'Defense Attorney Susan Church has been discharged after being held in contempt of court by Boston Municipal Court judge and being taken into custody.

Judge Richard Sinnott held Church, who was representing a counter-protester from this weekend's "Straight Pride" parade in Boston, in contempt on Wednesday after she began reading case law, making the argument that the judge had no authority to reject the prosecution's decision not to prosecute many of the counter-protesters.

After warning Church to stop reading, Sinnott declared Church in contempt and had her taken into custody by a court official. Church was detained for about two hours before being released by Sinnott.

"This was outrageous behavior," Church told reporters after her release, adding that she was detained "unlawfully and unreasonably" because she was "simply doing my job."'
