The women warned the two men to back away and claimed spit was coming out of the judge\u2019s mouth as he talked.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of the confrontation was coming from his son and not [Deen]\u201d King said. \u201cFrom my perspective as far as the judge, I don\u2019t believe he spit intentionally; it was more so being irate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI take responsibility for some of the arguing back and forth and I should\u2019ve just walked away,\u201d Deen added.<\/p>\n
