Louisville woman brought to court without pants (for 3 days) - of course she's black

[OnlinePoker]

Also, no feminine hygiene products. 1st time shoplifting charge and they were trying to sentence her to 75 days. The judge quashes the sentence and gets the senior person in the jail to address this (on film).

1. Judge says she never should have spent a night in jail.

The judge was pissed.

2. At about 9:50 the judge tells the woman to sue them (without saying it)

"...there's only one way it will be corrected...if you know what I mean."

16. I think the judge being on record

saying it is inhumane treatment will go a long ways too.

6. First offense, shoplifting.

Isn't that just a misdemeanor that would get a ticket and a fine in most places?

12. If you're white. nt

3. Good on that judge.

4. Meaningless

If no one is held accountable.

8. The judge did all she could do on the spot. Perhaps you could follow up and tell us how the County

....decided to handle their egregious personnel problem. The people responsible are doubtless civil service employees -- the judge is in no position to either fire or sanction them (if that's what you were thinking).

The situation is horrible, and clearly needs to be cleaned out from the top down.

By the way, it's not "meaningless" to publicly validate a person who has been humiliated and victimized.

13. All the judge can do at that point is refer it for an investigation

& even then it's going to be more of a civil issue.

5. "there is only one way this is going to get fixed, if you know what I mean"....I like this judge, a

lot! We need more of these .

7. They jailers should be fired, but of course, nothing will happen. n/t

9. The judges face at 1:30 says it all imo.

Yep, sue.

10. k&r

[floriduck]

11. The DOJ should get a copy of this.

[uponit7771]

21. +1, Why isn't the DOJ onto more of this shit... I would think it would stop when people go to jail

... for being assholes like the people who jailed this woman

[prarie deem]

14. This is an obscenity.

And people wonder why there is hostility in the black community. What kind of human does this to another human? Jesus.

15. Holy crap. The defendant was pantless!!!

The judge found out she had been pantless and without feminine hygiene product for three days! The judge said something like, "Am I in the twilight zone?" She then had her escorted out of the courtroom until they could find her some clothes.

[Brickbat]

17. Women get shit done.

As evidenced by this defender and judge.

[yardwork]

18. I was thinking the same thing.

[tallahasseedem]

19. That's a good judge right there...

she got down to the heart of his and was rightfully pissed off!

22. All prisoners are entitled to basic respect, humane treatment, and dignity.

Our criminal justice system, from top to bottom, is deeply in need of reform.
