Woman argues with judge and ends up with 300 days in jail

ELYRIA -- Ebony Burks earned the dubious distinction earlier this month of drawing the longest jail sentence that Elyria Municipal Court Judge Gary Bennett has ever handed down for contempt of court.
Burks' 300-day stay in the Lorain County Jail came out of an Aug. 14 hearing during which she was being arraigned on domestic violence and assault charges in separate cases.
Watch the video now and read Saturday's Chronicle for more.

Just look at this from a practical standpoint: The judge told her she can't go home. She has nowhere to live. She just arranged herself a place to live.

Damn 300 days food and shelter shes lovin it!

[@CharlesHuse]

Keep talking....you'll end up a permanent resident

[@Robotic_AI_Systems]

Wow that hard to believe she just would not shut up.

[@BobJones-bp5vr]

A black woman arguing with someone in authority?? No way!!!

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Should of went with 3000 days. It would not of mattered. She would of walked out as intelligent as the day she entered.

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

I love when ignorance shines 👍👍 👌 👌 😆 😂 🤣

[@peace-yv4qd]

300 days finally shut her up.

[@jameswillis1742]

Wow well, her mouth got her a place to stay for 6 months

[@steakknives]

I wish she would have just kept going. This person clearly doesn't understand the whole "living in society" thing.

[@alphamale3713]

[@nakedinthe818]

[@virgilrw]

[@jablanovicmilos]

[@gogooshttrflshr6335]

She might not be as out of control as you might think. She can't go home, so she needs a place to stay.

Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns

[@entropylackthereforeofmmm6119]

I knew it would be a bt1000

[@bobojr456]

I mean she solved her homeless problem so...looks like a win-win except for the tax payer. Btw, can you collect welfare if you are in jail?

[@TheMjphoto45]

Made my day

[@BackSeatHump]

Don't play with that judege I'm here to tell you this afternoon!

[@christopherfloria4142]

Awesome!!!

[@nancydaniel707]

Fixing her hair, lol

[@drsch]

I'm sorry, but that was a horrible way to handle that. Does this Judge have no professionalism at all? He clearly got angry and let his emotions get the best of him. I'm not impressed.

[@dougwebb6193]

That judge lost it and cost the taxpayers a lot of money. Not cool!

[@teachone2261]

hey keep talking its FREE ROOM AND BOARD !! THAT IS GOOD FOR HER !

[@RuskaLover]

A year of her life for popping off at a Judge? What she did isn't right by any means, but all she did was step on his ego.

[@Mistyfgdf]

My guy out his foot down! Lol

[@jordanjohnson714]

Justice was served, just a little bit too much imo. I don't think that little argument was worth 300 days of imprisonment.

[@dawnstephenson7653]

Power hungry judge

[@sickb2200]

Hind sight. She needs glasses.

[@Webmasters-Desktop]

lol

[@obeythelaw5504]

Big man with a gavel. Put me in jail because I have the right to free speech.

[@richardingersoll29]

JUDGES EGOs

[@jackgarand7284]
