Clifton Williams, 33, was watching cousin Jason Mayfield plead guilty to a felony drug charge when he stretched and let out a yawn. Circuit Judge Daniel Rozak sentenced Mayfield to two years' probation, then sentenced Williams to six months in jail, the maximum penalty for criminal contempt without a jury trial, the Tribune writes.

He probly pissed the judge off with other stuff too. Maybe the judge told him not to yawn and he started arguing. They never tell the whole story. They leave out the witnesses and the judges opinion and listen to the family members that lie to make him sound innocent. Makes a better story I guess. You really cant help any of this though so good find haha

he did it to disrupt the sentencing of his cousin on drug charges. i dont know what his cousin got but they both deserve harsher punishments for being worthless pieces of shit and completely useless to society

 

[special_k10101]

the guy who yawns gets jail time, the guy who has drug charges doesn't even go to jail, what the hell is that?

i hope that judge gets disbarred.
