  Once again happy Monday. This is TCF live.
• 16:11
  My name is Dan. Guiding you through four hours
• 16:15
  of. Courtland coverage, at least
• 16:19
  when they provide it, let's go to Huron County.
• 16:22
  Michigan judge Prill by 25. 728 H.
• 16:27
  It's time of days at the sentencing appearing on behalf
• 16:30
  of the state of Michigan is Assistant Attorney.
• 16:32
  General, Ashley Messner, the defendant Hunter quick appears
• 16:35
  by the zoom application represented by attorney Nori.
• 16:39
  The court allowed Mr. Crit, to appear by his owner purposes of
• 16:43
  sentencing. Normally we do not do that in
• 16:46
  any situation. However, in this one, it has
• 16:48
  been previously, authorized will be proceeding in that fashion.
• 16:52
  back on September 22nd, what a while ago, the defendant energy
• 16:57
  completed failing to pay child, support Preset report has been
• 17:01
  prepared by Ms. Karen eberlin. The report is dated October 14th
• 17:06
  2025. This Corey, have you and your
• 17:09
  client had the opportunity to review the preceptors?
• 17:11
  Yes, you're on. There's no additions.
• 17:14
  Corrections or deletions? At the same applied regarding
• 17:18
  guidelines as well as judge. Hi, Mr. Craig, do you agree with
• 17:26
  that, sir? Yes, your honour His master, any
• 17:30
  objection to the report as well as guidelines?
• 17:33
  Yeah, I have no objection to the guidelines.
• 17:35
  I do have an updated and honor via marriage and just I do
• 17:39
  understand the defendant did send in two certified checks,
• 17:42
  which would get his balance to what it needs to be to earn the
• 17:46
  delay of sentence, the balance I have currently does not reflect
• 17:49
  those numbers. So, just so, you know, it's
• 17:51
  going to be a little higher now, but it will go down once those
• 17:53
  certified checks, clear. So that number your number is
• 17:57
  21,000, 300 and 222 and 43 cents.
• 18:05
  That's remaining Bells. It is right.
• 18:07
  And that does not take into account.
• 18:08
  The two certified checks that have not been applied yet, those
• 18:11
  are being held because there were so large, but it will go
• 18:14
  down significantly. Once they are applying Light.
• 18:27
  Just briefly your honor, your honor, my clients 33 years old,
• 18:30
  he did serve in the military from 2013 to 2016, he was in the
• 18:36
  Army, he was honorably discharged after he was really
• 18:40
  after his military after he was discharged, he did struggle, a
• 18:46
  lot financially, and actually was homeless for quite a bit of
• 18:49
  time from 2016, until he was able to gain stable housing and
• 18:54
  the last year or so. And but he is now finally
• 18:59
  starting his own trucking business.
• 19:02
  It's, it's been study for the last several months old.
• 19:06
  We believe that that's going to be prosperous in the New York
• 19:11
  coming future. He is getting back up on his
• 19:14
  feet. His Pavements this is been
• 19:16
  delayed several times because every time he's been paying down
• 19:20
  his obligation to this case through Miss do they were
• 19:23
  applying a portion of it to his other child support matter.
• 19:26
  I believe. In glad when he didn't
• 19:28
  understand that, that was happening.
• 19:29
  So for so long. So he has, he has been paying
• 19:33
  the amount down. He has been putting the money
• 19:37
  enough to pay this amount down this whole time.
• 19:39
  It's just been getting split into from two different places.
• 19:41
  He now knows how to pay it. So he gets directly applied to
• 19:45
  this case and how he needs to pay it to apply his child
• 19:48
  support to another case. So I don't think that's going to
• 19:50
  be a problem moving forward, but he is getting back up on his
• 19:53
  feet on her. And I think he is going to be do
• 19:58
  everything he needs to do, to pay down this whole rearrange
• 20:00
  balance. In the 11-month delayed
• 20:03
  sentence. He did pay last week.
• 20:06
  He sent in a check, I believe for 2900 and another check for
• 20:10
  560 to this case. That's the one that's where
• 20:13
  we're waiting to be applied for but he obviously takes this very
• 20:17
  seriously judge. So I think I don't think he's
• 20:19
  gonna disappoint at all during this delay sentence.
• 20:21
  So I had asked the courts, adopt the sentence agreement and the
• 20:27
  terms of the plea deal and plays him on an 11 month delay.
• 20:32
  Mr. You agree with Ms. Messer's account of the current balance
• 20:35
  doing payable 21,322.43. Yes, I believe that's correct.
• 20:40
  But that, and that's before the two amounts that I just stated
• 20:44
  on the record have been applied. Correct.
• 20:47
  All right. Thank you.
• 20:49
  Mr. Creek. Is there anything you'd like to
• 20:50
  say before the court in post a sentence?
• 20:52
  I'd like to apologize to the court, also Rebecca for being so
• 20:57
  far behind and being not so good of a citizen and our country.
• 21:01
  I'm trying to do better and trying to get back on my feet so
• 21:07
  that I can make my obligations. Because you don't have to
• 21:11
  apologize to the court. That's our job.
• 21:14
  But you did apologize to mother or the child, I'm not sure that
• 21:18
  that individual was you reference, but that is where the
• 21:21
  problem is, and that's providing the support regarding the child.
• 21:24
  So I just want to make sure you understand that and anything
• 21:28
  else you want to say? I will do my best to make sure
• 21:31
  this is paid down the 11 months and thank you for the court for
• 21:35
  Being understanding of all these challenges that we faced so far
• 21:38
  and I I hope to smooth out the process.

• 21:48
  I appreciate the court for allowing us to have some time on
• 21:50
  this one to get Mr. Creek, down to that about that.
• 21:53
  He needed to, to get the benefit of the bargain that we made.
• 21:56
  I think now these are certified checks.
• 21:58
  I don't have any reason to doubt that they will, in fact, go
• 22:01
  through and they were applied specially to this docket.

  that he maintained a state of Michigan, driver's license, or

  That they cleared that up because quite honestly, if he is

  Let's go. Slow morning, but so judgment.
• 27:35
  Now, he's got something going on.
• 27:36
  Let's go over there. It was not properly served.
• 27:41
  This is a land contract forfeiture case the fan and has
• 27:45
  to be properly served. With the summons and complaint
• 27:50
  or there has to be an order that a judge signs for alternate
• 27:55
  service. Where there's many attempts and
• 27:59
  the judge signs in order saying you can serve by certified mail
• 28:04
  first class mail and posting or attacking in which case that
• 28:10
  would be good enough. But I never signed an order, I
• 28:12
  was never presented in order so I'm going to have to adjourn
• 28:15
  this. And we're gonna have to send the
• 28:17
  process server out again to get the defendant, you might want to
• 28:22
  hire a lawyer, this is a little bit more complicated, this is
• 28:25
  land contract, forfeiture, I would suggest you get a lawyer
• 28:28
  you don't have to but you should okay.
• 28:32
  This is not just throwing somebody out, you do what you
• 28:35
  want, you have the legal right to represent yourself but that's

  I want you to listen, sir. You should get a lawyer.
• 29:09
  I'm not trying to give lawyers business, but you, you know,
• 29:13
  they're probably there might have to be a motion for all
• 29:16
  listen. There might have to be an
• 29:20
  emotion for an all for alternate service, if they can't find the
• 29:23
  defend. So you do what you want.
• 29:26
  I'd suggest you get a lawyer. You have to have, you should get

