A MAGISTRATE threw an apprentice painter behind bars for blowing a bubble in his court.

Magistrate Rodney Crisp charged Mirza Zukanovic, 20, with contempt and jailed him for 30 days.

The charge sheet shows that Zukanovic, who was appearing on an assault-related matter, earned Mr Crisp's wrath after he deliberately blew and popped a bubble of gum while looking at the magistrate.

However, Victoria's Supreme Court granted him bail last night after an appeal by his lawyers.

"We are extremely pleased to have him released this evening," said Zukanovic's lawyer, George Defteros.

"We are instructed to pursue his legal rights and entitlements fully."

Zukanovic, from Melbourne, had "scandalised" the court and "challenged its authority" by looking in the magistrate's direction and deliberately blowing and popping a bubble, the charge sheet said.

Why not? Is it because of the unruly nature of Nigerians?

I wonder what the people in support of this would think if they go to court and get arrested for yawning. Are the people in court now super humans or mini god that they demand so much respect and have the power to do anything to anyone that does not succumb.
