A man named Mathew Bartlett was just arrested during the Casey Anthony trial for flipping off a lawyer on the prosecution in open court. He has to spend a total of 6 days in jail, a fine of $400 and plus court fees of $233, he has to pay $633. Before everyone walked in, they were told by a sign and deputies not to make rude or affectionate gestures of any sort to any extent (middle finger included). What do you think about this? He shouldn't be charged the $633 and should've just gotten a slap on the wrist, or was the punishment fair?
I think it was fair because he was warned, twice not to make rude gestures like that and decided to flip off the lawyer. Things like that shouldn't be in court.
