MEMPHIS, Tennessee-Television show "Judge Joe Brown" has been  arrested and charged with five counts of contempt of court in Memphis Tennessee, retaliation, his supporters say, for his bid as a Black Democrat seeking a primary win to run against a White Republican for Shelby County district attorney.
Shelby County Juvenile Court officials said the 66-year-old Brown was sentenced to five days in jail for contempt after allegedly causing an outburst.
Magistrate Judge Harold "Hal" Horne charged the former TV judge with contempt of court.
Brown, whose  nationally syndicated TV show was canceled last year, was representing a woman in a child support case. 
The former TV judge, who is also a former municipal court judge out of Memphis, is accused of yelling and repeatedly challenging the magistrate's authority in the case and even addressing his comments to a crowd of people inside the courtroom. 
But some political pundits say the arrest is politically motivated and that the magistrate could have simply removed Brown from his courtroom. 

At issue was an attempt to embarrass Brown,who is Black, some say.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.was jailed for speaking out, Brown supporters said after the incident. (www.clevelandurbannews.com) / (www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com)

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
