Do Girls have something special. This Judge questions.

Today's 19 year olds in this country & common sense do not a combo make.  I'm only in my early 30s and I'm disgusted with the lack of manners, civility & respect that the "new" America shows daily.  Still, I do not believe the judge had legal right to do this.  I'm no lawyer, only guessing.  I'm sure many a ambulance chaser is calling her up right now with promises to make her rich with a civil suit.  Handcuffing the two together for 72 hours sounds fair to me for both.

She didn't wear it to court she wore to the gym then took a friend to court doesn't seem like she pulled it out of the dresser and said "I think I'll where this to court today." Maybe the judge was post menopausle.

She showed up in the courtroom wearing this shirt. Therefore she wore the shirt to court  She should have sat outside the courtroom. She was not required to be in the courtroom. It was her choice to enter it.

Again fellas....common sense. Freedom of speech does not permit you to yell fire in a crowded theater does it?

True the judge was harsh on her. If it were me, I'd have her escorted out of the room, not jailed. But the point is, show some respect in a court of law. For if you don't you may go to jail.

for wearing a T-shirt that read: “I have the p—-, so I make the rules.”

I don't get it. She was thrown in jail because the writing said she had a p----, but was found to be lying? It is inappropriate to make false statements in court.

yelling fire is different dude.

put it this way.

had she been jailed for wearing a shirt with a picture of a 357, would that ba acceptable?

or one with a dirty harry saying? like the "do ya feel lucky punk?" one?

like i said.....she was wrong...but the judge had no right to do anything more than have her removed.

I'm wondering if we're hearing the whole story here. Surely the judge just didn't point her out and say, "your going to jail". I wonder if the girl got lippy with the judge to piss her off enough to warrant a visit to the pokie. This does bring up an interesting  civil rights question.
I'd like to see if this is followed though by the courts.

Well, 19, has a attitude, and have no respect for what the judge wqas trying to point out.  Yea, i wouldn't pass it if she said something that cross the line to get her in jail.

Slaves to other counties, just don't know it yet. 

[guncrasher]

it reminds me of of here in california if you show up with shorts and t shirts to court, they will make you wait outside of the courtroom and if the judge feels like it he might let them in the court after he's done with everybody else.

IMHO, the right thing to do would have been to get her out of the courtroom. Off you go.

[john9001]

she was jailed and then released?  What crime was she charged with?  Contempt of court is a misapplication of the power of the court.
