Can you abide by those rules? Raise your right hand.
1:06
Do you swear or affirm and acknowledge the debt payable to
1:09
court? You might have $1000.
1:11
If you screw that up, you mess up on bond, you go to jail, it's
1:14
going to cost you $1000 to get out.
1:15
Understood. Any questions?
1:17
You're all set. We'll get your notice.
1:18
Get you out of here. Mr. Beaudry.
1:20
Come on up, Council. We've got the file 1923649 S of
1:26

1:42
Original driving license. Suspended the subject due to
1:45
the. Benefit you'll when you.
1:46
Start to go out on versus you've been to violate rights.
1:48
OK. All right, Mr. Boudreau, you
1:50
understand those rights, you understand the options presented
1:53
to you because of those rights. And do you understand the
1:56
possible penalty for the added charge?
1:58
Understanding all of that, are you pleading guilty to that
1:59
charge, doing so freely and voluntarily?
2:03
All right. Did you drive a vehicle in Ramos
2:05
on October 2525? Was your license suspended,
2:08
revoked or denied? Satisfied counsel.
2:11
Thank you. I'll accept the plea and dismiss
2:13
the original charge. Tell me something about Mr.
2:15
Beaudry so I can sentence today. Kind of swing soul works with
2:19
his family you're on. But as a child on the way of
2:21
sin. Congrats.
2:23
It's not ever had a license. They have it.
2:27
OK, so when this hits his record, they're probably going
2:29
to be suspending. He's going to be suspending.
2:31
Pretty sure he's being more aware of that.
2:33
OK. Where are you working?
2:36
How long? Since November.
2:38
Full time. Good.
2:40
What do they pay? You got to get a better job.
2:43
What's the plan? What have you done besides Myers
2:48
worked? At BTW.
2:51
The aircraft. OK.
2:52
OK. How soon do you think he's going
2:55
to be able to get his license back with this suspension?
2:58
And this. It's as soon as this hits, it's
3:00
at least 30 days, so I can go back in there.
3:02
Is he is he eligible right now? I believe he is eligible right
3:05
now. If, if this case didn't exist,
3:07
could you go to Secretary of State and get your license?
3:10
Is Greco here today or Angela? Angela.
3:13
I'm going to beat her up a little bit.
3:15
Yes. Judge, I want to beat you up a
3:17
little bit. OK, What's going on?
3:20
Mr. Beaudry is 20 years old. He's got a baby on the way.
3:23
He needs to get a good job. I've got a real good job
3:26
prospect for him, but he's got to get his license.
3:28
And if he pleads to a no OPS, he's 30 days out before he can
3:31
get his license. OK.
3:32
You want to. Do an allowing will you?
3:34
Yeah, that's fine. Thank.
3:36
You all right? Thank you.
3:39
This is going to be a nasty job. I mean, hard work, messy, wet,
3:42
muddy. I think he's going to start you
3:44
at 19 or 20 bucks an hour. He'll work you.
3:48
He'll work you enough that you'll you'll just go home,
3:51
crawl into bed and sleep. That's what you need right now,
3:54
OK? You need to be working 60-70
3:56
hour weeks while you're young and healthy.
3:58
So when you're old and worn out like I am, you don't have to
4:00
work so hard, OK? Get your license straightened
4:04
out. Call him first.
4:05
Tell him I got that card from Oakley.
4:07
I'm getting my license straightened out this week.
4:10
Whatever you can do. And I want to know if you can
4:13
look at me to hire me. All right, and then let me know
4:16
what happens. All right, so we're going to
4:17
change this to an allow one licensed driver to operate.
4:21
OK, now what's what else should I know before I sentence
4:24
everything? One years old is human writing.
4:27
Southeast. Michigan, no prior criminal
4:29
record, all that. I'm going to I'm not.
4:31
I'm not going to just give you a birthday present.
4:33

Find the cost on this file $600.00 or show me a valid
4:39
operator's license within 30 days.
4:42
I'm paying you 600 bucks to get your license.
4:45
You understand how that works? Go away, Judge.
4:48
She has a bond. OK.
4:51
I'm going to keep $150.00 out of your bond, and then I'm going to
4:53
pay you $450 to get your license.
4:56

13:35
You understand the possible penalty for the added charge.
13:39

13:44
All right, If I take a plea from you to no valid operative
13:47
license on person, when we tell Secretary of State what happened
13:50
today, they're probably going to suspend you for another period
13:53
of time. You understand that and
13:55
understand that you're still willing to plead guilty.
13:57
All right. Did you drive a vehicle on
13:59
Romulus while your license was suspended?
14:01
On February 15 this year, I'll accept your plea to the no valid
14:04
operator's license on person and I will dismiss the original
14:08
charge. Are you working, Sir?

You're all set. You're welcome, Erwin.
17:19
Good morning, ma'am. Are you going forward today
17:21
without benefit of a court appointed attorney?
17:24
Have you read your rights? You understand those rights and
17:26
the options they give you. All right, let's see what the
17:28
deal said. You're going to plead guilty to
17:30
no valid operators license on no valid license on person will
17:35
dismiss registration of plate, civil infraction, no insurance,
17:39
civil infraction and drove all license suspended, revoked or
17:41
denied misdemeanor. Right.
17:43
You understand that when Secretary of State sees this
17:46
deal, they're probably going to suspend you for a little bit
17:49
more time. Yeah, they might resuspend you.
17:53
You understand that's a possibility because this will
17:55
show them that you were driving when you weren't supposed to be
17:58
driving. You follow me.
18:00
All right, and understanding your rights, understanding your
18:04
options, understanding the possible penalty for the no
18:06
valid operators license. Are you pleading guilty freely
18:09
and voluntarily? Yeah, but you're doing it
18:10
because you decide that's the best deal for you, not because
18:13
somebody's making you. Yeah.
18:15
So did you drive a vehicle in Romulus while your license was
18:17
suspended, revoked or denied? That was February 19th.
18:20
I will accept your plea and dismiss all the other stuff and
18:23
keeping with your agreement with the prosecutor.
18:25
All right. Are you working?
18:27
Where do you work? How long have you been there?
18:29
OK. Anything else you want me to
18:32
know? Right.
18:32
How old are they? 6:00 and 2:00.
18:35
So, so 6 year old's probably in school.
18:38
OK. And what kind of shift do you
18:40
work on the job? I work around 11:30 to 7030, so
18:45
they're all right. So normally I would order work
18:47
program, but that's going to cause you some extra problems.
18:51
So instead of four days on the work program, I'm going to order
18:55
30 hours community service. What that means is charity work.
18:59
Literally any nonprofit. If you get inventive, you'll be
19:02
able to find some place where you can go volunteer.
19:04
The kids think you're taking them somewhere fun and you can
19:06
kill a couple birds with one stone.
19:08
Understood. And I'm going to give you until
19:11
July 1. So go downstairs at the front
19:15
counter far end, ask them for the community service list and
19:19
we'll give you a list of organizations in our area that
19:21
are pre approved. You don't have to work from that
19:23
list. You can find any nonprofit if
19:24
the IRS have them registered as a nonprofit.
19:27
I'll accept the hours there. All right, if you're not working
19:30
off our list before you do the work, you might want to come in
19:33
and have us confirm that the place you picked will approve
19:37
because you don't have time to waste doing 30 hours that I
19:39
don't accept. All right, find the cost of
19:41
$500. Can you pay that today or do you
19:43
need options on that? Go downstairs front counter
19:46
where you get all that stuff. Any questions?
19:48
Good luck. Once again, everybody, good
19:50
morning. It's TCF live on a super Friday.
19:52
My name is Dan Soul, your guide through this journey through
19:55
Courtlandia. This morning, Barbara, another
19:57
$5. Thank you and the community and
20:01
I love you too. And the options you have and the
20:03
rights to give you those options, I'm not sure I really
20:07
understand. Do you have any questions I can
20:09
answer? Go ahead.
20:17
The main you mean the difference between what you're getting
20:19
ready, getting ready to plead to and the what you're charged
20:22
with? What I what I'm pleading to the
20:24
original charge. Yeah.
20:26
So original charge. Bottom line is the 2 points the
20:29
drove all license suspended you're going to get 2 points
20:31
from Secretary of State with the no valid operator's license on
20:33
person you're not going to get those two points.
20:35
The Secretary of State may give you a longer suspension because
20:39
this charge on your record when that hits today it'll show them
20:42
that on February 12 you were driving.
20:46
So they might re suspend you but it will not be points my
20:51
situation around I. Was.
20:56
My license was suspended for five.
20:57
Years. And I made it to four years and
21:00
nine months and they were suspended again.
21:02
Because I got talked. About doing revolt work, That's
21:05
right. That's I vote on.
21:06
Work so they were suspended for. Another volume.
21:08
So next year, I mean that fifth year, which all together is like
21:13
10 years I've been without a license and like I'll completely
21:17
turn my life around. I'll completely put it down on
21:20
alcohol since the last incident and you just been on Straight
21:24
and narrow and to work at home, literally, I missed all family
21:27
events. Where are you working at,
21:29
Broski? New Boston.
21:31
Yeah, The Lighting Place. Yeah.
21:33
Yeah, I just been on straight and narrow.
21:35
When you decide that like, you catch lips and Ubers.
21:39
You know I've had. I got a bunch of ton of money, a
21:42
lot going on I'm. Here to.
21:44
Pull them over. This summer.
21:46
Where are you going with all this?
21:48
Well, I'm going with it. It's and this reached the
21:51
Secretary of State and they suspended another five years.
21:54
About 15. OK, stop there, Miss Mannarino.
21:57
Yes. Judge.
21:59
Elijah Lee. Yes.
22:02
DWLS down to no OPS February 12, 2026.
22:07
He's been 10 years without his license because of drinking and
22:09
driving charges. Last time he got an extra 5.
22:13
It's big. It's because he got popped
22:15
driving while he was revoked. I think the no OPS is going to
22:18
do the same thing and add another five years.
22:21
So wait, I'm at it to an. Allowing he's a working guy yeah
22:24
that's fine we. Can do.
22:25
That. All right.
22:26
Thank you, Judge. Thank you, Miss Mannarino.
22:29
She just saved you that five years.
22:32
All right, So what you're going to plead to is allowing an
22:34
unlicensed driver to operate. So, you know, if you gave your
22:38
nephew who's 15 your car and said go up and get milk at the
22:41
store, he's not licensed, that's the ticket you'd get.
22:45
So that tells Secretary of State that you gave somebody the right
22:48
to drive your car that shouldn't have that somebody just happens
22:51
to be you. OK, understood.
22:55
All right, I think I got this already, but let's February
22:58
12th, 2026. Were you driving a vehicle in
23:00
Romulus? Was your license suspended,
23:02
revoked or denied? I'll accept your plea to the
23:04
added charge. What kind of shift you work at,
23:08
Bros? I worked at 62.
23:12
All that all that work. All right.
23:14
What days? Monday through Friday.
23:18
They're working you 6 days. Good for you.
23:19
All right, all right. Usually I would do four days on
23:22
the work program, but I don't want you to have to take work
23:25
days off to do that. So I'm going to convert your
23:27
work days to community service hours.
23:30
Did you hear me explain to the lady in front of you how that
23:32
works? Did you, did you hear me explain
23:34
community service to the lady in front of you?
23:36
It's charity work. All right, on the funny, funny.
23:40
That's money and fines and costs all rolled together.
23:42
It works on the money, finds a cost for $500.
23:47
Can you pay that today or do you need options?
23:50
Go downstairs, same kind of where you're going to schedule
23:52
your four or ask about 30 hours community service if you want.
23:56
Our list is where you set up your payment plans.
23:58
Looks like you owe us 90 bucks on a 2022.
24:02
OK, balance due on that ticket. So just put it all together.
24:05
One payment plan questions, you're all set.
24:10
Good luck with that license. Listen, when you're ready to go
24:12
get your license, go talk to an attorney that does license
24:15
restorations. It's going to cost you money,
24:18
but it'll save you time because probably what happens with most
24:22
people that try it without a lawyer is they, they set up a
24:24
hearing through the Secretary of State and they go to the
24:26
driver's license appeal division and the hearing officer says,
24:30
OK, do this, do this, do this, do this, bring me that, bring me
24:32
this and then come back and see me in X number of months.
24:36
If you see an attorney that does that for a living, they'll have
24:40
all your ducks in a row. So when you go into the hearing,
24:42
you probably get some privileges.
24:45
It'll cost you, but you're, you're, I mean, how long, how
24:47
much does it cost you the last 10 years paying for rides and
24:51
attorneys a bargain. All right, So keep that in mind
24:54
when you're ready. You're welcome.
24:55
Good luck, Morris. Mr. Morris, are you going
24:58
forward today without an attorney?
25:02
Did you read your rights form? Did you understand your rights?
25:05
Did you understand the options those rights give you today?
25:08
All right, the deal says that you're going to plead.
25:11
Morris, We. Have two.
25:13
Morris, Oh, is it? Keel.
25:16
Keel. You're welcome.
25:19
All right. So you understand your options,
25:21
You understand your rights, You understand the penalty.
25:23
So are you pleading guilty freely, voluntarily.
25:26
On February 19, 2026, did you drive a vehicle in Romulus?
25:30
Was your license revoked or suspended?
25:33
I'll accept your plea to the added charge.
25:34
Dismiss the original charge. Working.
25:36
No, nothing. Right?
25:38
When's the last time you had a job?
25:40
September 2nd. Where were you working last
25:42
year? Where at all right, all right.
25:45
So what's going on with the the employment situation September
25:50
2nd, I think on the December kind of revenue, revenue was
25:55
very prior to. So yeah.
25:58
School. School in the bathtub.
26:01
OK, so where you going to school?
26:05
Morning council? What are you doing there?
26:08
I'm going to school for several processing certificates and.
26:12
OK, all right. Good, good and license still
26:15
suspended unfortunately. I was actually I was able to get
26:18
it. Back I didn't even know that I
26:22
thought because of the points that end of the follow.
26:24
Up right. Yeah, yeah.
26:28
And you know that this is probably going to put you a
26:29
little bit. Behind on them.
26:30
OK. All right.
26:32
Anything else you want to know All right and it looks like you
26:34
already owe us money on some other stuff.
26:36
A 2024 distracted driving. I didn't I.
26:40
Didn't know that I could even set up.
26:41
Pay. Yeah.
26:42
All right, so today's file is $500 and four days on the work
26:45
program. Have you heard me explain the
26:46
work program? You pick the four days.
26:49
You show up that day at 8:00 in the morning, you're back usually
26:52
two o'clock 3:00 in the afternoon, done for the day.
26:54
All right, so as on the $500, go down and set up a payment plan
26:58
for that plus the old distracted driving 1.
27:01
I did already pay your ticket that was dismissed or they just
27:04
paid those funds? The speeding ticket, when did
27:08
you do that? I did that yesterday morning.
27:12
Oh, all right, so can you just apply the 195 on that dude?
27:16
Thank you I'll. I'll leave a note by the 195.
27:20
On to the 500. Yes.
27:22
Got it questions. Good luck.
27:24
I got an arraignment following that it.
27:27
Looks like the. Endurance in the.
