Detroit Judge Kenneth King has been temporarily removed from his position after ordering a 15-year-old girl, Eva Goodman, to wear jail clothes and handcuffs during a field trip to his courtroom. The incident occurred when Eva fell asleep, prompting King to express his discontent with her 'attitude', stating he wanted to convey the seriousness of courtroom conduct. Chief Judge William McConico announced that King will undergo necessary training following an internal investigation, emphasizing the court's commitment to a respectful environment. Eva's mother criticized King's actions, describing them as bullying and highlighting her daughter's difficult living situation. Numerous sources, including The Greening of Detroit, expressed that King's methods were unacceptable and should have involved less humiliation. Despite the controversy, Judge King indicated a desire to mentor Eva and improve her understanding of courtroom decorum.
