Total abuse of power. Judge show be fired IMMEDIATELY. Possibly even sentenced to 10 days in jail to give her some perspective.
I don't know anything about the law so somebody answer this for me. Is her say the final say? I get that he would have been much better off with a simple head nod and shouldn't have done what got him into court in the first place but I don't get how she has that power "just because." I mean seriously she has to write on the paper she is sentencing him to jail because he made people laugh in the courtroom? Really?

She can hold him in contempt for up to 6 months. Also, the appellate court, I think, reviews it under an "abuse of discretion" standard, which means the trial judge can basically do whatever the frick she wants on these types of rulings.

he was in there for violating his probation. he is essentially at the mercy of the judge
when 18 year old jamal from the ghetto violates his probation, he usually doesnt have the luxury of a plea deal. he just goes straight to jail
