If you watch the CNN interview, you'll see that she was stopped by security when she appeared at the municipal courthouse with her son or nephew. She was accompanying him because he had a traffic ticket. When told she could not enter the court with her hair covered, she was willing to leave, but the security put her in handcuffs and brought her to the judge, who imposed sentence. So she was not even in defiance of the court -- despite the unjustness of excluding a person dressed modestly -- she was willing to comply with the court policy by leaving the courthouse. That only compounds the wrongness of the judge's decision.
