Detroit Teen Sues Judge Over Courtroom Incident
News summary

A 15-year-old girl, Eva Goodman, has filed a federal lawsuit against Detroit Judge Kenneth King after he ordered her handcuffed and placed in a jail uniform for falling asleep during a courtroom field trip. The lawsuit claims King violated her civil rights by overstepping his authority, yelling at her, and threatening jail time, actions described as excessive and humiliating. Goodman's mother, Latoreya Till, expressed the emotional toll on her daughter, emphasizing the need for accountability and a public apology from the judge. The incident occurred during a visit intended to educate students about the judicial process, but it ended in trauma for Goodman, who has been struggling with challenging living conditions. Following the backlash, Judge King has been temporarily removed from his position and is undergoing mandatory training. The case highlights broader concerns about the treatment of minors in the judicial system and the appropriateness of punitive measures against vulnerable youth.
