Practice Pointer: Don’t be a jerk off
As the Professional Responsibility experts at the Above the Law teach us, if you make a masturbatory gesture to a judge, you’re only screwing yourself.
Their lawyer of the day is Adam Reposa.
Adam Reposa, 33, was held in contempt of court by County-Court-at-Law Judge Jan Breland for his “intentional and contumacious conduct during the court’s review of the plea bargain offer to his client before jury trial.”
Reposa, who could not be reached for comment, “made a simulated masturbatory gesture with his hand while making eye contact with the court in response to an objection by the state to his interference with the court plea bargain inquiry,” Breland wrote in a judgment of criminal contempt of court filed March 11.
