COMMANS v. DUNBAR
Syllabus
Can a court hold a person in criminal contempt for providing a vulgar email address with a coded insult to the prosecutor during a virtual arraignment hearing? Can a court hold a person in contempt summarily without providing the person an opportunity to be heard for the person's in-court conduct if that conduct went unnoticed until after the court proceeding?
