Detroit Judge Kenneth King has been temporarily removed from the bench and ordered to undergo training after controversially making a 15-year-old girl, Eva Goodman, wear handcuffs and a prison uniform for falling asleep during a courtroom field trip. The incident, which took place during a visit organized by the nonprofit Greening of Detroit, drew criticism for King’s harsh treatment, with the organization stating his methods were unacceptable. Chief Judge William McConico emphasized the court's commitment to a respectful environment and acknowledged that King's actions did not reflect this principle. Eva's mother expressed her daughter's emotional distress from the incident, attributing her sleepiness to their unstable housing situation. King defended his actions by claiming he aimed to instill respect for the courtroom, stating it was not just her sleeping but her overall attitude that prompted his response. The situation has sparked discussions about appropriate disciplinary measures within educational settings and the judiciary's obligations to youth.