27:28
All righty, friends. We've spent a lot of time with
27:30
Judge Oakley this morning, but he was kind of on a roll.
27:32
We might check back in later, but I'd like to put us in the
27:35
Wayback Machine for a few minutes.
27:37
This was yesterday after we ended our show.
27:41
This is Judge Simpson. He had an interesting encounter
27:45
with somebody. About it yesterday, OK, I'll try
27:49
and get it. Fine, I'll pass it.
27:53
But hold on for just a minute because it reset on me.
27:57
Hold on, there we go. I'll walk out.
28:00
You're doing those waiters. OK.
28:02
Can you just double check those? Yes, workouts case of the people
28:07
versus Hosea Hill. Thank you, Your Honor.
28:13
Alex Warren, on behalf of Mr. Hill.
28:16
Mr. Hill, can you state the coins?
28:19
Hosea, Rafael Hill. Good.
28:21
Morning. Good morning.
28:23
We're going to need to deal with this violation.
28:25
Your honor, I reviewed that with my client at this time he's
28:28
going to admit to not only his behavior towards.
28:33
Why was he acting that way? You gonna have to give me an
28:37
explanation for that. Those, those folks over there at
28:40
Community Corrections have to deal with a lot of people coming
28:44
through, a lot of people that are under stress and they don't
28:49
need this garbage. And certainly, and I'll be
28:53
honest with you, especially Miss Dozer does not need this
28:56
garbage. So before you start talking to
28:59
me, you better make sure you understand what you're saying to
29:02
me. And before the violation issued
29:07
right after the N terminated because of behavior at the end
29:11
big Mr. Hill came to my office we're.
29:15
Clear It's not just his behavior.
29:17
She had to call officers in, tried to deal with it and still
29:20
tried to do it and he still didn't do it and he didn't
29:23
complete his intake. Go ahead.
29:25
My office made me aware of what happened, sat down with me,
29:30
wrote an apology letter to Agent Dozier and to her.
29:35
I extended my apologies on his behalf and I think to try and
29:42
put this into context and he acknowledges there's no excuse.
29:45
For it. But to try and put it into
29:47
context, Mr. Hill has had medication stolen.
29:53
He's bribed medication for a mental health diet as he
30:00
scheduled 2 appointments with his psychiatrist to make a plan
30:07
moving forward. And after sending our apology
30:10
letter to Agent Dozier, one thing that Hill brought up was
30:18
if his social worker was present at the time of intake, I think
30:23
that might help him regulate his emotions.
30:27
But he's still trying to get back on the medication that he's
30:30
prescribed. So let me just read the letter
30:33
here, Your Honor, I, I can answer any of the court's
30:38
questions. And I think Mr. Hill can answer
30:40
any of the court's questions as well at this time.
30:43
Please please I will answer please.
30:46
Thank you. This is difficult.
30:48
You know what's very difficult, what's going on?
30:51
But please, if I will answer whatever you need to know for
30:55
me. Over here, over here.
30:57
I, I did not expect to go to that meeting and that that's for
31:01
sure. I'll be open.
31:02
I'm an open person and I was just opening up to Miss Dozier
31:07
about my no. You weren't.
31:10
You were interfering with the intake process.
31:13
She was just trying to get certain things done.
31:16
I can I mentioned something? Go ahead.
31:20
I I was talking to Miss Dozier in a meeting and there was some
31:25
confusion, some confusion. I was confused and I was
31:29
explaining to her why? Because the magistrate informed
31:33
if I go to community, when I go to community corrections,
31:37
because he's ordered me to go there and I did everything he
31:40
told me to do. And when I, when I and when we
31:43
were in, when we were in court, when I was in jail and we were
31:47
in court, he mentioned about corrections and I already passed
31:52
experience with community corrections.
31:53
So I understand that these things cost money and I excuse
31:58
me please, I'm not interrupting anyone and I don't do that.
32:02
So I do alright. But once I once I was ordered to
32:09
go there, I mentioned judge in court.
32:11
I said judge, I do not have any money.
32:14
I just do not have any money judge.
32:16
And he said that's OK, Community corrections will not turn you
32:20
away if you do not have any money.
32:22
So when I went to community corrections and met with her in
32:25
her office, I, I mentioned that to her.
32:29
She because she mentioned it, I asked her is this going to cost
32:32
me and she said yes. And I said OK, well I don't have
32:37
any money. And she mentioned that that
32:41
excuse me, I'm trying to talk. Sorry, I am trying to talk to
32:44
you. Here's a part of.
32:45
The problem? Your attorney is trying to save
32:48
you. Oh, you know what?
32:49
Don't throw your hands down. Bond revoke.
32:51
Adjourn. Next week, take him.
32:55
Your Honor, we can come back next week on the yes.
32:57
I appreciate that. Oh.
32:58
You better keep moving. I'll adjourn this out to the
33:02
14th. Appreciate that, your Honor.
33:05
Here's what I'm going to do. Because.
33:07
I think they're going to. Devote all their.
33:08
Resources there, and I don't have everybody in here courts
33:10
going to stand in races. So yeah, he had to take a recess
33:15
because all of his all of his staff had to go deal with that
33:20
guy. So he had no security in the
33:23
courtroom anyways, I thought you guys would appreciate that.
33:26
So I thought I'd take us in the way back machine there for a
33:29
moment. Let's let's get back into
33:33
today's stuff and let's go. Let's go back to Judge Oakley.
33:37
He's still on a roll at look. Good morning.
33:40
OK. I don't know why they did that.
33:41
She. Brought an Oceana brought it in.
33:44
Her she she also brought a register of action for thousand.
33:46
I think she thought it was no fuck.
33:48
OK. OK.
33:50
All right. Ma'am, did you discuss your or
33:52
go over your rights? Yes, Sir.
33:53
You understand those rights and the options they give you?
33:56
And do you understand the possible penalty for no ballot
33:58
operator's license on person up to 5 up to which means 0 to $500
34:03
fines plus court cost and zero to 90 days in jail?
34:08
I'm, I'm not putting you in jail on this.
34:13
Now I, I will also say this when this hits your record, Secretary
34:17
of State may re suspend you for 30 days because this is going to
34:21
tell them that you were driving on N1 when they didn't watch it.
34:24
Understood. So understanding all of that,
34:28
are you pleading guilty to the added charge to them and are you
34:31
doing so freely and voluntarily? Ma'am, did you drive a vehicle
34:34
on November 1, 2018 in Romulus? You told.
34:37
US. OK, if I if I told you, if I
34:41
told you that's what the ticket said, would that ring a bell?
34:44
All right. And at that time, was your
34:46
license suspended, revoked or denied?
34:48
Absolutely. Yeah.
34:49
All right. Any reason to think that that
34:51
information was inaccurate? OK.
34:54
I'll accept your plea to the charge.
34:55
Ma'am, are you working? Anthony, your.
34:59
Honor, I just. Started a part time position.
35:01
OK, where at? I went to Palmer Way here to me.
35:04
OK, good, good. I'm working there part time and
35:09
I have changed everything around.
35:11
OK. Abuse involved?
35:13
I mean it. How long you been clean?
35:17
Good for you. How?
35:19
What are you doing? Any recovery program?
35:22
OK. What else?
35:23
I also need treated for mental illness.
35:26
OK. Seeing the publication.
35:27
Psychiatrist. Good.
35:30
Good. And the hence I started the job
35:34

35:35
Thanks for doing so. You quit self medicating.
35:38
Yeah. Yeah.

Good for you. Keep up the good work.
35:44
All right? Keep up the good work. 78 days
35:47
today. 978 days today. Who's counting?
35:53
Yeah, good for you. Appreciate that.
35:56
Can you say more than you can say?
35:58
Two more things? I did not even I think the
36:01
faith, I didn't even know about this.
36:03
I didn't remember it was the musical because you were in all,
36:06
you were in the mess. I'm in the mess.
36:08
Yeah, I received the documentation in December, but I
36:10
had a hip replacement I got. You in here.
36:13
As soon as I go, I accept responsibility.
36:16
I'm going to pay anything. Just please don't throw me at
36:18
noon. I'm not going to throw you any
36:20
deal. Here's what I'm going to do.
36:22
Fines and costs are $750, which I'm suspending in light of your
36:26
978 days. Clean.
36:29
Go away. Have a lovely day.
36:31
Good luck with the job. Yeah, good luck with the job.
36:34
You as well. Sure.
36:36
And he's muted himself. Okie, Dokie, let's go to let's
36:41
go to Florida. Do our morning check in with
36:43
Wade Mercer. Miss Myrick.
36:46
There is probable cause in the complaint, ma'am.
36:49
Miss Myrick, the criminal history I've got shows no prior
36:53
history. Have you ever been arrested or
36:55
charged with a crime before, ma'am?
36:57
No, Sir. Great.
36:59
That's that's that's great. Miss Mark, listen to Mr.
37:01
McDaniel and Mr. Bale, and then we'll address your bond or your
37:04
release status. Mr. McDaniel, anything, just ask
37:07
for a condition release. Your Honor.
37:09
Thank you, Mr. Bale. Just ask for a reasonable
37:13
monetary bond and with no contact with the property which
37:18
is Rent-a-center. I'm asking for your post, a
37:21
conditional lease, what you're saying?
37:23
We're not. Opposed.
37:25
We'll leave it up to the court. Yeah.
37:28
Miss Mart, with that history, I'm going to give you a
37:30
conditional lease ma'am option so you can pick from the bond in
37:33
the conditional lease. Some people actually prefer a
37:36
bond. Your bond in your case will be
37:37
$2500 cash or surety. But I'm going to offer you a
37:41
conditional lease because your lack of any history, ma'am, you
37:43
would have the standard conditions of release and either
37:47
way you would have a condition no contact with that rental
37:49
agency or that rental company that you allegedly rented this
37:52
property from. I think it was Rent-A-Center it.
37:54
Was Shawna. That would be the company you
37:56
can have no contact with. So, Miss Meyer, do you
37:59
understand your choice between the bond and the release, ma'am?
38:02
Yes, Sir. And you prefer the conditional
38:04
release or would you prefer to close the bond?
38:08
Conditional release. All right, I'm going to grant
38:11
you a conditional release. The jail is going to.
38:13
They're going to let you get dressed in your regular clothes.
38:16
They're going to bring you to the courthouse because that's
38:18
where the conditional lease officers are at.
38:19
You'll meet with Mr. Goodson or Mr. Ham when you get here.
38:22
I know that we have a mock trial this morning.
38:24
What time you need her bra, Mr. Goodson?
38:26
You want to bra at normal time or what do you want to do?
38:29
Yeah, we. We're short of conditional lease
38:31
officer this morning, Corporal, so instead of bringing her, we
38:35
probably need to go back to the old way we used to do it.
38:37
Can you bring her to 11:00, Corporal?
38:40
Yes, I can. Thank you.
38:41
So let me talk to your sister. So she'll be downstairs about
38:45
11:00. The jail will bring her up here.
38:47
She'll meet with the conditional release officer, They'll go over
38:49
the release with her. They'll give her a chance to ask
38:51
any questions. They give her all the rules in
38:52
writing and then she's free to go.
38:54
If someone going to someone going to pick her up about 11.
38:57
So your sister says they got transportation covered for you.
39:00
So someone will be here to pick you up, Miss Myrick, about
39:02
11:00. And the other thing the jail
39:05
will do is they're also going to give you a written notice for
39:07
your next court date, which will be June 2nd at 8:30.
39:10
That'll be in the circuit courtroom.
39:12
And they'll give you that notice before you leave the jail.
39:14
Miss Myrick, do you have any questions?
39:16
No, Sir. The courtroom, any questions?
39:19
Do you have any questions? All right, Miss Myrick, wish you
39:22
the best. Thank you.
39:26
We have Kendrell Brown next. Brown.
39:29
Good morning. Mr. Brown.
39:30
You're here because you've been accused of one kind of battery
39:32
on a law enforcement officer. Mr. Brown, there is probable
39:35
cause for the charge, although it's a unique, unique fact
39:39
pattern alleged. Mr. Brown, I think you're
39:42
entitled to a bond. I think you also just got
39:44
released from from jail, I believe.
39:46
So. Let me listen to the attorneys
39:47
and I'm going to address your bond status.
39:49
Mr. McDaniel, Anything Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Bell?
39:55
You know, we would just be requesting A monetary bond and
39:58
no contact with the big and little.
40:02
Mr. Brown did get out of jail, I believe about two weeks ago.
40:05
Is there a he? Was trespassed.
40:08
For so there's a trespass warning there.
40:09
So he, the big Little is not actually the victim in the
40:12
criminal case. The victim be the law
40:14
enforcement officer. OK.
40:17
So, Mr. Brown, what I'm going to do is I'm going to set your bond
40:20
of $7500 cash or surety. You do have a condition, no
40:23
contact with that business. I'll start with this allegedly
40:26
occurred because they've already asked for trespass.
40:28
One of you can't go back there. Mr. Brown, the jail will give
40:31
you a notice for your next court date, which should be June the
40:33
2nd at 8:30. And Mr. Brown, you will get a
40:36
chance to use the phone in just a few minutes, Sir, to try to
40:39
post the bond. Mr. Brown, do you have any
40:41
questions? No questions.
40:43
Have a good day, Christopher Sanders.
40:47
Mr. Sanders. Good morning.
40:48
Mr. Sanders, You're here because you've been accused of multiple
40:51
charges. Let me tell you what you've been
40:52
accused of. Two counts of possession of
40:56
firearm by convicted felon. 1 Count of possession of
40:59
ammunition by convicted felon. 1 count of possession of a OR
41:04
Actually, it's not possession that's that's misnamed. 1 Count
41:07
of displaying or carrying a concealed firearm during the
41:10
Commission of a felony. Those are all second degree
41:13
felonies. Then you have tampering with
41:15
physical evidence of third degree felony, possession of
41:18
meth and possession of cocaine, both third degree felonies, and
41:21
resisting a law enforcement officer without violence.
41:24
That's a misdemeanor. So you have a total of eight
41:26
charges, 1 misdemeanor and seven felonies.
41:29
There is probable cause for all 8 charges.
41:31
I did take a look at your criminal history and it appears
41:34
you've been to prison 10 times getting out most recently in
41:37
2019. Obviously that's going to affect
41:40
your bond. Mr. Sanders.
41:41
I'm going to listen to the attorneys and I'm going to set
41:43
your bond in these cases. Mr. McDaniel, anything on behalf
41:46
of Mr. Sanders, Mr. Bell, your. Honor, given the defendant's
41:54
criminal history and the charges of nature, we request a higher
41:57
bond and also the he be subject to random your analysis.
42:02
Thank you. So, Mr. Sanders, I want to set
42:04
your bond at $25,000 each on your second good felonies.
42:07
You have four of those? Yeah, you have four of those.
42:12
The third of your felonies, the tampering, the two controlled
42:15
substances, those 3 will be $10,000 each and then $5000 on
42:19
the misdemeanor. When you add those together, you
42:21
get a total bond of $135,000. If my math is right, $135,000
42:28
bond cash or sure. Do you do have a condition of
42:30
random ear analysis, Mr. Sanders?
42:32
That means you could be drug tested if and when you do
42:34
postpone? Mr. Sanders, you also will be
42:37
given a notice for your court date.
