Man Bags 6 Months Behind Bars For Using Facebook Live In Courtroom

A no nonsense judge has sentenced a 24-year -old Gainesville man, Jonathan Clyde Davis, to a six-month jail term for streaming a trial live on Facebook from the gallery without the court's permission.

Davis allegedly posted the attempted murder trial on the "Hittmann Souljah" Facebook page where witnesses can be heard testifying.

He wrongfully told the judge he had only made an an audio recording that he planned to use in a music video, according to court records.

Davis was sentenced straight-away — without a trial, just a direct ruling by the judge — after he was questioned in the courtroom in the middle of the attempted murder trial and was found in contempt.
