Gay Judge Indicted For “Official Oppression” After Allegedly Handcuffing Attorney, Restraining Her In Jury Box

A Texas judge who gained national attention for displaying a pride flag in her courtroom now faces felony charges after allegedly ordering a defense attorney handcuffed and held in a jury box.

Bexar County Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez turned herself in Thursday on charges of unlawful restraint and official oppression, the New York Post reported. The 60-year-old became the first openly LGBTQ judge elected in the county when she took office in 2019.

“I’m a proud public servant, I’m LGBTQ, I own a gun, I’m bilingual, I’m an American citizen — and I have every right to defend myself,” Gonzalez told the outlet.

The charges stem from a December 2024 hearing where Gonzalez clashed with defense attorney Elizabeth Russell, according to court transcripts obtained by KSAT. Russell asked to speak with her client after he pleaded “true” to a probation violation. Gonzalez refused and said attorneys cannot coach their clients.

When Russell objected, the judge ordered the bailiff to “take her into custody and put her in the box,” the transcript states. Russell was handcuffed and placed in the jury box.

Whoever decided that DEI should be a criteria for electing or appointing judges really really made a big mistake.

Homosexuals are mentally ill and have no place in a court.

He's actually a "he." And he looks like a he.

Not a bug, a feature.

Like the area around Kyoto, it's kinki.

So does this mean she's going to pull out her piece and blow people away while yelling "Adios you homophobic gringos!!!"

I own a gun

That isn’t a safe mode it needs to end asap no telling what she will do next with her lack of self control.

Bonus round remove her from the bench she can’t be trusted with the power of law.

Awfully close to an ethnic joke and stereotype there.
