Michigan Judge Goes Viral Again After Defendant’s Meltdown
A Michigan judge is going viral again for the way he handled an unruly defendant who nearly descended his courtroom in chaos.
Judge J. Cedric Simpson from Washtenaw County was met with disdain by 45-year-old defendant Darrell Lester Jarrell during a pre-trial hearing for a trespassing case on Wednesday.
Because Jarrell does not have email or a phone number and is only able to be contacted by P.O. box, Simpson offered to move back his court date to give him more time to talk to his public defender. However, Jarrell got angry at the prospect of prolonging his case, saying he was “ready to leave this state as soon as possible.”
