Lawyer Gets 90 Days For Simulating Masturbation In Courtroom | The Morningstarr*

[A_B]

Reposa was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs, for obvious reasons

90 days seems a bit steep for something like that.

Judges don't like getting the piss taken out of them.

It's contempt of court. That's taken very seriously and not to be recommended as they usually throw the book at you.

I know it's serious but it's still funny.

It sure is. There is a polite way of saying "fuck off" in court. It goes something like "I refer you to the case of xxx v yyy", and the case concerned was one where the co-respondent just said "fuck off".
