March 31 Court Hearings: Judge Boyd, Simpson, Middleton + More | TCF Podcast #261 · The Courtroom Files

0:01
Good morning, everybody. Happy Tuesday.
0:03
Welcome to TCF Live. My name is Dan.
0:05
I will guide you through the next three hours and 14 minutes
0:10
or so of our journey through Courtlandia.
0:13
We will start in Saint Joseph County, Michigan.
0:16
Judge Middleton. It's alleged that at 2:26 AM on
0:21
March 11th, you're driving a car at Main in Michigan with a
0:26
suspended license. That's a misdemeanor.
0:30
It's punishable by up to 93 days in jail on a fine of up to $500,
0:35
carries 2 points on your driving record, and it requires that
0:38
your license be suspended. The last time you were driving,
0:42
you were on some sort of moped. This appears to be a car.
0:57
You've got the driving suspended you had in 2025 and you never
1:01
paid the fine. I gave you a $250 fine, 125
1:06
dollars, $125.00 in state costs, and you never paid it.
1:12
Then you had that improper load ticket, you never paid that
1:15
either. So you have $410 worth of unpaid
1:18
fines and costs. That's disappointing.
1:26
And one time you had a chauffeur's license, you got
1:33
that driving suspended in July of 25, and you had a no OPS in
1:39
21, another no OPS in 21, no OPS in 20, unpaid ticket in 20, no
1:53
insurance fail pay that ticket. That's over on Berry.
1:58
And it looks like while you're suspended about
2:14
four different ways, this is about the fourth or fifth time
2:19
you've been charged with either driving suspended or driving
2:22
without license. You didn't pay the ticket on the
2:25
last one. So there could be jail on your
2:29
future. Mr. George, is there any sort of
2:32
plea over here? What are you doing these days,
2:37
Mr. Jeske? When I when that happened, I was
2:40
working for the hotels trying to get the mess cleaned up from the
2:44
tornado that happened. It's the only reason I was even
2:46
out driving at that point. I just dropped off the help I'd
2:50
taken out there and I was headed home.
2:55
The day was March 11th. The tornado was March 6th.
3:04
There was one heck of a disaster up there.
3:06
It took almost 10 dumpsters to get that place cleaned up.
3:09
Just the hotels. Yes it was.
3:13
Anyway, I'm disappointed you didn't pay that last fine
3:17
because there's a likelihood of jail in your future.
3:21
I'm going to get a lawyer to help you with this.
3:23
Have you done anything to clear up your license?
3:26
I finally got there. A total cost of what it's going
3:29
to take to get it back. Unfortunately, it's probably
3:30
going to take me a few months before I can get everything
3:33
straightened out. Well, I can wipe out some of the
3:37
fines with a jail sentence, but unfortunately.
3:42
But I'd end up losing my house, I think.
3:46
Yeah, you need a First thing you need to do is pay your fine from
3:50
2025. I put you on a payment plan.
3:54
Then we tried to get in January, you didn't make any payment.
3:57
The payment plan where there's no payment is a very good plan.
4:01
So I'll show a plea of not guilty, appoint an attorney, set
4:14
attorney pretrial for May 1. I gave you just a fine time to
4:43
pay it, even though that was about the fourth or fifth
4:49
offense. This is the 5th or 6th, so I
4:53
don't know what you were doing at 2:30 in the morning, but find
4:58
out. Your story's plausible.
5:00
But you can drive, and I suspect you've been trying to stay under
5:06
the radar. All right, need payment plan.
5:16
As I said, I can wipe out some of those old fines with jail, so
5:21
I'm sure you'd rather pay them than go to jail.
5:23
But he also got unpaid fines and other jurisdictions.
5:28
But I'm not worried about them. Just us.
5:31
Or you can go with court office or I'll see you on May 1st at
5:34
8:30. Elizabeth Boyd.
5:40
Barbara, thank you for the $10. I'm glad you enjoyed that
5:42
slideshow yesterday. I had a lot of fun putting it
5:44
together, so hopefully we can do stuff like that again in the
5:47
near future. And Great Granny Dan is one of
5:51
the better human beings in this world.
5:53
He shows us each and every day how much he cares for all of us.
5:58
Thanks, Dan, for being you. I know Beth has a lot to do with
6:01
you being nice to us. Great Granny.
6:04
Thank you. That's very kind of you.
6:08
I just try to be worthy of all of you.
6:11
Look, you have a lot of places to spend your time and it is
6:16
never lost on me that you choose to spend it with me, so thank
6:20
you so much. You showed up for your
6:27
arraignment in October of 23 and you wanted to get a license so I
6:32
adjourned it till December of 23 and you didn't show up.
6:37
So I did a show cause and said it again for December 19th and
6:46
you didn't show up. Then you got arrested on the
6:53
bench warrant on March 23rd. You came into the counter and
6:59
posted the bond. I recall the warrant and that
7:06
may have been Judge Patterson and set the matter for today.
7:11
So let's take a look at your current driving record.
7:26
The original ticket was 4th and State Street and Three Rivers at
7:32
about 11:30 at night on September 9th of 2023.
7:38
You didn't have your tail lights on, so let's take a look.
7:45
I bet they didn't run a new driving record.
7:50
Jenny or Shannon, could you run a new driving record for
7:55
Elizabeth Boyd? We'll see what her status of her
7:59
license is. I have my permit and I have my
8:02
driving test today actually right after court, so.
8:05
All. Right.
8:26
Well, that's good. Only took you 3 years to do it,
8:29
but sounds like you're on the verge of getting your valid
8:33
license. Mr. George.
8:36
What if we just adjourn this to see if she actually gets over
8:39
the hump? All right.
8:43
Where did you go for three years?
8:46
I moved to Niles, Yeah, and I forgot about court and stuff and
8:51
I didn't get the mail, so that's completely my fault.
8:53
All right. Where are you going to do your
8:59
driver test? On drivers.
9:13
Well, let's reset it for one week.
9:21
April 7th Will you be here then Mr. George to allow defendant to
9:32
pass driver test? If this hits your record, you
9:46
won't be able to get your license for at least 180 days if
9:51
you pass the test. For what it's worth, I do have
9:55
$400.00 worth of bond in here, Mr. George, so there's more than
9:58
enough. Money to pay any fines and.
9:59
Cost. If you pass the test, Mr. George
10:07
could give you some consideration of the law of
10:09
charge. It would let you keep your
10:11
driving. Get your driver's license.
10:20
Now, the last address we had was Clear Lake Rd.
10:24
Is that still valid? Yes.
10:33
All right. I want you to ace your driver
10:35
test to come in here next Tuesday.
10:38
Yes, Sir. Ring license.
11:04
I don't think you have any unpaid tickets.
11:09
Run new driving record. All right, let's see if you can
11:20
get a license. Mr. George could help you by
11:22
reducing the charge, which would allow you to keep your license,
11:26
which is really what we're looking for in the first place.
11:32
All right, good luck on your driver test.
11:50
Abby Pitcher. I'm not trapped at this, but our
12:09
friend September Knowles has failed to appear this morning.
12:16
That poor girl of Cork floating on a very big ocean.
12:31
Good morning. Are you Abby?
12:33
Nicole. Pitcher.
12:34
I am. You from Gwen?
12:37
No, I just moved back down here after I turned 18, so I haven't
12:42
been able to. So you live at Cory Lake Rd.
12:45
Yes. All right, that's a lot closer
12:46
than Gwen. All right, you got a ticket in
12:51
Three Rivers for driving about, a valid license and no license
12:56
plates. Let's take a look at your
12:58
ticket. I used to be Air Force Base in
13:13
Gwen, long, long time ago. Part of Anatomy of a Murder was
13:21
set in Gwen. But you don't even know what I'm
13:29
talking about. But it's about 67 year old movie
13:34
anyway. You got a ticket for speeding?
13:40
No license ever applied. An improper plate, the 62 and a
13:49
25. 4th and Pleasant St. That's not a good place to go 62
13:56
miles an hour. They cited you for 30.
14:02
That speeding ticket looks like it may have been defaulted
14:06
anyway. No license ever applied is a
14:09
misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail on a fine of up
14:14
to $500. The other charge, improper
14:21
plate, is 90 days and or $100. Now you just don't have a
14:27
license. Used to be blonde.
14:39
You had a real ID, which is why they've got your picture.
14:42
Mr. George, would you dismiss the plate charge?
14:47
All right. The principal charge is driving
14:50
without a license ever acquired. Prosecutor would agree to
14:53
dismiss that charge, which would save you $100 if you plead the
14:58
driving without ever having a license.
15:01
What about the speeding ticket? Based on the that she was going
15:06
to. Leave that.
15:08
I guess it's not a default. The fine for the speeding would
15:11
be $90.00 anyway, that's the charge.
15:17
The city attorney would dismiss the no plate charge.
15:21
The charge of speeding 30 and a 25 would stand and that would
15:26
cost $90.00. And if you pleaded not having a
15:30
valid license ever, you would get a $200 fine.
15:36
So are you willing to plead to that charge if the prosecutor
15:41
dismisses the charge of no plate and admit to the speeding
15:44
charge, or do you wish to plead not guilty?
15:47
Not guilty. All right, I'll set it for not
15:52
guilty plea. Are you doing anything to get
15:56
your license? Yes, tell.
15:58
Me about that. All I have to do is go up and
16:01
take the test. I did the driver's training
16:04
class. I took the test.
16:07
I just got to do the drive, which I was able to since I did
16:11
just move from Marquette down here, so I have to do it here.
16:15
So I had one scheduled in Marquette in Gwynn but had to
16:20
get out of there. All right, I'm really curious to
16:27
know how you ended up going 62 miles an hour on 4th Street,
16:31
but. I'm sorry but.
16:33
Don't say any more about it. Not at this, Not yet.
16:43
What? Tell me about why do you have to
16:45
take a drug screen? You said you passed the drug
16:49
screen. No, the driver's training.
16:52
Oh, you said driver's training and I guess I heard drug screen.
16:55
So you do you have a time to take the test?
17:02
Not yet. I got to call up still because
17:05
the last time they were still packed in full so they said give
17:09
it a month and call back. Well, we'll give it a month.
17:16
We'll set it for May 5th now.
17:29
Right now, you don't have any baggage on your driving record.
17:33
There's nothing. You just don't have a license.
17:37
If you get this, you won't be able to get a license for 180
17:41
days. So you need to wake up from
17:44
Slumberland and between now and May 5th, take your driver test.
17:49
And if you come in here and show Mr. George that you've got a
17:52
license, he may give you some additional consideration
17:55
regarding this. OK, what do you do now that
18:03
you're back here in Three Rivers?
18:11
Still working on that. Right now I'm working to get an
18:15
apartment. Yeah.
18:20
All right now if you move, we need to get your change of
18:25
address. Who lives on Quarry Lake Rd.
18:28
My boyfriend, his mom, and two brothers.
18:31
OK. The other thing is the Secretary
18:34
of State believes you live in Gwinn because that's the address
18:39
on your ID and any mail they send from the Secretary of State
18:43
goes to the address on your license.
18:46
So when you go in to take the driver test, make sure you get a
18:50
new address because it and they don't forward Secretary of State
18:54
mail. So if it gets sent to the
18:57
address on your license, it'll just languish there.
19:02
All right, we're gonna see how you can do in a month.
19:16
All right. Good morning once again,
19:17
everybody. TCF live on a Tuesday
19:19
programming note. We're going 3 hours today, not
19:22
4. Bear that in mind.
19:26
Little bit of a slower start out in Courtlandia, but there are
19:29
some other courtrooms that look like they're getting ready to
19:32
get going. In the meantime, we'll continue
19:34
to ride with Judge Middleton for a while.
19:40
The meantime, Mr. George, I'll give you a chance to get the
19:43
report on this and see what the deal was.
19:52
Brand proof of license or permit.
20:01
Because you need to do this anyway.
20:02
You need to get off the driving suspended merry go round and get
20:05
an actual license. Right now, there isn't anything
20:08
prohibiting me from having a license.
20:11
Now, whoever's car you were driving, they could be in
20:14
trouble for allowing an unlicensed driver to drive their
20:17
car. So don't drive a car and get
20:22
your license. And maybe we can fix this on May
20:25
5th. All right, you're good to go.
20:29
Thank you. All right.
20:33
We're working on it. Thank you.
20:35
We're working through this. We got one free trial that Abby
20:40
has brought us and we have Mr. Sivan Jones.
21:24
None. This is file #252435ST.
21:37
You're Savon Ramon Jones. Yes, Sir.
21:41
You got a ticket for driving suspended at 1:31 and M60.
21:47
The cops spent a lot of time there.
21:51
Doesn't say anything about why they stopped you.
21:54
It was at 653 at night on November 20th.
22:01
Nothing really untoward about that.
22:04
You didn't show up your arraignment in December and we
22:11
issued a bench warrant and you got picked up on the bench
22:14
warrant, posted a $500 bond. I think you did an arraignment.
22:20
You didn't show up for the arraignment.
22:22
I believe I did a show cause or Judge Patterson did.
22:28
Then you were set for March 16th.
22:35
March 10th, the power went out and the courthouse was closed.
22:44
It was a mess. So anyway, we gave you a new
22:48
notice and you're here today. So let's look at this.
22:54
This happened November 20th. I don't know why you're
22:57
suspended. Let's take a look at that.
23:03
Your license is expired. It's also suspended.
23:17
You got unpaid tickets from back when they used to suspend your
23:21
license for unpaid tickets. Starting in 2016, you got a
23:41
driver, bought a license, you failed to appear in court, and I
23:44
issued an FAC citation that stands for Failed to appear in
23:47
court. And then you didn't.
23:50
Pay it. So they did.
23:52
FCJ suspension was has failed to comply with judgment.
23:56
So that started your trip on the merry go round 2019.
24:02
You got another ticket for no psycho endorsement and doesn't
24:07
look like you paid that you didn't then failed to appear in
24:15
court. Boy, I'm glad you're here now.
24:18
You got a bunch of failed to appears or failed to pay in
24:21
Kalamazoo, which is part of why your license is suspended.
24:28
It's also expired. Mr. George, any input on this
24:33
one? Oh, it's a it's not yours.
24:38
It's a, it's in Fabius Township. Well.
24:44
I I don't think it's under C. Oh, OK.
24:49
It's under state statue. Anyway, I'm not going to put you
24:53
in jail for this. I've got $500 a bond to pay a
24:56
fine. But if you plead to this, it's
24:59
going to go on your license as a driving suspended charge.
25:02
It's going to make it more and more difficult for you to get
25:05
your license back. Well.
25:07
We honor. I got my license now.
25:09
I just got them in the mail yesterday.
25:10
You have your license now? Yes, Sir.
25:13
All right, hold on to that. We'll see if we can get Josh for
25:19
that. Would you do anything with it?
25:22
What are the charges? A driving suspended and he now
25:25
has a valid license. There's no similar.
25:28
Fractions or. Anything 250-7326.
25:31
But there's no no, there's nothing else attached to it.
25:33
No, yeah, that's fine. I would go.
25:34
I'd do an allowing another. All right, Mr. Roberts feeling
25:44
at the end of his career, but he, like the rest of us likes to
25:49
try to help people get off the driving suspended merry go
25:52
round. You've been on it because you
25:54
had a bunch of unpaid tickets. I'm very pleased to see that
25:58
you'd have a real live driver's license.
26:01
This is a legit some of the Mexican ones.
26:05
I can't always tell. Well, I I made a lot of mistakes
26:12
younger, you know, so it's time to grow up.
26:17
I'd do what I had to do. I can't get this one to come up,
26:41
Laura. But you haven't brought a new
26:59
driving record on that one. I have a seat for a second.
27:04
If it comes back as legit, the prosecutor would reduce the
27:07
charge to allowing another to violate the motor vehicle code.
27:12
That one carries no points, doesn't get abstracted to your
27:17
license, and wouldn't affect your ability to keep or maintain
27:20
your license. I have more than enough money to
27:22
pay your Saint Joe County fine and give you the balance, so
27:27
have a seat for a minute. We'll confirm that we've got a
27:29
valid license and. That allowing another charge
27:36
they use in Michigan all the time is the weirdest thing in
27:38
the world. It's I get why they do it, but
27:42
it's a misapplication of the law and a dumb lot that to say
27:46
you're allowing another and the other that you're allowing is
27:48
yourself. That's just circular logic in my
27:52
opinion. Anywho, let's move on.
27:55
Let's go to Lake County, Ohio. We'll say good morning to Judge
27:58
F Word. Alternative to signature how to
28:04
do a treatment program and out an outpatient treatment program
28:10
that still allows me to be with my psychiatrist and my anger
28:14
management that I'm starting to do again.
28:16
Hold on, what kind of program? It's called maps, Matt.
28:21
Matt, what is it? It's to help me get over the
28:26
urges and the craves of wanting to use how?
28:31
I don't know how. I don't know the full thing
28:34
about it yet. How did you find this program?
28:37
Actually, my friend found it for me, Miss Alicia, and then they
28:42
came in and talked to me about it yesterday.
28:44
Who's she? What?
28:45
Who's Alicia and what? So what's her?
28:49
How did she find it? She called Signature Health for
28:52
me because I through Signature Health, I have my anger
28:56
management and my psychiatry. So I thought that they could
28:59
find me a program that would help me get the tools that I
29:03
need. Other than going away for tools,
29:06
for what other the urges and craves of wanting to do drugs,
29:10
of what kind of drugs? Any drug that I want to do,
29:14
meth, pills, whatever I want. So the reason I did this is so
29:20
that I can also be a father to my daughter.
29:25
Rather than go away for another five months.
29:27
I can help provide for my family and my daughter and still work
29:33
and be on the outs. OK.
29:37
Well, sometimes you sound like a robot.
29:40
Because you've told me that before, right?
29:43
No. Yeah.
29:43
Yeah. But anyway, So what?
29:48
What? What it the map program?
29:53
What do you know what that stands for?
29:55
No, I do not. Medically assisted treatment.
29:58
OK, So what? What kind of meds?
30:01
I don't know what they're going to offer me.
30:03
I haven't been assessed yet. That's tomorrow, apparently.
30:06
Well, April first. OK, I know what they're.
30:10
I mean, what's the purpose of the medication?
30:13
To take away the craves. The craves to help my addiction.
30:18
The craves for what? Being an addict.
30:21
OK, well. There, there's nothing that
30:25
takes away the craving for meth. Are you aware of that?
30:30
Oh, I'm not, Sir. OK.
30:32
Because I really don't do meth. I told you that the last time.
30:35
She would have never let me out of her office.
30:36
They have the same right? Listen, you are where you are,
30:40
OK? So well.
30:54
You don't seem like you're very receptive this morning.
30:57
I'm very receptive, Sir. I'm just trying to take this all
31:01
in you. I came up with an alternative.
31:04
I guess it's not good enough. So.
31:05
Well, I didn't. I didn't say it was good enough
31:07
or not good enough. I'm asking you questions to try
31:11
to find out where you're at, OK, in your situation and where you
31:16
want to go to get out of your situation.
31:19
So don't give me any shit, OK? Because you don't like the
31:23
questions or you don't like what I'm saying, or you're
31:25
anticipating what I'm going to do because you have no idea, no
31:29
idea what you're going to do, Sir.
31:32
So if you are placed on medically assisted treatment,
31:35
that's to take away the desire to do opiates.
31:41
You have a problem with opiates? Apparently, yes.
31:45
Well, I don't. I'm not asking what's apparent
31:49
or what's not apparent. I'm asking you if you do or you.
31:52
Don't. OK here.
31:54
I'm going to come back. OK, I said yes.
31:57
Because he's got a really shitty attitude to start off.
32:01
OK so I'm going to come back and you can talk to him or not talk
32:05
but I'll be back in 5 minutes. All.
32:12
Right, well, all righty then. So we'll rotate back to Judge
32:16
O'Donnell after 5 minutes or so and see how that plays out.
32:20
But let's go back to Michigan. Judge Mcnally's got a pretty
32:24
full courtroom this morning. Arrived at the scene, the
32:28
defendant was already gone, but they didn't have rainy Gordo
32:31
footage from the neighbor, according to the police report.
32:33
It states saw the night was with a shirt off, yelling and
32:36
pounding on the door trying to be gladdened to the home night.
32:39
He was screaming and calling the victim a bitch in the footage.
32:42
Then you can additionally be seen thinking a chair off
32:44
Brown's porch was going to lead in the area.
32:47
That would happen. Yes, Sir.
32:49
That's a little different than knocking on the door, isn't you?
32:52
I mean I. Necessarily wasn't thinking that
32:56
I was calling. I'll just ask you, is that what
32:59
happened? Is that what happened, or is
33:01
that not what happened? Read that again.
33:05
Solomon Knighton with his shirt off was yelling and pounding at
33:07
the door trying to be letting for the home.
33:09
Knighton was screaming and calling the victim a bitch in
33:11
the footage, then initially just seen making a chair of Brown's
33:15
porch before leaving the area. Is that what happened?
33:18
Yes, Sir. It's a little different than
33:20
knocking on the door, isn't it? Yes.
33:31
Guilty plea is accepted. Failure to refrain from having
33:35
contact. Why, why?
33:56
Why is he doing this? It's it's two wrongs don't make
34:01
a right, OK? He doesn't get to come in here
34:04
and defend his actions and then say, well, she went over there
34:08
and she committed a malicious destruction of property that I
34:13
didn't. I'm not, nobody heard me say I'm
34:15
condoning her conduct, but I'm certainly not if that happened.
34:19
I'm certainly not condoning his though.
34:21
So what do you want to say? So you're right.
34:23
Here it's it's really about these kids and these cases are
34:27
very. Tough when the two individuals
34:29
have children. Together, and they live.
34:31
In very close proximity. They live in an apartment.
34:35
Complex on either side of each other.
34:38
Mr. Knighton's mother is here. She's just going to move him at
34:41
this point because this is not. They're going to continue to be
34:44
in sport. Mr. Solomon is trying to move
34:46
forward. He's in school.
34:48
He's supposed to be in school right now.
34:50
He's going to Universal Technical Institute in Canton.
34:54
He's helping raise his children. His mom gets the children.
34:58
He'll keep the children. He's trying to get a job.
35:01
He lost his other job at GM because of all of this.
35:06
How'd you lose the job? Because we got a child with
35:09
assault or domestic. Problem.
35:12
Jim, she got admitted to a mental.
35:15
Hospital so I have to. Get the kids.
35:17
And I. Was still on my 90 day probation
35:19
and then my last security job she called up there and claimed
35:23
the owner and. So it was the security job.
35:27
I've never spoken. It's the security job that he.
35:29
Lost because of this situation. At this point he needs to move.
35:35
So if the I would ask that the court Navy ordered more days on
35:40
the court, court court work program or another anger
35:43
management class. If he goes to jail, it was
35:46
supposed to gradually, legitimately.
35:49
Did he do the eight week? Everything's completed,
35:54
everything's completed and he's set to be discharged coming up
35:57
in junior through the 18th. Everything is done.
35:59
Other than this breaking of contract work, we've been
36:01
compliant and I did talk to the victim as well.
36:07
She did not want to be here for this day.
36:08
She did not want to speak or say anything.
36:10
Yes. Or are loading his affiliation
36:13
for a case with him as the victim as well.
36:14
I agree again with house counsel here, but this is going to
36:17
continue to be open with them as being in the same area as each
36:20
other and kind of together. No.
36:23
You've had a history of domestic violence.
36:25
So you had one taken under height in 23, that's fine.
36:29
But then you had another one dismissed, another one
36:31
dismissed, and then this conviction, and then you're
36:34
violating the orders, Yet another one dismissed in 94.
36:37
It seems like there have been multiple charges.
36:41
I'm not going to assume you did anything wrong because they
36:45
dismissed the cases. But the bottom line is that
36:47
you're violating orders here and you're going to get yourself in
36:52
some deep trouble. And I mean, that's a little bit
36:56
more than in direct contact. You tried to play this down,
37:00
right? Said you knocked on the door.
37:02
You did more than knocked on the door.
37:05
Shirt off, yelling the B word, pounding on the door.
37:21
What do you think? Your Honor, I'm.
37:25
Sure. At this point, again, I think
37:26
they're going to continue to be in the two bathrooms.
37:30
Well, I'm not going to put up with this, OK?
37:34
You're not going to violate orders.
37:36
As far as I know, there's no judge that ordered or not to
37:39
have that gentleman there, correct?
37:42
Correct. Yes, correct.
37:44
And who are you to play judge and jury out there?
37:48
Just mocking news. Well, was this due respect on
37:52
mocking news? That's all.
38:04
When's when's he scheduled the commode?
38:06
June 18th of 2026. Justin graduation is 2026.
38:24
Graduate. Yeah, he's a universal technical
38:29
institute in Canada. You pay additional cost of 70.
38:40
I'm extending probation by a month until July 18th.
38:44
You take pay additional probation fees of 20.
38:47
You to serve two days on the court work program and pay
38:49
$70.00 for that. So your total here is 165 + 2
38:54
days on the court work program. I'm going to caution you do not
38:58
have any more contact with her, do we understand?
39:01
Yes, I think the official order says that he can have contact to
39:05
effectuate visitation, does it not?
39:09
Yes, you're on. Between his mother affection.
39:12
OK, defendant, I can't read my own writing.
39:22
Isn't that horrible? It says mother.
39:25
Somewhere in there it says mother.
39:26
What did I say so? On our number, contact Booker, I
39:29
said. Say that he's not to have.
39:30
Contact with the victim except to exchange my own diet.
39:34
That's how it ordered for. Oh, the kind of permitted to
39:43
have indirect concert attack through his mother to effectuate
39:50
visitation with the mind that show.
39:51
Is that not what I told you? This wasn't written on Miss
39:54
Tassino's case, so I'm just taking it over from here.
39:57
I can go ahead and update it, but I it's hard to read on the
40:00
order. Kind of permitted to have
40:02
indirect contract attack through his mother to effectuate
40:05
visitation with minor children. Is that not how we were playing
40:12
it before, Mr. Mr. Knighton? Yes, we were.
40:15
OK. Well, that I'm still going to
40:17
allow that, but no more of this. Can you pay the 165 now or do
40:21
you need time? How much time?
40:30
All right, you pay this by April the. 8th.
40:39
OK, You need more time. We'll go on Zoom.
40:43
I'll give you an extension. Best of luck.
40:46
Thank you. Thank.
40:47
You. George, do I have gauge Maximus
40:51
Cartier here? Gauge Maximus Cartier here?
40:56

