    I think this is a case of “I know you’re going to appeal and say I was bias. They’re going to look at how much I let you do and get away with and laugh in your face.” I think she’s playing the long game.

      Couldn’t anyone else that was held in contempt for doing the same shit down the road use this in their appeal though?

        Not directly. Judges have significant discretion over their courtroom decorum and procedure.

        If the judges decisions on stuff like this are reasonable, they are upheld, even if it’s applied diametrically to two identical litigants.

      I dunno, giving special treatment to certain defendants doesn’t seem like “the long game” to me.
