How does a guy get a hyphen? Anyway, good for him! That purple streak in her hair tells me a lot.
Good example of the “you’re the greatest in the world at everything you do sweetie” upbringing.
Unsafe sex?
The judge was right on target with the way he handled her insolence. The judge’s heavy accent made him difficult to understand, at least for me.
My guess is that he married some power lawyer or politician before he was anointed judge. He took her name and she took his so that they could share the glory. He found the girl guilty of direct civil contempt. Judges are totally in control in their own courtrooms. If he had sentenced her to more he might have been overruled by his admin judge but 30 days is reasonable. We’ve had judges here kick people out of court for wearing shower shoes and even an American flag jackets. I was found in direct contempt once because in arguing my client’s case, I kept interrupting the other lawyer. After two or three times I was fined $25.00. I consider it a badge of honor - sort of like fouling out in basketball - if it doesn’t happen at least once, you’re not playing hard enough. But other than that, the judge represents the entire rule of law and even if I don’t respect the person who is the judge, I always stand when he/she enters the room. Same with priests.
Her mouth wrote a check her a^% couldn’t cash!!
Too late to be learning basics like this!
It’s pretty typical though. I meet a lot of young folks who think smart mouth = smart.
NOT!
I always wonder where they grew up. When I was a youngster and in MY neighborhood, you'd get your clock cleanded daily if you mouthed off whenever you felt like it and to whomever you wanted. It was tough ... but it was a polite neighborhood. As a matter of fact, no one felt sorry for the jerk who was always getting stomped on for that kind of loudmouth, smart a@& stuff... everyone else knew this idiot was not smart enough to figure out that it didn’t work!
Easy. One of my coworkers was hyphenated. His mother never changed her name when she married, so when the kids came along they were given both names.
