I thought the “I won comment’ related to the him bellino lawsuit

[@jenny_rice]

About the 15 year old falling asleep in the courtroom, I had heard the mom tell reporters right after it happened that the mom and girl were homeless at the time (I don't remember where they were staying/sleeping) but that because of that the girl hadn't had a good night sleep in days and that's why she was so tired. The mom was in tears and said she felt so bad about their living situation and said they were doing the best they could. So yeah, the judge was way out of line and you'd think he'd have known better on how to help a child.

[@ravens-crypt]

Even if that was the case it was still a overreaction from the judge

[@laineyluh9534]

Regardless of the living situation, whether struggling or a millionaire, a person in authority needs to set a positive example, not ridicule and demean.

[@cindy7938]

Hopefully they will win enough money from this Judge and others to get a home and some help for their situation…. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@ViennaDarlingvd]

Would definitely like continued coverage on the sleepy teen case, as I watch more and more trials there just seems to be such a stark divide between great judges and judges who only care about power. I would like to see how this case progresses

[@golddragonette7795]

its so weird compared to how he deals with sov cits, absolutely bizarre case with that poor teenage girl - absolutely not ok

[@2u2a]

The story about "sleepy teen" is terrifying. How is that not criminal charges?! Like kidnapping, or something like that? How is he even still allowed to be a judge?!

[@LinaGenX]

She was unlawfully detained. How is this not kidnapping as well as doxxing?

[@farmgirl-nursedoc]

Its unlawful imprisonment!

[@megtell]

As a teacher of 30 years I'd be fired and lose my teaching credentials forever if I did half of that crap. My heart breaks for that girl. WHY did the court officers follow the judge's orders to have her strip? Were there no other adults looking out for her? The judge should lose everything -- but others need to be held up to scrutiny.

[@miaepsilon]

I have so many questions too! Where was her teacher??? This is horrible.

[@bonnmott]

Yes. The leader of that after school program should have stepped in.

[@Lei-AICPhD]

You’re absolutely right that should never ever have happened anywhere!!!

[@rhonwynv]

@@miaepsilon I played this ep for my teacher husband and that was his first question too.

[@RMBlake007]

Why?? Because this happened in Detroit. A large portion of the people, including "professionals", think and do things differently there....things that would make the rest of us say, "Why?"

[@daniela_k_]

The lawsuit Shannon was talking about was the Jim Bellino lawsuit not the facelift lawsuit.

[@beab2434]

Yes, I came here to say that too

[@serena.kunstwerk]

That is what I thought too!

[@vew4612]

Yes that’s what I thought too!

[@tialemon26]

That is was was said...EDB needs to watch part 2 of RHOC reunion

[@sandycucinotti7967]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@malianac]

This isn’t the first time this judge has been in the news for bad behaviour THIS YEAR. A review is definitely needed

[@beepboop8374]

Or for handcuffing a teenage girl in the audience!!

[@allisonbernier6846]

❤PLEASE❤ follow the case of the judge against that poor teen girl!! I'm HORRIFIED!! That poor girl!! 🤬😭

[@dragons_flight]

Yes! 😥

[@Maazzzo]

I really hope Judge King gets what he deserves on this. That poor girl. She is a 15 year old CHILD. This is horrific. Please do follow up on what happens with that. I hope this judge gets what he deserves.

[@SillyPick]

I can't even with this Jude!! His power is over is head.

[@Maazzzo]

@ yeah it’s awful- and it will be twice as bad if he gets away with it. This is child abuse. He can call it whatever he wants, but this was solely to traumatise and punish this child because of his ego. He should not be on a judge’s bench. He shouldn’t be allowed near any children or legal decisions. I hope he gets jail time for this. It is child abuse.

[@jojocannon2536]

He should be banned from the bench- stripped of his authority as a judge. Disgraceful!!

[@FlyingTeaRex]

Disbarment is the only just consequence. He cannot handle power of any kind.

[@unaffili8ed]

@@FlyingTeaRex And prison!

