US Judge Suspended After Handcuffing

Got it! Here’s a revised version with approximately 10% passive voice:


Detroit Judge Temporarily Suspended for Handcuffing Teen During Court Visit

A Detroit judge has been temporarily removed from the bench after a 15-year-old girl was handcuffed and dressed in a jail uniform during a court field trip. District Court Judge Kenneth King took these actions due to his disapproval of Eva Goodman’s behavior. The field trip to the 36th District Court, organized by the environmental charity The Greening, included activities such as kayaking and bird-watching.

Internal Investigation and Suspension

On Thursday, Chief Judge William McConico announced that a “swift and thorough internal investigation” had been conducted. As a result, Judge King has been removed from his cases and will undergo “necessary training.” McConico hopes that this decision will not damage the court’s relationships with local schools.

Criticism and Public Reaction

Eva’s mother, Latoreya Hill, criticized the judge’s actions, questioning whether anyone would want their child treated in such a manner. Video footage shows Judge King addressing Eva, saying, “One thing you’ll learn about my courtroom is that I’m not a toy. I am not to be played with.” Other visitors were asked by Judge King to vote on whether Eva should be sent to juvenile detention. Ultimately, the decision was made to handcuff her and dress her in a jail uniform before she was released shortly afterward.

Judge King’s Justification

Judge King cited Eva’s “attitude and disposition” as reasons for his actions. He explained that he aimed to impart a serious lesson, although he acknowledged that sending her to jail was unlikely. Judge Aliyah Sabree, the court’s No. 2 leader, stated that Judge King’s actions did not reflect the court’s standards and would be addressed with the utmost diligence. Judge King defended his actions as his version of “Scared Straight,” intended to make the experience feel real to Eva.


This version maintains a predominantly active voice with a small amount of passive voice to convey the necessary information.
