"I have the P****, So I Make the Rules" T-Shirt Offends Judge in Lake County, CA
Advertisements [?]
Lake county occasionally has interesting news.



Jennifer LaPenta did not even have to be in court the day she was held in contempt and jailed. The 20-year-old woman had left the gym and accompanied a friend to court when the judge spotted her t-shirt and flipped.

The shirt, which read "I have the p***y, so I make the rules," was apparently too offensive for Lake County Judge Helen Rozenberg, who "singled her out from the gallery and charged her with contempt of court" in early May, the Lake County News Sun reported.

LaPenta, who said she did not have time to change out of what she wore to the gym when she joined her friend in court, had to serve a 48-hour jail sentence for wearing the "offensive" t-shirt.

On Monday, Attorney Peter Kalagis asked Judge Rozenberg to clear LaPenta's record of the t-shirt charge, but the judge refused. Kalagis told the Chicago Tribune he plans to appeal.