Yeah, so it's fine. I'm going to pass that C Con,

41:50
No, I'm not driving. I'm not driving.
41:51
I am not sleeper, but. How much you would need time to
41:54
pay? You were supposed to come in
41:56
with the money by the 16th. Next time you have to do this
41:58
order before the due date, Mr. Martin, I'm going to ask you not
42:02
to smoke. Please, Sir, Mr. sneak on.
42:04
How much time do you need? Sir, actually I am totally broke
42:09
and you give me some some relief if it is possible.
42:13
I mean, I'll give you more time to pay.
42:14
How much time do you need? I can't do any better than this.
42:17
Really, Sir? OK, OK.
42:21
Can you give me one month more? I'll give you till April 30th,
42:26
OK, April 30 if you pay by. Good luck to you.
42:30
Thank you. Thank you.
42:32

43:06
March the 3rd. I revoked your status, entered A
43:11
conviction, and I believe you were represented by a lawyer
43:18

43:20
Mr. Paints. Well, let's get Mr. Haynes in
43:23
here. Did you talk to Mr. Haynes about
43:25
this this morning yet? I I asked him.

43:30
To talk to you first and then he.
43:32
Talk to you. All right, So I'm going to, I'm
43:37

43:51
I've seen Paula Deon, Tatala de Diwande Law 25-F243345-A and B&C
44:06
and then 25-B148445-A. Your name, Sir.
44:12
All right, so you will. You're here for a show cause on
44:16
345-A deal 225 345 B you O213-ON-345-C you owe 327 it
44:29

44:32
127 is the balance on that. 127 and then you owe 340 on you're
44:39
driving on a suspended that was reduced to no OPS.
44:42
You have the right to a lawyer. If you plead guilty on the civil
44:50
infractions, you could get one day for every $10 owed.
44:53
So you can get 23 days on file A.
44:57
You could get 22 days on file B. You are right.
45:00
I know it's hot in here. If you want to sit down, you can
45:05
sit down. I don't want you to faint there.
45:07
Go sit down at the table behind you.
45:09
Sure. And on file C, you, you could
45:13
get 13 days and then on the misdemeanor, you could get 90.
45:18
If, if I find you could have paid and failed to pay and your
45:22
failure to pay was not without your fault.
45:24
So do you want to stand all of that?
45:30
All right, I'm going to cut this short.
45:32
You look like you're going to faint.
45:36
Why don't you sit down? I'm going to feel a lot better
45:38
if you sit down behind it. You have the right to a lawyer.
45:48
I'll be happy to provide you with one at public expense.
45:50
You have the right to a hearing. At a hearing you can question
45:54
their witnesses, bring in your own use.
45:55
The subpoena powers the court to bring in those witnesses.
45:58
You can testify or remain silent, your main silent.
46:01
That silence would not be held against you.
46:03
You understand all that? If you plead guilty, you're
46:06
giving up your right to a contested hearing of any kind.
46:08
You understand that? And you understand I said you
46:11
have the right to an attorney. Did you like an attorney?
46:17
You work where at? Nice.
46:23
Nice and loud. I can't hear you, Henry Ford.
46:25
What? Henry Ford.

46:32
You haven't. Been taking care of these at

46:59
And I keep telling you giving you more time.

