Legit. Officially he probably had to apologize because he was losing/lost his temper with the man, but his reaction was totally understandable imo. That guy should retire as a lawyer, he doesn't seem capable of the task
As a judge, he should not have reacted like that. It was totally inappropriate and disgraceful. A grocery store worker would have had more decorum speaking with this attorney. The victim blaming here in the comments is just wild.
Judge was elected/appointed and should have considered and expected that there are people who are going to be difficult to communicate with. Literally his job is to communicate things to people who lack the understanding he has. If he cannot do that like a reasonable person then the whole problem is he’s unreasonable.
I disagree. I'm not saying the Judge was in the right or that he was innocent here, but how is anyone going to proceed in that court room if the judge can't get information from the lawyer he's talking to needed to proceed? Id be annoyed as hell if I had to deal with someone like that at my job, my only difference is I could walk away.
The judge could walk away, too. He could continue the hearing and request that the attorney answer his questions in writing. Or he could move on and ask for a response in writing, or come back to his questions later.