• 39:04
  Again, I'm flying in the blind. I have no idea how many of you
• 39:08
  are watching this morning because YouTube stats are
• 39:10
  broken. So, do me a favor, say, good
• 39:12
  morning in the chat, if you have not already.
• 39:14
  So you're there. But I do know this. 80% of the
• 39:20
  audience who watches this channel is not subscribed to
• 39:24
  this channel. So if you're lurking out there
• 39:26
  this morning you aren't subscribed, do me a favor and
• 39:29
  hit that subscribe button. There is a war going on right
• 39:33
  now between human created. Human curated content like this
• 39:37
  channel offers, and the AI slop that is out there.
• 39:40
  In one of the largest quality signals, we can send to the
• 39:45
  algorithms to win that war is to have more and more subscribers.
• 39:49
  So not only for this channel but for others as well, if you
• 39:54
  appreciate human content and that's what the channel provides
• 39:57
  then do, subscribe to them. It is a help otherwise you just
• 40:02
  going to keep getting more and more.
• 40:03
  AI slop. Ah, let's do this.
• 40:06
  Let's go up to judge, judge, Elmore, say, good morning to
• 40:11
  him. Call by taking up the case.
• 40:17
  Oh, people in the state of Michigan versus Jack.
• 40:20
  Daniel showed him back. This is file number 251-4168 FH
• 40:27
  appearances from Council, please.
• 40:43
  we are on the record this morning to the PSI here just a
• 40:52
  second and I had a question. He still serving a jail
• 41:05
  sentence. Like what he was serving,
• 41:08
  another jail something, right? He yes, multiple cases.
• 41:14
  Yeah, I just want to make the reason for asking questions to
• 41:17
  make sure it won't miss any credit, right?
• 41:20
  He's right. I, I understand this one.
• 41:22
  I made, I'm sorry and the Pro Bowl, correct?
• 41:26
  Yes. And are there any still serving
• 41:30
  that sentence about 132 days? No. it's expired, but trying to
• 41:38
  get the date for you, all right? This is January 1st January, I
• 41:46
  know problem. I just want to make sure that
• 41:47
  I'm I have just an idea of what the time is that he's been
• 41:51
  serving and can well it may not be authorized.
• 41:55
  I'm sorry. Automatically included for geo
• 41:59
  credit. I'm just mentioning it out loud
• 42:00
  so there's a record of me doing something.
• 42:05
  All right, so now I'm going to continue to look here at the
• 42:08
  case after I have a file. The court will know just for the
• 42:20
  events that I didn't know through the Precedence
• 42:23
  investigation report. I think there are a couple cases
• 42:26
  that were dismissed currently while they're listening does not
• 42:30
  consider them. Well, he reads through papers
• 42:49
  Tim, thank you that. I For any corrections myself for
• 42:55
  us now, turn it over to the people MS. Dalton the Amendments
• 42:58
  questions or rejects the nature of the contents of this report.
• 43:01
  And I would ask for a correction on page 14.
• 43:05
  Of cfj to 84. They're others.
• 43:12
  Brittany valence. It's States is a significant
• 43:15
  other. I would ask that it be amended
• 43:18
  for corrected to former significant Association no
• 43:21
  longer in relationships. Whole time.
• 43:30
  So you don't according to her. She's she's allows me wants to
• 43:35
  be so wait for me. That was her worst.
• 43:38
  I can show you who I don't really matter.
• 43:41
  We'll just leave them alone. I don't unless you here and she
• 43:47
  here. To be here.
• 43:56
  From the jail on Chase contact us making mental note, my own
• 44:04
  minds. It's not that big of a joke.
• 44:07
  All right, any other corrections.
• 44:08
  I miss your Harris. I know proposed correctives,
• 44:14
  allocation Minister Harris. Well, I'm okay.
• 44:20
  I'm wondering how rather this is a definitely the less I say, the
• 44:25
  better type situation, it's a favorable recommendation, it's a
• 44:30
  very good setting to guideline given his somewhat cluttered
• 44:36
  past I would simply make a note that he has been in jail for 133
• 44:41
  days. and it looks like I've got a yeah, I was November when he
• 44:48
  got arrested, it took us a while to sort out what was what, who
• 44:52
  was, who as far as like, the overlapping people that had sort
• 44:58
  of a Lima on him, but here's where we are. this is, A good
• 45:04
  joke for someone to intervene with Jack because For the first
• 45:10
  time in a long time, I think his head is relatively clear.
• 45:14
  He made. Excellent, statements regarding
• 45:18
  the future to me, which indicates to me that he has some
• 45:21
  degree of insight that perhaps his lacking in the past.
• 45:25
  And I'm pretty impressed with his demeanors far as dealing,
• 45:31
  with this case, in the state of matter, and being on these with
• 45:35
  me, with regard to his attention for the future, I think he has
• 45:40
  better days in front of him. And I think once all of this
• 45:45
  stuff and that includes the state of Ohio, etc.
• 45:48
  Etc is behind behind him. He's got a good plan, the good
• 45:54
  outlook for the future. The bottom line is, I think a
• 46:00
  lot of his criminal Behavior can be associated with substance,
• 46:04
  use and abuse, and the, his overall recognition of that is
• 46:10
  pretty impressive to me. And that's to conversation.
• 46:15
  He and I have been having is how do we, how do we not have the
• 46:19
  cycle? Repeat itself in the future?
• 46:22
  And like I said, I've been impressed with this maturity and
• 46:27
  insight that he's expressed to me and that regardless I think
• 46:31
  the recommendation, you know, zero to 17 for six months, jail
• 46:35
  sentence, I think is so appropriate here that I don't
• 46:41
  even know if I would have any way to convince you judge, that
• 46:46
  was an unreasonable request. But for the fact that he's
• 46:49
  already stepped 133 days in custody.
• 46:53
  We realized he's not entitled the day for day credit for that,
• 46:56
  but that is a significant amount of time and I think he's used to
• 47:01
  wisely. Thank you.
• 47:02
  Thank you. Miss doll.
• 47:21
  Snakes. Somebody that he was in a
• 47:34
  relationship with you. What it meant for her laptop to
• 47:38
  be stolen for her items to be stolen for her tires, to be the
• 47:43
  story. He was indicted, she was
• 47:50
  Childish and his behavior. So at his age I don't believe he
• 47:53
  is learned what appropriate, behaviorism is deciding.
• 47:58
  So I believe that's 12-month jail.
• 47:59
  Sentence would be appropriate in this case.
• 48:03
  Thank you. In the interest of being
• 48:09
  thorough. I want to make a statement here
• 48:11
  on the record before I turned the Mr. Shown back.
• 48:15
  The killer group agreement. We have here listed in the PSI
• 48:18
  says kilo route agreement stating.
• 48:22
  He will pay the 900 dollars in the restitution to the victim
• 48:25
  because I understand that the 900 dollars is not the entirety
• 48:31
  of the killer. Little agreement of the words
• 48:34
  that might be easy to Green to pay the 900 dollars.
• 48:38
  Well, that does not prohibit the court from issuing any period of
• 48:43
  confinement or other finds and costs just an agreement that
• 48:47
  he'll pay the 9 0. 0. 0 0, So really we call it a killer
• 49:10
  brew, that he's going to pay the nine hundred dollars but it's
• 49:13
  not a killer Brew. Some tie, the hands of the
• 49:18
  Court. All right.
• 49:20
  Thank you. All right, Mr. Sean, baek.
• 49:23
  Just anything you wish to say before I issue a sentence, this
• 49:26
  morning, whatever a couple for you.
• 49:29
  I understand it can be uncomfortable.
• 49:32
  I understand what she's saying, the whole victimizing
• 49:36
  everything. You know, it wasn't, it wasn't
• 49:41
  as bad as I got, like I said, I multiple emails messages and
• 49:49
  everything, her even saying she was lying like that, her
• 49:52
  boyfriend made her say happy. So she said you know, which part
• 49:58
  Because there was another case where they said that I put my
• 50:00
  hands on her, you know. So they stand like, you know,
• 50:04
  like the tires and stuff. You know, she said she paid out
• 50:07
  of pocket for all this stuff but she didn't, you know, my family
• 50:11
  Victor vehicle. You know, she was living at my
• 50:14
  house up until last month, you know.
• 50:17
  So, but yeah, I've been trying like, I understand, like, you
• 50:23
  know, my anger got the best in me.
• 50:24
  I was using nothing better than me every time I use them.
• 50:26
  I, I end up doing some stuff and I come to understand that, you
• 50:31
  know, and I'm trying to get help, I see CHS every two weeks,
• 50:34
  Catherine, Michael at the jail. I mean, a group of men, Drew
• 50:38
  with her. I got pre-approved for Rehab.
• 50:41
  Obviously, I'm probably not gonna be able to go to the rehab
• 50:43
  because I got a hold in Ohio. But, um, you know, I've been
• 50:47
  trying to get it under control. when you talk about the
• 50:54
  statements made by the girl, and those didn't apply to the
• 50:59
  stealing of the Backpack. Well, she told me.
• 51:03
  She understood why? Because she She touched up for
• 51:08
  me, that was in that backpack. Not, I took backpack to get
• 51:11
  myself back and then gave it backpack to the cops.
• 51:14
  Like she was asked me, I said here's her first off, you know,
• 51:16
  I'm not gonna damage or anything.
• 51:18
  I gave it right back to that because I didn't want her stuff.
• 51:20
  I wanted my stuff Okay, you know, and I understand that I
• 51:25
  had a key to the truck and everything.
• 51:26
  I didn't break into it, I opened the door with a key of the
• 51:30
  backpack that had a bunch of my stuff in it and you know, I
• 51:34
  mean, I know I shouldn't have did it.
• 51:35
  I guess, you know, I didn't realize it was gonna be as big,
• 51:37
  you know, and the idea I did the table over so the vehicle.
• 51:42
  Yes. Who owned the vehicle Brittany
• 51:45
  on the vehicle and were you dating Brittany at the time?
• 51:51
  and, Fire to that day. When was the last time you had
• 51:59
  access to that vehicle that morning?
• 52:04
  What did you do that? I don't have a marvelous know, I
• 52:11
  was in the vehicle with her that morning.
• 52:12
  When we got up, we got up and started the people, and we're
• 52:14
  getting ready to leave. And then all those.
• 52:20
  What do you mean by that? She was in jail, the previous
• 52:28
  week and I brought to her. She called him.
• 52:31
  He started threatening me on the phone.
• 52:33
  So I broke her phone. Okay.
• 52:36
  And so, when after that, did you go back into the car and take
• 52:39
  the back later that night? And who's backpack wasn't it was
• 52:43
  her backpack? Okay. and, Later that night.
• 52:51
  Where were you living with her at the time?
• 52:53
  She was living with me. oh, What pushed the court in a bit of a?
• 53:07
  Mister Harrison. I think, what should I, what
• 53:13
  should we be doing? I mean, your client.
• 53:15
  Now is telling me he didn't do anything wrong with that.
• 53:18
  I don't believe I wasn't right. I'm not saying it wasn't.
• 53:21
  It was her truck. You know, I just didn't realize
• 53:24
  it was a felony to open a car door with a key, you know, I
• 53:26
  mean, I understand her back. I actually, you know, I think he
• 53:30
  was gonna go that far, you know? yes, I I know I was All right,
• 53:39
  thank you for. And like I said, once again, I
• 53:46
  was on the academy. And that's just, I just can't
• 53:49
  hear you. So I decided to destroy stuff
• 53:54
  and that's not smart either. But I understand that.
• 53:59
  Hold on. I miss don't.
• 54:25
  When I look at CFG 284 page 12, and now look at the two cases,
• 54:30
  13 and 14 of 14. Why are there two files?
• 54:45
  But this is all the same day. The same page for coming.
• 54:53
  The sheriff's department, investigated the morning,
• 54:55
  domestic violence, and self-image later.
• 54:58
  She went to work. All right, well she was at work.
• 55:01
  He broke into her vehicle. / retires and prefer laptop.
• 55:07
  Two different entities, law enforcement entities that
• 55:11
  investigated based on their location was It is my I
• 55:17
  understand that. and I'm you when I was downstairs in that
• 55:25
  office, I had similar things and because I know each agency wants
• 55:30
  to keep track of their numbers and they all want to get Passing
• 55:34
  the background, many cases. Do you have any idea?
• 55:37
  I'm looking at how much time because your office, charged,
• 55:40
  two different files. The even though they're all the
• 55:44
  same day, same series of events and related.
• 55:48
  And then he gets one case resolved.
• 55:52
  He gets arrested by the way in the same date.
• 55:56
  And he gets 20 days and one case.
• 55:58
  So I'm going to give you credit for the 20s because the
• 56:02
  Prosecutors Office decided to take twice as much, time twice
• 56:06
  as much energy and sent you one one case where you should have
• 56:11
  gotten Credit in this one. That's me is taking up way too
• 56:16
  much time. So I don't understand that.
• 56:20
  I understand it's two different agencies, two different reports
• 56:23
  but judicial efficiency in economy to tell you together or
• 56:30
  process them together. So, in my mind, I'm going to
• 56:35
  give you credit for that sentence.
• 56:38
  Because you should have gotten them resolved at the same time.
• 56:42
  Doubled, in my opinion. All right, so I continue here.
• 56:47
  Now, there are other things here that don't go well.
• 56:57
  Mr. Bennett wants cfj 28484 page one.
• 57:01
  Fourth paragraph. There's just a title within
• 57:07
  effects, maybe that's what you meant.
• 57:09
  The within a fence. I don't know, whatever.
• 57:14
  I just thought it right. Funny, then you're fine.
• 57:16
  You've got to love adult films eight but don't you have eight
• 57:22
  missed him. You've got this problem here of
• 57:26
  a life of drugs weed and elbow. Methamphetamine for nine years,
• 57:34
  marijuana. or 26 years, which of course is before it became
• 57:42
  quote, unquote, legal An alcohol.
• 57:46
  So you've got 36 years of age. You've got 19, felony and
• 57:51
  misdemeanor convictions, all by the age of 36.
• 57:54
  You can't jail. Prison probation parole.
• 58:00
  And you keep involving control and substances.
• 58:04
  We are setting yourself up for repetitive failures.
• 58:07
  I don't know what it takes. This is where the court has to
• 58:12
  balance the interests of Justice turrets.
• 58:17
  Give opportunities rehab or just take the key, right inside the
• 58:23
  trash, container here to my right.
• 58:27
  I don't know exactly what to do to get the message across.
• 58:35
  I understand your upset, you had a good reason to be upset.
• 58:40
  You might want to even though you've told me, maybe they're
• 58:43
  still with this girl or not? Hey you might want to think just
• 58:46
  yourself choosing yet. No you're not.
• 58:49
  Okay yeah this really shift needs to end.
• 59:02
  The criminal history is like I said, I already know.
• 59:05
  Not good. Your juvenile history.
• 59:07
  Began in 2003. The first one I noticed you got
• 59:11
  the disposition in September 3rd of that year.
• 59:15
  And then you picked up your second juvenile cases.
• 59:17
  Same day. so, In those, you've got the salt and battery and
• 59:25
  damage to property. So you've got issues so you go
• 59:33
  from hot to hot. Oh yeah, between number two and
• 59:38
  number three is a juvenile. You made it five months and you
• 59:41
  returned with some more violence. tip number four, you
• 59:45
  made it about a year and then you picked up and number five,
• 59:48
  and then Got two cases, that's the same time.
• 59:54
  In Midland County and you're both dealing with hot headed and
• 59:59
  she got messy family member. Yes, domestic violence and then
• 1:00:07
  you've got a malicious destruction of property.
• 1:00:11
  And then you made it two weeks before you picked up after being
• 1:00:14
  discharged. From that case, before you pick
• 1:00:17
  up your first adult case. See, you got more salt and
• 1:00:22
  batteries, you made it eight days between that.
• 1:00:26
  And the next case, Went from November 3rd to November 12th.
• 1:00:32
  2006, so you're on probation. You made an eight days.
• 1:00:37
  You then picked up a home invasion.
• 1:00:41
  In that file. There were multiple probation
• 1:00:45
  violations. One, two, three, four.
• 1:00:49
  Five different. Requests more.
• 1:00:53
  And you get sent to prison. As an assault resistance started
• 1:01:08
  police officer. He was on the November 22nd of
• 1:01:13
  2011 and you made it five months into that probation before you
• 1:01:17
  violating it. And you were on successfully
• 1:01:20
  discharged. Now, once you just got out of
• 1:01:24
  jail on that file, on June 15th of 2013, you picked up another
• 1:01:29
  act of violence. and you had more probation violations in the
• 1:01:35
  world, successful discharge their I didn't make it about
• 1:01:39
  three and a half years until 2017, and then you pick up from
• 1:01:44
  looks like a drug charge. Then you have another case going
• 1:01:48
  on, at the same time. This one is obviously another
• 1:01:52
  state called menacing. I assume that's like a disorder.
• 1:01:55
  We first. Then you had another case that
• 1:01:58
  picked up about the same time, all.
• 1:02:00
  So out of state then he had another one while you were on
• 1:02:04
  bond that about the same time and March of 2000 and 18 cases,
• 1:02:10
  then he had another one. Also, do you like five or six
• 1:02:13
  cases going on at the same time? They're all in one thing.
• 1:02:17
  Yeah, that's yeah. And you get this yellow and
• 1:02:24
  overlap and his probation violation drugs on authorized.
• 1:02:32
  Stubble. Its continued receiving and
• 1:02:36
  concealing stolen property. Another one in 2018, Colonial
• 1:02:42
  assault, so more violence, then you got to set the prison for
• 1:02:45
  that one. Yet another one at that same
• 1:02:48
  Palace is a 6 case going on at the same time as you missed out.
• 1:02:53
  All right, so now here you are and 2025 and you're violating
• 1:03:00
  parole, you already picked up. The one case that we talked
• 1:03:03
  about earlier that was the destruction of property.
• 1:03:06
  And then, now we're here today for the Washington from the
• 1:03:09
  motor vehicles. Don't know what to say, but I do
• 1:03:15
  need to cover. All the reasons for those
• 1:03:18
  sentence. One thing that you mentioned
• 1:03:33
  that I highlighted here in my notes go when I and I like to
• 1:03:37
  read the. Why did you do it question?
• 1:03:39
  That's on the Your answer was because I was angry.
• 1:03:44
  Well, anger is something you've got to learn to control because
• 1:03:48
  I've covered a lot of your anger issues. 36 years of age and you
• 1:03:52
  got more convictions than most probably 100 people like to walk
• 1:03:59
  out there, finding they don't have Well, you've got to figure
• 1:04:03
  out that anger, next one. And I was not a clean thinking
• 1:04:09
  clearly of the consequences. That to me is one of the issues
• 1:04:14
  why I kept saying earlier you go from hot to hot fast, The Flash
• 1:04:18
  to bang time is minimal. and, I'll convictions and Punishment
• 1:04:26
  are the consequences. That's where I got a focus on
• 1:04:32
  today. all right, so I know that the intermediate sanctions sell
• 1:04:40
  suggested by the guidelines. Directs, the court.
• 1:04:47
  Start off with the presumption of find costs and probation.
• 1:04:53
  But of course, the law says that where I have reasonable grounds,
• 1:04:58
  I can deviate and give jail. Also, the court notes that the
• 1:05:03
  quarters Guided by the statutes. To give probation when I think
• 1:05:09
  probation. And when I think the person's
• 1:05:11
  not likely to re-offend By a way, I was able to time
• 1:05:15
  completely disagree with the language, because it doesn't
• 1:05:18
  make sense and MCL 771.1. All right. so, the court is
• 1:05:25
  Sentence. This is 68 dollar State minimum,
• 1:05:29
  be 130.00 feet. A I'm going to do just a 200
• 1:05:36
  dollar core cost because these things should realistically been
• 1:05:40
  processed together. I'm going to do a 500 dollar
• 1:05:44
  fine, shouldn't be any DNA fee. They won't be any supervision.
• 1:05:48
  So there's no supervision fee a 200 dollar Corps cost, right,
• 1:05:53
  attorney fee, and the 900 dollars of restitution.
• 1:05:58
  That was agreed to at the taking, the plea, and that is
• 1:06:01
  payable to. And I don't remember her name,
• 1:06:04
  Brittany valence Brittany. They wants.
• 1:06:09
  Spelling for Clerk. V a l, l a n c e.
• 1:06:27
  He doesn't like to give any probation.
• 1:06:29
  This thing is the court needs to figure out what is the fair and
• 1:06:34
  appropriate jail sentence in the course of their reasonable
• 1:06:39
  grounds to jail. Same time, I take a
• 1:06:43
  consideration that use on. He's got a whole he hasn't heard
• 1:06:48
  any credit. Automatically by law, but I can
• 1:06:54
  consider all these. Are conserved part of the
• 1:06:58
  sentence, because of the other case.
• 1:07:22
  Court symptoms is the defendant to 100 and 180 days with zero
• 1:07:29
  days of credit while I give zero days of credit because it's not
• 1:07:33
  entitled. I have taken it into
• 1:07:35
  consideration and establishing what I believe their reasonable
• 1:07:39
  portion of sense. It's also it's also consistent
• 1:07:44
  with the recommendation from the community.
• 1:07:47
  The Department of Corrections are.
• 1:07:50
  I will say I did have here on my initial Post-its.
• 1:07:57
  I've got. The give the 30065 days.
• 1:08:01
  What? if everything else, and Back
• 1:08:06
  that you already got something, some part of this stuff just
• 1:08:09
  seemed like you should have gotten credit for some of that.
• 1:08:11
  Anyways, All right. Mr. Harrison is bringing you two
• 1:08:16
  copies of one document that you're going to place your
• 1:08:18
  initials on the first copy doing.
• 1:08:21
  So neither Alexa Norway's in your rights.
• 1:08:23
  It really acknowledges your receipts and the other copies It
• 1:08:26
  will take the other copy which this document tells you that you
• 1:08:29
  have the right, to appeal, the conviction and sentence in your
• 1:08:32
  case that are typically done by filing a claim of right to
• 1:08:35
  appeal, if you've been convicted after injury, trial.
• 1:08:39
  However, based upon the fleet, any appeal is by filing an
• 1:08:43
  application for lead to a field if you choose to file an
• 1:08:46
  application will need to deal and you want to appoint an
• 1:08:50
  attorney to assist you, you may complete the bottom half of the
• 1:08:53
  copy that Mr Harrison's, given to you and return for 1042 days.
• 1:08:57
  If you choose not to repeal, you may simply just your copy of
• 1:09:01
  that document you understand. Yes, sir, that I know your mom's
• 1:09:05
  here. Let's give Mom some hope that
• 1:09:16
  method. That's where people make their
• 1:09:18
  own decisions, right? I mean, obviously made a lot of
• 1:09:22
  dumb decisions. I covered them all. but, 36.
• 1:09:27
  That's that's pretty early too. I mean that's young.
• 1:09:30
  You got plenty of time to pull this around and lead a positive
• 1:09:35
  life to clean life and stop with another audience installment
• 1:09:39
  plan. And while orange might look good
• 1:09:42
  on him, manage your hair color and your beard.
• 1:09:46
  It's not necessarily the most flattering outfit for.
• 1:09:49
  So let's start and plus the accessories that you have on,
• 1:09:52
  aren't that good either. So seriously, let's figure this
• 1:09:56
  out. Keep going to Community Mental
• 1:09:58
  Health. Keep getting help.
• 1:09:59
  Thanks and go to, I gotta go to Ohio for my violation.
• 1:10:06
  When I come back, I'm playing to come back.
• 1:10:09
  Cadillac 500 or rehab as soon as I come back.
• 1:10:11
  Have the Human Services. There's gonna help me get back
• 1:10:14

