Judge throws teen in jail for 30 days for giving him the finger.

It means "can't come up with many original thoughts".

Incorrect, as per usual. As you brag about supposedly having me on ignore, how could you possibly have any relevant or credible comment to make about what I post?

From Florida law:

903.046 Purpose of and criteria for bail determination.

(1) The purpose of a bail determination in criminal proceedings is to ensure the appearance of the criminal defendant at subsequent proceedings and to protect the community against unreasonable danger from the criminal defendant.

In this case the judge is clearly using increased bail as punishment for misbehaving. Wet, is this in violation of the spirit of bail, as outlined in the law?

When she muttered "Rick Ross" she was, in coded language, threatening the judge of pelting him with apples and orangutans. Throwing her in jail means keeping the Xanax safe from her abusing it.

Based on my limited observation of the American Judicial system, can anyone share what the actual % of time served versus sentence levied is? .. Lindsay Lohan only ever spends 1/3 of her sentence, so would Penelope be serving 10 days? .. just curious ..

Or the judge determined that her behaviour in court showed that she had little regard for the court process and an increased amount of bail was necessary to ensure her attendance.

You mean to say doubling the bond amount for an 18 year old making 200/week is not punishment? Her behavior gives no indication of the value she would place on 5,000. Furthermore, there is no indication doubling the amount would have the desired effect.

Honestly it looks to me like he got his desired effect.

He was antagonistic for whatever personal reason, the only cause I can think of for him baiting her into contempt of court was he intended to throw her in jail.

There was no baiting. She was warned clearly and chose to not heed that warning.

Worthy note: Hispanics are more than 50% more likely to be charged than white folks (and much less than blacks)

America's justice system works best if they get them young. Giving them any more of a chance is plain wrong!

The point of increasing bail is to make the financial penalty more coercive in order that attendance is compelled. That is the basic theory of setting bail amounts.

Remember George Zimmerman who is accused of murdering Trayvon Martin. He was released on an initial bond of $150,000 that was revoked and replaced with a new bond of $1 million?

She never interrupted the court's process, she was standing at the podium respectfully waiting for him to be finished, regardless of prior, ambiguous "warning". There was no obvious indicators he was done until he condescendingly dismissed her.

Are you under the impression she would have said or done the things she did had the judge not antagonised her?

Logic says no.

What say you?