47:17
People Against Julian William Tom, 262647873.
47:28
He's on Zoom judge. Did he meet with the department
47:32
Rep for tracking? He did.
47:35
All right, come on in here, Sir. Your name, please.
47:39
Julian, William, Tom. All right, so you met with the
47:42
the department Rep and you are going to plead responsible to
47:45
the charge of impeding through? Yes, your Honor.
47:48
To that charge, responsible or not responsible?
47:51
Responsible. All right, I'm going to accept
47:54
your plea. Your total is 155 dollars.
47:58
You can pay that today, correct? Yes, your Honor.
48:01
You can go right on three threecourt.com with your case
48:03
number and make your payment. You're all set.
48:06
Best of luck. OK, we'll come back to Judge
48:09
McNally, but let's go back to Judge O'Donnell.
48:13
He's back in court with that defendant.
48:22
It's not that anything you want to say.
48:26
Yeah, I want to. Regard to the instant matter, I
48:27
know we briefly in that break, John and I went over more
48:33
thoroughly what the MAP program was.
48:36
He understands what that entails now fully.
48:41
With that regard, someone from Signature Health, a licensed
48:44
social worker, Brianna Wiley, visited him at the jail,
48:47
informed him what the MAP program is.
48:50
If you'd like to participate that your Honor, he has an
48:54
intake appointment that's scheduled for April 1st at 2:00
48:57
PM at the Willoughby location of Signature Health.
49:00
He's already acclimated there by getting Med compliance and
49:04
seeing a counselor of his psychiatrist as well as anger
49:09
management. Your Honor, during this period
49:12
of time that he was not reporting to per patient, a lot
49:15
was going on in his life. He lost his best friend.
49:18
He's a pallbearer for them. I heard that.
49:21
I heard that last week. I know that, but then again he
49:26
didn't turn himself in either, correct?
49:28
He had to go grab him at riders in, so correct.
49:32
So that only goes so far, that stuff.
49:36
Right. Your Honor, just trying to
49:38
detail it for the record. So that's aware and the court's
49:40
aware as well. Just to reiterate what we went
49:42
over last week. OK.
49:44
Additionally, he did his girlfriend did have an issue
49:49
with emergency surgery that she had to be rushed to the
49:51
Cleveland Clinic for. He, on the other hand, was also
49:56
helping his mother out. She broke her head and he was
49:59
caring for her as well. And that he does have two
50:02
sponsors that he was maintaining.
50:04
He reconnected with his daughter, wants to continue that
50:07
connection that he does have with her.
50:11
With that, Your honor. He's done that in the past,
50:13
right? Well, you weren't.
50:18
You weren't here. Mike Murray was representing.
50:20
Them. So I'm aware of what he's done
50:23
in the past and how he's had periods of good and followed by
50:26
periods of bad and. So I'm I'm.
50:31
Pretty well aware of since we've been seeing each other for four
50:36
years now, right. So I'll go ahead.
50:40
I don't want to interrupt you. He has.
50:43
Been working the writers in which he may have already
50:46
previously known that as well and he does have an opportunity
50:49
with his concrete to be in the union.
50:52
So he does want to take full advantage of that opportunity as
50:55
well. But he understands at this point
50:57
in time after our long conversations that he needs to
51:00
help himself before he can continue on on the path of
51:04
either helping others or kind of progressing into his law abiding
51:08
life with that respect. But he does need.
51:10
I mean everybody, Watson, to take advantage of these
51:13
opportunities go. Ahead.
51:20
With that, Your Honor, we're just asking you for
51:22
consideration for the MAP program.
51:25
We understand that he did participate in some sort of IOP
51:28
in the past. We believe with potentially with
51:32
the difference of having a medically assisted treatment
51:35
opportunity as well as participating in what he has
51:38
done before that I could be helpful for his instant matter.
51:48
Anything else you want to tell me?
51:50
I want to apologize from earlier, I didn't understand.
51:54
The fully of what was. Going on with the whole program,
51:58
she came yesterday and just made me sign some papers and didn't
52:01
fully explain everything. So I want to apologize to you,
52:04
Sir. That was my fault.
52:12
How long you been going to signature?
52:16
Since 2021 I believe. On and off and.
52:26
Who, who, Who have you? What kind of services have you
52:30
been? I've done creep counseling,
52:34
anger management in the Painsville one.
52:36
I just signed up for anger management at the Willoughby
52:40
one. I have my psychiatrist at the
52:42
Willoughby 1. Mary Winfield is my doctor.
52:46
Did that psychiatrist ever prescribe you medication she has
52:50
for sleeping? When's the last time I talked to
52:55
her? A month ago.
53:02
How long has he been in jail on this one?
53:04
He has. 14 days of credit. Amendment violation?
53:11
Isn't he due off pretty soon? May. 25th.
53:33
Besides, I I assume you're going to be see the psychiatrist again
53:37
at Signature? Yes, Sir.
53:40
What other doctors do you go to? Just Mary Winfield.
53:44
She is at the Painesville location.
53:47
Signature Health. What does she do?
53:51
She's my, my regular doctor. Primary care.
53:55
Primary care. I couldn't think of that word.
54:33
All right, I'm going to extend your community control to May 25
54:46
of 27. You can serve 14 days in jail
54:55
with credit for 14. No illicit drugs or alcohol.
55:05
The screens, you're fully engaged with Signature Health,
55:11
which means going there tomorrow, doing the evaluation,
55:17
following all their recommendations.
55:21
We're going to do the decision points program, follow those
55:25
recommendations. The only doctors you can go to
55:28
right now are the Signature doctors.
55:33
You could go to only one dentist and one pharmacy for medication,
55:40
take your medication as is prescribed, sign releases for
55:43
probation so they can get all your records to wherever you go,
55:47
maintain full employment, pay the cost and supervision fees.
55:50
Now the last time that you when you hurt your ribs, you went to
55:55
what urgent care or an ER which we are OK.
56:02
You are. Obligated to inform probation of
56:08
anywhere else you go. You're not to go anywhere else
56:11
for doctor care unless it's a a vital emergency.
56:16
Guys, we don't want you going around to this place and getting
56:19
a script in this place and getting a script.
56:22
You understand that? Yes, Sir.
56:24
You are your own worst enemy. I am Miss Randazzo.
56:32
Any other terms? You have a tendency to do poorly
56:51
and to do well for a period of time and do poorly.
56:56
So I don't know what the answer is, but you have the answer.
57:04
So you're either going to solve the Riddle or not solve the
57:08
Riddle. That's up to you.
57:13
Any questions? Oh, Sir.
57:17
OK, that's it. You got to go to probation as
57:21
soon as you get out of jail today.
57:23
You understand that? Yes, I do all.
57:25
Right. Thank you Sir all.
57:29
Right, Okie dokie, friends, let's go.
57:31
Let's go to Florida. Wade Mercer, See what's going on
57:37
there? Mr. Morris, Good morning.
57:39
Mr. Morris, you're here because you've been accused of 1 count
57:41
of Grand Theft. Mr. Morris, you also appear to
57:45
be on probation in two different case numbers.
57:48
So Mr. Morris, I'm going to tell you there is probable cause in
57:51
the complaint. I've also looked at your
57:52
criminal history in the probation files, and I think
57:55
you're entitled to a bond in the new charge, but not necessarily
57:58
a bond in a potential VOP. I'm going to listen to the
58:01
attorneys before I make that bond decision.
58:03
Mr. McDaniel, anything? No, that's your honor.
58:05
Mr. Mitchell. What are the two VOP cases?
58:08
Jackson County 24-289-CF and Washington County 24-2 09209.
58:20
Looks like a 5 or 0. My handwriting.
58:23
We just request A7 day hold be put out so we can contact
58:27
probation see if they're going to put a warrant out.
58:30
Thank you. So, Mr. Morris, what I'm going
58:31
to do is set your bond at $10,000 cash or surety on the
58:34
new charge for the condition of no contact with the alleged
58:36
victim. Don't try to post the bond
58:38
because I'm going to hold you for seven days.
58:40
I'm asking Mr. Mitchell's office to notify probation of the
58:42
probation office of the arrest, and they have seven days to seek
58:45
a warrant from the Circuit Judge if they're going to do that, or
58:48
circuit judges because you're on probation in two counties, it
58:51
appears. So I'll see you in seven days
58:53
and we'll see if they have a warrant or not.
58:55
If they don't have a warrant, I'll release the hold and you
58:57
can post the bond if you wish and be released.
58:58
If they do have a warrant, we have to see if that warrant has
59:01
a bond on it. Mr. Morris, do you have any
59:03
questions, Sir? No.
59:04
Sir, thank you. Yes, Sir.
59:06
We'll see you in seven days. We have Bernard Williams next.
59:19
Mr. Williams, Good morning. Mr. Williams, we got a report
59:21
back from the evaluation I think you participated in yesterday.
59:25
So Mr. Williams, let me see what the party's positions is our
59:28
positions are and we'll go from there.
59:31
Mr. Mitchell. Let me start.
59:33
With Mr. McDaniel, because I think he's the one making the
59:34
request, I believe, Your Honor, yes, we did complete that mental
59:38
health evaluation yesterday, Your Honor, and the
59:40
recommendation from the mental health professionals was that he
59:43
sent up to the Baker facility and we just asked that.
59:49
You know he'd be sent to the Baker.
59:51
Facility. So your request ROR and then
59:53
give a court date, yes. And Mr. Mitchell, what's your
59:56
position? Yes, as long as there is a Baker
59:59
Act hold in place, we are OK with an ROR if he will be
1:00:03
released to that facility. So, Sarge, my understanding from
1:00:06
the e-mail I got from Mr. McDaniel yesterday is that they
1:00:09
have signed a Baker act that they would like to get further
1:00:12
treatment and evaluation. Is that right, Sarge?
1:00:15
That's correct. So Mr. Williams, what I'm going
1:00:17
to do is we want to get your mental health straighten out to
1:00:19
the best, best of our abilities. What we're going to do is I'm
1:00:21
going to give you a RORROR stands for your release on your
1:00:24
own recognizance. You're going to get out of jail
1:00:27
today, but you're going to go from the jail to a behavioral
1:00:30
facility so they can do an evaluation and determine if
1:00:32
there's medication need something that might can do to
1:00:34
get you thinking more clearly the the allegations against you
1:00:38
are pretty bizarre. So we got to try to get you on
1:00:40
the right track. Mr. Williams, the jail is also
1:00:42
going to give you a notice for your court date.
1:00:43
What notice, Mr. Mitchell, would you like?
1:00:47
27th. April 27th, if we can give him a
1:00:51
notice for April 27th at 9:00 AM, Mr. Williams, that will be
1:00:54
your court date. That notice they'll put in your
1:00:56
hand will be the only notice you get.
1:00:58
So Mr. Williams, do not lose that notice.
1:00:59
So Mr. Williams, they're going to get you down to Panama City,
1:01:02
or usually Panama City is where the closest facility is at.
1:01:05
That'll happen sometime today. Do you have any questions, Mr.
1:01:08
Williams? I.
1:01:09
Don't know. All right.
1:01:10
Sorry, wish you the best. Sarge, I think that's it for our
1:01:18
short first appearances. We have one add on case from
1:01:20
yesterday. But as far as jail cases go, I
1:01:23
think that's it. Anything else from the jail?
1:01:25
No Sir, that's everybody. Mr. Mitchell, anything you need
1:01:28
the jail. For nothing from the jail.
1:01:30
Mr. McDaniel, Sarge, do you have anything right after first
1:01:34
appearance? Is anybody else using this
1:01:35
connection? No, Sir.
1:01:38
Thank you. We'll just stay on the same
1:01:39
connection for this last case. Thank you.
1:01:43
We have zoning Emmanuel Scott. Mr. Scott, come on up.
1:01:47
This is case 26-149-CT Mr. Scott was set for arraignment
1:01:52
yesterday. I believe Mr. Scott's or his
1:01:55
family called the office and explained he was got confused or
1:01:58
something about the the court date.
1:01:59
There's some kind of miscommunication.
1:02:00
So he was told to be here this morning.
1:02:03
Mr. Scott, I'm going to appoint the public finish off to
1:02:04
represent you and ask if you listen to Mr. McDaniel, the
1:02:07
honor. Mr. Scott, I I believe he's
1:02:10
hired an attorney yesterday, so at least that's where he advised
1:02:13
me. I don't know if the attorney's
1:02:14
filed anything yet, so probably just set him on another court
1:02:18
docket if the. Courts agreeable with that he
1:02:23
he's obviously going to. Show up.
1:02:24
He showed up today. He's a correctional officer.
1:02:27
We know where he's at. So he's not going to where?
1:02:29
Mr. Scott, the charge of leaving the scene without giving the
1:02:32
information required under Florida law.
1:02:35
And let's see if an attorney has filed a notice of appearance or
1:02:40
not. There has not been an attorney
1:02:46
filed a notice of appearance. Who did you hire?
1:02:50
Attorney Steven Higgins. Steven Higgins.
1:02:53
And where's Mr. Higgins out of Higgins?
1:02:57
My 5? Sure if I'm not to look for it,
1:03:01
Yeah. Was he?
1:03:02
Tallahassee, Panama City? Where?
1:03:13
Steven C Higgins. From the law place.
1:03:15
He's. Stationed out in, I think it's a
1:03:21
Tampa. You just hired him over the over
1:03:24
the Internet, over the phone, over the Internet.
1:03:25
I just called him and. Hired him over the phone.
1:03:27
Has he actually been hired? Yes, Sir.
1:03:29
You've actually paid him. Everything when?
1:03:32
Yesterday I have the receipt for it.
1:03:34
You know when you paid him what time because he hasn't found
1:03:38
anything, which is usually when a tournament gets hired.
1:03:42
The first thing they do is file a notice of.
1:03:43
Appearance. He.
1:03:45
Had texted. Me this morning.
1:03:46
And he had said that we filed our notices on this civil
1:03:51
infraction, but the criminal case is not showing in the clerk
1:03:54
site yet. It's it's in warrant status, so
1:03:57
it's not going to show. So they can't see it because of
1:04:00
it being warrant status. Under Florida law, it's
1:04:03
restricted until the warrant is served or set aside.
1:04:06
There is a notice of appearance in the civil matter, and I had
1:04:10
paid that at 4:55 PM and it was also real late in the day.
1:04:15
OK, So what we need to do, Mr. Mitchell, what's the state's
1:04:21
position then as far as setting aside the warrant, giving him a
1:04:24
court date? I have no objection to setting
1:04:26
aside the warrant. I think, you know a notice of
1:04:33
appearance hasn't been filed. I think we could go ahead and
1:04:35
just set them on the April 9th date if it doesn't.
1:04:40
April 9th. It's just 10 days away.
1:04:43
You want it set for April or you want it set for May?
1:04:45
We can set it for May. OK.
1:04:47
What I'm going to do then is I'm going to set aside the the
1:04:49
warrant issued in your case. It appears to be an honest
1:04:51
mistake. You showed up here today.
1:04:53
Appreciate that. So we're going to set aside the
1:04:55
warrant. Secondly, what we're going to do
1:04:56
is we're going to give you a notice for the private attorney
1:04:58
docket, which is May the May, the 7th at 1:30.
1:05:02
We're going to get you to sign that notice.
1:05:05
You need to make sure you get the copy, that notice to your
1:05:07
attorneys to communicate with his office.
1:05:09
Once that warrant is set aside, he'll be able to go in the file
1:05:11
or his staff will be able to go in the file and file a notice of
1:05:13
appearance. They just can't do that while
1:05:15
there's an active warrant. So there's your copy of your
1:05:18
notice for your court date. We'll get you to sign it, give
1:05:20
you a copy of it. And I called yesterday to figure
1:05:29
out before they wasn't told me that.
1:05:33
Yeah, and and your notice came back, so you did not get the
1:05:35
notice. I don't have any reason to doubt
1:05:36
what you're saying. How do you say your first name?
1:05:45
Zonam. Zonam with an NFM.
1:06:21
Mr. Scott, we'll see you on that date, OK.
1:06:23
Thank you, Your honor. Have a good day, Sir.
1:06:27
I gotta say, I'm a little confused that this guy hired an
1:06:30
attorney out of Tampa. If he's all the way up in the
1:06:34
Panhandle, I I hope for his sake that this whole thing is able to
1:06:40
be handled via Zoom. If he ever has to show up, the
1:06:43
expenses are going to go way, way up.
1:06:46
But that's his choice. Let's let's go back to Michigan
1:06:50
and back to Judge McNally for a while.
1:06:54
Lawyer. You're going to plead to
1:06:57

1:06:59

1:08:02
All right. When can you pay the rest?
1:08:07
Where do you work? I'll let you pay $50 biweekly.
1:08:13
How's that beginning at beginning on April the 14th.
1:08:18

1:08:22
extension. OK, so 75 now and then 50 bi

one to five over and they're going to dismiss the 45 and the
1:09:00
25. Is that what you want to do?
1:09:02
That's one point. Do that charge responsible or
1:09:05
not responsible. 160 is your total.
1:09:09
I'll accept your plea. You've got you got to slow down
1:09:12

OK, it says both vehicles drivable, no accidents, I mean
1:14:10
no injuries. So charge if you're to stop a

