A demand for removal and threat of being held in contempt seems like the appropriate response to bringing a camera in, no matter who you are.

Scolding without jailtime = slap on wrist.

I dont disagree, and I think they should face punishment for what they’ve done already.. But what’s supposed to happen here? Jail time specifically for bringing a camera? I dont get it.

Yes, they should get jail time for being in contempt of court because they are professionals and should be held to a higher standard than people off the street.
A person off the street should get a warning. Professionals should be expected to follow a judge’s orders.

Jailtime for wearing glasses that can recors videos un the courtroom?
Maybe the death penalty while you are at it?

The judge made it clear no cameras or recording equipment was allowed in the session and they brought wearable cameras that have facial recognition capabilities. That is the definition of contempt of court.

Defying a judge’s order, in a way that would allow the mega corporation to identify jurors, and influence them through proxies, is quite serious. They have the motive, means, and opportunity to do so, and would get away with it if they did in all likelihood at most paying a settlement of cash.

How much jail time was spent in 2025 by inmates held for contempt of court?

You sound like someone who has never experienced court outside of tv or movies.
The courts process is entirely pragmatic. The entire point is to remove all emotions. The judge is not going to presume malice.
The person most at risk here is their council. It they were aware of this stunt they could cause themselves serious damage.

a small amount of jailtime is a slap on the wrist. A scolding is nothing.

As much as I’d love to see it, even a small jailtime would be pretty serious. Provided he can’t buy himself out. A fine would be a slap on the wrist*. A scolding is just that - something certain people have learned very early to ignore.
* depends on the amount of course
