This is the date and time set for pretrial on both of these
0:22

0:25
like to proceed? Well, I need to.
0:28
Adjourn the main room. About two weeks ago received the
0:34
transcript from the August 5th hearing.
0:38
I need we sent it over to Mr. Veal.
0:40
I need to go over there to talk and discuss what our what our
0:42
next steps would be. So that is the basis for my
0:46
request. All.
0:48
Right, Miss Arnold had any objection?
0:50
No, that's fine. All right.
0:52
My next available is April 15 at 8:30 in the morning.
0:56
Obviously, if there's next step would be a motion, we can get
0:59
him in sooner than that. Or if for some reason Mr. Vila
1:03
decides to avail himself of any plea, I'll get him in sooner
1:06
than that as well. So we'll see you back on April
1:08
15 at 8:30. Thank you.
1:10
Mr. Vila, can you do this step in order to adjourn, Mr. Malaro?
1:14
Yes, Your Honor. Thank you.
1:15
All right, Miss Arnold, can you sign your name?
1:17
With permission, of course. All right, excellent.
1:21

So, Roger Hanson, here you are. OK, hold on a second, Mr. Fry,
1:31

2:42
State appearing on behalf of the people on Brian Frye appearing
2:46
on behalf of the defendant says date time set for arraignment on
2:54
all of these files. I think there's one more that's
2:58
not set for arraignment. SO26-22564656667 and 6-8 are set
3:08
for arraignment. But I thought there was one that
3:12
was set for pre trial today maybe?
3:15
Yeah, that's correct. The five O 5 and the five O.
3:17
Six are for Petro. Yep.
3:21
OK, so Mr. Pride, how would you like to proceed on all of these
3:26
files? Your Honor, if possible, could I
3:29
have a 2 minute break out room? I think we might have a
3:31
resolution but my client tried to call yesterday so I just want
3:34
to confirm with him on what that was about.
3:37
OK, so I'm going to open up some breakout rooms and I am going to
3:50
put you and Mr. 4. I just open the breakout room.
4:02
Go ahead and click on join. All right, now we'll take care
4:10
of Page 1. So I have somebody in jail.
4:17
Zoom one dark brown hair. There's a little one right
4:19
behind you. What's your name?
4:22
Kyle. Lockwood.
4:24
Lockwood. All right, You're an
4:25
extradition, so hang tight. And then in Room 3, you're Mr.
4:29
Herman. OK.
4:33
All right. Just bear with me for a minute.
4:39
Katie Dermont. Mr. Mont, I have your client.
4:48
All right, this is in the matter of the people of the State of
4:51
Michigan versus Christopher Cundiff, phone number 26-22526.
4:59
FHI have Isaac Sneed appearing on behalf of the people and I
5:04
have Katarina DuMont appearing on behalf of Mr. Cundiff.
5:08
This is the time set for a pretrial conference.
5:12
I do have a note from pretrial services.
5:15
Mr. Koh states that Mr. Conda presently has AGPS tether and he
5:23
has not to leave the state of Michigan, and to date we have
5:26
not been alerted to any violations.
5:28
So that's good to know. So, Miss DuMont, how do you wish
5:33
to proceed today? This is our first pre trial date
5:37
and I did just recently get a cops from you and with Mr.
5:42
Sneed. So I would just request one
5:45
pretrial, one more pretrial to be set.
5:48
He also has a family court matter that's going on in Judge
5:52
Salah's. He indicated to me that that
5:55
next date is that first week of April.
5:58
So we would ask if we could do April 8th for another pretrial
6:02
and then I could get. My next available pretrial is
6:06
April 15 at 8:30 in the morning. Are you available?
6:11
Yes. All right, Mr. Snade, any
6:15
objection? No, thank you all.
6:17
Right. I will set this for April 15 at
6:20
8:30 in the morning. And Mr. Mont, if you can do a
6:23
step in order to adjourn. Mr. Snead, can he sign?
6:26

6:32

Morning once again everybody. Happy Wednesday TCF Live.
6:48
Good to have you here. Looks like we got a couple new
6:50
people in the chat this morning. Welcome and hang out with us for
6:54
a while. This is a great community.
6:56
You'll like it here. Let's stay in Michigan.
6:59
We'll go say good morning to Judge Dad.
7:01
Go. Ahead period.
7:05
You need to work. You're not working.
7:09
I mean, you tell me you got full time employment, but you work in
7:11
a Barber shop where you make $100 a week.
7:14
That can't be full time unless you cut one hair and then sit
7:17
there for 8 hours and then come back the next day and just cut
7:21
one hair and sit there for 8 hours.
7:25
That's not working. And this was, I didn't like the
7:29
way this whole thing went down on this.
7:31
I read this before you guys were acting in concert with one
7:37
another. This was there's no way I'm not
7:43
placing you on probation. You cannot leave the state 12
7:49
months probation. You cannot leave the state
7:51
without the consent of the court or violate any law or ordinance
7:53
and change your address, place for employment or home telephone
7:57
number. You must notify probation.
7:59
You have to report as directed. You're not to enter these
8:07
panels. You're not to enter 21,000 W Rd.
8:17
in Woodhaven or any other Lowe's store.
8:37
You're not to have any contact with employees of the Woodhaven
8:41
Lowe's. No contact with employees of the
8:45
Woodhaven Lowe's store to attend the Economic Crime program.
8:55
You to serve two days on the Corp Work program.
9:01
You're to pay in which was which results in a $35 a day cost.
9:06
You're to pay restitution in the amount of $1146 that will be
9:10
paid through the court. Your pay fines 100 costs 5075.
9:15
Victims rights fee $50. Justice assessment fines and
9:19
costs are 275. Screen fee is 60 for 335.
9:22
Probation fees are 240 for 575. You have attorney fees of 40 for
9:28
6:15 court work program fees and 70 for 685 and then you have
9:35
1146 in restitution total. Should be
10:03
I, Heather, would you do the math?
10:05
I think it's 1931 that includes the rest.
10:10
I got 1831. Yeah, you might be right.
10:15
I think you're right. It's 1831.
10:19
If you violate, your probation could be revoked.
10:21
You could be incarcerated for 90 days.
10:23
You have 21 days to appeal, 14 days to apply for a court
10:26
appointed lawyer for purposes of appeal.
10:36
It's your life really. You know, give us one of these
10:42
things. You've got three kids.
10:45
You're not a bridge card benefits, you're not working
10:47
enough. At some point, if you've been a
10:52
Barber for 10 years, I think it's sad.
10:54
Yeah. 10 years and you're in a hundred a week, Maybe that's
10:57
time to find something else to do.
11:00
That's just my opinion. Can you pay all of this today?
11:07
No, you're wrong. We would.
11:07
Ask the court if he could set. Up a payment.
11:09
Plan with probation department? No, I'll set it up for May be
11:12
eligible for early discharge if he's compliant.
11:15
So he can get off in six months if everything's taken care of,
11:18
if he doesn't have any previous violations.
11:20
You're going to tell me how much you can afford to pay Mr.
11:22
Robertson? I hope he came here with some
11:27
money and I thought we talked about that.
11:29
You owe this store a lot of money.
11:36
I know we all get to decide our own fate.
11:41
You ever, you ever think about doing something else?
11:44
Like I don't care if it's a Burger King.
11:46
I mean, you're going to make 16 bucks an hour.
11:49
You works 40 hours there. You work 40 at McDonald's.
11:52
You're making a good look. You put yourself in a bad
11:56
position here. But I'm not making Lowe's way
11:58
too long for this money. So you got to figure out
12:00
something. If you think you're going to
12:02
tell me 20 a week or something, that's not going to work.
12:05
No, Your Honor, I, I believe. That if you divide the amount
12:08
into six months. Then.
12:10
He will have that paid off in 6. Months for whatever 9 I.
12:13
Don't think he will. I can, but he.
12:15
Wants to get off. He's he's he's making all right.
12:22
So you think he could pay $150.00 bi weekly?
12:25
Yes. How much do you have today?
12:34
I'm telling you what, 100 by the end of the week, pay $150.00
12:38
biweekly. I'm starting you March the 13th.
12:41
If you need more time, you're going to come and talk to me.
12:43
Mr. Robertson, am I making any sense to you?
12:48
Sorry, I hope so. I mean, you're, you're going to
12:56
be 36 years old or 35 years old, right?
13:07
I ask you a question. I'm not trying to be a wise guy.
13:11
If you're full time as a Barber, how many hours are you there?
13:18
5 to 9, Five to nine a day? Yes, Sir.
13:23
So you're working any tweak? Anywhere between 25 and 45 hours
13:27
a week. Some weeks are busy, some of us
13:29
are busy. But if you're making $100 a
13:32
week, that means you're only making $4.00 an hour if you work
13:37
in 25. What to tell you soon again, Mr.
13:47
Robertson, I have a feeling you're up to this is this was a
13:50
sophisticated operation. I, you know, I try never to get
13:55
involved in what they do. It's their business.
14:01
This should never have been charged as a 90 day industry.
14:07
Your Honor, if I may, regarding his income, he is trying to find
14:09
other shifts at other shops in this community.
14:12
Yeah. I mean, he should have been
14:12
doing that years ago. I'm not trying to be a, you
14:16
know, it's his life. He's also, you know, told me
14:20
that he's going to be getting engaged in skilled trades.
14:23
So to enter, he has his, he has his high school diploma from Oak
14:27
Park and he's going to be enrolling in Wayne County
14:30
community. College.
14:31
To get a ball rolling. As far as that's.
14:34
Good. That's good.
14:35
Perfect. But you got the time's rolling
14:38
on you. You know what I mean?
14:41
Good luck. You'll need the probation.
14:43
Thank Adriana. Giselle Gigagas 26 W 4 O 321.
14:56
They still haven't got you this video.

15:09
discovery, we did receive paper discovery.
15:11
We did receive digital. However, there's one digital
15:15
video that we cannot download and open.
15:18
I did speak with the prosecutor about it today.
15:20
He's going to check with his officer in charge and it may be
15:24
that I have to go to the station and watch it, which is fine.
15:27
And the it's the testing video at the station that I need to
15:30
see. OK.
15:31
Do I is my next date with them on the 18th?
15:33
Heather. Yes, it is, Judge.
15:35
We could do 8:45. At 8:45 would.
15:44
That be by zoom. Or inverse if.
15:46
You 2 are on the same location. I don't mind zoom.
15:51
Be by zoom if that. Works for you.
15:53

Your charged with fear of refrain from consuming alcohol
16:32
or drugs, submitting chemical testing through DNA with
16:36
positive results on January 19 of 26.
16:39
You have the right to a lawyer if you want one.
16:41
I will give you 1. Would you like a lawyer?
16:44
No calling death. So that is the charge if you
16:48
plead guilty or if you're found guilty, this would be a second
16:50
technical violation. You could receive 10 days jail.
16:53
Do you understand that? I understand.
16:55
And did you sign an advice of rights form today or not?
16:58
No, you're presumed innocent. All those people on those, John,
17:03
are going to need the are going to need you.
17:08
Come in on the evidence, Eric. Thank you.
17:11
Thank you. Advice of rights.
17:14
So you're you're, if you plead guilty, you're giving up your
17:17
right to a contested hearing. You're giving up your right to
17:20
remain silent. You're giving up your right to
17:22
question their witnesses. You're giving up the right to
17:25
bring in your own witnesses and use the subpoena powers the
17:28
court to bring in those witnesses.
17:29
If you plead guilty, you'll be giving up all those rights and
17:32
we're not going to have a hearing.
17:34
Do you understand that? OK, so now I'm going to ask you,
17:39
you still wish to waive your right to a lawyer to the charge
17:42
that she failed to refrain from consuming alcohol or drugs.
17:45
Testing positive for alcohol in January 19 of 26.
17:49
How do you plead? All right.
17:54
Did you consume alcohol within the three days preceding that?
17:58
Any. And what did you drink?
18:02
How much anybody forced you to plead guilty?
18:06
No, please accept it, Miss. Why don't your name?
18:10
All right, so let's talk. She went inpatient for 21 days
18:13
in California. How many times have you tested
18:16
since then? Has she been here?
18:19
She's tested 3. Times no, we've been negative
18:21
all. Right.
18:22
Good enough. I don't see any reason to do
18:29
anything unless you do. Yeah.
18:31
The only issue that we have is that she was due to face up with
18:36
the 90 days. We're going to have to phase her
18:38
up on April 29th if there's anything to address on the.
18:41
Yeah, I I tell you what this is 2 total perform 4 hours of
18:48
anything else you want to tell me?
18:50
No, I just what I discussed earlier.
18:53
I took Blvd. and horns, I slipped, I fell and I knew I
18:58
couldn't get it by. Myself, you have to be extended
19:01
to the next phase until April 29th.
19:04
You're to perform 4 hours of community service.
19:08
That's to be completed by April the 10th.
19:16
OK, we'll call it a day. I'm not going to set some costs.
19:20
I at least give you credit. You had a relapse.
19:22
You went in. We're in there 21.
19:25
I see no reason to pie. Let's just stay with it.
19:28
OK. All right.
19:30
Thanks. People against good low cope,
19:35
Cassidy wrote Good Local 26 W 413308 Your name?
19:49
Cassidy good local. All right, Good morning.
19:54
You're charged with driving on a suspended.
19:56
You have the right to a lawyer. Do you want one?
19:58
No. You're.
20:00
All right. So I'll go ahead and arraign you
20:01
and then I'll send you to the prosecutor, OK.
20:03
On January 20 of 26, it is alleged that you did operate a
20:07
motor vehicle with suspended license on Allen or King and
20:10
Woodhaven at 2:41 PM. That is a misdemeanor.
20:13
It is punishable by up to 500 fines, 93 days jail costs are
20:18
all those and two points. Do you understand that?
20:21
And did you sign, read and understand the advice of rights?
20:25
If you plead guilty, you'll be giving up all those rights and
20:28
we're not going to have a trial. Do you understand that You have
20:31
the right to to a lawyer? You still wish to waive your
20:35
right to a lawyer. I'm not trying to talk you into
20:40
it, $500 personal bond. I'm entering a not guilty plea.
20:45
OK, I'm going to send you to the prosecutor.
20:48
You cannot leave the state without the consent of the court
20:50
to violate the law. You must appear in court as
20:53
directed. So we're going to send you the
20:55
Woodhaven prosecutor. You go talk to him.
20:58
If he doesn't give you what you want, that's fine.
21:00
You didn't everything in here and tell me.
21:02
I'll give you a lawyer. OK?
21:04
OK. The day that I.
21:06
Was driving. I had told the officer that my
21:08
license was suspended, but I have a temporary permit.
21:11
I don't. Even have a.
21:11
License at all, so go. Explain your case to the
21:15
prosecutor. OK, All right.
21:20
And then again, like I said, if they don't give you what you
21:23
want, you come back in here and tell me.
21:24
All right? Good luck.

