Missouri lawyer gets week in jail for cursing out judge

A Missouri lawyer was ordered to spend a week in jail for cursing out a judge during a hearing, according to a report.

Eugene H. Fahrenkrog Jr., a medical malpractice attorney for Sumner Law Group in Clayton, was charged with criminal contempt for his outburst Wednesday to St. Louis County Circuit Judge John Borbonus, whom he told, “f–k you,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. “Said behavior was willfully and intentionally committed, contemptuous, insolent and directly tended to interrupt proceedings of this Court and to impair the respect due its authority,” a warrant issued by Borbonus read.
