Florida judge harasses domestic violence victim before jailing her: ‘You haven’t even seen...

A judge in Seminole County, Florida will not discuss her harsh tone toward a sobbing domestic violence victim whom she sentenced to three days in jail, WFTV-TV reported.

Oh, how many times have I seen complainants start the wheels of justice rolling only to FTA (failure to appear) when their court testimony is most needed? I didn't mind the extra overtime (4-hour minimum, easy money); it was seeing the charges dismissed with prejudice (no chance to refile charges) and then days later responding to the same DV call again. This judge's actions is the exception rather than the rule...which is why it made the news!

The Judge is a witch. The victim is being punished and I believe this underscores people who need help are stigmatized and punished.

I'm not surprised this is in Florida. There's got to be something in the water. That judge needs to be impeached.

Good for the judge. Until women take responsibility for their own lives, there will be no improvement. We would never see or hear if a man said he did not feel like showing up to court.