23:14
I'm like, I'm not playing games. You want to play games, I'll go
23:26
buy you a Monopoly game at the dollar value store.
23:29
You can take it home and play games.
23:33
Well, then don't tell me you're not James Lee Page.
23:35
If you're James Lee Page, I don't want to hear your
23:39
nonsense. I'm not putting up with it
23:41
today. I've had enough of you people
23:43
coming in here. I'm talking about these
23:45
sovereign citizen characters that want to think they run the
23:47
courthouse. You're not running this
23:49
courtroom. Well, OK.
23:54
Listen. There's nothing for you to say.
23:57
You're charged with operating with the presence of drugs.
24:00
You have the right to a lawyer. If you want a lawyer, I will
24:04
give you a lawyer right now. If you don't want a lawyer, then
24:07
I'm going to rain you. I'm going to let you go talk to
24:10
the prosecutor and see if you can resolve.
24:13
Do you want a lawyer to represent you?
24:16
At any time. I can hire an attorney, right?
24:19
Sure. I will have to wait.
24:23
Any rights for that? I'm just telling you, you have
24:26
the right to a lawyer by law through the MIDC.
24:30
OK, So I could give you a lawyer right now that will talk to you
24:35
and represent you with this arraignment and pre trial if you
24:39
want me to. If you want to waive your right
24:42
to a lawyer and say judge, I don't want a lawyer, I'm going
24:45
to go ahead and arraign you. I'm going to explain the charge,
24:48
possible penalties, and your rights.
24:52
If you decide you want A to hire a lawyer, then you just tell me
24:56
that and I'll let you go hiring. OK, well.
25:01
If I tell you I want to. Hire a lawyer and what if I.
25:03
Ended up not hiring a lawyer, is that like?
25:05
Trouble or something I. Don't know what you mean.
25:09
I can arraign you today. Explain the charge in the
25:12
possible penalties if you choose to go hire your lawyer.
25:15
I'm going to set a new date and go let you go hire your own
25:18
lawyer. OK, well, I was never.
25:24
Certain of some of those and I, I had a misgiving.
25:28
I understand that I misgiving. You're trying to hold a free
25:32
trial out of something. I'm the judge.
25:37
I'm not a witness. You don't want to ask me
25:40
questions. You're not asking me questions.
25:42
You're going to only ask me questions about things that you
25:45
don't understand. You're not going to ask me
25:48
questions. I'm not a witness.
25:50
Yes, Sir. Now I'm just asking you, it's a
25:53
yes or no. It's very simple.
25:55
Would you like me to appoint you a lawyer right now to represent
25:59
you with the arraignment and the pre trial, yes or no?
26:03
And when would the arraignment be right now?
26:06
As soon as you talk to the lawyer and the lawyer goes and
26:08
talks to the prosecutor for you. How?
26:10
How can I? Properly defend myself, I'm
26:13
going to say for some of the people.
26:16
I'm not going to debate. They don't pay me enough to
26:19
debate things with you. I'm not going to debate.
26:23
With you, you. Either tell me judge, I want a
26:26
lawyer. Can I tell you a nervous?
26:28
Statement so I can hear some of the.
26:30
Service. Sure, sure.
26:32
If you think you weren't properly served, you can file an
26:35
appropriate motion. I'm going to arraign you today.
26:39
I will give you a lawyer to help you through the arraignment
26:43
today, and then I'm going to set a bond.
26:46
And then you can decide to hire your own lawyer if you choose to
26:50
represent yourself, if you choose to.
26:52
And we're going to proceed with the case.
26:59
So so. The special appearance did
27:02
nothing to listen. I mean, I know these listen, I
27:07
get these things are online and you guys like to have fun.
27:11
I get it's I'm just trying to you, you, you want to have fun.
27:14
You want to have fun. This is not a place to have fun.
27:16
Not fun. Do you want a lawyer yes or no?
27:20
If if you're forcing an arraignment after days, I'm
27:23
forcing an arraignment and there's an.
27:25
Arraignment. It's just where I explain the
27:28
charge and the possible penalties and your rights.
27:30
Or you can go get a lawyer. I'll give you a lawyer.
27:32
You can talk to the lawyer. You can talk about all this,
27:34
that you weren't served with a summons and the government is
27:38
corrupt and the government doesn't do what they supposed to
27:41
do. And that's fine.
27:42
You can raise all those, right, all those defenses and I will
27:46
listen. To you.
27:47
So. You're you will give.
27:48
Me, an attorney to talk to you right now, absolutely free of
27:50
charge. Free.
27:52
Of charge, free of charge, you're entitled to 1.
27:55
The state adopted these rules. It's not my rule, but they did
27:58
that about 6-7, eight years ago now.
28:01
And and, and Raymond, you want a plea or you want just to
28:05
understand the charges, you go talk to a lawyer.
28:09
I I can. Walk on here right now and go
28:10
talk to a lawyer. Yeah, we're going to give you
28:12
one. I'll give you a lawyer, John,
28:15
who will be his lawyer? Probably.
28:19
Mr. Crawford here. Yes, you're who else do we have
28:23
here today? Who is Tony Kirvin?
28:30
And what about Chris Christopher Shebran?
28:34
I'm sorry. All right, so yes, we will set
28:38
you up with a lawyer, go right out the hallway and he's going
28:41
to give you a little. It's just an array here and I
28:49
just want to fully arraignment is where I explained the charge,
28:53
possible penalties and your rights period.
28:57
You can have a lawyer to do that with.
28:59
You come in here with a lawyer and have the lawyer no go
29:03
negotiate this case to the extent that he wants to or you
29:07
want to, or you can waive your right to a lawyer and I will
29:11
arraign you. I believe I can just handle it
29:16
already to tell me my rights, correct?
29:21
Say it again. I'm explaining you the charge,
29:24
the possible penalties and your rights.
29:28
You know the form he wanted you to sign that you declined to
29:31
sign because for whatever reason you just signed, it is decided
29:35
you wanted to be a little bit more belligerent.
29:38
Well, you didn't want to sign the advice or rights form.
29:40
You can read right. You can read right.
29:43
Then why didn't you want to sign the advice of rights to the
29:46
union? I didn't see why would I have to
29:47
sign so to say, hey, I want my rights, so I wouldn't Well, why
29:52
was I ever have to sign to keep your rights?
29:54
They just want to engage in this banner.
29:56
It's kind of funny. It's kind of funny really.
29:59
I've seen enough of this and I please don't.
30:02
I don't need to let. Everybody else.
30:07
It's. Always a good somebody doesn't
30:09
want to sign the advice to rights that they're going to
30:11
come up here and interview with them.
30:13
I'm just a little conduit. I didn't have anything to do
30:15
with the ticket. I don't have anything to do with
30:17
writing the laws. Let's make this, let's make this
30:22
easy. You're going to answer yes, I
30:24
want a lawyer or no, I don't want a lawyer.
30:28
And if you tell me no, I don't, then I'm going to go through
30:30
your rights and I'm still going to read all your rights to you
30:33
because you were too belligerent to handle and sign the advice of
30:36
rights that he asked you to sign.
30:38
So do you want a lawyer? Yes or no?
30:41
At this day? No, Sir.
30:42
OK. Do you want me to arraign you?
30:44
Then? Without a lawyer, you're going
30:47
to have to file a motion on you. You don't want a lawyer, right,
30:55
Sir? I put in a notice to the first
30:57
one of the birds coming to challenge.
30:58
You can only like the prosecutor represent.
31:04
They don't need Cordish church. Can you place?
31:08
That down as I said, the. Court the Cordish Church.
31:11
Can you place? That down, let's sort of explain
31:13
how on balance it is any any any unrevealed contracts.
31:16
Unrevealed contracts. What a great contract, huh?
31:22
Unrevealed contracts. I love this stuff.
31:26
I love this. You want me to reign you where
31:29
you want a lawyer letting improve jurisdictions?
31:32
I don't need to prove anything. I'm not a party to the action.
31:35
I'm the judge. I'm the independent party.
31:37
Yet, Sir, it is alleged, Sir, that you did operate a motor
31:41
vehicle while you were under the influence of drugs.
31:45
They think that you had operated that vehicle on November 28 to
31:49
25 to 12:56 in the morning on Allen near Van Horn and Woody
31:54
operating with the presence of drugs it says you had in your in
32:00
your system THC. This is a misdemeanor punishable
32:06
about the $500 in fines, 93 days jail, 360 hours community
32:10
service, court costs are all those six points would be added
32:14
to your traffic record. Your license would be suspended
32:17
or revoked in accordance with your record.
32:19
Your vehicle could be or I might not have to be immobilized
32:22
depending upon your record. You understand that?
32:27
I. Understand you need a Stanley
32:29
concern addiction. No, I, I said, you understand
32:32
what I just said. Sent to what?
32:34
You you understand what I said, right?
32:36
I'm commented to what you said. I don't know what the hell
32:38
you're talking. Comment.
32:40
What do you mean? You have another word for
32:42
understanding, Sir? I'm just going to navigate and
32:47
feed my rights in your. Courtroom, Sir, is.
32:49
That my courtroom. I don't see anywhere in here
32:51
where they deeded me the property.
32:53
I've never referred to this. Not one time is my courtroom.
32:56
It's not my corporate. Well, that just means I'm a
33:01
little occupant. I'm a tenant here.
33:03
They gave me the privilege just sitting here for the last 32
33:06
years. You see that guy, that was my
33:07
father and he was here for 18, the 1st and best judge of the
33:10
court ever. The guy in the back there was my
33:12
grandfather, who was a heck of a lawyer and the Wayne County
33:17
prosecutor and a justice to the peace.
33:20
Now, I'm not playing with you. You understand what I said?
33:26
Good. All right.
33:27
Now you have the right to remain site.
33:30
That's a big, that's a big right.
33:32
You have the right to remain silent.
33:35
You do not have the same. If you choose to say something
33:39
in or out of court, whether orally or in writing, it can be
33:42
used against you. Do you understand?
33:46
You understand you have the right to be represented by a
33:49
lawyer not only today, but at all subsequent court
33:52
proceedings. If you cannot afford a lawyer, I
33:55
will be more than happy to provide you with one in Public
33:57
Express if you ever choose to submit the question with law
34:01
enforcement officials. And you don't have to do that.
34:04
You have the right to be represented by your lawyer.
34:06
You understand that. You understand that you have the
34:11
right to a trial in this case. You have the constitutional
34:13
right to a jury trial. If that trial, 6 people would be
34:16
impaneled, all six would have to agree that you're guilty beyond
34:19
a reasonable doubt in order for you to be convicted.
34:21
At a trial, you have the right to remain silent.
34:25
That silence would not be held against you.
34:27
Do you understand it? And do you understand that at a
34:32
trial, you could bring in your own witnesses.
34:34
You could use the subpoena powers of the court to bring in
34:36
those witnesses. You could testify or remain
34:39
silent. If you just testify, that's your
34:42
choice. You can cross examine
34:44
prosecution witnesses. You can use the subpoena powers
34:47
of the court to bring in those witnesses.
34:50
And if you plead guilty at any time, we're not going to have a
34:52
trial and we're waiving the presumption of innocence.
34:55
You're waiving the requirement that they prove you guilty
34:58
beyond a reasonable doubt. Do you understand?
35:01
All right, so I will go ahead and I will enter inoculate.
35:06
I, I did present a motion. I I'm going to hang out.
35:09
Hang on. I'm going to go ahead and enter
35:10
inoculate the plea for you. Well, that would be personal.
35:13
Off from the pills, right? OK.
35:15
Would it you want me to enter a guilty plea for you?
35:17
I'll ask you how you plead. You plead not guilty or guilty.
35:20
Well, Sir, I'm. Just not to plead without.
35:23
Court is entering a not guilty plea.
35:26
I was excellent. You want to plead guilty.
35:30
OK, Well, you can't have it both ways.
35:32
It's either not guilty, mute or guilty.
35:34
I mean, there's I don't know what you're talking about here.
35:36
You're having your phone. I get it.
35:38
I'll enter a not guilty plea and I will look.
35:43
It depends what it is. There's no you're going to file.
35:47
You can file your motion to dismiss, OK, You're going to
35:50
have to file a written motion, serve it on the prosecutor, and
35:54
then we'll set a hearing date. And then how?
35:58
Do I? How do I get my summons?
36:00
You don't need a summons, they gave you a site to know.
36:03
What? Information is being oh, you
36:05
want discovery, you want the police materials.
36:08
That's different than a summons. If you want discovery, I'll be
36:11
glad to give you discovery you. Since you want to represent
36:14
yourself, apparently you can prepare your own discovery
36:16
order, $1000 personal bond. You cannot leave the state
36:21
without the consent of the court.
36:23
You cannot violate any law ordinance.
36:26
You must appear in court as directed and I'm going to give
36:31
you a new court date. Again, I'm going to invite you
36:34
to go hire your own lawyer. If you want a court appointed
36:38
lawyer, you can fill out a petition for once.
36:40
But the but your bond conditions are no alcohol, no marijuana, no
36:47
illegal drugs, no marijuana either, or illegal controlled
36:50
substance. Also.
36:52
Again, you cannot leave the state cannot violate a law.
36:55
You must appear in court as directed.
36:58
Heather, give me a date please. March 18th at 9:30.
37:03
I'm sorry, what? The 18th at 9:30.
37:06
Correct, Judge. If it's the same question, I'm
37:09
not going to answer it. If you have a different or new
37:11
question, I'll be glad to answer it.
37:13
Well, I'm, I'm a medical marijuana car patient holder.
37:17
Then I, I use marijuana for medical purposes.
37:20
Well, you're going to have to provide proof of that, Kevin and
37:25
I, I didn't I. Couldn't do that now.
37:34
Let me, let me put it to you this way.
37:39
As of right now, while I honor the medical marijuana law, even
37:44
though I might disagree with it, I'm going to tell you no medical
37:48
marijuana. And the reason is the reasons
37:53
that the allegation here is that you were under the IT.
37:56
I want to be clear about this if you if this involved alcohol, my
38:00
standard order says no alcohol, marijuana or legal drugs.
38:07
I would never stop somebody from using medical marijuana if they
38:12
if they have a valid medical marijuana card.
38:16
The problem here is in a court on appeal can hear me nice and
38:20
loudly. The allegation here is that it
38:24
was marijuana and that your ability to operate that motor
38:27
vehicle was significant was was impeded.
38:31
In other words, you, you operated with the presence of
38:34
drugs in your system, which is illegal.
38:36
So therefore, even if you have a valid medical marijuana card, at
38:40
this point, I'm denying you the ability to use medical marijuana
38:44
and it's solely on that basis. Again, if this involved alcohol
38:48
or some other type of drug, at least the allegation on the
38:52
ticket is that you wonder the influence based upon marijuana
38:56
use. So I'm not allowing you to use
38:59
medical marijuana right now. We will set this for a pretrial.
39:03
You can file any motions, you can hire a lawyer, you can
39:07
demand, you can ask for a court appointed, in which case I will
39:11
do that. So you're going to go down the
39:12
hall and get your court? What was the date again?
39:14
March the 18th and we'll give you.
39:16
Can I get a little further to try?
39:20
Hello defense to hire an attorney.
39:21
Well, I don't know. You haven't really told me you
39:23
were going to hire an attorney. You said that at 1.2 weeks away.
39:26
I had to say summons, discovery. I haven't seen nothing.
39:29
It's a pretrial. It's not a try.
39:32
I'll set it for a pretrial. Pretrial.
39:35
Can't. Can't play this place.
39:36
Pretrial is when you, you or your lawyer can meet with the
39:40
prosecutor. If you want to go talk to the
39:42
prosecutor right now about signing a discovery order, I'll
39:45
be happy to sign him and you can get the paper discovery from the
39:50
prosecutor now. About anything.
39:54
You can if you choose to. If you're going to waive your
39:57
right to a lawyer, you can always talk to the press.
39:59
You can go in and see if you can resolve the case right now.
40:01
You can go in and tell him about your motion if you waive your
40:04
right to a lawyer and say, hey, you didn't serve me with a
40:06
summons. But as of right now, it's not if
40:12
you don't want a lawyer. And you want to go talk to him
40:16
and represent yourself. I can't stop you from doing
40:19
that. Feel free.
40:20
Maybe even go in and tell him these things you just told me.
40:22
And maybe he's going to just say, you know what?
40:25
I'm I'm afraid of you. I'm going to dismiss the case.
40:28
He might say that I don't know you can do that.
40:31
So if you want to go talk to him about a discovery order or
40:35
you're you're motion to dismiss the want of jurisdiction or
40:39
anything else, feel free. As of now though, my discussion
40:43
with you is concluding period. Go out, get your court date and
40:47
figure out how you're going to proceed.
40:48
Thank you. Can I get a further court date?
40:51
No, we're doing we're no, that's two weeks.
40:54
Let's move. Come on.
40:55
I got to hire two weeks. Yeah.
40:58
Prepare, Get out of here. Back away from the pony.
41:02
You've had your funds for one day.
41:04
We'll have more fun going forward.
41:06
Jennifer Nicole Watson. Oh, my goodness.
41:10
Good morning once again, everybody.
41:11
TCF live. It's a fun Wednesday, isn't it?
41:15
You know, I don't know about you guys, but the biggest shock to
41:18
me was that he was a marijuana user.
41:21
Didn't see that one coming. Oh, all right.
41:26
We'll come back to Judge Dad later, But let's, let's change
41:29
it up a little. Let's let's go see a certain
41:32

