To be honest, there should be some limits on how long a judge can hold you in contempt to avoid them abusing their power by taking defendant actions as personal.

- lwhalen 6y agoThere are limits, according to the article. 18 months. The judge is choosing to ignore the statute because, well, he is allowed to. The nitpicking over the minutiae is pretty much why we have a legal system.
- jollofricepeas 6y agoYeah, that’s what I was referring to. It appears that he has no higher authority to appeal to because the judge has unilaterally said “the defendant is not a witness” thus the 18mo limit does not apply.
