A six month sentence for yawning in court? (See ABA Journal article below).
A man serving three weeks in jail for yawning in court?
It sounds like this imperious Illinois Judge is the sort of tyrant whom our Founding Fathers fought the Revolutionary War to defeat.
The Judge has power over "his" courtroom, but not the right to violate civil rights.
Will the judge be questioned, sued, removed or indicted for his human rights violation?
Or will this case be covered up?
What do you reckon?
I predict he will be appointed to a higher court or become administrative Judge, some promotion for his contempt for the process and the people who's lives he so dramatically impacts.