[@CuriousMouseExploration]

He completely broke the law: Showing minors on public social media without parental consent; holding a juvenile faux trial without the protections due a juvenile in court or otherwise; exposing personal information of a juvenile on social media without consent; expecting her to strip her clothing off, likely in the presence of an adult for no legal reason - I'm glad she refused that - smart girl; punishing her for something she wasn't doing on purpose; using excessive force; removing her constitutional rights in multiple areas; I could go on. This judge should be charged with felonies of abuse of a minor, disclosure of her personal information and likeness without consent, wrongful/false imprisonment, denying her constitutional rights, and anything else they can throw at and convict him of. He should lose his law license and removed as a judge not permitted to become one in the future in any USA territory. And I remember she had a sleepless night for a really good reason, but can't remember what that was. At the worst, she should have just been asked to leave the room but ignoring her would have been the best. SUE HIS ASS OFF TOO! This is totally unacceptable and works to frighten the public about going to court.

[@dragons_flight]

Completely agree.

[@Ashleighp1021]

Wow that judge is wild. Would love to keep following that one forsure. I have a 15 yr old and I can't even imagine how furious I would be.

[@teresaolson7379]

That judge was WAAAAAY OUT OF LINE!!!! I’m very proud of the teenager and her family!!

[@jessicawalsh3343]

I got called out for supposedly trying to read a classmates notes during a test. She wrote the bonus question at the bottom of the board, I was trying to read it. I felt so embarrassed and defeated. I can't imagine what this poor student went through!

[@Sabrinasolomon_xo]

Emily you got it wrong!! Shannon said she won the lawsuit against Jim Bellino re the trampoline park. Not that she won against John Jansen

[@theanichols8184]

Please follow up on the Judge case. I’m really concerned about him being a judge

[@Pischina]

Hey Emily, I think the case Shannon was saying she won was the one that Jim Bellino brought - not the facelift case.

[@stephanieg3666]

It absolutely was! She wasn’t talking about the Johnny J lawsuit, which is still ongoing.

[@awesome13awfulness]

How wasn't the judge not called out by anyone? Did the bailiffs just went "Welp, if the boss says so...."!? 🤯🤯 How didn't the teacher step in? Don't they have a duty here to protect the minors in their care? Weren't there other lawyers who knew better?

[@jilliansmaniotto2326]

not surprised the teacher didn’t speak up - they likely wouldn’t have known how far out of line this was and would have definitely been afraid to cross him. when the judge eventually “appointed” an attorney to “represent her,” the attorney did push back.

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

Yes please follow the judge case. I have been so angry ever since I saw this in the news.

[@ramonajames610]

"Judge Kenneth King lost courtroom duties in August and was ordered into social-emotional training by the chief judge at 36th District Court. Instead of handling key hearings in major felonies, he returned this week to the court’s traffic division." -AP 9/26/24

But wny did he get to go back to job at all??

[@dawn18542]

Your hair looks amazing!

[@LilMomma_1]

what a piece of work that judge is. I would have been IRATE had this been my kiddo! WOW!!!

[@andyjudd9686]

Nice understatement.

[@cathyeclark9299]

Yes, please follow this. It is once again an abuse of power and bullying.

[@chicagodoll]

How is this judge not being CHARGED with unlawful imprisonment, at a minimum???? Yes, please follow this. We need to know when he gets kicked off the bench.

[@EdgyEspresso]

The judge lawsuit that is happening from what they did to that child is so disturbing. That judge should be removed immediately and made to pay for any damages or therapy needed.

[@ardysfleetwood6639]

Shannon was speaking on the lawsuit placed on her by Jim Bellino not John Jensen and she won against Jim Bellino and that’s what she was saying

[@britiabradshaw3878]

I CAN NOT believe this judge! And where were the adults in charge of this field trip? Please continue to follow this case.

[@tammarabg8174]

Please follow the Judge case. I am a retired teacher. O.M.G., I am so sorry that the student had to go through all of that. He was on a power trip. The lesson he taught this young person and the other students, was what abuse of power looks like. It used to irk me when fellow teachers would rudely waken students who fell asleep in class. I learned early that I know little to nothing of what a student is dealing with outside of school. If this student was just bored and decided to sleep through the presentation, she still did not deserve any of what happened. How fragile is the judge when he perceives this as a lack of respect.

[@Auntie-Reese]

OMG that poor little girl! This is despicable!

[@michellespencer7129]

If that was my child, you'd be reviewing an entirely different case right now and still trying to find pieces of that judge.

[@beepboop8374]

Right?!

[@beepboop8374]

I’d be adding as many charges as I could to this one too - sounds like CSA via coercion, from a person in a position of trust, false imprisonment, child exploitation, I’d even go after him for child P, because the fact that he was humiliating her and ordering her to be stripped and put into scrubs and handcuffed on stream is only going to attract a specific audience.. no sane person would continue watching that thinking it was perfectly fine.