1:14:36
Thank you people against Trevor Gordon.
1:14:41
Trevor Gordon Trevor Lynette Gordon 26 W 84176-O
1:14:57
Got you going 42 and a 25 they wrote you for distracted your
1:15:01
name and now you want an informal OK.
1:15:06
I just want you to know I might let the officer, if he asked me
1:15:09
to, to amend the citation back to speed.
1:15:13
He was trying to be a nice guy out there.
1:15:15
He wrote you for distracted. He's got you going 42125 which
1:15:20
by the way, is a four point. So I don't have a problem with
1:15:23
you telling me you want an informal.
1:15:25
But I want to forewarn you. If he asked me to amend the
1:15:27
citation to go back to the original charge, I'm going to do
1:15:30
it. Do we understand one another?
1:15:31
Yeah. I don't believe I was.
1:15:35
Going all you have to do is be going 26 and a 25 and that's one
1:15:38
point. So I'm not quarreling with you.
1:15:41
I'm just telling you if he asked me to amend the citation,
1:15:45
probably going to allow him to do it.
1:15:46
He was being a nice guy out there and these guys when you
1:15:51
start requesting hearings that fine, that's fine.
1:15:53
You have the right to the hearing.
1:15:55
But I'm just telling you I'm going to let him amend the
1:15:56
citation if he asked me to do that.
1:15:59
Do we understand him to the what the distracted?
1:16:08
I don't want to force you to do that.
1:16:10
That's if you don't think you did anything wrong at all.
1:16:13
But these guys are nice guys out there sometimes and they give
1:16:16
you a break on the roads that are writing you for what he what
1:16:19
could have been a four point. He writes you for a zero point.
1:16:21
That's not extractable. You do what you want.
1:16:28
You don't get any for this track.
1:16:29
It doesn't even, we don't even report it to the Secretary of
1:16:32
State. I understand.
1:16:34
So what do you want to do? You sure?
1:16:38
Yes, Sir. That charge of distracted
1:16:40
driving, responsible or not responsible?
1:16:42
All right, I'm going to accept your plea.
1:16:45
Fines and costs are 155. I'll make it 1:50.
1:16:49
You got a clean record. I'll.
1:16:51
I'll cut that. Well, it is.
1:16:53
It is. Good luck. 150 is your total.
1:16:55
You can go down the hall and take care of that.
1:16:57
And you're all set. Thank you.
1:16:58
Best of luck all. Right, let's change things up.
1:17:01
Fulton County, Ohio, We'll say good morning to Judge Mcburney.
1:17:07
We got. To put on here.
1:17:12
Good morning, Mr. Kim's. Hey, how you doing about it?
1:17:15
I'm OK. How are you?
1:17:19
Oh, I'm OK. Good.
1:17:20
Mr. Kim's. I'm Judge Mcburney and we are
1:17:23
doing a couple things today. It's your arraignment day on
1:17:28
your case. Miss Rios, who has been doing a
1:17:32
bunch of work on your case and has filed some things.
1:17:34
She's already filed a waiver of arraignment, meaning she's
1:17:37
entered a plea of not guilty for you.
1:17:40
That means the prosecution's going to get discovery to her so
1:17:43
she can talk to you about what evidence the state has.
1:17:48
Miss Rios has also filed a motion for a bond reduction, and
1:17:52
that's what we're going to do. Since she's waived arraignment,
1:17:55
I don't have to talk to you about the charges you face,
1:17:59
although it may come up a little bit in the conversation we have
1:18:01
about bond. But what you're definitely going
1:18:04
to talk about is whether your bond should be reduced from what
1:18:09
it's at now. And if it's going to be reduced,
1:18:13
what's that going to look like? So we're going to get on the
1:18:17
record in your case, this is 26 SC 000598 state versus Kim's.
1:18:25
Mr. Kim's is in court with Miss Rios, his attorney.
1:18:28
Miss Willingham represents the state.
1:18:30
And Mr. Kim's, you were given a bond in September of last year,
1:18:38
a $14,000 bond, but I don't know that.
1:18:53
Part of what I would need to do, you don't have a bond at all on
1:18:57
the kidnapping count. That's that's maybe part of the
1:19:00
confusion. I don't know if Mr. Kim's has
1:19:02
tried to post the bond, but the bond he got in September, the
1:19:11
kidnapping was dismissed. So maybe it was in connection.
1:19:18
OK, well, whatever was supposed to be what it is officially in
1:19:21
the indictment is kidnapping and you don't have a bond on that.
1:19:25
You've got a bond for some other counts, but the bond and the
1:19:30
indictment don't line up. So it may be that he shows in
1:19:33
the system is no bond on something.
1:19:34
But we'll address all that today.
1:19:37
So it's $14,000 spread across some counts that you, some of
1:19:42
which you don't face anymore. So let's work through all that.
1:19:47
I might hear from your lawyer. I'm also going to hear from the
1:19:49
prosecutor. The prosecutor has asked for a
1:19:52
little more time to see if she, Miss Willingham, can get input
1:19:57
from Miss Smith. That's the person that you
1:19:59
allegedly did these things to. We'll see what happens, Miss
1:20:03
Rios. Mr. Honor, Mr. Kim's is 47 years
1:20:07
old. He's lived in Georgia for the
1:20:08
last seven years. Prior to being arrested, he was
1:20:11
working at McDonald's as an overnight cook and a driver.
1:20:15
He did graduate from high school and he has two boys and two
1:20:18
girls ages 22/20/12 and 14, and he's an active father in all of
1:20:24
their lives. He's been fusty for about a year
1:20:27
now and he's not able to make his bond.
1:20:31
I think separate from the issue of him not having a bond on that
1:20:33
case, that the bond is just too high for him to be able to
1:20:35
afford. I do understand the nature of
1:20:38
these charges, but then again, at these points and at this
1:20:41
point, there are allegations and his he's maintaining that this
1:20:44
does not what happened the way the state is alleging that it
1:20:48
happened, especially the the kidnapping since she she did
1:20:53
come to his location. That's the exit on how we get
1:20:56
into with the facts. But I'm asking for the bond to
1:20:59
be reduced to 5000 and I understand that slow but that's
1:21:02
that's the most he would be able to hope to make.
1:21:05
OK. And you don't think there's
1:21:09
anything else holding Mr. Kim's? No holds from other places?
1:21:16
I don't see anything in the system.
1:21:19
OK, tell me your understanding of the connection Mr. Kim's has
1:21:27
to Miss Smith. Is this a stranger?
1:21:29
Ex-girlfriend, Not the mother of any of the four kids.
1:21:35
No, you're right. OK, All right.
1:21:39
And Mr. Kim's, where did you live, Miss?
1:21:42
Miss Rios said You've been in Georgia for seven years.
1:21:46
It's it's kind of what backwards.
1:21:49
I've been here since I was seven years old.
1:21:51
OK, so you've been here for four years.
1:21:54
Sorry. Got it.
1:21:55
That's OK. She got a wise Christ.
1:21:57
All right, so you, you've been here for a while.
1:21:59
Yeah, got it. OK.
1:22:01
Anything else at this point you want to add Miss Rios?
1:22:04
Yeah. Your Honor.
1:22:06
All right, Miss Willingham. I was going to address the
1:22:10
length of time that the defendant.
1:22:11
Has been here. He has a length of history for
1:22:15
the time that he's been here in Georgia.
1:22:17
Yeah, I'm just looking through the the local jailings and we go
1:22:22
all the way back to 96 that. Is correct, your Honor, with
1:22:26
most of the cases early? On being.
1:22:29
Simple batteries, but even in addition.
1:22:33
To those. Misdemeanor charges from the
1:22:35
90's. The defendant had an FTA in
1:22:38
1998. He had a violation of controlled
1:22:41
substance in 2001, a probation violation in 2002, another one
1:22:46
in 2005. Somehow he got a first offender
1:22:50
for a drug charge in 2013, but that was discharged.
1:22:57
It was successfully discharged, not quite sure how the first
1:23:00
offender happened though. And then when this incident
1:23:04
occurred, he actually was under a sentence of 10 years to serve
1:23:09
two years with five of those years suspended that he was
1:23:13
sentenced in that case and that was a drug charge.
1:23:15
He was sentenced in that case on May 22nd of 2022.
1:23:19
So our case would have actually happened during the time that he
1:23:23
was still under sentence and that was that case includes A
1:23:28
aggravated assault. So the defendant has quite a
1:23:31
lengthy history that includes violent acts.
1:23:34
What's the do you have the indictment number for that met?
1:23:38
It is 20 SC 174292. OK.
1:23:46
It is not the same victim, but I.
1:23:49
Would have. Some serious concerns about the
1:23:52
defendant's risk to reoffend. As.
1:23:56
We stand here today. It's been a pretty consistent
1:23:59
history with not many breaks. Often times when we see cases
1:24:04
where there's a old history, there's some kind of break here.
1:24:07
It's pretty consistent from 1996 all the way up to present day
1:24:11
with the defendant having pretty consistent charging and several
1:24:16
violent offenses. So the state would argue that
1:24:19
the defendant is a risk to reoffend.
1:24:21
And as I've already mentioned, we have not had direct
1:24:25
communication with our victim and that would also be a concern
1:24:29
of ours if the defendant was released.
1:24:32
OK, Mr. Kim's, I didn't remember it, but your case from 2020
1:24:39
actually was a plea in front of me.
1:24:42
You had Mr. Franklin as your lawyer and Miss Hall was the
1:24:47
prosecutor. You shot at someone.
1:24:52
Can I speak? You're going to.
1:24:53
Get a chance to talk in just a minute, but you may want to
1:24:57
preview to Miss Rios what it is you're going to talk about 5 to
1:25:01
serve. Two years, so some probation.
1:25:05
OK, OK. I'm sorry Judge I, I do want to
1:25:19
add he also has a simple battery out of Louisiana on 2015.
1:25:23
OK. Does your file contain any input
1:25:28
from Miss Smith? I know recently you haven't been
1:25:33
able to connect with her but I'm curious if there are any
1:25:36
notations of hey as long as he stays away I'm OK or the
1:25:40
opposite No judge I get all of. Our contact up until his point
1:25:46
has been with her mother. I have spoken with her mom a
1:25:49
couple of times. I have not spoken with.
1:25:51
The big job director. OK.
1:25:54
And does her mom offer any perspective sort of second hand
1:25:57
as to what her daughter? OK, got it.
1:26:03
Miss Rios, your client had wanted to say something.
1:26:06
Have you decided he shouldn't say something You.
1:26:09
Haven't say anything. OK.
1:26:11
Anything you want to add? All right, So Mr. Kim's, I am,
1:26:21
in light of of reviewing the case you had a few years ago,
1:26:28
concerned that something like this came up while you were on
1:26:31
probation for that. And so I'm going to leave the
1:26:35
bond as it is and let Miss Rios continue doing work on your
1:26:41
behalf. She's going to get discovery.
1:26:44
Miss Willingham, is there anything complicated about the
1:26:46
discovery in this case? Any reason why you can't get it
1:26:48
to Miss Rios ASAP? OK, so Miss Rios is going to get
1:26:53
the discovery in this case, which is going to be witness
1:26:56
statements or body Cam or whatever's out there.
1:26:59
She'll review it, she'll talk to you about it, and then she's
1:27:03
going to work with you on deciding what's the best way to
1:27:06
move forward. Let's get here for trial.
1:27:10
Is it going to be a plea? Is there something that needs to
1:27:13
be suppressed because the police did something that Miss Rios
1:27:16
thinks wasn't the right way to do things during their
1:27:18
investigation? She needs a chance to look at
1:27:21
Discovery and talk to you about it, and we'll take it from
1:27:23
there, OK? Yes, Sir.
1:27:24
All right. Thanks, Miss Rios.
1:27:29
Okie, dokie to correct the record.
1:27:31
That was Fulton County, Georgia, apparently, Ashley said.
1:27:35
I said Fulton County, Ohio. Nope, Georgia.
1:27:41
Let's move from Judge Shouty Shout to Texas and say good
1:27:46
morning to Judge Stevens. Ashley Marie Stevens, OK, you've
1:27:52
been indicted as of November of last year for the state jail
1:27:56
felony of Berkeley of the building.
1:27:59
This bears with it up to two years in the state jail and it's
1:28:02
a felony office. So it's it's serious to deal
1:28:06
with what's an initial appearance?
1:28:08
What are we doing today? Just put it on the announcement
1:28:10
judge. I'll just put it on announcement
1:28:12
doc. Yeah, that's perfect.
1:28:14
Good idea. Thank you, Judge.
1:28:16
I appreciate you. I don't see any other prior
1:28:19
conviction. You don't have prior
1:28:20
convictions. You know, I think I'm not trying
1:28:23
to work that out. Fix this, fix this.
1:28:25
OK. You don't you know how long a
1:28:30
felony conviction that you have to carry if felony conviction in
1:28:36
this state and you're convicted, do you know how long guys rest
1:28:39
to be announced? They rest to be announced.
1:28:43
So fix this. Fix those.
1:28:45
OK, he's a good man. Is that it?
1:28:48
That's not just one of them. But he is.
1:29:05
Caleb Puente at 9:30 One more right, Let me I have a he needs
1:29:10
to talk to him real quick. I'll come back to 9 Thursday
1:29:13
online. Too.
1:29:14
And if there's something else but I'm not going to seeing
1:29:16
anything I'm. Going to do it.
1:29:18
On this maze I'm. Just going to sign her up right
1:29:21
now. Where is that one?
1:29:24
Serenity Maze is 930, and that's going to.
1:29:26
Be a plea. Awful.
1:29:28
Let. Me, I'm going to sign up, right?
1:29:29
Now OK. Doggie.
1:29:32
Ebony's chest come forward. Ebony Chapman come forward. 25
1:29:41
CR 1847 is called You are Ebony. Chapman.
1:29:54
Yes. Sir, you're charged with so
1:29:57
jail, felony of thought. And because you have at least
1:30:03
three fire theft convictions in county forts law or district
1:30:14
courts, any time you steal a pack of gum, it's a felon from
1:30:18
here on the rest of your life. That's the way things work
1:30:22
because you're you're punished by the circumstances of the
1:30:28
crime and your criminal history. That is always there.
1:30:32
It always factors in. So anytime you any a penny, you
1:30:38
still can be charged as a fat as a theft, a felony theft and
1:30:45
you're looking at at least 180 days in state jail up to two
1:30:50
years in the state jail and it's a felony condition.
1:30:53
You it looks like you have one out of Calcasieu Parish back in
1:30:57
23 and then two county courts of law thefts.
1:31:01
But nonetheless, anytime you commit a theft, it's 7 from here
1:31:05
on. That's the way the law works in
1:31:07
Texas and go ahead. This is her first appearance.
1:31:15
I just visited with her a few minutes ago and she would like a
1:31:18
very short reset, 3 or 4 weeks for us to go over the
1:31:22
information together. We do have an.
1:31:24
Open probation for. Three weeks.
1:31:27
Good. Have a great phone.
1:31:31
Three weeks not to. Be 4.
1:31:36
Got to be 4. OK.
1:31:37
Go back to you stick, please. You can stick around.
1:31:44
You can stick around outside. OK.
1:31:48
You got a quarter sound right there.
1:32:01
Are you representing? Oh no.
1:32:10
Scott Rennicks was hired yesterday.
1:32:12
I believe I'm still. OK.
1:32:16
You're in for Devon Desolone, is that right?
1:32:22
OK, 20 This is cause #26 Co 144. You're charged with a state jail
1:32:30
felony soliciting peace, prostitution.
1:32:32
You know which needs this one needs to be fixed too.
1:32:39
You don't want. This is not the kind of
1:32:44
conviction that you want to carry around the rest of your
1:32:47
life. Now close off a lot of doors of
1:32:51
opportunity. I see something.
1:32:56
Scott Ranik is going to represent you.
1:32:59
We just got this yesterday. Is that right?
1:33:02
Is that what you did? OK.
1:33:05
Mr. Duisler here is a veteran, is a good attorney, but Scott is
1:33:09
too. Sarah seats over 6 7.
1:33:25
Send it there. When you die, you're a see right
1:33:27
here for you to. I didn't say cash.
1:33:34
Is he going to be here as you know?
1:33:36
If you know, I don't think. It's going to.
1:33:40
Be fair, all right? OK.
1:33:43
We've done an initial docket, put it it's going to be an
1:33:46
announcement for him in about four weeks.
1:33:50
Please get a resetting just I need to see him just for a
1:34:01
second Mr. Deslan. All right, let's stay in the
1:34:11
building, but we'll go over and say good morning to Judge West.
1:34:18
Good morning, Miss, could you please raise your right hand?
1:34:20
Do you swear from the you will truthfully and accurately
1:34:23
translate from English to Spanish and Spanish to English?
1:34:26
Thank you. Good morning.
1:34:27
Good morning. Are you Reberto Chavez?
1:34:32
And Mr. Chavez is charged with deadly conduct charging a
1:34:35
firearm and clause #25 DCCR 0559.
1:34:43
And what is the announcement, Judge?
1:34:46
We're still asking for a little more time trying to get through
1:34:49
all the discoveries. And he is, he's here at thank
1:34:56
you. And so there, that makes it a
1:34:59
little more difficult to communicate with him.
1:35:02
So if I could have just a little more time to get through that.
1:35:09
So. What I'll do is one more reset.
1:35:12
This will be the last reset for an announcement.
1:35:15
If there's any issue with visiting at LaSalle or bringing
1:35:20
a computer to show them things, if you'll just get with a a
1:35:24
staff, they can have them brought over and you can visit
1:35:27
with him in the jury room and bring your computer and show
1:35:30
them everything so that we can get that all done before that
1:35:34
next coordinate, we can do that. Thank you.
1:35:36
Appreciate it. Perfect.
1:35:38
So I'll reset it. Just get with them.
1:35:40
There's we've got we're kind of down quite a bit this coming
1:35:43
month. So you'll have some time to go
1:35:45
through that with him. Thank you, Josh.
1:35:46
Yes, ma'am. No, we're going to start.
1:35:55
I think just for time purposes of on that Alan Bell who we
1:36:01
don't have Miss Moffino, Mr. Parker so OK.
1:36:09
Get that pulled up. Hold on.
1:36:09
Should be signed so. I'm going in cause number
1:36:23
1418993. I'm going to take judicial
1:36:26
notice of the ports file. This is Alan Wayne Bell, who was
1:36:32
found not guilty by reason of insanity.
1:36:34
I think back in 2014 or something like that. 15 Mr. Bell
1:36:41
has signed a waiver of appearance for today.
1:36:47
Let's see, that was signed and dated March 18th.
1:36:50
And Mr. Parker, do you agree with going forward with this
1:36:57
hearing without Mr. Bell present?
1:36:58
I do, your honor. All right.
1:37:00
So what I want to do though. So we received a report, well
1:37:07
that's dated February 17th from the rest State Hospital and that
1:37:15
was sent by Doctor Holland. And their recommendation at this
1:37:23
