Alright here's what I have for you guys for now:
Kurt was initially refusing to sit at the defense table when Burke came in and ordered so. Burke says "We're going to go on a recess, and I'm going to give you time to reconsider. You are ordered not to leave the courtroom." He then left the courtroom and went to the bathroom, and came back, and Burke resumed with Kurt:
Kurt and Burke (audio file)For those that don't want to or can't listen to the file, Burke found Kurt in contempt for interfering with the procedure of the court, and offered to let him "answer for himself." Kurt continued his behavior and Burke then said "I'll take that as you waiving your right to answer. You are sentenced to 180 days in the house of corrections."
When approached by police, Kurt briefly stood up and then went to the floor. Officers and bailiffs forced everyone out except Auburn and Ian with his camera for some reason. I wish I'd just remained seated quietly in the courtroom as I had been. Kurt was then handcuffed and put in a rolly-chair and taken to the next room over. Ian was not allowed in there but Auburn was.
Kurt asked to be unhandcuffed to hug his wife goodbye for 180 days, and Lance would not comply. Kurt then tried some acrobatics to get his hands in front of him, and Lance called Eli Rivera in for backup. At which time Eli began forcing Kurt around.
Kurt Pushed Around (audio file)(sorry. I probably shouldn't have been arguing with the bailiff when I'm trying to record.)Apparently Kurt somehow got to his feet and he and Eli did some sort of dance around the table before Eli eventually pushed him down. An ambulance was called and Kurt was taken out on a stretcher. Meanwhile, we are being forced away for fears we are going to take pictures of him. He is reported released from the hospital and at Westmoreland now.
