Re: Disruption of proceedings
Some possible charges are contempt of court and possibly obstruction of justice. It's challenging to answer your question due to its ambiguity. There are many variables that can affect whether someone can be charged with a crime, and also what crime to charge. I recommend that you re-submit your question providing more facts and in a clearer fashion. Break your questions into different parts. Feel free to call me if you need further assistance.
Re: Disruption of proceedings
The crime which you may be thinking of is called
"obstruction of justice". As to whether it would be applicable or not to the examples you have offered, without knowing more facts, there would be no way to tell.
