Abstract
In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court reprimanded a defendant who exhibited inappropriate behavior towards a Judge when he did not have a proper mental state during arraignment. His negative mental state was supported by a report from a doctor-psychologist at IHS. While the prosecution and the Court dismissed three total contempt charges, the Court further ordered the defendant to apologize to the lower court judge for his actions towards her.
