Please tell me that he still needs to be available at the courthouse.
I am thinking he doesn't get to just go home, but there will be a little conference room with a broken soda machine, no cellphone, no internet, folding chairs and just an old rotary phone on the wall, where he will have to cool his heels.
If not, then why wouldn't every criminal defendant, in every criminal case, do whatever they need to do to get kicked out?

Or you can sit on the bench in the cell we have downstairs.

(82,345 posts)In this courthouse, there are jail cells where the judge can place an acting out
defendant until he cools down.
This was said by former Chief Assistant District Attorney of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office,
Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

(17,802 posts)the judge has him on a short leash. He likely won't get a second warning.
He will get a timeout next. As mentioned, the court has holding cells and interview rooms they can toss him into.
