Kracker, I gotta disagree with you a bit. The "original" questions to her were answered respectfully. It is NOT a crime to laugh, either in court or in public. In fact, laughing is a known nervous response, and the kid was obviously nervous. She didn't say anything disrespectful to the judge origionally, and judging from the judges accent, he was of a spanish nationally. Adios just means goodbye... it's NOT disrespectful, and is a perfect response to a friendly "bye-bye" comment from the judge. The judge over reacted to double the bail amount. Then the girl crossed the line, I totally agree, but there is a ton of guilt on BOTH sides of that bench. Actually, I think the judge should be brought to account for his actions.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
