WATCH: Woman in Kentucky attacks judge after being sentenced to 10 days in prison

The judge was a woman, not a man. She appears to have trouble with men and authority figures.

[ez]

Yep, but in this state every day in jail awaiting trial counts as two days served on any resulting prison sentence because the county jail is considered a far worse place to be than any prison in the state.

This might be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Now a day is not a day...it's two. Unfreepingbelieveable.

When i saw that judge say in her smug elitest way “You go now” and her little hand gesture that followed i woulda been compelled to jump over and choke her as well.

[Libloather]

You don’t take orders very well.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Aw come on mom! You’re embarrassing all of us!

[GenXFreedomFighter]

Yeah, because this law-abiding angel was just minding her own business when that mean old judgmental judge insulted her with that dismissive wave after sentencing her to several days in jail for attacking her husband and disrespecting the court. There's no reason at all that she should consider the consequences of committing violence when someone upsets her. Completely proportional response, if you ask me.

(/sarc)

[TheOldLady]

Well, assaulting the judge was pretty contemptible.

[Texas Songwriter]

Your Honor.....may we approach the bench?

[mowowie]

Well, i said i would be compelled to jump over and chock her.

In reality i would have dropped my head, muttered yes ma’am, and scuttled away.

lol

This is not going to end well, is it?

Looks like there is all sorts of excitement going on here in Kentucky.

One of my delivery drivers was just shot at by a drunk. The guy was trying to get into the back of Carl's truck, and pulled a gun when Carl tried to stop him. Initially he said that he was going to shoot out the truck's tires, but he then turned his gun at Carl and ripped off a couple of shots.

Fortunately the guy was a lousy shot. The KSP now has him in custody. Carl was understandably extremely shaken up by this, so one of my co-managers went out, picked him up, and drove him home.

Civility.

[Libloather]

This is not going to end well, is it?

For me? Yes. For her? No. If I was the so-called husband, I would take this 'domestic violence' evidence and burn it to DVD - many times - right now.

[Libloather]

Carl was understandably extremely shaken up by this

Wow. Carl needs a gun.

""I put her on the floor, restrained her, using my knee and any other body part I could to hold her on the floor while I handcuffed her," Court Officer Adam Dodson told WKYT."

Seriously? No follow-up question?

the county jail is considered a far worse place to be than any prison in the state.

The two I've been in (county jails) were absolute s### holes, that was in my drinking days, more than 30 years ago. I know they aren't supposed to be country clubs but they surely constituted cruel and unusual.

One was in the middle of January,temps outside were below zero and something was amiss with their heating system, not too cold mind you but it got up to 115 F. in there. Most of us stripped bare a$$ naked but that's not a lot of relief when it's that hot, I spent a miserable 36 hours there.

The other one was actually a town jail, not county. The jailer accidentally left the cell unlocked, there were only 2 of us in the cell. The other guy simply walked out, he tried to convince me to go with him but drunk as I was, I knew better. I knew that I'd bail out in the morning but adding escape to my relatively minor charges would have been compound stupid.

“Harvick is in jail, and her contempt of court sentence is expected to be lengthened, according to the report.”

Ya think?

[WKUHilltopper]

I’m betting the Judge’s maiden name is Hatfield.

[Stonewall Jackson]

I wish we could conceal carry, but company policy prohibits this. There some places that we have to deliver to that I’d probably feel uncomfortable in anything smaller than a tank.

So, she's trying to prove she didn't commit domestic violence by strangling the judge.

Interesting legal ploy.
