Detroit Judge Sued for Handcuffing Teen During Courtroom Field Trip

Family alleges Judge Kenneth King violated the girl's civil rights after she fell asleep during a court visit.

The incident occurred on August 13 during a field trip organized by The Greening of Detroit.
Judge King ordered the 15-year-old to wear a prison jumpsuit and handcuffs, and held a mock trial.
The judge's actions were live-streamed, leading to public outcry and severe emotional distress for the teen.
King has been removed from his docket and is required to undergo training.
The family is seeking over $75,000 in damages for emotional and psychological impact.
