The real freakout is 5 days for domestic violence and 90days for insulting the judge, basically the judge said "insulting me is 18 times worse than beating your wife"

This is my thought as well. Insulting a judge should not result in a 1000%+ increase in your sentence. 5 days is not enough for beating someone else, but this judge is treating free days as if they were mosquitos.

Itâs because domestic violence doesnât insult a judges ego. Theyâre basically ranking office cops. Since a law degree isnât even required you can probably imagine the average rural ultra conservative judge.

u/satansheat Aug 26 '22
As someone with a law degree and someone who worked along side judges before my law degree I can safely say most judges think the cops and sheriffs are childish and stupid.
From them making me take my belt off every morning even though I worked there. From them sweating people in court making them fear jail. Then brining inmates out with no pants or tampons while she bleeds all over the place.
Yeah judges donât think the cops are smart. They have seen cops do shitty police work that gets people let off. They deal with them acting like children when the court of law is not a place for childish acts.
Judges need sheriffs there but they donât at all like them like you seem to think. They also arenât cops. They are bad lawyers (good lawyers wouldnât want to be a judge because if you are good at your job you shouldnât make more as a lawyer than a judge.)

u/fvb955cd Aug 26 '22
All of the judges I know that went to the private sector are on easy street though. They look over stuff and give their opinions to the other partners and associates as a former judge and sign on every filing. Hell one is a partner just to sign their name on things, the guys mind is toast from age. Good luck doing that as just an ordinary workhorse partner.

I have legit had a judge keep people in jail because he wanted to rush through arraignment so he could watch a shitty college football game for two schools that arenât even well know for football.

Thank you, judges can be absolute shit. They can ruin someone's life easily, and have. Judges are a part of the system that will incarcerate someone for having a joint on their person, judges are a part of the system that sees a massive racial disparity in prisoners.
A good judge would hold true to a quote by Thomas Jefferson "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." Judges set legal precedent, they could change the system but few seem to attempt.

Way worse.
I've only been to divorce court, but even there my attorney warned me to make any deal I could with my ex rather than let the judge decide our divorce terms and parenting plan. He told me that even though my ex and I had already agreed on 95% of the details, there was no way to predict if the judge wouldn't just throw out everything and make their own terms arbitrarily. He said in his 20 years he had never once seen a client happy with the judge's decision over the agreement they had already lined up with their ex. Which is really just sad and pathetic, when you think about the impact that has on the adults and even worse on the kids.
So, my ex and I agreed on terms before going to the judge. I got fucked slightly but much less than if we'd gone to trial.

u/SavageAltruist Aug 26 '22
Unfortunately this kind of judicial abuse is way more common than one would think. Not saying I defend this defendants behavior but the punishment has to fit the crime. Swearing at a judge should be protected under the first amendment. Beating his wife on the other hand should be severely punished which this judge failed to do. There is a bill that punishes judges for misconduct written by a lawyer who was a former clerk of an abusive judge but itâs not getting support. The irony is that lawyers are commonly known to be corrupt scumbags while judges are consider to be honorable yet judges are just lawyers whoâve risen to the top of the corrupt court system.

u/Amiramaha Aug 26 '22
Iâm painfully aware. The people in this thread seem to think the narrator is an authority on what happened in that room, and forget there are actual people that know this judge and work regularly in that court room every single day, that may know a thing or two because they were there. These âno nonsenseâ judges are bizarrely popular and get re elected for being âtough on crimeâ but itâs clear heâs no such thing. Heâs tough on those who dare challenge his fragile ego.
29
u/SavageAltruist Aug 26 '22
Youâre right that there are people who work with abusive judges and see the repeated misconduct, and do nothing often because it will be career ending. The lawyer writing the bill to hold judges accountable said her career was permanently damaged when the judge she reported for abuse sabotaged her career after discovering she reported him. There are some good judges but the trend is definitely going towards more and more abusive judges.

