Not sure I get all this. A dude up for murder is slapped with a contempt jail sentence. Isn’t he held without bail for the murder?
The excerpts in this article does not accurately portray the sheer insanity of this exchange. This judge is just as unhinged as the defendant.This transcript is one of the most bonkers things I’ve read this year.
Only in the South. Can’t we reinstate the Confederacy and get rid of the South?
Why not just return it to it’s natural state of being a penal colony?
TPM:
Allen eventually threatened to “jack” it on the judge, with Durham egging him on, before Allen graphically threatened to murder his whole family with a hammer.
If nothing else, I suppose Allen has a case now for requesting a new judge. I’m not saying it’s a good case, mind you, just that it is a case.
I can’t speak to that but I don’t see a whole lot of life as a free man in his future. He bought himself ten years in jail just trying to fire his lawyer. I shudder to think what’ll happen when he actually goes on trial for murder.
Many would love that.
It’s too bad Allen is in jail since otherwise he’d have a bright future in front of him. Just change some of that gay stuff to ant-gay and I think we could be looking at the newest Republican member of the House of Representatives.
Somebody really wants to be Trump’s VP.
Nope
When Georgia’s trustees planned the colony’s creation, people like Allen would have a better chance surviving an encounter with the executioner.
They only wanted redeemable folks in the colony.
It was Australia that basically had UK officials dropping any belief in rehabilitation
The judged egged him on?
Uh, not very judicial, is it?
He’ll likely.get the needle
Nope
I’m out of order? ___ YOU’RE out of order! This whole damned courtroom is out of order! ___ and you can suck my donkey di*k!"

MR ALLEN: This is–this–this is kangaroo court, sir.
THE COURT: Do you–you know what. No, we’re not in Australia.
Well, that was pleasant.
If you didn’t read the transcript, make sure you do. Surreal.

In Ireland, this is how best friends greet each other in the pub.
Followed by a manly hug.
