I was pretty chuffed about that $1000 ask, but it turns out that that’s the maximum fine allowed for contempt of court in a criminal trial in New York.
Beyond that, there’s either exclusion from the courtroom (and no judge wants to exclude a defendant from the courtroom) or detention up to thirty days.
No, only you have unlimited strikes when it comes to the law. You threaten another person 483 more times, and we might fine you $1000.
If you threaten the family members of a federal judge a few dozen more times we will slowly start to count down from 5.
