  Good morning everybody, happy Wednesday.

  It's TCF live episode #298 This morning my name is Dan Sole.

  I will guide you through this three hour journey through

  Cortlandia. We will start with Judge
• 0:12
  McNally. Your name, ma'am.
• 0:15
  Good morning. You're charged with stalking.
• 0:18
  They say you stalked the victim near a list of location on
• 0:22
  Montebello near Albert. After being advised not to do
• 0:27
  so. You're charged with that
• 0:30
  Defensive. No.

  Have a seat, Sir, with the offense of the talking.

  And you have the right to a lawyer.

  OK. So you go out in the hallway.

  We'll set you up with the defense lawyer.

  We'll give you the defense attorney.

• 1:37
  Either that or I can arraign you and send you to the prosecutor.

  It's up to you. I can't hear you.

  Period. Anything else out there right
• 2:52
  now, Heather? We do.
• 2:54
  We have, Mr. Vaughn, that one you had coming back for the
• 2:57
  hearing. I just chatted John to put that
• 3:00
  file up. What is it?
• 3:03
  Dwayne Vaughn that hearing filed the Manila envelope.
• 3:06
  Give me one second before you bring them in, will you please?
• 3:10
  Yes. All righty.
• 3:11
  Good morning once again, everybody.
• 3:12
  It is TCF Live Wednesday episode 298.
• 3:17
  Good to have you all here. It looks like Judge is in a
• 3:19
  little bit of a pause mode. Let's move on then.
• 3:24
  We will go to Judge Anselone. Say good morning to her.
• 3:27
  Frye, we're back on the record and file #2025 Dash 22446 FH.
• 3:36
  Mr. Frye with Mr. Wade and Mr. Mccree on behalf of the people.
• 3:40
  So, Mr. Frye, how would you like to proceed today?
• 3:44
  Yeah, sure, Honor. So we do have a plea agreement
• 3:47
  in this case. My clients, he got a different
• 3:51
  phone number, so I wasn't able to reach them before the
• 3:53
  hearing. So he hasn't signed the advice
• 3:54
  of rights, but he's we got one. We got one for him.
• 3:58
  Perfect. So that needs to be signed.
• 4:00
  But the plea agreement in this case, your Honor, is that he
• 4:04
  would count 1 would be dismissed.
• 4:06
  He would plead do the added count 2, which is the
• 4:09
  misdemeanor larceny 200 to $1000 and there would be a sentencing
• 4:17
  agreement to no immediate jail. All right.
• 4:20
  Is that correct, Mr. McCready? Yes, it is.
• 4:23
  OK, so we do that, Mister Wade, and when you're done, sign it,
• 4:32
  OK? So Mr. Wade, you've signed it
• 4:34
  and vice rights and I'm going to receive that back and then I'm
• 4:37
  going to go through them with you on the record, OK?
• 4:41
  OK. All right, all right.
• 4:46
  So, Mr. Wade, I'm going to need you to speak loudly for me.
• 4:49
  Raise your right hand. Do solemnly swear or affirm to
• 4:53
  tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
• 4:56
  I do speak louder. I do.
• 4:58
  OK. Very good.
• 4:59
  Now, Mr. Wade, you've heard the statement of your attorney and
• 5:03
  the prosecuting attorney. Is it your intention today to
• 5:06
  plead guilty, to count to larceny 200 or more but less
• 5:10
  than 1000, which carries a maximum penalty of up to one
• 5:14
  year in jail and or a $2000 fine or three times the value of the
• 5:21
  property stolen, which is ever greater with an agreement that
• 5:24
  would be no upfront jail? Is it your intention to plead
• 5:27
  guilty to that charge? Sir, you've got a speaker.
• 5:30
  Yes, ma'am. You kind of almost got to like
• 5:32
  some people are soft spoken, attorneys are not soft spoken.
• 5:35
  So you kind of got to yell it for me.
• 5:36
  All right? Our courthouse is old and the
• 5:38
  recording system is bad. So is it your intention to plead
• 5:40
  guilty to that? Yes, ma'am.
• 5:42
  OK, Now, are you satisfied with Mr. Frye as your attorney and
• 5:46
  the advice that he's given you? Yes.
• 5:49
  OK. And neither the prosecutor, the
• 5:52
  defendant, nor anyone on the defendant's behalf has discussed
• 5:55
  any other possible sentence with the court.
• 5:57
  Is that correct, Mr. McCready? Correct.
• 6:00
  Is that correct, Mr. Fry? Yes, your Honor.
• 6:04
  And Mr. Wade, other than the agreement on the record, no
• 6:06
  one's had a discussion with me about that, is that correct?
• 6:09
  Correct. All right.
• 6:10
  If a guilty plea is accepted, there will be no trial.
• 6:13
  This means that you will be giving up rights you would have
• 6:15
  had at trial. I'm going to explain those
• 6:18
  rights to you now to make sure that you understand them.
• 6:21
  You have a right to a speedy public trial by jury.
• 6:24
  You may ask for a non jury trial and if the prosecutor in court
• 6:27
  agree, you can have a non jury trial.
• 6:30
  You have the right to be presumed innocent until proven
• 6:32
  guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
• 6:34
  You have the right to have the prosecuting attorney prove
• 6:37
  beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty and you do not
• 6:40
  have to prove anything. You have the right to be present
• 6:43
  at trial and have witnesses against you.
• 6:45
  Appear at your trial and ask those witnesses questions.
• 6:48
  You have the right to have the court order any witnesses you
• 6:50
  have for your defense to appear at the trial.
• 6:53
  You have the right to remain silent during your trial and not
• 6:56
  to have your silence used against you.
• 6:59
  However, you also have the right to testify at your trial if you
• 7:02
  want to testify. Do you understand that?
• 7:04
  If you're pleased, accepted, you may be giving up the right to
• 7:07
  appeal issues that would otherwise be appealable if
• 7:10
  you've been convicted at trial, do you understand that?
• 7:13
  Yes, ma'am. Do you understand that any
• 7:15
  appeal from the conviction and sentence pursuant to the plea
• 7:18
  will be by application for leave to appeal and not by right?
• 7:21
  Do you understand that? I'm sorry, can you repeat that?
• 7:25
  Yes, ma'am. OK.
• 7:26
  Do you understand that if your plea is accepted and you engage
• 7:29
  in any misconduct as defined in MCR 6.310 between now and
• 7:35
  sentencing, the court will not be bound by any sentencing
• 7:38
  agreement or evaluation and you will not have a right to
• 7:41
  withdraw your plea. Misconduct is defined to
• 7:44
  include, but is not limited to, absconding or failing to appear
• 7:47
  for sentencing, violating terms of conditions on bond or the
• 7:51
  terms of any sentencing or plea agreement, or otherwise failing
• 7:55
  to comply with an order of the court pending sentence.
• 7:57
  So you understand if you don't trust sentencing or you get
• 8:00
  charged with a new crime that I could put you in jail at
• 8:04
  sentencing because the plea agreement wouldn't be valid
• 8:06
  anymore? Do you understand that?
• 8:08
  Good. If you are not a citizen of the
• 8:10
  United States of America, a conviction of a crime may result
• 8:14
  in deportation. Exclusion from admission to the
• 8:17
  United States of America or to now naturalization.
• 8:20
  Do you have any questions about the rights that I've given to
• 8:23
  you? No, ma'am.
• 8:24
  All right. How do you wish to plead to the
• 8:26
  charge that on or about May 15 of 2025 in the City of Hudson
• 8:31
  and the County of Lenawee that you did commit the offense?
• 8:34
  Larceny 200 or more, but less than 1000, guilty or not guilty?
• 8:39
  All right. And has anyone made any threats
• 8:42
  or promises to you to induce you to plead guilty to this charge?
• 8:45
  Do you understand that if I accept this plea, you will be
• 8:49
  giving up any and all claims That your plea is given as a
• 8:52
  result of promises or threats that were not disclosed in court
• 8:56
  on the record during this hearing?
• 8:57
  That it was not your own choice to enter the plea?
• 9:00
  Do you understand that? Yes, ma'am.
• 9:01
  Is prosecutor defense counsel aware of any promises or threats
• 9:05
  or inducements? Other than the plea.
• 9:08
  Right, so FDOC, I'm going to have to put you in the waiting
• 9:12
  room. So MDOC, I'm going to put you in
• 9:15
  the waiting room and I'll bring you back in in a minute, OK,
• 9:18
  Because I'm getting background noise.
• 9:20
  All right. Has your attorney promised you
• 9:22
  any particular sentence or estimated what your sets will be
• 9:25
  other than the agreement? OK And it's your own choice.
• 9:28
  Plead guilty. OK.
• 9:30
  And I know I went over this. I just don't remember.
• 9:33
  So on May 15 of 2025, you're in the city of Hudson and the
• 9:38
  county of Lenawee. And at that time, did you take a
• 9:43
  Cherokee Arctic Wolf fifth wheel that belonged to Christopher
• 9:48
  Allen Willis? OK.
• 9:50
  Would you agree the value of that property was 200 or more,
• 9:53
  but less than 1000? And did you have permission to
• 9:56
  take it? OK.
• 9:58
  And when you took it, you meant to deprive him of the value of
• 10:00
  it, Correct. Say it louder.
• 10:03
  OK, Good. All right.
• 10:05
  I satisfy Mr. McCready. Yes, Your Honor.
• 10:07
  Thank you. All right.
• 10:09
  Has the court complied with MCRS 6.3, O2, BC and D?
• 10:13
  Mr. McCready. Yes.
• 10:16
  And Mr. or Mr. Frye? Yes, your Honor.
• 10:21
  OK, sorry. I accept the plea.
• 10:24
  It has been given understandably, voluntarily and
• 10:26
  accurately. The defendant has full knowledge
• 10:28
  of his rights. He does have competent counsel.
• 10:30
  Miss Adams. I'll need a notice appearing for
• 10:33
  sentencing. This court has made no agreement
• 10:36
  other than the no upfront jail regarding the possibility of a
• 10:39
  plea or possible sentence in this case with the prosecutor,
• 10:42
  the defense attorney, the defender, or anyone acting in
• 10:44
  the interest of either of them because of the killer agreement.
• 10:47
  I'm going to refer this matter to the District Court probation
• 10:50
  department for pre sentence investigation.
• 10:53
  So this is a misdemeanor. So you'll have to go to District
• 10:56
  Court probation. OK, now I'm going.
• 10:59
  Mr. Fry, are you available July 17 at 8:15 in the morning?
• 11:05
  Yeah, sure, Honor. OK, I'm gonna set this for
• 11:07
  sentencing July 17 at 8:15 in the morning, Mr. Wade.
• 11:12
  Not tomorrow, but next Thursday, which will be June, June 4.
• 11:18
  I need you to report to the District Court probation
• 11:21
  department between 8:00 and 10:00.
• 11:23
  Can you do that? And when you check in, just tell
• 11:25
  him you applied to a misdemeanor and they'll they'll do a pre
• 11:28
  sentence interview with you. OK.
• 11:30
  When you meet with them, be truthful about the events that
• 11:32
  occurred, your background. They'll prepare a report and a
• 11:35
  recommendation. We'll provide a copy to Mr. Fry.
• 11:39
  He'll reach out to you and review that with you.
• 11:41
  Make sure that you if you change your number again or something,
• 11:44
  you keep him updating what your number is all right.
• 11:48
  And do you want to appear in person or via Zoom?
• 11:53
  Zoom would be easier. OK.
• 11:55
  I'm going to give you or my bail is going to hand you Zoom
• 11:57
  instructions and that's how you'll call in.
• 12:02
  And then if you will have a seat behind you, we'll get your
• 12:05
  notice appearing for sentencing. All right.
• 12:07
  Thank. You.
• 12:08
  All right, Thank you, Miss Adams.
• 12:10
  I'll have them sit on the bench. OK, so all right, we are back 2
• 12:19
  Mr. Barman, hold on. Mr. Fry, you had.
• 12:25
  Mr. Fry, you had. Have Chad Marvin I think.
• 12:29
  Do you want a breakout room real quick?
• 12:31
  Sure. OK, hold on.
• 12:39
  Take care of Mr. Mr. Marvin. I'm going to put in a breakout
• 12:45
  room with Mr. Fry and then you can chat with him for just a
• 12:51
  minute while I take care of Mr. Malarov's case.
• 12:54
  Alright, go ahead and join that break out.
• 12:57
  OK, so we are back on the record with Mr. Bowerman.
• 13:02
  So sorry I got to read the phone numbers again. 2025 Dash 22242
• 13:08
  FH. 2025 Dash 22243 FH. That was in 25-22277 FH, 2025
• 13:19
  dash 22469 FH, and 22,025 dash 22479 FH.
• 13:27
  Matter of the people of the state of Michigan versus Gary
• 13:30
  Bauerman. So, Mr. Malaro, how would you
• 13:33
  like to proceed today? So, Your honor, I've.
• 13:36
  Resolved my concerns with Mr. Bauerman and whether he wanted
• 13:40
  to represent himself. He does not.
• 13:44
  That being said, I would ask if we could adjourn this perhaps
• 13:47
  two weeks for me to see if we can get this matter resolved in
• 13:51
  one fashion or another. I actually I do have one slot
• 13:56
  available for June 10. Is that too soon that.
• 13:59
  'D be fine, Judge. All right.
• 14:02
  I will tell you Mr. Malau, because of the volume of files,
• 14:05
  I will set it for pre trial on June 10.
• 14:08
  But if he decides to avail himself of a plea, please let us
• 14:12
  know and I'll sneak them in on another day so that we have more
• 14:15
  time. Yes, Judge, we'll do that.
• 14:18
  And I'll have you do the step in order to adjourn.
• 14:20
  Mr. McCready. Can he sign your name with
• 14:22
  permission? He may.
• 14:25
  So Mr. Barman, we will see you back on that day.
• 14:28
  Thank you. All right.
• 14:30
  Thank you, guys. Have a good day.
• 14:32
  You too. Thank you.
• 14:33
  All right, so find out. Where's that in Nelson look at?
• 14:46
  Willie Johnson. Oh, is it Willie Johnson all
• 14:49
  right? I think he has.
• 14:50
  Rhonda Underwood, are You Willie Johnson?
• 14:54
  Yes, ma'am. Well, good.
• 14:57
  Willie Johnson's my fine. Good morning, Mr. Malaro.
• 15:01
  Do you need a breakout room with Mr. Villa?
• 15:05
  I do not judge. OK, so Mr. Villa, bear with us
• 15:09
  for a moment. I'm going to take Mr. Johnson
• 15:11
  because he's with MDLC. All right, so FGHIJ.
• 15:18
  OK, so this is file #2021 dash 20392 FH in the matter of the
• 15:28
  people of the State of Michigan versus Willie Lewis Johnson
• 15:30
  junior. So I have Dave McCready
• 15:35
  appearing on behalf of the people and Matt Murphy appearing
• 15:40
  on behalf of Mr. Jensen. And I think if I remember this,
• 15:45
  we need to set him for trial again, correct?
• 15:48
  Or what are what are we doing today?
• 15:49
  Jana, could I have a breakout with Mr. Johnson, please?
• 15:51
  Yes, you can. So Mr. Jensen, I am going to
• 15:55
  open up a breakout room. I believe that you are on a
• 15:57
  Polycom, so you should go automatically to that breakout
• 16:02
  room. When you're done talking to Mr.
• 16:06
  Murphy, I will bring you back in.
• 16:08
  All right, now, he's already gone.
• 16:11
  There you go. He was on Punk.
• 16:13
  All right, so in let's get Mr. Vila's file.
• 16:21
  Mr. Vila was trying to get me to bang him out, right?
• 16:26
  This is file #2025, Dash 22210 FH in 2025 dash 22368 FH.
• 16:37
  This is in the matter of the people of the State of Michigan
• 16:40
  versus Israel Vela Junior. All right, so Mr. Vela, I
• 16:45
  received a letter on April 28th, ACT from Mr. Villa.
• 16:53
  He was asking for removal of his public defender.
• 16:56
  He said there's been a breakdown in conflict in your case and he
• 17:01
  would like to request William Amadeo as his public defender.
• 17:06
  He has agreed to take my case and would again ask that this
• 17:08
  court grant my request. So I'm going to summarize
• 17:11
  something really quick, Mr. Mila.
• 17:14
  And you know, back in the day when I represented you, I was a
• 17:17
  public defender, right? And so we had a contract with
• 17:21
  the courts, right? And, and so the courts could
• 17:26
  grant you another attorney if you ask for it, and they would
• 17:29
  do it one time because we were a direct employee of the courts,
• 17:32
  which kind of was not a good thing, right?
• 17:34
  Because, you know, they found that maybe attorneys shouldn't
• 17:38
  be beholden to judges. So we were very fortunate in our
• 17:41
  county that they were forward thinking and allowed the funding
• 17:45
  for an independent public defender's office, which we
• 17:49
  have, which also though means that I have no authority to
• 17:53
  remove an attorney or appoint an attorney.
• 17:57
  So that's a good thing because I can't pick and choose who
• 17:59
  represents you. But the public defender's office
• 18:02
  is appointed and they, you know, obviously have a process for
• 18:06
  that. So I can't grant your request.
• 18:10
  So I just wanted to put that on the record.
• 18:13
  All right, So that being said, Mr. Molaro and Miss and I have
• 18:18
  Ellis and Arnold appearing on behalf of the People.
• 18:21
  Mr. Molaro. Yeah, Your Honor, so I did
• 18:24
  review that letter. I don't know what the breakdown
• 18:27
  would be, but that being said, we've already provided Mr. Vela
• 18:32
  with a second council. That would be me we are
• 18:38
  bringing. On.
• 18:39
  A new chief in a couple of weeks.
• 18:43
  So I would ask to adjourn this to see what that the new boss
• 18:48
  says about whether Mr. Vila gets the counsel of his choice or
• 18:55
  someone within our office. I'm so I'm just, I guess that's,
• 18:58
  I'm just saying I'm not certain how our office is going to
• 19:02
  handle these kind of things in the future.
• 19:03
  And I'd like to wait until that new person comes on board so we
• 19:08
  can establish whatever that policy is going to be.
• 19:12
  So Mr. Vila has to adjourn the matter all.
• 19:15
  Right. So Mr. Vila, they have a new
