He had already plead guilty. That's part of a plea agreement, you have to plead guilty, or no-contest, to receive one - hence why it's called a PLEA agreement. I thought you said you worked in the court system.

 

All she did was alter the terms of the plea agreement. Chad and his attorney could have decided to back out of the agreement at that point, since it wasn't officially filed, but they didn't. Because then they would have had to prove that he was innocent of his probation violation....which he wasn't - he was guilty as fug. Had they backed out and fought it, he would have served the maximum.

 

He still got off light.

 

The problem is her line of questioning and action is unusual and unlike the court system. She asked him a question knowing there was the possibility of a human response/reaction. She invited him to hurt her feeling or make a mockery out of her court room. She lost control of her court room and tried to get it back knowing the proceeding was being recording by TMZ(a national publication). She lost control because she tried to be casual. The proceeding was over at that point she didn't need to make small talk. She should have moved on to the next case instead of wasting tax payers' time asking Chad about his lawyers performance. In NYC the court system is so back logged there is no time for idiotic behaviors like this. We're professionals. We're not the south. How is Carolina?

It's not her fault that Chad smacked his lawyer on the ass like a dumbass, no matter how you attempt to rationalize it.

None of my comments implied I'm encouraging Chad's behavior in any environment. I spoke strictly on the uncanny behavior of the judge from what I'm used to. The legal system from the cops, the lawyers, the clerks to the judges is a barren unexciting place. Everyone wants to just their routine by going by the book to the best of their abilities and go home. The loud voices, the overreactions are things we see little of. There rare time judges do get emotional when they deal with young kids in domestic cases. Two grown adults fighting in domestic cases are daily stuff. Nothing to get excited about. If that judge had any balls at all she should not have to wait for a pat on the back or the mockery of her court room to send him to jail after violating his parole. A pat on the back is just too arbitrary when people's freedom is on the line.

I'm sorry I know first hand of domestic violence cases where a man has beaten the poo out of a woman and spent a night in jail. He's in jail because his name is Chad Johnson.

There are murderers and rapist out there roaming free but if tap your lawyer on the backside you get 30 days what a joke. Jails are crowded enough.

he's going to jail because he violated his parole. not because of his name. he got a second chance because of his lawyer convincing the judge that he was taking this stuff seriously and HE blew that second chance because he disrespected her courtroom. but yes...he's going to jail because of who he is and what he's done. his name, tho, has nothing to do with it. keep believing that's the case, tho, if it makes your world make sense.

Well when the attorney general of Florida says she overreacted....it pretty much proved my point. Step into a courtroom you'll be surprised what gets 30 days.

You say this:

 

Stephen A Smith thinks he speaks for the black community just because he is black.

 

And then you say this:

 

Everybody who saw the video  agreed the judge went overboard.

 

Do you have any mechanism for self-detection of irony?

1. The AG is *not* this judge's boss.  The AG is a member of the executive branch.

 

2. The AG does not know the details of this case from the beginning.  The judge does.

 

3. The AG was not in the courtroom for every minute of this case.  The judge was.

 

But you keep on fishing for every article that happens to agree with you to justify your position of support for a clown who beats women.

Don't need any. That's what you're here for.

If the cameras weren't there it would be just like the courts you're used to.
