News summary

Judge Kenneth King of Detroit is facing a lawsuit for detaining and humiliating 15-year-old Eva Goodman during a courtroom field trip after she fell asleep. The lawsuit, filed by Goodman and her mother, alleges violations of her civil rights, including unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, and emotional distress. King ordered Goodman to be handcuffed, changed into jail clothes, and subjected her to a mock trial, actions he defended by citing her 'bad attitude.' The incident has led to King being temporarily removed from his judicial duties and reassigned from teaching at Wayne State University. The lawsuit seeks over $75,000 in damages. King has received death threats following the incident but remains unapologetic about his actions.
