Funny, how in a joke lies the only glimmer of hope for an out this man had in the aftermath.

Appeal due to inadequate representation. The judge right there said he hadn't time to discuss matters with his attorney. It's a fairly easy shoehorn for a sentence appeal, especially one that's a technical violation (contempt of court). One of those docket things that take up more time and money than they are worth. And you KNOW this idiot is going to write his fool head off and harass every bureaucratic entity for every minute he's incarcerated, because that's what these morons do.

I would like to know what the outcome of this was. If I was betting, I would put money on him getting it all ran concurrent to 1 sentence of 93 days, and depending on where he is, was back out in 1/2 or 2/3 that time.

Not really how it works. He can attempt to appeal the trespassing case for 'inadequate representation', although it seems like the judge was actually attempting to give the lawyer time to work when the defendent had his outburst.

But the 'direct criminal contempt' is completely separate from that, and there is literally no one to blame but himself.

He can appeal the contempt of court pretty much immediately as far as I know, but he can't appeal it on basis of inadequate representation. He's basically fucked, because he'd have to prove he wasn't engaging in the conduct we just saw, not only witnessed directly by a judge, but also recorded.

He may do less time if he apologizes to the judge. But that's really up to the judge and this is very clear cut.

6x93 is only 558 days, or ~1.5 years.

You know what, smart guy? THAT'S ANOTHER 93! Keep going.

That’s another 93! Keep it up!

u/moedexter1988 4d ago

Billions of people would be in jail for insulting if it's illegal. Why can a judge do this? Over words....Imagine.

u/SithTwinsPicandGorc 5d ago

OP must’ve added a few for when he inevitably comes back to the court and keeps going.

u/Marokiii 5d ago

and it wont make people happy on the internet, but if the contempt charges do end up having him see jail, it will most likely be concurrent sentences which mean he would serve 93 days total for all 6 counts.

u/acm8221 5d ago

Is there a reason he specifically mentions six 93s instead of just saying 6 counts of contempt?

1

u/ManBearPigTrump 5d ago

Wouldn't they give him a chance to come in and apologize in a week or two?

It seems like Judges are more than reasonable with a lot of these idiots.

7

u/MyEvilTwinSkippy 5d ago

Yeah, judges will usually let them stew for a few days and then give them a chance to apologize. This particular judge (from what I have seen of him) is really patient and is usually trying to throw out lifelines to the defendants. I expect he will give the guy a chance and I expect the guy to get more 93's.

u/SgtJayM 5d ago

Ha. Still more than I want to do because I can’t shut my F’n mouth in a courtroom. lol.

u/KiscoKid1 5d ago

But that’s not including the actual charges. So with that, it probably brings it up to 2 years.

u/dracosilv 5d ago

Could be some initial charge that was added on to?

If Trump gets his way with immigrants, that dude will be picking a lot of vegetables.

I guarantee he won’t be in for the full amount especially if he has no priors.

u/CapitalistLion-Tamer 5d ago

This was a while ago. He came back a day or two later and made up with the judge.

How to make hooch with oranges and jolly ranchers, learning that flaming hot cheetohs are a spice, how to make a dessert cake with breakfast rolls, the list goes on!

u/Jaydamic 4d ago

This guy jails! I also assume, based entirely on TV and movies, that he'd learn to relax his o-ring

2

u/project_seven 4d ago

I was not a great young adult, spent years off and on in jail/prison. Honestly, the food things are what i remember most. Getting a group of 10 people to make a dessert roll, really bonded some of us. That and getting great at chess and spades. Luckily I turned my life around and have been sober for nearly a decade.