time is that inpatient treatment is no longer indicated at this
1:37:32
time and they have come up with a potential plan for Mr. Bell to
1:37:41
be potentially released to a less restrictive placement.
1:37:48
They sent me that information on what they're recommending.
1:37:53
Hold on just a second. Let me find that this is 30 34
1:38:00
pages long. But it's
1:38:11
sorry. This is just all that judges
1:38:14
then hopes that's good night it for you.
1:38:17
It was a community integration project.
1:38:19
I've got that. Same documentation, Judge.
1:38:21
And what I had intended for today was to have someone from
1:38:29
the placement be here and testify about that specific
1:38:34
placement so that I could get more information.
1:38:38
I'm also would like to potentially done this in the
1:38:42
past and I think maybe might be warranted and want something
1:38:46
like this actually go to the placement.
1:38:50
I've done that with the defense attorney and the prosecutor
1:38:53
before on one where we took a trip and actually looked at it
1:39:00
so that I could get a better feel on whether or not I felt
1:39:03
comfortable with the level of I guess protection and how they're
1:39:11
anyway just what what it looks like so that I would know if I
1:39:17
felt comfortable releasing Mr. Bell to this specific placement.
1:39:22
So since we what I'm going to do now that we've started the
1:39:25
hearing, we have some time constraints, I'm going to hold
1:39:30
and carry the hearing forward. Miss Carter is going to find out
1:39:37
when we can have someone here and we'll have just a hearing,
1:39:42
quick hearing, so that on the record they can say what level
1:39:46
of care it is and how many people they have working there
1:39:49
and the protections that they have if something goes wrong and
1:39:53
he doesn't take medication and all those things.
1:39:55
And then I'll make that decision.
1:39:57
But in the meantime, maybe we can get together and I at least
1:40:02
want to go lay my eyes on the place.
1:40:04
And so if y'all want to take a field trip with me, we'll go do
1:40:07
that and see where it is. And that way everybody has a
1:40:11
little more information before we're arguing for or against it
1:40:14
and things like that. Just for the record, your honor,
1:40:16
they've, they've called me two or three times over the last
1:40:21
this year since January and. Who's that?
1:40:24
The the facility at well where he is now at.
1:40:28
Rusk. Yeah, and and.
1:40:29
Basically, you know, reiterate what you expressed.
1:40:33
And Mr. Bella, he's called me numerous times and I've talked
1:40:37
to him several times and he's like, why am I still here?
1:40:40
You know, he said, why are you still there?
1:40:41
And I said, you know, we're happy hearing.
1:40:43
When I talked to the facility, I, I expressed to him, you know,
1:40:46
I, I can't, I don't, I'm not an expert.
1:40:49
I don't know his condition. I just got to base it off what
1:40:51
they say, but that they need to talk to the court about
1:40:54
coordinating. They need to be at the hearing
1:40:56
or zoom in or something. So.
1:40:58
Well, and what we'll? Do.
1:41:00
Obviously, we have this a very detailed report that they sent
1:41:05
and if anyone would like any of the people that I guess had a
1:41:11
part in that report and examination to make the
1:41:15
determination that he potentially does not need to be
1:41:17
there anymore. If you want any of them, they're
1:41:20
easy to zoom in. And so maybe what we can do is
1:41:23
get them. I think we need to have
1:41:24
everybody that would possibly can and I've been part of what I
1:41:29
did in the past on one of these was actually go to Rusk itself.
1:41:33
And so it is important a lot of people think that.
1:41:38
And there's part of Russ that is very locked down where he is.
1:41:42
And the, the, I can't remember what it's called, the unit that
1:41:47
he's in is literally they could walk out.
1:41:51
There's no fences, there's no locks, there's no anything they,
1:41:54
if you're in that part of it, you're already really easily in
1:42:01
the community if they wanted to be.
1:42:02
And so it was a little eye opening to go there and realize
1:42:06
that it's not such a stretch sometimes for them and they've
1:42:09
been in that. They've been in for a long time.
1:42:11
They were somewhere else in another unit for a long time.
1:42:13
They have to prove things. I sign things all the time for
1:42:17
Mr. Bell and some others to go on community outings.
1:42:20
There haven't been any issues. And so it's, it sounds a little
1:42:24
sometimes scary, but where they are now and that unit that
1:42:28
they're in is extremely, they have rules.
1:42:31
And if you don't follow the rules, you get sent back to the
1:42:33
other party. And so they have a lot of
1:42:35
freedom. And he's been doing well
1:42:37
apparently in that. So let's hold the hearing.
1:42:40
I will set it for in a week or two when everybody's available.
1:42:43
In the meantime, we'll get some more information about that
1:42:45
place. Sure.
1:42:45
All right. Thanks.
1:42:58
Miss Perazzo on Trailing Hill. Morning, Judge.
1:43:06
Morning. Don't need to look at it
1:43:16
anymore. I've got the.
1:43:19
I've got. Here's your coffee.
1:43:21
I forgot to get back to you yesterday.
1:43:23
Were you going to say roses are red?
1:43:25
It's their coffee. Please tell me that we're ready
1:43:29
to go ahead and get it set for this one.
1:43:32
So. Good.
1:43:51
Morning. You're trailing Hill Good.
1:43:54
And so I'm going to take judicial notice of the court's
1:43:58
file. The last time we were here, we
1:44:02
wanted to double check and make sure that there were not issues
1:44:05
with regard to competency based on some of the behavior and
1:44:09
things that Mister Hill was doing and saying.
1:44:11
And so we had Doctor Rapan do a competency evaluation.
1:44:17
I received that report dated January 24th of this year and in
1:44:22
that report the finding as that Mister Hill is competent in
1:44:26
stand trial. Is there any other evidence with
1:44:28
regard to competency? No, Your Honor.
1:44:30
None in regard to competency. All right, then at this time,
1:44:32
based on that report, I am going to find Mr. Hill competent to
1:44:35
stand trial. Miss Parrazo, it is, I know you
1:44:39
are a little newer on the case. We've gone through some
1:44:41
attorneys, but it is time for either a trial or a plea.
1:44:44
So I need to know today if you want to visit with him in the
1:44:46
back real quick, whatever the latest offer is, if he wants to
1:44:50
reject that, we'll get it set on the very next trial docket.
1:44:53
If not, I want it taken care of this.
1:44:54
Yes, ma'am. I'll hold it.
1:44:57
That's it. I'll hold that.
1:44:59
All right, go back at the bailiff, OK?
1:45:03
I'll. Give you a chance that's.
1:45:08
Let's see, we have Thaddeus McRae.
1:45:30
So we have. Now, the new indictment.
1:45:33
OK. And so we had the bond hearing
1:45:39
on right already all right or no?
1:45:43
Well it was I don't remember that for today before he was
1:45:47
indicted, I was what about a motion that have a lot that and
1:45:51
then in the meantime there he was indicted and so I followed a
1:45:55
motion for a bond reduction. OK.
1:45:57
And is that in both cases, or this the and the the newly
1:46:02
united case? Set bond.
1:46:05
I believe in the we. Have already we have not and so
1:46:09
in the murder or in the MTRP, MTRP.
1:46:12
And so I don't know if that's going to be.
1:46:14
Entitled to a bond because it's a deferred and then a bond
1:46:18
should have already been set in the murder.
1:46:21
All right, so you're Thaddeus McRae.
1:46:23
And so Mr. McRae, in clause number 2138959 has a motion to
1:46:30
revoke his probation, the offensive underlying offensive
1:46:34
aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury.
1:46:37
And then we have clause #26 BCCR 0399, which is the new
1:46:43
indictment charging Mr. McRae with the offensive murder.
1:46:47
Miss Brazo has filed a motion asking that I reduce the bond in
1:46:50
the murder case. And while we're here, we
1:46:52
obviously need to talk about a bond being set in the MTRP case
1:46:58
as well. And so the bond in the murder
1:47:04
new indictment, it's set at $1.5 million and then there's no bond
1:47:11
in that NTRP, is that correct? All right, are you Mr. Mccrae,
1:47:15
best you can raise your right hand.
1:47:17
You swear, affirm. The testimony you're going to
1:47:19
give in this hearing will be the truth, the whole truth and
1:47:21
nothing but the truth. Thank you, Miss Prazo, you may
1:47:24
proceed. Would you say your name for the
1:47:26
record? And we're here today on motion
1:47:31
to reduce your bond that's currently set at 1.5 million to
1:47:34
$50,000. Is that correct?
1:47:38
Yes, ma'am. If the court were to reduce your
1:47:42
bond, do you have any assets that even failed to make money
1:47:50
to possibly make your bond? Is there?
1:47:53
Do you have any means of making that bond that were reduced to
1:47:56
$50,000? Possibly.
1:48:00
OK, could you explain? Like just car, like I was just
1:48:04
renting things like this. So a person I don't.
1:48:06
Like the whole. House or anything like that
1:48:08
might do it on my. Speak up.
1:48:10
I'm sorry, I have to hear you. And so does the court report.
1:48:13
I don't own the house or anything.
1:48:15
I was ready, but I do. Own my.
1:48:17
Car. Do you have?
1:48:19
So it'd be my like my own means. And then my.
1:48:22
Other assets like clothes and stuff like that so.
1:48:25
What about family members? Do you have any family members
1:48:28
that could potentially help you social bond?
1:48:31
This is the possibility. And are you asking the court if
1:48:37
you replace it if, if the court does reduce your bond that may
1:48:42
be placed on hostile arrest or have AGP distracting device that
1:48:46
would only allow you to leave your house for meetings with me,
1:48:51
your attorney or medical purposes?
1:48:56
Yes, ma'am. Where do you where would you be
1:48:59
residing that relates that my bond if that were to happen or
1:49:07
would you reside well? Likely I have to.
1:49:11
Check my. Is that the only?
1:49:15
Place that you would. Go now.
1:49:17
But I know, friend, I know he's real busy.
1:49:22
They both stay in Houston, so technically right now I can take
1:49:27
with some other family members. I know they all work and
1:49:30
everything and I have to talk to them first.
1:49:32
I just can't say yes. And and boys into their homeown
1:49:35
welcome. Now these family members, are
1:49:37
they within Jefferson County? Yes.
1:49:41
And who are the family members? Sisters so.
1:49:47
You have a sister that is here locally.
1:49:49
Yes, and I'm in. Dallas, What is your sister's
1:49:52
name? I'm so I'm having a really good
1:50:01
show. Here.
1:50:02
And yes, that's one of them. Thank you.
1:50:05
And what is supposed? To know.
1:50:07
Her last name? Where does she?
1:50:13
Do you happen to know her? Address.
1:50:15
How about she's down the West? Have you been in contact with
1:50:20
her recently? I talked to him and I got here.
1:50:23
My father passed. I haven't really spent so much
1:50:27
time on the phone unless it was like when my.
1:50:30
Good. Friend and I haven't had that
1:50:32
much money to. Put him on the phone.
1:50:33
So I mean, I was standing into our P base, so it was really
1:50:38
nothing for me to keep in contact with.
1:50:42
OK. That's all I have.
1:50:44
Your Honor. Any questions of the witnesses
1:50:47
from Smith? Andrew.
1:50:49
Any other witnesses with regard to the bonds?
1:50:51
No, Your Honor, I am, for the record, taking a look at the
1:50:57
COGS affidavit and the new case. So give me just a second to to
1:51:01
go through that. Mr. Smith, what is the State's
1:51:36
position with regard to a bond in each of the cases?
1:51:41
I believe that the bond in the murder case is not set too high
1:51:46
and I believe that he is entitled to a bond in the MTRP
1:51:50
because it's a deferred probation.
1:51:52
But we would ask that a high bond be set in that I believe
1:51:55
Mr. We will be seeking to stack these cases, punishment in those
1:52:02
cases. So we would believe that he will
1:52:05
be in prison for significant period of time after he
1:52:08
committed the murder. He did flee the jurisdiction and
1:52:13
was located in Houston. Do you know how long how long
1:52:19
that was from the time? It was, I don't exactly, I don't
1:52:26
remember. It was several days or more.
1:52:31
Give me just a second. I'm looking back now at the
1:52:34
previous precedence report. So just to get an idea of what
1:52:37
the underlying, hang on just a second.
1:52:44
If you apologize, this is the case.
1:52:45
We were in trial on the sexual assault and we, the state, had
1:52:51
rested. When the state rested, the
1:52:53
defense wanted to recall the victim, yes.
1:52:56
And the victim we were unable to locate to bring back.
1:52:59
OK. And so that was the reason that
1:53:01
he pled to the aggravated assault rather than was
1:53:04
sentenced by the jury to the sexual assault.
1:53:07
Got you. Honor, if I can allow Mr. McRae
1:53:14
to respond to the fact that or statement that he was in
1:53:18
Houston, if I may. Sure.
1:53:22
OK. I was.
1:53:22
I was never in Houston. I never left.
1:53:25
This jurisdiction I was I was found at my ex's house the next
1:53:29
day. I never left.
1:53:30
And on Euclid. Yes, I know we left.
1:53:32
OK, so for me to flee never left and.
1:53:35
That is, that is correct, Your Honor.
1:53:37
He was arrested at Euclid and there was, you know, some stuff
1:53:42
that were taken after that to search the resume, right, so
1:53:47
forth. But it's my understanding from
1:53:49
that point, which was either the next day or within a few days,
1:53:55
he was apprehended there. OK.
1:53:58
I think you have some misinformation on that maybe or?
1:54:02
There was some info I don't have the file with the.
1:54:04
Judge, kind of there was AI. Just remember some reading that
1:54:07
he they had suspected that he had been in Houston.
1:54:11
But now that I think about it, we have found a motorcycle that
1:54:16
was used in the murder. There's no.
1:54:19
There's no. You're thinking of a.
1:54:21
Different. You're thinking of a different
1:54:22
case. That's the other case I've got
1:54:25
said. Apologize.
1:54:26
Yeah, I'm getting. Confused.
1:54:27
OK, you don't. Do you have your file in this?
1:54:32
Case it's I don't have it down here, it's upstairs.
1:54:44
OK. So
1:54:57
on the open state, OK, Your Honor, also?
1:55:02
If I if. I may allow Mr. McRae to speak
1:55:06
about yes, since the underlying offense for him being placed on
1:55:10
deferred adjudication, there were some allegations made as to
1:55:14
what happened that he would like the court to be aware of and I
1:55:18
wasn't part of that. That's all done on probation
1:55:21
court in order to plead guilty to the aggravated assault.
1:55:24
I was there. Listen to the trial.
1:55:26
I don't I don't need any other information on that.
1:55:28
So in cause number 213855 959, I'm sorry, which is the motion
1:55:38
to revoke unadjudicated probation, I'm going to set the
1:55:41
bond in that case at $400,000. Condition of that bond if made
1:55:49
is that Mister McRae would be on house arrest with AGPS
1:55:52
monitoring device that obviously have to have an address locally
1:55:57
where he would be. And then in clause #26 DCCR
1:56:03
0399, I'm going to 2nd, I'm going to grant the motion to
1:56:26
reduce the bond. I'm going to reduce the bond and
1:56:31
26 DCCR 0399 two $1 million condition of that bond also if
1:56:38
made a condition of that bond if made also is that you would have
1:56:46
fired to be on house arrest where GPS monitoring device will
1:56:50
get the case set for an announcement.
1:56:52
Obviously make sure I'm sure there's a lot of discovery.
1:56:57
Has all of that already been turned over?
1:56:59
Is there anything missing? I believe that we have received
1:57:02
everything. I'm in the process of reviewing
1:57:04
it. It's quite voluminous.
1:57:07
So, all right, it's something comes up all at the court now.
1:57:10
All right, Mr. Mccrab. Sure.
1:57:11
Miss Prazo, be out there to start going over the discovery
1:57:13
with you so that we can see about getting an announcement
1:57:17
which way your case will go at the next court date.
1:57:20
All right, you can go back with the bailiff.
1:57:21
Thank you. All right, friends, in our
1:57:26
continuing efforts to provide you with 9 to 11% more Judge
1:57:29
Boyd, here you go. Hey.
1:57:35
I'm here because. Oh, you're on this side.
1:57:37
We'll figure out what's going on.
1:57:38
OK. Hello.
1:57:42
How are you doing today? I got these two things.
1:57:47
I don't know if that helps you judge from the probation office.
1:57:56
Thank you everyone. We good.
1:58:05
All right. So on this one, do we does he
1:58:07
owe any restitution does because it says on to be determined on
1:58:15
both of those. I will be with the office to see
1:58:18
if letters have been sent out and so forth.
1:58:21
The issues that we're having on one of his cases, he was placed
1:58:26
on probation for two, I mean different adjudication for two
1:58:30
years that 2 users want to be up in July of this year.
1:58:37
There are still some outstanding things that he needs plead
1:58:42
defensive driving, GED and then he just hasn't been in overall
1:58:47
compliance with his UA. We have not had AUA since July
1:58:54
of last year and you're doing AUA today.
1:58:58
What's the result going to be? All.
1:59:01
Right. Why are you not doing your UA?
1:59:04
Do you want to go to prison? The range of punishment on these
1:59:08
cases On the case ending in 8-9, the range of punishment is up to
1:59:12
10 years in the prison. Do you want to go to prison?
1:59:16
The other range of punishment on the case ending in 00 is up to
1:59:20
two years in the state jail facility.
1:59:22
If you get sentenced to two years in the state jail
1:59:24
facility, that's day for day. Do you understand?
1:59:28
Do you want to go to prison? Then you had better find time.
1:59:32
And this thing about you're just not doing it.
1:59:34
Why are you not doing it? All right, so let me just tell
1:59:39
you, this is the last conversation we're going to have
1:59:41
about this. The next conversation we have,
1:59:45
if we have one, in regards to you're not reporting for your
1:59:48
UAS, you're not making payments towards your financial
1:59:53
obligations. What's going to end up
1:59:55
happening? I'm going to see this.
1:59:56
There's not going to be a compliance hearing.
1:59:58
They're going to ask me what should be done.
2:00:00
You see where that other is checked.
2:00:01
I'm going to put file MTR and then what will end up happening?
