Judge slams door over tardy public defender
In Pittsburgh a Allegheny County judge Donald Machen struck the courtroom door in anger after an assistant public defender arrived an hour late for a hearing. Machen previously jailed a man for profanity and slamming a door, and the 1996 case involving Michael Weidler led to a 1997 Superior Court reversal.
