Lawyer jailed for mock masturbation!

WTOPnews reports that:

A judge in Texas has jailed a lawyer for ninety days for making a lewd gesture and simulating masturbation before a court in March.

The judge claims that during a contempt hearing, the lawyer rolled his eyes at her and then made a gesture from his hip aimed at a prosecutor.

The lawyer tried to defend his behaviour as just a ‘zealous attorney defending a client’ and asked to be jailed for just one day. The judge, however, said it was an honour to uphold the integrity of the judicial system and sentenced him to ninety days in prison.
