Contempt order
I have a defendant who was sentenced to a TDCJ sentence for Arson and Agg. Assault the other day, and during the court proceedings (after sentencing), the defendant yelled at the victim -- twice -- after being warned not to, and the judge found him to be in contempt of court and sentenced him to 180 days. Does anyone have a contempt order? Other question: the judge ordered the 180 days to run consecutive to his TDCJ sentence. Can he do that?