2:00:06
If a motion to revoke is filed, you'll end up being taken into
2:00:09
custody. Police will arrest you wherever
2:00:11
you may be. If you're about to have dinner,
2:00:14
they'll arrest you right there. If you're in line to pick up
2:00:17
your children, they'll arrest you in line if they find you
2:00:19
there. And then you will be taken to
2:00:21
the Bayer County Jail. You either make bond or not make
2:00:23
bond. You'll either hire an attorney
2:00:26
or one will be appointed for you.
2:00:27
And we were here with a motion to revoke.
2:00:29
And then if the allegations in the motion to revoke are found
2:00:32
true, you're looking at potentially 10 years in one case
2:00:36
and two in the other. Do you understand you are not to
2:00:39
miss another UA testing. Do you understand?
2:00:45
And you're going to provide AUA today, any very nice judge, the
2:00:51
CSO is asking for his conditions to amend to be amended to
2:00:57
include the IVR hotline for 60 days, complete the aggressive
2:01:02
driving course and enroll in his GD courses within 30 days.
2:01:09
All right. Are you currently employed?
2:01:11
No. No the.
2:01:12
Southern. Park No.
2:01:14
I'm certainly employed. Doing what?
2:01:16
Mechanical. So I don't even understand why
2:01:19
you can't make these appointments, because if you're
2:01:21
self-employed, you make your own hours.
2:01:24
On the driving when I'm doing that.
2:01:26
I'm sorry. I already enrolled in the
2:01:29
driving. The defensive driving, all
2:01:31
right, then you need to provide them proof of that because they
2:01:33
don't have proof of that. And if you don't provide them
2:01:36
proof, you might as well not have done it.
2:01:38
All right, you understand. And complete it.
2:01:40
Yes, Sir. And what is the issue with the
2:01:42
GED? I'm still.
2:01:44
Looking into one of the schools, See.
2:01:46
If I could get enrolled. All right, so here's the thing
2:01:49
with the GED, I'm going to give him a choice.
2:01:51
He can either do the GED or go to a trade school, do something
2:01:55
to improve his lot in life. Because I realized that
2:01:59
sometimes the GED is more difficult for people.
2:02:04
Well, I mean, sometimes it's difficult because they I think
2:02:07
they want you to do math. You know what I think I should
2:02:09
do, Vashon, before I leave, I should make defense attorneys
2:02:14
take the GED test and see if any of them will pass.
2:02:19
All right, so you're going to alternate main conditions.
2:02:24
It's going to be the IVR hotline or either you can do the patch
2:02:30
and you're going to provide them proof of your enrollment in the
2:02:34
defensive driving course. Do you understand?
2:02:38
Yes, ma'am. And you're going to take AUA
2:02:40
today. All right, the IVR hotline.
2:02:43
How often do you want 10 tested? Once a week, 60 days.
2:02:49
Let's do 30 and see how he does. I don't want to interfere with
2:02:54
other things he has to complete. The important thing is you have
2:02:58
to finish that because your probation is running out and
2:03:00
this judge will revoke you. You understand?
2:03:04
Yes, Sir. All right.
2:03:06
Thank you, Mr. Selav. Thank you.
2:03:08
I'll talk to the coordinator. That's why I was going to ask,
2:03:14
but what do you call it? Just put it down as a motion to
2:03:17
revoke hearing. OK, let's let's go back up to
2:03:24
Michigan and Judge McNally. The smoker guy is still sitting
2:03:27
there. Let's see if they do something
2:03:29
with him. 268841826 Morning, Sir.
2:03:36
Come on. Your name.
2:03:38
I think they will come on. So they charge you with 75 and a
2:03:41
70, they think you were going 87 and a 70.
2:03:44
They're going to allow you to plead to impeding.
2:03:46
Is that what you want to do? That's zero points.
2:03:49
It won't go on your record. Do you understand that?
2:03:52
To that charge of impeding traffic, responsible or not
2:03:55
responsible, please Accepted 155 cash your end of the hall to
2:04:00
your right and you're all set. That's the luck, dude.
2:04:02
All right. Do I have everybody ready to go
2:04:05
on James Martin? James Craig Martin, 24-B714583
2:04:12
Sir, your name. You got to unmute, Sir.
2:04:20
I believe he's he met with Mr. Hain.
2:04:23
Yeah, I'm following right now. You have to unmute in the bottom
2:04:26
left hand corner of your device there Sir.
2:04:35
What? Is that?
2:04:36
OK. Yes, Sir.
2:04:38
Steve, tell me your name. Thank you, Your Honor.
2:04:42
James Kirk Martin. We are going to get your lawyer
2:04:46
in here right now, and I will have a hearing on this.
2:04:51
OK. I'm sorry you pled.
2:04:53
Just wait till he comes in. We've called him.
2:05:01
Sorry. My grandson just woke up.
2:05:06
You're fine. He's a bright star in my life.
2:05:24
Good morning, Mr. Haynes. It's better to call.
2:05:28
This is Mr. James Craig Martin. This is the moving violation
2:05:32
causing death. 24-B7 O 4583. OK, Your name Mr. Haines.
2:05:41
Mr. Martin. Tell me your name again, Sir,
2:05:44
please. James Craig Martin.
2:05:47
He pled guilty to failure to complete the community service
2:05:50
that was the alleged to have been 80 hours by N1 at 25.
2:05:55
I took his plea and on January 15th I adjourned the sentence to
2:06:03
March 31. This has quite a history to it.
2:06:07
He absconded after the plea was taken but before the sentencing
2:06:12
and and gave him 120 days jail. I think I gave him 40 then and
2:06:21
70 out on house arrest and also said he had to do 10 days of
2:06:26
community service. Your name?
2:06:28
So that is the charge he pled guilty.
2:06:30
How? What would you like to tell me
2:06:32
on his behalf? Looks like even though he
2:06:36
offended it until spent 20/20/30, he didn't actually get
2:06:39
sentence till April 8th of 2025 because he absconded.
2:06:43
Still has some time with him. He's indicated he's got some
2:06:47
severe health issues the last few months.
2:06:50
All right, hang on, hang on, hang on.
2:06:52
You guys got to take? The phones out of the courtroom.
2:06:54
Come on guys, you can't. Who was it for?
2:06:56
Sure. Who is that?
2:06:57
Your phone going on. It was 200 glasses, wasn't he?
2:07:00
Who's phone with them? Whose phone just rang?
2:07:04
Come on guys. Whose?
2:07:05
Phone ran what? Well, take it out signs all over
2:07:09
the door. Outside.
2:07:11
Yep. I never liked the idea of
2:07:17
letting phones in here. Supreme Court told us we had to.
2:07:22
They're supposed to be muted. We tell them that they still
2:07:25
come in here with the phones ringing every day.
2:07:31
At least a couple, it seems like.
2:07:35
All right. I'm sorry I interrupted you.
2:07:37
You started to say he's had serious health issues.
2:07:40
I believe I could be wrong about this.
2:07:43
I think I adjourned the sentencing to for 2 1/2 months
2:07:47
so he could complete it because of health issues.
2:07:50
Am I right or wrong? That would track him if that
2:07:54
would make sense, but still. Haven't done enough?
2:07:56
Health issues are all recently started to resolve.
2:07:59
He had anything, he could have everything done by him first.
2:08:02
Well, remember, we're not asking them to walk up and down the
2:08:07
streets and pick up papers. These are sedentary jobs.
2:08:10
Do you have something more substantial?
2:08:12
Did we receive any medical records?
2:08:14
I haven't received any current medical records he.
2:08:16
Did send me. Medical records in the past I I
2:08:19
do. Believe that he.
2:08:19
Does have some health issues, I'm not discounting that, but I
2:08:22
did give them two locations to go to, both that I know would.
2:08:25
Help with sedentary. Work which is fish and loaves in
2:08:27
Victory Gym. I have to report.
2:08:29
That he's completed any hour, so I'm not sure where we're at when
2:08:31
it goes. Mr. Martin and you were the 1 I
2:08:39
just told not to be smoking if you got some health issues.
2:08:43
I'm not your physician, but what are you smoking for?
2:08:47
Nervous. I smoke, I'm nervous.
2:08:50
A few cigarettes a day compared to 2 packs a day a few years
2:08:56
ago. Why are you not doing the
2:08:59
community service? Did you hear what Miss
2:09:01
O'Donnell? I just haven't felt well I put
2:09:04
it, I wanted to put it off till it was warmer just to be honest
2:09:09
and I just haven't felt long enough to do it and I ran out of
2:09:13
time. I paid for the, the the course,
2:09:19
the decision based driving. I paid for that, but I still
2:09:25
have to do it because they only do it every three months.
2:09:29
I scheduled that a few weeks ago and I, I placed you on probation
2:09:35
in April of 25 April the 8th. Why is it?
2:09:40
Why is it taking you so long to do everything?
2:09:42
I mean, I gave you until November 1st probably again
2:09:49
because of the health issues, the complete 80 hours of
2:09:54
community service and you and you had till N1, then you didn't
2:09:58
do it. Then we show caused you, then
2:10:00
we're in here in January. I gave you a 2 1/2 months before
2:10:06
I would sentence you. She tells me she sent you to two
2:10:08
different places that she's confident you could have done
2:10:11
the work at. You still haven't done it.
2:10:16
Where she at your office. Where's your medical records?
2:10:20
Have you sent us An I could, yeah.
2:10:22
You guys told my medical records.
2:10:24
From from in the past. But in.
2:10:32
The last couple of months around here, I just.
2:10:33
Want you to know I just filed for Social Security and not
2:10:38
feeling well. It's probably something you hear
2:10:40
a lot, but I just, I don't know who's talking in the background,
2:10:47
but they can't talk and tell you what to say.
2:10:49
That's not going to. I don't feel good.
2:10:53
Just blends them, but just don't feel well.
2:10:57
My heart hurts the whole time. OK, I did contact fishing.
2:11:09
Well, when did you contact? When did you contact fish and
2:11:15
loaves? They were probably Saturday, I
2:11:18
think. Because you knew you had this
2:11:21
coming up, right? Well, of course I wanted to at
2:11:24
least pay for it. I think that's the wrong 1.
2:11:31
Heather, give me a date the first week of May please.
2:11:47
Sorry judge, I was muted May 6th.
2:11:50
May 6th at 8:30 in the morning. I'm going to expect you to have
2:11:54
that done if you have, if you want to go to a doctor and get
2:11:58
us proof within the next 3 or 4 business days that that the
2:12:02
doctor's telling us you cannot do the the sedentary work.
2:12:06
If any of the two suggested places by Miss O'Donnell, I'll
2:12:11
be more than happy to give you more time.
2:12:15
OK, so you better go to your physician real quick and get us
2:12:19
the medical records in a report saying you can't do the
2:12:23
sedentary work at Fish and Loaves or where's the other one?
2:12:26
Victory, Jim? No problem.
2:12:28
I don't want you to do anything that's going to jeopardize your
2:12:31
health, but it seems like you're putting it off, so that's what
2:12:34
I'm going to do. May the 6th, 8:30.
2:12:36
I'll expect it done. Unless you get US medical
2:12:38
records here in the next few days and you request a hearing.
2:12:42
OK for an extension. Do we understand one another?
2:12:46
Yes, Your Honor. All right.
2:12:47
Good luck to you. Thank you.
2:12:49
Thank you. All right, Derek Tan, Bill.
2:12:53
Different. And now we know the story of
2:12:56
Smoker Man. He doesn't feel well.
2:13:00
He always hurts. His heart hurts, and he has
2:13:05
excuses for everything. Pretty standard, really.
2:13:08
Looks like Ashley's going to follow him.
2:13:10
So we'll we'll keep track of him in the future.
2:13:13
Let's go back to Texas, Judge Stevens.
2:13:38
Thank you planning as well today I.
2:13:50
Mean many. One offensive Are you going
2:13:52
behind? You can never know a second.
2:14:43
Can't make some of this stuff up because it's looks like.
2:15:02
Now on OK, we've got 2667 and 26 CR 408-2667 is an indictment
2:15:12
handed up by the grand jury on January 14th of this year.
2:15:17
And then the second one comes about on March 18th of this
2:15:22
year. He's hosting a bond in the 2667
2:15:32
is supposed to move on on 1/28/26, but the second event is
2:15:39
occurring on January 11th, which would have been two weeks
2:15:43
before. Yes.
2:15:44
Sir. So I don't I disagree.
2:15:58
Yeah, I don't disagree that it's the same victim.
2:16:04
Well, it might stop. A warrant was issued for him,
2:16:15
his arrest on January 14th, and that was three days after the
2:16:19
second offensive, third yesterday in January.
2:16:21
I'll be having to ignore it. That's OK.
2:16:25
Or any. OK, all right, so let's get this
2:16:30
straight. Look like I can't believe it's
2:16:33
not butter. Look, if you know what you did,
2:16:36
you know you know you know. What?
2:16:39
You think you're going to commit?
2:16:40
A crime and there's not going to be a war.
2:16:41
Issue for you you've been charged with stalking in the
2:16:44
second case and don't don't I'm just trying to so you've got 26
2:16:52
CR 67. This is an indictment or assault
2:16:57
family violence which alleges that on or about November 25th
2:17:02
of 2025 you caused bodily injury to a member of your family and
2:17:11
it does, it's a member of family household or in a dating
2:17:17
relationship and it is the dating relationship.
2:17:25
So according to cause after failure.
2:17:27
But this indictment also says on
2:17:47
December 8th of 2017 in this court you were convicted of
2:17:52
assault involving family violence.
2:17:55
And the next paragraph of this indictment also states that you
2:18:01
were finally convicted of assault on a family, a family
2:18:05
member, a third degree felony on September 12th of 2018.
2:18:10
In this case in this court, that's a different cause number.
2:18:15
So this third degree felony in 26 CR 67 is now bumped up to a
2:18:24
second degree felony punishment because of your prior conviction
2:18:27
for assault on a family member. So you're looking at 20 years in
2:18:32
Christmas. I've only got a number.
2:18:35
We're going to go to the second of math.
2:18:38
Then January 11th you're charged with the third degree felony of
2:18:45
a stalking and that prior 2018 conviction in this court is
2:18:54
alleged assault on a family member.
2:18:57
And so this third degree felony also becomes a second degree
2:19:01
felony function. So that's 40 years you're
2:19:03
looking at in prison. No, this is not a debate.
2:19:08
It's what they what the grand jury indicted you on on.
2:19:12
So they indicted you on an event that occurred which states that
2:19:19
with the intent to harass, annoy a law, abuse, torment or
2:19:22
embarrass the other personal. You made repeated phone calls
2:19:27
and electronic communications to the complainant, which was an
2:19:31
attempt to was only intended to harass, annoy, abuse and
2:19:36
torment. Repeatedly ring and
2:19:41
electronically notify that causes somebody alarms and they
2:19:52
would feel harassed, annoyed, alarmed, abused, tormented,
2:19:54
embarrassed and offended any lady.
2:19:57
Would you need to start acting like a a man, a gentleman, a man
2:20:07
not tormenting women. That never played out well when
2:20:13
I grew up picking on girls. It needs that.
2:20:21
Start acting manually. So you're looking at 40 years in
2:20:25
prison in all of this series. Couple of things.
2:20:30
What are your bonds in this process?
2:20:36
I see a $30,000 bond and one of them first.
2:20:43
There's there's all the warrant, a bond having said.
2:20:46
Oh. OK.
2:20:47
That's the warrant. So you're going to be taking
2:20:49
into custody here because there's a warrant for your
2:20:52
arrest on this second indictment of stalking.
2:20:55
I was trying to figure out when was when was that of January
2:20:59
11th? Is when that occurred on or
2:21:02
about January 11th. The other one is on or about
2:21:04
November 25th. Indictment dropped.
2:21:11
What do you mean Handed down on March 18th, 2 weeks ago.
2:21:19
All right. Thank.
2:21:25
You all right so here we said this yes, sure is too and also
2:21:32
for an announcement in in a four weeks.
2:21:37
He also advised me this morning that he's working hiring an
2:21:40
attorney in Houston representing.
2:21:42
So I think for all this should be appropriate to take care of
2:21:46
all that and stand by. Yes.
2:23:10
What you look important that we found on the cost from the
2:23:13
start. What's the date of this public?
2:23:18
Oh, November 25th. OK, that's the original charge
2:23:22
check. OK, so a file clause affidavit,
2:23:28
they've been filed on November 25th on that first case, the day
2:23:37
it apparently the day it happened, the police
2:23:42
investigated it and then wrote a report.
2:23:46
Thank you. You see on the stocking this day
2:23:51
on February 11th, there was a lot issued from him on November
2:23:57
25th, warrant on the on February 25th.
2:24:08
I'm sorry. November 25th.
2:24:10
November 25th, he was arrested. OK, They have a note to me, Sir.
2:24:59
Speak folks about it was something January 28th, but we
2:25:07
had already there was a case already filed this may or may
2:25:12
not have known about it, but nonetheless, what's his?
2:25:19
Is there a bond pending on this 2640 end?
2:25:23
No bond one has not been said. About the warrants of bending.
2:25:27
Aye. It's up to you.
2:25:28
You're all. I will.
2:25:29
I will. Advise on the first matter,
2:25:32
there is a no contact and then detective order is actually in
2:25:37
place as to both calls numbers and AGPS device was ordered on
2:25:43
him as to condition bond on the $30,000 bond on 0067.
2:25:50
But that was all. Absolutely.
2:25:57
This second event alright. Yes, Sir.
2:26:00
OK. Yes, Sir.
2:26:02
So I don't I don't have any evidence to suggest that that's
2:26:06
not working. But at the same point in time, I
2:26:08
want to ask that the board consider the appropriate on that
2:26:12
Your Honor feels is proper it's 30 but but to make sure that
2:26:17
it's the same conditions of the GPS device and the no contact
2:26:21
exists from Florida. All right.
2:26:23
When was 30th? Yes, Sir.
2:26:24
Yes, Sir. You're.
2:26:27
Going to be. Taken into custody, there's a
2:26:29
warrant for your arrest. Bond is $30,000 on this second
2:26:33
as well. Once again, you, you can't
2:26:37
commit crimes, felony crimes, especially involving a situation
2:26:43
like this, this relationship and also you must have AGPS device
2:26:50
that you have have no, this is the most important thing.
2:26:55
No contact with this person, the victim, nor anyone on your
2:27:00
behalf. That's what I'm trying to feel.
2:27:03
It's not as debate, just listen. Nor anyone on your debate on
2:27:08
your behalf contact. I don't want to find out.
2:27:11
The Diggy's office will tell me if you attempt to contact or
2:27:15
