After a trial for indirect criminal contempt you have a right of allocution at sentencing time. In none of the other 3 types of contempt (indirect civil, direct civil, and direct criminal) do you have such a right. PO Bob,

I don’t agree with you. After a trial for indirect criminal contempt you have a right of allocution at sentencing time. In none of the other 3 types of contempt (indirect civil, direct civil, and direct criminal) do you have such a right.

Just like folks in civil contempt, they have the keys to the jailhouse door, also, as a later apology will always free them, as it did this guy.

The bailiff got him to remove his hat. The judge got tired of the smacking, stopped what he was doing and told the person, who was observing sentencing hearing, to take the gum out of his mouth in the courtroom. The guy then stood up and shouted that he had "A Constitutional right to chew gum". He got three days in jail for contempt. I just wanted to get the hell out of the courtroom before I got appointed to represent him.
