Contempt. All all wills towards yourself.

Why does this redirect from "A Ghost at Noon"? That doesn't make any sense, given what's written here.


The paragraph "In law" states specific information ("However, the judge is allowed to keep them there for up to six months without a trial by jury to officially convict them of contempt.[17]") without giving any information about which legislations this is valid in. Is this U.S. law? Are the 6 months the maximum worldwide? The author should either make it more specific, or such imprecise information should be removed altogether. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.131.241.57 (talk) 18:57, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editing needed on Law section

However, the judge is allowed to keep them there for up to six months without a trial by jury to officially convict them of contempt

I checked the source. The source says nothing about 6 months, and a judge being a aloud to do it. In fact it talks about the rarity of prison for contempt. Either change a source and get a correct one or remove this gibberish. I think this is a made up fact. This could be perceived as cruel and unusual
