Really? It sounds like the judge has exercised the utmost restraint:
"I honestly have never experienced [this] level of unprofessionalism in my career. It's, it's unbelievable," the judge fumed. When McNeill tried to defend herself on the record, Scherer shut her down. "I don't want to hear it, I don't want hear it," Scherer scolded. "You've been insulting me the entire trial, blatantly taking your headphones off, arguing with me, storming out, coming late intentionally if you don't like my rulings."
Cat fight!
“You’ve been insulting me the entire trial, blatantly taking your headphones off, arguing with me, storming out, coming late intentionally if you don’t like my rulings.”
The judge lost her authority when she made it about herself. She should have started the “I will hold you in contempt” trail with the first “insult”. I usually give two chances and then a stern talkin’-to, then off to contemptville we go.