• 1:10:17

• 1:10:20

• 1:10:22
  That's where that's where I was at.
• 1:10:24
  Yeah. That's where is it?
• 1:10:25
  You have any questions? There's anything I can do and
• 1:10:30
  place a phone. Call up there, to Paul and her
• 1:10:33
  team that will do so that, all right, we're here, thank you.
• 1:10:40
  It's TCF live on a Monday where we take today's greatest Court
• 1:10:44
  hits and mix them beat to be beaten back to back.
• 1:10:47
  Let's go down to Florida for judge, Mercer's stunning
• 1:10:51
  rendition of Wishy, the best sir.
• 1:10:55
  It's your diet. Are you here?
• 1:10:56
  Because you've been accused with one count of domestic violence
• 1:10:59
  battery Mr. Jeter. There is probable cause for the
• 1:11:01
  charge, as far as I can tell Mr. GTR, I think you're entitled to
• 1:11:04
  a bond because I don't think you're on probation anywhere.
• 1:11:06
  As far as I can tell, you don't have any charges pending.
• 1:11:09
  Is that correct? You have.
• 1:11:11
  No charges pending, correct? Yes, sir.
• 1:11:13
  And you're not on probation anywhere, are you?
• 1:11:15
  That's good. So I think your entire trip on.
• 1:11:19
  I'm gonna listen to the attorneys before I set that Bond
• 1:11:21
  Mr. Mitchell anything from the state know you're right, Mr.
• 1:11:24
  McDaniel, I know you so Mr. G. I did take a look at your
• 1:11:27
  criminal history and I this year prior battery on a different
• 1:11:30
  female. So for that reason, I think your
• 1:11:33
  sinus eventually to four months in jail and that case I want to
• 1:11:35
  send it to your boss, excuse me, I'm gonna set you on a 3500
• 1:11:39
  dollars, cashier charity, so cash or Surety ladies means he
• 1:11:42
  does not have to come up with all the money he can go through
• 1:11:44
  a bondsman that bossman fee is usually about 10%, but they will
• 1:11:47
  negotiate how that 10% is paid. 300 dollars worth of cost to get
• 1:11:52
  him out of jail. You have a condition of
• 1:11:53
  absolutely, no contact. The legend victim at all.
• 1:11:56
  No electronic contact. No telephone contact.
• 1:11:58
  No contact now if you and she both won't contact.
• 1:12:02
  We'll cross that bridge in the future.
• 1:12:04
  But for right now, no contact. Let me see if your family has
• 1:12:06
  any questions first. You know, any questions he needs
• 1:12:11
  to tell her. I can't talk to you, hang up the
• 1:12:13
  phone. They don't have agents, right?
• 1:12:15
  So no contact went forever, no content.
• 1:12:19
  She can't be held. Criminally responsible because
• 1:12:22
  she's doesn't have a no contact order.
• 1:12:24
  He has a no contact order because he's defended but he
• 1:12:27
  can't talk to her. Now if she wants to have contact
• 1:12:30
  with contact the Jackson County Probation office and they have a
• 1:12:33
  forum or contact say attorney's office, they have a form to fill
• 1:12:36
  out and she can request contact. But until that's approved by
• 1:12:38
  judge. It's better off for him so I
• 1:12:41
  have no contact whatsoever. Okay.
• 1:12:45
  Then he can go to jail if he gets it, would violate his bond
• 1:12:49
  and his bond will be revoked and he would have no bond you'll be
• 1:12:51
  in jail with no bond. That's how seriously.
• 1:12:55
  You should make sure you understand no contact.
• 1:12:57
  Okay? Mister Peter.
• 1:12:59
  Do you have any questions? Okay, so as soon as the money's
• 1:13:03
  posted, he'll be released the jails and give you a notice for
• 1:13:06
  your court date. Your court will be able 27th at
• 1:13:09
  9 a.m. and the jail will give you a written notice for that
• 1:13:11
  day. Mr. Jeter.
• 1:13:13
  We wish you the best. Sat on the Raymond document.