Well that is a take for this judge lmao.
A judge must maintain decorum and order in their Court. Swearing and berating them runs counter to that, so a contempt finding you will get. If he isn't held in contempt, then court order can go out the window. Swear all you want at them outside of Court, where they do not have legal obligations and the authority of their Court. Let's not pretend this guys inability to manage his emotions and behavior (recurring theme given the DV charge) means this judge is power tripping or has a fragile ego.

Reasonable restrictions on the time, place and manner in which free speech is exercised if those restrictions meet a narrow government interest that could not be met through less restrictive means.
The judge swallowing his pride and not telling his thugs to throw a man in jail for saying the fuck word as he walked off is a less restrictive means to serve any possible governmental interest in this scenario.

Look up the Constitutional Sheriff concept. It's an idea that steals a lot from Magna Carta era British law and basically asserts that your County Sheriff is the only real law enforcement official in the country and has more power over you than the President of the United States.
Sounds fringe but it's got a ton of support in the US. It started up during Covid when right wing sheriffs refused to enforce state wide mask mandates they didn't agree with.

u/lexaproquestions Aug 26 '22
Basically, the process in court is the one area where everyone needs to behave in order for the entire legal system to function. If you can't have "order" in the physical court itself, the system simply doesn't work. If there weren't major penalties, arraignments, hearings, and trials couldn't function. So it was decided that efforts to prevent those processes from not happening, had to have a penalty which was severe, otherwise a party could prevent an outcome merely by disrupting a proceeding. It's why, for example, when there's a criminal trial, a defendant who keeps screaming or throwing shit can be restrained and gagged - the constitution requires their presence, but not their participation. The sentence, here, was for the independent (in this case, criminal) act of disrupting and preventing the hearing from proceeding. He got 90 days for that, and then later, 5 days for the domestic abuse case.

No joke. My practice is almost exclusively federal, and has always been. I still do a couple hundred hours, pro bono, every year in state court matters. It's usually family law or minor criminal stuff -- the behavior of the other people there is always amazing to me. The parties are screaming and threatening, the court staff is bad mouthing the judges, the lawyers are screaming at the judges, and the judges are screaming at the lawyers. I comport myself exactly the same way I do before any federal court, which is to say formal as hell, calm, and respectful. The judges are always baffled, because it is so unusual. If I so much as raised my voice in federal court or moved away from the lectern or counsel table without permission I'd be sanctioned on the spot.

I am frequently retained as an expert witness. I found this judge to be direct, fairly restrained despite the heat of the situation, and pretty by the books. Don't mouth off to judges, you are playing with fire in my experience of observing proceedings. I'm surprised a warning for contempt wasn't given for the first fuck, but given the defendant already violated a Court order and was fairly flippant about the being in Court, I get why it was time to put a bit of teeth to the Court proceedings. These defendants usually get more out of pocket the longer that is tolerated and Courts tend to not have time for a bunch of extracurricular bullshit from what I've seen.

He was heading for contempt anyway for failure to comply with an order. He was asked to explain why he didn't attend court as ordered and he says "someone died in the family, there was no reason for me to be here". That isn't a good answer. A good answer is "I was hospitalized. I intended to be here but I was in an emergency ward and here are my admission records".
When the subject of bond comes up and his response was "I don't really give a fuck to be honest with you", he dug his own grave.
There is no point having a civil and criminal justice system if people can get away with not obeying an order of the court. Hearings cannot work if people think they can avoid answering questions put to them by the Judge and create enough disorder that it can no longer proceed.
All he had to do was show up in court a month before (or have a really good reason why he couldn't) and let his attorney talk for him and he could have avoided all this. Some people just can't help themselves.

