Most contempt of court cases are tried by a judge without a jury. Under Federal law, I believe any minor criminal charge does not require a jury ... and “minor” is defined as any charge where the maximum sentence is six months or less.
All the same Susan Bolton is a POS who should be removed from the bench, but sadly about half of the Federal Judiciary is in the same boat.
“Under Federal law, I believe any minor criminal charge does not require a jury ... and “minor” is defined as any charge where the maximum sentence is six months or less.”
And if the fascist judge finds you guilty of 10 misdemeanor charges, with consecutive sentencing, you’re serving five years in prison. That’s more BS brought to us by the vile fascist pig William Rehnquist.
