“Particularly after being completely castrated by Fani when she took over his courtroom yesterday.”
He warned her a couple of times. It was her decision to ignore him. He even called a 5 minute break for her attorneys to advise her that she wasn’t doing herself any favors (it was not for her to cool down). Yes, he could have charged her with contempt of court, but can you imagine the headlines!?!!!?
I think the judge decided if she was stealing the rope, he couldn’t do much to stop her from hanging herself.
Nope, it was better to just let her ramble on, be belligerent, combative, and ignore the judge’s instructions, and he will take that example of her lack of professionalism under advisement when making his final decision. Willis’ attitude, in all her bright pink glory, made the front page rounds of alternative news sites and all social media instead of video of a white male supremacist on the front of the WaPo and playing repeatedly on MSNBC trying to shut up a “strong black woman”. The judge made the correct decision.
Nonsense. The court is his ship and he is the captain. This is his domain.
No judge willingly loses control of his courtroom.
BTW, he has an election coming up this year.
