A disrespectful woman got an unexpected consequence while she was in the courtroom of a no-nonsense Michigan judge. She thought it would be a good idea to laugh while the judge was preparing to hand down a sentence for a fatality caused by drinking and driving – and that’s about the time the judge wiped the grin off the woman’s face.
Amanda Kosal, 25, killed Jerome Zirker while she was driving drunk. She was awaiting sentencing when Judge Qiana Lillard threw her mother, Donna Kosal, and her mother’s boyfriend out of the courtroom, calling them “clowns” after noticing their reaction as the victim’s sister gave a statement to the court. The judge completely lost her patience after she caught Donna and her boyfriend smirking.
Judge Lillard said Donna and the unidentified boyfriend were acting disrespectfully in her courtroom. “It’s time for him to go,” Judge Lillard said. “And I don’t know who he is, but whoever can sit here at a tragic moment like this and laugh and smile when somebody has lost a family member… in the entire time that Mr. Zirker’s sister was speaking that clown, and that’s what I am going to call him, a clown, was sitting there smiling and laughing.”
A bailiff escorted the man from the courtroom, and Judge Lillard became particularly irritated by Donna. “You can go too because if you don’t know how to act, you can go to jail, so leave,” the fed-up judge said. After a brief moment, Judge Lillard brought Donna back in. They exchanged a few words, and the judge motioned for the bailiffs to take Donna to jail.
“Take her, she’s going in the back,” the judge said to the bailiffs. “Anybody else wanna go? You can go, too.” Donna said something off-camera about the judge’s mouth, to which the judge replied, “Oh, my mouth? Well, thank you, your mouth got you 93 days.”
