Overkill for a Missed Hearing

Posted on February 25, 2006 by Carolyn Elefant

Seems like this judge overreacted by sentencing an attorney to 60 days in jail for missing a court appearance (notwithstanding that he'd explained his absence) - as reported in this article, Judge Mulls Over Missed Court Date - In Jail (ABA E-report 2/24/06).  It's not clear from the article what exactly made this judge so incensed - perhaps she ought to be sentenced to 60 days to reconsider the impact of her sentence.