41:49

41:50

41:52

41:56
waive that conflict and ask this honorable court to please hear
41:58
all that matters before today. Thank you The court for each
42:01
part also does not believe there's conflict either in the
42:03
Michigan court rules or the case is decided there under to the
42:06
extent of conflict does exist. Given the waivers court will
42:09
consent to hear the matters. Court does call the case of the
42:12
people versus Angelo Andrews Good morning are ready to cook
42:14

42:37
Yes, your Honor. All right, So as to the
42:40
arraignment your way, formal reading and your client stands
42:42
mute. We do, Your honor.
42:45
But then, having way formal reading, standing mute, the
42:47
court will enter a not guilty plea on his behalf.
42:51
Today's the 4th and where do we want to go from here?
42:57
Your Honor, I, we have submitted a offer to the prosecutor's
43:00
office hoping to potentially resolve the matter.
43:05
Mr. Andrews drives for basement waterproofing company.
43:07
This is not a like an over the road carrier or anything such as
43:11
that. You know, we're, we're hoping
43:14
that we might be able to resolve it through the payment of some
43:17
overweight fines and and some civil infractions rather than
43:21
misdemeanors. These are light.
43:23
These are there's a these are light duty dump trucks on the
43:27
day in question just just so the court has the context there was
43:31
heavy clay I. Don't know that I need to
43:32
contact. Do you want me to adjourn this
43:35
so you guys could talk that'd? Be fine.
43:37
Thank you. Yes, Mr. Chapel, if you could
43:40
just confirm what e-mail you sent.
43:42

43:44
can give you my e-mail so we can talk directly?
43:47

43:50
was an SA e-mail as I was looking through the file

earlier. Yeah, so my e-mail is
43:55
rcookr@washtenaw.org. Will the 18th give you enough
44:03
time or you guys need more time? Yeah, I think that would give us
44:07
enough time. During this matter to March
44:11
18th. 2. 1026, nine AM. Where's your invite?
44:15
Indicates I'll set the defendant's mind at $5000

45:05
Regarding bond? Mr. Williams is the father of
45:10
four children. He works 2 jobs.
45:12
He understands testing is going to be part of moving forward.
45:16
The sober link and random testing do not work with the
45:20
schedule of that that is imposed because of the children and the
45:24
jobs. So he's requesting A tether to
45:28
test moving forward. We have a very low BAC in this
45:32
case, but there is a prior from 2019.
45:36
And. Mr. Williams is what is the
45:39
alleged BAC points 08 for your honor.
45:42

the amount of a $10,000 personal recognizance bond.

I'll order standard conditions including no assault behavior or
46:04
possession of any weapons or ammunition.