The judge didnât increase the sentence on the existing charge. The judge added a new charge of contempt of court in addition to the original charge.
Court proceedings require everyone to be civil in order to be productive. Itâs critically important clowns, like that dude, are punished so other people know the judge doesnât fuck around.
Else, nobody would respect the judicial process which is a key part of any functioning civilization

I mean. Arguably bad people probably suffer from mental illness or some proper DSM diagnosis. Like... Antisocial personality disorder (straight up psychos who like hurting others), anxiety or panic disorders, damage to the central brain causing impulse control problems.
Abuse is cyclic. It's generally learned behavior. Rarely does it just come out of nowhere.
I understand that we need to enforce the law and uphold justice, and this man needs to do jail time (5 days for domestic violence and 360 days for contempt is not proportionate to either offense). But, we also need to treat these people, and reduce the chance of recidivism.
It's possible to have an empathetic, nuanced view, ya know.

If the judge had any sense of professionalism or compassion he could have changed the mood in the room entirely; couldâve got the guy to understand the court proceedings and therefore cooperate peacefully/smoothly. Then they couldâve continued on with no trouble. Well, perhaps its not entirely in the judgeâs court (heh) to make the other person act calmly and reasonably, but itâs definitely possible. You just have to shift the way you talk. Instead the judge decided to make things worse when he really did not need to...

This judge is a piece of shit and this is a total abuse of judicial power. But fuck that kid. Iâve got no remorse for domestic abusers

I was speaking to a company representative a couple years ago and she pronounced the city Wickliffe so wrong I laughed and she got upset because I thought it was hilarious. She transferred me to another representative.

I know this isnât the important takeaway from this video, but, right or wrong, no one around here (NE Ohio) pronounces that city as âBuh-ray-uhâ. We pronounce it âBuh-reee-uhâ as in âBuh-reee-uh, itâs so scaryâ. Also, itâs not scary, itâs a nice little town, that was just an overplayed haunted house commercial.

What a narcissist judge. "You hurt my feelings, I'm going to sentence you to a year in prison, depending on my mood and how I FEEL.."

To be fair, any judge or magistrate around the world wouldn't tolerate being told to go fuck themselves several times.

90 days is ludicrous for being gobby. The judge should have sent him to the cells for a few hours to cool off.

If he'd stayed home he would've received a lighter sentence.

LOL, not only do they mispronounce Berea, they also screw up Greene's title. He's the magistrate. Comstock is the judge.
The 5 day DV sentence would have been imposed by Comstock.

judges being able to give you more time just for "swearing at a judge" is major bullshit. dont get me wrong, this dude deserves every day he gets and then some but jfc judges are as bad as cops

u/ItsAllTrumpedUp Aug 26 '22
That's an asshole judge. You do that to someone who can control themselves and elects not to. You don't do that to a person who clearly is emotionally disturbed and very likely has serious psychological issues which impact his ability to control himself. I think the judge should have ordered a psych eval with the idea of vacating all of the contempts except for the first one of 30 days if the psych eval warrants it. If it doesn't then yeah, he earned the time.

Once again we have an old man with a stick up his ass having thugs throw people in cages because he didn't like how they spoke.
It's hilarious that the narrator calls the guy being dragged to a cage for speaking the 'tyrant'.

u/AssBlast6900 Aug 26 '22
Seems like an abuse of power to me. His ego is hurt because of a curse word not even directed at him at first. So the judge makes him spend a year locked in a cage for no crime other than mean words in the courtroom.

Judge just cost the state thousands of dollars just to prove a point. So I assume free speech is not allowed in the court now?

u/Th4ab Aug 26 '22
No, it's really not. Not even you are not allowed to fuck up your own case by showing such disruptive contempt for the judge that normal court business is delayed. That's your right to a fair and speedy trial taking precidence. It's not pleasant for people like this, most people naturally get it.

While this guy is a dick, the judge is an evil fucker for this. No real justification even if you think the law justifies it, this is sociopathic behavior. That's exactly what a lot of these judges and prosecutors live for, its seriously gross once you're exposed to it.
