Oh neat, I didn't realize they were considered two different things. I suppose I had this kind of "contempt" in mind when I posted my previous comment:That's for direct contempt, when you commit contempt actually in the presence of the court and the judge witnesses it. That would actually be separate from what he's looking at in the Order to Show Cause, which is indirect contempt, i.e. violating a court order but not right in front of the judge.
That's the thing you see where someone tells the judge to go fuck himself and gets hauled right out by the bailiffs.
Also, the judge in this clip is a fucking legend for instructing the jury not to hold the guy's ongoing outbursts against him even as he continued screaming from a "private" room behind the courtroom proper.
