Description
This is an original habeas corpus action. Appellant is a Dallas attorney. The Honorable John Roach, Judge of the 199th District Court of Collin County, found applicant in direct contempt of court on May 23, 1983, during the felony theft trial of The State of Texas v. Hipolito Perez. Relators punishment was assessed at thirty (30) days in the Collin County jail and a fine of $500.00. The basis of contempt as reflected by the courts order was that the relator Jacobs failed and refused to participate in the voir dire examination of the jury panel, failed to strike the jury list, failed to obey the courts order to proceed to trial of the case, forced the declaring of a mistrial, and affronted the dignity and authority of the court, interfered with the orderly administration of the courts business, and engaged in "one or more of the alleged acts deliberately, willfully, and contemptuously" while in open court in the presence of Judge Roach.
