US Judge suspended for handcuffing sleeping girl during court field trip

A 15-year-old girl was punished by Judge Kenneth King for falling asleep during a field trip to his courtroom. King ordered the girl to wear handcuffs and a prison uniform, stating that he wanted her to "look and feel very real" to her. The girl's mother said she was tired due to not having a permanent residence. King has been temporarily removed from his criminal case docket and will undergo "necessary training". The incident has sparked an internal investigation, with Judge William McConico stating that it was conducted "swift and thoroughly".
