SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A judge who berated a pregnant lawyer for showing up in his courtroom in maternity clothes has mailed her a letter of apology, a court spokeswoman said.
Pamela M. Roberson was eight months pregnant when she attended a hearing on April 27 in an oversized white shirt and black pants.
According to court transcripts, Superior Court Judge Thomas N. Thrasher Sr. told Roberson her appearance "leaves a lot to be desired, as far as your clothing is concerned."

"My wardrobe options are pretty limited at this time, your honor," Roberson responded. "I don't really appreciate your commenting on my appearance."
