WTF are you taking about?
This has nothing to do with anything. The individual told the judge she thought she had turned her cell phone off. For crying out loud.
This has happened to me at least a dozen times. The buttons are so small, and sometimes if you don't fully depress the off button the damn thing comes back on or fails to shut off.
The tax paid judged is drunk with power and should be REMOVED!
Grow some manners before you face a judge.

This girl also was playing with her phone during the court session. Sounds like she could of cared less. The judge knew this and commented on it....
"I know you've been playing with it all morning, sayonara."

You are not a 17 y/o with good eyesight that plays constantly with their phone. I have one of these things too, I can tell when it is off clearly enought. Heck, if a judge told me to make sure my phone is off, I am unpluggin the battery.
Well I guess some people are more competent than others. Anyone in one of my staff meetings whose cell phone rings, that individual is excused for the remainder of the session.
As a sub, I look at students while they talk out of turn in class and call them on it. At least half will look me in the eye and tell me that they weren't talking. My reply, "You get into double trouble when you lie to me. I was watching you. Now, were you talking?" Then they fess up. Moral of story: Don't believe all people who claim innocence.
