Detroit Judge Removed From Duties After Handcuffing And Shaming Sleeping 15-Year-Old Girl In Court

A Detroit judge has been temporarily removed from his duties after an incident in which he forced a 15-yearold girl to wear handcuffs and a jail uniform for allegedly falling asleep during a field trip to his courtroom. Judge Kenneth King of the 36th District Court took this action after stating that he did not like the girl’s “attitude” and wanted to teach her “how you are to conduct yourself in a courtroom.”

The teenager, Eva Goodman, was visiting the court as part of an educational trip organized by the environmental charity The Greening. The incident has sparked outrage and led to an internal investigation by the court. Chief Judge William McConico announced that Judge King would be temporarily removed from his cases and required to undergo “necessary training.”

Video footage from the court shows Judge King addressing Eva and her mother, stating, “One thing you’ll learn about my courtroom is that I’m not a toy. I am not to be played with.” He then asked other visitors on the trip to vote on whether Eva should be sent to a juvenile detention center, before ultimately deciding to have her handcuffed and dressed in a jail outfit as a lesson.

Eva’s mother, Latoreya Hill, expressed her dismay at the judge’s actions, saying, “Would you want someone to treat your child like that?” Judge King defended his decisions, maintaining that his actions were intended to deliver a strong message to the girl and others present. However, the controversy surrounding the incident has prompted the court to take swift action to ensure that such situations are handled appropriately in the future.