• 19:17
  boss at the Public Department Defenders Office, Girl Power.
• 19:20
  And so Mr. Molaro once again is surrounded by women who boss
• 19:26
  them around. So Mr. Veela, because they have
• 19:29
  a new boss coming in, their policies may be different.
• 19:33
  And so Mr. Molaro would like to join this couple weeks to see
• 19:36
  what their policies are going to be.
• 19:38
  Do you have any objection to that?
• 19:39
  No. I don't.
• 19:42
  All right. And Mr. Molaro when?
• 19:43
  What's her name? Yeah, I don't.
• 19:46
  Actually know can I? Can I say one thing though?
• 19:47
  Can. I say one thing, how can I?
• 19:48
  Help everybody stop talking. What, Mr. Mila?
• 19:53
  Man, tell, tell, tell the prosecutor.
• 19:55
  Man. The prosecutor.
• 19:55
  Lord that Lord, that sentencing. Man.
• 19:57
  We take a plea. Tell her what, Mr. Mila?
• 20:01
  Mr. Mila, if the only reason you want to fire your public
• 20:04
  defender is because you don't like the plea offer.
• 20:07
  I'm not one. Listen, it's not about that.
• 20:09
  OK all. Right.
• 20:10
  I'm talking about the process chief public, chief public
• 20:13
  defender start. Hold the 8th.
• 20:16
  Of June, Your Honor. So if we could do that sometime
• 20:19
  that week, that'd be. You said the 5th of June. 8th of
• 20:23
  June all. Right.
• 20:24
  Why don't we do June 17 at 8:30? Hang on one second.
• 20:31
  I'm not here on the 17th. I don't know how much difference
• 20:35
  that makes. It might.
• 20:37
  Be a great. That would be a good day judge,
• 20:39
  if she. It might make sense to go to the
• 20:41
  24th. And judge you.
• 20:44
  For the record, the new public defender's name is Christine
• 20:47
  Beecher, and we are glad you were on the mend.
• 20:51
  Well, I'm not so well. I'm hopefully soon though.
• 20:58
  I'm hopefully soon. All right.
• 20:59
  June 27th at 8:30. Mr. Malone, can you do the step
• 21:02
  in order to adjourn those? Yes, I can, Your Honor.
• 21:05
  The 23rd is on the mend, but it's kind of going back
• 21:09
  downhill. Did you say the 27th or the
• 21:11
  24th? No, we don't want to do Saturday
• 21:15
  about June 24. June 24.
• 21:21
  Sorry. OK.
• 21:24
  All right. There we go.
• 21:27
  All right, Mr. V Love. We'll see you back then.
• 21:29
  Thank you. Thanks, Judge.
• 21:33
  All right. Well, that does explain one
• 21:36
  thing for us. We actually had somebody ask in
• 21:38
  a comment on one of our videos here on TCF where Judge
• 21:42
  Anselone's been because we haven't seen her in a while.
• 21:44
  Sounds like she was ill and might still be.
• 21:46
  So that explains that. Good morning once again,
• 21:50
  everybody. TCF live on a Wednesday.
• 21:53
  Let's go to Lake County, Ohio. A certain Judge O'Donnell is
• 21:57
  about to deal with a new contestant, Ohio versus
• 22:01
  Nathaniel Jackson, case number 25 CR 1652.
• 22:06
  The defendant is present with counsel Paul Meyer.
• 22:08
  We were last here on April 10th, 2020, sixth, where the defendant
• 22:12
  pled guilty to count one of the indictment, failure to comply, a
• 22:15
  felony of the third degree. And we are here today for
• 22:18
  sentencing. All right, Mr. Meyer.
• 22:21
  Your Honor, that is correct. I think the court is also aware
• 22:24
  of the fact that Mister Jackson has been sentenced by the
• 22:27
  Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court for a period of
• 22:32
  incarceration with ODRC on a similar charge, so we're ready
• 22:39
  to proceed with sentencing. Go ahead.
• 22:42
  Well, Your Honor. I would like.
• 22:44
  The court to fashion a sentence which includes A minimal amount
• 22:49
  of time. I think Mr. Jackson has been
• 22:52
  relatively cooperative in this matter.
• 22:55
  He's already got a lifetime suspension of his operator's
• 22:59
  license, so I know the court would also impose that
• 23:05
  overlapping suspension. And then I believe any sentence
• 23:10
  the court imposes is by law going to be consecutive, so we
• 23:15
  understand. That thank you.
• 23:18
  All right, Mr. Jackson, what do you want to tell me before I
• 23:20
  impose sentence? I just want to let you know that
• 23:24
  I am better than my worst moments.
• 23:27
  I'm not like trying to go to prison for a longer time like I
• 23:30
  was hoping, like for like a suspended sentence if possible,
• 23:36
  but I'm only enough to take responsibility for my actions
• 23:40
  and just ask for your emergency. So what was the thought process
• 23:44
  here when you were at this? I wasn't behind the wheel in
• 23:47
  this Willoughby case. I honestly wasn't thinking I was
• 23:51
  scared at the time. I was really just scared and
• 23:55
  trying to getaway at that moment.
• 23:58
  Well, the the problem is the getaway.
• 24:01
  What, what time of what? What time of day was this?
• 24:03
  Do you remember? It was night time or evening.
• 24:08
  OK, people around in the in the shopping center.
• 24:14
  They've said that, but not not the Yeah.
• 24:18
  So you you essentially turned a misdemeanor theft case into a
• 24:24
  felony 3 flee in the loo. So what?
• 24:29
  Why did you decide to run? I was scared.
• 24:31
  I was on probation in Cuyahoga County, so I'm scared that, you
• 24:36
  know, I was going to get arrested and they were going to
• 24:38
  violate my probation and stuff like that.
• 24:40
  And I just knew that I was doing something wrong.
• 24:44
  So I was trying not to. I was trying to evade the law
• 24:46
  and not try to get in trouble at that time.
• 24:49
  Well, you've been sentenced out of Cuyahoga to a year for a
• 24:54
  failure to comply, right? And what was that?
• 24:58
  What was that failure to comply all about?
• 25:02
  What'd you do? We actually got a date.
• 25:06
  They said that they tried to conduct a traffic stop and I
• 25:10
  basically I didn't see them, but I pulled over a little bit
• 25:13
  further down and they came like about 5 or 10 minutes later and
• 25:17
  they addressed me about the situation and we handled it
• 25:19
  right then and there. I went to jail, bonded out and
• 25:22
  then. OK, you've also got some
• 25:25
  attempts in your past, right? Attempt failed to fail to
• 25:28
  comply. Yeah, OK.
• 25:30
  Why do you keep doing the same thing over and over again?
• 25:33
  Honestly I just I'd be scared to stop for the police like but
• 25:38
  now. Why?
• 25:40
  Why? I most of the time I'd be on
• 25:43
  probation or maybe something going on in my life to where I
• 25:48
  just don't be because I'm like jealous, like the right thing at
• 25:51
  the right time at that time. Well, it's usually never the
• 25:54
  right thing at the right time, right?
• 25:56
  No, it isn't. But now it's like now I know not
• 26:00
  to do that. I can't drive anymore.
• 26:03
  Well, this, this situation, you went, you went over a a median
• 26:10
  one point, went a little airborne and and then nearly
• 26:13
  struck some pedestrians. That's.
• 26:17
  That's people targets a busy stores people in and out of that
• 26:21
  place all the time and and you nearly hit some people.
• 26:25
  So your your past demonstrates you don't have a lot of concern
• 26:29
  for this kind of stuff because you've got is it miss gold?
• 26:33
  Is it? Is it 2 attempted failure to
• 26:35
  complies in the past? Yes, your Honor, one in 2023 and
• 26:39
  one in 2025. OK.
• 26:42
  And then we got the, we have this one, Go ahead.
• 26:46
  The 1 from 2025 was actually in 2023.
• 26:51
  It was, it was the same one, it was a duplicate charge and I was
• 26:54
  supposed to get charged for it. And when I got out of prison he,
• 26:58
  William McGinty, he miss sentenced me at the time I'm I'm
• 27:01
  guessing. And when I got sentenced to
• 27:05
  prison he was supposed to put that in there and he didn't.
• 27:07
  So when I got out he just gave me probation for it.
• 27:09
  But it was from 20/23. OK, well so on the 1st attempted
• 27:14
  failure to comply, you went to prison.
• 27:17
  Yeah. Was that McGinty also?
• 27:19
  Yeah. OK.
• 27:22
  And then you got the minimum on the Cuyahoga one, the 12 month,
• 27:25
  right? For this here.
• 27:28
  In when you were downtown. Yeah, I'm serving.
• 27:31
  Yeah, no. OK, you're going to Lorraine in
• 27:34
  a couple weeks for a sentencing on a theft, right?
• 27:38
  Yeah. And we got some summit stuff you
• 27:41
  got to take care of, right? Yeah.
• 27:44
  You got to get your shit. Together.
• 27:46
  I mean, this is this is ridiculous.
• 27:48
  I understand, Your Honor. I have court on Friday actually
• 27:51
  for another case that I'm trying to.
• 27:53
  Clear Summit. I believe so.
• 27:58
  I think it's summit. I'm sorry.
• 27:59
  They they run together. I'd be confused, but it's from
• 28:04
  prison. I'm in prison now, so it'll be
• 28:06
  from there all. Right.
• 28:08
  Well, you got to figure out what you want to do after you get out
• 28:10
  of prison because this, this stuff ain't working out too well
• 28:13
  so far. I actually was working when I
• 28:16
  got and then I have a my son, he was born February 11th, so I
• 28:19
  haven't got to see him yet either.
• 28:20
  But I was actually working when I got arrested.
• 28:25
  I just was doing dumb stuff. Well, that's true.
• 28:28
  Can't argue with that. Anything else you want to say?
• 28:32
  And I just asked that you give me the minimum, if, if any
• 28:36
  prison time at all. Well, there has to be prison
• 28:39
  time. That's the nature of the
• 28:40
  offense. When you pick up these failure
• 28:42
  to comply, it just compounds. So it it has to be a prison
• 28:47
  sentence and it has to be consecutive.
• 28:49
  So that's where you're at. That's kind of the activity
• 28:54
  you've engaged in. I understand.
• 28:56
  All right, Miss Gold. Thank you, Your Honor.
• 28:59
  In this case, if you, as you have already said, the defendant
• 29:02
  essentially took what would have otherwise been a misdemeanor
• 29:05
  theft and escalated it to a failure to comply.
• 29:09
  This offense happened at approximately 6:30 in the
• 29:13
  evening on October 27th, 2025 SA few days before Halloween.
• 29:18
  And at that time, the parking lot where the Spirit of
• 29:20
  Halloween store was located was busy with pedestrians from
• 29:24
  Spirit of Halloween, from Target, from several other
• 29:27
  stores. And the defendant, with no
• 29:29
  regard to the safety of any of the other pedestrians or people
• 29:33
  located in those cars, took off with disregard to those people
• 29:39
  driving across the median, driving through a pedestrian
• 29:42
  crosswalk. Parents had to pull their kids
• 29:45
  closer to them. There were individuals who the
• 29:48
  police talked to who were afraid that the defendant's car was
• 29:51
  going to strike them. And the defendant took these
• 29:53
  actions with no regard for their safety.
• 29:56
  The defendant has previously been convicted of what shows on
• 29:59
  the Cuyahoga County docket is 2 attempted failure to complies,
• 30:03
  one in 2023 and one and 25 as well as a recent conviction for
• 30:09
  failure to comply F3 that he was sentenced to in Cuyahoga County.
• 30:16
  The State does not believe that these actions warrant a minimal
• 30:19
  prison sentence. The State is asking for prison
• 30:21
  consecutive to what the defendant is serving in his
• 30:24
  Cuyahoga case. And that is a consecutive by
• 30:27
  statute, correct? Yes, your Honor.
• 30:29
  All right. I reviewed the the pre sentence
• 30:36
  report that was done out of the rain as well as a portion of the
• 30:41
  report relating to this offense and reviewed the judgment entry
• 30:46
  from Cuyahoga County from your recent sentence that considered
• 30:49
  all the provisions in 292911292912 and 292913.
• 30:56
  So as I said, Mr. Jackson, this is a usually these failure to
• 31:03
  complies are on streets that lead to highways and 90 miles an
• 31:09
  hour and the police stop chasing.
• 31:10
  But this was I think this was more dangerous because now we're
• 31:15
  not talking about cars. We're talking about people
• 31:17
  walking out of stores across parking lots at 6:30 at at night
• 31:22
  four days prior to Halloween. So it's busy and that place is
• 31:25
  always busy. That shopping center is always
• 31:27
  busy, especially around that particular area.
• 31:30
  So you pose a real danger to people who are just out minding
• 31:34
  their own business because you're and these two other women
• 31:38
  are, you know, doing what you do.
• 31:41
  And that's, you know, stealing from different stores.
• 31:43
  That's you're all over the place doing this stuff.
• 31:46
  So on the on this charge, count 1, the failure to comply and
• 31:52
  when it's sent to you at 24 months in prison and that by
• 31:56
  statute that sentence is consecutive to your Cuyahoga
• 32:00
  County case, which is a 12 month sentence.
• 32:03
  I'm also going to impose the cost and your driver's license
• 32:06
  is suspended for your lifetime. That's a mandatory suspension
• 32:10
  under the code. When you get out, you will be on
• 32:15
  post release control for a year, up to three years with
• 32:18
  conditions. If you violate the conditions of
• 32:20
  parole, authority could send you back to prison for up to nine
• 32:23
  months for each violation up to 1/2 of my sentence.
• 32:26
  If that violation is a new felony, you could get an
• 32:29
  additional consecutive prison sentence for the violation, the
• 32:32
  maximum of which is the greater of 12 months for the time left
• 32:36
  under post release control. The remaining charges are
• 32:40
  dismissed. Your Honor.
• 32:42
  Yeah. Am I able to get the time served
• 32:45
  for since December whether I got arrested December 16th from Lake
• 32:49
  County? Do not believe so.
• 32:53
  I don't know Miss Gold's position on this, but you're
• 32:55
  held on several other cases. So I don't know if if you
• 33:01
  believe there is any credit for for time served.
• 33:04
  Your Honor, I don't believe there is because at that time he
• 33:07
  was also being held and getting credit.
• 33:09
  For if you are, we'll, we'll take a look.
• 33:11
  If you're, if you are not being held on anything else, then I'll
• 33:14
  give you credit. We'll go back and give you
• 33:16
  credit for whatever time you serve.
• 33:18
  But if you're being held on something else, then there is no
• 33:20
  credit. So can I get like a judicial or
• 33:22
  something? Well, you, you got, you got, you
• 33:27
  got to clear up a whole bunch of things before you can even think
• 33:29
  about that. So anything else Miss Gold?
• 33:33
  No, Your honor, thank. You am I your anything further?
• 33:36
  No, judge. Thank you.
• 33:37
  All right. We're adjourned 2 years.
• 33:39
  I'll try the year. Two years consecutive to the
• 33:42
  time that was. Imposed by Cuyahoga.
• 33:44
  County. You have 12 months from there.
• 33:47
  Now you've got 12. 24 months from from here.
• 33:50
  So I don't get out till 2. 1009, yeah, I would say that's
• 33:56
  correct. You know we'll.
• 34:02
  All right. Always fun to hear a little bit
• 34:04
  of back and forth between attorney and client there.
• 34:07
  Let's go back up to Judge McNally. 2O71 Good morning, Sir.
• 34:15
  Your knee. All right, so you were arraigned
• 34:18
  on April 15th. You've been representing
• 34:20
  yourself, correct? Yes, Sir.
• 34:23
  And you met with the city of Yeah, the city attorney today
• 34:28
  and they are going to dismiss the driving on a suspended.
• 34:31
  You're going to plead guilty to allowing an unlicensed driver to
• 34:34
  drive, is that right? If you do that, the possible
• 34:37
  penalties are up to $500 in fines, 90 days jail costs are
• 34:41
  all of those. Do you understand that?
• 34:43
  Did you sign, read and understand the advice of rights?
• 34:46
  If you plead guilt, you're giving up all those rights and
• 34:48
  we're not going to have a hearing or a trial.
• 34:50
  Do you understand that? You still have the right to a
• 34:53
  lawyer? If you want one, I will appoint
• 34:55
  you one. Would you like a lawyer?
• 34:57
  Really. And the prosecutor settlement,
• 35:00
  the. Well, I know, but I'm just, I
• 35:03
  have to tell you, if you want a lawyer, I'll give you one.
• 35:07
  Do you understand that? Yes, Sir.
• 35:08
  All right. So you want a lawyer or you
• 35:11
  don't want a lawyer? No, that's it.
• 35:13
  You waive your right to a lawyer, the charge allowing an
• 35:16
  unlicensed driver to drive. How do you plead on the 20th of
• 35:19
  March at 26 at 9:10 PM, where you in control of the 2009
• 35:23
  Chevrolet that was being operated on Allen, their king of
• 35:26
  the city of Woodhead. Did you allow somebody to drive
• 35:29
  that was unlicensed and that was you correct?
• 35:32
  Are you licensed now or taking steps to get a license taken to
• 35:36
  get a license? You got to do that.
• 35:39
  Why didn't you ever get a license?
• 35:40
  You're 27, right? The Secretary of State here told
• 35:43
  me that to take her to traffic violation violation back.
• 35:47
  Home in Las. Vegas.
• 35:50
  You moved to Michigan from Las Vegas.
• 35:53
  Are you on probation or parole right now?
• 35:55
  Anybody force you to plead guilty?
• 35:58
  Yes. I'll accept the plea.
• 35:59
  Dismissed the light on you. But you got to you got to stay
• 36:04
  with me here. I'm going to come back on one of
• 36:07
  these, OK? Yes, Sir.