42:39
Your court date will be June 2nd at 8:30.
42:42
Mr. Sanders, do you have any questions, Sir?
42:44
I have Sir, I have a concern of. The.
42:48
Marriage of the incident, it's not my, it's not my vehicle.
42:55
OK. I wouldn't talk about the charge
42:57
that you're accused of, but the allegations are that you had
43:02
firearms in the vehicle and that you actually took one of the
43:04
firearms out and got out of the car with you when the officer,
43:07
it could have been a lot worse situation from where the
43:09
complaint reads that they told you to leave the vehicle, the
43:12
firearms in the car, and according to the complaint, you
43:14
got out with one of the firearms in your hand.
43:17
And the officers, I don't know if they had their weapons drawn
43:21
or not. They probably did.
43:23
And then you threw it across the road, allegedly so.
43:26
Whose? Whose vehicle it was is a minor
43:28
part of this. You've got you've got some very
43:29
serious charges. Do you have any questions, Sir?
43:35
So my bond is except for 137,100 and $35,000 bond for the 8
43:41
charges you have. Yes Sir.
43:47
John Wilson. Mr. Wilson.
43:49
Good morning. Mr. Wilson.
43:50
I. Think you were held?
43:51
Seven days for Marion County to see if they're going to file a
43:53
violation of probation. I looked in the file this
43:55
morning in Marion County and I see no affidavit filed and no
43:59
warrant filed. Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Bell, do you
44:02
agree? I agree.
44:04
So, Mr. Wilson, I'm going to release that hold for Marion
44:08
County that this doesn't mean they won't violate your
44:10
probation. You had a recent violation, the
44:12
probation within the last month that may be playing into this.
44:16
I I don't know. But right now there's no warrant
44:19
for you, so I'm not going to continue to hold you.
44:21
Mr. Mr. Wilson, you have the right to post the bond that was
44:24
set for you. If you post the bond that was
44:26
set, you'll be released. Mr. Wilson, do you have any
44:28
questions? No, Sir.
44:30
Have a good day, Sir. We have Markim Romeus Ramez.
44:35
Good morning, Sir. You're here because you've been
44:37
accused of 1 count of burglary of a structure dwelling causing
44:41
damage in excess of $1000, Grand Theft between 750 and $5000.
44:47
Those are the two charges you have.
44:49
There is probable cause in the complaint.
44:51
I've also looked at your criminal history, which you got
44:53
a couple of charges. It's not horrible criminal
44:56
history, but you got a very serious charge.
44:58
One of these is a first degree felony, that that burglary
45:01
charge is a first degree felony. So it's a very serious charge.
45:04
I think you're entitled to a bond, as far as I can tell.
45:07
Let me see if the attorneys have any additional information
45:09
before I set that bond. Mr. McDaniel.
45:10
Anything. Nothing.
45:12
I'll just take into account, Mr. Majesty.
45:15
Thank you, Mr. Bell. Yeah, we'll just be requesting a
45:20
reasonable bond, no contact with the property.
45:23
Thank you. So Mr. May, it's almost, I
45:25
usually set up $50,000 bond on 1st degree felonies.
45:27
That's what I'm going to do. In your case, your bonds going
45:29
to be $50,000 on the burglary, $5000 on the Grand Theft.
45:33
Your total bond is $55,000 cash or surety.
45:37
You have a condition of absolutely no contact with that
45:39
property that you're accused of burglarizing.
45:41
You cannot go to that particular pharmacy that you're accused of.
45:44
Mr. Ramez, you'll get a chance to use the phone in a few
45:46
minutes, Sir. If you post the bond, you'll be
45:47
released. You also will be given notice
45:50
for your court date. We should be June 2nd at 8:30.
45:52
Do you have any questions, Sir? All right.
45:56
Have a good day, Sir. Next is Christopher Bell.
46:02
Mr. Bell. Good morning.
46:03
Mr. Bell. You have the same charges as
46:05
your Co defendant. You're charged with one count of
46:07
burglary with dwelling or structure causing damage in
46:10
excess of $1000, one count of Grand Theft between 7:50 and
46:14
5000 now. Corporal.
46:17
In the packet, there's a hold sentenced to.
46:20
Prison. Kilmore County State shows been
46:23
sentenced Department of Corrections, but there's no hold
46:25
on the jail sheet. I'll make sure y'all have that.
46:28
Yes, Sir, we got, I'll put it over to the side on the
46:31
document. I do see it over there.
46:34
It's on the far right. Thank you.
46:36
So Mr. Bell, you do have a hold from Department of Corrections.
46:38
I think you've entered A plea and been sentenced to three
46:40
years is what it looked like when I open that up.
46:42
So just be aware of that. You're still entitled to a bond
46:45
here. There's no point in posting it
46:47
unless you just want to go on the DOC.
46:49
If you post bond here, you go to DOC, but you're entitled to
46:52
bond. So I'm going to set you one.
46:53
Mr. Anything on behalf of Mr. Bell.
46:56
No, Your Honor, Mr. Mr. Bell, anything on on behalf of the
47:01
state. Your Honor, we would just be
47:03
requesting, I mean, I it's a formality at this point, but no
47:06
contact with the property given his DOC sentence.
47:09
So Mr. Bell, your criminal history is is much worse than
47:12
Mr. Rome. Is your bonds going to be
47:13
$75,000 on the burglary, $10,000 on the Grand Theft?
47:17
Your bond in Jackson County is $85,000.
47:19
You do have a condition no contact with the property that
47:21
was allegedly burglarized. Mr. Bell, do you have any
47:24
questions, Sir? June 2nd will be your court date
47:27
at 8:30. I looked at it and I'm pretty
47:31
sure it is because I put it in this.
47:35
Let's double check. That's the way it is on the
47:39
warrant, too. Yeah, it's Christopher, not
47:42
Christopher, is it? We have Lloyd Lukidis, ma'am.
47:49
Good morning. You're here because you have two
47:51
out of county warrants. I think they're both violation
47:53
of probation warrants and they both have no Bond Mountain,
47:56
ma'am. So what's going to happen is
47:58
you'll go to either Washington County or Calhoun County next
48:00
and see if you can resolve this and if they other counties still
48:03
has a war on you when you get through the first county, you'll
48:05
then go to the second one, but both counties have no bond
48:08
warrants. Do you have any questions,
48:09
ma'am? No, Sir.
48:11
All right, ma'am, wish you the best.
48:12
Thank you. Yes, ma'am, We have Tiffany
48:15
Eubanks. Eubanks, good morning.
48:19
You're here because you've been accused of two counts of
48:22
uttering, one count of Grand Theft and then there are two
48:26
charges that are left off of the jail sheet.
48:29
Mr. Corporal, there's a complaint in here when she they
48:33
serve these warrants. Yesterday there was a
48:35
possession. Actually, I don't think there
48:37
are warrants and they made the probable cause arrest yesterday.
48:41
They had a separate complaint in the packet that y'all sent me
48:44
for possession of meth and possession drug paraphernalia.
48:47
So you actually have 5 charges, 2 utterings, 1 Grand Theft, one
48:52
meth and one paraphernalia. Three of those are four of those
48:55
are felonies and one's a misdemeanor.
48:57
So the jail sheets wrong. Mr. McDaniel, Miss Eubanks, I
49:01
did take a look at your criminal history which was perfect before
49:04
this. What I've been provided shows no
49:06
prior criminal history, I think. Let me check and see.
49:10
There was a drug paraphernalia that this one.
49:13
That's this one. Yeah.
49:14
I showed nothing before this. So I think you're entitled to a
49:17
bond. Miss Eubanks.
49:18
I'm going to listen to to the attorneys before I set that
49:21
bond. Mr. McDaniel, anything on behalf
49:23
of Miss Eubanks. Thank you, Mr. Bell.
49:28
I was going to make a let the court know that there are two
49:33
misdemeanor review cases stemming from her involvement
49:35
with the other Eubanks is that we have seen also.
49:40
I just want to bring it to the court's attention, but as it
49:43
pertains to the five charges she has today, we're requesting no
49:47
contact, obviously, and random U as.
49:51
Thank you. So Miss Eubanks, I'm going to
49:53
set your bond at $5000 each on your felony, felony charges.
49:56
There are four of those $2500 on your misdemeanor paraphernalia,
50:00
ma'am. That makes your total bond be
50:02
$22,500 cash for surety. You have a condition of random
50:08
urinalysis and you also have a condition no contact with the
50:10
alleged victim in the uttering case in the uttering and Grand
50:14
Theft case. Miss Eubanks, do you have the
50:16
right to use the phone in a few minutes to try to post the bond?
50:20
And Miss Eubanks, you also, ma'am, will be given a notice
50:23
from the jail for your court date which will be June 2nd at
50:25
8:30. Miss Eubanks do you have any
50:27
questions? Just.
50:30
Doing the what was the total amount again?
50:32
22/5. Nothing else.
50:36
Mike Murphy. Or the review.
50:38
Or the additional two met possession of meth and
50:40
possession of paraphernalia. Miss Mr. Murphy, good morning.
50:44
So State versus Mike Murphy. Mr. Murphy, you're here for a
50:46
new charge of trespassing. Mr. Murphy, there is probable
50:49
cause in this complaint. You're already on probation for
50:53
a separate trespassing. So this morning, the probation
50:55
office filed an affidavit of violation of probation.
50:59
I signed a no bond warrant. So we need to get that warrant
51:01
served on you first so we can get the warrant out of the
51:03
system. So please listen to Sergeant
51:05
Applewhite. Mr. Murphy, let's get this
51:07
warrant served and then we're going to try to deal with these
51:09
cases. Mr. Sergeant Applewhite.
51:11
Thank you. Your Honor, this is Sergeant
51:13
Gary Applewhite with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
51:16
Are you Mike Murphy? Yes.
51:18
Is your date of birth October 24th of 52?
51:22
Yes, Sir. Mr. Murphy, I have in my hand a
51:26
copy of the rest warrant that has been issued to you for
51:30
violation of county probation. Understand that this warrant is
51:34
now served on you and a copy of this warrant will be provided to
51:37
you before the end of Business Today.
51:40
Thank you. So that's the reason we do it
51:42
that way, Mr. Murphy is I don't want you getting picked up two
51:45
or three or four or six months from now on the old warrant.
51:47
So we we did that just to get that warrant served and out of
51:50
the system. So you're accused of violation
51:52
of county probation and you're accused of your new trespass.
51:54
I'm appointing the public center's office to represent
51:56
you. Please listen to Mr. McDaniel,
51:58
your attorney. I spoke to Mr. Murphy, he's
52:00
going to have no contest or charges listed and admit the
52:03
violation of probation in 25452. MMM understanding he'll be since
52:07
the four months the county jail will be a $370 fine new case
52:10
remaining fine note in the old case one day jail credit.
52:13
This will resolve this case. He signed this two everyone
52:15
waivers right to three trials and call.
52:17
Witnesses. All run.
52:17
Confirmed. Thank you, Mr. Goodson.
52:21
And a fine balance on his violation of probation is
52:25
$290.00. 290 And Mr. Bell, is that all agreeable with the
52:29
state? It is your honor.
52:30
And Mr. Murphy, did you hear that agreement, Sir?
52:33
Pardon. Did you hear that agreement, Mr.
52:34
Murphy? Yes.
52:36
And Mr. Murphy, is that the plea you would like to enter?
52:38
Pardon. Four months.
52:40
Say yes, yes. OK.
52:43
Do you have any questions, Mr. Murphy?
52:45
Mr. Murphy? Mr. Murphy, do you have any
52:46
questions? Any questions?
52:49
No, Your Honor. OK, Mr. Murphy, I'm going to
52:52
accept your plea of no contest to the charge of trespass and
52:55
the new charge. I'm also going to accept your
52:57
admission that to violate the terms and conditions of your
52:59
probation and revoke that probation.
53:01
Both sentences will be the same. Four months in a county jail,
53:04
adjudicate guilty concurrent with each other, 370 court costs
53:08
and fines, and the old case you have 290 left.
53:10
So that's the total court costs and fines.
53:12
You have credit for one day served on both cases.
53:15
Those will be reduced to a civil judgement if you don't get them
53:18
worked off at the jail. So Mr. Murphy, you have a total
53:20
of four months, but hopefully you'll get you some game time
53:23
for the trustee program and not serve that whole time.
53:26
Mr. Murphy, do you have any questions?
53:29
Your Honor. Wish you the best, Sir.
53:32
Mr. McDaniel, I think that's it for Public Defenders for first
53:35
appearances, unless I miss something, anything else from
53:37
the Public Defenders office. You're muted.
53:40
I think you're muted still. Oh.
53:42
You're not. And Corporal, anything else from
53:44
the jail? No, Sir, Mr. Bell from the
53:48
State. No, Your Honor.
53:50
Mr. McDaniel, I know that you you have something after this
53:53
because you're not able to do the mock trial thing.
53:56
What time does that start, Mr. McDaniel?
53:58
I got to go do so. All right, Anyways, that takes
54:02
care of that court. Let's go up to let's go to
54:08
Michigan. Judge Elmore, see what's.
54:11
Good morning and welcome to the 28th Circuit Court here in
54:13
Westford County. And we begin today's doctor call
54:17
by taking up the case of People, the State of Michigan versus
54:20
Michael Joseph Cowett. This is file #26-14185 Dash.
54:28
FC. Appearances from Council please.
54:31
Good morning, Your Honor, you're in house on behalf of people.
54:33
Thank you. Thank you, Honor Taylor.
54:36
And, and if you're on behalf of the defendant who is making his
54:39
way from the jail area? All right.
54:43
Thank you very much. Mr. Callaway is now being
54:45
escorted. Here in the courtroom.
54:47
And is. Now.
54:49
Seated at the defense table, we are here today.
54:53
For. Two issues, at least initially.
54:57
The first one. Is a a.
55:02
Final pre trial conference This case is currently set for trial
55:07
on May 26th if I recall, or at least to.
55:12
Begin on that date. And we also have a bond motion
55:18
by the defence. Oh, wait, hold on.
55:20
No. Actually, I know we would like
55:21
to motion on the record today, Your Honor.
55:23
I was reading. The other line above it, but I
55:25
know we've got a motion for that today as well.
55:28
So let's first cover the final pretrial conference portion.
55:33
I met briefly with the council and Chambers.
55:37
I know there was some other talk going on.
55:40
Miss Ribento, do we have any resolution to enter in the
55:43
record today? No, you're there was a offer
55:47
that wasn't over. I reviewed it with my client.
55:49
My client is rejecting it. That offer would be to.
55:53
Essentially plead guilty to two counts of CSE first and two
55:55
counts of CSE second. There was some other
55:59
considerations there for sentencing.
56:01
If my client is a hard no on that, we would like to proceed
56:04
to trial on the 26th and I know we have to address the issue of
56:07
the prosecutor's new motion that was filed and was on.
56:09
Tuesday. All right, well, let's take a
56:11
look at it now. I don't think the people.
56:13
Filed a motion. I'm sorry.
56:15
Notice. I got it.
56:16
But they did file. A.
56:18
Notice of intent to present evidence at the trial pursuant
56:23
to MCL 768.27. B.
