A maximum 18-month sentence for breaking supervised release set off a tirade from Joseph E. Funk, a suspended Wilmington attorney with a gun-and-drug record, against U.S. District Chief Judge Joseph J. Farnan Jr.

A maximum 18-month sentence for breaking supervised release set off Joseph E. Funk, a suspended attorney with a gun-and-drug record, against a federal judge. "I made one little mistake," Funk said. "I don't think that's justice. I don't think this court's been fair to me. I think this court has treated me like Nazi Germany treated the Jewish people." The judge told Funk he was welcome to his opinion. Then he went to his chambers, and Funk in his white prison jumpsuit and handcuffs went to jail.
