If a person commits contempt of court, he or she may be fined up to $1,000, and/or may be sentenced to up to 30 days in jail. In some cases, the judge may decide to be lenient and imposed a reduced fine of $500 and a jail sentence of five days, though it is unwise to depend on this outcome.
A person with a BMI (body mass index) value of 40 or greater would also be considered morbidly obese. Grade 3 overweight (commonly called severe or morbid obesity) is a BMI greater than or equal to 40 kg/m2.
