The teen girl without a permanent home who was forced to don jail garb, wear handcuffs and ask for mercy after falling asleep in a courtroom is suing the Detroit judge who had her taken into custody.
Eva Goodman, 15, and her mother filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan against 36th District Judge Kenneth King. They allege he violated the teen’s civil rights, arguing King acted outside the scope of his judicial authority when he detained her, yelled at her and threatened her with jail time.
If that judge is so concerned about her sleep then he can buy her a house. She’ll sleep much better having a bedroom.
But he already offered to “Mentor” her personally while being interviewed after the incident, what more do you want from this guy?! /s
Ew.
Let me show u how to be a terrible person and criminalize ppl for having hard circumstances 🤢
