Our legal system is a joke IMO if that is what crosses the line from extended probation time ans community service to jail time.
I agree with that, but Chad needs to have some respect for the judge, his attorney and the process. He was there for a plee arangement for domestic violence. Last thing he needs to be doing is smacking his attorneys ***. Was the attorney a female?
I think the attorney was male. Tapping someone on the butt is a pretty common "good job" in sports (Johnson was a NFL receiver afterall) which is why I think the judge overreacted. I'd be fine with an original sentencing of 30 days in jail but based on the order that the events took place... this is stupid IMO.
Chad did it to be funny. Few judges are going to tolerate the defendant cutting up in the court room.
The judge took it as an insult as if the attorney had gotten away with a fast one. "Good job" slap on the *** was in her(judge) face. Ocho was showing the court he had no respect. He was denied!
It didnt help his cause that the entire court room burst into laughter.....he wanted to be funny....too bad.
Weird. She was praising the attorney, it was almost like a celebratory reaction to her comments and verdict. Then the court room laughed. Then she got butt hurt. This system is a joke. They should be laughing in there. 30 days for hurting some broad's feelings.
Well in her defense, he made her butthurt, made a mockery of her job while hurting her feelings. And he didn't even buy her drinks! Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
That's not how I saw it. It seemed like he basically said "good job" while the attorney was being praised. I don't think he played to the crowd or even considered them. IMO the judge over-reacted and most judges would not react like she did.
I think he apologized right after she scolded him saying his life is in shambles and he just tries to keep a smile on his face... something to that effect.
Ocho is a genuinely good guy. He doesn't get people paralyzed at a strip club. No, he buys masses of people movie tickets. Takes random couples from twitter out to eat. He helps get a homeless guy back on track, or at least enjoy his life a little with some celeb status. He flies a mourning widow to his wedding a week before it happens because of a tweet response. And after all of these nice gestures, this b!tch of a judge superficially passes judgment on the guy for a harmless act of praise - one that is commonplace in a sport that Ocho has been participating in all his life. The US legal system IS a joke. This is but one example, and an insignificant example compared to how many lives the system has already ruined due to BS practices, policies, and sentences.
So shouts of joy, hugs, high fives, tears of relief, kisses, hand shakes are okay. Butt pats are not okay. That's where the line is drawn now...this is the precedent?
