It was a guy? Damn, then I can see where people are saying the judge is going overboard. Yeah, he should be taking things more seriously, considering where he was at and why. But 30 days in jail?

That's ridiculous. He reached over and while saying good job, pats him on the backside. He didn't have a big grin on his face while doing it, or look like he was trying to get a rise out of the courtroom. Looked to me like he did it without even thinking. Something he's probably been doing since he was able to participate in team sports. This judge over reacted, then looked like she felt trapped by her reaction, and instead of just chewing his ass for his actions, went forward with abusing her power.

I could care less about Chad Johnson but this really has nothing to do with Chad Johnson. It could be Sally Smith who did this for all I care. That point remains that what the judge did was too far.

As a lawyer you have psychological insight into Chad Johnson's train of thought. Hilarious. You win.
I'm a lawyer!

Reading comprehension skills are key. I said "generally when a defendant..."

I'm claiming insight into how defendants behave, not Chad Johnson specifically (other than how he behaved in court).
Which I do have.
Now untwist your panties and admit you were wrong.

Chad Johnson to be released from 30-day jail sentence after one week
Former NFL receiver Chad Johnson, sentenced to 30 days in a Florida jail on June 10, has gained his release after apologizing to a local judge, per the Associated Press. Johnson was on the verge of a plea deal last Monday with Broward County Judge Kathleen McHugh, in which Johnson would have avoided jail time after probation violations stemming from a domestic violence charge. However, as Judge McHugh was getting ready to adjudicate the matter, Johnson playfully slapped his attorney on the backside, the Judge thought Johnson wasn't taking the matter seriously, and she sentenced him to 30 days in the slammer.
A week later, McHugh accepted Johnson's apology and released him.
When Terrell Owens, who played with Johnson in Cincinnati in 2010, went to visit his friend over the weekend, it was about as sobering as you might expect.

Just visited the homie @ochocinco. He's in good spirits, he needs a haircut already tho. Lol. He sends his best regards to everyone.
Terrell Owens @terrellowens 15 Jun
That was the 1st time ever visiting someone in jail & hopefully the last. That's not a place anyone wants to be regardless of how many days.
"I really didn't know what to expect but to see the homie locked up is a very humbling experience," Owens then tweeted. "To talk to him via vid conference let me know that's not where anyone wants to be. I know he's only in the county jail but to someone that has never been locked up...Jail is Jail!"
Owens later linked to a TMZ article in which Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi seemed to agree with those who believe that Judge McHugh overreacted.
"Although we never condone domestic violence, this event seems to question judicial temperament, not the subject matter before the court," Bondi is quoted as telling the website.
We tend to agree. Johnson may have acted outside proper court behavior, but 30 days did seem a bit excessive.

Lulz... even the DA thinks the Judge was out of line. Getting your "judicial temperament" questioned publically by the District Attorney on a matter where the Defendant was sentenced to MORE than what the DA asked for.... pretty serious abuse of discretion. The DA is usually happier the more strict the sentences are, so for the DA to speak up and question it publically you know it was bad.

I've never watched the show or heard of her prior to last summer's incident, but from what I've heard about her, Evelyn Lozada is a crazy ass hood rat. The type that will get all up in her man's face talking trash calling the man every name under the sun. Will even go so far as to push or hit the man but who will then act shocked when the man pops them in the mouth.
