A northern Michigan lawyer, defending a client during a misdemeanor case, was found in contempt of court by a district court judge, Judge Post.  What did the lawyer do?  He advised his against to assert a privilege against self-incrimination when questioned about using drugs.  The lawyer was tossed into jail and held in contempt.  A Circuit Court judge has reversed that decision, freeing the lawyer, finding that was not in contempt of court, remanding the case to the district court and ordering a new judge to take over the case.  Justice triumphs over tyranny again.  Here is the opinion.