• 36:11
  They'll let you up here by Zoom if they're misdemeanors or pay
• 36:14
  them up if they're civil infractions.
• 36:16
  I don't know how old they are with the circumstances, but you
• 36:19
  need to check into that and follow up.
• 36:20
  OK. Anything else you'd like to tell
• 36:23
  me before I sent you? 100 fines, 125 + 75 victims
• 36:28
  rights, $50 justice assessment. 350 or 60 days could have been a
• 36:33
  lot worse. Do you have the money to pay
• 36:34
  this? Yes, Sir.
• 36:36
  OK, but on the hall and take care of it.

  All right? You have not been convicted.
• 46:14
  So you realize I don't know if this other case is going in
• 46:18
  front of Judge Hessen or not. You realize I'm only dealing
• 46:21
  with the possession marijuana case, correct?
• 46:24
  Yeah, I just realized that yeah, I did have.
• 46:27
  Two of them, but. OK, Yeah, I'll is that to look
• 46:31
  into another court? Is that other one assigned to
• 46:34
  Judge Hess and Heather? I've only seen the one open.
• 46:39
  He's got another one. He's got two different case.
• 46:43
  He's got two different case numbers.
• 46:45
  Here I'm dealing only with the 18B128136.

• 47:06
  that one. The last thing is back in
• 47:09
  February, certified copy was requested on that so.
• 47:13
  He did attach it to the same application.
• 47:17
  He's got the case number on there anyway.
• 47:21
  OK, let me check with Lisa it. Must be Judge Hessens or
• 47:24
  something, or else I think they would have given it to me.
• 47:27
  Yeah, I'm going to check in to see if they realize that.
• 47:31
  OK, you don't. You've never been convicted of
• 47:33
  more than three felonies, correct?
• 47:35
  Oh sure, let. Me ask you to raise your right
• 47:37
  hand. You soundly swear a firm under
• 47:38
  penalties of perjury, that the testimony you've given these
• 47:40
  proceedings be the whole true self you've got.
• 47:43
  Yes, I do. OK.

  You don't have any criminal charges pending?
• 47:49
  No, everything is. Old.

  That I'm having expunged. I have court dates in Detroit
• 47:54
  and and Taylor as well coming up.
• 47:57
  Yeah, but I'm just saying you don't have any charges pending.
• 48:01
  Those were already adjudicated. Yeah, no charges pending.
• 48:05
  All right, all right. What are you doing now?
• 48:08
  I'm a 3 1/2 years sober now and I work for the union now local
• 48:14
  687. I own business as well,
• 48:17
  construction company and we're just moving forward and trying
• 48:21
  to put life back together all. Right, I'm setting aside the
• 48:25
  conviction on this and I'm going to go ahead and then grant your
• 48:30
  applications. So this one I'm setting aside
• 48:36
  this conviction and you're going to have to do anything on who
• 48:40
  that's assigned to that 18B128 we're.
• 48:43
  Going to have to. We're going to have to look at
• 48:45
  it when it comes down here, Judge.
• 48:48
  So Mr. Vaughn, why don't you get Mr. Vaughn's number, chat with
• 48:51
  them. I'm signing this on the
• 48:53
  Brownstown case, 18B128136. And you guys follow up with the
• 49:00
  other. OK, If it's the attorney
• 49:02
  General's office did did respond and they're saying hey, and
• 49:09
  they're not really eligible for to set aside that conviction,
• 49:11
  but she's setting it aside because the prosecutor is
• 49:15
  because it's marijuana. Marijuana is now legal.
• 49:18
  So I'm going to go ahead and take care of that.
• 49:20
  All right, Thank you, Sir. Best of luck.
• 49:23
  But don't leave until you talk to her, OK?
• 49:26
  I did send him a message if you could just respond to that.
• 49:29
  Mister Vaughn, please. Stacy Sherman.
• 49:32
  All righty, friends, let's move along.
• 49:33
  Let's go down to Florida. Wade Mercer apparently is still
• 49:36
  on vacation, hopefully fishing legally and not getting a Class
• 49:40
  1 felony or anything like that. But it is Judge Kevin Grover
• 49:46
  this morning. First appearance for Calhoun
• 49:48
  County, May 27th, 2026. I'm Judge Grover.
• 49:51
  We will begin with State B Joseph Phillips.
• 49:56
  Phillips. Miss Phillips, did you see the
• 49:59
  video advising you of your rights?
• 50:02
  Yes, Sir. OK, you are charged with
• 50:06
  possession of marijuana less than 20 grams.
• 50:10
  You also have a warrant out of Leon County.
• 50:14
  The warrant out of Leon County has a $500 preset.
• 50:18
  If you do make that bond and if you are released, if you do not
• 50:22
  have a notice for a court date in Leon, contact the clerk's
• 50:24
  office in Leon County to and they will provide notice of that
• 50:27
  court date. Also, there is a preset on the
• 50:31
  possession of marijuana less than 20 grams of $5000.
• 50:34
  Anything from the attorneys regarding the bond, we just.
• 50:39
  Request he'd be subject to random U as.
• 50:42
  Sure. And Miss Phillips, you are
• 50:43
  subject to a random urinalysis and once again, the bond on the
• 50:48
  possession of marijuana less than 20 grams is $5000 and on
• 50:52
  the worn out of Leon County there is a preset of $500.
• 50:57
  On that bond. You will receive paper notice of
• 51:01
  your court date in Jackson. Show up on that date and time.
• 51:04
  If you do not receive or excuse me, if you do not post the bond,
• 51:09
  you'll be transported to the court date.
• 51:11
  And and did you see the video advising you of your rights
• 51:14
  regarding this? These matter today, Mr.
• 51:16
  Phillips. Yes, Sir, I did.
• 51:19
  OK. Any anything else regarding this
• 51:20
  case? As far as the UA goes, a
• 51:24
  whenever I go, whenever I get out, if I go and get my medical
• 51:28
  card, can I still smoke marijuana?
• 51:31
  You know, speak to the to the the person who does the UA.
• 51:35
  But whatever you're legally allowed to do, you can legally
• 51:38
  do answer to your question, OK? Thank you.
• 51:46
  OK. Next we have is this is it Mr.
• 51:50
  Biller OD Biller? Mr. Biller, did you see the
• 51:54
  video advising you of your rights?
• 51:57
  Yes, Your Honor, he did. He's hard to hear and he's.
• 51:59
  Close to death, but. Thank you.
• 52:01
  Thank you. Will you advise him?
• 52:04
  He does have a hold for a warrant out of Franklin County.
• 52:08
  I've already advised him and he understands that he's going to
• 52:10
  get transformed there, Your Honor.
• 52:12
  Thank you, Sir. I appreciate it all.
• 52:15
  Right. And Mr. This is State V Trent
• 52:20
  Smith Mr. Smith, did you see the video advising you of your
• 52:23
  rights? Yes.
• 52:25
  Sir, you are here for a number of charges, one being violation
• 52:30
  of state probation. There's also three counts of
• 52:34
  failure to register Internet identifiers.
• 52:37
  There is a possession of sexual material, including animals.
• 52:42
  There is. There are 10 counts of
• 52:44
  possession of child pornography is also transmitting child
• 52:48
  pornography, unlawful use of a two way communication device as
• 52:53
  well as a charge for escape. Anything from the attorneys?
• 52:57
  No, Your Honor. Your Honor, I have been informed
• 53:01
  by state probation that a affidavit and warrant are in the
• 53:06
  queue for the sign and judge to basically enact.
• 53:12
  So ABOP warrant should be coming in.
• 53:15
  As for his new law charges, we believe that this may fit the
• 53:21
  enhancement under 775.08473 B. So there may be a chance that
• 53:28
  his new law charges qualify for first degree felonies.
• 53:32
  We just asked that his bond reflect that.
• 53:36
  Very well, and I'm in in unless there's an objection.
• 53:40
  I'm intending to move forward with a hold without on the VOPI
• 53:43
  think there's enough information in the affidavit to move forward
• 53:47
  accordingly. So Mr. Smith, on the violation
• 53:52
  of your state probation, I am going to hold you without bond.
• 53:58
  On the failure to register Internet identifiers, there are
• 54:01
  three counts. I am setting bonds at $10,000
• 54:05
  per account for a total of $30,000 on those charges.
• 54:11
  On the possession of sexual materials involving animals, I'm
• 54:17
  going to I'm going to set the bond, the bond in that case at
• 54:21
  $20,000, want to set that at $10,000.
• 54:26
  And then also the possession of child pornography 10 counts
• 54:30
  $10,000 per account for a total of 100 that $100,000 the
• 54:36
  transmitting child pornography at $20,000, the unlawful use of
• 54:41
  a two way communication device at $5000 and then the escape
• 54:46
  charge at $20,000. So my math is correct.
• 54:52
  That is a bond on the new charges of $185,000.
• 54:57
  However, you are held without bond on your violation of state
• 55:02
  probation and you cannot have any contact with any minors.
• 55:07
  You'll receive paper notice of your court date and you will be
• 55:11
  transported to that court date. Do you understand?
• 55:15
  Yes, Sir. And next we have Kevin Bellamy.
• 55:22
  Mr. Bellamy, did you see the video advising you of your
• 55:26
  rights? The paperwork indicates you are
• 55:32
  both on a here on a violation of probation and a violation of
• 55:36
  community control. Does that appear to be correct
• 55:40
  for the attorneys? Yes, Your Honor.
• 55:42
  OK. And on both of those, on both of
• 55:45
  those matters, you are going to be held without bond.
• 55:48
  You also have a failure to register your Internet
• 55:54
  identifiers 4 counts. I'm going to set bond on that at
• 55:57
  $10,000 per account for a total of $40,000.
• 56:03
  You will be transported to your court date.
• 56:06
  You will receive notice of that you cannot have contact with any
• 56:11
  minors. Do you understand?
• 56:18
  Next we have Amber Maldonado. Miss Maldonado, did you see the
• 56:24
  video advising you of your rights?
• 56:27

• 56:30
  your county probation. At this time you are held
• 56:33
  without bond. You will receive paper notice of
• 56:37
  your court date and you will be transported to your court date.
• 56:40

  OK, so on the battery on the person 65 years of age or older,
• 58:07
  I'm going to set your bond at $2500.
• 58:12
  On the the the robbery by sudden snatching and by the affidavit
• 58:16
  indicated that was regarding, regarding a cell phone that I
• 58:19
  believe was ultimately returned. I'll set that bond at $2500 for
• 58:25
  a total bond of $5000. And I will point out that you do
• 58:29
  have a minimal criminal history, $5000.

  If you make the bond show up for your court date, you'll receive
• 58:35

  Contact is viewed broadly, no e-mail, no third party, no
• 58:47
  personal contact. You can't post on social media
• 58:50
  and that regarding him or or something you expect him to see.
• 58:57
  You can't wave at him if you pass him on the highway.
• 59:00
  Whatever you can think of that that that may be construed as
• 59:02
  contact will be construed as contact.
• 59:04
  If you have personal effects at that location, you have a couple
• 59:09
  of options. You can request a law
• 59:12
  enforcement officer accompany you to retrieve your personal
• 59:16
  effects and that would be permissible for that purpose
• 59:18
  only. Or you could have a third party
• 59:23
  go request your personal effects but but they couldn't relay any
• 59:26
  information to the alleged victim other than that
• 59:31
  information that is necessary to and your personal effects.
• 59:35
  Do you understand I? Understand.

  court date. Next we have Derek.

  I think you you. It was indicated to me there
• 59:50
  might be as Darrell Bugs that needs to sign a waiver.
• 59:52
  Ma'am. Yes, you're on sound right.
• 59:56
  Any questions, Mr. Bugs? Can I get a copy of?
• 59:59
  Both of these please. Yes, Any questions?
• 1:00:03
  I just asked some. Questions I asked.
• 1:00:05
  Any questions for the judge or? OK.
• 1:00:07
  Good luck to you, Sir, and I believe that concludes first
• 1:00:11
  appearance for Jackson County today.
• 1:00:14
  Okie dokie friends once again, good morning TCF live episode
• 1:00:17
  298 today. So Austin had a question in the
• 1:00:22
  chat wondering what how was it phrased?
• 1:00:26
  The Internet identifiers? What was that all about?
• 1:00:30
  So I looked that up. Under Florida law, a failure to
• 1:00:34
  ID regarding Internet identifier specifically applies to
• 1:00:37
  registered sex offenders and predators and Internet
• 1:00:41
  identifiers defined as any designation, screen name,
• 1:00:44
  username, or moniker used for self identification on
• 1:00:48
  commercial social networking websites or applications that
• 1:00:52
  facilitate commercial or social rather communication.
• 1:00:55
  It does not include Pins, passwords or Social Security
• 1:00:58
  numbers. Offenders are legally obligated
• 1:01:01
  to report any new or changed electronic mail addresses and
• 1:01:05
  Internet identifiers, along with their corresponding website
• 1:01:08
  homepage or application software name within 48 hours.
• 1:01:13
  Update must be filed through the Florida Department of Law
• 1:01:16
  Enforcement Cyber Communication System or in person at the local
• 1:01:19
  Sheriff's Office. So that's what that was all
• 1:01:23
  about and just a a parade of fine, fine people in front of
• 1:01:28
  Judge Grover this morning. As if children weren't enough,
• 1:01:32
  the one guy had to involve animals as well.
• 1:01:35
  Shake my head. Okie, Dokie, let's go back up to
• 1:01:38
  Michigan. We'll check in with Judge De
• 1:01:40
  Santo if. You're the 828 Pier and I'd be
• 1:01:42
  happy with my line if there's my right and runner.
• 1:01:45
  This daytime set for the free channel Sir please for the
• 1:01:49
  record. All.

• 1:02:05
  All right. And so Council adds to the
• 1:02:06
  arraignment. As for rating, Your Honor, I've
• 1:02:08

