Woman argues with judge and ends up with 300 days in jail

ELYRIA -- Ebony Burks earned the dubious distinction earlier this month of drawing the longest jail sentence that Elyria Municipal Court Judge Gary Bennett has ever handed down for contempt of court.
Burks' 300-day stay in the Lorain County Jail came out of an Aug. 14 hearing during which she was being arraigned on domestic violence and assault charges in separate cases.

Just look at this from a practical standpoint: The judge told her she can't go home. She has nowhere to live. She just arranged herself a place to live.

I wish she would have just kept going. This person clearly doesn't understand the whole "living in society" thing.

[@gogooshttrflshr6335]

She might not be as out of control as you might think. She can't go home, so she needs a place to stay.

[@nancydaniel707]

Fixing her hair, lol

[@bobojr456]

I mean she solved her homeless problem so...looks like a win-win except for the tax payer. Btw, can you collect welfare if you are in jail?

[@BackSeatHump]

[@dougwebb6193]

That judge lost it and cost the taxpayers a lot of money. Not cool!

[@drsch]

I'm sorry, but that was a horrible way to handle that. Does this Judge have no professionalism at all? He clearly got angry and let his emotions get the best of him. I'm not impressed.

A year of her life for popping off at a Judge? What she did isn't right by any means, but all she did was step on his ego.

[@jordanjohnson714]

Justice was served, just a little bit too much imo. I don't think that little argument was worth 300 days of imprisonment.

[@dawnstephenson7653]

Power hungry judge

[@richardingersoll29]

JUDGES EGOs

[@obeythelaw5504]
