Judge Kenneth King of Detroit's 36th District Court has been temporarily removed from his criminal docket and will undergo necessary training after handcuffing 15-year-old Eva Goodman, who fell asleep during a court field trip. Chief Judge William McConico confirmed the suspension, emphasizing the court's commitment to justice free from intimidation. The incident, widely criticized and captured on video, involved King ordering Goodman to wear jail clothes and threatening her with juvenile detention. Goodman's mother, Latoreya Till, described King as a 'big bully,' noting their lack of permanent housing contributed to her daughter's exhaustion. King defended his actions, stating he intended to teach Goodman a lesson about courtroom conduct.