• 1:02:10
  My plan understands them. So today we wait for ratings
• 1:02:13
  stand mute As for a plead not guilty to be entered for
• 1:02:15
  arraignment purposes. All right.
• 1:02:17
  The court will waive the formal reading, enter a plea of not
• 1:02:19
  guilty for purposes of the arraignment and then as to the
• 1:02:22
  pretrial council. As to pretrial, Your honor, my
• 1:02:24
  client has been a constitutional rights, he is feeling
• 1:02:27
  voluntarily entering a plea of guilty as charged.
• 1:02:30
  This is the destruction of property and then left here
• 1:02:33
  going to address the issue of restitution at the the
• 1:02:38
  sentencing and ask the prosecutor to bring in the
• 1:02:41
  complaining witness because we've got some questions about
• 1:02:44
  some of the restitution numbers. OK.
• 1:02:47
  All right, Sir, please raise your right hand.
• 1:02:49
  Do soundly swear or from testimony about to give in this
• 1:02:51
  matter be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
• 1:02:54
  All right. And you heard the plea that was
• 1:02:57
  placed on the record, correct? As to the charge of malicious
• 1:03:01
  destruction of property, Sir, how do you plead?
• 1:03:05
  You've gone over your advice of rights with your attorney,
• 1:03:07
  correct? And you understand all of those
• 1:03:12
  rights? You also understand that by
• 1:03:18
  entering into a plea that you'll be waiving some of those rights.
• 1:03:23
  You understand as well, Sir, the possible penalty as a result of
• 1:03:25
  your plea, whether in this court, any other court or
• 1:03:28
  administrative agency. Yes, Sir.
• 1:03:30
  Your Honor, addition I I forgot to mention, we're asking the
• 1:03:33
  court if the court accepts the plea to take it through to MCL
• 1:03:37
  771.1. I'll explain to my client what
• 1:03:40
  that means the the basically plea under advised.
• 1:03:43
  All right. And Sir, as your attorney just
• 1:03:46
  stated, you do understand what the 771.1 status is.
• 1:03:51
  Yes, I do. Knowing all of that, do you want
• 1:03:53
  to continue with your plea? Yes, I do.
• 1:03:56
  Has anybody promised you anything, threatened you or
• 1:03:58
  coerced you in any way for you to enter into a plea?
• 1:04:01
  No any immigration issues. No.
• 1:04:04
  Counselor, if you can please, if I do your client.
• 1:04:06
  Jenkins Honor About March 22nd, 2026, in the early evening,
• 1:04:11
  about 8:30, were you in my place Lounge in the city wind up, Yes,
• 1:04:15
  you were with another gentleman, correct?
• 1:04:17
  There came a time where you had a little bit of a disagreement,
• 1:04:20
  you stopped and some of the wait staff, is that correct?
• 1:04:24
  And also you've been drinking alcohol beverages that evening,
• 1:04:27
  correct? There came a time then you,
• 1:04:29
  pretty much you and your friend decided you had enough of the
• 1:04:31
  place and decided to leave, correct?
• 1:04:34
  Before you left you took a bar stool and broke that right and
• 1:04:39
  also you grab a strand on lights and pull those down and some of
• 1:04:43
  those got damaged, is that correct?
• 1:04:45
  Correct. He did that intentionally,
• 1:04:47
  right? No one gave permission to do
• 1:04:48
  that. Yes, it is I'm.
• 1:04:50
  Sorry, hold on. That was a, that was a, that was
• 1:04:53
  a double ended question. So.
• 1:04:54
  Oh, OK. I'm sorry.
• 1:04:57
  No one gave you permission to do that to the property, did they?
• 1:05:00
  No. All right.
• 1:05:02
  Thank. You all right.
• 1:05:03
  Thank you. And it appears as though there
• 1:05:06
  what the damage appears to be based upon the police report
• 1:05:10
  were two metal high back bar stools with padded seats, one
• 1:05:13
  electric power cord for an LED string of lights.
• 1:05:17
  So that appears to be what the the restitution will center
• 1:05:22
  upon, correct? Well, that's what we're pleading
• 1:05:25
  to. But if the court looks further,
• 1:05:29
  the I don't know if it was the owner of the of the bar or not
• 1:05:32
  submitted a very large bill with more damage and some other
• 1:05:36
  things that I don't believe my client and then he can do it.
• 1:05:40
  But we'll find that out with the restitution area, I would
• 1:05:42
  imagine. And Sir, where did you play
• 1:05:44
  professional football? The Packers.
• 1:05:47
  The Eagles. The Giants in Washington.
• 1:05:50
  What position did you play, Sir? Defensive man and defensive
• 1:05:53
  title. And how long have you not been
• 1:05:55
  playing football? About 8 years now.
• 1:05:59
  He played thirteen years. Is that correct?
• 1:06:00
  Correct. He'll be a leader.
• 1:06:03
  This has been fun. Were you?
• 1:06:06
  Is there also a charge of operating Operating law?
• 1:06:09
  Intoxicated Council. That's for the the the driver
• 1:06:13
  that was with it. Oh.
• 1:06:15
  That's right. OK.
• 1:06:16
  I think that been resolved. The prosecutor said that I'm not
• 1:06:19
  sure, OK, and they're not representing.
• 1:06:22
  My plan is. The five bar stools.
• 1:06:24
  Yeah, that's, I can't figure that out either.
• 1:06:26
  You're on. I mean, if necessary, there's a
• 1:06:28
  video. OK.
• 1:06:30
  But you know what if if the court needs me to get the video
• 1:06:34
  discovery there, I'll. Do that.
• 1:06:36
  Well, the video may be helpful for restitution purposes.
• 1:06:39
  All right, Sir. And are you retired or are you
• 1:06:44
  working? Yeah, I'm retired.
• 1:06:46
  I'm working in schools. I used to work at Adams Middle
• 1:06:49
  School, the white bus line. OK.
• 1:06:51
  And what do you do there, Sir? Oh, building substitute.
• 1:06:55
  You're what? A building substitute.
• 1:06:57
  Oh, building substitute. OK.
• 1:06:59
  Have you ever failed to appear in court for any reason, Sir?
• 1:07:03
  Are you out on bond in any other jurisdiction?
• 1:07:05
  No, didn't post a $500 bond in this matter.
• 1:07:09
  When I will also state if I did not, that the court does find
• 1:07:12
  the pleas knowing, voluntary and factually accurate.
• 1:07:14
  The court will accept your plea, determine the your eligibility
• 1:07:18
  under 771.1 at sentencing, which appears to be something that
• 1:07:23
  would be applicable as you don't have any prior criminal history.
• 1:07:28
  Your honor, I'm going to ask the prosecutor for discovery order,
• 1:07:30
  then the court to sign. I don't have it with me.
• 1:07:34
  OK. All right.
• 1:07:35
  Thank you. That's fine.
• 1:07:37
  OK. The court's going to continue
• 1:07:40
  your cash bond. You're not to return to My Place
• 1:07:43
  Bar. You are not to any contact with
• 1:07:46
  My Place Bar staff. And you're not to possess to
• 1:07:48
  consume the alcohol or drugs unless prescribed.
• 1:07:50
  All right. Do you, Sir?
• 1:07:53
  If you were to test right now, what would be detected in your
• 1:07:55
  system? Other than prescribed
• 1:07:58
  medications like maybe so marijuana?
• 1:08:02
  All right. When's the last time you used
• 1:08:03
  it, Sir? Last night.
• 1:08:05
  OK. Are you still under the
• 1:08:06
  influence? No.
• 1:08:08
  OK. That's what I wanted to confirm,
• 1:08:10
  Sir. No, I yeah, I just having the
• 1:08:14
  cell town. All right.
• 1:08:17
  If you are, I do want to address 1 matter if he's in that
• 1:08:20
  sentence beforehand. In July he has a pre planned
• 1:08:23
  trip for work he has to leave the state to go to.
• 1:08:25
  Which state? Milwaukee, WI is, Wisconsin is.
• 1:08:30
  That that's for work. I do some appearances and and
• 1:08:35
  different things out there. OK.
• 1:08:37
  Oh. So for no, OK, not for your
• 1:08:39
  building substitute work, but for your own private business
• 1:08:44
  purposes. All right.
• 1:08:45
  Or as the with permission if, if it takes that long.
• 1:08:48
  Do you have exact dates of? Yes, I believe it's July 18th.
• 1:08:56
  We verified that with the probation department.
• 1:08:58
  Just speak to that. Yes, that's fine.
• 1:08:59
  And if for some reason we have not had the sentencing yet, just
• 1:09:03
  submit something into the court with your dates of travel and
• 1:09:08
  that shouldn't be a problem. OK.
• 1:09:10
  OK. All right.
• 1:09:12
  Thank you. Should.
• 1:09:13
  You go to the probation then. Yes.
• 1:09:17
  Thank you all. Right.
• 1:09:18
  I'll show you where it is. Thank you.
• 1:09:19
  Thank you. Have a good day.
• 1:09:20
  You'll get a copy of your bond conditions here as well, Sir.
• 1:09:24
  I have a seat. No, no, no, he'll get.
• 1:09:27
  All right, friends, let's change it up.
• 1:09:28
  I want to head down to Kentucky Judge David Williams.
• 1:09:31
  To be honest, I'm not sure what we're stumbling into other than
• 1:09:35
  when I was scanning feeds I heard him say words to the
• 1:09:40
  effect of we don't get a lot of murders around here, so let's
• 1:09:45
  see what that's all about. Make the room for him there.
• 1:09:48
  Are you Dylan Cherry? Good morning.
• 1:09:51
  We're here on 26 CR 0013. Mr. Cherry, were you born in
• 1:09:55
  1991? Is there?
• 1:09:57
  What is the last? We're here on a pretrial
• 1:09:59
  conference. What's the Commonwealth have to
• 1:10:01
  say? Judge, I'm not.
• 1:10:03
  Really. Familiar with this case other
• 1:10:05
  than I understand there's some issue with the bond.
• 1:10:09
  Is that correct? Mr. Cherry did want to hear on
• 1:10:13
  bond, but there's with this type of charge.
• 1:10:15
  DCBS has been involved not only with the events charge, but also
• 1:10:20
  in the past and we talked with Mr. Stockton about doing a
• 1:10:24
  reorder to get some DCBS records, which we should be
• 1:10:28
  getting to the court very soon. And there's actually some out of
• 1:10:31
  state records that we may be looking to get.
• 1:10:34
  What kind of time frame you talking about for discovery to
• 1:10:36
  be completed? Well, with DCBS records that,
• 1:10:40
  you know, they, they have to do a review on their end.
• 1:10:42
  Tell me the time period. You know, I'd say a few months
• 1:10:45
  at least. What what, what's his bond?
• 1:10:49
  I believe his bond is currently 25,000 cash.
• 1:10:52
  He can make a $5000 bond at the court.
• 1:10:55
  We're willing to consider at a 50,010%.
• 1:10:59
  What's the Commonwealth's position?
• 1:11:01
  Yeah, my constructions are specifically we have come to an
• 1:11:04
  understanding on the bond today then just got the schedule of
• 1:11:09
  bond here. OK, well, let's schedule what
• 1:11:12
  are what. Are the total charges that
• 1:11:13
  Commonwealth seeks to advance in this case.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah, like multiple counts of criminal abusions, first degree,
• 1:11:22
  assault in the second degree, on endangerment in the first
• 1:11:26
  degree. Well, we're going to have to
• 1:11:28
  have a bond hearing on this. The Commonwealth has have a
• 1:11:31
  position and you can't negotiate.
• 1:11:33
  So let's schedule a a bond hearing on June the 25th.
• 1:11:38
  OK, June 25th, thank you. June 25th Elmo versus James
• 1:11:43
  Flowers James Flowers. He's done.
• 1:11:47
  He's not got up there yet and he's still that stuff.
• 1:11:51
  He's. Indigenous got to go down and
• 1:11:53
  get it go. Down and get it.
• 1:11:58
  Commonwealth versus Thomas O'Donnell.
• 1:12:04
  Commonwealth versus Thomas O'Donnell Excuse me, 22 CR 00103
• 1:12:09
  Are you Thomas O'Donnell? Yes, Sir.
• 1:12:11
  Were you born in 1961? The.
• 1:12:14
  Last four, three, we have an ex parte motion that will be heard
• 1:12:19
  later, is that correct? And then there is a motion to
• 1:12:23
  release property. It's a vehicle to come to the
• 1:12:27
  Commonwealth. Moves the court to enter an
• 1:12:28
  order releasing A2. Well, I'm fixed to tell you what
• 1:12:32
  it is here. 2017 Ram dually truck and gives a serial number
• 1:12:38
  to Paul Willham. Now, who is Paul Willham?
• 1:12:42
  Is this the victim's truck that we're talking about?
• 1:12:44
  I. Understand there's an order.
• 1:12:46
  OK, I will. I will sign the order.
• 1:12:48
  I just want to make sure Paul Wilhelm is an heir or is that
• 1:12:52
  correct? Is that correct?
• 1:12:55
  So the Commonwealth has agreed to release the truck to Paul
• 1:12:58
  Wilhelm, is that correct? I'll enter the order.
• 1:13:01
  Next matter has to do with sentencing.
• 1:13:05
  Mr. O'Donnell, have you had an opportunity to review the pre
• 1:13:07
  sentence investigation report done by Probation and Parole?
• 1:13:11
  Is it substantially correct? Yes.
• 1:13:14
  OK. Is there any reason this
• 1:13:16
  gentleman should not be sentenced today?
• 1:13:18
  You have any statements? OK.
• 1:13:21
  Mr. O'Donnell. O'Donnell, you tried by a jury
• 1:13:28
  here in Cumberland County, had a lengthy trial.
• 1:13:32
  You were afforded every opportunity and a valid defense.
• 1:13:35
  Expert witnesses, that sort of thing.
• 1:13:38
  The jury's found you guilty of murder and sent you to life.
• 1:13:43
  I've carefully reviewed this case.
• 1:13:47
  I've read all of the statements, reviewed all of the information
• 1:13:51
  that was there. I was particularly touched by
• 1:13:54
  the victims statements. The relatives, the deceased
• 1:14:00
  victim's mother made a very poignant statement.
• 1:14:05
  I don't know whether I assume that she's still alive.
• 1:14:09
  She had very serious kidney cancer and lost her son, lost a
• 1:14:17
  caretaker. I had to suffer through two
• 1:14:20
  years or so since since you committed this crime with the
• 1:14:25
  doubt she expressed as the daughter did and the son who
• 1:14:29
  testified in this case, what affect your terrible, horrendous
• 1:14:35
  actions had on that family? Your actions have had a terrible
• 1:14:40
  impact on this community. This community is not a violent
• 1:14:45
  community. We have very few murders that
• 1:14:48
  are committed here. You never stepped up and
• 1:14:52
  accepted responsibility for your actions.
• 1:14:55
  And I looked at you very carefully, even when there was
• 1:14:59
  description of the state of the victims, the body, the how he
• 1:15:04
  was decomposed after you left him over there having shot him
• 1:15:08
  twice in the head and twice in the body.
• 1:15:11
  His body decomposed. The autopsy when they we opened,
• 1:15:15
  I won't even go into the details, but the autopsy would
• 1:15:19
  be something that these jurors or anyone who saw this case and
• 1:15:23
  this family could never get out of their mind.
• 1:15:26
  And then I look at your record, a very sparse record of any
• 1:15:30
  criminal activity, and I wonder how you got in this situation.
• 1:15:35
  You spent days at this trial and with your very able counsel
• 1:15:40
  trying to discredit witnesses who were going to locate the 2
• 1:15:43
  cell phones here that they could track from California to Texas
• 1:15:47
  to hear over to the scene. They gave evidence how you
• 1:15:51
  stayed in a hotel down in Cookland.
• 1:15:54
  Look to the exact address where this murder was.
• 1:15:57
  Your DNA was now in the in the vehicle.
• 1:16:00
  And after all this sort of thing, toward the end, you tried
• 1:16:04
  to create a situation where you were there.
• 1:16:07
  I don't know why you wasted everybody's time and effort
• 1:16:10
  going through all this challenge this forensic evidence when
• 1:16:13
  you're going to your your folks are going to say that and I will
• 1:16:16
  tell you something else counsel. You know, I thought long and
• 1:16:20
  hard about your closing argument in this case where you put forth
• 1:16:23
  your theory of the case without any evidence.
• 1:16:26
  What so so in existence out of a whole cloth.
• 1:16:31
  So this I practice offered 45 years.
• 1:16:36
  This is one of the most cold blooded heinous acts that I've
• 1:16:39
  ever seen anybody committed. I don't know how we the
• 1:16:42
  background I saw from you. You got your mind to do this.
• 1:16:46
  I, I'll never understand how you could, you know, come up with
• 1:16:50
  this plot, use the burner phones to make the appointments, go
• 1:16:55
  over there and call a guy that's just trying to make a living,
• 1:16:58
  call him over there thinking he was going to get a job and just
• 1:17:01
  cold heartedly murder him and leave him there to decompose.
• 1:17:06
  So maybe you'll have time to accept your actions while you're
• 1:17:11
  there. But I'm going to send it to you
• 1:17:12
  to life in prison. And I'll just tell you that I
• 1:17:15
  think that that is, is most deserved.
• 1:17:19
  And if this had been a death penalty case, you know, I, I
• 1:17:23
  would have been surprised. Whatever whatsoever that you
• 1:17:26
  would have been sentenced to death in the electric chair.
• 1:17:29
  So you're in the custody of the Department of Corrections to
• 1:17:31
  serve the rest of your natural life in the penitentiary.
• 1:17:35
  Thank you. Take him out here.
• 1:17:37
  Your Honor, I do have an order to appoint to allow him to
• 1:17:40
  proceed in terms of this appeal effect.
• 1:17:42
  Submit it. I approach with it.
• 1:17:44
  Give it to the bails. You can take him out.
• 1:17:46
  I'd like to speak to the the attorneys up here for a second.
• 1:17:49
  Mr. Hundley, will you come up here?
• 1:17:53
  I had great concern. Agnabbit, I was hoping he would
• 1:17:56
  leave, he'd leave his mic hot there.
• 1:17:59
  The fact that he was aggravated obviously, and for good reason.
• 1:18:04
  But at what caught me at the very end, and I don't know if he
• 1:18:06
  caught this, is that the attorney wanted to approach with
• 1:18:09
  a document and the judge is like, no, give it to my bailiff.
• 1:18:13
  So he did. He wasn't even happy with the
• 1:18:15
  attorneys on this one. Anywho, now I know what was
• 1:18:18
  going on when I paged through and he was talking about how we
• 1:18:20
  don't get many murders. Now we know we might come back
• 1:18:23
  to him later, but in the meantime, let's go back to Lake
• 1:18:25
  County, Ohio. New contestant for Judge
• 1:18:29
  O'Donnell. Thank you, Your Honor.
• 1:18:33
  We are here in the matter of the state of Ohio versus Jeremy
• 1:18:36
  Williams, case number 26 CR 000369.

  All right, Miss Novotny. Yes, Your Honor, that is
• 1:19:04
  correct. Ultimately, before coming into
• 1:19:06
  court today, Mr. Williams and I went over the waiver of
• 1:19:09
  indictment as well as the written plea of guilty forms.
• 1:19:12
  He is aware of what this proceeding will entail and would
• 1:19:15
  like to enter a plea of guilty to the charge all.

  Right. Thank you.

• 1:19:48
  Just doing it. I stopped doing it, OK, to
• 1:19:52
  affect your ability to understand what's going on here
• 1:19:54
  today. No, Sir, did.
• 1:19:56
  You get a copy of the information filed in this case,
• 1:19:59
  yes. Any questions about it?
• 1:20:02
  No. You understand you have a right
• 1:20:04
  to have your case presented to the grand jury for them to
• 1:20:06
  decide whether or not to indict you?
• 1:20:08
  Yes. Did you discuss that right with
• 1:20:10
  your attorney? Yes.
• 1:20:11
  And are you going to waive that right?
• 1:20:13
  Yes. Your Honor, and open court,

  myself and my client signed the waiver indictment and passed it
• 1:20:23
  to the prosecutor, no witnesses saying.
• 1:20:26
  And I also witnessed the defendant signed the waiver of
• 1:20:28
  indictment. I have signed it with your
• 1:20:29
  permission. We'll return it to the bench
• 1:20:31
  and. I'll accept the waiver of
• 1:20:34
  indictment now. Before I accept your guilty

• 1:20:42
  your guilty plea and the maximum penalty I could give you.
• 1:20:45

• 1:20:48
  freely, knowingly and voluntarily.
• 1:20:49
  I'm going to ask you some questions.
• 1:20:52

• 1:20:54
  If you want to talk to Miss Novotny some more, let me know
• 1:20:56
  and I'll give you more time. You understand that?
• 1:20:59
  OK. Do you have a constitutional
• 1:21:01
  right to have a trial either to me or to a jury of 12 Lake
• 1:21:04
  County citizens? Do you understand that, right?
• 1:21:07
  Yes. Are you waving that right?
• 1:21:09
  Yes. If you go to a jury trial, all
• 1:21:11
  12 members must agree to a guilty verdict before you can be
• 1:21:14
  found guilty. Do you understand that, Right?
• 1:21:16
  Yes. Are you waving that right?

• 1:21:25
  reasonable doubt at a trial? Yes.

