A Juror in a Los Angeles courtroom learned a quick lesson about law etiquette when his yawning cost ended up costing him $1,000. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, Craig Veals, found the man in contempt of court during a lengthy April 1st jury selection procedure when he waved his arms, yawned, and told the judge he was "really bored," court officials said on Wednesday. Judge Veals imposed a $1,000 fine but reduced it to $100 when the man protested upon payment a few days later. The man, whose identity was not revealed, was not selected to serve on a jury. Under California law, judges can fine anyone up to $1,500 to enforce order in the courtroom. But lawyers and court officials said they had never heard of such a punishment for yawning.
