Judge trumps middle finger with jail time

Davey1965 Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 535 views 11 comments
A Miami woman has been jailed on contempt charges after flipping off a judge during a drug possession hearing.

Miami television station NBC 6 reported that on Monday, local time, 18-year-old Penelope Soto laughed when Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat asked how much her jewellery was worth as he inquired about her financial assets.

The judge told Soto to be serious and Soto said she was.

He set Soto's bond at US$5000 (NZ$5958) and said bye-bye. Soto laughed again and replied, "adios". He summoned her back and reset her bond at US$10,000.

Soto asked whether the judge was serious and he said, "I am serious. Adios".

Soto flipped him off and blurted an expletive as she walked away.

Unamused, the judge called her again and sentenced her to 30 days in jail.

Upon discussing this with a friend from Miami, I have come to the conclusion that this was a cultural misunderstanding. I propose that there be a course offered called "Miamians and You: An Attempt at Understanding Miami Its Language and Its Culture." Part of the course will require an in-depth look at the Shit Miami Girls Say... and Guys video on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtB29gJ6dLQ

Currently, Flipping of the finger, in many states, is a mistamenor crime of Assault With No Injury but when you add that to a court official. Could have been charged to serve 24 months. Guess Soto could sit on that and rotate for a while LOL