[@Noitsbecky89]

Please continue this. We need to see the punishment for this judge cuz wtffffffffffffffffffffff

[@pridenprejudice2004]

Please continue to follow the judge case.

[@divanoramunoz]

Judge needs to be FIRED!

[@weirdpisces8476]

Please follow 32:20 this lawsuit I hope this lawsuit doesn’t get dropped

[@smittycat359]

I'm going to guess that none of the court staff, bailiff or the private attorney didn't express an opinion that perhaps the "scared straight trial" wasn't appropriate.

[@North_West1]

The bailiff can’t really challenge the judge in open court.

[@IncongruityDetected]

@@North_West1True, but this wasn’t during court. They were essentially using the courtroom as a lecture hall, no different than a school auditorium or a classroom. If they were visiting a school, would the bailiff have followed the instruction to cuff and lock up an unwilling child? Would that be legal? I can’t imagine it is. If nothing else, it’s horribly unethical . One of the adults should have stepped in and protected this kid.

[@alexchaplin2930]

I thought when she said she ended up winning that she was talking about her lawsuit with Alexis’ ex Jim Bellino? She said that line in part 2 not part 3.

[@krysteenasandoval2797]

Yes. They were talking about her ex and that lawsuit which is why Tamera even agreed that Shannon wasn't part of the judgement and considers it a win.

[@Happyatheart]

She was

[@jenw7344]

She was. eDB had it wrong

[@mamaglittercryptid3779]

Judge King is a horrible person and in my opinion needs to lose his bench position. That is so disgusting. What an abuse of a minor.

[@Lindon_Martingale]

EDB, you've well-embraced your natural wavy girl! Fantastic volume! e: Live chats in Michigan courts aren't uncommon. I've seen Judge King before, and I always got the impression he stayed far away from interacting. His temperament has occasionally strayed from what I would consider judicial, at times, but these allegations go far beyond that. And that's in context with his associate judge, Judge Bryant, a bit of an icon on KZbin herself, who delivers morning sermons from her own KZbin channel. Judge Bryant draws a hard boundary line between her work as a judge and what she shares on her channel, and I wonder if Judge King lost sight of his own boundary line. Knowing what I know of his personality, I can believe that he felt personally affronted by a student falling asleep. But if he admits to staging his own version of "Scared Straight," he admits that the scenario wasn't judicial in nature. Whether he did it for his own gratification or for the sensationalism of those in the chat, I don't see how immunity would or could apply. Judges often teach at law schools and for law programs. If they're sued because of their conduct as an educator, they can't claim judicial immunity for that. What shocks (and yet doesn't shock) me is that no one else apparently found his behavior, as alleged, troubling. I suppose that could be a defense to the IIED. "It couldn't have been that extreme if no one else thought it was." A potential arguendo.

[@North_West1]

Judge Middleton (st Joe county, MI) turns comments off before going on record. He will say hello before start of docket.

[@Lindon_Martingale]

@@North_West1 He does. I like Judge Middleton. He has a story to tell about everyone and everything. He also commended Natalie Lawyer Chick for covering the particular difficulties of Zoom court during the pandemic. The DA-Elect is also on KZbin (and has also appeared on Natalie's channel). I remain convinced that we can embrace the interconnection that social media offers us without inappropriately feeding our own egos.

[@Denuhm]

Judges not turning the comments off in the court is WILD? What is happening???

[@tinykitsune0387]

This seems to keep coming up. I also saw that judge bryant is being investigated for grandstanding on her channel

[@GuiltyBystander58]

I’m disgusted that a judge would be more concerned about his KZbin channel than his courtroom.

[@CocoRose336]

33:15 and no one stood up to him and said no they weren't going to play his games? wth

[@crispycookie9739]

QTALS 😂😂 Love it!! As for the case with the teen...where was the teacher? As a former educator, I would never have allowed that. Would have just taken my entire class and walked out.

[@leanndoolin4284]

Hey Emily, The Shannon statement in the clip is edited. I'm thinking she was referring to 'winning in that she doesn't have to deal with Johnny J anymore and he's Jesus Jugs problem now. She referenced that in the season finally as well.

[@AceysWildflower]

Please continue to cover this 33:10 The actions of this judge need light shined on it.

