Judge sentences man to over year for cursing


VIDEO DESCRIPTION

A judge gains attention after a video circulates showing his firm response to a defendant's repeated outbursts. During a court session, the judge initially sentences the man to 93 days in jail for contempt after the defendant uses profanity. Despite the sentence, the defendant continues to curse, prompting the judge to add 93 days for each outburst. This leads to a total sentence of 558 days, or over a year and a half. The defendant, originally in court for a misdemeanor trespassing charge, expresses frustration with the state, his outburst captured on a Zoom call where other defendants are present. The next person scheduled to appear before the judge is visibly surprised by the interaction.