56:27
When we were last on the record, I think we were.
56:33
Yeah, we. See when we were here for the
56:35
motion on the expert witness, if I recall, and we talked about
56:43
government let us know that there might be some reason to
56:46
extend it out as they were continuing to conduct
56:48
investigation or at least where law enforcement officers were.
56:52
I said, well, we're not going to adjust any dates now because I
56:55
wanted to keep the pressure on law enforcement's too complete
56:58
their investigation. This motion, not motion, but
57:02
information that was filed on May 6th, as far as I know it's a
57:07
culmination of that investigation placing the
57:09
people, placing the defendant defense counsel on notice of
57:15
details. So next question becomes what do
57:21
we do? Do we?
57:23
Is there going to be a motion? Eliminate filed by the defense.
57:27
That. You might.
57:29
Sorry, I just Linda here. When you go by which really
57:34
would be a motion eliminate, eliminate by the defense.
57:38
So we can call it a response, but really it's a motion to be
57:41
filed by the defense. So does the defense like to file
57:45
and have a hearing on the admissibility of that evidence?
57:49
Yes, Your Honor. And I could get that in I
57:51
believe by Tuesday of next week. There is some stuff in there
57:55
that's new, but a lot of it is things that we expected already
57:58
and it's similar to what was back at the planar exam, OK.
58:01
Thank you. All right.
58:03
Well, I know next week I am in Lansing on Thursday and I am on
58:11
a semi vacation on Friday and the following Monday, Tuesday
58:17
and Wednesday. So I know we're going to have
58:21
some limited time as a hearing and that's going to take next
58:25
Friday would be the 15th. So we know we're pushing into
58:31
toward the end of May 1 moment. Yeah.
58:35
So unless we have a hearing on Wednesday the 13th next week,
58:41
which I believe I have quite a bit of availability.
58:45
The other is, is now we're pushing the hearing into the
58:50
last week of May, which is when the trial is currently
58:53
scheduled. All right, so.
58:56
I'm going to turn it over to Miss House.
58:57
Miss House, you do you and I, sorry.
58:59
We all spoke in chambers about some availability of witnesses
59:04
and potentially a request to adjourn by the defense.
59:08
During the trial, I mean. Not by the defense, by the
59:10
people. I'm sorry by.
59:11
The people, thank you. I have all this.
59:13
Go ahead and miss, your honor. The notice that I filed is
59:17
lengthy. It's 34 pages long.
59:19
It goes into very specific detail about prior acts of
59:23
domestic violence that the People intend to present
59:26
evidence of, that the defendant started committing, excuse me,
59:29
in 2003 to 2008 with the mother of three of his children and
59:34
then between 2010 and 2019 with the mother of the victim in this
59:39
case. So 768.27 B allows for admission
59:43
of domestic violence evidence in sexual assault trials and sexual
59:47
assault evidence in domestic violence trials.
59:50
But that is a little more unusual than sometimes when we
59:52
admit domestic violence evidence in a domestic violence trial and
59:57
such as that. So I certainly want to make sure
1:00:00
that we're protecting all of the defendants rights in the
1:00:02
situation, so. While it's not an automatic
1:00:06
admissibility, the court is still required under 768 to do a
1:00:10
four O 3 analysis. So therefore it almost requires
1:00:14
or demands the court to review that.
1:00:16
All right, yes. So there are those issues.
1:00:18
And then obviously, whatever the result is of the court's
1:00:21
decision in terms of whether all of this evidence, some of this
1:00:24
evidence, none of this evidence will be admissible.
1:00:27
The trial is also going to probably impact both the
1:00:30
defendant's decisions about whether he wants to accept the
1:00:33
offer or go to trial as well as it could affect whether the
1:00:36
people want to make a different offer at that point.
1:00:38
So my concern about pushing this so close to the trial is that I
1:00:42
don't know that it leaves enough time for all of that to occur.
1:00:46
I also am not sure whether this court is going to want all of
1:00:48
our other acts witnesses to appear and testify.
1:00:52
Is that an evidentiary hearing or is it simply a hearing where
1:00:56
I as an officer, the court, make an offer of proof about what I
1:00:59
believe that these people are going to testify to that may
1:01:01
impact how much time we need to be able to conduct that.
1:01:05
So I just have a concern that to thoroughly address this to make
1:01:09
sure that we are, you know, not proceeding to trial on anything
1:01:11
that we shouldn't, that we protect the defendants rights.
1:01:14
It just doesn't seem to make sense to me that we're going to
1:01:16
be able to get all that done in a meaningful way and then
1:01:19
afterwards negotiate before a trial that starts on the 26th.
1:01:23
All right. As.
1:01:25
Far as it evidentiary hearing, it's up to.
1:01:27
The people. As to how they present that
1:01:29
evidence, it could be by an officer of the court.
1:01:34
However, I would say it would should be something more than
1:01:37
that because I think I need to have some evidence to be able to
1:01:41
consider it. That could then come either
1:01:44
through a live witness testimony or other things such as police
1:01:51
reports, recordings of interviews, things like that.
1:01:56
Whatever the but that's all up to the people.
1:01:58
I'm not going to tell them how to present it, but and then if
1:02:03
the defense wishes to have other both witnesses here, that can be
1:02:07
something you all take care of. All right.
1:02:10
So we I'll also note that this and added, we're sorry, were
1:02:14
these witnesses added to the witness list?
1:02:17
Yes, they have been, Your Honor. All right.
1:02:20
Were they added within 28 days of the trial date or were they
1:02:24
added when you submitted the notice?
1:02:26
They were actually, I filed the new witness list this morning
1:02:30
and it doesn't include these new witnesses.
1:02:32
Some of them were on a witness list that we had before.
1:02:36
I think it's just the new witness CVS who we didn't know
1:02:42
about before. All right, So that means we are
1:02:46
within the 6 to 28 days of trial.
1:02:50
So I assume therefore the people are requesting or motion in the
1:02:54
court to permit the additional witnesses outside of that 28
1:02:57
days. Yes, All right, thank you.
1:03:00
Yes, ma'am, I was. Going to say we are not within
1:03:02
the rule for the 28 days and we would in fact for CVS.
1:03:06
As for Miss Barkley, again she testimony she her testimony was
1:03:10
at the preliminary exam. I wouldn't say that this is
1:03:13
necessarily a surprise that this is being filed.
1:03:17
That said, I would emphasize the fact that there have been prior
1:03:22
requests by the people to adjourn that may trial date and
1:03:25
my client has refused. My client wants his day in
1:03:28
court. He's demanded his right to jury
1:03:30
trial. The fact that this is being
1:03:32
filed, well, it's within the 15 days.
1:03:34
It feels with this additional evidence from CBS, which again
1:03:38
could have been obtained at any other point, we're almost 180
1:03:41
days for speedy trial. It it feels like a backdoor
1:03:44
attempt to try to strong arm my client into an adjournment
1:03:49
because the people are not prepared for trial, instead of
1:03:53
being an actual legitimate attempt to bring in 2017.
1:03:58
Thank you. And just to be clear, this new
1:04:01
witness was interviewed the week prior.
1:04:05
I didn't receive the report until 7:00 PM on Tuesday night
1:04:11
and then I completed directly on motion on filed at I think 11:30
1:04:15
AM the next day. So I did the best that I put on
1:04:17
that. But I don't have control over
1:04:19
when she got interviewed and there was a delay in getting the
1:04:21
report to me. First of all, the the argument
1:04:27
here against the modification of the witness list, which is
1:04:32
really the question, is somewhat circular.
1:04:37
It. Wasn't an unfair surprise.
1:04:40
Therefore there is no unfair prejudice and everybody knew
1:04:46
about it, but they were just getting the statements.
1:04:48
Now, the alternative could have been and maybe the defense.
1:04:52
Would. Have liked it or probably not
1:04:56
liked it. Gone to trial without a
1:05:00
statement. They don't have to go get police
1:05:04
statements or interviews of a witness.
1:05:06
They can just list witnesses and never have a report statement,
1:05:11
which probably defense attorney wouldn't want.
1:05:15
You'd probably want that statement right to prepare to
1:05:20
cross examine a witness. Your Honor, I think there is
1:05:23
some confusion. There were two witnesses listed
1:05:26
in the notice. One is Miss Barkley, who we have
1:05:29
known about since prelim and who testified at prelim and who had
1:05:31
statements from her at prelim. The other is CVS who is newly
1:05:34
disclosed. So if the question is unfair
1:05:36
surprises to CVS, very likely that could be an argument.
1:05:40
But again, we're going to catch 22 because there is no reason
1:05:43
that people could not have interviewed CVS way before we
1:05:47
were close to 180 day mark. Why are we wait?
1:05:50
I, I understand the situation. There's no reason this notice
1:05:52
couldn't have been filed sooner. It's been the.
1:05:55
OK, I'm sorry. Go ahead.
1:05:56
This is fence isn't a catch 22 because if we agree to the
1:06:01
adjournment, my client is sitting here, his wife is due to
1:06:04
give birth to their child any day and she's having medical
1:06:06
complications. On the other hand, we don't go
1:06:09
for it on the 26th or I'm sorry, we do go for it on the 26th and
1:06:13
we're potentially at this disadvantage.
1:06:14
I've talked to my client about the pros and cons.
1:06:17
He wants to go for it on the 26th.
1:06:18
He doesn't want this further delayed.
1:06:20
He claims he is in a sense, and at the end of the day the
1:06:23
evidence is it's a pure, he said, she said type of case.
1:06:26
OK, All right. So let's go back to it.
1:06:29
The fact is, is that am I correct?
1:06:32
We you've all known about CVS for a while.
1:06:35
Not CVS. We've known about this part.
1:06:37
We've. Known about TV?
1:06:39
We've not known about CVS. So how?
1:06:41
Is there evidence to suggest that the prosecution was not
1:06:45
exercising due diligence to get CVS?
1:06:49
If nobody knew about CVS until recently, the.
1:06:52
Defense didn't know. About the prosecution.
1:06:55
I don't know when the prosecutor found out about CBS.
1:06:57
Well, that's got to be the argument.
1:06:58
The argument to say that you feel like this.
1:07:00
Is. A back door or some kind of
1:07:02
tactical advantage or disadvantage.
1:07:05
There's no evidence that it is an intentional.
1:07:08
Or. Negligent.
1:07:09
Delay and. Finding something out.
1:07:13
So. I don't understand.
1:07:16
That would be a question from this House when she learned
1:07:18
about CBS. But she just got the report.
1:07:23
Now keep in mind the other point here is you could have just
1:07:30
added the one time. When did you add it to the
1:07:32
witness list? Well, I.
1:07:34
I just added it today, waiting for the court to rule whether
1:07:37
she could or couldn't testify, but then I thought I'd better
1:07:39
just add her presumptively. Yeah, well, this is one of those
1:07:44
instances where if I say what I think, which I think I'm
1:07:50
required to because I need to establish the reasoning of my
1:07:54
ruling, somewhere down the road somebody who is sitting at Sato
1:07:59
was going to go, Oh my gosh. And his ruling, he gave legal
1:08:04
advice. Now, I'm not trying to give
1:08:06
legal advice and I'm not trying to be injudicious.
1:08:09
Let's think about this. Let's say I don't allow CBSI
1:08:13
highly suspect that Miss Fioravento is going to cross
1:08:17
examine witnesses. Then does that.
1:08:21
Become the CBS, become relevant and remodel.
1:08:24
I also don't know what witnesses the defense is going to present.
1:08:28
Are they going to present any witness that might say that the
1:08:31
defendant would never do this? If they did, it becomes rebuttal
1:08:38
evidence. You open the door now for you
1:08:41
all to probably make an educated decision about what questions to
1:08:44
ask and not ask specifically on the defense.
1:08:47
It seems like you would want to have the police report.
1:08:51
So they had to have time to gather the information to be
1:08:55
able to get the police report. Now Miss House would have had
1:08:59
the out, would have had the choice a week or two weeks ago
1:09:03
to just add the witness to the witness list and I would have
1:09:06
approved. It if it was within.
1:09:08
That outs. You know, within the 28 day rule
1:09:11
and she didn't have to go get it, but she went out and got the
1:09:14
report, which helps the defense be prepared.
1:09:17
Therefore, I find that there is no unfair practice or surprise.
1:09:23
In fact, it's quite helpful to both sides in establishing their
1:09:29
cases in chief, both the direct and the cross examination.
1:09:34
Therefore, the court grants the oral motion to add amend the
1:09:39
witness list outside the 28 days.
1:09:42
OK. Now the next question is about
1:09:45
adjourning the trial. I believe we talked about and
1:09:48
that's to be and I don't remember if you've already
1:09:50
raised that Miss House, you may raise it.
1:09:53
Yes, Your Honor. So I guess I didn't say the
1:09:55
specific words, but. I could remember.
1:09:58
Yeah, due to the timing of this, I'm just saying that I'm
1:10:01
concerned for protecting our appellate record that we not
1:10:04
rushed through something that could be that this is very
1:10:07
significant evidence. If this comes in at trial, this
1:10:09
is going to be incredibly damning to the defendant.
1:10:12
We want to make sure that we only let in what's appropriate,
1:10:14
what the court deems to be appropriate.
1:10:16
The court's going to need to make a ruling about whether
1:10:18
evidence going as far back as 2003 can come in.
1:10:21
If I need to have all these people testify, I will need some
1:10:25
time to find out when they're available.
1:10:27
And to do that, if the court instead wants to review recorded
1:10:31
interviews that we probably have, that's all, I would
1:10:33
imagine it's like 8 hours of recorded interviews.
1:10:35
It's all up to you and how you all presented to whether it's in
1:10:39
an interview and let's say for example, you were just to
1:10:42
provide to the court a police report or even just the witness
1:10:46
of the officer who investigated it.
1:10:51
I would expect the defense to maybe object.
1:10:53
So it might be that I need to look at the actual interviews.
1:10:57
That's all up to you all. I'm just sitting here waiting to
1:11:00
call the balls and strikes. OK, Mr. Evento your.
1:11:03
Response as to the. Request to adjourn the trial
1:11:06
date. Thank your honor.
1:11:07
We're going to object. And before going on the record
1:11:09
today, I did talk to my client about the pros and cons of
1:11:12
objecting in light of this 27 B. He's going to catch 22.
1:11:18
And I've mentioned this already. On the one hand, if he agrees to
1:11:21
this adjournment, he continues to sit in jail.
1:11:24
His wife is due to have a baby any day in a complicated
1:11:27
pregnancy situation, and he's here away from all of that, and
1:11:31
he's already close to his 180 days.
1:11:34
On the other hand, I understand the Court's concerns.
1:11:37
When does when does his 180 days run?
1:11:40
I have that he's at 150 days from his bond date as of today,
1:11:43
but I believe he was picked up an extra day before that.
1:11:45
If I may, what was the date to picture?
1:11:47
Again, the 18th. November by 170 days today.
1:11:50
He he says he was picked up on the 18th of November and I'll
1:11:53
run a calculator on that. According.
1:11:55
To the 19th of. November.
1:11:57
I'm sorry. Sir, can you hold on?
1:12:00
According to. The.
1:12:02
Register of Actions from the Disk report.
1:12:07
He wasn't arrested until December 8th.
