Attorneys representing a teenager have filed a lawsuit against a Detroit judge for alleged humiliation, false arrest, and unlawful detention. The incident occurred during a field trip to 36th District Court, where the teenager, identified as Eva Goodman, was ordered into jail clothes and handcuffs by Judge Kenneth King.
The lawsuit claims that Judge King's actions were extreme and calculated to inflict fear and severe emotional distress on the 15-year-old. The judge had singled out Goodman for falling asleep and displaying what he deemed to be a bad attitude during the court visit on August 13.
