She wasn't a defendant. She was only an observer. If the shirt was offensive, she shouldn't have been allowed to sit in the gallery. She should've been asked to leave. Allowing her to enter the courtroom, take a seat in the gallery and then arresting her for contempt seems just bit heavy-handed to me.Not for mouthing off an insult to the judge's face.

Rozenburg asked LaPenta if she thought her shirt was appropriate.
LaPenta said she told the judge that it would have been inaprorpriate had she been the defendant.

So how long do you think she should be jailed for wearing innappropriate attire in a courtroom?She wasn't jailed for wearing the shirt in the courtroom. She was jailed for mouthing off to the judge.

“Being embarrassed by being tossed out is a lesson unto itself.”
Upon having read the article, one realizes that it would likely require far more than being tossed out of the courtroom to embarrass the “girl.”

Perhaps but that or an affordable fine makes more sense than jail.

You would be correct except that the word “affordable” is of course relative.

My brother, on the other hand, went before a judge on DUI charges wearing a Budweiser t-shirt. I guess sometimes one member of the family absorbs all the stupid.

That first one looks kinda like a Klingon.
Here’s my question. If you are a gay woman...who decides to be the REAL rule-maker since both of them would have possession? I’m so confused!
To: Free ThinkerNY
Sorry, but I can't justify putting someone in jail for what a t-shirt says no matter how disgusting the message may be for me.

Ithink I’m okay with putting her in jail. Sometimes people need an attitude adjustment.

I guess the judge decided he owned the gavel and he would make the rules in his courtroom....itwas a challenge to his authority...