1:12:12
Where was he between November 19th and December 8th?
1:12:17
He had he was living out of state.
1:12:20
See the offense state happens to be November 19th of 2016.
1:12:26
So when did he get arrested out of state?
1:12:29
He says November 19th of 2025. OK, I'm going to need some proof
1:12:34
of that because right now, according to the court files, he
1:12:39
was not arrested until December. 8th.
1:12:43
Again, even if we're arrested on December 8th, which is what my
1:12:46
records show, that still is 150 days as of today, which means if
1:12:50
we adjourn out, we are going past 180.
1:12:53
Days Were there any adjournments of the case while the matter was
1:12:57
in the District Court? That was Mr. Hotel, Your Honor,
1:13:02
I do not know. I think there was a brief.
1:13:04
The preliminary exam was scheduled initially for December
1:13:07
23rd, which is right before Christmas.
1:13:09
And then we. Stipulated.
1:13:11
And the partners? Waived the 21 days and it got
1:13:14
pushed out to the 13th of. January maybe?
1:13:17
So you got a two to three-week gap there.
1:13:20
So you actually whatever number you calculate, add at least 14
1:13:23
days. Even then, Your Honor, if we're
1:13:26
adjourned, we are going to go past that 180 days.
1:13:31
Well, I don't know that because I don't know when he was
1:13:34
actually arrested on it. But if let's say that he was
1:13:38
arrested on the 8th of December, that's a. 150 days as of today.
1:13:46
Yep. That means at least as of today
1:13:49
we have another 30 days left. And then if I add the 14 days
1:13:54
for the days that you all agreed by stipulation to adjourn the
1:13:59
preliminary exam, I'm now at 65 days, which puts me into the
1:14:04
middle of the end of June, middle beginning of July, almost
1:14:09
the end of June. So we have six weeks to go to
1:14:12
trial. So his 180 days trial clock is
1:14:16
not there, all right. Plus I would have to have.
1:14:20
Evidence. That because if there is
1:14:22
unavailability of witnesses despite the exercise of due
1:14:26
diligence, things like that, the court can consider an extension
1:14:30
beyond 180 days. But I want you to be careful and
1:14:35
I'm also concerned about the appellate issue.
1:14:39
If I forced you to have the hearing next Wednesday on the
1:14:44
768 information you are, I'm going to make that ruling
1:14:50
probably that day or the next day.
1:14:54
So I'm not even in the office. I, I, I'm really concerned that
1:15:00
you're not thinking about the appellate issue.
1:15:02
I guarantee you if, and I don't know what the evidence is yet, I
1:15:06
haven't read the preliminary exam and I have not yet read
1:15:10
Miss Houses 768 notice. I guarantee if there were a
1:15:14
conviction, the very, very first thing an appellate defender
1:15:18
would do is file a claim of ineffective assistance for not
1:15:22
agreeing to an extension when there's easily another six weeks
1:15:25
of time to be better prepared for the new witnesses.
1:15:29
Now, unless you're going to tell me that there's nothing in what
1:15:33
the 768 stuff says that is a surprise, including CBSI don't
1:15:38
know why I wouldn't grant it. Your Honor, I have spoken with
1:15:42
my client about the pros and cons of the decision to push for
1:15:46
the May 26th date versus to agree to the adjournment.
1:15:48
He wants to push for the May 26th date.
1:15:51
Your honors concerns are things we discussed.
1:15:54
He wants to push for the May 26th date.
1:15:57
OK. Well.
1:15:59
I think I have six weeks of flex time and we've got to today's
1:16:02
the 8th, the trial set for the 26th.
1:16:06
I've got two. I've got at least 3-4 weeks of
1:16:09
time before I'm even at the 180 day trial clock window.
1:16:14
Plus I don't have any element evidence today presenting that
1:16:17
there was a lack of due diligence 1 moment.
1:16:23
Let me just see if I have any other there's I need to know one
1:16:28
second. Heather, would you go Grandma
1:16:30
trial calendar? I know we talked about this.
1:16:38
Before while. In chambers, separate from that,
1:16:41
we're going to put that this question off to the side.
1:16:43
You also had another request that you mentioned in Chambers,
1:16:47
bond modification. Yes, Your Honor, we would
1:16:50
respectfully motion to modify bond at this time.
1:16:53
The purpose of bond is to ensure that an individual appears at
1:16:58
court for proceedings. It is not meant to serve as a
1:17:01
form of pretrial sanction. While there is debate on the
1:17:04
date, all parties agree that my client has been at least at the
1:17:07
Wexford County Jail since December 8th and it is currently
1:17:11
May his wife. He reports that his wife is due
1:17:14
to have a child any day now and is a medically complicated
1:17:17
pregnancy, or delivery at least. He.
1:17:21
And at the one hand, the report is saying we don't have any
1:17:23
proof that he was extradited or the date of that happening for
1:17:27
its reasoning on not adjourning and it's setting out a date.
1:17:31
But at the same time, I know the report has previously said,
1:17:33
well, since there was an extradition, that's evidence of
1:17:35
flight. Did he waive extradition?
1:17:40
He he ultimately waived extradition.
1:17:42
I'd have to look at my notes to see I so I'm not sure.
1:17:46
I think he may have initially said he was going to fight
1:17:50
extradition, ultimately waived. The situation is that he was
1:17:52
under investigation for these charges or about somewhere
1:17:57
between like 4 to 6 months. So he knew this was being
1:17:59
investigated when he up and quit his job, moved out of the place
1:18:03
that he had, took him and his family to Kansas.
1:18:06
Well, he knew this was under investigation.
1:18:08
And so then we had to get the US Marshals to go to Kansas to find
1:18:11
him, spend quite a bit of money to bring him back here.
1:18:14
So I think there's clear reason to be concerned about flight in
1:18:17
this case because he knew it was under investigation, chose to
1:18:19
leave while he knew the case was being investigated.
1:18:22
And so I have great concern that should he get out, if he's able
1:18:25
to travel, that he would leave. He also has lived here in this
1:18:29
area for a number of years now, but has also lived all across
1:18:33
the country in Washington and Louisiana and Florida and
1:18:36
Kansas. So his ties here are are
1:18:39
somewhat limited and he does have ties in other places.
1:18:42
Thank you, Mr. Evento. Your Honor, it's my
1:18:44
understanding who left. He was under investigation for a
1:18:47
Misaki CPS case. That case was resolved.
1:18:49
He left after that case was resolved.
1:18:52
There might have been something criminal still pending, but it's
1:18:54
my understanding he hadn't been charged with it and the SAKI
1:18:57
case had been resolved. Your Honor, it's people should
1:19:00
not have to sit around forever waiting to see if they may or
1:19:05
may not be charged for alleged criminal allegations that a
1:19:08
separate case with the lower evidentiary standard had already
1:19:11
been resolved on. In consideration of that, Your
1:19:14
Honor, we and again if the concerns flight those can be
1:19:17
which bond requires the least restrictive means possible.
1:19:21
We can address risk of flight with the tether.
1:19:23
We can address risk of flight with community corrections check
1:19:27
insurance. We can address it through other
1:19:29
methods and we would ask that the court and maybe impose those
1:19:33
methods instead. I understand the people's
1:19:35
concern, I understand the court's concern, but if we are
1:19:37
pushing an adjournment for an individual who's saying no, I
1:19:41
want my speedy trial. I want to go to trial.
1:19:43
I don't want this delayed. I believe the jury will find me
1:19:46
not guilty. We should at least give them a
1:19:48
chance at bond if by no fault of the clients it is being pushed
1:19:52
off. Thank you.
1:19:53
All right. Why did he go to Kansas?
1:19:55
What drew him to Kansas specifically?
1:20:00
Go ahead, my consultant, thank your honor.
1:20:03
He's informed me that his mother lives in Kansas and she was
1:20:05
starting to have dementia and other health issues, so they
1:20:08
went out there to be by her. He used to have a business in
1:20:10
this area because of everything that happened in the SAKI file,
1:20:13
the other files, he says when businesses failed, he wanted a
1:20:17
fresh start. He wanted to be by his mom all.
1:20:20
Right, so here's what the court is going to do.
1:20:23
And. Rule on these last two issues?
1:20:27
His house. Are you in court anywhere next
1:20:31
Tuesday? I am not.
1:20:36
Thank you. The court is going to reserve
1:20:40
its ruling on the motion to adjourn and the bond today is
1:20:45
going to bond modification today is denied.
1:20:48
If you wish to bring it up again next Tuesday, you can, because
1:20:53
that's when we're going to have our evidentiary hearing
1:20:56
objecting to the content of the about 768 notice.
1:21:02
All right, And we're going to set it.
1:21:04
I'm going to say what time, 9:30 on Tuesday here in the
1:21:09
courtroom. Now, that's going to put a
1:21:11
pinch. And I know you're probably going
1:21:13
to have some difficulty with bringing physical witnesses.
1:21:16
That's all right. You may present the evidence
1:21:19
through some other means. Now, what that does is it puts
1:21:23
the pressure on potentially the defense, which can call its own
1:21:27
witnesses. And if they choose to call those
1:21:29
actual witnesses such as CVS, they can go get some subpoenas
1:21:34
issued out. And if we need to adjourn it,
1:21:37
then they can always request to adjourn and add more time then
1:21:42
that gives me because it sounds like I've got to listen to an
1:21:45
entire day's worth of recordings.
1:21:47
Gives me Wednesday to do it since I'm not here Thursday and
1:21:51
Friday and next week is Monday's busy Thursday.
1:21:56
Friday I'm not here. The following.
1:21:58
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, then I leave again.
1:22:01
I'm only here for one day that week and then I'm gone Friday,
1:22:04
Saturday and Sunday. So you've got some very limited
1:22:08
time. So I've got three days that I'm
1:22:10
here between the trial date, so. My concern is that, you know, a
1:22:16
subpoena that I issued today isn't even going to be a valid,
1:22:19
I don't believe. No, which means you can present
1:22:23
any information that you want on Monday that can be in a physical
1:22:28
form, right, And then I can make a ruling based upon that.
1:22:33
Now, if any individuals need to be brought here and the defense
1:22:38
wishes for them to be brought. Here.
1:22:41
And they can object and then if they object, you therefore would
1:22:45
need more bingo. And then we can address that
1:22:52
will allow the defense to also establish and prepare a brief on
1:22:57
the 180 day trial clock window. I need time.
1:23:02
I need to know when he was arrested and then I need to know
1:23:07
when he was presented in another court for extradition and when
1:23:14
he fought the extradition and then how many days they delayed
1:23:19
the preliminary examination and need to be able to explain to
1:23:24
the court whether that those are accredited.
1:23:28
Sorry, accredited, sorry, the word is credited to either the
1:23:31
prosecution or the defense. Now they also need to consider
1:23:37
probably, and that's all up to them, what other dates are they
1:23:42
available 'cause this is going to be a four day trial.
1:23:46
So that's going to require the government, the defense and the
1:23:50
government to start thinking and specifically the defense 'cause
1:23:53
I know Miss House has a different arrangement with the A
1:23:56
GS office. Alright, who is going to handle
1:23:59
all your other cases on the other dates?
1:24:01
Because by next Tuesday, my staff will have every trial date
1:24:06
possible that will cover four days.
1:24:10
OK, Now while the defendant is saying, listen, I really want
1:24:14
this and want to push and I appreciate that and I do take
1:24:18
that into consideration. But what I really really need to
1:24:21
know is exactly on what date does 180 day trial clock window
1:24:27
end? OK.
1:24:29
Now that trial clock window is not a solid wall like everybody
1:24:33
thinks it is. OK.
1:24:36
And I can, pursuant to the court rule regarding pretrial release
1:24:41
MCR 6.106, I can consider the likelihood of conviction, which
1:24:47
by the way, I will have a pretty good image as of.
1:24:50
Tuesday. When I get to see all this other
1:24:52
evidence and I've been practicing, I don't know how
1:24:57
long this house has been, but over 3 decades and all I've ever
1:25:01
done is crim law. And as a defense attorney, 80%
1:25:06
of my caseload was CSE cases. So I get to apply some
1:25:10
discretion here. And while you may or may not
1:25:13
think about this and that appellate issues, I do so.
1:25:19
And I guarantee you the law is not going to say, well, the
1:25:23
defendant didn't care and pushed it and then they're going to
1:25:26
say, but the defense attorney should have told them no.
1:25:30
So I appreciate that position, but that's not the analysis that
1:25:34
I have to go through. So as of today, the court does
1:25:38
not grant any bond modification. I will adjourn that till Tuesday
1:25:41
as well. So next Tuesday we've got a
1:25:44
hearing set four and this is going to be probably a whole day
1:25:48
thing starting at 9:30. We're going to be talking about
1:25:53
the 768 admissibility. We're going to talk about
1:25:56
motions to adjourn and then we're going to talk about bond
1:26:01
and 180 day trial clock. And Miss House, if you could
1:26:05
please check with your new witnesses or whomever about
1:26:09
availability. Now particularly you've got a
1:26:14
expert witness and we've already ruled, I've already made a
1:26:17
ruling on that and her availability and witness
1:26:21
availability pursuant to Court Rules 6.004 says I may consider
1:26:28
witness availability and an expert witness I'm going to say
1:26:32
here is a really a very important witness because of
1:26:36
explaining to jurors certain facts.
1:26:38
That's our already what I ruled earlier back on April 27th.
1:26:43
All right. Anything else, Miss House?
1:26:45
Nothing today. Yeah.
1:26:46
Anything else? Miss Fiorbento?
1:26:47
Just for clarification, when do you want the written response to
1:26:52
the? Before we have our hearing.
1:26:54
OK. Would Monday be enough time for
1:26:55
your honor? Yeah.
1:26:58
I I don't have to write it, I just have to read it.
1:27:03
So, all right. Thank you very much.
1:27:05
We are adjourned. Okie dokie friends.
1:27:09
That seems complicated and messy and a poo poo show, but
1:27:15
sometimes that's how it rolls. TCF live on a Super Friday,
1:27:19
getting ready to close out our two in about 15 minutes.
1:27:23
We are just flying through the morning, aren't we?
1:27:26
Let's go to Lake County, Ohio, Judge O'Donnell and.
1:27:31
Perhaps waive the jury. At a later date, Mr. Mr. D Your
1:27:36
Honor, we have already waived time and this was refiled.
1:27:39
We have 22. Days left on a speed trial and
1:27:41
that's we took care. OK.
1:27:45
We took care of that right away. We anticipate that we will be
1:27:47
waiving the jury trial, but have to have that discussion again
1:27:49
with my client and then we'll notify the court that we
1:27:52
anticipate that that will happen.
1:27:54
And we had not approached on the previous filing for any offers.
1:27:59
So I believe the offers just plead as charged as basically
1:28:02
stated and my client this time is not going to be pleading
1:28:05
going forward to trial. All right here.
1:28:07
OK, so I'll, I'll give you a jury trial date for right now
1:28:13
until such time if and when a waiver is filed of June 15th at
1:28:18
8:00 AM and I'm going to set another hearing for June 3 at
1:28:23
9:00. If there is an offer and he's
1:28:27
going to plead, we'll do it that date.
