Teen girl sues Detroit judge who detained her after she fell asleep in courtroom

The teen girl without a permanent home who was forced to don jail garb, wear handcuffs and ask for mercy after falling asleep in a courtroom is suing the Detroit judge who had her taken into custody.

Eva Goodman, 15, and her mother filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan against 36th District Judge Kenneth King. They allege he violated the teen’s civil rights, arguing King acted outside the scope of his judicial authority when he detained her, yelled at her and threatened her with jail time.

Is she falling asleep in this picture, too? Lol

If that judge is so concerned about her sleep then he can buy her a house. She’ll sleep much better having a bedroom.

Small men try to take respect by force instead of earning it.

One of our orderlies said he thought I was a dick until he realized I only have one social personality and everybody gets the exact same treatment whether it’s my bosses boss or my homeless psych patient with charges. I have pretty much 0 grasp on social cues, but I will absolutely wipe your ass if I can see that you genuinely need it. It was one of the better compliments I’ve ever gotten and honestly I think one of the biggest reasons I get along with most of my patients better than people who can’t understand that mindset.

King said he reached out to the family to help mentor Goodman, the family says they’re not interested.

This guy is so bad at damage control it’s hilarious.

Fuck him, I’m glad they’re going all in on this loser fuck.

This a-hole judge should be removed from the bench and fired for this. Or at least forced to undergo the same treatment.

Has this judge even been to court before? If you’re not there to sue or be sued(or tried) or to watch someone for a specific reason, then court is boring as hell. Instead of punishing someone who fell asleep, congratulate those who stayed awake - that’s far more worthy of notice.

She was on a field trip and not scheduled to be in court. He just reached out into the crowd and just sent her to jail because his feelings were hurt.

Judges are always soft bitches when people don’t treat them better than the average person for wearing fucking bathrobes in public.

Guess what judges, you’re a naked loser underneath those robes, just like the rest of us, you sad soft pieces of shit.

From one of the linked articles:

“Eva Goodman, 15, attended King’s court earlier this week with a nonprofit on a field trip.”

I’m guessing that non-profit is done exposing kids to courtrooms now even as simple observers.

Task failed successfully.

That judge should clearly have been removed from the bench, instead of just being asked to attend some sort of behavior class with pay. The usual slap on the wrist with a feather for the privileged.
He clearly lacks a sense of scope, and limitation to his powers. And apparently has extreme views on punishment for nothing burgers that aren’t even illegal. He also has a complete lack of empathy and understanding how strongly punishment can influence a person, especially a young person, and especially a person being punished harshly despite doing no harm.
He is completely unfit to be a judge.

I hope the girl wins her lawsuit, and the judge will receive some true punishment through that.

… and his past cases need to be reviewed. Is someone serving 10x the usual jail sentence for some infraction because of this judge? Probably.

Whenever I hear about a shitty judge, DA, or cop that’s where my mind jumps immediately. Once one of these people have their judgment or integrity called into question, every case they had any involvement in should also be questioned.

But… But he also offered to mentor her. He said it in a really creepy tone.

Sounds like grooming to me.
