Didn't say that. She could've waited. Her job is to represent her client, which I don't think she's doing very well if she pisses off the person who passes judgment.
Equally so, she was demanding something of the court that the judge was going to explain had already happened (the article links to the transcript) except she kept trying to talk over the judge.

« on: May 28, 2016, 12:45:04 pm »If there's no indication that it was because she was a black woman, why the fuck are you bringing it up?Well, in this case, it looks like at least one reason was to get people like you to spread the story around. I'm sure they're thankful for whatever amount of revenue you just brought them :V
"People like you"? Dem's fightin' words, son
on a serious note, though, what doth thou mean?I was highlighting BS journalism ie they made shit up. In the short-term folk might click the link, but in the longer term (sensible) folk will realize they talk nonsense and look for better sources.
Huff Post article about a public defender who was handcuffed and seated with inmates after interrupting the judge.
This is the wtf though:QuoteIt's well within a judge's power to restrain a person who is acting out of order in the courtroom, but rarely do they use this power against an attorney advocating on behalf of a client. And while Hafen didn't make any specific references to Bakhtary's gender in the court transcript, it's possible to see the incident as fitting into a larger pattern of men silencing women in this kind of setting.
This nonsense, sensational bullshit. If there's no indication that it was because she was a black woman, why the fuck are you bringing it up?
She's black? I thought she just had a really killer tan. The article does mention the judge was referring to her by her first name, which is not a thing you do in court, right?
Indeed, it was unprofessional. Is there a causal link between that and her being a her? Probably, but she was also being unprofessional in trying to talk over him, instead of waiting for the dude to make his point and ignore it as she continued.
The punishment for such was extreme, but the judge didn't say "SILENCE WOMAN OR I'LL CLAP YOU IN IRONS!", he got pissed with someone he dealt with on a regular basis overstepping their bounds, and went overboard himself. Idiots all round.
