Jailed for yawning: Judge responsible orders man released

• Chicago Tribune
Judge Daniel Rozak, who according to court records has in the past typically accepted an apology before releasing people jailed on contempt charges, instead delivered a short lecture to Clifton Williams, 33, who stood before the bench in shackles.

"I just first of all want to make it clear: You were never in custody for yawning, you never were," Rozak said. "It was a sound ... that was offensive to the court."

Rozak realized he had gone way too far and was backpedaling to save his worthless ass.  This is an obvious case of a small-minded psychopath whose judicial power has made him crazy. He should be removed from the bench with all haste.