50:52
So attorney Hugo J Mac, Your Honor, appearing with Miss
50:58
Johnson Dynamic Duo Thomas, this is this is now going to take a
51:02
turn. A.
51:04
Good turn. Well, I don't know.
51:06
I. Just.
51:09
Don't know, we don't know. Mr. Cook has come up with a
51:11
brilliant idea and my client is fully willing to comply if if
51:17
the court will allow us. So there's a possibility here,
51:22
if Mr. Cook agrees to have her deferred sentence on this
51:26
matter, Judge is going to plea Is that do I have forms?
51:31
No, you're not. I'm filling it out right now.
51:33
OK, so everything's not done. You didn't let Mr. Cook know
51:37
that's what you were doing. Well.
51:38
He knew, but he was so busy. They're so they're so busy.
51:42
OK, They're. So over worked in that all.
51:45
Right. So what I'm going to have to ask
51:46
you to do is she signed an advisor rights form.
51:49
She's not. Done anything?
51:51
No. Yeah, dynamic.
51:52
Just dynamic. Listen.
51:55
I'm. Going to pass it let you get all
51:56
the forms filled out, then I'll call you back up.
51:59
Appreciate it. OK.
52:02
No, that's not my fault, right? What I.
52:04
Said that's not my fault. They didn't give it to me.
52:06
No. I know nothing is ever your
52:08
fault. We've been through this before.
52:20
Court calls the case people versus is it Zeke Church?
52:23
What are you on agreement to cook with people?
52:26
And Judge, good morning to you and the staff.
52:28
Vincent Haisha within on behalf of Zeke Church.
52:30
She's present through Zoom without objection.
52:34
Church, can you state your name, please?
52:36
Zeke Church. OK, and what are we doing?
52:40
Are we entering A plea today? We.
52:43
Are. Get my forms here.
52:49
Forms I had before me indicate that the defendant will be
52:52
pleading guilty to the charge of disturbing the peace and 90 day
52:57
offense. Upon a successful plea to that
52:58
charge, Count 1 would be dismissed.
53:01
There is also a sentence agreement of prosecutors
53:03
deferred. That's a court understanding of
53:05
the That's correct, Your honor. Ours as well, Judge.
53:09
All right, Very good Church. Can you raise your right hand,
53:12
please? Do you solemnly swear or affirm?
53:15
Testimony you're about to give will be the truth, the whole
53:17
truth and nothing but the truth to help you, God, I do state
53:21
your name again for the record, please, Sir.
53:23
Zeke Church. All right, Sir.
53:25
It is this court's understanding that you're going to plead
53:27
guilty to the charge of disturbing the peace.
53:30
That is a misdemeanor punishable by after 90 days of jail, $500
53:33
fine plus court cost. Do you understand that?
53:35
Yes, Sir. I'm trying to get to the court.
53:37
It won't let me. Well, can Motorola?
53:42
Can you? Thank you.
53:46
So Sir, just because we had an interruption there, you
53:49
understand the maximum penalties, is that correct?
53:52
Correct. Yes.
53:53
And understanding those penalties, do you still wish to
53:55
plead guilty? Yes.
53:58
And do that chart. OK, whoever, one more time for
54:07
the person, Mark Motorola, and then I'm just removing you from
54:11
the courtroom. Sorry about that, Mister Church.
54:16
So, Mr. Church, to that charge, how do you plead?
54:19
Guilty now. You understand that by pleading
54:22
guilty you'll not have a trial of any kind?
54:24
Yes. You signed an advice of rights
54:27
form. Is that correct, Sir?
54:29
No, I don't think so. I think this is the form that we
54:32
went through that you gave me permission to sign.
54:34
OK, so. You had you caused it to be
54:37
signed on your behalf, is that correct, Sir?
54:39
Correct, yes. You have any questions regarding
54:40
any of those rights? No.
54:43
All right. Looking at paragraph 5, those
54:45
are your rights which are part of a trial.
54:47
You understand by pleading guilty you'll be giving up those
54:49
rights as well as all the rights that are on that form, yes.
54:52
You understand you're giving up your right to appeal of right?
54:55
Yes. Are you on probation or parole?
54:58
No. Has anybody promised you
55:01
anything other than what's been stated here today on the record
55:03
to get you to plead? No.
55:05
Anybody threaten your coercion? No.
55:09
You're doing this voluntarily and of your own free will.
55:11
Yes, Your Honor. And also because you believe
55:14
that you're guilty of this offense.
55:16
Yes, Your Honor, on the date of March 29th, 2025, at the
55:21
location of 4095 Carpenter Rd. in Pittsfield Township,
55:25
Washtenaw County, State of Michigan.
55:27
What'd you do that makes you think that you're guilty?
55:31
Man, what do, your Honor? Yes, you may.
55:34
Mr. Church, that location that the judge just mentioned was
55:37
that better known as best in games in Pittsfield Township, at
55:42
least to you. Mr. Church, can you hear me?
55:48
Yes. Sorry, yes, best thing, yes.
55:51
OK. On that date, were you present
55:53
at best in games? Yes.
55:55
Did you engage with two individuals that you did not
55:57
know? Yes, I did.
55:59
And and while you were engaging, that involved some pushing and
56:02
shoving. Yes, it did.
56:04
And that happened, you'd agree, in front of other people, in the
56:07
general public. Yes, correct.
56:10
And who? Who, of course, observed this?
56:11
Is that fair to say? Yeah.
56:14
I'm public with your honor. All right.
56:16
Would you agree, Sir, that that that disturbed the peace and
56:19
repose of the immediate area surrounding where you were?
56:23
Yes, all. Right.
56:25
Sir, I do have to advise you that if I accept your plea, if
56:29
we do in the time of my acceptance of your plea, in the
56:31
time of sentencing, if you commit misconduct as defined in
56:33
the Michigan Court rules, you would not be entitled to
56:36
withdraw your plea and the court would not be bound by any
56:38
sentence evaluation or recommendation.
56:40
You understand that, Sir? Yes, Sir, is.
56:43
Council aware of any other promises, threats or other
56:45
inducements which have led to this plea, None from the.
56:48
People. None, Your Honor.
56:50
And have I complied with the courtroom?
56:52
Yes, Your Honor. You.
56:53
Have. Court will accept the
56:55
defendant's plea of guilty to Count 2.
57:00
Count 1 is dismissed. Well, yes.
57:05
Pending is referred to probation for pre sentence recommendation
57:10
and consideration of prosecutors.
57:11
Deferred sentencing in this matter will be April. 8th at
57:16
9:00. AM April 8th, 2026, 9:00 AM.
57:20
That's great, George, Fine. Fine with its conditions.
57:23
We'll continue. Do I have probation?
57:25
I do. Mr. Church, I'm going to ask you
57:28
to remain online. We're going to put you into a
57:30
breakout room with my probation department so we can begin to
57:32
the sentencing process. OK, Sir.
57:34
Yeah. Thank you.
57:36
Thank you once again, everybody. Good morning, TCF live on a
57:40
Wednesday. Good to have you here.
57:41
And we've got a lot of new people here this morning, so
57:44
welcome to all of you. Just so you know, we are live
57:47
here every Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM Eastern, 6:00 AM
57:50
Pacific. If you choose to become a
57:52
channel member, you get to join us 1/2 an hour early for the pre
57:55
show where it's something a little different every day.
57:59
On this morning's pre show, we explored how process service is
58:04
like turning into like Uber or DoorDash.
58:09
It's really weird, but you can join us for stuff like that.
58:13
We have a lot of fun on the pre show as well and normally we're
58:17
a four hour show, but today we are going to be 3 hours.
58:20
I need the 4th hour to work on some other businessy kind of
58:23
things. So 3 hour show today.
58:25
But again, welcome to all the new people.
58:28
We also jump around court to court all across the country.
58:31
So let's go down to Florida. Wade Mercer doing his first
58:35
appearances. If what for?
58:37
Your mother and your grandmother are here, you're here.
58:39
For first appearance. Use A1 count of possession with
58:41
intent to distribute marijuana. One count of possession.
58:46
Excuse me. Persons engaged in criminal
58:48
offenses having weapons and fleeing or attempting to elude
58:50
law enforcement. Those are three charges you're
58:52
accused of. Mr. Magena.
58:54
Know, there's been a couple of text messages and we've all read
58:56
that statute. Does the offense want to be
58:58
heard at all? On the probable call, Sir, I
59:02
think that you had it dead on. You know, certainly Commission
59:04
of a of a felony. And yeah, I don't know if he was
59:06
in the. Commission of a felony.
59:08
At the time when he was, and I already know if they can, the
59:10
penalty say that it was his gun since there's multiple people.
59:13
I'll say since there was multiple people in the vehicle,
59:15
your honor, so. Mr. Mitchell, I.
59:20
Mean I. Think we just heard him say he
59:21
was. I didn't hear what he.
59:23
Said I know he said something like anybody said, but I.
59:26
Mean that I think that's what I heard, but I mean.
59:29
Our. Main focus is looking at the
59:31
other two felony charges which are more serious in nature so.
59:34
Mr. Walker, what we're talking about is that statute says
59:37
whoever while committing or attempting to commit any felony,
59:40
displays, uses, threatens or attempts to use any firearm.
59:43
None of those are, none of those are applicable.
59:47
But then it says or carries A concealed firearm.
59:50
So the question becomes allegedly there was a firearm
59:53
under your seat. So is that carrying?
59:56
Normally the definition of carrying means owner about your
59:59
person. So I think it's a close call.
1:00:00
What I'm going to do is probably compromise and I'm going to own
1:00:03
that charge. I'm going to find probable
1:00:05
cause, but I'm going to give you an ROR because I think that's a
1:00:07
really close call. And I don't know, frankly, the
1:00:10
statue doesn't define carries. But I I'm going to just give you
1:00:14
an ROR on that charge. You're going to get a pretty
1:00:16
good bond on the other charges because you have pending charges
1:00:18
in Houston County, Alabama. So Mr. McDaniel on bond, I don't
1:00:22
know that gave you a chance on bond anything, Mr. McDaniel?
1:00:25
There you are. Mr. Mitchell.
1:00:27
We just request to be subject to random U as.
1:00:31
Thank you. Mr. Wofford.
1:00:31
On the possession with intent to distribute marijuana, your bonds
1:00:34
going to be $15,000 because you already have pending charges in
1:00:37
another state. I'm not going to hold you for
1:00:38
Alabama because I don't know that I've ever had them pick
1:00:41
someone up on the bond revocation.
1:00:43
Mr. McDaniel has convinced me over the years.
1:00:45
I used to hold people for 10 days or seven days.
1:00:48
Mr. McDaniel has convinced me that there's never been a single
1:00:50
person they picked up within that time period.
1:00:52
So it's kind of not accomplishing a whole lot to
1:00:54
hold them. They may violate your bond if
1:00:56
they do, they'll deal with that in due course.
1:00:58
If your own bond, I know you've got pending charges, so you've
1:01:02
got a bond said in that case, the second charge of flinger
1:01:05
attending to a law enforcement flu law enforcement is going to
1:01:07
get the same bond because. You.
1:01:10
Have pending charges again. So that makes your total bond, I
1:01:13
said 15 on each, is that right? Your total bond is $30,000 cash
1:01:16
or surety. You do not have to post bond on
1:01:19
the person engaged in criminal offenses for the reasons I've
1:01:21
already put on the record. You do have a condition of
1:01:24
random urinalysis. That means you can be drug
1:01:25
tested at any time. So ladies, here's the here's the
1:01:28
thing. If you post bond for him, he's
1:01:31
entitled to get out. If they turn around and revoke
1:01:33
his bond in Alabama because of this new arrest, you just wasted
1:01:36
money. So my suggestion would be to
1:01:39
talk to someone in Alabama, the bonding agent if he's on bond or
1:01:43
or. The.
1:01:44
His attorney up there before you post bond here, before you even
1:01:47
try to because you could be wasting money if they're going
1:01:50
to revoke his bond. Let me see if your family has
1:01:52
any questions. Do you have any questions,
1:01:54
ladies? They don't have any questions.
1:01:56
Do you have any questions, Mr. Watford?
1:01:58
No. Sir all.
1:02:00
Right, the jails will give you a notice, Mr. Watford, for your
1:02:02
court date, which will be April the 7th at 8:30, and that'll be
1:02:06
in the next courtroom down in front of Judge Garcia.
1:02:08
Wish you the best, Sir. We have Franchet Ramos.
1:02:16
Yes, ma'am. OK, Mr. Mcdade, let's stop him,
1:02:23
please. She wants him to be told
1:02:24
something. So your mom wants you to know
1:02:32
that they're going to go ahead and post bond or or speak with
1:02:35
the bondsman about the possibility of posting bond for
1:02:37
you. So again, if you do that and two
1:02:40
days from now there's a warning Alabama, he's going to have no
1:02:42
bond in Alabama. You paid, you paid quite a bit
1:02:44
of money for two days being out if that happens all.
1:02:47
Right, have a good day. I'm going to call Alabama when I
1:02:49
get out. I need to call.
1:02:52
Alabama before you get out. It was my money.
1:02:54
But that's that's your child, not mine.
1:02:55
Thank you, Sir. All right, in this case we have
1:03:00
is Miss Ramos. Miss Ramos, you're here for one
1:03:02
charge of battery. I signed an order revoking your
1:03:04
bond yesterday based upon video of you having contacted alleged
1:03:09
victim was a violation of the conditions of your bond.
1:03:11
So let me see where we're going to go with your case as far as
1:03:14
scheduling or resolution possibly.
1:03:15
Mr. McDaniel. Anything on behalf of Miss
1:03:17
Ramos? Yeah.
1:03:19
I don't have any kind of offers or any kind of resolution to it.
1:03:22
Madam Clerk. Is.
1:03:23
March 11th, all right, depending on that date or are you going to
1:03:25
be on the April? April 8th.
1:03:28
I would say, do you want me to say I was actually going to
1:03:32
request that we bring her back on March 11th because of the new
1:03:37
information I found out about a pending felony in Leon County.
1:03:40
I did my duty as an ASA to contact that ASA, see if they're
1:03:45
going to do anything about that open case so we can give it a
1:03:48
week and I should have something by next week, so.
1:03:51
She's got a pending felony. She's out on bond on yes.
1:03:54
That she. Was on bond on when this charge
1:03:56
allegedly occurred. Yes.
1:03:58
And. That ASA is.
1:03:59
Considering where they're going to ask her about her bond in
1:04:01
that case. Yes, OK.
1:04:03
So you said March 11th and. You're.
1:04:06
OK. With that date, Mr. McDaniel,
1:04:08
that's good, Your Honor, And I don't know.
1:04:09
I mean I. What we're going to do beyond
1:04:11
that, if we go instead for the OK, we'll just sit on the more
1:04:14
schedule. So Miss Ramos, we're going to
1:04:17
schedule you for March 11th. That gives Mr. Mitchell time to
1:04:19
the side going forward with this case.
1:04:21
It also gives him time to communicate with that prosecutor
1:04:23
there. So you're going to be in jail
1:04:25
until at least March 11th and we're going to see you then.
1:04:27
Miss Ramos, do you have any questions?
1:04:29
No, but I would like to apologize for violating your
1:04:33
rules with being in contact with him.
1:04:37
I'll, I, I appreciate that miss rang us, but I feel like the
1:04:39
only reason you're apologizing because guy got caught.
1:04:42
So you're you're not going anywhere.
1:04:44
There we'll. We'll see you March 11th.
1:04:46
OK. Thank you.
1:04:50
Next we have Sally Wilkinson, Marcus Tovar.
1:04:56
I'm. Sorry, I'll skip.
1:04:57
Over him. We'll come back to him.
1:04:58
I I don't know what I did with this.
1:05:01
Must have got the paperwork out of order downstairs somehow.
1:05:03
I don't. Know how I did that?
1:05:08
And Miss Wilkinson. Good morning.
1:05:09
Miss Wilkinson. You're here in case 26-68.
1:05:13
MMM. For one charge of petty theft.
1:05:15
In addition to that, you have two new charges from yesterday
1:05:18
where you're arrested for two new charges of petty theft.
1:05:20
There is probable cause, ma'am, for those charges.
1:05:23
I'm going to appoint the public Turner's office to represent
1:05:25
you. I think Mr. McDaniel and Mr.
1:05:26
Mitchell may have reached an agreement in your case.
1:05:28
So listen to your attorney, Sir. Ma'am, Your Honor, I spoke to
1:05:32
Miss Wilkinson in 2668. MMM.
1:05:35
She's going to plea of no contest to the charge of petty
1:05:37
theft. You understand?
1:05:38
She'll be placed on probation for 11 months, 29 days, $370
1:05:42
fine. She'll take a retail theft class
1:05:43
while she's on probation. There'll be a total restitution
1:05:46
of $259.03, which includes. The.
1:05:50
New case that she was arrested for last night, which the states
1:05:53
agreed to dismiss and the cases that she he has as review cases.
1:05:57
That's all the cases added together.
1:06:00
She has signed a plea waiver form waiving a right to a jury
1:06:02
trial and called witnesses. And.
1:06:04
This resolved this case today. Thank you.
1:06:08
Mr. McDaniel, did you say no contact with any Walmart?
1:06:11
Walmart Supervision. I had no contact at all.
1:06:14
I was like. You cannot go to any Walmart.
1:06:17
You cannot go to any Walmart while you're on probation.
1:06:19
Walmart, Sir. That's right, no.
1:06:22
Walmart at all, Sir? That's right, Miss Wilkinson,
1:06:25
Did you? Did you hear?
1:06:27
Did you hear that agreement, ma'am?
1:06:28
What did you say do? You.
1:06:30
Hear that agreement. I can barely hear it because
1:06:33
like my hearing aid batteries are going out.
1:06:36
But but he's ready. Yes, I understand.
1:06:42
Is that the play you would like to enter, ma'am?
1:06:45
Yes, right. Yes, that's what I would like to
1:06:47
do, Judge. Mr. Mitchell is that agreeable
1:06:51
with the state it? Is your honor OK?
1:06:53
So she's pleading to 1 count and that's the 2668 and other
1:06:57
charges being dismissed. But you're collecting
1:06:59
restitution for everything, correct?
1:07:01
OK. So, Miss Wilkinson, I'm going to
1:07:02
accept your plea of no contest in case 26 at 68.
1:07:06
MMM To the charge of petty theft, withhold adjudication of
1:07:09
guilt. You have no prior history, so
1:07:10
I'm going to place you on probation for 11 months and 29
1:07:12
days. Core.
1:07:14
Costs and fines are entered in three 370 dollars $259.03
1:07:18
Restitution. Successfully complete a retail
1:07:20
theft program within 60 days. No contact with any Walmart
1:07:25
while on supervision. The state is.
1:07:27
Agreeing the state is agreeing not to file on.
1:07:30
Review. Cases 25-405 and 25-494 and the
1:07:35
other two cases from yesterday are going to be dismissed as
1:07:38
part of this plea agreement. And Miss Wilkinson, do you have
1:07:41
any questions, ma'am? No.
1:07:44
Sir, I just thank you very much, Judge Mercy, and you won't see
1:07:47
me coming here again. I hope not.
1:07:50
Thank you, ma'am. We'll see you at the courthouse
1:07:51
in a little while, OK, Madam Clerk I I spoke with her about
1:07:55
getting her notice and she didn't get her notice her she
1:07:57
has that is apartment complex and it's apartment C, If you
1:08:00
could add that to the. Your stuff.
1:08:02
That the address was correct, it's just that it has to be have
1:08:05
apartment. Yes, that's why I didn't get it.
1:08:08
So. If y'all can y'all get a correct
1:08:09
address too downstairs, don't you?
1:08:11
Yeah. The last case, I think for this
1:08:15
movie thank you ma'am, there's. Morgan Center Bar.
1:08:25
Mr. Tovar. Good morning.
1:08:26
Mr. Tovar, you're here because you've been accused of 1 count
1:08:28
of violation of state probation in case 21-323.
1:08:31
CF I'm looking at a copy of a warrant signed by Judge Garcia.
1:08:35
It's a no bond warrant. Mr. Tovar.
1:08:37
So what I'm going to do is go ahead and get you arraigned this
1:08:39
morning because I want to get you a lawyer appointed if you're
1:08:41
wanting one. Mr. Tovar, would you like to
1:08:43
have an attorney appointed to represent you in this BOP?
1:08:46
Yes, Sir. I'm going to appoint the public
1:08:48
centers also represent you. Listen to Mr. McDaniel, then
1:08:50
we'll see if you have any questions, John.
1:08:52
Are we going to interplete? Not guilty.
1:08:53
Yes, this is April 20. 3rd Court doc and.
1:08:55
Advisor, they advise them to be an attorney, to speak with him
1:08:57
prior to that hearing. Thank you, Mr. Mitchell.
1:09:02
Anything. No, Your Honor, so.
1:09:03
Mr. Tovar, that attorney will see you before your court date,
1:09:06
before you see Judge Garcia on that date.
1:09:07
Do you have any questions? No, Sir, no.
1:09:11
All right, have a good day, Sir. Mr. McDaniel It's everything on
1:09:17
my list. Anything else I may have missed
1:09:19
from the public owners office Sir?
1:09:21
Barbara, thank you for the $5 super chat.
1:09:23
Very much appreciate it. Good morning to you as well.
1:09:28
I would like to direct your attention to the pinned chat if
1:09:32
you have not already. Please give me two minutes of
1:09:33
your time and take the survey. There's a link there for it.
1:09:36
Basically, we're just taking the pulse of our audience as we
1:09:38
grow, so we'd love to get your feedback.
1:09:40
It is anonymous. Again, takes about two minutes
1:09:42
of your time. So if you would be so kind at
1:09:45
some point this morning to do that, I would appreciate it.
1:09:48
Let's go back up to Michigan. Let's go to the Otsego County
1:09:53
Circuit Court, where Judge Mertz feels that justice is best
1:09:57
served in a converted pole barn. Council put your appearances on
1:10:04
people thank you honor Richard Trish training on behalf of.
1:10:08
Mr. Lundy all. Right.
1:10:10
And Mr. Trish, this is set for a probation violation hearing
1:10:14
today. How did you want to proceed?
1:10:16
You know, I've been in communications with Mr. Deleo
1:10:20
and I think we have a resolution of this.
1:10:24
Mr. Lundy would be tendering a no contest plea to Counts 1-2
1:10:29
and four. Counts 3 and five would be
1:10:33
dismissed. Mr. Deleo is recommending credit
1:10:38
for the 122 days in jail, credit for the 122 days he's already
1:10:42
served and dismissal from probation.
1:10:46
The the reason for the no contest, please.
1:10:49
Mr. Lundy has a trial on the and the Antrim.
1:10:54
County. Allegations which formed the
1:10:56
basis. For the.
1:10:57
Violation, he indicates to me said in about two weeks.
1:11:01
We we don't want the admissions here to potentially jeopardize
1:11:05
that trial. OK.
1:11:07
And what are we going to use as a factual basis?
1:11:09
I I think the court could rely on the affidavit attached to the
1:11:14
probation violation. OK.
1:11:17
All right. Miss Davis or Mr. Rollo.
1:11:19
Judge I I understand the. Defense's position.
1:11:21
As to some. Of the allegations, but I don't
1:11:23
understand why the if. It's a no.
1:11:27
Contest plea that would have anything to do with being gone
1:11:31
or not a list of. Address.
1:11:33
How does that? Impact any other pending
1:11:35
charges? Yeah, I mean, I I would agree
1:11:40
with that other than for procedural purposes, it might be
1:11:45
easier to think of no contest plea to all of them instead of a
1:11:48
guilty plea to one or two and no contest to other.
1:11:51
I just wanted to have to clarify the record.
1:11:53
Thank you. Miss.
1:11:56
Davis anything that you wanted to and.
1:11:58
He's asking that finds a cost be preserved as well.
1:12:02
OK. Did we want to move to
1:12:03
sentencing on this today? I I think it will be.
1:12:06
Appropriate given what the recommendation is.
1:12:08
OK, I'm just looking for that affidavit here.
1:12:12
I have I have a copy. Of it OK, can you?
1:12:15
Bring that word and it has the paragraphs marked.
1:12:29
OK, Mr. Lundy have excuse me, have you had a chance to talk
1:12:34
about this agreement and and So what is the the sentence
1:12:38
agreement in this case or what is the recommendation?
1:12:42
Agent. Romeo is asking that on
1:12:44
provision you revoked unsuccessfully preserve fines
1:12:47
and cost 122 days jail or credit for 122 days serve OK.
1:12:53
All. Right.
1:12:53
So Mr. Lundy, have you had a chance to talk to Mr. Truce
1:12:55
about this agreement? Is that how you wanted to
1:12:59
proceed today? Can you raise your right hand
1:13:01
please? Do you?
1:13:02
Sound I. Swear or affirm.
1:13:03
The testimony you're about to give will be the truth, the
1:13:06
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God.
1:13:09
Thank you, Lord. Again, Mr. Lundy, you understand
1:13:13
that you do have the right to have a hearing.
1:13:14
As to. Whether or not you violated your
1:13:16
probation and that by pleading no contest here, you're going to
1:13:20
be giving up that right also, although we have an agreement, I
1:13:26
think as to what the sentence is going to be, and I'm not, I
1:13:29
don't think I'm going to depart from that.
1:13:31
But by pleading no contest, it could subject you to the maximum
1:13:34
penalty on your underlying charge, which is up to two
1:13:36
years. Do you understand that?
1:13:37
Here's your order. OK.
1:13:40
With that in mind, what is your plea to the alleged probation
1:13:45
violations? No contacts.
1:13:48
Has anybody threatened you with anything to get you to enter
1:13:51
this plea today? No.
1:13:52
Your Honor has. Anybody promised you anything
1:13:55
other than what we said here on the record?
1:13:57
No. Your Honor.
1:13:58
Is. It your own free choice to enter
1:14:00
this plea, just your honor. OK.
1:14:05
I do want to confirm just a couple things.
1:14:08
Back on August 16th and September 8th of 2025, you were
1:14:14
on probation here in Matsego County, is that correct?
1:14:23
And Mr. Truce, you've reviewed the affidavit in support of the
1:14:29
alleged violations I have. Do you agree that if true, those
1:14:33
would provide a factual basis for finding that Mister Bundy
1:14:37
did violate his probation? Yes.
1:14:40
And Mr. Roland, have you done the same?
1:14:42
I haven't seen the updated at. All the none has been.
1:14:44
Provided to my office. OK.
1:14:46
Can you take a look at that? Yeah.
1:14:52
OK, I I have some of that's marked as a probation request
1:14:55
violation if that's what's being referred to.
1:14:57
Yes. OK.
1:14:59
Is this what you're? Talking about yes.
1:15:01
In that case touch I have reviewed it.
1:15:03
And I have no. Objection I do believe.
1:15:05
That needs. All right.
1:15:05
Thank. You based on that the court
1:15:10
finds that there. Is a factual.
1:15:12
Basis to support a finding that you did violate your probation
1:15:15
as alleged, the court will accept your no contest plea.
1:15:20
Other than what has already been stated, Miss Davis or Mr. Rola,
1:15:23
anything regarding sentencing? Thank you.
1:15:28
Mr. Troush, You know, I would just indicate, I think, that the
1:15:32
recommendation is appropriate in the situation.
1:15:36
I. Think when all is said and done
1:15:39
on this matter, you know Mr. Lundy has spent about 11 months
1:15:43
in the county jail between the sentence on the initial charge.
1:15:47
I. Think we had one?
1:15:48
Prior violation to this, which again he served additional time
1:15:52
on and then he spent I think about four months in Antrim's
1:15:56
jail when the new charges came and the violation warrant came
1:15:59
down. So again, all said and done,
1:16:02
he's served a significant amount of time on this at this point
1:16:05
makes sense to terminate the probation I think and the
1:16:08
recommendation is appropriate we.
1:16:10
Ask for to. Follow that, Mister Lundy.
1:16:13
Anything you wanted to say today?
1:16:16
All. Right, I did review.
1:16:17
The file prior to the hearing today, so I'm familiar with the
1:16:19
original charges in this case and what's going on during the
1:16:23
time you've been on probation. Based on that, I agree with Mr.
1:16:27
Dilio's assessment that there's no benefit to be given by
1:16:31
continue continuing you on probation here.
1:16:35
I also agree with the recommendation in terms of jail
1:16:38
time. I find it's appropriate and I
1:16:40
don't have any reason to to to depart from what Mr. Dileo finds
1:16:50
is appropriate. Giving him is monitoring you and
1:16:54
his knowledge of your situation. So.
1:16:58
The court is going. To adopt the recommendation, the
1:17:00
court will sentence you to 122 days in That's you go county
1:17:04
jail with credit for 122 days, Sir.
1:17:07
The. Court will preserve any
1:17:09
outstanding fines and costs and discharge you unsuccessfully
1:17:12
from your probation. You do have the ability to seek
1:17:15
an appeal of this sentence and Mr. You can have Mr. Lundy
1:17:20
acknowledge receipt. Director should reflect Mr.
1:17:53
Lindy's acknowledge of his appellate rights, that's all.
1:17:57
For today. Mr. Lindy and Mr. Trish, if you
1:18:00
can just let us. Know when you're.
1:18:01
Ready on Mr. Fix's case. Understood.
1:18:05
I have not seen him checked. Sure.
1:18:06
I mean we're. Ashley 11 months as a channel
1:18:11
member. Thank you so much.
1:18:14
So for those of you who don't know, Ashley is is one of the
1:18:18
backbones of this community. The amount of stuff she does.
1:18:25
I mean, not only does she show up as a panelist on sidebar, not
1:18:28
only is she here almost every morning in the chat with us, she
1:18:33
does a lot of work behind the scenes to figure out what topics
1:18:36
we're going to discuss on sidebar.
1:18:39
She is kind of the de facto TCF secretary.
1:18:43
She keeps track of dates and cases for follow up and stuff
1:18:46
for me and really helps this this machine move.
1:18:51
So Ashley, thank you for everything that you do.
1:18:53
Really appreciate it. And, and I, like I said in the
1:18:56
chat, it would not be the same without you here.
1:18:57
So I, I appreciate you. Let's go to Texas.
1:19:03
Jefferson County Judge Stevens. OK, you're charged with this
1:19:25
third degree felony of engaging in organized criminal activity.
1:19:28
It carries with it up to 10 years in prison.
1:19:31
But we have two prior convictions, it states at Harris
1:19:35
County, which would, if true, bump this to up to 20 years in
1:19:39
prison. And if this is true, you are not
1:19:42
eligible for probation in front of a jury.
1:19:45
So that's something to think about.
1:19:50
And why? Why is this thing going?
1:19:56
It was over a year and a half old.
1:19:59
I understand. What's your address?
1:20:03
That's probably the problem. What is your address?
1:20:06
1116 16th St. Well, that's what, when he was
1:20:10
indicted, that was it. In Baytown?
1:20:12
Yes, Sir. This this was indicted in June
1:20:17
of 24. When did you get arrested?
1:20:20
You remember. October of 2024 What?
1:20:25
OK, what's? Taking so long.
1:20:27
There's a period of time he was in Chambers County Jail in 2025.
1:20:32
And. Then he's had multiple bond
1:20:34
appearances where. At.
1:20:37
Least at the first call he wasn't fear and his bond kept
1:20:40
getting increased. I see there was another attorney
1:20:47
before that, Mister Turk just Brent.
1:20:53
And while he gag around, he moves along.
1:20:58
I guess you have a drug patch, is that right?
1:21:01
Let me see. Right up there.
1:21:04
And more that looks like it's been through.
1:21:12
OK. I.
1:21:15
Guess it's in an announcement. Yes, Sir.
1:21:17
At this point, I guess we're still working on it.
1:21:20
No. Judge, we're going to ask the
1:21:21
court to. Squid, but I'll try docket.
1:21:24
OK. That's what you want, Trial.
1:21:26
OK. Then you're going to get a trial
1:21:29
and that's what you get. We'll put this state can be
1:21:33
ready pretty soon. Yes, Sir.
1:21:35
Thank you. Then we're going to move it
1:21:38
fast. Let's see.
1:21:43
I got cruise. Forward.
1:22:27
In Marquis Cruz. OK.
1:22:43
There's a notion to revoke probation It's been filed and
1:22:51
religious possession of dangerous drugs, unlawful
1:22:55
carrying of a weapon that's been misspelled it's unlawful care.
1:23:02
Unlawful caring is kind of a unique spelling.
1:23:07
We got to redo what we'll correct that very unique
1:23:10
individual any objection. I mean, it's obvious what we've
1:23:16
been caring. I, I I'll correct it OK, without
1:23:19
objection to the grammatical into.
1:23:22
The spelling, yeah. I'm not looking at, I'm looking.
1:23:31
At something else I got 6. Things going on one time.
1:23:39
And let's see, failing to avoid persons disreputable or harmful
1:23:46
character. And then there's a person named
1:23:49
there. I've always well, it's avoiding
1:23:56
persons or places of disreputable of a harmful
1:23:59
character. And then there's a person that's
1:24:01
a second person's name, which. I.
1:24:03
I never call out, but I'm sure that second person finds it
1:24:07
interesting that they're. Being.
1:24:09
Referred to in with that adjective.
1:24:12
I think I know because. The person.
1:24:14
Is all probation. Yeah, yeah, whatever.
1:24:17
But it's, it's not used as a term of respect here the way
1:24:27
it's being no, I, I understand this is when they're involved in
1:24:30
in something is he's, he was on probation or.
1:24:33
Currently on time. Then let's see then you
1:24:38
illegally possess the drug. It's in December failed to
1:24:42
abstain from the use of intoxicating substances.
1:24:46
There's five violations here. You are on.
1:24:51
Five years deferred unadjubicated probation for the
1:24:54
a third degree felony of evading arrest, or didn't.
1:24:57
Actually attempted, you should say.
1:24:59
A felony of attempted. Does this say attempted on
1:25:01
there? Well, it's not all kinds of
1:25:03
mistakes. There and that's.
1:25:14
Yeah, he's on WE. Just saw that this morning.
1:25:16
I didn't say it was Bill. It is a state jail felony.
1:25:19
According to the order. Yes.
1:25:26
Let me see what. The name of the crime is now
1:25:29
attempted. I.
1:25:31
Think there's a? 1st.
1:25:32
Amended coming down the Pike, Judge.
1:25:33
So we can. Probably correct it all on the
1:25:35
first amended. I'll try to get it all first
1:25:36
attempted. OK, That has the motion to
1:26:15
revoke unadjudicated probation has been corrected to state that
1:26:22
he was placed on probation in 2022 for the state jail felony,
1:26:29
not the third degree felony of attempted evading arrest or
1:26:33
detention with a vehicle. It was indicted for a third
1:26:40
degree felony of abating arrest and then it was disposed of by
1:26:44
the lesser included offense of attempted.
1:26:49
So we know where things are and when can we have a hearing on
1:26:56
this? Three weeks, 2 weeks, there is a
1:27:02
I'm thinking is there a first amended that you've got
1:27:05
administrative hearing? I just have a no administrative
1:27:07
hearing on a first amended that hasn't just got.
1:27:10
Just got signed. Wasn't attempted, no.
1:27:40
OK. We're about April 30.
1:27:44
That's. He's got another unlawful
1:27:53
carrying of a weapon charge coming in addition to what's
1:27:58
alleged in #2 it says unlawful carrying of a weapon on or about
1:28:02
April 30th, 25. That's a separate then commit
1:28:07
the offense of illegal possession of drugs on or about
1:28:11
April 30th, which is not included in this.
1:28:17
So these are two additional allegations that are going to
1:28:21
be. Placed.
1:28:22
Into this motion to revoke probation.
1:28:28
How's that coming along as we? Know.
1:28:39
Well, we've got the the administrator on February 18th,
1:28:43
So that's the other day. Yeah, we'll have it.
1:28:45
We'll have it done within the next week or two, Judge, so if
1:28:48
you. Give.
1:28:49
Us about four weeks. That way they can.
1:28:52
Have come to look it over and decide what we're going to do
1:28:54
with it I mean if not we can have it here that would good for
1:29:01
you that's fine but I I would request a bond.
1:29:03
My client is on the bird probation so.
1:29:05
Have a little. Bond so we request that Thank
1:29:12
you. OK, So what we have here is a
1:29:17
motion to revoke probation that was originally filed on January
1:29:21
8th. Of two. 1016 and it alleges,
1:29:28
among other things, illegal possession of a dangerous drug
1:29:32
and carrying a weapon, unlawfully carrying a weapon as
1:29:37
well as illegally possessing drugs.
1:29:50
Also you're providing urine sample on November of last year
1:29:59
showing oxycodone so and the other is a failing to avoid
1:30:07
disreputable people by being split with someone.
1:30:13
Who? Was on probation, but it's the
1:30:15
other 4 violations of law that are criminal law that are more
1:30:20
concerned concerning unlawfully carrying a weapon and drug use,
1:30:24
illegal drug use. So that comes along and so
1:30:31
that's filed on January 8th. And then like what we have or
1:31:04
first admitted administrative hearing which alleges that he
1:31:09
committed another unlawfully carrying of a weapon subsequent
1:31:14
to the allegation #2 in the amendment in the original motion
1:31:22
to revoke probation. Actually one.
1:31:28
So just like four months later, he's charged yet?
1:31:35
He. Can he commits?
1:31:36
The offense of unlawful carrying weapon and also a legal
1:31:39
possession of marijuana and the court signed this administrative
1:31:54
hearing on February 18th. So a first amended motion to
1:31:59
revoke probation is coming down the Pike.
1:32:02
Yes. Sir.
1:32:04
Yeah, but. Please post.
1:33:26
Post. While we're waiting for Judge
1:34:17
Stevens to speak words, Barbara, thank you for gifting me.
1:34:22
Oh. Now you're talking.
1:34:23
All right, now you're on mute. Thank you for gifting 5
1:34:25
memberships. Very much appreciate that.
1:34:27
By the way, Barbara, keep an eye on your e-mail.
1:34:30
It'd probably be later today, but I got something I'm going to
1:34:32
send you, so just keep an eye out.
1:34:35
But. Then what we did was.
1:34:38
There were some sanctions where he went testing positive drugs
1:34:43
and then we put him in jail. At an administrative hearing,
1:34:54
they did 1223 and that resulted in this motion to revoke
1:35:03
probation files being filed on January 8th.
1:35:11
Thereafter, another administrative hearing comes
1:35:14
along where we have some some acts on April 30th that were not
1:35:25
taken into account in the first motion, some reason.
1:35:43
And so that is that's been signed and the District
1:35:49
attorney's office is preparing something forthcoming which will
1:35:53
add another unlawfully carrying of weapon, which will be a
1:35:57
second similar allegation of wrongdoing to the original
1:36:02
motion report probation and then another allegation of illegal
1:36:07
drug usage. We.
1:36:13
Have a more drug batch at the time did.
1:36:21
So you're asking for a bonds, OK, it's a response from mistake
1:36:28
anything. Judge if he gets.
1:36:30
One, it needs to be high because he's committing new crimes while
1:36:32
he's out on bond. Now, he's entitled to under the
1:36:36
deferred probation, but it should be something to reflect
1:36:39
that he just he's. Not getting it our.
1:36:42
Response to your honor is that we have affidavits from the Co
1:36:45
defendants in this case that that they had the drug and he
1:36:48
did not know about the drugs that obviously would negate the
1:36:51
weapon as well. They weren't found on my client
1:36:54
actually, so and that's. Part of what we would be.
1:36:57
Proving out that it'd be hearing that this was not found on him
1:37:02
and they were the. Co Defendants.
1:37:04
Drugs. Which?
1:37:06
Also would also take care of the gun charges where the Co depend.
1:37:09
Where's the Co depend? Where is it going to be?
1:37:11
Where are code? Where are the code offends?
1:37:13
So they here not here today? Today was just a bond hearing.
1:37:16
Yeah, I mean for the well, I'm trying.
1:37:17
To be hearing they're. Going to be here to.
1:37:19
Testify. Yeah, OK.
1:37:22
I can hardly wait to see that. I can't.
1:37:24
That might be interesting. That's OK though.
1:37:27
But right now the the allegations and the information
1:37:34
I have were his problems. Yeah, his bond's $150,000 plus a
1:37:39
drug patch. You have to have a drug patch.
1:37:43
When can we have this hearing? Soon.
1:37:45
I said to the state. I can have it.
1:37:47
We can do it in four. Weeks that way I have.
1:37:49
Time to make sure the new one gets filed and they have time to
1:37:51
talk. About It 4.
1:37:51
Weeks. OK, Anything.
1:37:59
Else. I I have this.
1:38:04
But I haven't heard any. Yes, they.
1:38:08

