Long Island Criminal Contempt Lawyer Edward Palermo Explains the Meaning of Criminal Contempt in New York
Oct 11, 2022
October 11, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Long Island criminal contempt lawyer Edward Palermo (https://edpalermo.com/long-island-criminal-contempt-lawyer/) releases a new article explaining the meaning of criminal contempt in New York. The lawyer mentions that it is against the law to defy the court. Individuals are required to follow any order issued by the courts. If they fail to do so, criminal contempt charges may be filed against them.
“Most people are familiar with the term contempt of court when things get unruly during a television courtroom drama. But criminal contempt is not just a reprimand. It is a serious criminal charge and carries its own set of penalties. Criminal contempt charges can be either direct or indirect,” the Long Island criminal contempt lawyer says.
The lawyer explains that while direct contempt behavior interrupts a court and its proceeding, indirect contempt generally stems from an individual disobeying the court from outside the courtroom. An individual may be charged with criminal contempt if they defy or disrespect the court either directly or indirectly.
Attorney Edward Palermo adds that criminal contempt in the second degree refers to various disruptions to the work done by a court. A person can be charged with criminal contempt in the second degree if they have been ruled disobedient in or near a court proceeding. This charge can also include behaving disorderly way during court sessions, disturbing the court with noises, and many others.
In the article, attorney Palermo says, “Under New York Penal Code § 215.51, criminal contempt in the first degree is most commonly charged when there is a violation of an order of protection. An order of protection orders a defendant to stay away from another individual and generally involves incidents of alleged domestic violence. Violations of this order can include repeatedly calling the other person and following the protected person.”
Lastly, attorney Palermo emphasizes the importance of having a skilled criminal defense lawyer when facing criminal contempt charges. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the defendant protect their rights and their freedom.
