I read the article.

What I meant was that giving her 21 days for a cell phone going off isn't a way to "teach someone to straighten up their life." She was in court, facing a drug charge.

The punishment she recieved should have been solely limited to the verdict (45 days) the judge rendered on that said drug charge. The additional 21 days was out of context of the crime itself.

That clear enough for you?

The 45 days was limited to the drug charge, and that sentence came the following day.

You're correct, the 21 days was outside of the context of the crime. It was 21 days for contempt, a totally separate matter.

"The punishment she recieved should have been solely limited to the verdict (45 days) the judge rendered on that said drug charge. The additional 21 days was out of context of the crime itself. "

She didn't get 21 "extra" days. She's serving the penalty for the contempt charge at the same time as the 45 days she's serving on the drug charge and will spend no "additional" days in jail.