1:28:29
And perhaps if he's going to file a jury waiver, we can do it
1:28:32
on the record that date. But whatever, we just, if he's
1:28:36
going to wait, we got to come in here and do it on the record and
1:28:38
we'll get a date for it. Separate date for a bench trial.
1:28:41
OK, so I'll make that for now. June 3rd at 9:00.
1:28:44
O'clock. Right.
1:28:46
Any else Miss Shepherd? No, thank you.
1:28:48
Mr. D. You said June 15th.
1:28:51
June 15th. The jury.
1:28:52
Yeah. Thank you.
1:28:53
Nothing further. All right, I'll.
1:28:58
Ask. Well, that was short and sweet.
1:28:59
We don't normally get that short and sweet out of Judge O'Donnell
1:29:02
without at least a couple of swear words put in there.
1:29:05
Let's go to Saint Joseph County. Judge Middleton has some bench
1:29:09
warrant arrangements from the looks of things.
1:29:11
Good. Morning, everyone.
1:29:13
Good morning, Miss Owen. Good morning.
1:29:18
The crowd has gathered on your behalf.
1:29:21
Mr. Keith Stickley is here from the Public Defender's office.
1:29:25
Mr. Daniel Phrase on your probation officer is here.
1:29:29
Prosecutor Anjali Canfield is here, and we've also got someone
1:29:32
from the victim advocate team at the prosecutor's office.
1:29:36
You got arrested last night on 2 separate files, 25202202 FY.
1:29:45
That's a technical probation violation, and I am the judge
1:29:52
supervising your probation. He also got arrested in 252597
1:29:59
for a violation of bond conditions and a charge of
1:30:03
domestic assault. Judge Patterson is handling that
1:30:08
case. And I agreed that I would do
1:30:10
both of these bench warrant arraignments this morning.
1:30:14
In 252203, you were charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
1:30:21
It was reduced to a misdemeanor charge of domestic assault.
1:30:25
He entered A plea and you were placed on probation.
1:30:28
Your original attorney in that case was Casey Strong, your
1:30:32
probation officer, as I indicated, Daniel Frazein, is
1:30:35
here. In the second case, you were
1:30:38
arrested again for domestic assault in December.
1:30:42
Attorney Luke Noffsinger was represented, wanted to represent
1:30:46
you. It was set for a jury trial in
1:30:49
February. I'm not sure what happened.
1:30:52
Anyway, then it was set for March 1st and I'm not sure what
1:30:57
happened, but there was not a plea and there was not a jury
1:31:00
trial. I understand you got picked up
1:31:03
last night in contact with Gregory Owens, who you're not
1:31:11
supposed to have any contact with.
1:31:13
There's also alleged to be multiple violations of your
1:31:16
probation, including no alcohol, no other assaulted.
1:31:20
Behavior Mr. Frazai, could you join us, please?
1:31:27
Daniel. I don't.
1:31:28
Your screen is frozen. I don't know if you can join us.
1:31:32
Apparently not. Where did you get arrested last
1:31:36
night? Three Rivers.
1:31:38
Neighbor's house. In Three Rivers.
1:31:42
Yes. The prosecutor doesn't often
1:31:45
show up for these simple misdemeanor bench warrant
1:31:47
arraignments, but they feel strongly enough about this one
1:31:50
that they are here. Miss Canfield, what's the
1:31:53
prosecutor's position here? Oh, thank you, Your Honor.
1:31:58
Well, my concern is that we're giving or attempting to give
1:32:02
Miss Owens rehabilitative tools that she obviously is not taken
1:32:07
advantage of with respect to the alleged probation violation.
1:32:11
And additionally, she's violating bond conditions that
1:32:15
are also in place. And this involved not only an
1:32:18
admission of consuming alcohol again, but an alleged threat to
1:32:23
another individual in the presence of the agent.
1:32:26
So this is really concerning behavior.
1:32:30
And at this point, I'm going to request, or at least think it
1:32:34
appropriate, that a higher cash bond be set or that it be
1:32:38
revoked pending a resolution on the other matter still before
1:32:45
the court, the 252597 SM. All right, Daniel, your screen
1:32:50
is frozen and I can't hear you or see you except a picture of
1:32:56
your handsome face staring at the space.
1:33:06
I can. Got it.
1:33:06
Let's. See if I can get.
1:33:09
Might be able to have him come here and pull up the cherries.
1:33:12
Time to put it that way. Yeah, Daniel's frozen.
1:33:18
I need, I need his input and I can't see him.
1:33:22
So yeah, yes, I think it's operator error, but we've got
1:33:36
you on the speakerphone. Miss Owens got picked up last
1:33:42
night. Miss Canfield is requesting that
1:33:45
bond be cancelled or raised. She's not entitled to a bond in
1:33:49
the probation violation case, but I understand that there's
1:33:54
some other issues going on. What else is happening?
1:33:57
Here well she's had several issues with testing I have 3
1:34:04
positive 1 to loot and one pending right now and she has
1:34:09
five no shows and she misses she's still.
1:34:12
Drinking. All right, Miss Owens, I'm going
1:34:14
to show a plea of not guilty on the probation violation and
1:34:21
appoint an attorney. Original attorney was Casey
1:34:26
Strong. Bond is cancelled, set APV
1:34:29
hearing can next week. In the other case, the one in
1:34:33
which you're on bond, there's no, I don't need to deal with a
1:34:37
bond because it's cancelled. In the other case, I'm going to
1:34:40
set a bond violation hearing with attorney Luke Noffsinger.
1:34:48
I understand the blood alcohol last night was something like
1:34:51
223. So we're struggling.
1:34:57
But you're like a ping pong ball bouncing around.
1:35:03
You're not in treatment very well.
1:35:05
You're not testing. You're still drinking.
1:35:07
You're violating, you know, contact provisions of
1:35:10
allegations. Right now I just need to hold on
1:35:13
to you. So I'm setting both of these for
1:35:16
a hearing probation violation with Daniel.
1:35:20
Now Miss Cantrell, did I also understand there may be another
1:35:24
assault charge pending. I'm.
1:35:26
Not I'm going to look and see. Can I ask for what?
1:35:34
Why would I have another assault charge?
1:35:37
I don't know. Someone said something to me
1:35:39
that may have been another charge pending, so maybe I'm
1:35:41
mistaken. I'm, I'm looking, Your Honor.
1:35:47
OK, can I answer again? That's impossible the.
1:35:52
Only one that is that domestic violence she tried to I.
1:35:59
Don't. I'm sorry, Mr. Phrasine.
1:36:03
What were you saying? She tried.
1:36:07
To to solve the message but judgment on its actual basis and
1:36:11
it got kicked back 251970. Eight.
1:36:16
Yes, it is. Yes, that's correct.
1:36:18
So there isn't a new one. That's the one that's still
1:36:21
pending, Your Honor. OK.
1:36:23
All right. We're going to have a probation
1:36:25
violation hearing regarding the allegations that you continue to
1:36:28
use alcohol in violation of your probation.
1:36:31
You refused to test, tested positive, Then there also is an
1:36:36
issue regarding your bond condition, which may be a way to
1:36:40
resolve that pending other domestic assault case and filed
1:36:45
252597. I can't tell why it didn't go to
1:36:50
trial in March. I don't know.
1:36:56
But anyway, Miss Owens, you need some clean time and we're going
1:37:02
to figure out what's going on here.
1:37:03
So I'll get these. I've got 2 lawyers to schedule,
1:37:07
Mr. Nofsinger and probably Casey Strong, and we'll deal with both
1:37:14
of these matters next week. All right, Daniel, we'll see
1:37:19
where we're going with this. Thank you.
1:37:21
This can't feel. Thank you.
1:37:23
Thank you here on there. All right, all right.
1:37:27
You're good to go. Daniel, I'm not sure what's up,
1:37:33
but I'll hang up on you. All right Now, this next guy,
1:37:38
Mr. Mcnett, I'm going to forward to you the e-mail I got from
1:37:42
Tiffany. Tiffany.
1:37:51
Thank you. Got it.
1:37:55
Antenna wrong. Good morning, Sir.
1:38:00
Are you Kevin Lee? James Mcnett.
1:38:06
I'm Judge Middleton. Also present here is the chief
1:38:09
public defender, Mr. Keith Stickley.
1:38:12
You got arrested here this morning at the courthouse on a
1:38:16
bench warrant. The file number is 25494 FY.
1:38:22
In that matter, you were charged with possession of
1:38:25
methamphetamine. And let's take a look at it.
1:38:27
Let's see if they put this in my queue.
1:38:29
They didn't let me dial it up here.
1:38:34
It's all just sort of came in fly.
1:38:37
I was in the middle of landlord tenant cases and you come roll
1:38:40
it in 10 days late. I apologize you All right, let
1:38:46
me look at the actual complaint. As I said, I didn't get much of
1:38:51
a chance to prep this or just hand it to me while I was in
1:38:54
here on the bench. The charge alleged that on or
1:38:58
about January 27th of 2026 that you did possess methamphetamine
1:39:03
as a second or subsequent offense as a fourth eventual
1:39:07
offender, making that theoretically punishable by the
1:39:11
life imprisonment. It all has to do with the pipe,
1:39:16
which ain't the crime of the century, but the way it all
1:39:20
stacks up. So you plead not guilty.
1:39:26
You posted a bond of $7500 with the bonding company and you
1:39:31
posted that in a they set a pre exam conference for May 5th and
1:39:38
you failed to appear. I did an immediate bench
1:39:44
warrant. You have $1330 worth of unpaid
1:39:50
fine and cost. As far as I can tell, you never
1:39:53
made contact with pretrial services, at least as.
1:39:58
Of May 5th. And you didn't show up.
1:40:01
So you called two days later and they were supposed to be working
1:40:06
on a bench warrant. He said you could come in
1:40:08
tomorrow morning as warrant may be entered by noon and Judge
1:40:13
Middleton could choose to recall the warrant.
1:40:16
I was gone for two days and so apparently you said you would
1:40:21
come in tomorrow morning, which is today.
1:40:24
So somebody made arrangements for you to come present yourself
1:40:28
when I wanted an immediate bench warrant.
1:40:30
I also contacted Community corrections and indicate as of
1:40:36
yesterday, Friday, you contacted Community Corrections, there
1:40:42
should have been a bench warrant for your arrest.
1:40:44
But I got held up by staff and then you come rolling in.
1:40:50
So when we were here last Tuesday, I was here, Mr. Bush
1:40:55
was here, we had 31 cases. You at that point had not made
1:41:01
contact with Mr. Bush and had not made contact with Community
1:41:08
Corrections. Then you call after the day
1:41:12
you're supposed to be here and say, hey, I missed court.
1:41:15
So then you, I didn't realize staff actually told you to come
1:41:19
in here this morning till I just read the pleadings.
1:41:23
So have you contacted Mr. Bush? I called him yesterday.
1:41:29
I didn't realize I'd missed my court date until yesterday.
1:41:32
And I have been, I have been contacting the MDOC every day
1:41:38
that they've told me to. Well, you started that on
1:41:41
Friday. Let me look at that.
1:41:44
Maybe I got my days mixed up because that's seizure, she
1:41:47
said. Because.
1:41:48
Of the. All right, so you did.
1:41:52
So why didn't you show up for your court hearing?
1:41:56
I can put, I have a lot going on at home.
1:41:58
My mom's got stage 4 cancer. I've had my pivotal appointments
1:42:03
and work and I just, it slipped my mind.
1:42:07
I didn't, I didn't, it was, didn't realize it was so soon
1:42:12
'cause my mom started. All right.
1:42:15
So you hadn't called your lawyer as of last Tuesday, but you have
1:42:19
called him since? I called my lawyer.
1:42:21
Yesterday, it was the first time I called him.
1:42:24
I've never, I've never had to contact my attorney first.
1:42:26
They always meet me at my first court date.
1:42:29
That's not how it works. We give you instructions to call
1:42:33
your lawyer. It's a pain in the neck when you
1:42:36
show up when there's 31 cases pending and say, hey, I want to
1:42:40
talk to my lawyer. Plus you have $30.00 worth of
1:42:43
unpaid fines and cost. Where are you working?
1:42:47
Precision wire in Three Rivers. Yes, Sir.
1:42:54
Are you living in the trailer park?
1:42:57
Yes, Sir. And walk to work from there?
1:43:00
I do. How long have you been at
1:43:03
Precision? Winner.
1:43:06
This will be. My 4th week.
1:43:10
Did you actually speak to Mr. Bush?
1:43:12
No, no, I had to. I I'm trying to find the number
1:43:16
of the number. I was giving you the wrong.
1:43:20
I contacted, she gave me his number.
1:43:24
I called and got a machine. Well, he's here in court often.
1:43:30
He's only been at the same address for about 80 years, give
1:43:35
or take. His father started the practice
1:43:39
before him. It's been the same number,
1:43:41
651-5380 for probably 80 years. So it slipped your mind that you
1:43:51
were supposed to show up for course, although you apparently
1:43:56
you had contacted community corrections prior to the hearing
1:44:03
on May 5th. Let me look at a couple things.
1:44:07
I thought my court date was this week.
1:44:13
Basically, yeah. And it just makes my skin crawl
1:44:23
when people say I thought I'd wait and talk to my lawyer at my
1:44:25
first hearing. It just causes all kinds of
1:44:29
problems. As I said, there were 31 cases
1:44:32
that day. And I go, here I am ready to
1:44:35
talk about my case. That's not how it works.
1:44:39
Every single case for next Tuesday is turning trucking.
1:44:44
Laura, any luck with Precision Wire?
1:44:46
What's that? We're checking with Precision
1:44:50
wire, see whether they actually work there or not.
1:44:53
I. OK.
1:44:56
What do you what do you have to say to that?
1:44:58
I was going to say I have a check stub in my wallet, but I
1:45:01
left my wallet in the car. OK.
1:45:06
All right. Thanks.
1:45:13
Oh, he's hard to get a hold of because what?
1:45:20
All right, Mr. Stickley, have any input here?
1:45:24
Your Honor, it sounds like maybe we got off to a rough start.
1:45:28
I think he is trying to comply. It's the only input.
1:45:34
That I would, I would have. At this time, I'm sure the
1:45:37
gentleman would prefer not being in jail if he is with community
1:45:41
corrections, it looks like he started checking in.
1:45:46
Maybe we can. Maybe we could try a redo and
1:45:49
see how he does. That's what I would have.
1:45:54
All right, the easiest thing to do would be just let you sit in
1:45:57
jail. You are working at Precision
1:46:00
Wire. You're within walking distance
1:46:02
of your house. I I don't.
1:46:06
Did you have to take a blood, a urine test to get hired at
1:46:08
Precision Wire? No, by our drug test for the
1:46:15
parole. I'm on parole.
1:46:17
You're still on parole? Yes, Sir.
1:46:20
I didn't know that. Who's your PO?
1:46:23
Tracy Jabot. All right.
1:46:27
Mr. Bush is not scheduled to be here next Tuesday.
1:46:30
I'm going to reinstate your bond and your community corrections
1:46:35
conditions remain in effect. I thank you.
1:46:37
John. You were to contact your lawyer?
