Detroit judge scolds student during courtroom field trip, places her in handcuffs, jail uniform
When a student visiting the 36th District Court for a field trip started sleeping and talking back to Judge Kenneth King, he placed her in handcuffs, a jail uniform and threatened her with jail time.

DETROIT (WXYZ) — A Detroit nonprofit hosted a field trip at the 36th District Court so students could learn about the legal system, when a sleeping teenager during the visit ended up in a jail uniform, handcuffs and in front of Judge Kenneth King because of her “attitude” inside his courtroom.
On Tuesday, children part of a three-week program with the nonprofit The Greening of Detroit were taken to 36th District Court for a field trip. Other field trips in the program include kayaking and watching birds. However, this was an opportunity for students to watch a real trial play out and speak to a judge.
Before the defense and prosecution even entered the court, King addressed the students and answered their questions. He then noticed a 16-year-old girl dozing off.
Being tired is "attitude" now?
