Chad Johnson gets 30 days in teh Pokey after he slaps lawyer's ass.

What a friggn moran...he had a plea deal and then does something this stupid and judge rejects plea deal. Chad Johnson gets 30 days in jail for probation violation Posted by Mike Florio on June 10, 2013, 11:36 AM EDT Not since Vincent LaGuardia Gambini found himself repeatedly in contempt has the lack of courtroom decorum had such dire consequences. According to Local10.com, former NFL receiver Chad Johnson appeared in court today in connection with allegations that he violated probation by failing to keep in touch with his probation officer. Though prosecutors initially wanted Johnson to be jailed for the infraction, a plea deal was reached. Under the terms of the agreement, Johnson’s probation would have been extended to December 21, and he would have performed 25 hours of community service. “You better thank your lawyer. He did a great job for you,” Broward Circuit Court Judge Kathleen McHugh told Johnson after accepting the agreement. Johnson responded by slapping attorney Adam Swickle on the butt. Which prompted the judge to call the whole thing off. She believed Johnson wasn’t taking the situation seriously, so she rejected the plea deal and sentenced him to 30 days in jail. Johnson pleaded no contest last year to battery of his wife, who has since divorced him. He was cut by the Dolphins in the aftermath of the arrest. The good news is that he’ll be free in time for training camp. The bad news is that there isn’t, and won’t be, a training camp to attend. |

CJ was already on thin ice.
He's already demonstrated that he doesn't respect the court because he didn't see his probation officer for 3 months. He's already been given more of a rope than a normal person would get. Most people would already be in jail because of that. When he showed up for court he wasn't dressed right either. Have you ever been in court or on probation? Your freedom is riding on the whims of the judge / prosecutor you don't do anything that could jeopardize that. He did. |

I was going by physical appearance only. I imagine her exact physical twin that is capable of smiling and being nice.

it's really, really pathetic. at least Johnson's name will spread far more over the internet over this than hers will, since he's already known, which somewhat makes up for her pathetic, publicity seeking decision |

Whatever. Don't do it and you don't go to jail. Simple as that. I don't care what you think of her, if you think patting your attorney on the ass in court is a good idea you're stupid.

I wouldn't want her anywhere near any case of mine never know when she might wake up in a bad mood and decide to make you the defendant instead of the plaintiff. Maybe decide that your body language is wrong so you should go to jail for 20 years for a speeding ticket.

She was giving him a break, then decided not to. She didnt send him to jail because he was being an idiot, she just didnt give him a break because he was acting like an idiot.

the plea deals are discuss between the lawyers and the DA ... then they are sent to the Judge for approval. she approved it and then vetoed it because her period hit.

As Americans, we are incredibly cavalier in our reactions to people being thrown in jail. Forcing Americans to live in prisons should be a last resort to punish those who present a danger to society. It shouldn't be used to teach grown men lessons in courtroom decorum.

You people are missing the point. She didn't throw him in jail for smacking his attorney on the ass. She sent him to jail for not taking his case seriously and that's exactly what she said. If the dumbass would have been to see his PO like he was instructed to the last 3 months he wouldn't be in this position anyway. I'd lay 100.00 that he doesn't complete his probation without incident. He thinks he deserves special treatment. You want a real education to your local criminal court during docket reading at 0900 and see what goes on. People on cell phones when they're not supposed to, people in shorts, flip flops, people with their pants down to their ankles, and people just acting stupid. If you go to court you better act like it's important. There are people there with handcuffs and guns and the holding cell is 25 feet away at all times. I speak from experience. |

Watch the video you idiot. She accepted the plea deal and only sentenced him to jail after the butt slap. The buttslap is the ONLY reason she rejected the plea deal.

So, do you want to change your story now based on facts or what?
Did she or did she not revoke her approval of the plea deal simply because of the buttslap?