• 1:13:45

• 1:13:58

• 1:14:00

• 1:14:02

• 1:14:05

• 1:14:08
  There's a list of them at the jail.
• 1:14:09
  You also can look in the internet.
• 1:14:11
  I know that we have about two or three local.
• 1:14:14
  You have a list down stairs, still I know that Finch Bail
• 1:14:20
  Bonds Miss Emmanuel and there's one more D&D, they're the three
• 1:14:26
  local ones that I know. Thank you Father the next case
• 1:14:32
  we have a Jeremy Blanchett. It.
• 1:14:38
  Blanket. Good morning, Mr. Blanchett.
• 1:14:40
  You're here because you've been accused of one count of driving
• 1:14:42
  while license suspended. That's been expired.
• 1:14:45
  Excuse me. So it's not as suspended.
• 1:14:46
  Expired more than six months, Mr. Blanchett.
• 1:14:49
  I'm appointing the public defender's office.
• 1:14:51
  Represent you this morning. I'm telling you.
• 1:14:52
  There is probable cause in the complaint please listen to Mr.
• 1:14:55
  McDaniel he's kind of going to tell us where we need to go from
• 1:14:57
  here. Gonna we just ask some kind of
• 1:14:59
  reasonable release options Mr. Mitchell anything?
• 1:15:02
  Oh, I don't remember much criminal history other than one
• 1:15:06
  prior charge for the same thing. It was about 10 years ago,
• 1:15:09
  something else I was that same charge enter 12 years ago, so I
• 1:15:13
  see two, Mr. Blanchett. Are you employed sir?
• 1:15:19
  Yes. Where do you work at?
• 1:15:21
  I work on a farm. I'm a farm hand.
• 1:15:26
  For pharmacy. Fowler okay.
• 1:15:32
  Hey Farm. Hey, cows horses Ducks.
• 1:15:36
  Mr. Which are Blanchett. I'm gonna let you pick between
• 1:15:40
  the bond and the conditional release, giving your criminal
• 1:15:43
  history. Being as good as if you like the
• 1:15:44
  post, the bond, your bond is 2500 dollars cash or Surety.
• 1:15:48
  I am going to offer you a conditional release because of
• 1:15:50
  your criminal history being so good.
• 1:15:52
  Either way you will have a conditioned not to drive a motor
• 1:15:54
  vehicle. Unless you get out of license,
• 1:15:56
  you get a valid license. Driving is fine, but unless you
• 1:15:59
  get caught driving without a valid license, that would
• 1:16:02
  violate your ball and all you release.
• 1:16:03
  You have any questions about the choice between Bond or
• 1:16:06
  conditional release? Yes, I don't understand that.
• 1:16:11
  Okay, I'll be glad to explain it.
• 1:16:12
  So on a bond, that works too ways.
• 1:16:13
  Two ways of bond, Works your boss, 2500 dollars.
• 1:16:16
  You can put up all 2500 dollars and get out of jail.
• 1:16:19
  Will give you a court date. The conditions of that Bond
• 1:16:22
  would be don't miss any court dates.
• 1:16:23
  Don't we charged with any new crimes and don't be driving
• 1:16:26
  without a license? That's how Bond works.
• 1:16:28
  The second way of bond works is you don't put up all 200, 2500
• 1:16:32
  dollars you go through a bondsman you pay that boss.
• 1:16:34
  But they fee. That fee is set at 10 percentage
• 1:16:39
  hate. How much you pay up front, they
• 1:16:40
  have to charge you 10% And then they vouch for your appearance.
• 1:16:45
  So you pay them $250 they have about for your parents.
• 1:16:49
  If you miss Court they have to pay the bond and if you don't
• 1:16:53
  miss Court then eventually you know the case is over and they
• 1:16:57
  will keep that 250. So the difference is, if you pay
• 1:17:00
  the money yourself, you get it back.
• 1:17:02
  If the case is dismissed, if you go through a bonds, when you
• 1:17:05
  don't get it back, that's their fee for getting you out of jail.
• 1:17:07
  That's how Bond works. Because of your history being so
• 1:17:11
  good. You're also being offered.
• 1:17:12
  What's known as a conditional release.
• 1:17:13
  That's different than a bond. A condition at least means you
• 1:17:16
  get out of jail without putting up any money, but on a
• 1:17:19
  conditional release, you have more rules to follow than a bond
• 1:17:21
  has it's it's cheaper. Usually, but it has more rules
• 1:17:25
  to follow on a conditional, you've got the same rules as a
• 1:17:27
  bond, plus other rules on a conditional release.
• 1:17:30
  You can't miss in court dates, you can't be charged with any
• 1:17:32
  crimes. You can't be driving.
• 1:17:33
  But in addition to those, on a conditional release, you have to
• 1:17:36
  report in once a week, by telephone, on a conditional
• 1:17:38
  release, you cannot possess your consume alcoholic beverages on
• 1:17:41
  conditionally, you can be drug tested and you have to pay a
• 1:17:44
  cost of supervision which is 30 dollars a month.
• 1:17:47
  So conditional release usually is cheaper but the trade-off is
• 1:17:50
  its it has more rules to follow. Then a bond us on conditional
• 1:17:55
  release, you're reporting by phone not in person that's by
• 1:17:58
  phone once a week. That's the difference between
• 1:18:00
  Bond and the conditional release.
• 1:18:02
  Any questions about that choice? Then How long is my?
• 1:18:09
  How long does it take to get it over with you'll be in court on?
• 1:18:15
  Oh, your court is going to April the 27th, that's less than a
• 1:18:20
  month away. It may be resolved that day if
• 1:18:23
  it's not resolved that day, you'll get a court date about 45
• 1:18:25
  days. After that, the average case
• 1:18:28
  like this probably is through our system.
• 1:18:30
  In two to three months, is probably an average on the high
• 1:18:33
  end, some go longer but those are pretty rare.
• 1:18:36
  Any other questions? No.
• 1:18:40
  You want to push the bar, you want to accept the conditional
• 1:18:42
  release? Conditional release my
• 1:18:45
  grandchild, the conditional release.
• 1:18:46
  When you get to the courthouse, they'll give you your notice for
• 1:18:49
  your next court date, which will be April, 27th at 9 a.m.
• 1:18:51
  Mr. Blanchett, what's going to happen next?
• 1:18:54
  Is the jail is going to let you use the phone, the staff,
• 1:18:56
  they'll let you use the phone. The reason for that is in case
• 1:18:59
  you need to set up transportation in contact,
• 1:19:01
  friends or family. If you wish for transportation
• 1:19:03
  purposes, after you use the phone and you get dressed in
• 1:19:06
  your regular clothes, you'll be brought to the courthouse.
• 1:19:09
  The reason for that is that the courthouse is where the
• 1:19:11
  conditional release offices at. So you'll come to the
• 1:19:14
  courthouse, you'll meet with a conditionally officer, Mr.
• 1:19:16
  Goodson or Mr. Ham, one of those guys will meet with you.
• 1:19:19
  Go over the release with you, then you'll be free to leave.
• 1:19:22
  So if you do call friends or family you can tell them that
• 1:19:25
  you can pick up at the Jackson County courthouse in, probably
• 1:19:27
  30 to 45 minutes from now. Any questions?
• 1:19:30
  Okay. No answer.
• 1:19:32
  I wish you the best Blanchette, don't forget, go get your
• 1:19:34
  driver's license. Do you guys the Department of
• 1:19:37
  Motor Vehicles? Okay.
• 1:19:40
  We have Deborah Conley. This Carnegie.
• 1:19:48
  Good morning this carnal you're here, because you've been
• 1:19:50
  accused of violent in front of your state probation.
• 1:19:52
  I've got a copy of a violation probation warning in front of
• 1:19:55
  me. It has no bond on it, it's
• 1:19:57
  currently. What I'm going to do is go ahead
• 1:19:59
  and arrange you on this VIP and try to get your lawyer pointed.
• 1:20:02
  If you're asking for one, just call me.
• 1:20:03
  Would you like to have an attorney appointed?
• 1:20:05
  A represent you in this case, Yes.
• 1:20:08
  I'm going to point the public defender's office represent
• 1:20:10
  Gmail. Please listen to Mr. Mike Daniel
• 1:20:11
  and we'll see if you have any questions in just a minute.
• 1:20:13
  You know. April 23rd Mr. Mitchell
• 1:20:25
  anything. Oh, miss Carly as Mr. Bean said
• 1:20:29
  someone from the pope before that court date.
• 1:20:32
  Do you have any questions? All right, man.
• 1:20:36
  Have a good day. Kalinda all house.
• 1:20:43
  It's our house. Good morning, Miss all house.
• 1:20:47
  You're here because you've been accused of one, kind of battery
• 1:20:49
  as a complaint ma'am. I'm gonna listen to the
• 1:20:52
  attorneys on the issue of probable cause before we go
• 1:20:54
  further Mr. McDaniel anything? Oh, you honor.
• 1:20:57
  I just was lacking any kind of striking or you know?
• 1:21:03
  It really revolves around. I think you know a lot of times
• 1:21:06
  that the police special Mary and police for me get calls
• 1:21:10
  frequently from someone so they just want to put somebody in
• 1:21:13
  jail you know. So they don't get another phone
• 1:21:15
  call and I know that was frequently you know interactions
• 1:21:20
  as last week from Mary athlete's Department with her mother.
• 1:21:23
  So you know it's just I didn't see anything in there that Rose
• 1:21:27
  to a battery that we asked for the just take photos.
• 1:21:30
  Look at it. Thank you.
• 1:21:31
  Mister Mitchell here on another complaint doesn't exactly say
• 1:21:35
  that mention any type of particular striking, but it does
• 1:21:39
  make it does allege to there being a physical altercation.
• 1:21:44
  Then when the officer came back, observed a I think they said a
• 1:21:49
  hematoma on the alleged victims head at that point.
• 1:21:53
  I think, in that situation, circumstantially, you could take
• 1:21:57
  into effect that there was PC for a battery by.
• 1:22:00
  I do see the issues that there is that there's never such that
• 1:22:05
  there's never the term touch or strike included in there.
• 1:22:08
  I think if of course he's fit maybe the best way to be,
• 1:22:11
  probably give her a conditional release and then I further
• 1:22:14
  evaluate this and maybe get in touch with MPD and see if they
• 1:22:18
  can amend the complaint. So, the problem with that
• 1:22:22
  argument is this sentence, observe scratches beneath, both
• 1:22:25
  of colindas eyes, as well as scratches long.
• 1:22:28
  Both of her arms, So Andrew did not mean probable cause if that
• 1:22:32
  were the case, they could have arrested the other person.
• 1:22:35
  Just because there's Andrew doesn't mean there's probable.
• 1:22:38
  Cause, secondly, I can't give her a conditional release
• 1:22:40
  because I can't give a condition lease.
• 1:22:42
  Unless I find there's probable cause first.
• 1:22:44
  You can't put any restrictions on the Liberty.
• 1:22:46
  If there's no probable, cause conditioner release Roars.
• 1:22:48
  So, there's no probable cause this off house battery is an
• 1:22:53
  unlawful touching his tracking of another person.
• 1:22:55
  And the complaint doesn't allow you ever touch or stroke struck
• 1:22:59
  anyone. It's just not in here.
• 1:23:01
  That's it's a very simple sentence to to put in there.
• 1:23:04
  The officer probably didn't realize they're in a hurry, they
• 1:23:07
  got a lot of calls going on, I don't know the reason, but they
• 1:23:10
  have to allege the elements of the crime and the element of the
• 1:23:12
  crime, is you touch or struck. Someone saying that there's a
• 1:23:15
  physical altercation does not mean that I have no idea what
• 1:23:18
  happened, but you, this is not, this is not probable cause for
• 1:23:21
  the karma battery. What that means is when I find a
• 1:23:24
  probable cause I have two choices, I can hold you for a
• 1:23:28
  maximum 24 hours. Give the officer chance to amend
• 1:23:31
  the complaint. I don't mind the amend it.
• 1:23:33
  But holding you is the concern and whether or not I hold you is
• 1:23:38
  the pent upon your criminal history, frankly.
• 1:23:40
  And as well as the seriousness of the charge, the second option
• 1:23:43
  I have is just to let you out and deal.
• 1:23:46
  With this case later, this is not me the case has been
• 1:23:48
  dismissed. It means that what this officer
• 1:23:50
  put in this complaint does not have all the elements of
• 1:23:52
  battery. And it doesn't have the biggest
• 1:23:54
  element, which is unlawful touching, or striking of another
• 1:23:57
  person. So, what I'm going to do is I'm
• 1:23:59
  gonna find there's no probable cause you're going to be
• 1:24:00
  released That does not mean the case is being dismissed.
• 1:24:03
  Mr. Mitchell's office will have to look at it.
• 1:24:05
  The officer certainly has a chance to amend the complaint
• 1:24:07
  appears she wants to and include the elements of battery and if
• 1:24:11
  they do that Mr. Mitchell's office may decide to go forward
• 1:24:13
  with the battery. So it's important that you make
• 1:24:16
  sure that the clerk's office has a good mailing address for you.
• 1:24:20
  I don't know where you're going to be staying at because I know
• 1:24:22
  this altercation was with your mother, I believe.
• 1:24:24
  So you need to make sure you get the first off the good mailing
• 1:24:26
  address for you today if possible.
• 1:24:29
  So, they'll know where to send you notice if the state does, in
• 1:24:31
  fact charge you, but as far as probable cause and what's here
• 1:24:34
  right now, it's not there. You're going to be released on
• 1:24:37
  this case, at least for the time being, we'll deal with it later.
• 1:24:40
  If, and when the officer wins the complaint Ms off house, do
• 1:24:44
  you have any questions? No, thank you.
• 1:24:46
  Your honor. Yes, ma'am.
• 1:24:48
  You're welcome. Have a good day.
• 1:24:50
  We've already seen Mr. Jeter, that brings us to John
• 1:24:53
  carrier's, Cody. Mr. Carter.
• 1:25:00
  Good morning you here because you've been accused of leaving
• 1:25:03
  scene of an accident without giving the proper information.
• 1:25:05
  And I believe there's already a bond set on the warrant in this
• 1:25:09
  case of 2500 dollars cash or Surety anything else from the
• 1:25:11
  state or defense Mr. McDaniel anything Mr?
• 1:25:14
  Mitchell. So Mr. Cody, you've got a bond
• 1:25:18
  set. You not be made all for.
• 1:25:19
  In this case today, in the reason you're not, is that I am
• 1:25:23
  not 99% sure. The legislature changed the law
• 1:25:25
  on restitution maybe in July so there.
• 1:25:29
  I think they changed a lot in the state.
• 1:25:31
  Now can collect restitution in these kind of cases for damages,
• 1:25:35
  and that was not the law before around July.
• 1:25:38
  So I need to give the state some time to look into.
• 1:25:40
  This was a reinsurance involved on the other side.
• 1:25:42
  There's a bunch of restitution owed if so, how much and to whom
• 1:25:45
  it's so plus your criminal history leads me to believe if I
• 1:25:49
  proved in all from this case, it might be a jail sentence anyway.
• 1:25:52
  So you've got the bond set for you.
• 1:25:54
  If you post the ball and you'll be released, your bond does have
• 1:25:57
  a condition. No contact with the individuals
• 1:25:59
  involved in the Auto accident that you were allegedly involved
• 1:26:01
  in Mr. Cody you'll get a chance to use the phone and start to
• 1:26:04
  try to post a bond. Also you'll be giving a notice
• 1:26:07
  to your court date which is April 27th that court date is an
• 1:26:10
  out of custody day. What that means is if you're in
• 1:26:13
  custody, you'll come on a different day.
• 1:26:14
  But if you if you're not able to post bond, excuse me, if you do
• 1:26:18
  post bond, your coordinate will be able to 27 Mr. Cody, do you
• 1:26:21
  have any questions? You know, where I get probation
• 1:26:24
  because I didn't receive no letter to come to court.
• 1:26:26
  Because I've been down here, giving your criminal history.
• 1:26:31
  I'm I'm not a proving probation today.
• 1:26:33
  I've seen you meant more times now, but now once Mr, Mitchell
• 1:26:37
  gets a chance to look into the restitution probation may become
• 1:26:41
  an option. If there's a substantial amount
• 1:26:42
  of restitution I owed, and that's the only way we can
• 1:26:44
  collect it. If I finish you to jail, The

