    I tend to think the source was probably the lawyer who appeared for the reluctant witness. The same lawyer the Judge finally acknowledged could withdraw (the client actually said he didn't want or need her anymore) and after which the Judge entered the Order to Show Cause making her and others show up at a later hearing. What I'm not clear about is why the lawyer would be in trouble for communicating what had been said unless the ex parte meeting was itself confidential or the Judge believes the lawyer was violating the rights of the witness.

    I hadn't thought of that, and it's an excellent point.

    I still find this wild. I don't know how the ex parte could be justified, and the judge's failure to address that is hard to understand

    If the title was “Old Thug’s lawyer held in contempt” I would’ve definitely thought it was about Trump

    Utmost respect for all the legal minds commenting on this but I can't believe no one here knew who Young Thug was.

    No offense taken. I am what I am, an old white guy. I would look even more foolish if I tried to act culturally relevant

    The Georgia Appeals Court immediately forwarded to the Georgia Supreme Court which ruled for the defense attorney. Bottom line, this case is reversible and should be stopped. The judge should be disbarred, and Fani Willis' office is completely corrupt and incompetent. Fulton County is as corrupt as it gets.

    Anyone wanting to know about this case can find plenty of fireworks on YouTube.

    Or a young BLM protester or rioter during the “Summer of Love” in 2020. I’m sure you remember all the destruction of Federal Buildings and the police stations and other properties being badly damaged or totally destroyed.

    I certainly do.

    I also remember hoping that everyone criminal or violent was promptly dealt with by the justice system. And that every leader who incited violence was also dealt with similarly.

    Now it's your turn. Do you hope that everyone violent on J6 is dealt with by the legal system? Do you hope that every leader who incited this violence is held to account legally? Certainly you can't support anyone whose incessant lying about fake election fraud incited these riots? Definitely you don't support anyone who ignored their oath to the Constitution and gleefully watched for over 3 hours as cops were beaten and our Capitol desecrated?

    Am I right? Or do you support criminality? Do you cast your vote for it?

    Judge Glanville got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and then held the lawyer in contempt because he was angry he got caught. I would be surprised if this isn't overturned.

    I know who Young Thug is. Not a fan of his music, but I know of him and have heard a few of his songs.
