Penelope Soto Flips Off Judge In Court Miami

Rule #1 when making a court appearance, do NOT flip off the judge. It seems Penelope Soto, a teenager from Miami, had never heard of this rule or considered it’s consequences when she appeared before a judge on illegal possession of Xanax pills. She was giggly, mouthy and she flipped the judge the bird after her bail was set.

The judge asks Penelope if she is working and how much she makes per week. She answers. He then asks if she has any property of value. She says she has lots of jewelry. He asks how much it’s worth, she replies, “I own a lot of jewelry alright. As well as a car.” The judge then quizzes her on it’s worth. “How much would you say your jewelry is worth?” She laughs nervously, cupping her hands together.

“It’s not a joke, we’re not in a club, be serious about it,” he warns her. She apologizes and begins stroking her hair frantically. The judge continues, “It’s alright, so how much is your jewelry worth?”

“It’s worth a lot of money,” she says again. ”Like what?” he prods. ”Like, rickroll!” she laughs again. ”Ma’am, have you had any kind of drugs in the past 24 hours?” he asks as she makes a weird face.

He tells her she can appoint her own private attorney with all the jewelry she claims to have. He then sets her bail at $5,000.

“Bye, bye!” he waves at her to leave. ”Adios!” she says and happily turns to leave.

“Come back!” he calls to her. She smiles and returns. He then sets her bail at $10,000. Penelope Soto’s jaw drops. “Are you serious?!” she calls out. “I am serious. Adios!” He cues her to leave again. You can hear people in the courtroom yelling, “Adios!” to her. She flips him off on her way out.

“Come back again!” he call to her again, losing his cool. The courtroom is up in arms. He holds Penelope in criminal contempt and sentences her to 30 days in jail.

Enjoy your stay, Penelope!

Ugh. On the one hand, “Adios” is how you say goodbye, if Spanish is your first language (Miami/last name Soto). But, she was clearly speaking English. So, yeah…that sounded flippant. Maybe she had nervous giggles. If I broke the law, and had to be in front of people, humiliated by my lack of good judgement, I suppose it’s possible that I’d continue on track to that train wreck of bad judgement in my desperate nervousness. But, wow. Really?! Bonus points for bad form by adding gestures … was that in case the judge couldn’t hear her? Eeesh. Sad display. I hope she gets some serious guidance. Not sure she will find it in her 30-days in jail though. (If only teenagers could somehow get those frontal lobes to develop
sooner. We’d all be better off.)

Man!!! What a Dam Son-Of-A-Bitch!!!! No wonder people are getting to have no respect for the Bench!!! Such a BLATANT case of JUDICIAL MIS-CONDUCT!!! Give a BASTARD a ROBE and he thinks he can run rough shod over kids that are not represented by legal counsel!!! I wish I was a LAWYER in FLORIDA I would file a LAWSUIT against this BASTARD and take this kids case “PRO-BONO” just to get this “Sh– A–” off the BENCH and cost him some money!!! He needs to spend 6 months at hard labor behind bars with Florida’s most hardened criminals to get his head out of his A–!! He does not belong on the bench – what a disgusting piece of sh– he displays!!! Even I don’t have any respect for him as a law abiding citizen with 14 members of my immediate famlly in law enforcement!!! The bastard showed disrespect for the robe he wore – instigating a response, needling a kid who evidently had been incarcerated for 24, 48, hours or more with probably no money so where would she get drugs? She was just nervous a giggly kid in court as most should be nervous. Who do I think showed the most maturity? It sure the HELL wasn’t the acting like 5 to 6 year old judge stinking up the courtroom!!!

I agree he should be fired. She was being very nice and truthfully answering is questions in her very first court appearance. He had no reason what so ever to call her back the first time just because she nicely said adios and he slaps her by doubling her bond. He was that stupid to repeat what her jewelry was worth and she answered the best she could. Jewelry is only worth what the buyer willing to pay for it. How could she give a price on material objects that she had a lot of which she answered.

Sorry I don’t get your reaction. The judges’ reaction was not sooooo out of order. You know people make too many excuses for young people. It does not take a very smart person to conduct themselves orderly in a court room. In fact, its common knownledge to be on your best behavior which she wasn’t. You expect the judge to wait for her to act properly…. remember in this case she’s the criminal… he could have set a better example but I can see why he didn’t. Her behavior dicated the treatment she got. Respect goes both ways and if you go to court, you better respect the bench if you expect anything to go in your favor.

She said she has jewelry like Rick Ross, the Florida rapper, not “rickroll”