  year analysis on that Bond. You can be drug tested and like

  April 27th, would be a court date.
• 1:28:18
  Any questions sir? Yes, sir.
• 1:28:19
  All right, so we should have been You don't today's the
• 1:28:24
  cutoff for the felony, Michael Williams.
• 1:28:33
  You're here, because you've been accused of five charges, you've
• 1:28:38
  been accused of possession with intent to sell or deliver a
• 1:28:41
  controlled substance. You've been accused of one, kind
• 1:28:43
  of smuggling Contraband into a jail that was marijuana, a
• 1:28:46
  separate count of Contraband into a jail, which is a weapon
• 1:28:50
  one count of driving while license suspended.
• 1:28:53
  A revoke knowingly and one kind of possession of marijuana
• 1:28:55
  within 1000 feet of a church. We The attorneys and myself have
• 1:28:59
  discussed. Some probable cause issues this
• 1:29:01
  morning. So listen to the attorneys and
• 1:29:03
  we'll see where we go from there.
• 1:29:04
  Mr. McDaniel, is he going to be half of Mr?
• 1:29:05
  Williams just reasonably Mr. Mitchell.
• 1:29:09
  Whatever Bond you decide to give them and I know you'll probably
• 1:29:14
  address the PC concerns when it comes to the possession of
• 1:29:17
  marijuana charge. Whatever on you again, we just
• 1:29:20
  requested the subject to random uas.
• 1:29:22
  Thank you. So Mr. Williams, The Possession
• 1:29:24
  marijuana within the feet of a church.
• 1:29:26
  There's no problems for that charge.
• 1:29:28
  There's not such a crime in Florida.
• 1:29:30
  There is a crime of possession of marijuana with intent to sale
• 1:29:34
  within 1000 feet of a church. But not just possession of
• 1:29:37
  marijuana within 1000 feet. I think he got a little
• 1:29:42
  confusing here, but there's probably calls for possession
• 1:29:45
  with intent to say upon the number of packages of marijuana
• 1:29:49
  in the total amount. What I'm going to do is find no
• 1:29:52
  problem calls on the reference to church because it's not
• 1:29:54
  coupled with the underlying charge, it should be.
• 1:29:58
  On the others there is probable calls.
• 1:29:59
  I'm just going to set your bond at 5,000 dollars on those
• 1:30:02
  felony, charges each Actually, I'm not going to do that.
• 1:30:07
  I'm gonna set it at 5,000 dollars on the A control
• 1:30:10
  substance on 2500 dollars on the marijuana and weapon and 1,000
• 1:30:16
  on the driver license suspended. That's 11,000 dollars.
• 1:30:19
  Total Mr. McDaniel. And Mr. Mitchell have made some
• 1:30:24
  hats and discussions about the stop the whether or not you can
• 1:30:28
  use a phone under those circumstances in Florida.
• 1:30:30
  And frankly, it's a little confusing to all of us.
• 1:30:32
  I try to do some research myself, at least to me.
• 1:30:35
  Like you can use a handheld device as long as you're not in
• 1:30:38
  the school or work Zone and as long as you're not texting with
• 1:30:41
  it. So I its I'm just setting the
• 1:30:44
  bond and we'll let the attorneys in the judge, figure that out
• 1:30:47
  later on down the road. So your band is 11,000 dollars.
• 1:30:50
  Total, that's cash or Surety. I mean, you can go through a
• 1:30:54
  bondsman and you have a condition of random year
• 1:30:57
  analysis. I'm going to ask Joe to give you
• 1:30:59
  another for your court date, Mr. Williams and that will be seven.
• 1:31:03
  This is the cutoff day. So it's the seventh April, Yes,
• 1:31:07
  April 7th. You want him on that document,
• 1:31:10
  there's virtually no chance of information being filed by the
• 1:31:13
  end. You still want them on that
• 1:31:14
  documentary Mitchell. Given the fact that we may have
• 1:31:17
  to amend the final charge. I would say put them on the
• 1:31:19
  mayor, okay? So in your case, make sure Genie
• 1:31:24
  knows we did that because there's no way that information
• 1:31:26
  father that quick A special with confusing fact pattern.
• 1:31:30
  So your court date won't be April, the 7th, your court date
• 1:31:33
  to be made the 5th. May the 5th at 8:30 will be.
• 1:31:37
  Notice the jail will give you in just a few minutes.
• 1:31:40
  Mr. Williams, you'll get use a phone shortly to try to post the
• 1:31:43
  body. You have any questions, sir?
• 1:31:44
  All the question I have is about my child support.
• 1:31:46
  So when did that get? I know I should have a child
• 1:31:49
  support issue. Here.
• 1:31:51
  Okay, so that's not on the jail sheet mom.
• 1:31:57
  I wouldn't even wear that, but Mr. McDaniel is telling me you
• 1:32:00
  have a hearing today at 1:30. So you've got a hearing today at
• 1:32:03
  1:30 on that child, support issue.
• 1:32:06
  So, they'll do that by phone or video from the jail.
• 1:32:09
  So, what happens when the child support?
• 1:32:15
  Yes, sir. That's right.
• 1:32:16
  You might not be mine. I get out so you need to wait
• 1:32:18

  Where is the more Williams you're here for first
• 1:36:30
  appearance? Accused of misuse of 911.
• 1:36:34
  There is probable cause for the offense.
• 1:36:39
  Although it's it's a little frustrating, here's the
• 1:36:43
  frustrating part gentleman. The officer says Mr. Williams,
• 1:36:47
  demonstrates, ongoing Behavior consistent with mental
• 1:36:50
  instability. This is not the first instance
• 1:36:52
  of law enforcement contact for similar behavior and it's
• 1:36:55
  believed that we use would benefit from father, evaluation
• 1:36:57
  inappropriate services. So, The officer feels like Mr.
• 1:37:01
  Williams will benefit from some Mental Health Services, which
• 1:37:04
  offer has authority to do. It's called a Baker Act or
• 1:37:07
  rather than do that. The officer made in arrest and
• 1:37:10
  actually put it on the criminal justice system to try to find
• 1:37:13
  services and said, of only the route here, she could have taken
• 1:37:16
  to get him services, so it is what it is.
• 1:37:19
  We've got a charge here this morning, Mr. Van Daniel, what's
• 1:37:22
  the defense? This position sir?
• 1:37:42
  I just So Mr. Williams.
• 1:38:33
  Listen to my Daniel I think he's gonna make a request and we're
• 1:38:36
  going to see where we stand, maybe after an evaluation Mr.
• 1:38:38
  McDaniel, I just said, maybe if the last management team can
• 1:38:41
  evaluate him today and maybe he agrees and I think you will to
• 1:38:45
  send him up, send me that report, determination whether he
• 1:38:49
  would qualify for Baker Acts or whatever other kind of
• 1:38:53
  recommendations that they may have.
• 1:38:54
  So I can be aware of Mr. Mitchell anything.
• 1:38:57
  We're in another dot your honor. We can bring them back tomorrow.
• 1:39:00
  So Mr. Williams, what we're going to do is we're going to
• 1:39:02
  ask life management doing evaluation of you, hoping they
• 1:39:05
  can do that today if they determine that you qualify for a
• 1:39:08
  Baker Act which is what the Austrian implied in their in his
• 1:39:11
  or her report. Then that may be the better
• 1:39:13
  treatment option than than just finish you to a jail sentence.
• 1:39:16
  So I need you to cooperate. I need you to cooperate with the
• 1:39:20
  mental health professional. Who's going to come see, you
• 1:39:21
  talk to them. Be honest with them and we'll
• 1:39:24
  see what they say. If they think that you there's
• 1:39:26
  another way that we could get you some help.
• 1:39:27
  We want to know more about that. I'm gonna see you tomorrow.
• 1:39:30
  Hopefully they'll have time to get that evaluation done today
• 1:39:33
  and I'll see you in first to hear us tomorrow.
• 1:39:34
  In the meantime, you've already got a bond that was set by the
• 1:39:38
  other judge. You also have the right to post
• 1:39:40
  the bond, but I'll see you tomorrow.

