quote: Man gets extra time for mooning judge MILFORD, Conn. (AP) — A New Haven man returned to the Milford courtroom where he mooned the judge and this time he left with more prison time.
Three months after dropping his pants in front of Superior Court Judge Patrick Carroll, Richard Brown was back in the courtroom Monday for a plea agreement on a robbery.
Brown's June 23 pants dropping cost him a year in prison. He got six months for contempt of court and an extra six months that the prosecutor tacked on to the sentence offered in a plea agreement for robbery.
Brown's outburst in June began when Carroll told him to say "yes, sir" when addressing the court.
"Sir? Kiss my (expletive), sir!" Brown shouted, dropping the pants of his two-piece prison jumpsuit as he turned to expose his rear end to the bench.
According to terms of the plea agreement, Brown will be sentenced in December to 10½ years in prison for holding up the Krauszer's market in West Haven, on Dec. 11, 2003.
Browns will begin serving that sentence when he finishes his six months for contempt for the mooning the judge.

Wow it sounds from that like there's an actual law on the books prohibiting mooning of judges. I wonder how that reads, exactly? Dagonee, do you know?

It was for contempt of court, which means (among other things) showing blatant disrespect for the judge's position. Mooning him qualifies.