1:39:45
Yes, Sir. Like I always say, back in
1:39:48
Abraham Lincoln's days, you didn't need a high school
1:39:51
diploma. Now you you don't have one.
1:39:53
You're done, right? So you go out in the hallway.
1:39:56
We'll talk. You talk to the prosecutor.
1:39:58
Yes, Sir. And then either way, after you
1:40:00

1:40:59
Yeah. I see this duplicate ticket
1:41:01
dismissed motion. The prosecutor, apparently it
1:41:03
was issued twice in there. So I'll go ahead and issue or

1:41:13

1:42:05
I talked to my police. Officer about it yesterday just
1:42:08
to see if it would be OK, she said.
1:42:10
You didn't really like that. But I, well, I don't like it
1:42:12
when I'm contemplating whether I should put somebody in jail or
1:42:15
not. I.
1:42:16
Understand, but I I really didn't.
1:42:17
I'm just telling you this is what I see happen.
1:42:20
OK, People who have problems don't go to jail, tend to bring
1:42:28
infant or toddlers. It's not all.
1:42:33
If you have to come here on all these other occasions without
1:42:36
your child or with your child before, I don't remember you
1:42:40
bringing this child in. Wife came in with me with her,
1:42:43

Excuse me? March 18th at 9:00.

1:43:38
it out. And honestly, am I going to send
1:43:40

1:43:42
I doubt it. I don't know though.
1:43:44
I don't know though. But I'm but I can't conduct

I also have a question, Jessica. She told me to sign up for the
1:44:00
positive strategy. Yeah.