1:46:42
Yes Sir and if you don't, I'm going to cancel your bond at the
1:46:46
time of the pre exam. If you show up on May 19th and
1:46:52
haven't talked to your lawyer, I'm going to cancel your bond.
1:46:55
Yes Sir, I'll call him as soon as I get out here.
1:46:58
I'm going to set the pre exam conference for May 19th, 2O26 at
1:47:05
8:30. If we need a preliminary
1:47:07
examination, it will be May 26th at 1:00.
1:47:11
This is a very serious charge. It's a drug double with a
1:47:15
habitual which makes it a mandatory life case.
1:47:19
Plus you're on parole. I didn't realize there was a
1:47:21
parole ramification to this as well, but it all has to do with
1:47:27
a small pipe and some residue. I don't know if I tested you
1:47:32
today what the test would show. Probably test you when I see
1:47:36
you. I tested yesterday.
1:47:39
You tested yesterday. Yes Sir.
1:47:43
You've been around long enough that and don't just slip your
1:47:46
mind that you're supposed to show up for court.
1:47:49
This is a huge pain in the neck for us.
1:47:52
That was complete. All right, so you're to be here
1:47:58
after you talk to your lawyer on May 19th at 8:30.
1:48:03
Yes Sir. I'm going to recall the bench
1:48:05
warrant and we'll have a pre exam conference at that time.
1:48:11
If you don't. Show up, I'm going to set the
1:48:14
bond at $10 million and contact your PO and your bonding
1:48:19
company. You've also posted a substantial
1:48:21
amount of money which could have been forfeited.
1:48:25
I'll reinstate that bond and we'll give you a notice Tuesday,
1:48:29
May 19th at 8:30. No, Sir, No.
1:48:35
All right. I'll see you then.
1:48:38
All right. Thank you.
1:48:40
All right. Okie dokie friends, we're now in
1:48:42
hour 3 of TCF Live. I really don't know where the
1:48:47
time goes. This goes by so fast.
1:48:49
Let's go to Texas. Judge Stephen.
1:48:54
Are we or are we just getting it down the road?
1:48:56
I. Know he's playing.
1:48:58
That's a rap. This girlfriend I have a
1:49:01
girlfriend. Yeah, there's a lot of marked
1:49:10
outs. I sent somebody right behind.
1:49:14
Yeah, I mean, really. Close.
1:49:22
Thank you. OK on this.
1:49:26
OK, it's reading. Enhanced to a third degree.
1:49:29
That's third degree punishment. It's a state jail felony.
1:49:32
That's correct. Correct.
1:49:33
Enhanced to a third degree, it was punishment, right?
1:49:36
When he was put on probation for it, correct?
1:49:38
OK. That's why it's because it says
1:49:40
enhanced to 3rd degree only in this one.
1:49:44
There's another asterisk down at the bottom that details the
1:49:46
third degree felony punishment range.
1:49:48
I understand that, but there's nothing that shows this is a
1:49:51
state jail felony. Judge, the paperwork itself is
1:49:54
on stage L felony paperwork which is why the additions were
1:49:57
made for 3rd degree. OK, but what I'm going to add is
1:50:00
stage L felony and then pick up with enhanced to 3rd degree
1:50:03
punishment. OK, so can't touch the pad, but
1:50:07
that's it. That's funny.
1:50:09
So that's why I have this little and.
1:50:12
Then we did that good 6. 5. He's going to get revoked and
1:50:19
it's four years in each case to run together.
1:50:23
Yes. All right, we will take this to
1:50:27
nothing beginning with 24 CR 1654 and then we will go 24 CR
1:50:34
2193. These are both first amended
1:50:37
motions to revoke probation stating the state of Texas
1:50:40
versus Darren. Adam Banks, You or Mr. Banks?
1:50:43
Yes. And you here with your attorney
1:50:45
and the state's attorney. Does the defendant waive a
1:50:48
formal reading of these first amended motions to revoke
1:50:51
probation in each of these cases?
1:50:53
Can we proceed? In summary, each of these
1:50:56
similarly state, Sir, that on March 3rd, 2025 in Jeff in this
1:51:04
Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas you were
1:51:09
placed on, you were sentenced to 10 years in prison, probated for
1:51:15
10 years for the state jail. Felonies of theft of material
1:51:22
and it looks like it must be metal of some sort, copper in 24
1:51:29
CR 1654 and burglary of a building in 24 CR 21993.
1:51:40
And in each of those state jail felonies you were sentenced to
1:51:43
10 years in prison and that was suspended and you were placed on
1:51:46
probation for 10 years. Is all of that true and correct
1:51:50
for each of these two cases? Yes, let's see.
1:51:55
What's he pleading to? Is it evading arrest?
1:51:58
But. If you want them to do different
1:51:59
violations, we can do whichever numbers you.
1:52:02
Want. I'll put one in two, but.
1:52:05
What happened in the evading arrest or detention case?
1:52:09
Is that pending somewhere in another court?
1:52:12
It's pending and messed me a court.
1:52:14
Has that been disposed of? Failure and the failure to ID
1:52:19
same thing judge that's same offense statement both pending
1:52:22
and missing what you all want to do just I want to play on counts
1:52:27
5 and 6 it. Makes no different.
1:52:29
Stash is five good that's fine judge all right allegation and
1:52:35
your right hand did I already you did not do you almost swear
1:52:38
or affirm the testimony that you were going to give today during
1:52:41
this hearing shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
1:52:43
the truth so help you God Lord your hand and is this all true
1:52:48
and correct that in each of these two cases you were
1:52:51
sentenced to 10 years in prison, probated for 10 years and those
1:52:54
were state jail felonies enhanced though to punishment as
1:52:58
though they were a third degree felony because of the prior
1:53:01
convictions that you have. All of that's true and correct.
1:53:04
Sir, All right. Allegation 5 in each of these
1:53:07
motions to revoke probations, then these are first admitted
1:53:10
motions to revoke probation filed May 6th.
1:53:14
Well, that's quick. You just got Yes, Sir.
1:53:17
OK. Do you solemnly swear and affirm
1:53:21
that you were waving any additional time that you may
1:53:24
have to prepare for this hearing because this was filed?
1:53:30
These motions were filed recently and we are having a
1:53:34
hearing here today, which is very quickly after the motions
1:53:41
to revoke probation, which are fine, but you have about 30.
1:53:46
I think you have at least 30 days to under the law.
1:53:50
You have time 10/30/10 or more to prepare and talk to your
1:53:56
lawyer and think about this. You can also waive that period
1:54:00
of time and move forward today if you wish.
1:54:03
If you feel like you've had enough time to think with it,
1:54:05
you've discussed with your attorney and you are ready to
1:54:09
proceed today. Is that what?
1:54:11
You want to do OK? Are you making that decision
1:54:14
voluntarily and after discussions with your attorney?
1:54:17
Yes. Miss Menarda, allegation 5
1:54:21
states you committed the offense of evading arrest or detention
1:54:24
on or about March 19th, 2026, Jefferson County, Texas.
1:54:29
And this is an allegation in each of these two motions to
1:54:34
revoke probation and they are allegation is number 5 under the
1:54:38
first amended portion. And these also state that these
1:54:42
allegations of evading arrest or detention in each case, those
1:54:46
are violations of condition one of your probation order which
1:54:49
states may not commit another crime.
1:54:51
Is all of that true and correct? Are you pleading true to each of
1:54:56
these allegations voluntarily and because those allegations
1:55:00
are indeed true, yes. Do you understand that a
1:55:03
voluntarily and knowingly may be it true to one or more
1:55:07
violations of probation, That's enough to grant motion to revoke
1:55:11
probation. Your probation can be revoked
1:55:14
and you can be sentenced to the full range of punishment, which
1:55:16
is no less than two nor more than 10 years confined.
1:55:19
But in prison knowing all of that, do you insist on pleading
1:55:23
true today? In each of these two motions to
1:55:26
revoke probation to allegation, 5I find it was pleading through
1:55:30
to allegations of violations. In each of these motions to
1:55:33
revoke probation voluntarily, knowing intelligently and
1:55:36
because they are true, there's an agreement.
1:55:41
That. States that you were your
1:55:44
probation would be revoked, you would be sentenced to four years
1:55:47
in prison and you would be given credit for all time you have

1:57:51
Yes. All righty friends, TCF live on
1:57:53
a Super Friday. My name is Dan.
1:57:55
It is great to have you all with me.
1:57:56
We've got about 35 or so more minutes to go.
1:57:59
We're going to go to Judge O'Donnell in Lake County, Ohio,
1:58:04
and then after that we'll go to Dungeon.
1:58:11
First violation tested positive for marijuana May 19th of 2025.
1:58:16
You understand that charge? Yes, Ron.
1:58:18
Failed to report June 2nd of 25 and thereafter you understand
1:58:22
that charge. Yes, Rod.
1:58:25
March 24th, 26th test positive for marijuana.
1:58:28
You understand that charge? Yes, Rod.
1:58:31
Tom, is it? Thank your Honor, I spoke with
1:58:33
Mr. Howard. He indicated today he would like
1:58:35
to waive his final hearing, plead guilty to the charges and
1:58:37
were prepared to proceed with sentencing.
1:58:39
Thank you is. That what you want to do.
1:58:41
That's Rod. What's your plea to those
1:58:44
charges? Guilty.
1:58:46
Accept you're guilty plea and find you guilty in this time.
1:58:48
Is it? Yes, thank, Your Honor.
1:58:50
We would just like to ask the court today for any leniency in
1:58:52
sentencing. Your Honor, when this case did
1:58:54
occur, Mr. Howard was much younger with regard to not
1:58:58
showing up to probation and the marijuana violation.
1:59:00
I did speak with him about that. He indicated back in May of 2025
1:59:04
when he failed to work when he was positive for marijuana and
1:59:07
didn't report in June, he was scared to report.
1:59:10
He was scared because of the situation.
1:59:12
He don't want to be back in the courtroom.
1:59:13
Your Honor, in speaking with Mr. Howard, he has since been
1:59:17
working. He's had on and off jobs in
1:59:19
factories. He indicated it was a little
1:59:20
difficult to keep a job due to the due to the felony on his
1:59:24
record. Prior to getting picked up, he
1:59:25
was working at Amco as a coil factory.
1:59:28
So he was doing work there. He was working full time.
1:59:31
Your Honor, he does have to have aspirations.
1:59:33
He does want to become a Barber. That is his goal in life.
1:59:35
He does have a great support system.
1:59:37
He has family and friends here in support of him today.
1:59:39
Thank you. What?
1:59:40
Do you want to tell me before I sentence you?
1:59:44
I don't really want too much to run around, just I've been to
1:59:47
know with this case since 18. I just really want to get it
1:59:49
over with, you know what I'm saying?
1:59:51
Want to get it over with? Yeah, as far as the back and
1:59:54
forth time, I don't catch any cases, this get more time on the
1:59:58
same case. I work a regular job, I don't
2:00:01
get into bad activities, I don't sell drugs, I don't tow guns.
2:00:04
So I know if I do my time and get it over with, I will never
2:00:08
step foot in no type of facility like this again.
2:00:11
I just want to get over with Lana.
2:00:13
Then what? Started my career as a Barber.
2:00:16
Well, this was a felonious assault that was reduced to an
2:00:22
attempted felonious assault. He was sentenced October 18 of
2:00:27
23. Or do the jail treatment program
2:00:30
and continue with Ohio Guidestone.
2:00:33
No drugs or alcohol. So then you likely got out in
2:00:36
January of 20-4 test positive for marijuana.
2:00:40
February 5th, 22nd, March 4th, March 18th, and April 1.
2:00:46
So we kicked it out a couple months to see if you'd stop
2:00:48
using marijuana and you didn't. So you were violated as well as
2:00:51
picking up a theft charge out of Mentor.
2:00:54
So you came in for your hearing. June 12th of 24.
2:00:58
I kept you on community control, ordered you to go to Neocamp,
2:01:04
Went to Neocamp, got out March 18th of 25.
2:01:10
May 19th of 25 test positive for marijuana and you just stop
2:01:15
showing up. Apparently you kept smoking
2:01:17
marijuana because you tested positive once you were arrested.
2:01:21
So you don't you haven't paid one bit of attention to anything
2:01:26
in this case when you've been on probation.
2:01:28
So you are no longer amenable to community control and make that
2:01:32
decision. Having gone back and reviewed
2:01:34
again the presence report in the drug and alcohol evaluation in
2:01:39
the picked an impact statement, which you, I'm certain you
2:01:42
remember that it was a pretty severe injury that this guy
2:01:45
received at your hands, but I put you on probation anyway.
2:01:49
You determined that you didn't want to do anything, you just
2:01:53
want to continue to do whatever you wanted.
2:01:55
So you're going to continue to do whatever you wanted.
2:01:57
So having reviewed everything and listen to what you have had
2:02:01
to say, listen to what councils had to say, since you are no
2:02:05
longer amenable to community control, I'm going to terminate
2:02:12
your community control. I'm going to sentence you to 35
2:02:14
months in prison with credit for 424 days.
2:02:19
When you get out, you might be on post release control for up
2:02:22
to two years under the parole authority with conditions.
2:02:25
If you violate the conditions of parole authority could send you
2:02:27
back to prison for up to nine months for each violation, up to
2:02:31
1/2 of my sentence. If that violation is a new
2:02:33
felony, you could get an additional consecutive prison
2:02:37
sentence for the violation, the maximum of which is the greater
2:02:41
of 12 months or the time left under post release control.
2:02:45
The costs are assessed. Anything else?
2:02:47
This Tom is it. Nothing for your.
2:02:52
Honor, thank you. All right, all righty.
2:02:55
Friends, it's that time on a Friday where we engage in our
2:02:59
TCF guilty pleasure carpets. The color of blood, the screams
2:03:03
in the background, the lighting from the Cold War era, the
2:03:07
spookiness, the scariness, the damp, mildewy surfaces.
2:03:13
They believe in Appalachia, the justice is best served in a
2:03:16
cold, dank basement. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
2:03:18
Dungeon Court, all right? This is state of Ohio.
2:03:21
This is Sean Woods, 0262783 02574 A and.
2:03:28
B. 2650 and Lister, Horford's Case 7. 35 That's one.
2:03:41
Can you keep this? Yeah.
2:03:48
You do it now. She made it a lot better.
2:03:51
We get a long walk. Deborah.
2:04:15
Williams. Here she dropped there with the
2:04:17
grandbaby right now in the park if you need her.
2:04:20
We can go get her. I think it was a good report, if
2:04:25
I'm not mistaken, so we're happy about that.
2:04:30
I just wanted to continue. Let's do June 26th for free
2:04:42
trial at 10 AM. Could you move that up maybe a
2:04:48
week or so? That may be 22nd.
2:04:54
That may be my last day. OK, if we could do it when
2:04:59
let's. Do June 22nd, is that OK?
2:05:02
That's maybe my last day. Oh, OK, June 15th.
2:05:11
At 15. Yes, Sir.
2:05:14
Thank you, Judge. At 10. 10.
2:05:23
AM all right. There are possible arraignments
2:05:32
edible high versus. Timothy.
2:05:33
Cavalier number CRV 26264. They're the ones that, well,
2:06:03
they can go to the end of the docket and I'm.
2:06:04
Going on the same with the end of the docket.
