Gavin Newsom attacks federal judge overseeing California's assault weapons ban: 'This sickens me'
Fox News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom lashed out against San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez on Twitter after the judge handcuffed a defendant's daughter in court to scare her.
"Judge Benitez on full display. THIS is the man who is deciding the fate of CA's assault weapons ban. A man that will handcuff innocent kids in a courtroom for the sake of humiliation. I'm the dad of a 13-year-old daughter – this sickens me."
The outlet details a moment during a Feb. 13 hearing where Benitez told a U.S. Marshal to handcuff the 13-year-old daughter of a defendant who was in court to decide probation revocation following five years in prison and five years of supervised release on a drug conspiracy charge.
