But more specifically here, filing a written motion is not enough to preserve your objection in many cases; more importantly, a judge's ego does not override an attorney's duty to put their argument on the record.

When a judge tells an attorney to stop talking, the attorney MUST stop talking or face contempt of court. Everyone seems to be missing the fact that this public defender's willfully disregarded an order of the court, which necessarily subjected her to contempt and imprisonment. There isn't friendly back-and-forth between a judge and counsel; instead, you make your argument, and then you shut it when the court is speaking or ruling.
