• rejecting the application of Argersinger to contempt proceeding initially resulting in incarceration “where the party is an experienced trial attorney” and jail sentence had been vacated by appellate court
• “The provision for de novo appellate review of summary contempt convictions is a fail-safe mechanism for assuring that the contempt power is not abused.”
• “The need for reliability was heightened in this case, because the [contem-nor’s] objectionable conduct was nonverbal, and the record does not so easily lend itself to validating the judge’s factual findings.”