• 1:43:58
  So both of you do have no bond holds for possible violation of
• 1:44:02
  probation in those other counties.
• 1:44:03
  So you have the right to post on here, but if you post bond be
• 1:44:07
  aware, you'll go to those other counties to deal with that
• 1:44:09
  charts. If you don't post your bond
• 1:44:10
  here, you'll deal with the local charges.
• 1:44:12
  First Mr. Rally, have any questions so wish you the best
• 1:44:16
  for Mr, mcgriffin questions. That's it for our first
• 1:44:30
  appearance list. Anything else this morning, sir.
• 1:44:33
  That's right. We got tomorrow.
• 1:44:36
  Busy busy morning, for judge Wade, Mercer, lots of
• 1:44:40
  contestants, and he's already moved on into some other
• 1:44:43
  misdemeanor arrangements as well.
• 1:44:45
  So keeping himself busy on a Monday, Speaking of which could
• 1:44:50
  have you all here. However, many of you are here, I
• 1:44:52
  still don't know, YouTube's got us Flying Blind this morning,
• 1:44:57
  Noah no idea how many are out there because stats are broken.
• 1:45:00
  So if you're in the chat and have not said, good morning,
• 1:45:03
  please do. So.
• 1:45:04
  Let's let's go back to here on County Michigan more from Judge
• 1:45:09
  Prill. 573. You're against each other too.
• 1:46:00
  As a matter of fact, that's in a day, Mr. Terkelsen.
• 1:46:03
  I apologize again. So the, the court has reviewed
• 1:46:08
  the sentencing memorandum and there is documentation that's
• 1:46:12
  been submitted to the, to the court regarding guidelines,
• 1:46:15
  which will address in just a bit but Mr. Turbo, so that you and
• 1:46:19
  your client had the opportunity review of research.
• 1:46:20
  We have are there any additions? Deletions Corrections or
• 1:46:24
  objections report other than the governments, other than that.
• 1:46:26
  So do you agree with that? Yes, you're right.
• 1:46:30
  Thank you, Mr. Kelsey and injection to the report No
• 1:46:33
  objection report or the guidelines are all right.
• 1:46:36
  And the court said that Mr. Torkelson it's probably because
• 1:46:40
  his batting average was about the same purpose when he hits
• 1:46:46
  when he does connect. He you know, he's no doubt about
• 1:46:49
  it. Good.
• 1:46:52
  Mr. Terkelsen, let's begin with obviously I think about my
• 1:46:57
  objection in my Cleveland or the quarter and I apologize, I
• 1:47:01
  didn't realize I was supposed to send it operation as well.
• 1:47:03
  That was my default judge. Well, I'll take the
• 1:47:07
  responsibility on that because I've just started doing that.
• 1:47:09
  This plea was entered back on November 3rd.
• 1:47:12
  So, I probably didn't mention it at the time, but I have been at
• 1:47:16
  least since January. At least.
• 1:47:17
  I think I have so, okay, I'll take the hit on that.
• 1:47:20
  Sort of Judge, I appreciate that.
• 1:47:21
  So judge me. Yes, I have two objections in
• 1:47:23
  the score. In the first, is the aggravated
• 1:47:25
  use of what I laid out. What the elements are, there are
• 1:47:28
  required to be satisfying your approve, the agreement useful
• 1:47:32
  weapon and I would submit for the release date of my Miranda.
• 1:47:35
  That this would be proper scored at five as opposed to what was
• 1:47:40
  reported out of it mean, and I think that judge because there's
• 1:47:43
  no question in my clients to take your occasion possession.
• 1:47:46
  There's no question he was under the influence of time, he said
• 1:47:49
  tonight and and his possession. Is the internet a cause concern,
• 1:47:54
  for many of the people in the park and there's all called the
• 1:47:57
  police responded. I think what significant judge
• 1:48:01
  is that my client? I don't believe necessarily use
• 1:48:04
  the knife in a way that was threatened.
• 1:48:07
  Somebody certainly set inappropriate things.
• 1:48:09
  Well, in possession, that I made comments about harming people
• 1:48:12
  while the possess the night, but none of the witnesses that you
• 1:48:15
  more than anything. We try to use a nice against me.
• 1:48:17
  They said, he had a blip when we made those statements.
• 1:48:19
  I think also significantly judge, the prosecutors office
• 1:48:22
  has insurance policies assault one of these circumstances.
• 1:48:25
  And I think if there was enough evidence to believe, in fact, he
• 1:48:29
  had a friend people with the night, they would have charged
• 1:48:32
  it. I had a great deal of respect
• 1:48:33
  for Mr. Cows speak, but never once somebody seen him feel the
• 1:48:37
  chart, something he could charge.
• 1:48:38
  And in particular, since when we start wasn't that, There wasn't
• 1:48:43
  a nice present. My client did make an
• 1:48:45
  appropriate statements for those reasons.
• 1:48:47
  I do believe that scoring process appropriate.
• 1:48:51
  I just don't think there's enough evidence.
• 1:48:52
  The score 15 is. So he threatened the people
• 1:48:55
  specifically with the knife. And for those reasons, judge, I
• 1:48:58
  injected, I think at this point should be fine.
• 1:49:00
  Everyone before I was for the probation department store this
• 1:49:05
  matter at 15. Your recently.
• 1:49:08
  Yeah. Okay. interview of a Witnesses
• 1:49:15
  indicated that said that she knows the subject had a knife on
• 1:49:21
  him and he defeated a hold of my brother and his I'm going to ask
• 1:49:26
  you all and immediately got her grandkids and to the camper.
• 1:49:30
  So does that fear there you are and also her son also state of
• 1:49:36
  the same statement in the same on the same page of work and
• 1:49:40
  that is why you are our eyes for it Mr. Housekeeper positions.
• 1:49:46
  Your, as it relates to the charging decisions, of course,
• 1:49:50
  probably. Well aware.
• 1:49:50
  And that's what we said. We wouldn't bring any further
• 1:49:52
  charges. We don't charge everything under
• 1:49:54
  the sun, right away. If need be because we have to
• 1:49:57
  proceed on. There is a Polonius assault
• 1:49:59
  here. We chose to charge the carrying
• 1:50:01
  a weapon with unlawful intent because that carries five-year
• 1:50:04
  felony versus the four years of the colonies to solve as it
• 1:50:08
  relates to the, the weapon as Department of Corrections that
• 1:50:12
  indicated. So there were very Witnesses Mr.
• 1:50:15
  Schinsky. Who told the police that the
• 1:50:17
  defendant had an open knife and his right hand was threatening
• 1:50:20
  to kill them and the other witness which department
• 1:50:24
  referred to. As piazzo said that she told the
• 1:50:27
  police he was holding a hand or holding a knife in his hand
• 1:50:30
  stating I'm going to fuel up her son.
• 1:50:33
  All the same behavior and getting the statement from the
• 1:50:35
  defendant and then further on it says that Miss he's so I believe
• 1:50:40
  it's how you pronounce that once a defendant Had done this.
• 1:50:47
  She immediately got her grandkids into the camp.
• 1:50:49
  Representing to the Senate holding a knife in his hand and
• 1:50:52
  threatening to them all up. So based on that, we asked that
• 1:50:57
  the court agree with the sentencing and hold it at the 50
• 1:51:01
  points. We believe it's appropriate on
• 1:51:03
  the circumstance. The turtles.
• 1:51:06
  And everybody, I can see that the statement I'm going to fuck
• 1:51:11
  you up would cause anyone concern, but that's different
• 1:51:14
  than saying, he used the knife in a threatening manner.
• 1:51:16
  I think that when evidence is after this happened, after she
• 1:51:21
  put her grandkids in the camper, all these same people follow Mr.
• 1:51:24
  Callahan around follow Mr. Kelly and throughout the entire event.
• 1:51:28
  And I think that's sort of indicative of the fact that he
• 1:51:30
  wasn't necessary right now tonight, he was just threatened
• 1:51:33
  with people. And that was what caused them to
• 1:51:36
  concern was the threats. He made not necessarily a threat
• 1:51:39
  with a knife. So the circumstances of Judge I
• 1:51:41
  do believe Oh, thank you. The challenge is to over one
• 1:51:47
  aggravated use of a weapon, the probation department store that
• 1:51:50
  matter as 15 for that. That variables were a firearm
• 1:51:54
  was appointed at or to word a victim or the victim had a
• 1:51:57
  reasonable apprehension of the media battery when threatened
• 1:52:01
  with a knife or other cutting or staff, the defense response is a
• 1:52:05
  weapon was displayed and they can see that there's no question
• 1:52:08
  about that. He's standard.
• 1:52:10
  Proof is preponderance of the other.
• 1:52:12
  So that's what the court has to consider relative to the center
• 1:52:16
  guidelines in this matter. When certainly Mr. Terkelsen
• 1:52:20
  makes a valid argument regarding clearly a weapons displayed
• 1:52:24
  number one number two, as this event is going on throughout the
• 1:52:29
  park. There are individuals that are
• 1:52:30
  following this time. There's no question about that.
• 1:52:33
  However, there were statements provided in the police report
• 1:52:37
  relative to holding the weapon in the air and I'm going to Foo
• 1:52:44
  up to the extent where individuals were going into
• 1:52:47
  campus and that is where I think the latter part of the
• 1:52:50
  instruction relative to 15 is applicable the victim had a
• 1:52:54
  reasonable apprehension from the immediate battery when threat
• 1:52:57
  with an iPhone or other cutting or staff and what respectfully
• 1:53:00
  the court finds out of the evidence standard only once
• 1:53:03
  properly score. Let's go next to obey 3 weeks.
• 1:53:06
  I think this one's a little more straightforward unless actually
• 1:53:10
  significant under the circumstances what the defendant
• 1:53:13
  is being set for what they guideline the world applying
• 1:53:16
  right now is to the crime of carrying a weapon.
• 1:53:21
  And I think the facts are very very clear that on this
• 1:53:24
  particular occasion my client. I had a nice as a sports already
• 1:53:26
  indicated as good proven by honestly evidence.
• 1:53:29
  He was walking around with a knife and the officers got on
• 1:53:33
  scene in order Mr. Callahan to drop the knife within about one
• 1:53:37
  minute of getting on scene. My client didn't factor out the
• 1:53:41
  nights and the officers Welch was evil retrieve that night and
• 1:53:46
  make it safe. So to speak and he had
• 1:53:48
  possession at night however the consultation so to speak with
• 1:53:54
  Mr. Flores continued beyond that for some minutes beyond that
• 1:53:58
  until eventually Mr. Floyd made the inappropriate decision to
• 1:54:05
  strike the office for one time and then went ahead and got on
• 1:54:08
  the ground position was an educated in August.
• 1:54:11
  That happened sometime that straightened of the officer
• 1:54:15
  happens sometime after the night had already been seized and no
• 1:54:18
  longer was Mr. Flooring in position where he was carrying a
• 1:54:21
  weapon with unlawful intact. He didn't have the weather.
• 1:54:25
  So at that point that crime had seized to continue that crime
• 1:54:29
  was not. And then he went ahead and made
• 1:54:32
  it inappropriate decision to hit the office one time that I'm not
• 1:54:36
  arguing whether or not a positive injury it did.
• 1:54:39
  And that being said, that would be appropriately scored under
• 1:54:44
  the r&o causing injury to injury to infected her, but it isn't a
• 1:54:49
  program explored as it relates to the carrying the weapon with
• 1:54:53
  unlawful intent is that crime had already included in the case
• 1:54:57
  laws, very clear, some of the various guidelines you can apply
• 1:55:01
  host event conduct to the scoring.
• 1:55:05
  For example, OVI 19, almost always applied.
• 1:55:08
  But under this particularly there's no name that would allow
• 1:55:12
  this court to consider that behavior and enhancing this
• 1:55:16
  particular guideline. Oh, and so, I don't think that
• 1:55:19
  it should be scored on this particular circumstances because
• 1:55:22
  that injury occurred after this morning.
• 1:55:24
  I think, let's judge. Thank you.
• 1:55:26
  Thank you. Response from the probation
• 1:55:29
  office in regards to page 12 of 14 at the very top.
• 1:55:38
  We officers stated I offered photos of that.
• 1:55:42
  Well, injury in the suspect injuries, so talk about that.
• 1:55:47
  There was injury from the officer that took place all.
• 1:55:51
  So, on page 7 of 14 indicates after the deputy Wells had blood
• 1:55:56
  around his area. Um, that is single was also
• 1:56:01
  really. So there's also injuries that
• 1:56:03
  indicated in that section of the reporter while you're on.
• 1:56:06
  That is why I work. For consider and you support
• 1:56:10
  them at 10:30, correct? All right.
• 1:56:12
  You score them at 10:00. Yeah, sure.
• 1:56:14
  Thank you Mr. Kelsey, as you decide this one Mr. Pickles and
• 1:56:21
  I have discussed it and I believe that it's when you look
• 1:56:26
  at the strike compared to the incident with a knife, we would
• 1:56:31
  argue that. It's one continuous event,
• 1:56:33
  because it starts off with the narrative from Deputy Wells that
• 1:56:38
  when he arrived, he said passed a large man, approximately 300
• 1:56:42
  pounds, like troll vehicle with a knife in hand blade out.
• 1:56:46
  And then, there was this. back and forth, try to get him to, to
• 1:56:50
  drop his His knife. I screamed at him to drop the
• 1:56:54
  knife after about a minute, the man dropped, the knife started
• 1:56:57
  to walk away and then from there he gave him commands and then it
• 1:57:02
  goes down. Where eventually later in that
• 1:57:04
  paragraph he says he struck so if the court determines that,
• 1:57:07
  that crime has ended Mr. Triple zone is exactly correct.
• 1:57:10
  And that 10 points should not be scored.
• 1:57:12
  And then we take the guideline down to 14 to 29 versus the
• 1:57:18
  1938. However, if the court continues,
• 1:57:20
  believe this one continuous event because these things are
• 1:57:24
  all happening at that time, then it's properly scored.
• 1:57:29
  Thank you. Sure some results.
• 1:57:31
  Very good. I think this quarter stands more
• 1:57:34
  than most. All crimes are made up of
• 1:57:36
  elements and the simple fact is one of the elements of caring
• 1:57:39
  and weapon was unlawful in tennis, he had to be carrying
• 1:57:42
  the weapon and that ended when he surrendered the weather in to
• 1:57:45
  the officers. And then there was some time in
• 1:57:48
  the past and I'm not saying judge but certainly minutes had
• 1:57:51
  passed maybe five minutes or so, based on my rock collection of
• 1:57:55
  the video. Crime and a new crowns.
