Detroit Judge Demoted After Handcuffing Teen During Field Trip

Judge Kenneth King now handles traffic cases following controversial incident with 15-year-old Eva Goodman.

Judge Kenneth King was temporarily removed from the bench after ordering a teenage girl into jail clothes and handcuffs during a field trip.
The incident occurred when 15-year-old Eva Goodman fell asleep in King's courtroom, leading him to detain her and threaten juvenile detention.
King has completed social-emotional training and returned to work, but now presides over the traffic division instead of major felony cases.
Goodman's mother, Latoreya Till, has filed a federal lawsuit seeking more than $75,000 for inflicting fear and severe emotional distress.
The incident, which was livestreamed, has sparked widespread criticism and calls for King to take accountability for his actions.
