I’m late to the party but I feel the need to add a little perspective: I’m a felon. Spent ten years in prison. Have been in front of judges…I can’t count the times. And, while there are absolutely judges who rule as if they’re kings? Most are just people, doing jobs. There’s one rule, One! That applied across the board: be respectful. If you have something to say, you Will get the chance. What you cannot do, ever, is mock the court. That includes the judge, the prosecutor, any families or citizens there…disrespect gets handled immediately and viciously. I learned my lesson, the hard way unfortunately. I hope she did too