• 1:58:00
  Begin your honor. And that's what happened here.
• 1:58:02
  Carrying them off with a lawful intent.
• 1:58:04
  And then in subsequently, my clients struck the officer and
• 1:58:08
  they were separate events as a result.
• 1:58:10
  I believe that summer instances which should be scored 0.
• 1:58:14
  In this particular instance, as opposed to again, I'm not, I'm
• 1:58:17
  not arguing whether or not happy Rose was injured.
• 1:58:19
  He was it just can't be scored in this particular crime.
• 1:58:22
  Thank you. Same standard approved applies
• 1:58:26
  preponderance of the evidence relative to go only three.
• 1:58:28
  Only three was scored at 10 points.
• 1:58:30
  Bodily injury, requiring a medical treatment occurred to
• 1:58:33
  evicted. Now, we know that a current
• 1:58:36
  regarding the resisting construction causing injury.
• 1:58:38
  No, question about that. This is being applied to the,
• 1:58:40
  the Karen, the weapon with the law and 10.
• 1:58:44
  And I would say, probably over the last, maybe six years, the
• 1:58:51
  appellate courts, Michigan court of appeals and clearly, the
• 1:58:54
  Michigan Supreme Court have looked at these Sentencing
• 1:58:58
  guidelines factors, which are are to be considered.
• 1:59:01
  They're not mandatory. They have to be considered, and
• 1:59:05
  you have to look at when the crime was completed and
• 1:59:09
  certainly at least from review of the preset report and hearing
• 1:59:15
  the accounts of the probation officer, once the night was out
• 1:59:20
  of the situation, Technically speaking and this is under a
• 1:59:24
  pellet, law, or appellate cases. That the crime at that point is
• 1:59:29
  completed. Now.
• 1:59:33
  Common sense is Mr. Rutkowski are frankly, that this is a
• 1:59:38
  common and this is just a sequence of events flowing
• 1:59:40
  through. And I agree with that, however,
• 1:59:43
  courts have ruled that way previously and courts have been
• 1:59:47
  overturned on that. Well, as a result, the crime is
• 1:59:51
  completed. Once the night was dropped,
• 1:59:53
  there was a gap in time regarding the time of the night
• 1:59:57
  was dropped to the time that the assault or the injury occurred
• 2:00:01
  to the deputy, as a result, of course, finds that for, at least
• 2:00:04
  purposes of ov3, on the nice charge ov3, should be sported at
• 2:00:10
  0 on brand new defendants motion.
• 2:00:12
  Thank you to 14 to 29 as I understand.
• 2:00:15
  However, you're thinking any other objections to score in the
• 2:00:19
  guidance for the country. Anything you'd like to say, if
• 2:00:24
  you ask your client before the quarter posts, there we go.
• 2:00:28
  Obviously my point is before the court with, guiding that would
• 2:00:31
  give this court the opportunity to somebody like the first And
• 2:00:36
  as of course, also indicated that the guidelines are not
• 2:00:38
  mandatory, but in fact, our up to the judge and the president,
• 2:00:41
  but they have to be concerned. Exactly.
• 2:00:44
  And I call it as photography, so I'm not a judge.
• 2:00:47
  And as I sit here and I stand here, I wonder if you're finding
• 2:00:51
  your issues, or if I'm asking students, What's the best
• 2:00:54
  outcome that we can have for our community for deaf and Wells and
• 2:00:59
  for my client? And without question I think the
• 2:01:02
  best outcome is it. He never engaged in this kind of
• 2:01:05
  behavior again. The W Wells, never suffer, the
• 2:01:07
  stress that goes along with trying to challenge someone, the
• 2:01:11
  size of my client with a knife that my client never acting ways
• 2:01:15
  that makes people feel threatened.
• 2:01:16
  That money doesn't do the kind of things that he did that
• 2:01:19
  night. And I think that is the most
• 2:01:21
  important thing to come out of this.
• 2:01:23
  And then there's also a penalty phase a penalty portion that
• 2:01:27
  needs to be considered out when judge, I think, what we, what
• 2:01:31
  things before you is an individual, who on this
• 2:01:33
  particular occasion, and it's terrible mistake made some
• 2:01:37
  really important judgments and the poor judgments that he made
• 2:01:41
  were sort of the result of a lot of years of struggle.
• 2:01:45
  And I think I really don't want my sensing memorandum just a
• 2:01:47
  struggles in my clients, have an opiate addiction.
• 2:01:50
  The death of his father and even with that and to my clients
• 2:01:53
  credit, he's really trying to be able to deal with addiction.
• 2:01:56
  He's put himself in treatment on two separate Asians.
• 2:02:00
  He's gotten away from the heroine from the opiates part of
• 2:02:04
  his recovery. However, was the recovery that
• 2:02:07
  in many people. Turn to is over the counter
• 2:02:11
  medications or when they proceeded to be medications that
• 2:02:14
  make them feel better, he was not as a box and instead of
• 2:02:17
  taking Kratom which can be mere many of the same treatment that
• 2:02:23
  Suboxone computers in terms of sort of maybe comes a
• 2:02:27
  replacement for the opiate and he's used in a way that is legal
• 2:02:31
  to the United gas station. He's using the way that is
• 2:02:34
  really helped him. He's using a way that he had all
• 2:02:38
  the time. And yet on this particular
• 2:02:40
  occasion, when you talk about it, he had a completely
• 2:02:44
  different reaction. Are we actually that is
• 2:02:46
  consistent with creating taxation.
• 2:02:50
  It's like Hostess as honest occasion.
• 2:02:52
  He thought people were trying to kill us.
• 2:02:54
  He thought the officer was trying to kill him.
• 2:02:57
  He expressed that a numerous occasions throughout the
• 2:03:00
  interaction with the officer. She was looking for a friend
• 2:03:03
  that no one had seen. He was confused.
• 2:03:06
  He was sweating all the very common characteristics.
• 2:03:10
  You see with one suffering from creative and Taxation and then
• 2:03:15
  fast forward on a half hour after the incident.
• 2:03:18
  He's at the police station being interviewed by the officer.
• 2:03:22
  He was a completely different person at that point, he was
• 2:03:25
  cooperative. He was respectful.
• 2:03:27
  He was a politic he expressed to the officer.
• 2:03:31
  I've never had this reaction before.
• 2:03:33
  I've never, I thought this was a dream.
• 2:03:35
  I thought this was a night when I didn't realize this was real.
• 2:03:38
  All the carpal. Homeworks, was someone suffering
• 2:03:41
  from Louisiana Pacific Ocean? And the first watch to support
• 2:03:46
  me say well, that seems convenient.
• 2:03:48
  And yet. That's what we saw in a time in
• 2:03:52
  which he couldn't have made that up and couldn't have suddenly
• 2:03:54
  decided, oh, I'm gonna Fame having this reaction at greatly.
• 2:03:59
  And then just about two weeks ago, over my email, I get a
• 2:04:03
  notification from the Michigan Department of Health.
• 2:04:05
  Talk about the problem with creating the taxation, when
• 2:04:10
  talking about the fact that it's 2025 say here, this took place,
• 2:04:13
  there's a tremendous increase in Kratom overdoses.
• 2:04:18
  In which Kratom had become much stronger.
• 2:04:21
  That no one knows about it because it's not regulated by
• 2:04:24
  the FDA or anyone else. It's just an over the counter
• 2:04:27
  medication, that people take in clients like mine, found
• 2:04:32
  themselves in situations where they ingest, what they typically
• 2:04:35
  get ingested? And my place not doing for a
• 2:04:38
  party. My clients doing it because it
• 2:04:40
  gives them. energy helpful with the Cravings from the opiates
• 2:04:43
  that many people feel for years after they were going to ask
• 2:04:48
  That's why he's thinking it but I miss occasion.
• 2:04:50
  He had a reaction to just wasn't expected until you step back and
• 2:04:54
  see what's going on and it's creative manufacturers who are
• 2:04:59
  making it stronger for one reason judge to make it more
• 2:05:02
  kick those in the more money and my point unfortunately suffer
• 2:05:06
  the consequence of that. I think that's very significant.
• 2:05:09
  I did a significant because this wasn't a defendant who came to
• 2:05:14
  that. Park on that occasion.
• 2:05:16
  Looking to harm anyone. He didn't come there, look into
• 2:05:21
  threaten anyone or abused. Anyone.
• 2:05:24
  I suspect judge. If it wasn't for the crater, you
• 2:05:27
  would never have seen my clients period.
• 2:05:30
  But that day, he made a poor decision based on that taxation
• 2:05:35
  now. Is that justify his actions?
• 2:05:38
  No judge. I know legally.
• 2:05:40
  It doesn't and I recognized it volunteering taxation.
• 2:05:42
  Even if he didn't mean to get that.
• 2:05:44
  In fact they could. Isn't a defense was the second
• 2:05:47
  crime in Michigan. North shity.
• 2:05:49
  But what I have here to say, no, because they characterize their
• 2:05:52
  colors, my clients Behavior much differently than the average guy
• 2:05:56
  got in a fight with his wife is willing to take on anyone who
• 2:05:59
  tries to stop. Who's in the correct to the
• 2:06:02
  community? My client only closed the threat
• 2:06:04
  to the community if you was under the influence.
• 2:06:07
  I mean, this creative And so, how can we be assured?
• 2:06:12
  That is not to be 8 or using a year, he's going to be going
• 2:06:15
  forward because I know this court has to be concerned about
• 2:06:17
  that. I think there's some degree is
• 2:06:20
  Kind of, well out online is indicative of that judge is
• 2:06:24
  individual that he isn't any longer a threat to continue to
• 2:06:28
  consume that. Your honor is very clear to him.
• 2:06:30
  He first got on on body. He tested positive for creative
• 2:06:35
  on a couple of occasions and your honor said and no uncertain
• 2:06:38
  terms and no more, no more creative. and that was five
• 2:06:43
  months ago, six months ago is He hasn't tested positive since
• 2:06:48
  then your honored, recognizing the need that he has for helping
• 2:06:54
  himself deal with the stress and things along with his wife and
• 2:06:58
  you said he can you use marijuana and so he is used
• 2:07:02
  marijuana hasn't used to create them at all.
• 2:07:06
  Has expressed to me, he's a better person for IT, he's a
• 2:07:10
  better person, he doesn't have to desire for the credit
• 2:07:12
  anymore. In fact trying to cut down the
• 2:07:14
  rare one as well. They didn't want to rely on that
• 2:07:16
  either. But this is a guy who years ago
• 2:07:19
  was addicted to heroin In the pros of that addiction, he got
• 2:07:24
  out of there, found a solution, it wasn't the greatest solution
• 2:07:27
  in the Kratom and is now found a more corporate solution.
• 2:07:30
  So is he going to reoffend Judgment of the future?
• 2:07:33
  But what I can say is if the past comment on bond is in the
• 2:07:37
  indication, he's got a real good chance and you're honorable
• 2:07:40
  against them. If you did, since we found.
• 2:07:44
  But the same program, I think there's not your honor, should
• 2:07:47
  give them the benefit. That if he did, he came out on.
• 2:07:49
  That is a good indicator of what he has to offer this court.
• 2:07:52
  And so the issue that incomes, what's the appropriate sense?
• 2:07:55
  The guy is called for 14 months. I would respectfully the age of
• 2:08:00
  work. I think that's successful.
• 2:08:02
  And I don't by saying, I think it's a second, I am in no way
• 2:08:05
  minimizing without you and I have no way justifying my life
• 2:08:09
  Behavior. He Behavior behaved atrociously
• 2:08:11
  medication. He's lucky.
• 2:08:13
  He didn't get shot in education. I can see that judge.
• 2:08:16
  And thank God. The deputy Wells had enough.
• 2:08:21
  foresight to see if he could handle the situation with less
• 2:08:25
  than these beliefs and my client appreciates that But what does
• 2:08:29
  that serve in terms of society in terms of my clients future?
• 2:08:34
  Because those are the two primary concerns, this organic
• 2:08:36
  sex. 14 months from my client doesn't help Society anymore.
• 2:08:42
  Then a sense of probation with a boot camp.
• 2:08:47
  Component. I would submit that sending my
• 2:08:50
  client to the MDOC immediately today and go into bootcamp offer
• 2:08:54
  Society, no more protection and put them on probation and
• 2:08:57
  recording a boot camp component. The boot camp offers discipline
• 2:09:00
  offers treatment and requires my client prove itself.
• 2:09:04
  And this quarter in society is no worse, all in this Court,
• 2:09:08
  gives them the opportunity to prove himself and if you fails,
• 2:09:11
  he goes to prisoner. I don't know.
• 2:09:14
  That Senator Chris and offer back is Justified here.
• 2:09:17
  In fact, I don't believe that it is Judge and I think that if my
• 2:09:21
  client had been a problem on bond, if you had no choice but
• 2:09:25
  to send them, if my client didn't have a good job.
• 2:09:28
  Like, he has my client didn't have a family support that he
• 2:09:32
  does. Yeah, prison may be the best
• 2:09:34
  place for when telling him to boot camp program.
• 2:09:36
  So what you have your judge? I can't explain.
• 2:09:38
  This is waiting outside. His mom wanted to be here, but
• 2:09:41
  my client said, look, I think I can do this on my own.
• 2:09:44
  I got myself in the trouble. I think handle this and she's
• 2:09:47
  more than supportive. I just see his dad has passed.
• 2:09:49
  He is a guy that he could take a chance on Judge and if you take
• 2:09:53
  a chance and he's going to talk, you have seen power to some of
• 2:09:56
  the prison and even more justification.
• 2:09:58
  It's one of the circumstances judge I believe that the guy
• 2:10:01
  that you're properly is worth working ones, I believe it's
• 2:10:03
  accessible. That's not who has been amazed.
• 2:10:06
  I would respect to suggest that an order probation with
• 2:10:10
  requirement. For the boot camp is the more
• 2:10:12
  appropriate resolution for all the reasons I stated judgment.
• 2:10:15
  Thank you. Does your plan we should speak
• 2:10:17
  and let him know contest point he does, I think you want to
• 2:10:20
  explore if you wish I do. I want to thank the board for
• 2:10:25
  giving me time to show that I can.
• 2:10:29
  Clean my act up and drop things not getting trouble and all that
• 2:10:32
  all apologize to the community that night in the officers,
• 2:10:35
  like, frightened that were on the scene.
• 2:10:39
  To my reaction of the creative. I just that's not me.
• 2:10:42
  I just don't have that. I've been off of that.
• 2:10:44
  Since she's that they told me to stop and it is Thank you, Mr.
• 2:10:52