• 1:21:31
  you have the constitutional right to have your lawyer cross
• 1:21:34
  examine those witnesses. Do you understand that right?
• 1:21:37
  Are you waving that right? If you go to trial, you have the
• 1:21:40
  right to have witnesses come and testify for you.
• 1:21:43
  Do you understand that right? Are you waving that right?
• 1:21:46
  If those witnesses refuse to come to court, I'll issue an
• 1:21:49
  order, call the subpoena to make them testify.
• 1:21:51
  Do you understand that right? Are you waving that right?
• 1:21:55
  You have the right to testify a trial if you want to.
• 1:21:57
  Do you understand that right? Yes.
• 1:21:59
  Are you waving that right? Yes.
• 1:22:01

• 1:22:03
  you do not want to. Do you understand that, right?

  a lawyer represent you in the appeal, if you understand that
• 1:22:27
  right. Are you waving that right?
• 1:22:30

• 1:22:32
  at no cost to you. Do you understand that?
• 1:22:35
  If you file an appeal, you're entitled to have a transcript of
• 1:22:38
  all the hearings in this case, Do you understand that right?
• 1:22:41
  Are you waving that right? If you could not afford a copy
• 1:22:44
  of those transcripts, they'd be given to you at no cost.
• 1:22:46
  Do you understand that if you plead guilty today, you will not
• 1:22:49
  have the right to appeal the guilty finding?
• 1:22:51
  Do you understand that? Yes.
• 1:22:53
  Do you have any questions about any of these rights?
• 1:22:56
  No. Do you still want to plead
• 1:22:57
  guilty to this charge? Yes.
• 1:23:00
  Do you understand by pleading guilty or fully admitting your
• 1:23:02
  guilt to the charge? Yes.
• 1:23:04
  You understand by pleading guilty to this felony that
• 1:23:06
  you're voluntarily giving up your freedom for whatever period
• 1:23:09
  of time I could sent you to prison, to jail, or to community
• 1:23:12
  control. Yes.
• 1:23:15
  This charge of failure to comply is a felony of the 4th degree
• 1:23:19
  occurs an 18 month maximum prison sentence and a $5000
• 1:23:23
  maximum fine. Do you understand that?
• 1:23:25
  Do you understand that this guilty plea will result in a
• 1:23:30
  driver's license suspension of at least three years up to your
• 1:23:33
  lifetime? Do you understand that if a
• 1:23:36
  prison term is imposed in this case, you might have to serve a
• 1:23:39
  period of post release control? Is it a two year discretionary
• 1:23:45
  or is it a one to three? You might have to serve a period
• 1:23:50
  of post release control for up to two years under the direction
• 1:23:53
  of the parole authority. If you are placed on post
• 1:23:56
  release control and violate any conditions of parole authority
• 1:23:59
  can send you back to prison for up to nine months.
• 1:24:03
  Do you understand that? If that violation of post
• 1:24:05
  release control is a new felony, you could get an additional
• 1:24:08
  consecutive prison sentence for the violation.
• 1:24:10
  Do you understand that? That would recur?
• 1:24:13
  The maximum prison sentence for that violation would be the
• 1:24:16
  greater of 12 months or the time left under post release control.
• 1:24:19
  Do you understand that? Yes.
• 1:24:21
  Do you understand that if a prison term is imposed, you are
• 1:24:25
  eligible for judicial release? Yes.
• 1:24:27
  I could place you on community control for up to five years,
• 1:24:31
  but if you violate any conditions, I could send you to
• 1:24:33
  prison for 18 months. Do you understand that?
• 1:24:36
  Yes. Has anybody promised you that I
• 1:24:38
  would be lenient on you just because you're pleading guilty
• 1:24:40
  today? No.
• 1:24:41
  Has anybody promised you what I would sent you to in this case?
• 1:24:44
  No. Do you understand I don't have
• 1:24:46
  to follow the sentencing recommendation of either the
• 1:24:49
  prosecutor or your lawyer? Yes.
• 1:24:51
  Yes. Have you had enough time to talk
• 1:24:53
  to Miss Novotny before pleading guilty today?
• 1:24:56
  Yes. Has she discussed everything
• 1:24:57
  about your case and answered all of your questions?
• 1:25:00
  Yes. Are you satisfied with the
• 1:25:01
  advice she has given you? Yes.
• 1:25:03
  Have you been threatened or coerced in any way to plead
• 1:25:06
  guilty today? Yes.
• 1:25:07
  Have you? Been threatened or coerced?
• 1:25:10
  Oh no. Muffled.
• 1:25:13
  Are you freely, knowingly and voluntarily entering your
• 1:25:15
  guilty? Plea.
• 1:25:17
  Yes. Do you have any questions at
• 1:25:18
  this point? No.
• 1:25:20
  Is Johnson the case with the trial?
• 1:25:22
  The evidence show. Had this matter proceeded to
• 1:25:25
  trial, the state would have shown that honor.
• 1:25:27
  About the 11th day of March in Lake County, Ohio, the defendant
• 1:25:31
  did operate a vehicle so as to woefully elude and flee
• 1:25:34
  Willoughby Hills police officers after receiving both visible and
• 1:25:37
  audible signals to stop the vehicle.
• 1:25:39
  The pursuit lasted approximately 6 miles, beginning on Interstate
• 1:25:43
  Route 90 and continuing on to Interstate Route 271, reaching
• 1:25:47
  speeds of up to approximately 120 miles an hour.
• 1:25:50
  The pursuit ended when the defendant voluntarily pulled the
• 1:25:53
  vehicle over. Thank you.
• 1:25:56
  Thank you, Stefani. Anything to add to those facts?
• 1:26:00
  Just your honor, once he was voluntarily pulled over, he was
• 1:26:03
  cooperative with officers. All right, Mr. Williams, did you
• 1:26:06
  hear what Miss Johnson said? That the facts would show if the
• 1:26:10
  case went to a trial. Yes.
• 1:26:12
  Are those facts true? Yes.
• 1:26:14
  What is your plea to failure to comply with the order of signal
• 1:26:17
  of a police officer a felony for?
• 1:26:19
  Guilty. About me.
• 1:26:35
  It's 52727. Your Honor and open court,
• 1:26:43
  myself and my clients sign the waiver or written plea of guilty
• 1:26:46
  form and pass it to prosecute a witness the same and I also.
• 1:26:51
  Witnessed The defendant signed the written plea of guilty.
• 1:26:53
  I have also signed it with your permission on returning to the
• 1:26:55
  bench. Sir Williams, is this your
• 1:27:03
  signature on the written plea of guilty?
• 1:27:06
  Yes. Did you sign it voluntarily?
• 1:27:08
  Yes. Do you want me to accept your
• 1:27:09
  written plea of guilty? Yes, I accept the written plea
• 1:27:12
  of guilty. Defendant was President.
• 1:27:14
  Miss Novanti advised all of his rights for the Knowing
• 1:27:16
  intelligent voluntary waiver. He understands the nature of the
• 1:27:19
  charge. A consequence of his guilty plea
• 1:27:21
  in the maximum penalty find out to be Knowing, intelligent,
• 1:27:24
  voluntary, will accept the plea of guilty and find him guilty of
• 1:27:26
  failure to comply a felony 4 I'll refer this for a presence
• 1:27:30
  report in a drug and alcohol evaluation.
• 1:27:33
  Sentencing it'll be July 1 at 2:00 PM Snovani.
• 1:27:37
  Yes, your Honor. At this time, we would like the
• 1:27:39
  court to consider a bond modification to remove the GPS
• 1:27:42
  monitor off of Mr. Williams. Ever since he's had it on since
• 1:27:46
  Willoughby, he has been very cooperative with it.
• 1:27:50
  Ultimately, he's been following all the bond conditions.
• 1:27:53
  That was a set of him with no drive.
• 1:27:55
  Well. Almost all of them.
• 1:27:56
  Almost. You're right, Your Honor, with
• 1:27:58
  no driving specifically. He's 21 years old, Your Honor,
• 1:28:02
  he graduated high school. He does have a job at Speedway.
• 1:28:05
  He is indigent and requires the help of the public defender.
• 1:28:08
  Once it the case comes over to Will from Willoughby, Miss Court
• 1:28:11
  to the Common Pleas Court. It's client funded at that
• 1:28:14
  point. And I know funds are short for
• 1:28:16
  Mr. Williams with that respect. And we would ask the court to
• 1:28:20
  see if they would be able to consider removing the GPS
• 1:28:23
  monitor. It's Johnson.
• 1:28:26
  The state would largely defer to the court as to the GPS monitor.
• 1:28:29
  I will just note the obvious concern is that he has fled and
• 1:28:34
  eluded from police before, so I think it it is useful to have
• 1:28:38
  the GPS. Monitor on.
• 1:28:39
  All right, I'm going to remove the GPS monitor as a condition
• 1:28:42
  of bond, but but you did you know it's a violation of your
• 1:28:48
  bond to smoke pot? Yes, Sir.
• 1:28:50
  OK, so you're doing it. Why knock it off?
• 1:28:54
  Just. Because if you do it again,
• 1:28:57
  you're going to sit in jail until you get sentenced.
• 1:29:00
  Anything else, Miss Johnson? No thank you.
• 1:29:03
  No, thank you. All right.
• 1:29:10
  It's TCF live, my friends. Half the show in the books
• 1:29:13
  already. Time flies.
• 1:29:15
  Let's go back up to Michigan. Check in with Judge De Santo,
• 1:29:20
  new contestant there. All right, so let's go on the
• 1:29:24
  record in the matter of Danielle Butler 24720.
• 1:29:30
  Your Honor, Good morning, Richard P Serrano, P33828.
• 1:29:33
  Today, Your Honor, I appears on my DC Council show.
• 1:29:36

• 1:29:40
  state your name for the record. All right, And so good morning.
• 1:29:44

• 1:29:47
  had pled guilty to the show cause November 5th of 2025 on
• 1:29:51
  the $12198.40 balance, you are going to pay $25 per month
• 1:29:56
  beginning December 1st. It appears as though you made
• 1:29:59
  two months of payments because your balance is now $12141.40,
• 1:30:05
  but you must have stopped making payments because you're back
• 1:30:07
  here in court. That's correct, Your honor,
• 1:30:09
  She's not employed. Those are the mother's single.
• 1:30:12
  She's down in probation of both spending.
• 1:30:14
  She's looking for work. She's.
• 1:30:17
  I'm going to plead guilty to. The choke cause and wants to get
• 1:30:20
  back on a regular payment program of. 20 a month.
• 1:30:23
  Well, hold on a minute. Hold on ma'am, Why are you not
• 1:30:27
  working? Because I don't have a job.
• 1:30:30
  Yes, I understand you don't have a job.
• 1:30:32
  Why do you not have a job? I should have.
• 1:30:34
  I should have clarified my question.
• 1:30:37
  I'm not sure why I don't have a job.
• 1:30:39
  I mean, I haven't been getting big slides.
• 1:30:42
  I've been going to 10 agencies, knowledge agencies have any job
• 1:30:47
  openings or they just require too much experience that I don't
• 1:30:53
  have and they don't train for the experience.
• 1:30:56
  OK. And how old are you?
• 1:30:57
  25. And where have you worked?
• 1:31:01
  I worked at warehouses, I worked at houses, definitely.
• 1:31:05
  OK, so how are you supporting yourself if you're not working
• 1:31:09
  I'm? Not going to do what I've got to
• 1:31:12
  do. She lives with their mother.
• 1:31:14
  She helps out. What does I do?
• 1:31:16
  What I got to do mean? What is it I mean?
• 1:31:18
  I mean, sometimes I ask, but I don't have no job so I can't.
• 1:31:22
  I don't. So what do you do all day?
• 1:31:25
  Do you want it? But I mean, are you?
• 1:31:28
  I mean. I mean, I'm, I'm unemployed so I
• 1:31:31
  there's not much to do all that. I'm confused on your question,
• 1:31:35
  ma'am. Well, how many places are you
• 1:31:38
  applying to every day? Maybe 10 more. 10 a day.
• 1:31:42
  Correct. And so how long have you been
• 1:31:46
  doing that? Since September.
• 1:31:50
  So it's 10 today since September and you don't have any actions
• 1:31:58
  for work? Nobody's replying back and my
• 1:32:01
  phone is broken so I can't really receive calls or text
• 1:32:05
  messages like that. OK, well, so ma'am, do you have
• 1:32:12
  a car? Somebody told me that's the
• 1:32:15
  whole predicament. And so do you have a valid
• 1:32:22
  license? Yes.
• 1:32:24
  So do you have a card that you, I mean, could you drop your mom
• 1:32:26
  off at work and then you could maybe DoorDash or Uber or
• 1:32:30
  something to give you some type of income Instacart shopper?
• 1:32:36
  I can't do that with my mom car. Now I've answered I can't.
• 1:32:40
  I mean it's really not many ways that I get money.
• 1:32:43
  That's why I pay what I can. That's why I asked to do $20.00
• 1:32:47
  a month instead of 25 because it's still service fees when I
• 1:32:51
  pay them a month. Well, no, there there are, Yes.
• 1:32:56
  Well, I don't know how. Do you have an e-mail account?
• 1:33:01
  Yeah. Do you have a way to check your
• 1:33:03
  e-mail? Yeah.
• 1:33:04
  So are you receiving any e-mail responses?
• 1:33:08
  There you say when I do receive emails, I respond back to them.
• 1:33:15
  It's very perplexing that you've been submitting 10 job
• 1:33:18
  applications at least per day since September and you don't
• 1:33:23
  have any employment. No, jobs aren't highly.
• 1:33:27
  I'm not the only person I have been marked.
• 1:33:32
  Replied at any of the the auto companies or any other warehouse
• 1:33:38
  jobs. I understand those places are
• 1:33:41
  hiring often. Yeah, anyone, I call it, they
• 1:33:47
  tell me that they do not have any jobs.
• 1:33:51
  I apply on Indeed, Indeed. That's a little much.
• 1:33:53
  They don't want to be buying that.
• 1:33:55
  It's not really that you need jobs sites to apply unless
• 1:34:01
  they're just taking your information.
• 1:34:04
  I don't really need not. And if you tested it, ma'am,
• 1:34:07
  what's in your system, $20.00 per month beginning month?
• 1:34:13
  Works better for earlier. I'm sorry.
• 1:34:15
  The end of the month works best for her that 20.
• 1:34:17
  June 26th. That's the last Friday of the
• 1:34:20
  month. When you say somebody else,
• 1:34:23
  because that was my question before.
• 1:34:25
  Yes, Your Honor, if she has a question about the fees that are
• 1:34:32
  charged, who did she discuss that with?
• 1:34:35
  The fees. Yes.
• 1:34:38
  Well, the fees that I assessed it sentencing.
• 1:34:42
  You're talking about the like the fees when you pay.
• 1:34:46
  I guess because when I first got off the probation my NB it is
• 1:34:51
  1269 and then when I see still like I owe it's 1241 and I.
• 1:34:57
  Right. So there there would have been
• 1:34:59
  late fees added on. Latest news to what?
• 1:35:05
  Do not pay. I've paid everything, I've paid
• 1:35:08
  everything so that's why I was confused on what like.
• 1:35:13
  OK, So what I would do then, ma'am, is I would go over to
• 1:35:16
  probation, ask for a print out of the fines and costs, the
• 1:35:22
  assessments and then what your payments are.
• 1:35:24
  That will help give you an idea as to why the balance is what it
• 1:35:29
  is. And if there's a, if there's an
• 1:35:32
  error, then we can discuss it and correct it where it needs to
• 1:35:36
  be corrected. All right, And then continue
• 1:35:39
  submitting 50 job applications per week.
• 1:35:42
  Thank you, Ron all. Right, have a good day.
• 1:35:44
  Okie dokie friends, before I get off on the rant that I'm about
• 1:35:47
  to get off on Barbara because I forgot to acknowledge this
• 1:35:51
  earlier and my apologies, thank you for the $5 super chat.
• 1:35:54
  What a happy day. We're getting some great court
• 1:35:57
  here today. Thanks Dan, Best Hope host on
• 1:36:00
  YouTube. I appreciate that very much.
• 1:36:02
  Thank you, Barbara. So let's do math on this lady.
• 1:36:06
  So giving her a whole bunch of benefit of the doubt, let's say
• 1:36:11
  she says she started in September.
• 1:36:13
  Let's say that means October 1st.
• 1:36:16
  That means there were 238 days that have passed between October
• 1:36:21
  1st and today. Let's give her a further benefit
• 1:36:24
  of the doubt and cut that number in half because you know,
• 1:36:27
  weekends and holidays and I'm just not feeling well days and
• 1:36:30
  all of that. That leaves 119.
• 1:36:32
  Let's multiply that by ten. That means by her number, she
• 1:36:36
  has applied to 1190 jobs and still has not managed to find
• 1:36:41
  employment. I don't buy it.
• 1:36:42
  Shut the F up. This stuff drives me up a
• 1:36:48
  fricking wall because I've spent my life working hard, finding
• 1:36:54
  ways to make things worth work. I've spent the last almost 20
• 1:36:59
  years now self-employed so I have no safety net, no anything.
• 1:37:04
  It is all on me, it's all on my wife, it's all on us and I hate
• 1:37:08
  the excuse of I can't find work. You're not sufficiently
• 1:37:11
  motivated. It's just that simple.
• 1:37:14
  I'm sorry I'm off on a ramp, but this stuff drives me nuts.
• 1:37:18
  It's not that she can't find work, it's that she can't wants
• 1:37:21
  to do. She wants some cushy things,
• 1:37:23
  somewhere that pays her ridiculous amounts of money
• 1:37:26
  where she doesn't have to think. That's what it comes down to
• 1:37:30
  anyways. So yeah, super generous math.
• 1:37:35
  If she's to be believed. She's applied to 1190 jobs and
• 1:37:40
  she still claims that she cannot find work.
• 1:37:45
  She. Deserves everything that she
• 1:37:48
  will get in my humble opinion. Allegedly.
• 1:37:51
  Okie dokie, Let's go to McNally. Go there.
• 1:37:57
  Yeah, on April 29th, 26th the operating while visibly
• 1:38:02
  impaired, I referred her for a screening and assessment.
• 1:38:07
  I got to tell you more things happen at fast food Dr. throughs
• 1:38:10
  than anything you know. But at any rate, so she was
• 1:38:13
  referred for a screening and assessment.
• 1:38:15
  If you had the opportunity to review the report with her and
• 1:38:17
  are there any material additions, corrections or
• 1:38:20
  deletions? Your Honor, I have had the
• 1:38:22
  opportunity thoroughly reviewed as well as my client.
• 1:38:26
  There are a couple of revisions that will requested Your Honor.
• 1:38:30
  Number one, my client. Lives pretty far from here.
• 1:38:34
  She's asking that the core consider at least a reported
• 1:38:37
  remain non reporting and she's also asking for a community
• 1:38:43
  service instead of for work program.
• 1:38:46
  She's starting a job on their full time.
• 1:38:48
  It's going to be pretty tough for her to work that out.
• 1:38:51
  PDF. That's all she's asking for.
• 1:38:54
  Well said that she'd appreciate. All right.
• 1:38:59
  Is there anything that you would like to tell me?
• 1:39:01
  Hello. There.
• 1:39:03
  Can you call in Mr. Urich for me real quick?
• 1:39:07
  Yes, Sir. What do you think would concern
• 1:39:09
  me here, young lady? No.
• 1:39:14
  Yes, again. OK, So you're 18 years old, You
• 1:39:18
  cannot leave the thing. You're almost twice the legal
• 1:39:22
  limit. And you're driving around in the
• 1:39:24
  drive through back and forth and people are reporting this is bad
• 1:39:29
  sign when you're 18 and you have a 148 on the breathalyzer.
• 1:39:33
  Mr. Urich, your name? Well, you're going to be happy.
• 1:39:36
  So you. Wouldn't have been wrong.
• 1:39:37
  Did you guys ever enact the cost of recovery ordinance?
• 1:39:40
  I'm sorry, say. That again, the cost of recovery
• 1:39:42
  ordinance. Do you guys have one?
• 1:39:44
  We do. OK, I'm just going to ask you to
• 1:39:46
  remind me on these. I'll, I'll authorize up to 150
• 1:39:50
  on a breathalyzer, 2 1/4 on the blood draw if it's a blood draw
• 1:39:55
  because there's a lot more time. But please write those on the
• 1:39:58
  stick form going forward if you want.
• 1:40:00
  OK, good enough. That's all I have to say.
• 1:40:02
  So I want you to understand that that that's my concern.
• 1:40:06
  Oh yes, I can. Clearly understand you're not,
• 1:40:08
  and you seem like a really nice girl and I'm only telling you
• 1:40:11
  that when I see people like 18/19/20 coming in here on drunk
• 1:40:16
  thrivings. I don't keep stats back here, I
• 1:40:19
  don't have time, but I'm telling them I hope you're going to take
• 1:40:23
  this seriously because there's a really good chance you're coming
• 1:40:27
  back. I'm only telling according to
• 1:40:30
  statistics that I have somewhere in the back of my brain here,
• 1:40:34
  you can't be out drinking shots and you've been drinking since
• 1:40:38
  you were 16. You reported I I appreciate your
• 1:40:41
  truthfulness. There's a difference when you
• 1:40:45
  start drinking and drive, especially at that age.
• 1:40:49
  That's all I'm going to say about it. 14 months probation.
• 1:40:52
  You cannot leave the state without the consent of the court
• 1:40:54
  or violate any law ordinance. If you change your address or
• 1:40:57
  place for employment, home telephone number, you must
• 1:41:00
  notify probation. You have to report as directed.
• 1:41:02
  No alcohol, no marijuana, no illegal controlled substances,
• 1:41:06
  Crate and poppy seeds and CBD oils are prohibited.
• 1:41:09
  Consuming food or other items containing those substances will
• 1:41:11
  be deemed A violation. I want you going to AANA in
• 1:41:15
  person, in person at least one time per week until you are in
• 1:41:19
  an outpatient treatment program. Once you get in outpatient, you
• 1:41:23
  no longer have to attend a A or NA.
• 1:41:25
  Every time you go you have to have the form sign.
• 1:41:29
  Have you been going to a A like? Do you have your proof?
• 1:41:33
  I've seen it in your own. You've been.
• 1:41:35
  OK, how many times is she gone? You gone every week and she was
• 1:41:38
  supposed to good continue going a a once a week until an hour
• 1:41:42
  gets down the victims impact panel serve four days jail
• 1:41:46
  credit one serve three. I can't let you do these by way
• 1:41:49
  of community service $35 a day charge for that 105 that's
• 1:41:52
  probably light. I should probably order more 300
• 1:41:56
  fines, 200 Goss, 75 victims rights fee $50 justice
• 1:41:59
  assessment 6 1/4 screening fees 60 for six, $8540 in attorney
• 1:42:05
  fees For 7/25. You have 150 in cost of recovery
• 1:42:10
  bringing a total to 875 plus probation fees of to 80.
• 1:42:15
  So your total is 1155 plus the court work program fees.
• 1:42:19
  The 1051260 is your total. If you violate your probation
• 1:42:23
  could be revoked. You could be incarcerated for 93
• 1:42:26
  days. You have 21 days to appeal and
• 1:42:28
  you have 14 days to apply for a floor to appointed lawyer for
• 1:42:31
  purposes of appeal. You may be eligible for early
• 1:42:34
  discharge. You get all this done in seven
• 1:42:36
  months. You can make a application for
• 1:42:38
  through early discharge and by law you're entitled to it
• 1:42:41
  provided there's been no violations within the preceding
• 1:42:44
  90 days. Again, if you violate, you could
• 1:42:47
  get 93 days. You have 21 days to appeal, 14
• 1:42:49
  days to apply for a court appointed lawyer.
• 1:42:51
  Do you fully understand the sentence, ma'am?
• 1:42:54
  OK, how much of this can you pay?
• 1:42:56
  And the other thing, and I don't want to get on you too much
• 1:42:58
  here, are you working? I am working right now to start
• 1:43:04
  a new job today where? OK, how many hours you're going
• 1:43:07
  to work? 30.
• 1:43:09
  OK, maybe they'll bump you to 40 or better.
• 1:43:12
  I don't know why you were terminated from Starbucks, but.
• 1:43:16
  I got to. Go ahead.
• 1:43:18
  I was terminated because then I that all of us that I had to go
• 1:43:22
  to work in the morning and I cannot.
• 1:43:24
  OK, you seem like a nice young lady.
• 1:43:28
  Grandma shouldn't be financially helping you unless your
• 1:43:31
  grandmother was. Yeah, she won't have you.
• 1:43:34
  All right, good enough. How much can she pay?
• 1:43:36
  Anything today or not? Not the day you run.
• 1:43:38
  She's deposing the payment arrangement About $75 a week
• 1:43:41
  starting June the 8th. That's what she gets.
• 1:43:43
  The first I'll give her stall. Let her start beginning June the
• 1:43:45
  15th. If you don't have the money at
• 1:43:47
  any time, no worries. All the court will go on zoom or
• 1:43:52
  you can come in here and talk to me and I'll be more than happy
• 1:43:55

