@UniverseUndone7 Normally, it's hard to get contempt charges overturned as the contempt is considered to be witnessed by the judge. However, if it was refusal to turn over the name of the person that informed the attorney that rules were being broken, the appellate judges might well overturn it.

@Otis151 It doesn't matter what the reasoning is, the defense attorney had a right to be at the meeting. It is a big no no for the judge and the prosecution to have secret meetings about the case. Any time there is court business involving the case, the parties have the right to be there. This wasn't a simple handing in of some documents for the judge to review, but even there, a copy would go to the defense.

This should guarantee a mistrial at least, if not guarantee that the entire case gets tossed out on appeal if he is convicted.

It's likely that the state supreme court will ultimately throw out the contempt charges, so the judge will get his more recent precedence to use next time he illegally finds somebody in contempt of court. It's also likely to be a bit of a moot point as this should be grounds for his removal from the bench and disbarrment.

@huma474 Doesn't matter, as explained in the video, one side does not get to meet with the judge in private except under some pretty specific circumstances and the other party has the right to know what happened and object if need be.

@huma474 This is no different from being in the military and being order to commit a war crime. In both cases you're allowed to say no. Although there can be consequences in both cases.

@Jplays23 Probably, there's a lot of judges between state, local and federal courts, just having more YT channels covering this stuff is going to rake up the muck. There's a reason why most judicial proceedings are done with the public being allowed to witness the proceedings. It's mostly things that are purely administrative and things of a sensitive nature that are done in private. Most of the time, the public has the right to attend the trial to make it less likely that this kind of conduct will occur.

@lostbutfreesoul They do, however there are limits on what those rules can be. For instance, you can't make it a rule that the defendant has to plead guilty if they did it. And the judge can't have a rule that they can make out with attractive women in the court room.
