Judge fines himself for smartphone use A Michigan judge whose smartphone disrupted a hearing in his own court has held himself in contempt and paid $25 for the infraction.  Judge Raymond Voet has a posted policy at Ionia County 64A District Court stating that electronic devices causing a disturbance during court sessions will result in the owner being cited with contempt. Embarrassingly, amid a prosecutor's closing argument during a jury trial, Voet's new smartphone began to ask for voice command. An embarrassed Voet says he thinks he tapped the phone accidentally, but nonetheless during a break in the trial, he fined himself. Voet says if he can't live by the rules he enforces he has no business enforcing the rules. www.telegraph.co.uk
