I am sure those of y'all with kids have threatened to tape their mouth shut.
Some of you might have actually gone through with it.
Can a judge make the same threat to a defendant in the courtroom?
Ohio judge Stephen Belden said that taping the defendant's mouth was the best way to restore order in a hearing for Harry Brown. The judge ordered the bailiff to tape his mouth shut following Brown's complaints about his lawyer and countless interruptions.
After the tape came off, the defendant said the judge wasn't being respectful.
So I ask y'all ... was it professional of the judge to tape the guy's mouth shut?