No, I, I. Did do it, but.
1:44:06
Some things that came up, which is not an excuse.
1:44:08
The things that came. Up or I couldn't.
1:44:10
I placed you on probation. March Stewart 13th of 25.
1:44:14
This is March the 4th of 26th. That means that's 300.
1:44:19
Let's see, that's 354 days ago. It has an 8 week follow up
1:44:25
component to I don't know why you haven't done it yet.
1:44:29
I don't want to talk about it. I'm adjourning this to March
1:44:31
18th. I would get in the program if I
1:44:33
was you. Well, you should have.
1:44:36
This should have been done with that by March of last or April
1:44:40
of last. I mean I don't, I don't have to
1:44:44
tell you do it by a certain date.
1:44:46

1:45:31
Paid him Dodge. Yeah, I know.
1:45:33
And he's got me dismissing them now.
1:45:37
So how do how do you want me to handle it, Heather?
1:45:41
Do you want me to? Excuse me Judge, do you want me
1:45:43
to pull the closed ones? Here's what I want you to do.
1:45:47
I'm going to take this plead impeding on this.
1:45:49
I'm going to dismiss the suspend.
1:45:51
He also wants to dismiss the no proof of insurance and
1:45:54
distracted drug. I'll do that.
1:45:59
I'm going to dismiss those from here.
1:46:02
We're going to refund any money that we owe her.
1:46:05
You already paid those, yes? I'm sorry, I can take.
1:46:09
That's OK. How much did she pay Heather?
1:46:12
I'm she paid on the no insurance. 1. 85 and on the
1:46:18
distracted driving she paid 155 all.
1:46:22
Right. Here's what I'm doing.
1:46:23
I'm going to take your plea and we'll go from there, OK?
1:46:26
You're going to plead the impeding traffic that zero
1:46:28
points won't go on your record and then I'm going to dismiss
1:46:30
the suspend distracted driving and no proof of insurance.
1:46:33
That's your understanding and you understand impeding traffic
1:46:37
is a 0 point civil infraction to that charge of impeding traffic.
1:46:41
How do you plead? Responsible or not responsible
1:46:44
is accepted. 180 is your total. Go ahead and dismiss Heather.
1:46:48
The suspend the distracted driving the no proof of
1:46:53
insurance. So I want to make sure I write
1:46:55
all that down. Dismiss no proof of insurance
1:47:03
distracted driving and suspend charge.
1:47:10
OK and I'm going to charge 180 so we're going to refund all
1:47:13
that money. All right Heather so you should
1:47:17
over it sounds like to me 160 but they're going to have to
1:47:20
send you a check. OK, you should maybe you should
1:47:22
go to law school after that. I'll.
1:47:24
Take you into consideration. Have a good day.
1:47:27
Good luck to you. Wish you well.

1:48:09
That's what you. Said that's what you thought.
1:48:10
Well, OK, who's? Selling misunderstanding that.
1:48:12
Wait a minute. Are you selling that?
1:48:14
Yeah. Woodhaven City Attorney will
1:48:17
take you to, but we're going to give you a lawyer.
1:48:19
All right, Thank you. So give the parent lawyer and
1:48:24

1:48:26
All right, go right out in the hallway.
1:48:27
He'll set you up. Well, shucky, just keep that
1:48:37
yeah, although the family or. Shucky gave that too.
1:48:52
People Against the Law. Felician Cosby, 24 B 147119.
1:49:03
All right, your name all right, so so I read you the the notes I
1:49:11
have This is written by probation on February 27th.
1:49:18
Tenant is compliant. Community service hours are
1:49:20
completed, balance including bill.
1:49:23
Probation department just came in.
1:49:26
It said that the victim reached out to the probation officer
1:49:30
asserting claims that you violated the no contact
1:49:33
provision by having somebody contact you through a great
1:49:36
party, the office, the police. The probation officer asked for
1:49:41
proof and answered this morning. No proof is going to receive it.
1:49:47
Probation officer told victim to appear for prosecutor review
1:49:51
with proof of claims. So this was scheduled for 9:00
1:49:58
and I don't believe Mr. Mr. Cole is here.
1:50:01
Is he? I, I just, I'm asking you, have
1:50:05
you seen your your. No, and I don't want to.
1:50:08
All right, OK, but no, I've got. I've not downloaded.
1:50:13
Reach you right again. You sound me swear affirmative
1:50:15
penalties occurred would be the testimony you've given these
1:50:17
proceedings be the whole true self you got, Yes.
1:50:20
All right, since you were in court on June 18th at 25, have
1:50:24
you? Let me see you were in front of
1:50:28
me on one pro probation violation.
1:50:30
But you don't. You haven't been convicted of
1:50:32
any crimes since then, have you? No.
1:50:35
Any. Do you have any other charges
1:50:36
pending? Other than that, no.
1:50:38
I'm not criminal. Settle down.
1:50:41
It's good. Yeah.
1:50:43
I'm not the end. Yeah.
1:50:46
If you had any contact with the police for any reason, no
1:50:52
prosecutor sent this in. Some days this job is just
1:51:03
overwhelmingly fun, you know that?
1:51:06
I would want to be your do your job.
1:51:08
I'm dismissing your case. Prosecutor for the record says
1:51:12
prosecutor moves to dismiss is is compliant for probation
1:51:16
department. However notes the allegations of
1:51:19
third party contact. If if proof can be provided by
1:51:24
the victim then leaves it to instruction of the court.
1:51:27
He's not here. I was told that they just called
1:51:30
yesterday or the day before. I'm dismissing the case.
1:51:33
Congratulations. That's the luck to do.
1:51:36
Now. And he does.
1:51:37
All this Yeah, you got to cancel all the bond conditions.
1:51:40
By the way, Heather, although I think I.
1:51:43
Get my fingerprints back and all that you.
1:51:45
Can on A771 case can not. So this just will remain
1:51:52
dismissed, but it's still going to be on your record just as a
1:51:58
plea conviction and then dismissed.
1:52:05
It's not it's I'm just telling you the way it works, the
1:52:08
conviction that the lien is going to show you pled and then
1:52:13
ultimately the case was just still remains on your lien.
1:52:17
So you can't do this 47 times. So the police at least they have
1:52:21
ability to you can fight with the legislature, call your
1:52:24
lawyer, do whatever you want. I'm just telling you the way it
1:52:27
is. Well.
1:52:28
That's not what I was under the. Case is dismissed though, ma'am,
1:52:32
it's no but. I, I I I value my record.
1:52:35
All right, here's Cosby again. I don't know why everybody's so
1:52:39
uptight today. All I know is I don't get paid
1:52:41
enough to argue with people. I don't write these rules.
1:52:44
I just know what they are. You asked the question.
1:52:47
I gave you my best answer. Ma'am, The case is dismissed.
1:52:53
It's it's dismissed. If anybody looks, they're still
1:52:56
going to see that it's dismissed.
1:52:59
Yeah. Thank you.

1:55:45
So as Brad just pointed out in the chat, he says Judge
1:55:49
Fleischer's back. I have Judge Fleischer's feed
1:55:52
pulled up at the moment. He's not on the bench.
1:55:55
He's kind of been in and out of things the last month or so.
1:55:59
Sometimes he shows up, sometimes he doesn't.
1:56:02
And from what I've seen, it's not what it used to be, but I've
1:56:06
been keeping an eye on it. And if it's appropriate, at some
1:56:08
point we will go there. But what we will do for now,
1:56:12
let's go to let's go to Judge Mom haven't been there yet
1:56:17
today. All right, thank you.
1:56:21
And Council, we had proceeded, we were proceeding with the
1:56:27
pretrial and there needed to be a correction made to the plea
1:56:31
form on 26199. Yes, OK.
1:56:34
The pre plea form has been amended.
1:56:36
And hopefully it is now alliance with.
1:56:41
What I placed on the record. Yes.
1:56:43
Clients prepared to be guilty on count of case #26-19. 9 to be
1:56:49
pleaded. Guilty to possession and
1:56:52
controlled substance addition that would be considered would
1:56:55
be. Taken.
1:56:55
Under vicement, under the Ordinance 5501, I believe, as
1:57:01
well as guilty to the second charge is consecutive
1:57:04
paraphernalia and there's a global resolution.
1:57:08
Ace. 26-224 would be discussed. All right, Sir, please raise
1:57:14
your right hand. Do you sound me swear or from
1:57:16
the testimony you're about to give in this matter, be the
1:57:18
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
1:57:20
Yes, your Honor. All right.
1:57:23
And so that was placed on the record.
1:57:25
Correct. Yes, Your Honor.
1:57:30
As to the charges of possession of controlled substance and
1:57:34
possession of drug paraphernalia on 26199, how do you plea?
1:57:40
Guilty, Your Honor. You've gone over your advice of
1:57:43
rights with your attorney, correct?
1:57:45
And you? Understand all of those rights.
1:57:50
Yes, I do. You also understand the possible
1:57:53
penalty as a result of your plea, whether in this court, any
1:57:56
other court or administrative agency.
1:58:02
You also understand what the 155.001 status is, correct?
1:58:10
Under your advisement. Yes, you understand what that
1:58:12
is. Yes, get around.
1:58:14
It OK, knowing all of that, do you want to continue with your
1:58:17
plea? Your Honor all.
1:58:19
Right. Has anybody promised you
1:58:21
anything, threatened you or coerced you in any way for you
1:58:23
to enter into a plea? No, you're not.
1:58:27
And any immigration issues? No, you're not.
1:58:35
OK. And Councilor, can you please
1:58:42
proceed with guard year? Yes, not very well.
1:58:46
Mr. Sam, do you? Recall being the city of
1:58:48
Wyandotte or about the 13th February, what would be last
1:58:51
month. Yes.
1:58:54
And at that time you were passenger in a vehicle.
1:58:57
Operated by a Tracy. Anderson, do you remember that?
1:59:01
Yes, and. And Miss Anderson.
1:59:04
Had an interaction with the police officer and she was
1:59:07
pulled over. Apparently they had all some
1:59:10
disturbance at your home and the viewer, the vehicle with Miss
1:59:13
Anderson that night, Right and her home.
1:59:18
Yeah. And during the officers
1:59:21
interaction. With you and.
1:59:23
Miss Anderson with determinate that within your protective
1:59:27
control, there was a small amount of will appear to crack
1:59:31
cocaine as well as a class pipe with Shoreboy, which is
1:59:35
typically used in the consumption of such drugs as
1:59:40
crack. Is that true?
1:59:43
Yeah, and. The plea that we've been went
1:59:46
into. You today I've advised you,
1:59:48
correct, I advised you that you don't have to plead to.
1:59:51
Anything you have a rightful. Trial but other rights you're
1:59:54
aware of that correct yes I mean and also we have the right to
1:59:57
obtain discovery the court of communities but prosecution
2:00:00
would be obligated to provide video and any other evidence
2:00:04
they might have against you we did not do that you understand
2:00:07
that people yes OK and you're you're prepared to proceed in
2:00:13
spite of the fact of being due you did not avail ourselves of
2:00:16
that opportunity correct All right I'm satisfied the.
2:00:23
Court is also satisfied the plea is knowing volunteering
2:00:26
factually after the court looks plea to the charges, the court
2:00:32
will also dismiss counts or 26224 for the plea agreement.
2:00:38
And Sir, just for clarification and council, the other
2:00:41
individual that was present was Keith Campbell.
2:00:45
That was the other gentleman that was there.
2:00:47
And apparently according to the police report, you got punched
2:00:49
in the face and and all sorts of stuff.
2:00:51
So let me just let me just state this, OK?
2:00:58
You should be careful who you're associating with, all right?
2:01:05
Because fortunately for Mr. Campbell, he was only charged
2:01:10
with possession. I'm not sure exactly because.
2:01:14
It. Appears as though he punched you
2:01:15
in the face and then he and Miss Anderson had your car.
2:01:18
I don't know what happened but. It was.
2:01:20
It was meant your. Honor and he tried hurting her
2:01:23
physically. Almost.
2:01:24
Tell there was a piece of Smith that lived by her head.
2:01:28
I I never been involved. OK, let me also caution you as
2:01:35
well. Sometimes right individuals take
2:01:40
advantage of another individual's kindness or what
2:01:47
have you sympathy. And there are times when people
2:01:50
stage situations which would appear as though they need help
2:01:55
and assistance. And then once you start to
2:01:59
exhibit your kindness or the other individual would exhibit
2:02:02
their kindness, then they're taken advantage of and then
2:02:07
things of that nature. So you really need to take that
2:02:09
into consideration sort of moving forward.
2:02:11
Thank. You, Your honor.
2:02:14
All right, the court's going to order bond and conditions are
2:02:16
continued. You'll get your sentencing date
2:02:18
from probation. Sir, if you were to test right
2:02:22
now what is in your system, All right, soccer probation,
2:02:30
somebody will be with you shortly.
2:02:33
Thank you. Thank you.
2:02:34
Have a good day. OK, friends, it's been a minute.
2:02:43
Judge Fletcher now note he no longer has a camera that points
2:02:48
to the the rest of the courtroom.
2:02:51
And this is in real time. We don't rewind or anything like
2:02:54
that with them. So let's see what's going on.
2:02:59
I, I don't know, I just. The.
2:03:01
Progress. Of his findings is to explain
2:03:03
the. Procedural impact of the.
2:03:05
Dismissal work which is none but the problem is that an outside
2:03:11
court looking. At the distance, but we're
2:03:12
doing. Things that it has a lot to do
2:03:14
with all the proceedings all tied together we.
2:03:17
Know that it's. Just in paper, just in case.
2:03:19
But I don't. Like that, it looks like a fine
2:03:21
thing already. I think that we definitely take,
2:03:34
we got to take the third one out 100% and then on the other two,
2:03:41
I don't know, I, I need to, I don't know what kind of impact
2:03:44
it'll have on, on me, if any. So, you know, I've reached out
2:03:50
to my staff lawyer. I have not gotten a hold of him.
2:03:53
I need to talk with him more. He will be.
2:03:55
In jail for a long time, I'm sure.
2:03:56
Sure. Still on the.
2:03:58
Phone. I guess I can come.
2:03:59
Back in a month. No, no, a week and and I'll send
2:04:02
it to him now, but I'm definitely going to take that
2:04:05
one out. And then I just went to CYA for
2:04:09
me can. I e-file an amended.
2:04:11
Version that? Sure.
2:04:12
Yes, I was not. Been.
2:04:20
I mean, you can whatever you want, OK.
2:04:23
And then we can always amend it, I guess.
2:04:24
Yeah, OK. I just I do.
2:04:26
Want to say to the state at its description, it is miss a case
2:04:30
for everything. Sure.
2:04:32
I was going to take that note as well right now.
2:04:34
Yeah, of course, before we read. Those things, yeah.
2:04:37
All right, right. Of course.
2:04:39
OK, so. That's on that one.
2:04:41
I actually have another one, so it's file related.
2:04:44
OK, thank you. But separate file.
2:04:46
This is on Arsenal. Just the last name, please.
2:04:52
The it's on the child back of today.
2:04:54
No, no, it's what's your cost number?
2:04:58
The cost number. Is 2/5. 9. 90. 59 I think that
2:05:04
there is. Still some evidence.
2:05:05
Missing out when I just make it a regular.
2:05:13
There are two things missing. That's a problem because we are
2:05:16
set for trial and you're still missing evidence.
2:05:18
How did it get set? Well, we're missing.
2:05:21
Good question. I can solve it.
2:05:23
OK. In the body cams and the
2:05:27
documents machine on the offense, the arresting officer
2:05:31
mentions and says that he reviews other body Cam footage
2:05:35
in making his report. I wanted to see the other body
2:05:38
Cam, so I didn't know it existed because it was only together, so
2:05:41
the additional body Cam condition were different.
2:05:44
There's that do. They.
2:05:45
Have that, do they? You know if they have that.
2:05:49
Because the guy had to look at it and I was just made aware of
2:05:52
it. I'm going to reach.
2:05:53
Out to our. Admin and see if we can get that
2:05:56
I. Mean the case isn't at all.
2:05:58
Right. We thought that all of the
2:06:00
evidence was saying because there were lots of body cams in
2:06:02
the body, but not one of them was from the higher incident.
2:06:12
Apparently you're on in the office I'm.
2:06:14
OK, it's not an old case, right? Right.
2:06:16
Then. OK, I'm I don't have a problem
2:06:18
with them. Of course.
2:06:19
Yeah. And I don't care what they want.
2:06:21
I mean, the case is only what, like, yeah, it's not even a
2:06:26
month, right? What?
2:06:28
Are you today? Because it's not, but it's OK.
2:06:35
Hi, Corey. And.
2:06:37
Everything is in order. Just last name please.
2:06:43
OK. This also recently filed.
2:06:50
We got an intern kind of a short reset.
2:06:53
I believe I. Remember which case?
2:06:54
Yes, yes. I'd like to ask the court again
2:06:57
to see if we amend the law conditions and the the my
2:07:04
client's wife, the Mother, Mother of appointment sends a
2:07:09
letter to the district attorney's office through me
2:07:13
explaining how my client is needed in the home for parenting
2:07:19
and. The order of the.
2:07:20
House and for her employment and to also help my client's wife.
2:07:25
She has a lot of medical issues, autoimmune disorders.
2:07:29
She's having recent surgeries. My client has also completed the
2:07:34
parenting class that was ordered by the magistrate CPS has ruled
2:07:38
out. That makes that CPS has like,
2:07:44
you know what I was thinking and because I was thinking about
2:07:46
this a while ago, can I appoint an ad litem for the child?
2:07:53
Because I think that that's probably in the best interest of
2:07:59
the child, considering what the nature of the allegations, you
2:08:02
know, what they are to ensure I'm OK, but I want to ensure
2:08:07
that the child is OK, no issues if should any issues arise, that
2:08:15
the child knows how to get a hold of someone.
2:08:18
And so they can just, you know, So what I'd like to do is a
2:08:23
point and I'd lie and I just don't know how to do that
2:08:26
because it's it's a first for here and in family court just
2:08:30
all day, right. So can you, can you let me thin
2:08:33
out the line and then let me call And just one other case on.
2:08:37
OK, Sure. Mr. Iowa in jail or in bond?
2:08:44
Bond. It is fitting what?
2:08:47
Was the last name. Google ARA.
2:08:50
I don't see that. Is it on your?
2:09:01
OK. Hey, Owen.
2:09:05
Just select. OK, friends.
2:09:07
So I wanted to show a little bit of him just so everybody could
2:09:10
be on the same page, because every now and then somebody
2:09:12
comes in and says, hey, Fleischer's back.
2:09:16
Now this, this is this is Fleischer Light.
2:09:20
Just one calorie. Not quite the same.
2:09:25
It's it's not, it's not as good when you can't see what else is
2:09:28
going on. Now that I haven't been said,
2:09:31
we'll, we'll keep an eye on it and when it's appropriate we'll
2:09:35
go there. But this is no longer a daily
2:09:39
driver for any channel in my opinion, Certainly not this one
2:09:43
when we cover so many different courts.
2:09:47
I'm just not as intrigued by Fleischer Lite.
2:09:50

