If Donnie Dipshit gets kicked out of the courtroom, how does that work?

Please tell me that he still needs to be available at the courthouse.

I am thinking he doesn't get to just go home, but there will be a little conference room with a broken soda machine, no cellphone, no internet, folding chairs and just an old rotary phone on the wall, where he will have to cool his heels.

If not, then why wouldn't every criminal defendant, in every criminal case, do whatever they need to do to get kicked out?

1. As near as I can figure, he would bounce a couple of times, then slowly ooze into a rancid puddle of orange goo.

2. It's criminal court. You go where the judge tells you to go.

You can sit in your chair.

Or you can sit on the bench in the cell we have downstairs.

In this courthouse, there are jail cells where the judge can place an acting out
defendant until he cools down.

This was said by former Chief Assistant District Attorney of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office,
Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

6. Courts usually have a dock with jail cells to hold people. That would be where he get to spend the rest of his day

If he's lucky the judge won't send him to the local jail at 5:00pm.

the judge has him on a short leash. He likely won't get a second warning.

He will get a timeout next. As mentioned, the court has holding cells and interview rooms they can toss him into.

chair around so he can’t see the potential jurors. Better yet put solar eclipse glasses on him and tell him if he touches them he will go to a holding cell.😊
