Crazy Judge

This is sort of funny. In 2005, this judge put all 46 people in the courtroom in jail, after a cell phone rang, and no one claimed it. He told whoevers phone it was to bring it up to him, and when nobody did, he had everyone arrested!! Most of them came up with the $1500 bail, but those who didnt, stayed in jail. When reporters started calling him, and he realized that it was starting to get to the media, a couple hours later, he released them.

Today....he is removed from the court system. He said that he was having personall issues during that time.

This is a great example of someone taking advantage of their power. C'mon, all of that over a cell phone ringing?! Ridiculous! On the other hand, people should really remember to turn their phones off or on silent in places that is a given i.e. church, class, movies, etc. that they're supposed to be off!
