Station Fire: A brief recess, and an admonishment

WARWICK -- Judge Francis J. Darigan Jr. abrubtly called a recess at about 10:15 a.m. as a family representative began talking about feelings of hatred.

When Darigan reconvened the hearing after a few minutes, and the person returned to the stand, people in the courtroom began to clap in response to his statements.

Darigan then chastised them for the outburst and asked those in the courtroom to refrain from commenting in any way. "This is not a public forum," he said.
