Bruno is now expressing regret for not consulting an attorney before taking her daughter into the courtroom.
“I guess I should have went into the courtroom knowing my rights, because I felt very intimidated,” she told the Deseret News. “An eye for an eye, that’s not how you teach kids right from wrong.”
Mindy Moss, Mother of the 3-year-old whose hair was cut off, said she approved of the sentence and even spoke up during the hearing when she felt Bruno had not cut off enough of her daughter’s hair.
Johansen then directed Bruno to cut the ponytail all the way “to the rubber band.”
Moss told The Salt Lake Tribune that she originally called police about the haircut because she worried the girls’ behavior could become more serious.
“I didn’t want them to think they got away with it. … It was malicious,” Moss said. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach Johansen were unsuccessful Sunday. Colin Winchester, executive director of the Utah Judicial Conduct Commission, said the state Constitution bars him from commenting on whether a complaint has been filed against a judge. A complaint only becomes public if disciplinary action is taken against a judge, he said.
Under state law, judges are given discretion in coming up with sanctions for youth that will change their behavior in a positive way.
Johansen ordered the friend of Bruno’s daughter to have her hair cut as short as his. She was allowed to go to a salon to have it done, then return to the courtroom to ensure that the new hairstyle met with the judge’s approval.

ReplyDeleteThis article is either poorly reported, written, or copied because you can't tell who the hell did what:
ReplyDelete"When the 13-year-old faced Johansen for a hearing in May,...Mindy Moss, Mother of the 3-year-old whose hair was cut off" Is the victim 3 or 13???
"Bruno is now expressing regret for not consulting an attorney before taking her daughter into the courtroom."
...How do you refer to a person in an article by their last name without introducing them to readers first?...Who is Bruno?...
"...but he also offered to take 150 hours of community service off the sentence if her mother cut her ponytail in his courtroom."
Ordered who's mother?...Who cut the hair Bruno or Moss???
And to anyone who comes wrong, you either didn't even bother to read the whole thing, or understood it based on assumptions of who did what. The article damn sure didnt lol.
@ 3:20... Why was I thinking the same thing??? I was about to Google the story because the more I read, the more confused I was. Then I see people commenting and think maybe I'm the slow one. Glad to know I'm not the only one that was confused!! Now let me get on Google and get the correct full story.
