'Shows a lack of respect:' Judge steps off bench after 'rude' line of questioning by Travis McMichae

Judge Timothy Walmsley says he had to step off the bench after 'rude' comments were made. According to the pool reporter, Jason Sheffield began filling a couple of big pages on his board and it was all very visible to the gallery.
Judge Timothy Walmsley was not pleased with this and said this type of behavior will not be tolerated. Says he had to step off the bench.
Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed on Feb. 23, 2020.
Cellphone video leaked to the public shows two armed white men in a truck approaching the 25-year-old Black man as he runs down the road. One of the men, later identified as Travis McMichael, and Arbery struggle over McMichael's shotgun before Arbery is shot and collapses.
Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and William "Roddy" Bryan, who recorded the video, are all charged with murder in Arbery's death.

What is important to remember here is, the defense attorney cannot answer questions that he just asks for the wittness. He had been repeatedly warned about his outrageous behavior. He cannot tell untruths such as, Mr. Aubrey was stealing because the home owner said he did not. The video of him in the home proves he did not. They cannot link this murder to another robbery had happened by unknown person and without evidence because it is not relevant. The question before the Jury is ONLY if these three defendants committed a crime not the police, not Mr. Aubrey.

@@stephanyalakroush9507 WTF are you talking about? Just because "them guys" claimed there had been robberies in the neighbourhood doesn't mean its true! No home robberies were witnessed by the McMichael's or anyone else in the area. Travis reported his gun missing (from his *car* it should've been locked away in his home) but again there were no witnesses. Just lots of assumptions because they'd seen a black guy jogging in the neighbourhood. "Them cops" can't just apprehend a person because someone believed (without evidence) that he might’ve done something illegal! That would be like me telling police I saw you in my neighbourhood and you seemed strange. In addition a few cars had been stolen and I'm sure you did it. Would you expect the police to run over to your home and question you? Would that be fair? And no, the defence lawyer cannot sue the judge, prosecution team or the police for defamation or anything else. That's madness! Apart from the fact he wasn't defamed, the defence lawyer did not follow the judges direction correctly and deserved the dressing down he received. As for "them cops" they did their job well once they got the necessary evidence. You do realise this murder was covered up for about 2 months because the incriminating video wasn't handed in? Active duty police apparently knew about it but didn't investigate because McMichael Snr was a retired police officer and had worked for the DA.