• 1:48:02
  to have to stuff to the dump. And I have been.
• 1:48:05
  What kind of things? Right now I have everything on
• 1:48:07
  the trailer. What kind of things?
• 1:48:10
  Old, old fencing. It's just old fencing.
• 1:48:13
  I have a whole trailer ready to go to the what?
• 1:48:15
  What side of the road is that on?
• 1:48:17
  The east side. OK, so you're on the east side
• 1:48:19
  by where? Freedom.
• 1:48:22
  OK, I'm right by that. How close is your closest
• 1:48:25
  neighbor? Nobody behind me.
• 1:48:28
  I didn't ask you that. You got neighbors lining up next
• 1:48:30
  to you on the left and right, correct?
• 1:48:32
  Yeah. How far are they from you?
• 1:48:34
  One neighborhood, which is like 10 feet.
• 1:48:36
  And then no neighbor on the other side.
• 1:48:39
  Is is the house vacant on the other side?
• 1:48:41
  No, it's a empty lot. Yeah, it's a.
• 1:48:45
  Old. Property.
• 1:48:46
  That's in the like. Foreclosure.
• 1:48:48
  Your name. William, you're at the city.
• 1:48:50
  What? Are you on probation?
• 1:48:52
  Parole. Since he's on probation with
• 1:48:54
  Judge Hudson. For what?
• 1:48:56
  You better get going. You mean he's on probation for
• 1:48:59
  Judge Hudson and I'm giving him another 771 and he still hasn't
• 1:49:02
  cleaned it up. Is that true?
• 1:49:03
  It's it's for Calgary. Listen, I don't care what it's
• 1:49:07
  for. I'm not taking this under
• 1:49:09
  Section 771.1. If he's got another one going on
• 1:49:12
  over there under 771.1 and he hasn't followed her directive,
• 1:49:16
  that's just not a light issue on on the other, what's what's it
• 1:49:18
  for? There was, I believe when there
• 1:49:20
  was some road work done, they installed and driveways and he's
• 1:49:25
  got a gravel driveway, but they want him to go ahead and make a
• 1:49:29
  concrete driveway and then he's got another Blade case going,
• 1:49:33
  right? That's not Blade.
• 1:49:35
  Well, wait a minute, it's the CFO, OK?
• 1:49:37
  Same type of thing to mean that he's not following building
• 1:49:41
  block officials directives. What are you doing, Mr. Hub?
• 1:49:46
  I mean, listen to me. Is anybody forced to plead
• 1:49:49
  guilty? No.
• 1:49:50
  And he's on probation, you understand.
• 1:49:52
  Was he on probation on January 6th of 26th?
• 1:49:55
  No. No, I was not.
• 1:49:59
  OK. Well then that that is not a
• 1:50:00
  violation of probation and I'll accept your plea.
• 1:50:03
  I will take this under 771.1, but you and I are going to talk.
• 1:50:07
  Let me see the pictures you have there and you're going to get
• 1:50:10
  this done. And if you don't get it done,
• 1:50:13
  we're going to have a big problem.
• 1:50:15
  Now, they issued this citation in January and we're just
• 1:50:18
  getting around to May 27th. Peace.
• 1:50:22
  There's the degree that's on that prey load, which is what
• 1:50:25
  needs to be told off the property.
• 1:50:27
  I'm setting this for, I'm setting this for sentencing in a
• 1:50:30
  month and I'm coming out and looking.
• 1:50:33
  You don't have a problem with me coming onto your property, do
• 1:50:35
  you? You're going to have it done in
• 1:50:38
  a month. Yes, Sir.
• 1:50:40
  Find some other place to store your junk.
• 1:50:43
  Neighbors don't want to look at this.
• 1:50:45
  When we first got our property, our property's B3 commercial,
• 1:50:51
  they said he could put our fencing material behind the
• 1:50:54
  garage, which that that was our understanding of when we fenced.
• 1:50:59
  By. Who's they?
• 1:51:01
  The city? What's who's they?
• 1:51:03
  From the city building official. I guess.
• 1:51:05
  Do you know who it was? I do believe John Tackett.
• 1:51:09
  Was there a John Tackett in the building department?
• 1:51:12
  I'm not familiar. How many years ago, back in
• 1:51:15
  2020, I don't remember a John Tackett.
• 1:51:17
  But I believe that the inspector that's here, she did verified
• 1:51:20
  that that is the loss. I did ask her that question.
• 1:51:23
  Where is she? She's she's in the jury room.
• 1:51:26
  Get her in here, please, Mr. Opt I, I, I personally, these are
• 1:51:30
  not. I can take that trailer to the
• 1:51:33
  dock today. And.
• 1:51:35
  Move them to Colorado or something.
• 1:51:37
  What did you mean please? Laura Jensen.
• 1:51:40
  Was was Mr. Tackett your boss? When was he there?
• 1:51:46
  I do not. Know he's telling me that the
• 1:51:48
  the building official said he was going to be able to dump old
• 1:51:52
  fences back there. Is that what you told me?
• 1:51:54
  Not double fence. I could keep my fencing
• 1:51:56
  material. That is like stage for jobs.
• 1:52:00
  That's different than yeah. Do you have any reason to
• 1:52:03
  believe that Mister Tackett did or didn't say that?
• 1:52:06
  I would have to believe that he did.
• 1:52:09
  Not. So would I.
• 1:52:10
  That's why I called you in, Mr. Hobbs.
• 1:52:13
  Do you have this in writing? I'm giving you a sentence date
• 1:52:18
  in a month. I would like us all to meet out
• 1:52:20
  there. This is a Wednesday morning
• 1:52:22
  Heather. Let's make sure it's not going
• 1:52:25
  to interfere with sobriety court.

• 1:52:30
  be there at 8:15. So if we're doing 4 weeks from
• 1:52:33
  now, we can all be there. Any problem with that Mister Opt

  purposes of a change of plea in accordance with the plea
• 1:54:22
  agreement. It's been reached between the
• 1:54:23
  parties, the police. The court put the terms of the
• 1:54:26
  agreement on the record that defendant, pursuant to the
• 1:54:29
  agreement, will withdraw his previously entered plea of not
• 1:54:32
  guilty, will plead guilty to Count 2.

  That's an F3 failure to comply. Upon the condition of that.

  state would move to dismiss the other counts on the indictment
• 1:54:45
  as the sentencing. The state will review the pre
• 1:54:48
  sentence report prior to making the sentencing recommendation.
• 1:54:51
  The defendant can request any sentencing recommendation that
• 1:54:55
  is available that he wants. And that's it.
• 1:54:57
  Thank you. Thank God all that is accurate.
• 1:55:03

• 1:56:33
  penalty I could give you. And I need to be satisfied that

  question, stop me. If you want to talk to Mr.

  to a jury of 12 Lake County citizens.
• 1:56:55
  Do you understand that right? Yes.
• 1:56:57
  Are you waving that right? Yes.
• 1:56:59

  guilty verdict before you can be found guilty.
• 1:57:04
  Do you understand that, right? Yes.

• 1:59:04
  Yes, Sir. And count to failure to comply
• 1:59:07
  as a felony of the third degree, and that carries with it a

  maximum prison sentence of 60 months and a maximum fine of
• 1:59:14
  $10,000. Do you understand that?

• 1:59:34
  conviction will prevent you from owning or possessing A firearm?

• 1:59:42
  case, you will have to serve a period of post release control?
• 1:59:45
  Is it 18 months or is it 1, 1, one to three years?
• 1:59:52
  At least one year up to three years.
• 1:59:54
  You'd have to serve post release control under the parole
• 1:59:57
  authority. They will place conditions on
• 2:00:00
  you. If you violate the conditions,
• 2:00:02
  they could return to prison for up to nine months for each
• 2:00:04
  violation. Up to 1/2 of my sentence.
• 2:00:06
  Do you understand that? Yes, Sir, if that.
• 2:00:09
  Violation is a new felony. You could get an additional
• 2:00:11
  consecutive prison sentence for that violation.
• 2:00:13
  Do you understand that? Yes, Sir, if that were to occur,
• 2:00:16

  greater of 12 months or the time left under post release control.
• 2:00:22
  Do you understand that? Yes, Sir.

  conditions, I could send you to prison for 60 months.
• 2:00:37
  Do you understand that? Yes, Sir.
• 2:00:39
  Has anybody promised you I would be lenient on you just because
• 2:00:42
  you're pleading guilty today? No, Sir.
• 2:00:44
  Has anybody promised you what I will sent you to in this case?
• 2:00:47
  No, Sir. Do you understand I do not have
• 2:00:49
  to follow a sentencing recommendation of either the
• 2:00:51
  prosecutor or your lawyer? Yes, I understand.
• 2:00:54
  Have you had enough time to talk to Mr. Mulkey before pleading
• 2:00:57
  guilty today? Yes, I do.
• 2:00:59
  Has he discussed everything about your case and answered all
• 2:01:01
  of your questions? Yes.
• 2:01:03
  Are you satisfied with the advice he has given you?
• 2:01:05
  Yes. Have you been threatened or
• 2:01:07
  coerced in any way to plead guilty today?
• 2:01:09
  No, Sir. Are you freely, knowingly and
• 2:01:11
  voluntarily entering your guilty plea?
• 2:01:14
  Yes. Do you have any questions at
• 2:01:15
  this point? No, Sir.
• 2:01:17
  Mr. de Piro, if the case went to travel with the evidence show
• 2:01:21
  yeah, the evidence would show March 16th, 2026 3:30. 8:00 in

  The officer asked him to get out of the car.

