Man throws egg at judge during child support hearing
[I do not know what this man was thinking. From what he did, I can tell you that he has scrambled eggs for brains. Judge McJoynt is one of the nicest, most reasonable and fair judges you will ever meet. I cannot understand what possesses a person to pull off a stunt like this. People cease to amaze me.]
