A Detroit judge who was temporarily removed after ordering a teenager into jail clothes and handcuffs during a field trip is back on the bench but assigned to speeding tickets and other relatively minor offenses.
Judge Kenneth King lost courtroom duties in August and was ordered into social-emotional training by the chief judge at 36th District Court. Instead of handling key hearings in major felonies, he returned this week to the court’s traffic division.
“We appreciate his efforts in preparing for this role, and wish him success as he transitions into this new responsibility,” Judge William McConico said in a written statement.
I’m glad they took action, and still found work he’s less likely to screw up. The courts are backed up everywhere, so the public gets the best possible result.
That is a great perspective.

Well if a different judge had to fit it them in, other cases get bumped back.
Wow, that’s a helluva take. The best possible result? lol
