The star of the nationally syndicated television show “Judge Joe Brown” spent three hours in jail recently after being held in contempt of court for repeatedly challenging a Tennessee Juvenile Court magistrate’s authority while he was representing a woman appearing before the magistrate in a child support hearing. So reports USA Today.
Brown is scheduled to challenge the contempt charges at a hearing on April 4. Some have voiced the opinion that Brown, whose show was cancelled last year and who is now running for district attorney general in Tennessee's largest county, may have staged the Juvenile Court outburst in an attempt to gain publicity for his campaign.
