A Detroit judge threw the mother of a drunk driver out of her courtroom and into the slammer for laughing during a victim’s statement about the man her daughter killed while driving drunk last June.
Amanda Kosal, 25, was waiting to be sentenced Thursday for the crime that killed Jerome Zirker, a father of five, when her mother, Donna, and her boyfriend laughed and smiled during a victim statement from Zirker’s sister, according to WDIV Local 4 in Detroit.
Judge Qiana Lillard wasn’t having any of it and ordered the boyfriend out of the room, calling him a “clown.”
“It’s time for him to go … Whoever can sit here at a tragic moment like this and laugh and smile when somebody has lost a family member, I mean the entire time that Mr. Zirker’s sister was speaking, that clown, and that’s what I am going to call him, a clown, was sitting there smiling and laughing,” the enraged judge spat at the unruly audience member.
Donna followed her beau out of the courtroom and Lillard said, “You can go too because if you don’t know how to act, you can go to jail, so leave.”
Shortly after, Donna was brought back in and exchanged words with the judge, who sentenced her to 93 days in jail for contempt of court.
