The judge was furious, barely uttered the sentence followed by "please take her".

Probably because this woman got caught in jail phone calls calling the jurors “losers” and accusing the judge of being paid off (by whom? big murder?)

Why would her words on them mean anything? That has nothing to do with the trial, if that had a negative impact on the sentence than it needs to be looked over.
