Judge Joe Brown 5 day Prison Sentence!

Judge Joe Brown, 66, was arrested yesterday March 25, in Memphis after being held in contempt of court. Brown who was representing a client in a child support hearing challenged Magistrate Harold Horne who instructed the former TV courtroom star to stop talking five times to no avail. Brown continued to “go off the handle” stating that all they could get out of him was 10$, and that he would have the courtroom shutdown. The Judge sentenced Brown to 5 days in prison, one day for every count of contempt. But Brown was released shortly after with no bond and made a statement saying,

"I'm a little hot under the collar, but In 40 years, I've never seen such a circus as they've got down there.”

 The media as well as twitter went bananas over the story, with jokes like “Who sent Judge Joe Brown to jail? Was it Judge Judy or Judge Wapner?” but what caused even more frenzy, was the grim mug shot of Brown scowling at the camera. Which in my opinion just added to the bad publicity.

Judge Joe Brown’s television show was on air for 15 years, but was cancelled last year, and he is now running for District Attorney of Shelby County, where he was arrested in.

But this isn’t the first time Judge Joe Brown has been in the news for a rant. Last year in August the popular urban media site “World Star Hip Hop” released a video of Brown clearly drunk, on what he had no problem sharing was “a double shot of Bombay Sapphire.” In which he made the statement that “pretty girls are insecure, and easier to work with” in front of two women who he took pictures with and also told them that they were insecure, as well as saying that his wife age 50 was “somewhat insecure”, but proceeded to tell the girls that he needed a grand daughter or daughter in law like them because they were “young tender things.” Along with a few other unflattering scenes.

  It’s understandable to be a little drunk in public, but when you’re a public figure, especially if your running for District Attorney, you have to uphold your reputation and these incidents will not go unnoticed when his campaign picks up.

From the looks of things, it seems that Judge Joe Brown is on a bit of a power trip. His 15-year TV stint is over with, and now he needs to realize that he is back in the real world, and he cant just do and say whatever. His statement about pretty girls being insecure and easier to get to is a disturbing to me, from the man who’s opening said “protecting womanhood and promoting manhood”, where then does this easiness come into play and what are you doing to protect this? I’m not sure if I endorse this type of candidate to make decisions with my counties criminals, and something tells me this isn’t the last we’ll hear from Judge Joe Brown. What do you think?
