Civil Rights Attorney Held In Contempt — And Then Released — In Boston Court

There was more drama and confusion in Boston Municipal Judge Richard Sinnott's courtroom Wednesday, where prominent immigration and civil rights attorney Susan Church was held in custody for hours.

Sinnott held Church in contempt of court while she was representing someone arrested for protesting this weekend's so-called "Straight Pride" parade.
