Brown originally got himself in trouble when he reportedly lost control during a March Juvenile Court hearing
The court’s refusal to hear the case upholds the lower court’s decision to uphold Brown’s jail sentence for contempt of court.
Brown originally got himself in trouble when he reportedly lost control during a March Juvenile Court hearing.
Juvenile Court Magistrate Harold Horne denied Brown’s request for that case to be dismissed, and that’s when Brown allegedly became verbally abusive.
Recording of the proceedings caught Brown saying in part, “On what authority do you sit by the way? As a former judge here, we have a rule in the 30th judicial district that says every single magistrate, referee has to be unanimously approved by every circuit, chancery, and criminal court judge. I don’t recall that your name’s ever been submitted sir!”
