This incident follows Judge Kenneth King&#8217;s decision to target 15-year-old Eva Goodman after she fell asleep and exhibited what he deemed an inappropriate attitude during her visit to the 36th District Court on August 13th. Last week, King was suspended from his courtroom duties until he completes training that has yet to begin. The lawsuit describes his actions as &#8220;extreme and outrageous,&#8221; intended to instill fear and cause significant emotional distress, seeking damages exceeding $75,000. Goodman was on the field trip organized by The Greening of Detroit when she dozed off; her mother later suggested that fatigue might have been due to their lack of a permanent home.<\/p>\n<p>King attributed the decision to put her in jail attire and handcuffs\u2014actions that were streamed live\u2014to her attitude. He also threatened her with juvenile detention in front of her classmates before ultimately releasing her. According to attorneys Gary Felty Jr. and James Harrington, King took on multiple roles including producer, broadcaster, complainant, arresting officer, fact-finder, judge, and disciplinarian in this situation. A request for comment from King&#8217;s attorney went unanswered on Wednesday. In an interview last week with a TV station, King stated he wanted the experience to feel very real for Goodman despite having no genuine intention of incarcerating her. Goodman&#8217;s mother referred to the judge as a &#8220;big bully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2328727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/b5770743e6be4c2a869a990509523d61-2-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38877,38876,5387,4585,38878],"class_list":["post-2328726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-courtroom-field-trip","tag-emotional-distress","tag-judge","tag-lawsuit","tag-teen-anxiety"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/b5770743e6be4c2a869a990509523d61-2-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2328726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2328727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2328726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2328726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2328726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
