MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A man has talked himself into nearly two years in jail after threatening to kill a Shelby County criminal court judge. Joshua Beadle has been held in contempt and sentenced to 10 days per word after a judge ordered him to stop the threatening comments.

 

Judge Lee Coffee stopped counting at 70 words and sentenced Beadle to 700 days in jail.

 

Beadle was shackled and outfitted in a special hooded spit mask during the hearing Monday after spitting at the judge at a hearing in January. Beadle missed the judge and instead hit a clerk's computer.

 

Through his nylon-and-mesh spit mask, he apologized to the clerk on Monday and assured her that his intended target was the judge.

 

Beadle was appearing in court on burglary and rape charges.

 

This guy needs to be locked up for a long, long time.......

I love creative judges.

 

Rapists, on the other hand, should be left to rot.

 

And I take it the clerk was a chick.

I love that type of sentencing. It is good to know that the person will get his. I applaud the judge for such creativity.
