Yeah, you don't want to do that to a judge...
Because of Covid regulations many courts are conducting their hearings via Zoom. And that seems to be making some people take the whole thing a little less seriously.
Case in point: Louisville lawyer Shanika O'Neill is now facing a contempt citation because she straight up hung up on a Zoom call with the judge because she was fed up with her client.
Watch how everyone reacts:
(Just for context, you can't see Ms. O'Neill in the video, but you hear her voice. Her client is bottom left and the judge is top left)
BRO. 😳
So, basically what happened was O'Neill wanted to get out of the misdemeanor case and asked the judge if they could withdraw. The judge says, "nope." And O'Neill goes on a little rant about how terrible her client is and indicates she doesn't care if her motion to withdraw is denied, she's done.
The last thing she says is, "I bet I don't appear again." Then she was OUTTA THERE.
Look at these reactions! 🤣
😂🤣
They can't believe that just happened!
The judge couldn't either. And now Ms. O'Neill is facing contempt of court.
Also, did I hear that right? Did that dude say "I don't have a mental illness. I'm from Florida"?? 🤔