The judge’s actions were egregious and I am definitely interested in a follow-up. I hope he is as embarrassed as he made the student.

Shannon was talking about the first lawsuit “Jesus Jugs” was involved in. Her ex sued Shannon. Shannon won.

[@pattywagner1981]

YES!! Not the same case

[@jbenko13]

I kinda can't believe there doesn't seem to be a criminal route to pursue this "judge." What an appalling human being

[@JenKess]

I’m floored by this judge! Growing up my dad was a cop/detective and when we were teens he got PARENTAL PERMISSION for a couple of friends to go with us to tour the jail from entry like we were arrested all through. Then the jail had us make bologna sandwich’s for inmates. To show us what it’s like if you get arrested. I then did that for my teens. Key point… PARENTAL PERMISSION. And the whole world wasn’t watching in KZbin. 😢

[@caroline-x2s]

She said she won the case that she had with Alexis ex-husband. Not the new lawsuit with John. She said that that case is still ongoing, but she offered to pay.

[@betsybarnhouse5002]

I just can’t even! How dare he do that to anyone! Shame on him.😡 outrageous! He was not acting in his official capacity. Please follow this. I’m disgusted. I hope the teen prevails in this case.

[@mariathompson4875]

Lack of judicial temperament. This man should be off the bench right now. Are the rights of any party protected in this venue? The Chief Judge should move his docket to other judges immediately for the good of the parties, attorneys, and reputation of the Court.

[@tsyzdek]

I would have been soooooooooo pissed if that were my kid! Please keep covering the KZbin judge! That's wild! He should be immediately released from the bench!!

[@brysonb]

[@laineyluh9534]

[@StephanieStehling]

Yes, please follow this case. This is insane!

[@Lilyrose23]

We should also not ignore the adults that organized that field trip and let her get abused. They should’ve intervened and told him it was unacceptable and leave as a group. But they abandoned her and let her get abused. This is why you can’t trust anyone with your children

[@karenalas9247]

I do believe there are people you can trust with your children, BUT……. I agree; where were the adults in this situation? I would love to hear from a chaperone in this case. I can’t believe the passerby appointed lawyer, the clerks, etc. didn’t intervene during this situation. Absolutely nuts!!!

[@lisaburris9045]

Judge should be taken off the bench and sent to jail, also fined and the girl should get compensation

[@creativitybytrisha6819]

Ive watched judges who had chat on in the past. They never discussed chat or even read it until the docket/case was complete. Most, if not all, have been turned off now.

[@jford8216]

Isn’t asking a teen to strip some sort of sexual misconduct? Isn’t forcing her to reveal personal details forcing her to dox herself? Isn’t locking her in a cell kidnapping? Why is this just civil? I’m thinking there are criminal charges that should be brought!!

[@misslindsey235]

As someone who had undiagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome since grade 4 (and felt/still feel IMMENSE shame over my "moral failing" of not being able to control my sleepiness), the Sleepy Teen story breaks my heart and infuriates me. The fact that her identifying details were made public is horrifying. This got to me more than I was expecting

[@emilyboller7588]

25+ years ago, my brother was fascinated with all things police. Our friend was a detective and took my brother, one or two friends, and I on a tour of the police station for his 10th birthday. This included locking us in a juvenile holding cell with our parents permission and our consent. We (the kids) were all together and we were let out after about 5 minutes. This case is NOT that! I can't even believe what this teen was subjected too. As Emily was reading the lawsuit I kept wondering where were the teachers/adults in the court room? Did anyone speak up? What was being said in the KZbin chat? Based on the lawsuit, it seems this was "normal" behavior in that court room to the extent that none of the other adults in the room thought about speaking up.

[@doloresofcourse]

That poor child. How traumatic. I hope they get a very healthy payday and him off the bench. Her falling asleep was a complex trauma response. Fight, Flight, Fawn and Freeze. In Freeze the body shuts down, she had no choice in what physically happened to her. Her body shut down and she literally went to sleep to escape what was happening in the courtroom! I want to see that judge behind BARS!!!

[@aimeemorgado8715]

I was once humbled by asking a student about why they fell asleep in my class. What that student was going through was truly harrowing- yet they made a sincere attempt to make it to the class. While they didn’t really like my class, that didn’t matter. What they were going through wasn’t my business, and I should have been more aware and human- rather than feeling I was entitled to everyone’s complete attention. I will be forever embarrassed and humbled.
