Detroit Judge Demoted Over Handcuffing Teen

Detroit Judge Kenneth King has been demoted to handling traffic cases after ordering 15-year-old Eva Goodman to be handcuffed and dressed in jail clothes for falling asleep during a school trip to his courtroom. The incident, which was live-streamed, led to King's suspension in August and a requirement for him to undergo social-emotional training. Goodman's mother, Latoreya Till, has filed a lawsuit against King, seeking over $75,000 for inflicting severe emotional distress on her daughter, who suffers from homelessness. Chief Judge William McConico expressed support for King's transition to his new role, while King's lawyer emphasized his client's willingness to work in any court capacity. King has apologized for his actions.
