How much time would you serve if you were convicted of contempt of court in Cuyahoga county Ohio?
A court can only punish a criminal contempt up to 179 days, and $500 without a jury trial. Anything more than that requires a trial with a jury. See, Otis v. Meade, 483 S.W.2d 161 (Ky. 1972). However, on civil contempt, a Court can hold someone indefinitely in jail until they agree to obey the Court's Order. As the Supreme Court said in Commonwealth v. Burge, "While one may be sentenced to jail for civil contempt, it is said that the contemptuous one carries the keys to the jail in his pocket, because he is entitled to immediate release upon his obedience to the court's order" See, 947 S.W.2d 805, 808 (1996).
