A quick definition of consequential contempt:

Consequential contempt is when someone disobeys or shows disrespect to a court or legislature. This behavior can interfere with justice and is punishable by a fine or imprisonment. There are two types of contempt: civil and criminal. Civil contempt is when someone fails to follow a court order that benefits another party, and the punishment is usually confinement until they comply. Criminal contempt is when someone obstructs justice or attacks the integrity of the court, and the punishment is meant to be punitive. Indirect contempt is when someone disobeys a court order outside of court, and they can only be punished after a hearing.

A more thorough explanation:

Consequential contempt is a type of contempt of court, which refers to conduct that defies the authority or dignity of a court or legislature. This conduct interferes with the administration of justice and is punishable by fine or imprisonment.

Consequential contempt can be indirect contempt, which is committed outside of court, such as when a party disobeys a court order. It is punishable only after proper notice to the contemnor and a hearing.

For example, if a witness in a court case refuses to answer a question from a judge or a lawyer, they could be held in consequential contempt. This conduct defies the authority of the court and interferes with the administration of justice.

Another example of consequential contempt is when a party disobeys a court order to produce evidence or to pay a fine. This conduct shows a disregard for the authority of the court and can be punished by fine or imprisonment.

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