somebody on your behalf, then we'll race you in here as fast
2:27:19
as possible. Your bond will see revoke and
2:27:21
you can sit out in the county jail until these two cases of
2:27:26
where you're looking at 40 years imprisonment on both of these
2:27:30
together yet disposed that you understand those are the
2:27:33
marching orders and they will be firmly built.
2:27:36
In one. One matter.
2:27:37
Since the the. Courted order agps device on him
2:27:42
prior to this things when we affirm that he actually has it
2:27:45
in place. You have the GPS on you.
2:27:50
On your ankle. Thank you, Judge.
2:27:52
I appreciate that. Always, always has to be
2:27:55
monitored at all times. You just don't wear it.
2:27:57
It also has to be monitored through a a We've had somebody
2:28:02
shows the device, but it wasn't being monitored.
2:28:06
And when that happens, that's just like you don't have a
2:28:09
device and if you pull a stunt like that.
2:28:12
You'll go Jay all. Right, get a resetting also done
2:28:18
what 4 weeks? 4 weeks, yeah.
2:28:20
OK, yeah, give this. To me, all righty friends, about
2:28:26
45 minutes to go again doing a three hour show today instead of
2:28:30
four. Let's let's do something
2:28:32
different. Let's go back to the 14th
2:28:36
Circuit in Florida. But this is Bay County first
2:28:39
appearances with Judge Tracy Smith, who I personally have not
2:28:43
seen before. On the record this morning, good
2:28:53
morning everybody. It is March 31st, 2026 and we
2:28:58
are here for first appearances. I see some attorneys in the room
2:29:01
with me as well as some other individuals.
2:29:04
So if the person that you were here for once, they are on the
2:29:08
screen when you see them, if you will get my attention or my
2:29:11
bailiffs attention. If there is something you would
2:29:14
like to say in regards to Bond, not about the facts of the case
2:29:17
or anything that happened, but in regards to Bond, get our
2:29:20
attention and we will listen to you at that time.
2:29:25
All right. Good morning.
2:29:26
I see, Mr. Griffith, I've got the State Attorney's office in
2:29:29
the room with me. Good morning, Miss Vanbro.
2:29:32
Good morning. All right.
2:29:34
Who do we have first, ma'am? State your name, Sir.
2:29:37
Just Duggar. Good morning, Mr. Duggar.
2:29:40
You're here for your first appearance after being arrested
2:29:44
for the second degree felony of lewd and lascivious conduct by a
2:29:48
person 18 years of age or older. You're also here this morning
2:29:53
for your first appearance after being arrested for the life
2:29:56
felony offense of lewd or lascivious, lewd or lascivious
2:29:59
molestation. By President.
2:30:02
Offender over the age of 18 years of age and a victim under
2:30:06
the age of 12. It's my understanding, Sir, that
2:30:10
you were given a copy of your paperwork and advised of your
2:30:13
rights at the jail. Is that correct?
2:30:15
Yes, that's right. All right, Sir, I reviewed the
2:30:23
application that you filled out and it says that you do not want
2:30:28
the court to appoint an attorney to represent you.
2:30:31
So I will not do so at this time, Sir.
2:30:34
But if you have a change in circumstances, you can fill out
2:30:37
another application for the court then.
2:30:40
OK, Sir. OK.
2:30:42
Thank you. And Mr. Saline, are you here
2:30:46
this morning on behalf of Mr. Duggar?
2:30:48
Yes, Your Honor, I represent Mr. Duggar in this matter.
2:30:51
Your honor of the family is asking for the most reasonable
2:30:54
bond. The court is inclined instead.
2:30:56
It's not understanding it has no prior criminal history
2:30:58
whatsoever speeding ticket. His father has well town on
2:31:03
Saturday and is here in in our community ready to post a bond
2:31:07
if the court is inclined to issue such.
2:31:11
So we're asking most reasonable or is comfortable in studying
2:31:15
and has to be treated as fairly as as anyone else would,
2:31:20
regardless of his status in the television industry.
2:31:25
Mr. Stalling, are you representing Mr. Duggar for
2:31:27
first appearance purposes or through the duration of the
2:31:29
case, Sir? Through the duration, Your
2:31:31
Honor. All right, anything from the
2:31:32
State Attorney's office. Yes, Your Honor, good morning.
2:31:35
We're asking for a substantial monetary bottom of this case.
2:31:37
It's a serious charge against the child.
2:31:40
We ask that there will be a no contact laced with the victim as
2:31:43
well as no supervised any miners.
2:31:46
Mr. Duggar, even though he doesn't have a criminal history,
2:31:48
has no ties to the community. The alleged facts here was that
2:31:51
he was just on vacation and stayed here a short period of
2:31:53
time. Same ability to come here a
2:31:55
short period of time allows them to leave quickly as well.
2:31:58
So no ties to the community. So we ask for a substantial bond
2:32:01
under nine O 346 factors you're allowed to consider to make sure
2:32:05
he appears in court. All right.
2:32:08
And another judge determined there was probable cause for
2:32:11
your arrest by signing of the warrants.
2:32:14
Miss Bamberg, do you have any criminal history, ma'am?
2:32:17
We may show a child in Danes. We're being in false
2:32:19
imprisonment out of Arkansas this year.
2:32:27
Your Honor, I believe though the charges that may still be
2:32:29
pending, as you know, he has another family member that was
2:32:32
arrested for the same circumstance.
2:32:34
I don't think those have been resolved in light of him coming
2:32:37
here. Mr. Saline, I'm I'm not, I'm not
2:32:39
aware of anything else, Sir. I'm just here this morning on
2:32:42
Mr. on Mr. Joseph Duggar's case. So, so Miss Fanberg, you show
2:32:47
those as open, you said out of the state of Arkansas.
2:32:50
I don't show the disposition. I show that they were charged.
2:32:53
OK. That is, that's correct.
2:32:56
They're pending charges in Arkansas at this time.
2:33:08
All right, Mr. Duggar, I'm going to set your bond amount this
2:33:10
morning in the lewd or lascivious conduct charge at
2:33:15
$100,000. I'm going to set your bond
2:33:18
amount in the lewd or lascivious molestation charge, which is a
2:33:22
like felony. 1/2 a million. Dollars, it's a total of
2:33:26
$600,000 bond. So you're going to have some
2:33:29
other conditions as well. Sir.
2:33:32
You were ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim.
2:33:35
That means directly, indirectly through a third party or social
2:33:39
media. Do you understand the no contact
2:33:41
order, Sir? Yes, ma'am.
2:33:44
Sir, you were also ordered that you were to have no unsupervised
2:33:48
contact with any minors under the age of 18.
2:33:53
Your next court date, Sir, is April 20th at 9:00 AM.
2:34:00
Step to your right to the teeth, ma'am, If you'll give us a
2:34:02
moment. Yes.
2:34:04
Yes, ma'am. And you know, that's all I have.
2:34:09
Yes, Sir. Thank you.
2:34:09
Have a good day. Yes, Sir.
2:34:11
All right. Same here if I may be excused.
2:34:13
Yes, Sir. Have a good day, Mr. Salin have.
2:34:15
A good morning. It's habit to.
2:34:29
Reach over here. Did you need something, Sir?
2:34:34
OK, that's going to be hard not to reach over here.
2:34:42
That's. OK, it'll take me a few, but
2:34:45
I'll get it. Morning.
2:34:53
OK, I'd normally don't hit pause but just to bring everybody up
2:34:56
to speed, yes, this is the Duggar family from 32,000,000
2:35:01
Kids and County or whatever the hell show that is on the trash
2:35:07
TV network Bay County, Florida. The Florida charges Joseph faces
2:35:12
lewd and lascivious molestation of the victim under 12 and lewd
2:35:15
lascivious behavior by a person 18 or older.
2:35:19
He and his wife Kendra face 8 criminal charges back in
2:35:25
Arkansas, 4 counts of second degree false imprisonment, and
2:35:29
four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor related to a
2:35:33
separate police investigation. So you never know what you're
2:35:37
going to stumble into here on TCFI.
2:35:40
Wasn't planning on it, but This is why you watch this every
2:35:42
morning. Anywho, let's let's finish off
2:35:45
this docket. I guess that dock, it's done.
2:36:09
All right. That was all there was to it.
2:36:11
Let's go. Let's go, Judge West.
2:36:16
Let's go there. Marian Adams, and this is calls
2:36:21
Numbers 23, DCCR 0492 and 0493. Mr. Adams is on probation in
2:36:29
each of those cases for deadly conduct discharging him from
2:36:32
their arm. There have been motions to
2:36:34
revoke filed in each of those cases.
2:36:37
And what is the announcement? Judge Mr. Burbank had requested
2:36:41
the videos from the other line misdemeanor cases that make the
2:36:43
basis of the motion. We had sent through the online
2:36:47
portal the link and he informed me that it didn't work, so we'll
2:36:52
have to physically copy those for them.
2:36:54
OK. So one reset, you should be able
2:36:55
to get that done. Go over it with Mr. Adams and
2:36:58
we'll get an announcement. You think?
2:36:59
I mean, we were going to. Plead you didn't want us to
2:37:03
plead to some of the counts, some launch announcement on all
2:37:07
of them and video, Judge. So that was when was our last
2:37:14
two. It was about 3 or 4 weeks ago,
2:37:16
Judge and I was in trial. Mr. Berbick was in trial.
2:37:18
And had a wedding. And I've followed up the last
2:37:22
few days trying to get the thing copied.
2:37:24
I was informed that's on this online portal so we sent the
2:37:26
link and then I know it didn't work.
2:37:28
OK. So.
2:37:30
I'll do just a normal reset, make sure y'all get it taken
2:37:33
care of. We just have to do it fashion
2:37:35
way and get it to them. OK, if you'll get whatever they
2:37:38
need, I don't know if they'll need a thumb drive, get whatever
2:37:40
they need and we'll so we can get an announcement of that next
2:37:43
floor date. You can go back with the Bay of.
2:37:51
Mr. Burbank, you have Elizar Stansbury.
2:37:54
Stansbury. Good.
2:38:24
Morning. Are you Eleazar Stansbury?
2:38:26
Eleazar. And Mr. Stansbury is charged
2:38:29
with murdering clause #26 DCCR 0174.
2:38:34
And it looks like Mr. Burbank has filed a motion asking that
2:38:38
that bond be reduced. It's currently set at $500,000.
2:38:47
Mr. Stansbury, best you can raise your right hand.
2:38:49
Do you swear if I'm the testimony you're going to give
2:38:51
in this hearing will be the truth, the whole truth and
2:38:53
nothing but the truth. All right.
2:38:55
Thank you, Mr. Burbank. Support for the record station.
2:38:58
L ASL. Stansbury LASR where we're here
2:39:01
to request a bond deduction. Is that correct?
2:39:04
Is it it's currently at 500,000. So you do you have any bank
2:39:08
account with that substantial month and then?
2:39:11
You'll speak up. You'll see.
2:39:13
And do you have any IRA environments, any type of
2:39:17
property that you could possibly put up as a?
2:39:21
No, Sir. OK.
2:39:23
You're asking that the bond be reduced?
2:39:26
Yes, Sir. And so the an amount that you'll
2:39:30
be able to make is excellent. Yes, Sir.
2:39:33
You have. If you are able, if the bond is
2:39:36
reduced, will you be able to stay in the area?
2:39:39
No, I the last time I came Mr. West told me how I can go to
2:39:44
girlfriend's house and that Harris com.
2:39:48
Got it. Wow.
2:39:50
And so that's where you'd be be staying?
2:39:52
Yes. You know that you would have to
2:39:54
get AGPS device. Yes.
2:39:56
And there'll probably be some rules and regulations.
2:39:58
I believe that the judge probably said for you nothing to
2:40:02
where you could go and where you couldn't go.
2:40:04
Yes. And would you comply with those
2:40:06
rules? Yes, Sir.
2:40:08
Your Honor. Aye.
2:40:10
Before I was court appointed, I think Miss Holmes asked for a
2:40:15
bond reduction. I don't see that there was a
2:40:17
motion. No, that's.
2:40:19
What I was looking for. Yeah, I mean.
2:40:21
I I went out there, I went out to see Mr. Stansbury and in
2:40:25
between there and Miss Holmes, I guess he was on a docket or
2:40:30
something. He was questioned that he
2:40:32
reduced and reduced it down to 5000 before.
2:40:38
So what's changed then if I've already reduced it?
2:40:43
Since then, yeah, Since then he has tried the 500,000.
2:40:48
This is my first bond here in Georgia and I don't know how why
2:40:54
he got in front of you before, but.
2:40:57
It it did. Yeah, I see that it was
2:40:59
initially set at 1.5 million, reduced to 500,000.
2:41:05
We're asked, we're asking judges if he would get stopped to
2:41:07
15175. Mr. Nichols, I see no reason the
2:41:12
bond should even be at 500. Your Honor, this besides this
2:41:16
case, he has a weapons charge also pending that predates this
2:41:19
murder and misdemeanor involved in a firearm.
2:41:22
He's been in fights in the jail. He's done nothing.
2:41:25
That I don't even, I don't understand why we've got down to
2:41:28
500, to be honest, Your Honor. Well, and I don't recall and I
2:41:31
don't see anything in the case on that either.
2:41:35
So, yeah, I think that I think at this point, based on the
2:41:41
nature of the offense, I have taken judicial notice of the
2:41:44
Forts file, which includes the probable cause affidavit.
2:41:48
There's not a whole lot of information in it, but enough
2:41:51
that I believe that based on the offense charge, the fact that
2:41:56
there's already been a bond reduction and the what Mr.
2:42:01
Nichols has provided with regard to another underlying weapons
2:42:04
charge, I'm going to deny the motion to reduce the bond any
2:42:07
further at this point. So we'll reset a case and get it
2:42:10
for an announcement as quickly as possible.
2:42:12
If we could judge, we'll. We'll be able.
2:42:14
To announce it. All right.
2:42:16
Thank you. You can go back with the thank.
2:42:18
You thank. You.
2:42:20
That's so weird that there's nothing working on another.
2:42:26
Professor. All right, let's go up to.
2:42:28
Huron County, Michigan Judge Prill, who appears to be remote
2:42:33
this morning. FH.
2:42:35
The defendant appears via the Zoom application.
2:42:38
She's currently lodged in the Huron County Jail for this
2:42:41
proceeding, represented by attorney Tammy W Salens, who was
2:42:44
in the courtroom. The People are represented by
2:42:47
Prosecuting Attorney Timothy J Rakowski.
2:42:50
The defendant is before the court based upon a bench warrant
2:42:53
that was issued for her arrest for allegedly failing to report
2:42:57
to a probation violation arraignment back in September
2:43:01
22nd, 2025. That motion affidavit as well as
2:43:06
bench warrant was authored by. Actually, the bench warrant was
2:43:11
authored by Prosecuting Attorney Timothy J Rakowski.
2:43:14
The original probation violation document alleging that the
2:43:20
defendant violated probation contains 5 counts and it's
2:43:26
alleged, and this was an amended motion filed in September 10,
2:43:30
2025. It's alleged in 4 technical
2:43:34
violation counts that the Defendant failed to complete any
2:43:37
outpatient residential substance abuse treatment as of August
2:43:41
27th, 2025, as well as failed to complete domestic violence
2:43:47
programs as well as anger management programs.
2:43:50
Also, Count 4 alleges that she had failed to comply with the
2:43:55
employment provisions previously ordered in in the original Order
2:44:00
of Probation. Finally, Count 5 alleges failure
2:44:04
of the defendant to report to Lapeer County Probation
2:44:07
Department as of as of September 3.
2:44:10
Easy for me to say. September 3, 2025.
2:44:14
The 1st 4 as stated before, are alleged technical violations.
2:44:18
Count 5 is an alleged non-technical violation.
2:44:21
As a result of an alleged non-technical violation, the
2:44:25
defendant could serve up to five years.
2:44:27
Strike that two years in prison minus any time served.
2:44:31
To date. Miss Salem, have you had the
2:44:34
opportunity to speak with your client regarding these
2:44:36
allegations as well as the Advice of Rights form that you
2:44:40
normally aired on this matter? I have, your honor.
2:44:45
And she understands everything. She has indicated to me she does
2:44:49
and she did sign the advice of rights form.
2:44:53
All right, Miss Phillips, would you please raise your right
2:44:55
hand? Do you swear or affirm?
2:44:57
The testimony you're about to give will be the truth of the
2:45:00
truth and nothing but the truth. Yes, your Honor.
2:45:03
Thank you. Please put your hand down.
2:45:05
Please state your name for the record.
2:45:07
Cheyenne candy. Phillips.
2:45:09
Miss Phillips, you have had the opportunity, and I'm not
2:45:11
doubting Miss Salens, but I just want to cover the record.
2:45:14
Have you had the opportunity to speak with Miss Salens about all
2:45:17
of this? Yes, your Honor.
2:45:19
And you went over the rights relative to the probation
2:45:22
rights, probation violation rights form?
2:45:26
Yes, your Honor. And you signed that document.
2:45:29
Yes, your Honor. And you understand all those
2:45:31
rights? Yeah, sure, Honor.
2:45:33
All right. And as stated, you are entitled
2:45:36
to have a probation violation hearing where it must be shown
2:45:39
by preponderance of the evidence more likely than not that you
2:45:42
violated the terms of your probation.
2:45:43
Do you understand that? Yeah, sure, Honor.
2:45:47
And beside all the rights contained on the advice of
2:45:49
rights form, you have the right to assistance of counsel and it
2:45:52
would appear that you are eligible for Court Assistant
2:45:55
counsel. Hence one will be assigned to
2:45:57
you after this proceeding. But you understand the charges
2:46:00
made against you. Yeah, sure, all.
2:46:03
Right, Miss Salens, how does your client plead at this time?
2:46:06
She stands mute. Very well not be pleased.
2:46:09
Will be entered on behalf of the defendant relative to all 5
2:46:12
counts contained within the motion, affidavit and bench
2:46:15
warrant and the bench warrant is hereby recalled.
2:46:20
Miss Alexander is in the courtroom.
2:46:21
Miss Alexander, are you requesting a bond in this
2:46:24
matter? I'm.
2:46:26
Requesting no bands or some sort of high cash bond at this.
2:46:31
Time, All right? When?
2:46:32
What? Allegedly, when's the last time
2:46:34
she's had any contact with the probation office?
2:46:40
That would have been the 9:00. 3.
2:46:42
I apologize I don't have my computer in front of me, but it
2:46:45
was. 9/23 of 25 is alleged in the in the documentation.
2:46:54
I believe it would be somewhere in between there that's.
2:46:56
Correct. All right.
2:46:58
All right. Miss Allens, do you have any
2:46:59
comment relative to a bond in this matter?
2:47:02
Your Honor, my client has indicated to me that she is
2:47:04
receiving public assistance, that she has no money available