2:19:03

2:19:36
talk to the people. With Miss Johnson, Miss Johnson
2:19:57
station and for the record for the Judge Paula Johnson.
2:19:59
Thank you. By before we have plea formed
2:20:03
that indicates that the defendant will be pleading to
2:20:06
retail fraud second degree the one year offense upon her
2:20:11
pleading guilty upon her successful plea to that charge
2:20:15
which is I think as charged right.
2:20:18
The defendant agrees to pay restitution in the amount of
2:20:21
$1039.41 and also there's a second sentence recommendation
2:20:29
prosecutors deferred with the payment of prostitution.
2:20:32
That's the courts full to understand.
2:20:33
That's correct, John. That's correct, Judge.
2:20:36
May I have her swore. Yes.
2:20:39
Raise your right hand. Do you saw me swear and affirm
2:20:42
to tell the chief? You finally swear.
2:20:46
That's when you're about to give the court the whole truth.
2:20:50
Yes, state your name for the record.
2:20:52
Paula Johnson. All right.
2:20:54
Miss Johnson, is this court to understand you're going to plead
2:20:56
guilty to the charge of retail fraud, second degree.
2:20:59
That is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year incarceration,
2:21:02
a $2000 fine plus court cost. The fine could be increased at
2:21:05
three times the value of the property taken.
2:21:07
If that's greater than $2000, that would become the maximum
2:21:10
fine. Do you understand that?
2:21:12
Yes, Sir. Still wish to plead guilty?
2:21:14
Yes, Sir. And to that charge, how do you
2:21:16
plead? Guilty.
2:21:18
Do you understand it? By pleading guilty, you will not
2:21:20
have a trial of any kind. Yes, Sir.
2:21:22
All right. You signed an advisive rights
2:21:23
form, is that correct? Any question regarding any of
2:21:26
those rights? Yes, Sir.
2:21:27
Look at paragraph 5 on that form.
2:21:29
You'll see a copy on the podium. Those are your rights, which are
2:21:31
part of a trial. You.
2:21:33
Understand that by pleading guilty, you'll be giving up
2:21:35
those rights as well as all the rights on that form.
2:21:38
Yes, Sir, if you. Understand you're giving up your
2:21:39
right to appeal of right? Yes, Sir.
2:21:42
Are you on probation or parole? No, Sir.
2:21:44
Has anybody promised you anything other than what's been
2:21:46
stated here today on the record to get you to plead?
2:21:48
No, Sir. Anybody threaten you or
2:21:50
coercion? No.
2:21:51
You're doing this voluntarily? Yes.
2:21:54
Of your own free will, Yes. And.
2:21:55
Because you believe that you're guilty of this offense?
2:21:57
Yes, on the date or between the dates of May 22nd, 2024 and
2:22:03
August 4th, 2024 at the location of the Walmart, which I think is
2:22:09
7000 E Michigan Ave. in Pittsfield Township, Washtenaw
2:22:13
County, State of Michigan. What'd you do?
2:22:15
I went in there and I took some things that did belong to me.
2:22:19
OK. And on these various dates, you
2:22:22
walk out of the store without paying for them?
2:22:24
Yes, Sir. When?
2:22:25
You walked in and did this. Were these items items that were
2:22:29
offered for sale? Yes.
2:22:31
All right. By Walmart.
2:22:32
And you didn't have anybody's permission to take that?
2:22:35
No, Sir. And I think I asked the store
2:22:37
was open to the public. Yes, all.
2:22:38
Right. All right, and the.
2:22:41
Total. Amount of property that you
2:22:44
took, was that in excess of $200?
2:22:49
Yes, I believe, yes. I.
2:22:56
Think we can probably get there with that and or the prior.
2:22:58
So, all right, ma'am, if I accept your plea, I need you to
2:23:03
understand that if you could make misconduct between the time
2:23:06
of my acceptance of your plea and the time of your sentencing,
2:23:09
you would not be entitled to withdraw your plea and the court
2:23:12
would not be bound by any sentence evaluation or
2:23:14
recommendation. You understand that?
2:23:16
Yes, Council, are you aware of any other promises, threats or
2:23:19
other inducements which have led to this plea?
2:23:21
None. From.
2:23:22
People, none from the defense, Ron.
2:23:23
All right. And have I complied with the
2:23:24
court? Yes, Your Honor, the court will
2:23:26
accept the defendant's plea of guilty.
2:23:31
To. Discharge defending is referred
2:23:39
to probation for pre sentence investigation and report.
2:23:43
Sentencing in this matter will be April 8th.
2:23:47
April 8th, 2026 9:00 AM Bond will.
2:23:52
Continue. Thank you SO.
2:23:54
I said I'll pay any restitution today or wait you.
2:23:57
Want to pay restitution today? I can pay some no.

year anniversary. Anyways, back to judge contest.
2:25:31
For you I. Understand.
2:25:32
Sure. This court understanding that
2:25:36
you're pleading no contents to the charge of operating while
2:25:39
I'm talking. Yes.
2:25:40
Sir, that is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in
2:25:43
jail, $500 fine plus court cost. The court could order community
2:25:47
service and any rehabilitated programs to court teams
2:25:49
necessary, could order your vehicle immobilized, could order
2:25:52
your vehicle forfeited, could order you to pay the cost of the
2:25:55
prosecution as well as the cost of any emergency governmental
2:25:58
services. You understand that, Sir?
2:26:01
All right. Do you understand what a no
2:26:04
contest plea is? Yeah, Two things about it.
2:26:07
I have to make sure that you understand.
2:26:09
The first thing is, is that it means that you're not further
2:26:11
desirous or wanted to contest this charge.
2:26:13
You understand that? Yes, Sir. 2nd.
2:26:16
Thing you need to understand is that for purposes of sentencing
2:26:19
the court will treat you the same as though you had plead
2:26:21
guilty. You understand that?
2:26:22
Yes. Yes Sir.
2:26:25
Basis for a no contest plea. A lack of recall.
2:26:28
He was injured in the act, Sir, to that charge, how do you
2:26:33
plead? Guilty.
2:26:34
No. Contest.
2:26:35
Oh no. Contest.
2:26:35
Sorry. You want to plead no contest, is
2:26:38
that correct? You understand it by pleading no
2:26:40
contest, you'll not have a trial of any kind.
2:26:42
Yes, Sir. You signed an advice of rights
2:26:44
form, is that correct? Yep.
2:26:46
Any question regarding any of those rights?
2:26:48
No. Look at paragraph five.
2:26:50
You see one on copy on the podium.
2:26:52
Those are your rights which are part of a trial.
2:26:54
You understand by pleading guilty you'll be giving up those
2:26:56
rights as well as other rights on that form?
2:26:58
Yes, Sir. You understand you're giving up
2:27:00
your right to appeal of right? Yes, Sir.
2:27:02
Are you on probation or parole? Yeah, 15th District Court, he.
2:27:06
Was on Friday. He wasn't at the time.
2:27:08
You were not on probation at the time of this offense?
2:27:11
No. Has anybody promised you
2:27:13
anything other than what's been stated here today to get you to
2:27:15
plead? No.
2:27:16
Anybody threaten you or coerce you?
2:27:18
No. You're doing this voluntarily?
2:27:20
Yes, Sir. Out of your own free will?
2:27:23
Yes, Sir. And because you.
2:27:24
Well, I won't ask that. The court has been handed and
2:27:28
has been provided Michigan Department of State Police
2:27:31
report for their case number 983223.
2:27:36
Any objection to the court reviewing that report?
2:27:39
Not from the people, No, you're not.
2:27:41
Based upon a review of that report, the court does find that
2:27:43
there's a sufficient factual basis in which the court could
2:27:46
determine defendants guilt to this offense.
2:27:49
Sir, I do have to advise you between the time I accept your
2:27:52
plea and the time of sentencing to be commit misconduct is
2:27:54
defined in Michigan Court rules. The court would no longer
2:27:57
rebound by any sentence evaluation or recommendation and
2:28:00
you would not be entitled to withdraw your plea.
2:28:02
You understand that, Sir? Council, are you aware of any
2:28:05

2:28:50
Morning, Ron. Ron, Ron Crane, on behalf of the
2:28:53
state, your name, all right. I have before me a plea form
2:29:06
that indicates that she's going to be pleading to an added count
2:29:09
to a retail fraud in the third degree.
2:29:12
That's a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail, $500
2:29:16
fine plus court cost. But our successful plea to that
2:29:20
charge, Count 1, would be dismissed.
2:29:22
There's also a sentencing agreement to sentence under
2:29:24
Haida. That's the court's full
2:29:25
understanding of the degree. That's correct.
2:29:27
You're on? Yes, you're on.
2:29:29
May I have her sworn? Raise your right hand.
2:29:32
Do. You follow me, swear to you.
2:29:34
Follow me, swear. That's when you brought the
2:29:36
gift. Yes, the.
2:29:37
Truth. The.
2:29:38
Whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God.
2:29:40
Yes. State your name please, Amaria.
2:29:43
Davis All right, ma'am. I just this court's
2:29:45

2:29:48
retail fraud, third degree, that's a misdemeanor punishable
2:29:51
by up to 93 days in jail, $500 fine plus court cost.
2:29:54
Fine could be increased at three times the value of the property
2:29:57
taken. If that's greater than $500,
2:29:59
that would become the maximum fine.
2:30:01
You understand that? Yes.
2:30:03
Yes. All right.

2:37:04
bond. Your honor, she's not on
2:37:06
probation or parole. She's single.
2:37:09
She is working full time for an establishment called Is it
2:37:13
Oakland or Oakland? The Oakland group in Taylor, MI
2:37:17
and what? Do you do there man?
2:37:19
I'm a dire. Center and brain operator.
2:37:21
OK, I'm going to interrupt. I mean this is, you know, it's
2:37:26
cool and all, but it's stuff that we normally see.
2:37:29
But look, we've got about 25 minutes left because I do have
2:37:33
to end at the end of the third hour today.
2:37:36
But if you recall, 2 days ago in Brantley Clark's court, we
2:37:41
watched, I think it was 2 days ago, we watched jury selection
2:37:44
for a little bit. And that was for a trial where
2:37:47
the gentleman was travelling to meet a minor for what I, what I
2:37:54
refer to as reasons, because that's a Safeway to put it.
2:37:57
Well, that trial is going on right now and I can't show you
2:38:01
the whole thing because number one, we don't have time #2
2:38:04
Brantley Clark immediately deletes his streams as soon as
2:38:07
they're done. So it's very hard to capture
2:38:09
what he does. But at the moment they are
2:38:12
showing video from the interrogation of this guy.
2:38:16
It's so it's something different.
2:38:18
So let's go there and watch as much as we can for the rest of
2:38:23
the time, you know? What's going on?
2:38:26
OK, we'll get to it. Obviously you're.
2:38:28
Brought up here in. Handcuffs in a cop car.
2:38:31
So I'm going to let you know your rights.
2:38:32
Have you ever heard of your Miranda rights before?
2:38:34
Yes, yes. OK.
2:38:35
I'm going to go over them again if you have any questions.
2:38:37
Please let me know. I'll answer the best What do you
2:38:41
mean by side of a story? One side of the investigation.
2:38:48
So I've heard what someone has to say about this whole
2:38:52
situation. Now.
2:38:54
I want to hear what you have to say.
2:38:56
And I must see if. Something conflicts or if
2:38:59
there's justification for something.
2:39:02
Before I get to any questions, let me ask you.
2:39:04
Let me advise you of these rights, OK, Sure.
2:39:07
With the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be
2:39:09
used against you in the court of law, and the right to talk to a
2:39:11
lawyer and have him or her present with you while being
2:39:13
questions. We cannot afford to hire a
2:39:16
lawyer won't be appointed to represent you before any
2:39:18
question if you wish. We can decide.
2:39:20
That you need time to exercise these rights and not answer any
2:39:24
questions or making statements. Do you?
2:39:26
Understand those rights? Sure, with.
2:39:27
Those. Rights in mind, are you willing
2:39:28
to speak with me about this investigation?
2:39:30
Sure. I'll sign
2:39:44
that in. Oh, is that noon?
2:39:46
Or. Yeah, it's not.
2:39:46
Noon, I'm going to record this just so when I go back I I
2:39:50
recall your stuff correctly. OK, I don't want to get
2:39:53
something mixed up or something like that.

