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

What reason is there to think 5,000 was not coercive enough? Her bail increased as a direct result of her behavior - it was a punishment, and in direct circumvention of the spirit of the money bond. Zimmerman was a son of a judge and 150,000 -> 1,000,000 is a substantial increase. 5,000 -> 10,000 is not, and it is disingenuous to state otherwise. It is clear 5,000 is a substantial amount for her to appear.

Obviously that was a bad/dumb answer, one does not need focus on that because everyone knows it.

Really? You didn't see the way the judge first dismissed her while she waited? You didn't see and hear the judge mock her "adios" after doubling her bail, then dismissing her again in the douche-like fashion he did the first time? You are in need of some special glasses and/or a hearing aid, then.

The way I see this is the judge made an example of her. How is the worth of her jewelry in any way relevant to the prescription drug charge she was originally brought in for? Judge was being just as much a smart ass as she was and because he's the one with the power, she's the one getting nailed for it. That's it in a nutshell.

If criminal contempt was saying "Rick Ross" (obviously she had no tangible number) then he should have done it then and there, instead he antagonised and mocked her. This is not proper behaviour of a judge that wants the judicial system to be taken seriously.

I've seen better attempts at playing dumb than this.

The judge gave her plenty of leeway. Her contempt of court started long before she ever opened her mouth. Look at the video, she had the audacity to show up in his court (on a possession charge of all things) high as a kite. You may argue this all you want but she is high.

He is a judge, it is his job to judge her. That's what he did.
