    Why is he not sitting in a cell for contempt of court?

    The judge is setting a bad precedent that is going to be used every single time he tries to hold anyone else in contempt ever again.

      I think this is a case of “I know you’re going to appeal and say I was bias. They’re going to look at how much I let you do and get away with and laugh in your face.” I think she’s playing the long game.

        Couldn’t anyone else that was held in contempt for doing the same shit down the road use this in their appeal though?

        I dunno, giving special treatment to certain defendants doesn’t seem like “the long game” to me.