2:41:13
We already talked about Miranda. Run me through how you ended up
2:41:20
here. I'm reporting the AMI.
2:41:24
You guys cornered me. OK.
2:41:27
What were you doing at AMI? Sitting in my car.
2:41:38
What were you there to, what were you there at EMI for?
2:41:43
Well, there was somebody to be walking out of there that
2:41:46
allegedly was there inside buying, purchasing something,
2:41:51
some things. And, and I was going to take
2:41:59
them to lunch, frankly, and have a little conversation with them
2:42:03
about what in fact it seemingly was that they were up to in
2:42:07
life. With.
2:42:09
No other intention than that. OK.
2:42:14
Well, obviously. That's why we're.
2:42:15
Here right now, OK, I know what's been going on.
2:42:18
I know what's been talked about and stuff.
2:42:21
To start from the the beginning, how this kind of situation came
2:42:26
out, how this played out or how you're here right now, you're
2:42:30
starting here at AMI, you're you're downplaying.
2:42:32
I, I know what's happening. I've heard what's happened.
2:42:36
I have. No, I hadn't.
2:42:37
Well, I had no intention. There's no, there's nothing that
2:42:41
would show that I have any ill will intent at all.
2:42:45
And my intention was as a father.
2:42:48
It's really struck me as odd that that somebody of that age
2:42:52
would be getting involved at all.
2:42:55
And what was what they were getting involved in.
2:42:57
So I, I, my intent was to take him to lunch.
2:42:59
What? Was she involved in it?
2:43:01
Looked like. Was getting involved at a very
2:43:04
young age in in the wrong thing. You know what wrong thing?
2:43:16
Well, I don't. I mean, I don't know what what
2:43:18
to call it really. Sex trade perhaps.
2:43:23
OK. So she was having sex, I.
2:43:25
Don't know or I would hope that she had.
2:43:28
I hope she had wasn't I hope she hadn't.
2:43:31
Where did you meet her originally?
2:43:33
Just on the online. Online is a big place.
2:43:39
The Internet's a. Massive.
2:43:41
No, it is indeed. Yeah.
2:43:43
There's a certain site out there that this was an odd ad that I
2:43:49
kind of look at from time to time just to see what's on there
2:43:54
and just happened to strike up a conversation and, and here we
2:43:59
set. What website?
2:44:03
Skipped the game I think. When did?
2:44:14
When were you on the? Website and come across, she
2:44:17
said. She had an ad.
2:44:19
I believe so. Yeah.
2:44:22
I got 2 days ago. You saw the ad 2 days ago.
2:44:26
When did you reach out to her? Might have been later that day
2:44:31
perhaps. Is this something you like
2:44:34
message with each other on the the website or something or like
2:44:38
no the the phone number. OK, so there's just a phone
2:44:43
number there. That's what you texted the phone
2:44:45
number. That's correct.
2:44:54
What their what their ad look like or say or nothing major,
2:44:59
just just a couple pictures, you know, not nothing inappropriate,
2:45:05
just not just pictures of a person, if they even exist, you
2:45:10
know, and you reached out to her.
2:45:13
What'd she say or how to kind of go from?
2:45:17
There to here. Like what y'all start talking
2:45:19
about or? Frankly, initially.
2:45:23
Told me that the age which set me back.
2:45:28
I was like, Oh my God. What did she say?
2:45:32
Just like, I just want you to know that I'm 15 going on 16,
2:45:37
something like that. Yeah, we'll be 16 soon.
2:45:40
Something like that. Which is, I mean, my God, I have
2:45:46
a 10 year old son that's super young.
2:45:49
Nobody needs to be involved. You said your son.
2:45:52
I thought, I thought Barbara, she was the runaway.
2:45:55
OK. What led you to think that to?
2:45:57
Be that young. And be in that position in life.
2:46:02
To. Fall to try, you know, to fall
2:46:04
into something like that to make money.

the text. Messages and stuff from her so
2:47:55
I'm I. Want to make sure there's
2:47:57
nothing missing or anything out of context or.
2:48:00
Anything that that's. Why we're?
2:48:01
Sitting. Here talking and stuff like that
2:48:03
and she kept, you know, kept kept wanting to wanting me to
2:48:08
say that I wanted to have sex or something and and I wasn't
2:48:12
interested. I said, yes, you're very young.
2:48:19
I mean, I, I, I don't know how I should no here the the paper in
2:48:25
your hand is that. Conversation.
2:48:27
Yes, that's the chat. Logs.
2:48:28
So you begin going through these messages and kind of.
2:48:32
Focusing on and talking about what was said that yes.
2:48:39
So you're you're saying you're concerned about her?
2:48:43
Yeah, and that's why you, you went out of there to see her.
2:48:47
No, I would no. It was going to be your day, am
2:48:49
I? She was getting allegedly
2:48:51
getting something new drink and something, you know, maybe snack
2:48:56
or something, I don't know, candy, I think something like
2:48:58
that, which was kind of an odd thing.
2:49:01
But no, she would have come out. That would have been the first
2:49:05
time I put eyes on any that person and would have said
2:49:11
hello, let's go. How about we go to lunch?
2:49:15
Go to lunch with me and I was going to have a conversation
2:49:17
with her about who need to be doing this.
2:49:20
Get off there. You know, she's her mom's an RN,
2:49:22
although it seems like she's got a pretty stable household rather
2:49:25
than bouncing back and forth in Georgia is what I was what she
2:49:28
said. And now a.
2:49:32
Couple things that the defendant said there, talking about mom
2:49:35
Jasmine's mom being and having a stable house.
2:49:37
Yes, it's inconsistent with the statements about.
2:49:40
Her being a runaway, yeah, it's inconsistent in my opinion.
2:49:44
He also mentioned something about going to lunch at
2:49:46
anywhere. In this entire conversation with
2:49:48
Jasmine. Did he mention going to lunch at
2:49:49
all? No, we didn't.
2:49:51
And then so I just was curious what was going on there that
2:49:54
would bring her to to go to this.
2:49:57
It's it's a it didn't, it just didn't seem like it was right.
2:50:01
So I was going to take her to lunch and give her like 100
2:50:05
bucks to go shopping and tell her to don't, don't get off
2:50:08
there and don't do that. Did you?
2:50:10
Talk to her about like. How that's not right and stuff
2:50:13
or no, not yet. And so we're just going to do it
2:50:16
in person. Yeah, that's what I thought,
2:50:21
because I didn't, you know, there was no time for I.
2:50:24
Got to I got to go get my son. Kind of thing.
2:50:26
So there was no time to be going and having some session or
2:50:31
something like of that nature. And she said that.
2:50:34
Was going to be the first time you've seen her in person or
2:50:37
something Would have, I guess. Did she send any pictures or
2:50:39
anything? It was yeah, yeah.
2:50:42
Did you send any pictures to her?
2:50:44
I think one just to prove that I was a person was like a picture
2:50:48
with my 2 figure stuff or something like that.
2:50:51
That's that's common. Nothing.
2:50:54
Nothing inappropriate either. People ask about verification.
2:50:56
Photos and stuff, right? Just I give it but none.
2:51:02
So I haven't read through all these yet.
2:51:04
But did y'all ever talk? About sex or anything?
2:51:08
No, not necessarily obscene, lewd anything.
2:51:10
No. You ever seen a photos of
2:51:12
anything lewd? No Sir, nothing.
2:51:17
So you're just going to travel to her because you're concerned?
2:51:21
I was just going to meet her wherever she wanted to meet.
2:51:23
Take her to lunch. Take her to lunch.
2:51:25
Have you done that with any other girls?
2:51:27
I'll grow up underage girls. No, I haven't, OK.
2:51:34
I mean, I when she'd mentioned how young she was, it just
2:51:36
struck me like, Oh my God. Yeah, She asked her.
2:51:41
I actually looked on that. Site.
2:51:43
It's not much. You asked her.
2:51:44
Are you? Affiliated.
2:51:45
With law. Enforcement.
2:51:47
Well. Because I don't know, it just
2:51:49
seemed, it seems so out of place.
2:51:51
It seems something's up. You know, something's different.
2:51:54
Now. I want to go back now to the
2:51:58
messages and focus on that part there.
2:52:15
So this top message here at 9:17.
2:52:20
And seven. Incoming messages This message
2:52:23
from the defendant to Jasmine. Says are you?
2:52:28
Are you with or? Attached to law enforcement.
2:52:30
Yes, that's correct. And then I'll kind of.
2:52:31
Move up conversation, but before that is about Jasmine being in
2:52:38
school or not. So this question about being a
2:52:40
tool with law enforcement kind of comes out of the pool.
2:52:42
Yes, that's what I've said. Now your.
2:52:45
Response to that question is. No.
2:52:49
Or you because? If you are, I don't consent at
2:52:51
all. Yes, that's correct.
2:52:54
And that is? Sent at 9:19.
2:52:57
On the 7th, yes. And then is that essentially the
2:53:01
last message that you as Jasmine sent to the defendant for a
2:53:05
little while? Yes, The the next 1234, the next
2:53:13
5 messages are all from the defendant, Yes.
2:53:16
To Jasmine, Yes, and the next message that you send is at
2:53:21
9:40. 1. Yes, so.
2:53:25
From 9:15, I'm sorry, 919 to 941, roughly 20 minutes, Yes.
2:53:34
And in fact the message right before your next response is I
2:53:39
answer that I am not with or affiliated, then you disappear.
2:53:43
Yes. Is it fair?
2:53:46
To say that. During that 20 minutes, he
2:53:48
disengaged with the defendant. Absolutely.
2:53:51
And he? Reached out trying to figure out
2:53:53
where. You were going.
2:53:54
Yes. After knowing he's talking to a
2:53:59
15 year old, yes. So you just asked her to ask
2:54:06
her? I started asking her because it
2:54:20
was. So it's so odd.
2:54:21
It would seem like maybe it was some sort of a, you know, I
2:54:26
don't know, She kept prodding me for, for incriminating answers
2:54:32
on something that wasn't what I was having in mind at anyway,
2:54:36
you know? Yeah.
2:54:38
So I thought this is where she started.
2:54:39
Asking her like where she is, how?
2:54:41
Far. Yeah, Yeah, you don't.
2:54:44
Drive. How would you travel?
2:54:46
How far from here? Park are you?
2:54:47
Where did you go? I answered that I'm not
2:54:51
affiliated. Then you disappear.
2:54:57
That's what you told me. OK.
2:55:02
That's when. That's when she asked the
2:55:03
picture to make sure you're not a cop or something.
2:55:06
I think so. Yeah.
2:55:07
The two fingers. And you sent her a picture.
2:55:09
Let's talk about that a little bit.
2:55:11
Jasmine asked for a picture from the defendant.
2:55:16
Yes. That's correct.
2:55:18
The way she did it, did she send a picture to the defendant
2:55:20
saying hey, send me a picture like this?
2:55:21
Yes, indicating a. Style of photo if you.
2:55:24
Could look in the book and look at stages.
2:55:26
Of its score. And thought, are those the
2:55:32
pictures that were sent to the defendant and then received back
2:55:35
from the defendant? It is.
2:55:36
I'm sure you're stating the four and five in evidence.
2:55:39
Any objection? 4th.
2:55:43
I'll be accepted that you may publish whenever you're ready
2:55:45
this. Is the.
2:55:48
Photograph that was sent to the defendant saying hey, send me a
2:55:51
picture. It looks like this.
2:55:52
Yes, that's correct. This is that same officer.
2:55:54
That was used in the ad, yes. This is the.
2:55:58
Photograph that was switching back to the defendant.
2:56:00
Yes, that's correct. Is it up?
2:56:09
Yourself or someone else knows me.
2:56:11
I took them up two fingers. I don't have the pictures or
2:56:15
anything. Right, right.
2:56:26
You don't want her house address.
2:56:27
Just seeing how close you are to her.
2:56:30
Just I'm conversing, you know what I mean?
2:56:33
And that's when she started talking about the gas station
2:56:35
and stuff. Firehouse.
2:56:44
You say time is running out shortly.
2:56:46
What do you mean by that? I don't know what that meant
2:56:51
without reading. That was on the 7th yesterday
2:56:54
when you all were talking. I think I had to be somewhere.
2:57:11
I. Asked her if she's.
2:57:12
Walked to Frank Brown Park before.
2:57:17
Why'd you ask her that? Let's get an idea where she was
2:57:19
located. OK?
2:57:23
Said she you would walk or you would go right by my.
2:57:26
I was. I was trying to.
2:57:27
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what it was.
2:57:29
A walking path from a development.
2:57:31
AMI. You know, that's kind of odd.
2:57:35
That's not new. Why were you trying to figure
2:57:37
that out? I don't know.
2:57:38
I just noticed the. I guess I'm just curious where
2:57:41
she was located. Proximity.
2:57:47
Seems like she got a little creeped out or something by
2:57:52
that. Looking for you.
2:57:55
Yeah, the fact. That I was right was that was.
2:57:57
That. A little.
2:57:58
Creepy, I mean. I.
2:57:59
Guess it, I guess. When I think.
2:58:01
About it, I suspect it was yeah, especially for a 15 year old
2:58:05
girl. I think this is this is all
2:58:07
before she mentioned that she's, you know, Elizabeth with her mom
2:58:12
and all that stuff. So it's like.
2:58:15
But you knew I've. Been living back in the woods by
2:58:18
OK so it's before you knew everything.
2:58:20
You know she's 15, but you don't know exactly like.
2:58:23
Where she's living, that's. Right.
2:58:24
That's right. Yeah, but she can walk that She
2:58:27
wouldn't give your address. Walk it past the AMI, you know
2:58:30
what I mean? So who knows?
2:58:32
I don't know if you wouldn't been out in the weather.
2:58:39
And she said. At the gas station by her house
2:58:41
so. I would.
2:58:43
I would think she lived in a house.
2:58:44
Not in the. Woods true 9 year olds living in
2:58:48
that wood confirms that right I didn't you know I.
2:58:52
I thought she. Might be a runaway at 1st and
2:58:54
that's that's exactly what my mind was thinking.
2:58:58
Who else would be in? That position, certainly not
2:59:00
somebody with a mother as an RN and living in a house.
2:59:04
And she said when when she was kind of creeped out, you thought
2:59:07
she was. It was about the law enforcement
2:59:10
question at first. That's what I was thinking.
2:59:12
OK. Do you think kind of got?
2:59:14
Scooped or something by I guess and then then she clarified, I
2:59:19
think. Let me ask if she's met anyone
2:59:24
else. She claims she has, like on skip
2:59:30
the games I. Guess I don't.
2:59:31
Know, but I just was like Jesus. And he?
2:59:38
Said, have you tried seeking.com?
2:59:41
What's that? Another site more than dating
2:59:44
site. Much better and safer than
2:59:46
Skippy games. Yeah, that.
2:59:49
Message there. He.
2:59:51
Asked Jasmine if she had ever tried a different website.
2:59:53
Yes, that's correct. And that message he didn't say
2:59:58
anything about. You shouldn't be doing this.
3:00:00
He. Says you should try this other
3:00:01
website, it's better and safer. Yes, he did.
3:00:08
All right, friends, I have to leave it there, but I'm going to
3:00:12
record and we'll capture as much of that as we can.
3:00:15
And if there's an appropriate point to show it in a future
3:00:18
show, we'll do that. But we get to see a different
3:00:21
thing than what we normally see. So I won't say I hope you
3:00:25
enjoyed it because it's kind of a crappy topic in a crappy
3:00:31
situation. These guys never think they're
3:00:33
doing anything wrong. There's always a justification
3:00:36
in their minds and these are just broken, broken people.
3:00:41
But any who we're going to call it for now we'll be back on in
3:00:44
the blind tonight again, 7:00 PM Eastern 4 Pacific.
3:00:48
Please do join us there again. There's a link in the pinch chat
3:00:51
and we'll be back here on this channel tomorrow morning, 9:00
3:00:54
AM Eastern, 6:00 AM Pacific, 1/2 an hour early for channel
3:00:56
members. Our one year anniversary of the
3:00:59
morning show. I cannot believe it's we've been
3:01:02
doing this morning show for a year already and what we're like
3:01:08
15-16 months on the channel now so it's fun.
3:01:12
I hope you guys are enjoying it cuz I know I am.
3:01:14
Anyways, go have yourself a good day, we'll see y'all soon.
3:01:16
Take care, God bless.
