I don't understand why a judge is so special that they can assign a person jailtime/fines for a non-criminal act. Some people are assholes, deal with it like everyone else in the world does. You're job is to determine if a person was guilty of a crime and to ensure the punishment is warranted. A judge should be able to decrease a punishment, but never increase past it's statutory limit or make up a bogus charge. The appropriate way for this to have played out is, "Miss, I was considering reducing your punishment, but your disregard for common courtesy and respect has led me to sustain your current punishment. Thank you for your time. Next case please."