  Defendant then put his car in gear and drove away at a high
• 2:01:52
  rate of speed exceeding 60 mile an hour on Maple Grove, which is
• 2:01:56
  a residential St. and it's 35. Mile an hour.
• 2:01:59
  Speed limit at that point and he's crossing over double yellow

  lines into the opposite lane to pass other vehicles.
• 2:02:06
  Other reckless drivers of the officers had to pursue stop the
• 2:02:09
  pursuit they were following with lights and sirens.
• 2:02:14
  Based on the defendants the dangerous driving, they had to

  stop it about 25 minutes later in Wickliffe, that was in
• 2:02:20
  Willoughby, Lake County, Ohio. Wickliffe Lake County, Ohio
• 2:02:23
  About 25 minutes later on duty, police officers observed the

  defendant driving his vehicle completely over the left log
• 2:02:31
  line into the left hand shoulder, passing the vehicle to
• 2:02:35
  the left that had to. Move out of the.
• 2:02:36
  Way and brake so as to not get hit by the defendant with lights

  Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mulkey.
• 2:03:09
  Anything to add to those facts? No, Your Honor.
• 2:03:11
  Thank you. Mr. Thompson, did you hear what
• 2:03:13
  Mr. de Piro said that the facts would show if the case went to
• 2:03:16
  trial? Yes.
• 2:03:18
  Are those facts true? Yes, Sir.
• 2:03:20
  What is your plea to count? Too fair to comply with the
• 2:03:23
  order of signal of the police officer, A felony. 3 Guilty,
• 2:03:27
  Smokey. And this is that same paperwork
• 2:03:36
  that we went over this morning. OK
• 2:03:52
  52726. Your Honor, the defendant.
• 2:04:15
  Mr. Mulkey and I all signed the written plea of guilty form.
• 2:04:18
  With the court's permission, I'm approaching to present that
• 2:04:20
  form. To your honor.
• 2:04:25
  The written plea of guilty. Yes, Sir.
• 2:04:28
  Did you sign it voluntarily? Yes, Sir, do.
• 2:04:30
  You want me to accept your written plea of guilty?
• 2:04:33
  Yes, Sir. Acceptor and plead guilty.
• 2:04:36
  Defendant was President. Mr. Mulkey advised all of his
• 2:04:38
  rights but knowing intelligent voluntary waiver.
• 2:04:42
  He understands the nature of the charge.
• 2:04:43
  A consequence of his guilty plea in the maximum penalty fined to
• 2:04:46
  be knowing intelligent, voluntary will accept the plea
• 2:04:48
  of guilty and find him guilty of Count 2 there to comply a
• 2:04:52
  felony. 3 hour for this for a pre sentence report.
• 2:04:56
  Sentencing will be July 1 at 1:30 PM.
• 2:04:59
  Mr. Mulkey. Yes, Your Honor, as it relates
• 2:05:03
  to bond, my client would like the opportunity to be released
• 2:05:09
  on a reconnaissance bond. I believe he understands that if
• 2:05:12
  he fails to appear for court, that would involve a new felony
• 2:05:15
  charge, a felony for action for not showing up to court.
• 2:05:18
  He as he indicated, he's has experiences an HBAC tech.
• 2:05:23
  He's a member of Sheet Metal 33 Union.
• 2:05:26
  He also is willing to pursue work as a welder upon his
• 2:05:31
  release. My understanding is he does have
• 2:05:33
  five children ranging from ages as old as 16 years old to as
• 2:05:36
  young as 2 year old. He'd like to continue to be able
• 2:05:40
  to provide for them. He's willing to wear AGPS
• 2:05:44
  monitoring system appeared all future court appearances.
• 2:05:47
  Cooperate fully with probation for a pre sentence
• 2:05:50
  investigation. He's being properly medicated
• 2:05:53
  taking his his Lex Pro. He does well when he's taking
• 2:05:57
  his his medication. He wants to maintain a clean and
• 2:06:01
  sober life. He has a residence at 372 Haley
• 2:06:06
  Drive in Euclid, OH. He resides there with his
• 2:06:10
  mother. Judge, thank you.
• 2:06:12
  Shapiro State opposes that request.
• 2:06:17
  Bond is set at 200,000. Cash 30 of the conditions of GPS
• 2:06:21
  monitoring, MHA and no driving. Which is warranted.
• 2:06:25
  Based on the conduct here and back to the case, the nature of
• 2:06:28
  the offense, the defendant does that prior felony convictions,
• 2:06:32
  F3 burglary. Read that in Cuyahoga Common
• 2:06:36
  Pleas Court. We got community control in 2021
• 2:06:39
  with CBCF treatment in 2017 here in Lake Conway.
• 2:06:44
  He was convicted of an F3 tampering with evidence, served
• 2:06:47
  14 months in prison prior to that he has resisting arrest,
• 2:06:51
  unlawful transactions and weapons and misdemeanor and
• 2:06:54
  failure to comply actually if he has a misdemeanor.
• 2:06:58
  Failure to comply. Does that make this a mandatory
• 2:07:00
  lifetime driver's license suspension?
• 2:07:02
  It's my understanding is that on the paperwork, I, I didn't catch
• 2:07:06
  that part. So that would have to change.
• 2:07:10
  If he's got a prior failure to comply.
• 2:07:14
  I don't know if it's a felony or not.
• 2:07:15
  I'm going to look that up right now.
• 2:07:17
  I've been through this once before and I don't there's no
• 2:07:20
  distinction OK made between a felony and a misdemeanor failure
• 2:07:24
  to comply. No 2921. 3/3 of his license
• 2:07:36
  suspension. Did you have a prior failure to
• 2:07:38
  comply? Yeah, it would be 2921.331
• 2:07:44
  subsection E. So it's still a Class 2?
• 2:07:46
  Or is it a different classification?
• 2:07:50
  Well, it says you mean it's Class 2.
• 2:07:56
  It's a Class 2, which is 3 to life, three years to life as as
• 2:07:59
  it states in the paperwork. What I what I'm worried about?
• 2:08:02
  Is. Yeah, about midway down it says
• 2:08:05
  if the offender previously had been found guilty of an offense
• 2:08:08
  under this section, in addition to any other instinction, the
• 2:08:11
  court shall impose a class one suspension under 4510 O 2A1,
• 2:08:19
  which I believe is a lifetime suspension.
• 2:08:21
  We're going to look it up right now.
• 2:08:32
  Yeah. So this paperwork, Your Honor, I
• 2:08:36
  would ask the court to advise the defendant that his driver's
• 2:08:39
  license is going to be suspended for his lifetime because of this
• 2:08:44
  conviction. And we advised him based on, you
• 2:08:49
  know, what we had in here, that it was a three-year to life
• 2:08:51
  driver's license suspension, but that is inaccurate.
• 2:08:54
  It's actually a lifetime suspension.
• 2:08:59
  You understand that, Mister Thompson?
• 2:09:01
  Yes, Sir. It's a mandatory lifetime
• 2:09:04
  suspension. Mr. Mulkey, I'd ask you to take
• 2:09:06
  this back. And at the bottom of Page 2, you
• 2:09:10
  have Mr. Thompson initial in the margins.
• 2:09:13
  Yes. Do you want to verify that your
• 2:09:16
  client does have this misdemeanor failure to comply in
• 2:09:19
  Willoughby? I'm just seeing a note.
• 2:09:21
  I'm not looking at leads. So it's just the judgment of
• 2:09:28
  what medications you're on and this is.
• 2:09:30
  Like time. Suspension, so the initial that.
• 2:09:33
  There so. Suspended for life.
• 2:09:37
  I'm looking at a note in the file but it says M11.
• 2:09:40
  I'm not looking. At that all.
• 2:09:42
  Right. Well, if if it turns out that
• 2:09:45
  that's not the case, then it will be a Class 2.
• 2:09:48
  Thank you, Judge. Did you guys initial that?
• 2:09:55
  Is that what that is? Yeah.
• 2:09:57
  Something and then. That's his initials.
• 2:09:58
  OK, Rather than fed it and Mr. Malky initialed where you
• 2:10:02
  crossed that road, a lifetime suspension.
• 2:10:04
  So did I approach it to present it to you?
• 2:10:07
  All right, All right. Based on this offense and the
• 2:10:10
  history is indicated by Mr. De Piro, I'm going to revoke the
• 2:10:16
  defendant's pod. All righty friends, episode 298
• 2:10:31
  of TCF Live Today. We've got about 40 or so minutes
• 2:10:34
  to go. Haven't been here yet today.
• 2:10:37
  Let's go down to Texas and see what's going on with Judge
• 2:10:40
  Stevens. You're judge defounces.
• 2:10:43
  You're charged here with the second degree felony of
• 2:10:46
  aggravated assault. On.
• 2:10:50
  Which apparently you should. You punch somebody, a girl in
• 2:10:58
  the mouth, a member of your family and caused serious bodily
• 2:11:03
  injury. According to this, you're
• 2:11:06
  looking at up to 20 years in prison.
• 2:11:11
  OK, this is the caption on this judge.
• 2:11:15
  That's second degree, but it should be a first degree.
• 2:11:18
  Yeah. That I'm reading this says a
• 2:11:22
  member of defend his family. But in the probable cause
• 2:11:24
  affidavit, it goes on to state that the complainant, Miss Case,
• 2:11:28
  is the defendant's wife. That's correct, Carol, but they
• 2:11:32
  have different last names. Yes, Sir.
• 2:11:35
  There's no way to treat your wife, somebody you pledge love
• 2:11:40
  to. I've been married 40 years.
• 2:11:43
  I know how you're supposed to treat a lady, and that's his
• 2:11:48
  policy. Anyway, this is what it alleges.
• 2:11:51
  Unless, of course, she punched herself.
• 2:11:53
  In the mouth and. Created serious bodily injured,
• 2:11:57
  which I don't think Artillo Puente.
• 2:12:00
  Where's Miss Puente? OK.
• 2:12:05
  He's. Clear.
• 2:12:06
  Go. Yeah.
• 2:12:07
  Young. Just let me know what y'all want
• 2:12:08
  to do, OK. I'm sorry.
• 2:12:12
  Go away. Good.
• 2:12:13
  The state has been in office this morning.
• 2:12:15
  I have not had a chance to talk to him into Johnson about us
• 2:12:19
  talk to let me know. I'm going to put this in the
• 2:12:23
  slack. Yes, Sir, just Sonny Robertson.
• 2:12:31
  Just that right now the state has been up 10 years and she's.
• 2:12:36
  Wear a chain she's. Coming this come on, she's.
• 2:12:40
  Right there you're going to come.
• 2:12:41
  Back with any evidence. Johnson.
• 2:12:46
  I'm going to go talk in the house.
• 2:12:49
  You know currently the offer is a 10 year old 10 years offer and
• 2:12:53
  this Johnson does not want the 10 years he's charged with third
• 2:12:59
  degree felony of tampering or fabricating physical evidence.
• 2:13:02
  But this has concealing and firearm that was involved in the
• 2:13:08
  Commission of a homicide. That's that's why that offers me
• 2:13:11
  an 8 correct. And we're still actively
• 2:13:13
  investigating the homicide with her as a primary suspect judge
• 2:13:16
  all. Right.
• 2:13:19
  That's in that case. Either way, that doesn't measure
• 2:13:30
  in. OK.
• 2:13:32
  I understand. Four weeks ago.
• 2:13:34
  Is that what you're wanting or are you just made the maximum?
• 2:13:39
  Which if they're. Going to indict her on a
• 2:13:41
  homicide case, we'd be like. Well, I mean.
• 2:13:44
  Is that what they're going to do?
• 2:13:45
  I'm not. My.
• 2:13:47
  Words were they didn't say actively investigating.
• 2:13:50
  But this involves A homicide, correct?
• 2:13:55
  The tampering of evidence involving A homicide.
• 2:13:58
  So it that's why it's been indicted as a 33 felony.
• 2:14:02
  But homicide is a different crime and can be looked into.
• 2:14:07
  And if the grand jury decides this probable cause and they can
• 2:14:10
  indict it anyway, you just set it for trial.
• 2:14:14
  Yes, Sir. OK.
• 2:14:15
  It's going to be forwarded to trial and we get it to trial and
• 2:14:19
  get a resetting. Have a seat there before you
• 2:14:22
  leave. And I see Christopher Sally was
• 2:14:27
  reset, right? He's in.
• 2:14:29
  That's, that's good. What's that mean?
• 2:14:33
  Means we need to wait till we need to.
• 2:14:36
  You couldn't. Get him done.
• 2:14:38
  Left for him quickly in federal custody.
• 2:14:41
  False, yes. We don't know.
• 2:14:43
  Just found out he was in there this morning.
• 2:14:45
  So. We'll have to look into it you.
• 2:14:46
  Think it's a federal crime? No, I don't know it.
• 2:14:49
  Could be something else. Alberto Toledo, I'm working with
• 2:14:55
  the prosecution right now. I'm resolving budgets.
• 2:14:57
  Where's Mr. Folido, just to make sure he's OK?
• 2:14:59
  He's. I'm your grabbing judge.
• 2:15:01
  Is he? Outside.
• 2:15:02
  Yes, Sir. I was talking to him.
• 2:15:04
  OK? I just come in and I just wanted
• 2:15:07
  to wave his little hand. OK?
• 2:15:09
  So I know he's here. Alberto Folido, you have
• 2:15:14
  something. I'll.
• 2:15:15
  Do you come on in? You or Alberto Toledo, see.
• 2:15:26
  Correct. OK.
• 2:15:28
  Mr. Turk is your attorney. Avogadro.
• 2:15:31
  See. Right.
• 2:15:32
  OK. You speak English fluently.
• 2:15:35
  And do you speak Spanish too? Elizabeth muy buquito.
• 2:15:40
  All right, listen very clear closely.
• 2:15:44
  Alberto, you were charged with in this indictment right here.
• 2:15:48
  There you are. You got the.
• 2:15:50
  Attention. That's your name in this
• 2:15:51
  indictment right there. You're charged with a third
• 2:15:54
  degree felony of obstruction or retaliation, which states that
• 2:15:59
  you intensely or knowingly threatened to harm another
• 2:16:02
  person, that is to commit murder or aggravated assault in
• 2:16:09
  retaliation or that person being a public servant, namely a Port
• 2:16:16
  Arthur police officer. So I haven't read this.
• 2:16:18
  My guess is they stopped you for some reason and was talking to
• 2:16:24
  you and allegedly you threatened the officer for whatever reason.
• 2:16:31
  This is a third degree felony if convicted, which means you face
• 2:16:35
  up to 10 years in prison, which is serious.
• 2:16:40
  That's number one. Number two, there's a warrant
• 2:16:43
  for your arrest. You're in custody, the officer
• 2:16:47
  has a warrant and what is it for?
• 2:16:50
  Reckless driving. Reckless driving.
• 2:16:56
  So, so you're going to be put in custody and but we're going to
• 2:17:04
  leave you over there so your lawyer can talk to you, but
• 2:17:08
  you're not leaving the room until you go get processed
• 2:17:12
  through the jail. I think he was when he was
• 2:17:20
  placed under This is showing he was placed under arrest for
• 2:17:23
  reckless driving in this. So I guess that's what in this
• 2:17:27
  event. Then on the way to the jail, the
• 2:17:34
  defendant threatens to kill him if he sees the policeman out of
• 2:17:38
  uniform. He wasn't in trafficking due to
• 2:17:42
  to Toledo threatening death to me.
• 2:17:45
  I also placed him under rescue retaliation so it was out of the
• 2:17:48
  same event. I assume that they had arrested
• 2:17:53
  me for that already. Well, probably inebriation had
• 2:18:00
  something to do with it. Or maybe not.
• 2:18:04
  OK, let me know. He's he's in the.
• 2:18:06
  Bullpen. That way, John West.
• 2:18:11
  Not there. He's signing up people now.
• 2:18:16
  Sorry to hear that. Why are you here?
• 2:18:24
  Is it Alan Khan and Stallions? OK.
• 2:18:28
  Let's do that. Your ad is glowing.
• 2:18:35
  I know 26 CM. Who are you?
• 2:18:40
  Turf? Alan.
• 2:18:43
  I'm not there. It's Alan Taji Khan.
• 2:18:46
  Where's? What is that?
• 2:18:48
  Oh, my dad is from Pakistan. Oh, OK.
• 2:18:53
  Yeah, LA. I don't speak it.
• 2:18:55
  You don't sell it. I was my mother in reference
• 2:19:00
  Tappy too. Korea then just all right, you.
• 2:19:06
  Well, you know what your charts. And we're not going to embarrass
• 2:19:10
  everybody throwing that out there on the Internet.
• 2:19:14
  It's a stage F felony, though. It carries.
• 2:19:16
  It's a felony, which carries with it up to two years in the
• 2:19:18
  stage. Yeah.
• 2:19:19
  So it's serious. It's a felony.
• 2:19:20
  It's the most. It's the least serious felony,
• 2:19:23
  but still all felony for bad. Is Mr. Gertz going to be your
• 2:19:27
  lawyer? I.

