girl flipping a bird at judge got 30 days jail

It reads as though the judge read the situation properly in terms of responding to courtroom decorum, however, the real question has to be what 30 days in jail might do to someone who is a flippant and airheaded person by appearances and whether that is really in the best interest of the prisoner or society as a whole. The judge needs to be aware that for some people humanizing the stress of being in a courtroom can override their commonsense. It's not an easy experience to go through.
 
"bye-bye" sounds like Judge was kind of trying to "ignite" her and she replied "Adios". That is not bad word at all. I think that judge was "overpowering" her. There is nothing you can do in the courtroom.
 
The judge will inspect girl's cell room to meet sanity requirement. :lol:

She got what she deserve. She was being outright disrespectful.
 
Great government waste of tax money! prob cost about $1500+ just to keep her in jail for 30 days... we need to make prisoners pay for the cost of incarcerating them..

I also believe that inmates should pay their incarceration bill and be made to work if they are physically able.

Hopefully the 18 year old teen will learn to show more respect. She was being disrespectful throughout the whole hearing. The judge had enough and threw the book at her.
 
She also got a $10,000 fine. That girl was totally disrespectful.

No, it was bond that require to pay to get out of jail.

She will have trial to get jail sentence and fine after conviction of crime.
 
She's 18, so no expectation that she's immature and childish.

She won't be mature until 20's, though.
 
A defiant teenager...no matter if she is 18....if I were the Judge, I would have given her 60 days , picking up trash along the road ways....and a $5,000 fine....Feel this won't be the last time this girl is gonna be in jail or facing a Judge.

You can't give the harsher punishment that beyond the state law allowed and the age does matter - many people in her age is immature and have no experience in the real world.

For me, she needs to be in drug rehabilitation.
 
If you're in court, you would WANT to be on judge's good side! Too bad she's too stupid to pick a side.

She is legally an adult. Drug rehab? For flipping a judge off? Uhmmm Nooo. She needs the 30 days to learn to think before she act.

Well, perhaps not...but this is what I would have given her...this girl seems to only want "attention"...acting as if she's at a comedy club instead of standing in front of a Judge....At age 18, she's totally defiant and has no respect...probably thumbs her nose at rules and authority.....and more than likely, acts the same way to her Parents....no boundaries for this girl....

Maybe 30 days in jail will solve the problem, if not...then this girl is gonna be in and out of jail. As for a drug rehab, good luck with that....with her attitude and disrepect towards the Law...feel it's not gonna change her...not one iota.

The success rate for Drug Rehabs in my city is very, very low.
 
The mirth of contempt is called schaedenfreude and it is no laughing matter. All I had to go on was the article. Had I been there my deafness and impaired vision might have deceived me, further I'm personally dealing with popular persons who have authored an imbalanced series of extremes and my judgement may be impaired, however it remains unclear why she turned a magistrate into the enemy. I saw no evidence that anyone was asking her to hide or be ashamed, so her conduct mystifies me. She has to make due consideration for the order of procedure. That is all. It is basic. It is final. It is as much for her dignity and safety as anyone else. No matter your station in life it is not too much to ask a measure of deportment and deference in a court of law. It is after all recognition of your own power.

Disrespecting the courts is not really all that understandable. The courts must be kept safe as a place for differences of opinion where the heart can be laid bare. Deception in a court is the very meaning of dishonorable. There should be no invitation to dishonor especially in a society where intimidation is everywhere. Think if Brown had been afraid for his life in the anti-segregation decision and all that would testify as to the dignity of our jurisprudence. I'm sure the magistrate perceived intimidation, that was clear from the article. He moved to censor it for public safety.

Admittedly, given the degree of sadism present in our nation's lock ups the gesture may prove misplaced or counter-productive. It may do warning. It may do lasting harm. It is clearly a case of bad conduct being put on severe notice. Whether the crackdown was justified is not entirely clear from an article which may be biased. I wasn't there. I witnessed nothing. I feel sorrier for her than I do for the magistrate right now. Her conduct borders on something that cannot be allowed. Contempt can become intimidation and the consequence to objectivity would derail mankind. The threat to court safety may have been exaggerated. The Justice of the Peace did not think so. Experience may count for something. I certainly hope so.

A young girl caught in the season of fads misjudged her manuveuring room. Regretably she's been sent to a place where she'll learn to Horst Wessel.
