Judge Wayne Culver admitted in a disciplinary hearing that he was shocked by his use of profanity, admitting his emotional strain from caring for his dying father. The outburst was noted in the findings from the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission, which the Florida Supreme Court cited in their suspension order.
During a courtroom incident, Judge Culver confronted a man searching for a seat with a loud, aggressive tone, yelling, 'Sir, I'm doing something here. Could you shut up and sit down?'
After the man attempted to explain his situation, Judge Culver escalated the confrontation, stating, 'That's not shutting up. You want to be held in contempt and go to jail? I asked you a f- - -ing question, a- -hole.'