• 2:21:48
  She's getting anywhere, but it's amusing.
• 2:21:54

  or more than two years, in addition to fines can be
• 2:24:28
  assessed not to exceed $10,000. Do you understand the punishment
• 2:24:32
  range you're facing? An.
• 2:24:39
  Agreement has been reached where you would be pleading guilty and
• 2:24:43
  placed on deferred or unadjudicated probation, which
• 2:24:47
  can be of the five years in length into my call.
• 2:24:50
  There's a recommendation here of two years we're going to get.
• 2:24:53
  To that in a little. Bit fine 5. $100 then there
• 2:24:56
  would be terms and submissions of probation, which are normal
• 2:24:59
  and customary. You do well.
• 2:25:01
  At the end it is dismissed. Is that your understanding of
• 2:25:05
  the class? If I follow this agreement, you
• 2:25:09
  have no right of appeal of your Kilosky, you understand?
• 2:25:33
  This screen is not showing data that the normal shows, but
• 2:25:44
  today's May 27th. Yes.
• 2:25:47
  Again, if I follow this agreement, you have no right of
• 2:25:51
  appeal of your case. Do you understand?
• 2:25:54
  How do you plead to this charge, guilty or not guilty?
• 2:25:58
  Are you pleading guilty voluntarily and because you are
• 2:26:01
  guilty? Yes, Sir, that's your final
• 2:26:05
  answer. Yeah.
• 2:26:08
  I'm going to show you what's marked as state's exhibit one.
• 2:26:11
  You're going to have to sign the bottom.
• 2:26:13
  You didn't sign the bottom of this, you're saying?
• 2:26:19
  Right. There where it says your name.
• 2:26:24
  Did you sign that document? Yes, Sir.
• 2:26:27
  Understand it. Discuss it with your attorney.
• 2:26:29
  Are the contents all true and correct?
• 2:26:31
  Yes, States Exhibit 1 is tendered into evidence.
• 2:26:34
  No objection. Without objection it's admitted
• 2:26:37
  it was and among other things, this states you are mentally
• 2:26:42
  competent to enter your guilty plea.
• 2:26:44
  It's freely involuntarily made. You know what you've been
• 2:26:46
  charged with the indictments been read to you.
• 2:26:48
  You've read it. You are guilty of the crime
• 2:26:50
  charged and any lesser included offenses.
• 2:26:53
  You're giving up your rights to a Jews trial and the rights to
• 2:26:55
  the appearance confrontation cross examine is true at stake
• 2:26:59
  so help you God correct State's exhibit one part of the record
• 2:27:04
  for all purposes is a precinct report way to yes your honor
• 2:27:07
  please I am going to follow this agreement Sir I'm going to find
• 2:27:10
  if you are indeed mentally competent to enter your guilty
• 2:27:13
  plea. It is freely involuntarily made.
• 2:27:16
  There's sufficient evidence supporting your guilty plea from
• 2:27:18
  State's exhibit 1 admitted here to find you guilty beyond a
• 2:27:22
  reasonable doubt of this offense.
• 2:27:23
  But I am going to defer for and postpone phone.
• 2:27:28
  And finally, so long as you follow the terms and conditions
• 2:27:31
  of probation in this deferred adjudication or uneducated
• 2:27:35
  probation order that you will be reviewed with by the probation
• 2:27:40
  officer in a second, there will be terms and conditions of
• 2:27:45
  probation which you must follow. Most of those terms and
• 2:27:49
  conditions of probation or the terms and conditions of life
• 2:27:54
  that we all are required to follow, don't commit a crime,
• 2:27:59
  take care of your responsibilities, etcetera.
• 2:28:04
  You must pay a fine of $500. There will be other terms and
• 2:28:08
  conditions of probation. Now length of probation, there's
• 2:28:13
  a non binding 2 years. What does the state say on that?
• 2:28:17
  We. Have discussed the two years
• 2:28:19
  status in agreement with that. Is that good?
• 2:28:21
  Yes, it will be for two years and this is fixable, so fix it.
• 2:28:29
  So find that out for my son, those things here and then
• 2:28:36
  she'll go over all of those with me and then you'll begin.
• 2:28:40
  We'll mention during a mask quicker.
• 2:28:42
  It began to quicker again. Thank you so much.
• 2:28:46
  Great job. We did some things that are
• 2:28:51
  unusual. Finish one of the conditions at
• 2:28:54
  the bottom and please see this lady and you'll begin.
• 2:29:03
  Good luck. Thank you.
• 2:29:15
  Alrighty friends, we're going to go to judge O'Donnell for a new
• 2:29:19
  contestant there. But before we do, a reminder
• 2:29:21
  tonight In the Blind with Mike and Dan, 7:00 PM Eastern, 4:00
• 2:29:24
  PM Pacific. There is a link for that in the
• 2:29:26
  pinned chat. If you're new to the channel and
• 2:29:30
  aren't familiar with what In the Blind is, it's actually not this
• 2:29:34
  channel. It's a whole separate channel,
• 2:29:35
  separate show done by me and Michael Groff, and we have no
• 2:29:43
  idea what we're going to talk about until we go live and it's
• 2:29:45
  presented to us. Thus we are in the Blind Fun
• 2:29:48
  show. Please do check that out again,
• 2:29:50
  7:00 PM Eastern tonight. You can get there through the
• 2:29:54
  link in the Pinch chat. Okie, Dokie.
• 2:29:57
  Let's go to Judge O'Donnell. Failure to appear on an OR bond
• 2:30:03
  parties are ready to go forward. Your Honor.
• 2:30:06
  Thank you, Mr. Smith. Go ahead.
• 2:30:08
  Thank your honor. First and foremost.
• 2:30:10
  My client takes all full responsibility for both cases
• 2:30:13
  here. Definitely realize that you
• 2:30:14
  didn't use the best judgment in the first case and not appearing
• 2:30:17
  for sentencing on earlier day like you should have.
• 2:30:20
  And as a result he picked up a new case for failure to to
• 2:30:24
  appear. So he takes full responsibility
• 2:30:26
  in that realizes that he should have made, you know, any and all
• 2:30:30
  efforts to come to court when he was supposed to for sentencing.
• 2:30:34
  We're asking for FISA court costs number one time to pay for
• 2:30:38
  that. And I do think my client could
• 2:30:40
  benefit from some sort of drug or alcohol treatment.
• 2:30:43
  He does understand that that will involve more local time,
• 2:30:47
  quite possibly in regards to that.
• 2:30:50
  And we're asking if he'd be put placed on probation, that that
• 2:30:53
  probation be transferred to his home state, which is New York.
• 2:30:58
  He's indicated to me that after, you know, this is behind him, he
• 2:31:01
  plans on going back to New York. Thank you.
• 2:31:04
  All right. Thank you.
• 2:31:05
  Mr. Harvey. What do you want to tell me
• 2:31:07
  before I sentence you? That I'm, I'm happy I'm here
• 2:31:12
  getting this taken care of. You know, I made some bad
• 2:31:14
  decisions and you know, I'm just happy to move on with my life
• 2:31:18
  and starting new, you know. So your your history indicates a
• 2:31:29
  conviction in 14 for drugs. Yes, you are.
• 2:31:34
  You were put on probation with conditions that you completed
• 2:31:39
  probation in July at 24 and then you pick up this case in 25.
• 2:31:43
  So what's what's been going on? Usually I see drug guys that are
• 2:31:48
  1234. Five, yeah, no, I continuously.
• 2:31:51
  I got caught up with in the streets.
• 2:31:54
  I lost a couple of friends. I started smoking crack a little
• 2:31:57
  bit. And then I I moved out here to
• 2:32:00
  get away from all that shit and I did.
• 2:32:03
  Oops. I'm sorry.
• 2:32:05
  Mind my language. I so then I got caught up in the
• 2:32:10
  wrong place, the wrong time. I succumb to you know,
• 2:32:14
  purchasing the drug again and I got caught, you know, with it.
• 2:32:19
  So I mean, I haven't touched nothing else since then except
• 2:32:26
  IA little bit of meth and that was why I had a bad tox.
• 2:32:33
  Other than that, I I'm done with all that stuff.
• 2:32:37
  I've been clean since my girlfriend.
• 2:32:39
  She's clean, and my family's waiting for me to get out of
• 2:32:42
  this so I can go back to work with them.
• 2:32:44
  And you know, I miss my old life and I miss my friends, but I
• 2:32:48
  can't bring them back by doing drugs.
• 2:32:50
  So how? Many of you lost because of this
• 2:32:53
  stuff. I lost my my car, my apartment,
• 2:32:58
  my way of life, some respect for myself.
• 2:33:01
  You know, I luckily I still have my family.
• 2:33:06
  What about people? If if you lost friends, you
• 2:33:08
  mentioned something. Like that.
• 2:33:09
  Yeah, Yeah. I've lost a couple of friends.
• 2:33:11
  They had an accident. Like one had a motorcycle
• 2:33:15
  accident, a traumatic brain injury, not to do with the
• 2:33:18
  drugs, but that's what kind of pushed me into the spiral that I
• 2:33:22
  caught myself in. And then.
• 2:33:26
  But I've grieved. I've recovered, you know, I, I
• 2:33:29
  got my life back on track and I, I'm still sorry I didn't make it
• 2:33:34
  to court. I needed a little bit more time,
• 2:33:36
  but I realized that my bomb was revoked because of the, The
• 2:33:39
  Dirty cocks and I didn't know that or else I would have turned
• 2:33:41
  myself in a little earlier. And, and I, I guess that's the
• 2:33:47
  only, the only reason I didn't do that is because I didn't have
• 2:33:49
  an active phone on and I was trying to get 1 and I wasn't in,
• 2:33:53
  you know, I wasn't able to contact my lawyer 100%.
• 2:33:57
  So that's on me still. What do you What do you have to
• 2:33:59
  do to get your driver's license back?
• 2:34:01
  I have to pay I think a $40 fee in Portage County and a $60.00
• 2:34:07
  license suspension fee I think in in another county of Ohio.
• 2:34:14
  And then I have, I think I have it $175 fee in New York for my
• 2:34:20
  suspension there. If, if that's correct, I, I'm
• 2:34:25
  going to get all the information I can as soon as I get out.
• 2:34:28
  I mean, work with my probation officer as well.
• 2:34:30
  And then try to get all my court costs and fees taken care of.
• 2:34:34
  My dad set up a little bit of money aside for me to take care
• 2:34:38
  of some fees and such like that as far as transfer and and a
• 2:34:42
  ride home and, and to get me set up, you know, when I get back
• 2:34:47
  home if and when that happens all.
• 2:34:50
  Right, the Bureau see it's going to join in the recommendation
• 2:34:54
  for community control sanctions here we help the defendant does
• 2:34:57
  get his life in order and his affairs and his addictions.
• 2:35:01
  Dealt with if not he. Can sit and rot in prison.
• 2:35:04
  Thanks. All right.
• 2:35:07
  I've reviewed the pre sent both pre sentence reports and the
• 2:35:10
  drug and alcohol evaluation from last fall.
• 2:35:14
  I've considered all the provisions of 29291112 and 13.
• 2:35:19
  On both cases, I'm going to place you on community control
• 2:35:22
  for three years. On the 916 case, you're going to
• 2:35:26
  serve 93 days in jail with credit for 48.
• 2:35:29
  The last 30 days you're going to enter into the jail treatment
• 2:35:32
  program, complete it and follow their recommendations.
• 2:35:36
  On the 25 or the 1493 case, 78 days in jail with credit for 78.
• 2:35:43
  The remaining terms will all be concurrent on community control.
• 2:35:47
  When you're done with the jail treatment program, you're going
• 2:35:49
  to enter into the Neocamp program, complete that, follow
• 2:35:52
  the recommendations, you're going to have no drugs or
• 2:35:54
  alcohol and you'll be screened. You're to attend at least 4A A
• 2:35:58
  or NA meetings a week and obtain A sponsor and maintain a sponsor
• 2:36:04
  at the appropriate time. Obtain and maintain full
• 2:36:07
  employment, get a valid driver's license and pay the cost and
• 2:36:11
  supervision fees. In these cases, just we Hagan
• 2:36:14
  any other terms you think are applicable.
• 2:36:19
  Mr. Harvey, do you understand the terms?
• 2:36:22
  Yes, I do, your honor. If you don't comply with the
• 2:36:24
  terms and the state will file a motion to terminate your
• 2:36:26
  community control. If I find you violated, you face
• 2:36:30
  a potential prison sentence of 18 months on the 1493 case and
• 2:36:34
  12 months on the 916 case. You understand that?
• 2:36:37
  Yes, your Honor. Now if you assuming you go
• 2:36:41
  through the jail treatment program completed, go through
• 2:36:44
  Neocamp and complete it, then I will likely transfer your
• 2:36:49
  supervision to what? What county do you live in?
• 2:36:53
  Niagara County, Sir. Niagara County.
• 2:36:55
  So that's the likelihood if you do what you're supposed to do.
• 2:36:58
  OK. Anything else, Mr. Dapiro?
• 2:37:02
  What's there? Any discussion in forfeiture if
• 2:37:04
  there was any contraband Drugs. Yeah, any Anything subject to
• 2:37:07
  forfeitures? Forfeiture.
• 2:37:08
  Say anything else, Mr. Smith? No, Your Honor.
• 2:37:13
  All right. We'll adjourn.
• 2:37:14
  All right. Thank.
• 2:37:16
  You So Mr. de Piro is a very interesting prosecuting
• 2:37:20
  attorney. In my opinion.
• 2:37:22
  Your Honor, the state sincerely hopes that this defendant will
• 2:37:27
  get his life together. Therefore, we we join in the
• 2:37:31
  recommendation for community control.
• 2:37:34
  But if he doesn't, let him rot in jail.
• 2:37:40
  If you don't often hear them say let them rot.
• 2:37:43
  Anywho, let's go to Judge Desanto and we will finish our
• 2:37:49
  date. Morning Ron, you're on the
• 2:37:53

  originally scheduled for sentencing February 26th and
• 2:38:11
  failed to appear for that sentencing.

  Conference, Second Chance time set the stop on that.
• 2:40:00
  Which you learn about. These are companies which
• 2:40:02
  basically. Right.
• 2:40:04
  They employ individuals that have felony convictions and
• 2:40:07
  allow people a second chance. That's correct.
• 2:40:09
  Correct. Just got permission from Judge
• 2:40:11
  Baker to the law to companies that are interested in me to go
• 2:40:16
  out of state 3 or 4 days. It's not just the butter head.
• 2:40:20
  A description about the I'm gonna.
• 2:40:21
  Need to go on. And and long as you go to and
• 2:40:25
  appear and by having a new behavior therapy that counselor
• 2:40:30
  therapist sent it out to the video chat.
• 2:40:32
  That's why I cannot make that scheduled appointment.
• 2:40:35
  So go open up my community service.
• 2:40:38
  Oh, I got two hours when? Were you sentenced in the
• 2:40:45
  following matter, Sir? Your.
• 2:40:48
  January and you only have two hours completed.
• 2:40:53
  Yeah. Why is that?
• 2:40:56
  You know, yeah, I guess learning things about myself that I'm
• 2:41:02
  saying don't smoke this depression and no motivation.
• 2:41:06
  That's the truth. But now they want to come from
• 2:41:10
  therapy and I'm going better by myself, you know, I see
• 2:41:15
  somethings I research done eating allergies a lot, you
• 2:41:21
  know, and. It's a lot, but if.
• 2:41:24
  You do a little. Bit every month then it's not a
• 2:41:26
  lot. If we didn't have the
• 2:41:28
  motivation, but now I do. Court order, is it motivation?
• 2:41:31
  No, not because he was. I'm sorry, OK?
• 2:41:34
  I'm just being honest. No.
• 2:41:35
  That's that's fair. A lot of people say last time I
• 2:41:37
  was there, you know? Yeah, thanks for.
• 2:41:39
  Listening. You listen to me, you let me
• 2:41:40
  talk, but you are. So I appreciate that.
• 2:41:45
  Why don't you show up back in February for your sentencing,
• 2:41:47
  Sir? Because I don't live at I lost
• 2:41:51
  that house and I was saying my daughter pulled a leak and
• 2:41:55
  awesome. Apparently I afford to notify
• 2:41:58
  the court that my address is 1844.
• 2:42:02
  I don't believe I did. You did not, and nor did you or
• 2:42:07
  nor did you look online to see when your sentencing date was,
• 2:42:10
  nor did you contact us to let us know.
• 2:42:12
  Oh, I missed the date. I did not.
• 2:42:14
  Or when's my date? I assumed when I talked to Mr.
• 2:42:17
  Hollier about it when he's downtown, he said he would talk
• 2:42:19
  to him and he would get back to. Him meaning, Mr. Golpa, that
• 2:42:24
  you're pointing to, OK. Oh, that's OK.
• 2:42:28
  Just for the record, it can't see where you're pointing.
• 2:42:32
  I understood too. I understand that, but if
• 2:42:35
  somebody's looking at the transcript, they don't see that.
• 2:42:38
  And Mr. All your real good name said, well, if you don't hear
• 2:42:40
  nothing from me, everything's good because this is not like
• 2:42:43
  jokes to have this happens to let a case go.
• 2:42:46
  And he for a second he thought. You let it go.
• 2:42:49
  And I swear that we could ask him, just recall, talk to the
• 2:42:53
  man and he goes, well, let me double check out things.
• 2:42:56
  And if you don't hear nothing from me, OK, just go up taking
• 2:42:59
  care of business as usual. And that's what I did.
• 2:43:01
  But I'm not put something on him.
• 2:43:02
  I'm just saying I found out later on.
• 2:43:05
  It kind of got mixed up after it was separated.
• 2:43:09
  If you wanted to see what was going on with.
• 2:43:10
  That felony case of life and it just got lost temporarily from
• 2:43:16
  my understanding and that's how I got the warrant out from my
• 2:43:20
  list. And Your Honor, I didn't get
• 2:43:22
  picked up the line up police seemed to coming out of my
• 2:43:24
  chiropractor's office. I figured the 17th and they as I
• 2:43:28
  was got in my car. I didn't.
• 2:43:31
  They got, you know. Scooped me up.
• 2:43:34
  Said, hey, you got a foreign operator restaurant and A and
• 2:43:37
  I'll say, hey, Tim, how's it going?
• 2:43:38
  Like a death. And they said, well, take care
• 2:43:41
  of the warranty and OK, and I want to talk to the parish
• 2:43:48
  officer. And she seemed very nice about
• 2:43:50
  it. So people set it aside and I can
• 2:43:53
  provide a stubborn paper support on a case and I give you these
• 2:43:58
  things and I'll clean it up. So I may just.
• 2:44:02
  All right. If I may along with that mission
• 2:44:05
  and I have been in contact throughout that I provided her
• 2:44:09
  with the her the probation documents.
• 2:44:13
  That, Sir, please remove your hat.
• 2:44:15
  You're in court. Thank you.
• 2:44:16
  Probation documents atmosphere since court contact I forwarded
• 2:44:23
  but it appears because he had moved and has a different
• 2:44:27
  address and his e-mail wasn't active I guess for a period of
• 2:44:34
  time that he got the the information that I have
• 2:44:37
  forwarded with the PSI. Right, Sir, have you updated
• 2:44:43
  your address? It's still 1844 Monte St.
• 2:44:47
  temporarily, and so she makes a provider.
• 2:44:50
  She's moved to Texas. I let my probation officer know
• 2:44:53
  he said keep them keep them on the form.
• 2:44:55
  I'm on a list for shelters and that attracted I got to go next
• 2:45:00
  door to make that show assigned paper next on a list up is
• 2:45:03
  better available where I'm unemployed.
• 2:45:06
  And so it's it's a process. And Sir, your matter that you're
• 2:45:12
  so your probation and 3rd Circuit Court, is that treatment
• 2:45:15
  court or is it straight probation?
• 2:45:19
  My probation through. Right, so is participating in
• 2:45:25
  treatment court mental health, you are participating in
• 2:45:29
  treatment court? No, no, not operation treatment.
• 2:45:32
  I have your information regarding.
• 2:45:33
  That's what they recommended. That's what I'm doing now.
• 2:45:39
  So. So you're on general probation?
• 2:45:42
  That's great. That's what I was trying to.
• 2:45:44
  OK, I understand some general information well.
• 2:45:47
  There's a because treatment court is a different type of
• 2:45:49
  probation that's treatment based.
• 2:45:52
  And given what I've read from your provider, I'm a little bit
• 2:45:58
  surprised that treatment court wasn't something that you were
• 2:46:00
  participating in, in Circuit Court.
• 2:46:04
  And I don't think it. And I don't know if it would be
• 2:46:06
  beneficial for Mr. Barton to participate in treatment court
• 2:46:09
  for this matter, given he's on felony probation and he's
• 2:46:12
  already taken these steps regarding his treatment.
• 2:46:18
  If you test right now, Sir, what's in your system?
• 2:46:24
  All right, after reviewing the report, the recommendation
• 2:46:29
  hearing from counsel from Mr. Barton, the court does not find
• 2:46:34
  that there's recent House department on sale 769.5 as Mr.
• 2:46:39
  Barton's not eligible or 771.1 he's on felony probation.
• 2:46:44
  Is this the court copy or is this your only copy, Sir?
• 2:46:48
  OK. And congratulations, Sir, on
• 2:46:50
  completing your outpatient treatment.
• 2:46:53
  Are you still continuing your CBT?
• 2:46:56
  Yes. All right.
• 2:46:59
  So OK, the court's going to find our order.
• 2:47:11
  It finds the cost only. No way defines the cost and the
• 2:47:14
  warrant fee. You're all set, Sir.
• 2:47:16
  Thank you. All right, good luck to you.
• 2:47:19
  Thank you very much, Ryan. You're welcome.
