I have watched this carefully since it first aired two days ago. First I think the girl was looking at the whole thing as a joke. She was giggling, palying with her hair, and displayed an attitude like she really thought this was some kind of joke. (Reminds me of Linsey Lohan when she first started having trouble). When the judge set her bail she laughed it off, and turned to leave. The Judge saw and did not like her attitude, and the way she was just blowing the situation off. The Judge felt she was not respecting the court.
Judge called her back and doubled her bail. At this point the claws came out and the self centered young woman got mad. She told the Judge XXXX You, and flipped him off. An appology and submission at the time might have diffused the situation and got her off with the judge cutting her bail back to the original setting, but she blew it. As the Judge was questioning her she was showing irratition, and not accepting the courts authority. So the Judge decided she needed to be shown the world did not revolve around her. 30 days.
I believe this was correct and just. I back the Judge 100%. I hope she has to do the whole 30 days.
One of my brothers got into trouble when he was a teen. Beat me severly, beat up a city cop that tried to arrest him, and it took two State Troopers to take him down. He went to the county court house. The judge told my Mom, she was not capable of handling this young man, and they were keeping him till my Father returned from California. The Jailer did not want to put him in with the hardened men, so she put him in the drunk tank. They held him three days till Dad returned and went to get him out. During those three days he was puked on, peed on, and cussed at. He was too big for them to physically abuse him, they were afraid of him. When he got out he was one changed young man. He has never been in trouble since.