2:47:08
to post bond. She has no objection to the
2:47:11
court setting a bond in a reasonable amount, but it is her
2:47:16
intent to remain incarcerated so that she gets credit for the
2:47:19
time she's incarcerated. Thank you, Miss Salem, Mr.
2:47:22
Rakowski, your position on bond, Sir.
2:47:25
Yes, your honor, discuss the matter with adult probation.
2:47:28
My understanding is Phillips had a conversation with them after
2:47:30
she's turned herself in indicating she had used meth in
2:47:36
the past year. She's been clean for a little
2:47:37
over a month but our concern is that if she gets out now and not
2:47:41
using and then back. Using that, she.
2:47:43
Would harm herself so we're asking for a bond of 20,000
2:47:45
cash. All right.
2:47:47
Thank you. Considering comments of counsel
2:47:50
as well as the alleged statement or you shouldn't say Alleged
2:47:55
statements regarding the statements and allegations that
2:47:57
the Defendant has been AWOL since September 23, 2025.
2:48:01
Court is going to set a cash bond in the cash surety bond in
2:48:04
the amount of $50,000 cash surety.
2:48:08
Miss Salem's. Anything further on behalf of
2:48:09
your client? My client has indicated to me
2:48:13
that she does suffer from a very, very serious mental health
2:48:18
issue. She is on.
2:48:19
Medication, Her medication is with her right now at the jail
2:48:24
and is being dispensed. However, she did miss her
2:48:27
appointment with her psychiatrist because she was
2:48:30
incarcerated. So I would request that a call
2:48:34
be made to possibly hear on behavioral health just so that
2:48:37
they can check in on Miss Phillips to make sure that she
2:48:43
is she is stable. Very well.
2:48:46
Thank you, Mr. Rakowski, your position, Sir.
2:48:50
We have no objection to that. I would ask the court, are we
2:48:52
going to set the hearing then for the 14th or 13th April,
2:48:55
13th, April 13th? Yeah, we need to set it within
2:48:58
14 days, today's date as she is incarcerated.
2:49:02
Is that date acceptable, Mr. Rakowski?
2:49:06
Yes, your Honor. Miss Hatch, who would be the
2:49:09
attorney assigned to this matter?
2:49:10
Do you have any idea? Yes, Attorney Wisenbach.
2:49:14
Elizabeth V Wisenbach will be appointed time to represent the
2:49:17
defendant. Court will also order that.
2:49:20
Well, actually, not necessarily order, but well, I'm going to
2:49:23
order that here on behavioral health be contacted so that the
2:49:26
defendant will have the opportunity to meet with them
2:49:29
regarding any issues, relative mental health treatment.
2:49:32
And Lieutenant Newman is very good at the jail making sure
2:49:36
that that those matters are addressed.
2:49:37
So just a simple phone call, Miss Hatch would be greatly
2:49:40
appreciated to Lieutenant Newman so he can be given heads up on
2:49:45
this so we can beat accordingly. Anything record please.
2:49:49
No, Your Honor. Thank you.
2:49:52
Miss Alens. No, Your Honor.
2:49:54
All right. Thank you.
2:49:55
That will conclude the proceedings.
2:49:57
Thank you. Off the record all.
2:49:59
Right, friends, let's go back down to Texas and Judge Boyd.
2:50:06
We go way back. Oh hey, how you?
2:50:10
Doing today you. Know in the words of Principal
2:50:14
Abel from elementary. Do y'all go back to molars?
2:50:19
No. Wait that far?
2:50:22
All righty. So what are we here for with Mr.
2:50:25
Lorenzo? Mr. Garcia has an occupational
2:50:29
driver's license application that's pending in front of the
2:50:32
court today all. Right.
2:50:33
Can you have them pull that? Because they didn't.
2:50:35
The application. I've got the application and a
2:50:38
copy of the order if you need just.
2:50:41
Have you conferred with the state?
2:50:42
I have, I confer with Mr. Prater yesterday on this case and the
2:50:47
state silent. They don't have a position one
2:50:50
way or another. This is a felony DWI.
2:50:55
So there was a waiting period that we had to go through.
2:50:58
He was placed on probation what, over a year ago right now year
2:51:03
this month. And so he's gone through the
2:51:05
waiting period. And so we wanted to do an
2:51:09
application. Uber peas are killing.
2:51:12
Him so he he is anxious to be able to at least go to work and
2:51:17
drive to work. He still has ignition
2:51:19
interlocked. We got contacted by Yes Barbara
2:51:27
last week and he asked us to provide her the proof of the
2:51:31
ignition interlock with the latest calibration for this one,
2:51:35
which we did. And so.
2:51:37
He he's in full compliance Judge.
2:51:38
We just are trying to get him an occupational.
2:51:40
License so he can. So it's required that we have
2:51:43
hearings on these. So we're going to go on the
2:51:45
record with this hearing. And it appears from my review of
2:51:50
the application, everything appears to be in order.
2:51:53
The main thing is having the ignition interlock and having
2:51:57
insurance. So if for some reason if your
2:52:01
insurance ends up lapsing, then you know you're not allowed to
2:52:04
drive. All right, we're going to go on
2:52:06
the record. The court is calling 2026 CI
2:52:12
05308 N Ray Lorenzo Garcia for the defense.
2:52:20
Dave or Dave McClain for the defense.
2:52:22
And for the state, all right, this is a request for, I should
2:52:27
say an application for an occupational license.
2:52:30
The court is required to have an A hearing defense you may
2:52:33
receive. Thank you, Your Honor.
2:52:35
Your Honor, this morning we have the application for an
2:52:38
occupational license. This is for a felony DWI.
2:52:42
My client has completed the requisite time before applying
2:52:48
for this license and so the the application is timely now.
2:52:55
He has provided attached to the application proof of insurance,
2:53:01
his certified driving records which show that he has not had
2:53:05
any other violations or anything since being placed on probation.
2:53:09
He currently has the ignition interlock in his car.
2:53:12
We provide a proof of that to the staff attorney last week
2:53:17
that has a current calibration and a current fees paid.
2:53:22
He is willing to comply with all the requirements this court
2:53:26
would impose on him. He just is requesting that he
2:53:28
has an application for this occupational license so he can
2:53:32
go to work, attend probation, attend court if necessary, go to
2:53:37
church and take care of his basic needs.
2:53:38
All right state. Oh, if you can come forward
2:53:42
though, please, that's OK. All right, If you could sign
2:53:46
here, this you're silent, but this is just approving the form
2:53:49
in which it's in. But all right, so I'm going to
2:53:55
grant your application and sign the order.
2:53:59
Make sure that you have a copy of this with you at all times.
2:54:04
You understand, and read over it because you're only allowed to
2:54:08
drive during the times that's presented in the application and
2:54:12
then the order. OK.
2:54:13
Do you have any questions about anything?
2:54:15
Thank you. OK, we're going to get certified
2:54:20
cops Judge. Thank you.
2:54:23
So. Much.
2:54:24
All right. You're welcome.
2:54:24
Thank you. Excuse me.
2:54:26
Yes, you're. Thank you all.
2:54:32
Right, let's head back over to Judge West Courtroom.
2:54:43
It's are you are Larry Fitzgerald Williams and Mr.
2:54:47
Williams is charged in cause #25 DCCR 0985 with capital murder
2:54:53
and Mr. Cash looks like filed yesterday which is we're here
2:55:00
just on an announcement I believe, but filed yesterday a
2:55:03
motion to compel the state to declare their intent to seek the
2:55:07
death penalty or not. And Mr. Smith what is the
2:55:14
state's position? Do y'all have one yet?
2:55:17
I think that's obviously very important at this.
2:55:20
This is from a murder from June of 2025.
2:55:24
So if it's not been declared, I think it's time.
2:55:26
I would agree. Well, as far as I understand the
2:55:29
law, judge, the punishment for capital is the death penalty,
2:55:34
unless the state waives that we've not waived it.
2:55:38
I understand what the law is. I also understand that the case
2:55:42
needs to be set up a whole lot different from the court's
2:55:45
perspective. If we're going to set this for
2:55:47
trial, then we need six or seven weeks from Mr. Cashin's
2:55:52
perspective. He's got a very different
2:55:56
potential strategy and mitigation and all of that kind
2:56:00
of stuff if we're going to go. And so I don't disagree that the
2:56:04
state needs to make that decision.
2:56:07
It's time for all of us to be setting it for trial or work.
2:56:10
Something out? If I'm going to hang on, if I'm
2:56:12
going to set it for trial, I need to know what I'm setting it
2:56:14
for trial for. So here's what I'm going to do.
2:56:16
I'm going to reset the case, one reset for you to meet with
2:56:22
whoever you need to meet with. I am going to order that there
2:56:26
is an answer because we will be either setting it for trial or
2:56:31
it'll be the end of the announcements.
2:56:33
It's either going to be worked out as some type of plea or
2:56:35
we're going to be setting it for trial at that next court date.
2:56:38
And I need to be able to know what I'm setting it for.
2:56:40
So get with whoever you need to get with.
2:56:42
Let's get an answer between now and then so that we all know how
2:56:47
to go forward. And since we're at that point,
2:56:50
we'll be 10 months out. So it'll be it's it's time to
2:56:55
figure out what to get it set for.
2:56:57
So I'll reset it and we'll get that at that next four days.
2:57:01
All right, You can go back with the bailiff.
2:57:11
Yeah. I need to know once you set that
2:57:14
date I need to be filled in right there so that I need that
2:57:17
sent to. Mr. Crocker, you've got Caleb
2:57:29
Laskoski. Good morning.
2:57:32
How? Are you good?
2:57:34
It's been a little while. Make it out of the the country
2:57:39
to the big city and. And I have to go back.
2:58:12
None. Good morning.
2:58:16
You're Caleb Luskoski, and this is 2137917.
2:58:21
And Mr. Luskoski has a motion to revoke probation, underlying
2:58:27
offenses, evading arrest and attention with the use of a
2:58:29
vehicle. And what is the announcement,
2:58:32
Your Honor? You'll note that this was filed.
2:58:36
2022, yeah. So he subsequently after part of
2:58:41
the basis of the motion was 2 convictions that have been
2:58:44
different counties and he went and did time on those.
2:58:48
And so we can either a, if the court's inclined to take our our
2:58:53
pleas to the allegations contained in the state's motion,
2:58:56
we can do that or two. I figure out.
2:59:00
How much time he's got, it matters to the court.
2:59:06
Well, have you? Have you talked to Mr. Smith?
2:59:08
I haven't. OK, I'll hold the case.
2:59:10
Y'all visit about it because it may be that y'all can get that
2:59:12
information and get an offer and work it out this morning.
2:59:16
My fear is it's going to be scattered across a couple of
2:59:19
counties and a couple of state institutions.
2:59:22
It may not be readily ascertainable.
2:59:24
She's she's looking if they wish she could find out, but y'all
2:59:27
talk about possible whatever, Y'all can talk to Mr. Smith,
2:59:33
Miss Werner can work on credit potentially.
2:59:36
And then we can see if we can get any notes, I think.
2:59:39
You can call. Mr. Gallmore.
2:59:49
And Mr. Johns didn't count to a man.
2:59:57
Yeah, he was on Williams. So Marvin has got quite the
3:00:06
bucket today. All right, well, she looks for
3:00:18
another contestant. Let's go.
3:00:20
Let's go across the hall to Judge Stevens.
3:00:24
Starts the burglary of a building, which again carries
3:00:28
with it up to two years in the state jail.
3:00:32
And are you talking to some lawyers?
3:00:38
Are you talking to some lawyers, or you're not going to represent
3:00:41
yourself in this? No, that's why we have lawyers.
3:00:44
That's why God invented them to help people in legal matters so.
3:00:51
You need to go. Talk to some people and talk to
3:00:53
them, you understand? Are you working somewhere?
3:00:58
Voice. I'm not asking them.
3:01:00
You have a soft voice. Where were you employed?
3:01:04
At the lady's subject? At the where, what?
3:01:10
Were you doing there? What was the your job?
3:01:13
A What a slagger. You need to talk to some folks
3:01:21
about representing you. If you're unable to afford
3:01:27
someone to represent you, two things.
3:01:32
We can get somebody appointed to represent you and but #2 you
3:01:39
can't afford to be in criminal trouble.
3:01:43
So I don't see any prior convictions.
3:01:47
You've never been convicted before of something.
3:01:49
Well, this is up to two years in the state jail and it's burglary
3:01:54
of a building like a felony conviction follows you around
3:02:00
the rest of your life. That's what you don't want.
3:02:02
One of these. I'm going to give you 3 weeks to
3:02:06
talk to some lawyers and see if you can hire somebody.
3:02:10
If not, you come back and tell me what happened and then we'll
3:02:12
see what we go do from there. A couple of things.
3:02:16
You posted a bond. How much is your bond?
3:02:18
How? Much.
3:02:22
Well, who? Posted your bond somebody.
3:02:26
Else, I guess somebody else paid for, yeah.
3:02:29
Well, no, I'm paying for it weekly.
3:02:32
And if I'm not? These aren't the hard questions.
3:02:36
You sound confused. I don't, I just don't remember.
3:02:42
Yeah, it's a 15. $1000 huh? So you're going to be paying at
3:02:47
least $1500 for that. Yeah, I have 50.
3:02:55
What are you using the How are you paying if you don't have a
3:02:58
job? Didn't.
3:02:58
Have a call and just a week ago and.
3:03:04
If you don't pay your bondsman, they're going to revoke it on
3:03:07
and then you'll be stuck in jail, OK?
3:03:09
You get until April 10th. All right, you got that and
3:03:16
you've got find a lawyer problem, so make sure you come
3:03:21
back and we'll see where you are on all of this.
3:03:24
But most importantly, don't commit any more crimes while
3:03:27
you're waiting on this one, OK? Get a reset.
3:03:32
Thank you, Elise, Alicila, Simeon.
3:03:38
All right, friends, let's go back across the hall again to
3:03:40
Judge West, and this will probably be our final hearing of
3:03:43
the day. Let's.
3:03:50
Try not to look, that's I know now when I got a post up for
3:03:55
social media. Don't let me look at the camera
3:03:58
myself. Good morning.
3:03:59
Are you Carlos Rodriguez? Yes.
3:04:03
And just for the record, Mr. Salinas, you're going to be able
3:04:06
to translate for Mr. Rodriguez today?
3:04:08
Yes, Sir. All right.
3:04:09
And Mr. Rodriguez is charged in 24 BCCR 1584 and 1585 with
3:04:20
indecency with a child by sexual contact.
3:04:24
And what is the announcement? Ready, your honor.
3:04:32
I guess last time we were here we had to deal with the
3:04:36
inspection videos. So it looks like that was a bit
3:04:41
after your order was signed. Both me and the state were able
3:04:44
to get those videos and an investigator report there.
3:04:47
So and I believe State also filed motions for you to do an
3:04:52
in camera inspection and some CPS records regarding the
3:04:54
children. That's correct, Your Honor.
3:04:56
There could be exculpatory information there.
3:05:00
And so I do like to request those records if necessary.
3:05:05
I signed the that order just yesterday.
3:05:09
So that takes a little bit to get those records back,
3:05:13
understood. And I was.
3:05:14
I was on them. I opposed anyway to that, so
3:05:16
that's that's fine. All right, so I guess what we
3:05:19
need to do is reset it to get those records back.
3:05:22
And then as soon as that happens, and typically what
3:05:26
happens is they send 3 copies, They send an unredacted version
3:05:30
to me, a redacted version to both of you.
3:05:32
So you'll be able to go through it yourself.
3:05:34
If there's something that you feel like has been redacted that
3:05:37
I need to take a closer look to or closer look at, then you can
3:05:40
let me know. So we'll just do a normal reset.
3:05:45
Not likely we'll have them by then.
3:05:47
But if you think just because this has been going on a little
3:05:50
bit, he's in custody. If you'll get with Miss Adams.
3:05:57
Miss Adams, I didn't want to say I was about to say her first
3:06:00
name. I couldn't.
3:06:01
But yeah, if you'll get with Miss Adams and see if they can
3:06:03
kind of move this one to the top of the list for us since he's in
3:06:06
custody and we're waiting on it now.
3:06:08
And your honor, speaking with a state earlier about, you know,
3:06:12
just as far as. Trial dates go.
3:06:14
August was mentioned. Is that about as far as?
3:06:17
So what'll happen is it's it has to we have to get to that point
3:06:22
to where it gets placed on the trial docket.
3:06:24
I don't just put anything on the trial docket to, to kind of get
3:06:28
more time. I want everybody to have all the
3:06:29
discovery and then for it to for sure be a rejection of any plea
3:06:33
agreement. And so what'll happen is once
3:06:36
you are prepared to reject any offer, there's a document you'll
3:06:41
do plea bargain rejection so that I have something in right.
3:06:44
As soon as that's done, it'll get placed on the trial docket.
3:06:48
Our trial dockets are about 2 1/2 to three months, OK,
3:06:52
turnover from the time that you get on it to to the next.
3:06:55
And I'll get a update with her but.
3:06:56
We'll, we'll need that rejection first and everything.
3:06:59
And so I'm assuming you don't want to reject until you get the
3:07:02
CPS records. Yeah, and right now the current
3:07:05
offer was from the last prosecutor.
3:07:07
Miss Pam here hasn't got a chance to fully review and give
3:07:10
her own SO. I'll just do a normal reset and
3:07:12
then Miss French can get an offer to you and then we'll see
3:07:17
where we get with regard to getting those records back.
3:07:20
And as soon as that takes place, we can get it moved to the trial
3:07:22
docket if that's what it's going to be.
3:07:23
Got you. OK, thank you.
3:07:25
Can you go back with the bailiff?
3:07:29
OK friends, fairly heavy day, an hour shorter than it normally
3:07:36
is, so we're going to go ahead and call it for now.
3:07:39
We will be back tomorrow morning, 9:00 AM Eastern, 6:00
3:07:41
AM Pacific, 1/2 an hour earlier. If you're a channel member, do
3:07:45
join us for the pre show tomorrow.
3:07:47
If you're not a channel member, fix that so you can join us
3:07:50
because I'm pretty sure Lindsay is going to give us her police
3:07:54
blotter from Cadillac this time. At least that's what she said.
3:07:58
So got that to look forward to. So go have yourselves a great
3:08:02
Tuesday. I will see you tomorrow morning.
3:08:04
In the meantime, take care, God bless.
