Defendant's mouth TAPED SHUT in court after he refused to stop talking.
A judge ordered a defendant's mouth to be taped shut in court after he refused to stop talking during his sentencing. Franklyn Williams appeared in court with red tape over his mouth after a number of outbursts during proceedings. The 32-year-old had been convicted in December of robbery, kidnapping, theft, misuse of credit cards and having weapons under a disability. Appearing at Cuyahoga County Court in Ohio, Judge John Russo ordered his mouth to be taped after around half an hour of interruptions before taping his mouth, Judge Russo told Williams to "Zip it, right now" multiple times, before asking him "does that make sense".
Speaking about his decision to tape the defendant's mouth, Judge Russo said: "Mr Williams I know was someone who liked to speak."Each has the right to make a record with my court reporter, but we can't do it at the same time."We can't do it yelling over each other, so my intent today as always was never to silence Mr Williams he would have his time and opportunity to speak when it was appropriate."Six deputies were called in to tape Williams mouth shut. Before his trial, Williams was placed on house arrest but attempted to flee after cutting off his ankle tag. The convicted criminal then claimed he had no recollection of removing his tag and trying to escape because he'd been hit over the head. Williams was eventually sentenced to 24 years.

Dancing doctor who made rap videos during surgery
Nearly 100 women say they have suffered complications after a US dermatologist arranged to have herself filmed singing and dancing during their surgery, according to an attorney. Dr Windell Boutte posted videos to YouTube of herself dancing and singing along to music mid-operation, occasionally with assistants joining in with the dancing. The videos sometimes showed the bare skin of unconscious patients lying on the operating table while Dr Boutte danced around them. Now, attorney, Susan Witt is representing three women who are bringing lawsuits against Dr Boutte, claiming they suffered due to her unprofessional conduct after undergoing procedures in her Atlanta clinic. However, since the videos were picked up by news sites, Ms Witt says she has been contacted by many more women, nearly 100 in total, who claim to have suffered post-surgery complications after being operated on by the dermatologist. Ms Witt said: “I think in this day and age, patients do have to be their own advocate. This has been a cautionary tale which I believe patients can learn from.”At least one former patient has asserted that they can recognise themselves in a Dr Boutte video, which has since been removed from YouTube.In all, Dr Boutte uploaded more than 20 videos to the site. In one, she is dancing as she makes an incision on a patient; in another, she leans close to an unconscious patient’s partially exposed buttocks and sings that she is “building up fat in the booty”.Some of the songs Dr Boutte has been filmed dancing and singing along to often with her own made-up lyrics include “Bad and Boujee” by Migos and “Booty” by Jennifer Lopez. At least five malpractice lawsuits are currently pending against Dr Boutte, according to CNN. She has reached four settlements. In the lawsuits, former patients have claimed they suffered disfigurement, infections and even brain damage following procedures carried out by Dr Boutte in her office. According to Dr Boutte’s attorneys, she is refusing interviews. The dermatologist continues to practise medicine.
