A teenager on a field trip to see a Detroit court ended up in jail clothes and handcuffs because a judge said he didn’t like her attitude.

The teen was seeing King’s court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit environmental group. During the visit, King noticed the girl falling asleep, WXYZ reported.

    You would have a bunch of incompetent judges. I say create a test and test them vigorously every year. If they fail, they come off the bench.

      Oh, i like this idea.

      If we had enough incentive to be a judge for a year, i think that there would be a lot of competent volunteers. I try to be an optimist, but it hardly works out.
