Throughout this thread you have relied on faulty reasoning, ignored both facts and the law and have injected phantom facts into this issue.
The judge saw the "light",
"Moriarty, at the Montgomery County District Attorney's request, signed an order that vacates the contempt of court conviction that sent Diane Tran to jail last week. The decision clears the way for the issue to be expunged from her record.
The action was taken, in part, after Moriarty looked at the extenuating circumstances that had resulted in Tran missing school(discretion) and
because her court summons had failed to notify her of her right to an attorney or to have one appointed for her" The judge violated her right to an attorney, he did not conduct a fair and meaningful hearing. "Judges, however, must balance considerations of fairness to represented parties with due process requirements mandating that pro se litigants receive meaningful hearings." He is commanded to do so as a matter law and the "Code of Judicial Conduct CANON 3"*
