My guess is that the judge didn't like her looks - if you know what I mean.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – A 17-year-old high school honor student who
works two jobs and financially supports her two siblings is heading
into summer on a sour note after spending a night in jail for being
too tired to attend school.

Diane Tran was arrested in open court and sentenced to 24 hours in
jail Wednesday after being repeatedly truant due to exhaustion. KHOU
reports that Tran, a junior at Willis High School, was warned by Judge
Lanny Moriarty last month to stop missing school. When she missed
classes again this month, Moriarty wanted to make an example of Tran.

“If you let one (truant student) run loose, what are you gonna’ do
with the rest of ‘em? Let them go too?” Moriarty asked, according to
KHOU.

Tran told KHOU that in addition to taking advanced and honors classes,
she works full-time and part-time jobs in an effort to try to support
her older brother at Texas A&M and a younger sister in the Houston
area. After Tran’s parents divorced, they both moved away from the
honor student and her two siblings.

Tran was also fined $100.
