A teenager on a field trip to see a Detroit court ended up in jail clothes and handcuffs because a judge said he didn’t like her attitude.
The teen was seeing King’s court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit environmental group. During the visit, King noticed the girl falling asleep, WXYZ reported.
Judges have a lot of leeway to hold people in contempt of court. But because the US is so big and has so many judges, you’re bound to get a few shitty ones.
