I know the Beast has to get the clicks, but I grow so tired of headlines creatively using words to titillate, obfuscate, or misdirect. A judge is not majorly escalating anything by finding an attorney in contempt to get them to comply with a court order. Obviously, Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin, it’s not your fault and I appreciate the link and excerpts.
