Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yes, Donkey of to day for Friday, August sixteenth, Back
to back, go to Judge Kin of King. Okay again now,
yesterday I gave Judge King of King donkey of the
day because there was a young sixteen year old girl
who was on a field trip in his courtroom and
she kept falling asleep. So because she kept falling asleep
on a field trip, this fool Judge King of King
(00:31):
ordered her to wear jail clothes and handcuffs for no
reason at all.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Okay, have we played the original news report for maybe
S seven New York. Please, one day.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You'll learn about my courtroom.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Is that I'm not I'm not gonna be played with.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
What started out as an informational field trip with the
greeting of Detroit Nonprofit Tuesday to the thirty six District
Court in front of Judge King quickly turned into Judge
King getting visibly agitated over a sleeping student in his courtroom.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Court from home more time and putting me in the
back instead.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Judge King had her removed from the courtroom, but he
told me that didn't fix her quote attitude, and that's
when he pulled out the jail uniform and handcuffs. King
says he was trying to teach the teenager a lesson
on behavior and respect in court.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I haven't been disrespected like that in a very long time, hope.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
He then threatened the girl with jail time.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
While you're sitting in a juvenile attention to was I
really gonna do that? Probably not? Could I have? Probably so?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Legendary sucker status, Judge Kenneth King, fragile ego disrespected.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You got disrespected because she was tired? What you mad for?
Leed would love not fearful?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yesterday I said, this man showed no empathy for this
sixteen year old young lady. If she kept falling asleep
in court, clearly something is wrong. Instead of jumping to
she's not respecting me and she needs to know this
is nothing to play with, This is not a joke.
Instead of jumping to all that, how about find out
what's wrong? Showed some compassion, some concern, and I said
yesterday that we don't don't know what this young lady
is dealing with. The example I gave was she might
(02:03):
be the oldest sibling who had to stay up all
night watching her younger siblings because her mom, who was
a single parent, had to work all night.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's the example I gave.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well guess what her mother, Littory Till drop on the
clues bonds for Lotory Tale, who was extremely distraught and
rightfully so. She gave a statement to ABC seven and
spoke to why her daughter kept falling falling asleep in court.
Let's listen.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That mom says she was horrified to see her daughter
in handcuffs and says Judge King didn't have the full story.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Would you want someone to treat your child like that?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Would you even treat your child like that if he
fell asleep in the courtroom.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Littoria Hill is a single mother of two children, including
her oldest daughter, Eva Goodman. She signed her up for
a summer program with the Greening of Detroit nonprofit to
keep her busy. What was supposed to be an educational
field trip to thirty six District Court Tuesday turned into
a traumatizing experience for both of them. Judge Kenneth King,
(02:59):
not liking Eva's attitude and seeing her falling asleep, placing
her in handcuffs and a jail uniform. Victoria says Eva
was falling asleep because the family does not have a
permanent residence at the moment. They're just trying to make
ends meet.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I'm a single mother.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I'm trying my best. So the fact that he was
talking about you go home and get in your bed,
how do you know my baby got a home. How
do you know my baby got a bed, her own
bed that she can sleep bed. She don't have that
right now.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Line, Judge Kine King up for the fade man. Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
If it's one thing people in this country going to do,
it's criminalize poverty in blackness.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
All right.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Single mother didn't have a place to stay, and mother
doing her best, trying to do her best for her daughter.
That's why this situation pisses me off, because Judge King
of King is black.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Okay, this young girl is black.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
How you don't see your daughter in this young girl,
your niece, your little sister. I just don't understand how
humans don't recognize the humanity in other people.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
As soon as I heard this story, I said to myself,
there's no way in hell that young girl was falling
asleep over and over for no reason. Then this judge
the nerve to say he wants to mentor the young girl,
and he reached out to the family. Nah, broh, Like
I said yesterday, why would she want you as a
mentor when you have already shown you don't care about
what she may be going through?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Now. I also said.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yesterday that this should be consequences, the repercussions for the trauma.
Judge Kenneth King called this young lady. I don't know,
you know what that would look like. You know, I
don't know if he would be suspended without pay, removed
from the bench. I don't know what discipline would look
like in this situation. I actually want the young lady's
family to suit. They should be compensated. Okay, Judge Kennop
King should be disciplined and this young lady should be compensated.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, one of those things has happened.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Judge Kinol King has been removed from the bench. Let's
go back to ABC seven for the report.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Please we begin tonight with the Detroit judge off the
bench after sparking outrage across the country.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Seven News Detroit broke that story that led to the
removal of Judge Kenneth King, the team he punished for
falling asleep in his courtroom during a field trip ended
up in handcuffs and jail clothes.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, tonight, her mom is speaking out about the action
taken against the judge and the impact of all this
on her daughter.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
So now Judge King is temporarily removed from the docket,
and that teenager's mom says it's the first step in
their own sense of justice.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Don't play with an upset mother because you told my
daughter don't play with you in your courtroom, and so
you can't play with the citizens of Detroit and an
upset mother.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Detroit police also do confirm that Judge King has been
receiving death threats and they are investigating in Detroit. I'm
Rudelsnaida seven News, Detroit.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Man dropping the clues bombs for that man being removed.
They're good they might have a case. Then they definitely
got a case.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Mental distress or emotional distress stress? Yes, he needs to
be removed.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Okay, if your ego is that fragile at a young
woman falling asleep in your courtroom on a field trip
causes you to put her in handcuffs and jail clothes,
and you.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Don't need to be a judge.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I also don't understand how he was able to do
that when this young lady didn't even commit.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Any kind of crime. He had the nerve to say
I wanted.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I wanted just to look and feel very real to her,
even though there's probably no real chance of me getting
no real chance of me putting her in jail. Okay,
Judge Kneth King will continue to get paid while he
is off the bench. I don't think he should get paid.
I think that he should be removed without pay, because
I want this removal from the bench to feel very
real to him, even though there's probably no real chance
(06:21):
in him getting fired. Listen, the moral of the story
is empathy is the most essential quality of civilization. And
Judge kinof King, you are moving quite uncivilized. Please give
Judge Keneth King the biggest he haul again, give him
the biggest.
Speaker 5 (06:40):

up a goal for me because you know, it pains
me to hear when she said the judge told her
I'm gonna sleep good in my bed tonight, and she

to sleep in.
