Sloan is a uppity, pompous,over bearing,power tripping ass/ House nizza showing
out for the man... He's the slave that's happy to eat in the kitchen when company
comes...

He's just want to keep his docket in high standings... Try to make examples out of people especially young blacks...I don't even look at him being black!! Like Ice cube said
he's a house niZZA SCUM,THIS IS HIS IDEAL OF GIVING SOMETHING BACK TOTHE PLACE THAT HE MADE IT FROM.. He has a nasty cynical disposition,Its like he has an attitude soon as he comes to court... Its no need saying anything
he gives you a chance to speak,In his mind he's already found you guilty...Nothing you say is gonna hold in a water...He'll let you speak to appease you,but his objective is"This court fines you guilty" so he can sponge off of hard working tax payers to satisfy broke *** fulton county&make his golf tee time..

He gave me a 250.00 dollar fine for the same offense he was giving people 25.00
at the max 75.00 in my prior trip to court...Hey what can we say people G.A. is money hungry in this recession...Bottom line don't go to court in FULTON&hope you don't get assign to court room C-The cops are liars,FULTON COUNTY THEY CROOKS!!!!

the judge extorted money from these people by putting them under duress all they had to is ask the judge if the contempt was civil let the judge pause if he said civil then they should have said what contract was broken the judge knows there is no contract there for the civil contempt would have been dropped if the judge said criminal then they should told the judge who has a claim against them and please show me the injured party since there is no injured party the contempt charge would have been droped next time some power tripping a hole tries this it's a nice way of saying F.U. and you go home free and clear

Joe, I think you missed the point here. It really isn't about money so much as it's about following the rules in court. Same as any other situation involving a fine. You do something wrong and get caught, you pay the price. That's the bottom line. I don't think that the court should take socio-economic status into a situation. These individuals blatantly disobeyed a rule in the courtroom and are being punished.

Would you have a sliding scale put into place where different violators of the same rule pay different fines based on their income? Does that sound fair to you?

This whole situation could have been avoided if these inconsiderate people had simply turned their phones off in a court of law. They shouldn't have to have been told. This is common sense.

I have a problem. Not with the penalty but with the choice. In other words if either man had been very poor he would be doing jail time for something that someone with money wouold get out off.

Based strictly on the story, it sounds to me like both men had reasonable explanations which should have been taken at face value and their apologies accepted. Judges are expected to use good judgment and not be petty or abusive of the authority that has been entrusted to them. It looks to me like Judge Sloan needs to be less confrontational.

I think this judge should be applauded for taking a stand against this cell phone and noise pollution that we all now have come be bombared with. NOW, if only we can get Judge Sloan to monitor the movie theaters where there is rampant abuse of cell phones, ringing, people answering and talking on them aloud during the movies, etc...and these dopes seem to think they have a constitutional right to keep a phone hanging off their butt 24/7 no matter what the setting! I say toss them to the lyons!!!
