A Hamilton County Municipal Court judge today apologized for an obscenity-laced exchange with a defendant in his courtroom.
The blowup happened Tuesday, when Judge Ted Berry sentenced Ivan Boykins on a marijuana charge. Judge Berry was prepared to give Boykins probation, but Boykins apparently told the judge he didn't want that sentence and that he planned to continue to smoke pot. Judge Berry then gave Boykins 30 days in jail.
On his way out of the courtroom, Boykins said to the judge, "F*** you b*****. Judge Berry replied "F*** you too."
Today, in a written statement, Judge Berry apologized, saying Boykins’ comments had gotten under his skin and that he regretted his actions.
Here is the full text of Judge Berry's apology.
