Since he was not inside the court house, where does the judge get off holding him in contempt of court?
What's next, walk up to the door of a court house while armed and get locked up for that too?
I could see it, "No weapons are allowed in the courts and so even coming near court house while armed is contempt of court and you'll be locked up."
Where will it end?
A Florida man will be spending some time in jail for activity that is usually allowed outside a courthouse. Mark Schmidter passes out jury nullification brochures. Schmidter was found guilty of “indirect criminal contempt” Tuesday for passing out pamphlets in Orlando during the Casey Anthony trial . . . The pamphlets he was handing out described jury nullification, the power of a jury to return “a verdict of ‘Not Guilty’ despite its belief that the defendant is guilty of the violation charged.”