2:06:14
State of Ohio versus Tracy de Mint, case number TRC 26720. 5A
2:06:19
and B. All right, this is State of Ohio
2:06:46
versus Tracy Dement, PRC 26725 eight 93 Mr. Dement alleged
2:06:53
Honor about May the 7th 10:26 but you weren't up here.
2:06:59
So I want to go through your rights before the court at this
2:07:02
point. I'm going to go through your
2:07:03
charge with you at the end of this.
2:07:07
It looks like you've had five priors.
2:07:10
So I believe this would make this a felony and it would be a
2:07:14
felony of the 4th degree or felony of the third degree,
2:07:17
Felony of the 4th degree. I don't know that it's.
2:07:21
Necessarily charged with that, Mister Heald.
2:07:23
It's just charged as a regular ticket.
2:07:25
So, well, we intend to file a long form alleging felony, but
2:07:32
and and we're a little shorthanded today.
2:07:34
So we have some problems trying to keep up, but we'd like the
2:07:37
court to recognize that. That is the.
2:07:39
Fact. OK.
2:07:41
All right. So Mr. Denaire, we'll go through
2:07:43
with this. And where the employer is a
2:07:45
felony, I cannot take a plea on this from you today, but we'll
2:07:49
go through it. And at the end of it, I'll read
2:07:52
the right report to the court here.
2:07:54
And we're like the main side of the reporting here today.
2:07:57
And then you would say that is against your interest, could be
2:08:00
used against you. You have the right to have an
2:08:02
attorney. If you can't afford an attorney,
2:08:04
I can afford one to represent you at no cost.
2:08:06
You have the right to have reason to bail set on the
2:08:09
matter. And you have the right to state
2:08:11
for each of them every element of the defense charge beyond a
2:08:14
reasonable doubt. You understand your rights
2:08:16
before the court, of course. All right.
2:08:19
Mr. Deventz alleged on about May 7th, 26th in Union Township
2:08:25
you're operating. Motor vehicle on the.
2:08:26
Vehicles of alcohol, they don't have to use an accommodation
2:08:29
thereof and then not one. And that you refused a test.
2:08:35
So there's a violation of a High Revised Code section 45111981-A.
2:08:41
Which is. Is a felony for OVI.
2:08:47
Maximum penalty on that is I believe up to 18 months in
2:08:52
prison and up to a $5000 fine. There is ABK or as part of the A
2:09:01
case. It's also alleged 45111982 which
2:09:06
is criminal refusal which is a refusal of the prior and that
2:09:10
would also be same level offense with a felony of 4th degree out
2:09:15
to 18 months in prison and up to 5000 all 5.
2:09:19
It's also alleged in the B case that you drove the left of
2:09:22
center, and that's an alleged violation of a Higher Revised
2:09:27
Code section 3511.29. That was a minor misclim year.
2:09:31
Maximum penalty on that is up to $150.00 fine in court costs.
2:09:34
Do you have money to hire an attorney?
2:09:39
OK, you're intending to hire your attorney.
2:09:45
Are you working currently? All right, pay hourly.
2:09:49
All right, what's your annual income?
2:09:55
OK, what's, what's your annual income?
2:09:57
It wasn't this past year. OK.
2:10:05
Then you definitely aren't going to qualify.
2:10:09
All right, So, Mr. Hild, you want to be heard.
2:10:12
On the matter of on. State would ask for $25,000 cash
2:10:16
issue. OK, Mr. Demand, I know you know
2:10:21
I'm an attorney, but I'll give you an opportunity to argue bond
2:10:24
for yourself today. You can hire an attorney that
2:10:28
you want to come back and revisit back later here.
2:10:34
So what they're at, the state is asking for a $25,000 tax assured
2:10:37
bond, which can you either post $25,000 for the court or you can
2:10:41
call a bondsman and pay the bonds on a fee to post the bond
2:10:46
for you. Is that a bond that you think
2:10:49
you can make? OK, is it?
2:10:53
And I would let you argue for something lesser if you wish.
2:11:00
OK? Well, I I.
2:11:06
One thing that I I have seen over over a long period of time
2:11:09
is that you typically do show up to court, but I do want to push
2:11:13
the cash a share bond on you. So I'll set bond to 5000 cash a
2:11:17
share like an order that the bond be dependent on him not
2:11:21
driving. I was going to make that as a
2:11:23
condition of the bond and a condition of your bond is that
2:11:28
you can have no, you cannot operate a motor vehicle of any
2:11:32
sort. They're independent of that you
2:11:35
understand was. It really.
2:11:51
I'm. Going.
2:11:51
To. Go ahead and set a preliminary
2:11:56
hearing for May 15th. All
2:12:20
right, Mr. Bent, if you may call, you don't need to come be
2:12:24
back here at May 15th at 10:00 AM.
2:12:27
If you don't make long, then you'll be impressive Sheriff,
2:12:32
and they'll take care of that at that time and then we'll.
2:12:37
See if you. Hire an attorney by that point.
2:12:39
If you have hired a Colonel, stay in contact with them.
2:12:43
They can always request that this.
2:12:45
Be moved. Potentially if it doesn't meet
2:12:47
their schedule, but otherwise unless you hear otherwise and at
2:12:51
that point and be back here on May 15th at 10 AM.
2:12:54
All right, Thank you, Mr. What's the date?
2:12:59
May 15th, thank you State of Ohio versus Dustin Mace as
2:13:08
number CRE 26265. Dustin Mace.
2:13:24
I've been in contact with his family and they wanted me to
2:13:29
discuss going to treatment and I have talked with him and if it
2:13:33
pleases the court, if it's allowed, then he would be coming
2:13:37
into services with us upon whatever you say about.
2:13:42
That this is case number CRA 26265 state Ohio this.
2:13:45
Is Dustin Mays. Mace it's alleged that on or
2:13:50
about May 7th 126 you've done in the College of attempt because
2:13:54
of fiscal home and Megan makes a family or household member and
2:13:58
just said Dustin Mays having been convicted of the prior
2:14:01
domestic violence offense in violation of Section 291925-A of
2:14:05
the higher revised total domestic violence that's a
2:14:08
felony for security. Felons on the 4th degree carry a
2:14:11
maximum penalty of up to 18 months in prison and up to a
2:14:15
$5000 fine. You're going to hire an
2:14:18
attorney? Are you working currently?
2:14:23
All right, so I will appoint attorney Luke Styer if he's
2:14:26
still here. OK, now I'll appoint Attorney
2:14:42
Stratton if he's still here. Something maybe getting some
2:14:50
more, some work, some workout. All right.
2:14:57
They wish to be heard on the matter of bombs and scrap.
2:14:59
This is an F for domestic violence.
2:15:03
When I asked for a protection order and we would not be.
2:15:06
Opposed. I'm sorry, what?
2:15:09
What degree is it? L and 4th degree.
2:15:12
OK, sorry we're a little overwhelming this.
2:15:19
To get out on the. Phone to get to an.
2:15:23
Inpatient. OK.
2:15:28
Yeah. All right.
2:15:28
So there is an indication here that Mister Mace could benefit
2:15:33
from treatment. And so as long as he would agree
2:15:37
to be assessed and to enter into a residential treatment program,
2:15:42
we would not oppose an alarm on. And then the issue of how we're
2:15:45
going to deal with the fact that it's a felony, we'll have to
2:15:48
address it the later. Date.
2:15:51
Otherwise we'd want to have a cash assured.
2:15:55
You're all right, that's been assessed yet?
2:16:10
No he is approved but I need to do a pre screen.
2:16:12
I will go back. There.
2:16:14
But from what I know I'm I'm not positive it's 100%.
2:16:20
What I'll do? Then is I will give Mr. Mace a
2:16:25
$5000 OR bond with the condition that he'd be released.
2:16:31
Another issue Your Honor become aware of is that he's on
2:16:35
methadone. So I don't know how that.
2:16:39
He wouldn't, he wouldn't be able to come into services with us on
2:16:43
methadone. But if he's willing to, OK,
2:16:47
we'll, we'll switch him to something, yes.
2:16:52
There's a condition of that he'll be really only focused for
2:16:58
residential treatment and that is ending the assessment for
2:17:04
assuming that the assessment goes the way that we believe it
2:17:07
will go. That's what will happen in the
2:17:10
event that something comes up. Let us know today and we will
2:17:15
recall the case. But otherwise from the of
2:17:17
course, ruling at this point. And Mr. Mace, the temporary
2:17:22
protection order is going to issue to the benefit of Megan
2:17:27
mate. That means you can have no
2:17:30
compact of any sort, whether it be directly.
2:17:34
Indirectly. Over.
2:17:35
The Internet. Having.
2:17:37
Someone call under your path anything with this many
2:17:41
something for such time of further report if if she may
2:17:46
come in later and say she doesn't want that, but presently
2:17:50
that's going to report the order.
2:17:51
She can have no contact up until the court will decide otherwise.
2:17:57
We understand that. All right, I'm going to set you
2:18:01
back. Mr. Stratton, let's come back.
2:18:15
You wait time on the phone again.
2:18:25
All right, I'm going to set you back June 15th.
2:18:30
That'll give you some. Time in here and treating your
2:18:32
treatment for fighter to make sure that things are going well
2:18:34
and we can get up and get a report and that'll be a
2:18:37
preliminary year. All right.
2:18:50
Stable High Present Edward Ferris.
2:18:53
Number CRV 24537 Edward Ferris. All right, this is state of
2:19:11
Ohio. This is echoed fair series
2:19:13
24537. Mr. Fairs is fair after doing
2:19:21
arrested. All right, well.
2:20:19
Anything other than the. Report that you'd like to speak
2:20:22
about. Sir, I think that this is a bad
2:20:26
judgment call. We have no tolerance policy.
2:20:31
However, do I think that he should sit in jail or that he
2:20:35
should continue treatment? I absolutely think he should
2:20:37
continue his treatment and I did find another treatment provider.
2:20:41
If the court allows that, we'll take him into services.
2:20:46
OK, so. I couldn't hear willing to take
2:20:49
him into services. Yes, we're willing to accept
2:20:51
him. All right, Mr. Ferris, anything
2:20:54
that you would like to say for yourself here today?
2:20:57
And I've read the report, not going to discuss that openly on
2:21:04
the record, but is there anything you want to say for
2:21:06
yourself? OK.
2:21:13
I mean, is this something you want to be serious about?
2:21:15
Because what's in the reports pretty serious.
2:21:21
All right, well, I will. I'm going to set you up on
2:21:30
today. You're here on the bond
2:21:32
revocation, but I'm going to. All right.
2:21:45
I'm going to. Set you a bond at 5000 OR to be
2:21:49
released only to hometown. And I'm going to caution you,
2:21:53
Mr. Ferris, that if you do not take this seriously, then the
2:22:01
time that you have over your head and, and any intake fines
2:22:04
and, and community service that may be out there is just going
2:22:08
to be imposed because I'm not going to put up with any more
2:22:12
nonsense. I have doubts that you're taking
2:22:15
this serious and this is kind of against my better.
2:22:17
Judgment the hope you voted, and that's going.
2:22:22
To be you should probably spend the next week sitting in there
2:22:26
thinking. About your actions.
2:22:28
And I'm going to cut you over the break today, give you an
2:22:30
opportunity to do that. But if you either.
2:22:33
Done or. You don't do what you're
2:22:35
supposed to do, OK? And, and I don't see anything in
2:22:41
the in the record that will give me any indication that what
2:22:45
you're what you're looking at doing.
2:22:47
But I just want to be very, very clear that if you mess up,
2:22:51
you're just going to spend your time.
2:22:53
You understand that. All right, So now you set it on
2:22:56
the record. We know you, you understand.
2:23:01
And so there's not going to be no chance.
2:23:04
OK All right. So the the bond will be 5000 OR
2:23:07
at least only to come down recovery for for president
2:23:12
treatment. Thank you.
2:23:18
Thank you. Already set for June the 1st for
2:23:24
pre trial. Let's keep that.
2:23:26
Date June 1st. All right, good luck.

State of Ohio versus Jared Meredith, Fixed number CRB 2462
2:23:50
CRB 221036 AM three CRB 2263 CRB 22920 CRB 19756 Set for what
2:24:01
you're getting there. It's a state of.
2:24:05
Ohio versus There's mayor here, B-24. 60. 2, 736.23. 3. .2520
2:24:17
zero 19756 Here's the point .20602238.
2:25:01
And Mr. Meredith, I believe you have an issue presently in
2:25:06
common Police court for that. Who's your attorney on that?
2:25:16
And. Mr. Scott got scheduled one of
2:25:20
those ones. That.
2:25:21
Talk to and this Mr. Scott is the president and attorney.
2:25:26
And so we're just here on a review and I presume that you're
2:25:35
being held on the common police case right now.
2:25:39
Is that what what you're being held on?
2:25:41
OK, so. I'm.
2:25:46
I'm just going to set you another review hearing because
2:25:51
you're maybe academic at this point anyway, depending on what
2:25:54
happens with your home police case.
2:25:56
So I'm going to set you a review hearing for June 27th.
2:26:17
See you back then. State of Ohio versus Logan
2:26:29
Wright, excuse me, can't call that case yet.
2:26:42
Waiting for Mr. Smith to get here.
2:26:43
So Mr. Smith has a message me and ended up in and informed us
2:26:52
that he's hung up. He may or may not be able to get
2:26:54
here, but I told him that he's going to try to get here as soon
2:26:56
as he can. And if he can't, I believe he's
2:26:59
spoken to someone to stand up for him on his cases.
2:27:03
But I think he's going to try to get here as quick as he.
2:27:06
Can he's got a number. Of.
2:27:07

Mr. Holt's case. This is State of Ohio versus
2:27:31
Brian Elliott S25525 here 25527 and this is Mr. Holt's case set
2:27:41
as A and I got a note to finalize this.

Yes, you are. We have the certificate here,
2:27:52
yes. He hasn't completed the ground.
2:27:54
Would you like to see it? You.
2:27:56
You can't. Budget well.
2:28:10
Congratulations, Mr. Aliot. Thank you.
2:28:22
Very commendable for honour and even back a month, two months
2:28:29
ago, it was discussed when he was here in court that the.
2:28:36
He was close to me. Completely at that time, so
2:28:39
we're satisfied that he's done everything he needed to do in
2:28:42
order for us to live up to our end of the bargain, which was to
2:28:45
dismiss the charges. Well, sounds like the.
2:28:52
State is moving to dismiss all charges against Mr. Elliott, and
2:28:55
I'll happily grant that, considering you've completed
2:28:58
your treatment and all you've done.
2:29:00
So congratulations. Thank you, you.
2:29:02
You're finished. Up here, I appreciate you'll
2:29:04
give me a chance to do everything right, you know, and
2:29:11
you saved my life that I appreciate it.
2:29:14
Glad to hear things are going. Well, and you know, hopefully
2:29:16
going forward, you can continue to keep Friday and then
2:29:23
continue. To.
2:29:24
Do all the same business and doing already.
2:29:29
Yeah, I'm going to presume myself in treatments, maybe help
2:29:33
somebody along the way. That'd be great.
2:29:37
Thank. You all righty friends that will
2:29:43
do it for today and for the week.
