In reply to the discussion: ***BREAKING***TFG ignores judge's order and attacks the star witness [View all]ExWhoDoesntCare
(4,741 posts)86. Can't appeal procedural matters
And he won't win a contempt appeal.
One of the things judges at every level cannot abide is anyone who demonstrates contempt for the court. They will not look kindly on an appeal over a contempt charge. That's why it would take an egregious failure on Chutkin's part for him to win such an appeal. We're talking insulting him with slurs in court, sentencing him to a cruel and unusual punishment for the charge against him--that sort of thing.
They will never rule against a judge levying a contempt charge who behaves in a professional mannerand makes a fair call about his behavior.
