I was pretty chuffed about that $1000 ask, but it turns out that that’s the maximum fine allowed for contempt of court in a criminal trial in New York.
Beyond that, there’s either exclusion from the courtroom (and no judge wants to exclude a defendant from the courtroom) or detention up to thirty days.
