WATCH: Kentucky man shouts ‘punk a** n****r’ at black judge — and gets slapped with 60 days in jail

[Photographer]

Wow!

Kentucky man is spending 60 days in jail after he used a racial epithet in front of a black judge on Monday.

In courtroom video obtained by WDRB, Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Olu Stevens is seen revoking Adam Satterly’s bond on drug charges.

“Punk ass n*gger!” Satterly shouts as he turns to walk out of court.

Moments later, Stevens asks deputies to bring Satterly back into the courtroom.

“Is there something that you wish to say to me?” the judge asks.

Satterly argues that he had directed the slur at his brother, not the judge.

“No, no, no, I didn’t mean it like that,” the defendant insists.

“Oh, you didn’t mean it like that?” Stevens replies skeptically. “You don’t speak those words in here. And that word particularly, you don’t use that word.”

“I’m going to give you 60 days for having used that word. I’m going to hold you in contempt right now for having done it in this courtroom. It’s disrespectful; don’t ever do it again.”

1. I imagine it would have been a MUCH different outcome if the races were reversed

The white judge would have given the black guy 6 months in the slammer. In solitary.

11. I heard a story that in Norfolk back in the 80s

Young black defense attorney was trying a case before an established old-school white judge and the attorney was having a tough time with arguments, pretrial motions or whatever, so when court adjourned the attorney was leaving through in the lobby and commiserating with a colleague, and said in passing that the judge was an "asshole son of a bitch" or something like that...(he didn't yell it out or anything, this was a normal conversation voice)...

For reasons only God knows, the bailiff happened to be passing by and overheard the comment, so he RAN BACK into the courtroom, told the judge what he overheard, judge told the bailiff to bring that attorney back into the courtroom, and gave him 30 days for contempt...

[dorkzilla]

16. I can imagine that happening...

Judge couldn’t believe a (gasp) BLACK GUY even got his JD let alone dared to speak his mind OUTSIDE the courtroom. Good thing the fine judge was there to remind him where his place was.

[question everything]

45. They are shouting something like that at a President, so what a judge for them?

Unbelievable ignorance and stupidity on display. Glad this judge didn't let the jerk get away with it.

9. Another redneck life destroyed by political correctness!

"Yessir, time was, a feller could tell a rip-snorter of a darkie joke, or a good 'un 'bout wetbacks...but this lib'rul political correctness done killed all that. Ah'm votin' fer Trump, he'll git us back on track."

[yuiyoshida]

10. How does he even think

He can get away with that crap in a court of law. Guess He will learn this lesson well, for opening his big racist mouth.

Thanks for making my day. Now I KNOW MY SHOW IS FANTASTIC!!

[Photographer]

17. LOL... I'm not that interested in meeting ladies

But I am a geek I actually liked the last SW installment, have been Media Liaison for Dragon Con and have met the creators of many of the heroes that are being pimped today. Got drunk with a few of them.

Compared to agent Carter, Daredevil or SHEILD Supergirl falls way short. if it weren't for Allie McBeal it would totally blow.

[yuiyoshida]

19. YEAH, WELL

21. 6 seconds of The DUDE???

Sorry, this has to be the most lame Superhero film since the 70's hulk.

[yuiyoshida]

22. and in Japan you would be called an

Otaku. Yeah, that's not really a complement.

[Photographer]

23. Otaku (おたく/オタク ?) is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and man

Otaku (おたく/オタク ?) is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and manga fandom. Its contemporary usage originated with Akio Nakamori's 1983 essay in Manga Burikko.

I can live with that. Glad you got a chuckle. Never got into Manga or anime but it appears you must have.

[yuiyoshida]

24. I am Japanese American

I love All Asian culture...so yeah.. I have had my share of reading manga and Anime, but I never obsessed over it. Nor comic books or action figures. I love American comics too, and right now I enjoy watching Supergirl... I want to go back and catch up on The Flash, The Arrow and Gotham, when I have some spare time, which ...I don't have a lot of.

[Photographer]

31. The three you mention are quality wise leaps beyond SG... Especially Gotham.

[mucifer]

I'm certain you'll shortly rationalize the irrelevance of the direction you're taking the discussion, and from that irrelevancy, allow it all the creative credibility it indeed, warrants.

I know darn well this fool wasn't dumb enough to yell that as he was leaving the court room where everyone can hear and thought he would get away with it.

29. UPDATE: Judge Stevens wiped out the rest of the sentence today

The Judge wiped out the sentence today;

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Olu Stevens on Tuesday reduced a defendant's 60-day contempt sentence to time served after the man apologized to the judge for using a racial slur following a court hearing a day earlier.

On Monday, Stevens harshly rebuked Adam Satterly after he shouted out "Punk a-- ni—er" following a hearing in which his bond on drug charges was revoked.

On Tuesday, Stevens again had Satterly brought before him, this time with Thurman present. The judge lectured Satterly on proper court decorum and the inappropriateness of using racial epithets, according to several sources with knowledge of the hearing.

Satterly, who is white, apologized to the judge and maintained that while he shouldn’t have used the slur, he was speaking to his brother, not Stevens. Satterly's brother was in the courtroom on Monday.

[mucifer]

38. Glad he spent a day in jail thinking about what he did.

[tabasco]

40. Judge Stevens sounds like a wonderful judge. n/t

[47of74]

41. The righties don't like him much

Mainly because he's standing up for minorities and has a "bias against prosecutors."

They're trying to F with him because of his dislike of him.

35. Instant karma.