  Kelsey seem to be have some people.
• 2:10:53
  This is a victim's voice case and please this or whoever,
• 2:10:56
  please silence your phone because you're on her off or
• 2:11:01
  Deputy Wells. And myself have talked multiple
• 2:11:03
  times on this case, I know he wanted to be here at the last
• 2:11:06
  sentence thing. I'm not sure where he was today,
• 2:11:08
  but we've had conversations about this circumstance and how
• 2:11:13
  its effective him I would point out to the court.
• 2:11:16
  This I understand what Mr, triple since saying, and I would
• 2:11:21
  equate, it very similar to the use of alcohol, which you can
• 2:11:24
  use legally yet if you get behind the wheel, and you drive
• 2:11:27
  and injure, somebody, there's no excuse, the same thing here.
• 2:11:31
  Even though it won't even legal to buy, he bought this stuff.
• 2:11:35
  He used it and put a lot of people in fear at the campground
• 2:11:40
  to the point where the police were called and Deputy Wells
• 2:11:43
  arrives. He definitely Wells is trying to
• 2:11:45
  deal with glory, and in his dealing with him.
• 2:11:49
  He's not getting, you know, the the compliance with the
• 2:11:55
  defendant and in turn the defendant had punched him
• 2:11:59
  bladed, his lip. And so from that struggle and he
• 2:12:04
  had to be taken by. I believe it was Sergeant
• 2:12:06
  Woodward, he got there, you know, we look at the guidelines.
• 2:12:12
  And in the recommendations I see the recommendations although the
• 2:12:16
  guidelines aren't the same. Now they were 19 to 5 years and
• 2:12:20
  count one in 19 to 40 years. They're different grids.
• 2:12:23
  So I would look at the the idea that the recommendation made for
• 2:12:29
  at least count three, which was the role causing injury, took
• 2:12:34
  that into account that it was not at the low end of the
• 2:12:36
  guidelines but was somewhere in the middle of the guidelines and
• 2:12:39
  we would ask to continue with that one.
• 2:12:40
  I mean, we know the guidelines are now 14 to 29 but we're
• 2:12:46
  asking the court to consider that as far as the sigh, of
• 2:12:50
  course practice has been and we would agree that it would be.
• 2:12:53
  In this case that if the Department of Corrections is
• 2:12:56
  where Mr. Flory goes that the Department Corrections will
• 2:12:59
  score him and determine whether or not I is appropriate.
• 2:13:02
  They can reach out to court and ask for that permission.
• 2:13:05
  So otherwise we asked him to recommendations and set forth.
• 2:13:15
  Compelling arguments clearly. And according to consider that
• 2:13:18
  before I go into the sentence here, the reasons that I was
• 2:13:23
  involved with Mr. Flurry regarding the was, we were in
• 2:13:27
  the state of flux regarding our district judge Probate Judge
• 2:13:29
  retiring and I had to cover the courts until our new judge was
• 2:13:34
  selected by the governor. So that's how I got the numbers
• 2:13:38
  to Florian, initially by being a part of the district court
• 2:13:40
  process. And at that time, There were
• 2:13:45
  conversations and always the conversation with both attorneys
• 2:13:49
  where we have discussion for regarding how the case is
• 2:13:52
  proceeding. And there was an issue regarding
• 2:13:54
  credit. And this reminds me, the
• 2:13:59
  substance reminds me back in the day of the old bath salts that
• 2:14:03
  you used to be out there years ago and you could go to the
• 2:14:06
  north end of town. Pick up the bath salts and we
• 2:14:09
  remember how that affected not only the stadium, the country,
• 2:14:14
  but this county is well Mr. House case is relative to those
• 2:14:19
  types of management. And here this is to the court.
• 2:14:25
  Frankly, a new best phone is what?
• 2:14:26
  This is creative. You can go right now in your
• 2:14:30
  accounting and purchases. And an amazing me that
• 2:14:34
  something's like this are available, but they are
• 2:14:37
  available. They're not a regulated in many
• 2:14:40
  way, shape or form currently. Maybe they will.
• 2:14:45
  But it's a substitute for other substances with individuals who
• 2:14:52
  have substance use disorder. The floor here as the substance
• 2:14:57
  use disorder, there's no question about that. and, Out of
• 2:15:03
  the night. Any question if you were in the
• 2:15:06
  park at the time just merely observing what was going on.
• 2:15:09
  I couldn't imagine how you'd see it was that crazy that it was
• 2:15:14
  that out of control. Overall.
• 2:15:19
  When you're at a campground merely enjoying your time. and
• 2:15:24
  next thing, you know, there's a practice going on outside
• 2:15:28
  Eventually, police arrived knife is gone but the knife was out
• 2:15:32
  early. And taste assault upon a police
• 2:15:38
  officer. I mean, it it was not a pretty
• 2:15:41
  song, clearly. and, so, the court obviously has to address
• 2:15:47
  that and the behaviors of the defendant But clearly he was
• 2:15:51
  under the influence of this, I'll call it a poison what it
• 2:15:55
  says that's truly what it is. The poison led him to do some
• 2:16:00
  really dumb things, frankly. And I didn't know this respect,
• 2:16:06
  but that's that's exactly what happened. and, We have an
• 2:16:12
  individual who is a high school graduate gainfully employed.
• 2:16:17
  No prior felony record at all. None PS4 misdemeanors, 39 years
• 2:16:25
  of age at the time. But no priority felonies.
• 2:16:29
  And so at first blush, when you look at this and wait a second,
• 2:16:37
  Obviously not a wise decision to substitute.
• 2:16:40
  Wow, I guess it would be wise and then using heroin or other
• 2:16:45
  substance is Kratom, but that was the driving force that
• 2:16:50
  particular night. Now Mr. Terkelsen is absolutely
• 2:16:54
  correct. Voluntary talks occasion is not
• 2:16:57
  an excuse and they can see that. However By conceding it.
• 2:17:01
  They also understand. Hey, look, you have to look at
• 2:17:04
  the entire date. You have to look at the entire
• 2:17:06
  scenario here in the court is looking at that.
• 2:17:10
  That's one side of the story. Here's the other side of the
• 2:17:12
  story. Individuals going back in their
• 2:17:14
  campers in fear. Police officers getting injured.
• 2:17:20
  Tasers being utilized. Now, I was not pointed knives.
• 2:17:25
  Displayed and, Frankly Speaking, when you look at that behavior
• 2:17:35
  as well. one asks oneself, just simply how Or why don't you add
• 2:17:43
  that way? You're here, enjoying your time,
• 2:17:47
  family or friends? And all of sudden, frankly for
• 2:17:53
  lack of better phrase, all hell breaks.
• 2:17:54
  That's what happened. and, The intoxication is not an excuse or
• 2:18:01
  justification for it explains Behavior.
• 2:18:05
  But it doesn't necessarily justify. and, Here's another
• 2:18:10
  example of what the court has to at least consider.
• 2:18:14
  That is the sense of God's Port is required.
• 2:18:17
  To at least consider the guidelines back in the day, they
• 2:18:20
  were mandatory. and as some substantial compelling reasons
• 2:18:24
  to the park, You have to, you had to be within the guideline
• 2:18:28
  Nation. Now we have case law that is
• 2:18:30
  just come out. Last week that and in guideline
• 2:18:37
  range, sentence was remanded back to the trial court. that
• 2:18:42
  even though it was in the within the guideline range, It wasn't
• 2:18:47
  appropriate matters. Can be remedied back to the
• 2:18:51
  trial court in another County and we're going to start the
• 2:18:53
  process all over again. So I guess what you say
• 2:18:56
  discretionary relative to guideline range, I guess it's
• 2:19:01
  clearly discretionary. Because again, the new case law
• 2:19:05
  that's coming out, Is a little concerning.
• 2:19:10
  Now. I don't care.
• 2:19:12
  If it's here on County, Genesee, County Lapeer County doesn't
• 2:19:16
  matter. You have to conform your
• 2:19:18
  behaviors to societal Norms, that that's just the bottom one.
• 2:19:22
  And this court is been extremely consistent.
• 2:19:25
  I least I hope it has relative to considering the guidelines
• 2:19:30
  language. At first blush, I couldn't
• 2:19:34
  imagine if I saw the video of this, it would have been pretty.
• 2:19:38
  And the core Consultants, 29 months. 29 months to five years
• 2:19:44
  at least on count one, 29 to four years on count two, but the
• 2:19:51
  court is balancing all that because when you consider the
• 2:19:55
  guidelines, you consider the terrible decisions made by the
• 2:19:59
  defendant, but the changes that have been happening.
• 2:20:04
  There's been some positivity to Warrant at one point.
• 2:20:10
  That 29, not the midpoint. But with the court finds to be
• 2:20:16
  and this is just remaining, I'm consistently.
• 2:20:19
  Number one and fairness to any individual that comes before.
• 2:20:23
  This court is some sort of consistency.
• 2:20:27
  That when you understand, you come before this court, this is
• 2:20:31
  like what's going to happen. And when I consider all that,
• 2:20:37
  and I consider the Defenders behaviors since then and the
• 2:20:41
  guideline raised now is not 90%, it's 14.
• 2:20:43
  The court could depart lowering 12 months and Counting sure it
• 2:20:48
  could but under the circumstances here and the
• 2:20:51
  behaviors of the day, Which I find to be not necessarily
• 2:20:56
  normal. However, but based upon the use
• 2:21:00
  of the substance. It will be the sense of this
• 2:21:02
  quarter that the definitive committed to the Michigan
• 2:21:05
  Corrections commission placed in the commission's custody.
• 2:21:07
  It's the low end of the guidelines 14 months.
• 2:21:11
  Five years credit for two days served.
• 2:21:15
  Let's just count one. two and count one restitution two Deputy
• 2:21:25
  Wells and the amount of ten dollars ten dollars in Sheriff's
• 2:21:28
  Department wages to pay that if you employed in this is too
• 2:21:32
  regularly scheduled payments Private Business assessment of
• 2:21:35
  130 dollars DNA testing 60 dollars.
• 2:21:39
  State costs 68 dollars kind of three the Arnold closing injury
• 2:21:49
  against 14 months to four years credit for two days served. 68
• 2:21:54
  dollars in the state of cost will be ordered.
• 2:21:57
  That was comfortable five. counts 60 East and exposure 365
• 2:22:10
  days, County, Jail credit for two days.
• 2:22:12
  Previously, served 186 dollars in the state's possible to be
• 2:22:16
  ordered as well. Regarding the essay, I program,
• 2:22:20
  the core can consider that but not today, I'm staying
• 2:22:23
  consistent. As I have in the past.
• 2:22:26
  However it's my duty to inform the defendant.
• 2:22:28
  He is right to seek leave to appeal if he's financially
• 2:22:31
  enabled to provide counseling his own choice cordless signals
• 2:22:34
  for the public expense. He's commissioned the received.
• 2:22:37
  The question there or the questions, both of which must be
• 2:22:41
  executed or open fathers and 42 days is Evidently.
• 2:22:56
  One of the guidelines. As I said, 14.
• 2:23:01
  Oh, that's right. Wouldn't be four years.
• 2:23:03
  I apologize. I stand corrected.
• 2:23:06
  Four, five and six 30065 days, in the county jail credit for
• 2:23:10
  two days. Sir.
• 2:23:11
  Thank you. The portion like he's from your
• 2:23:34
  voice a reason. Yes.
• 2:24:30
  One, three. That is correct.
• 2:24:33
  Okay, so there's no better transcript.
• 2:24:39
  Our house is, this was part of the plea.
• 2:24:46
  Book and that is a delayed sentence relative to count six.
• 2:24:49
  That's right. That was placed on the record
• 2:24:51
  beforehand and it was reflected here in the recording, but I do
• 2:24:54
  recall that so relative to count six defended, And it's a delay
• 2:25:01
  of sentence Under the Blade sentence that correct.
• 2:25:03
  So we would do review of that next year, delay of sentence,
• 2:25:09
  relative to count. Six.
• 2:25:12
  Obviously, there's no no jail time and closed for delay set.
• 2:25:15
  This is not technically a sentence, but the state cost was
• 2:25:19
  still apply and we'll get a date.
• 2:25:22
  There's March 29th, March 29th, 2027, Judge himself dinners and
• 2:25:31
  be remaining at this point. He's romantic Huskies.
• 2:25:33
  Sure. Okay, I got to admit friends
• 2:25:46
  that the, the final sentencing, there was a little bit
• 2:25:49
  confusing, I think. It's concurrent.
• 2:25:56
  But it might have been consecutive I'm not sure and
• 2:25:58
  they were trying to correct stuff themselves there at the
• 2:26:01
  end. So confusing other than I think
• 2:26:04
  we're all in agreement that none of us particularly liked that
• 2:26:07
  defendant that seemed to be obvious in the chat.
• 2:26:09
  I did want to bring up real quick since there was a couple
• 2:26:12
  of people I believe in the chat who were questioning Kratom and
• 2:26:16
  what that is. So Kratom is a tropical
• 2:26:20
  evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia.
• 2:26:23
  Its leaves of been traditionally used for hundreds of years for
• 2:26:27
  their stimulant and opioid like effects.
• 2:26:30
  In the US, it's often sold in powder capsule or liquid extract
• 2:26:33
  form marked as a natural supplement for energy, painting
• 2:26:37
  relief and anxiety and to manage open withdrawal symptoms.
• 2:26:41
  So, we know a little bit about Kratom here in the bunker, not
• 2:26:46
  because we've ever used it. But because it was actually
• 2:26:48
  presented to Beth as an option to deal with her chronic
• 2:26:52
  migraines kind of off the books. Dr. Brain as we call her
• 2:26:58
  neurologist, has told us that he has some patients who have
• 2:27:03
  responded. Well, to it to deal with their
• 2:27:05
  migraines. But he also issued the warning
• 2:27:08
  that There's no control over it whatsoever.
• 2:27:12
  So the the dosing of it the potency of it is just all over
• 2:27:19
  the board and you don't really know what you're going to get.
• 2:27:22
  So from that standpoint, it can be dangerous as well.
• 2:27:25
  So we've never chosen to go there because of the fact that
• 2:27:29
  it's hard to find Kratom. That's actually That's actually
• 2:27:34
  what is marked. So the quality is just not
• 2:27:37
  there. So little more about that just
• 2:27:40
  so you guys know let's do this. Oh a couple programming not real
• 2:27:46
  quick before going the next court first off reminder the end
• 2:27:48
  of the fourth hour today. I have an animals of TCF
• 2:27:52
  slideshow for you guys. That was as the result of
• 2:27:58
  hitting our Super Chat goal on Friday.
• 2:28:00
  That'll run for about seven seven and a half minutes the end
• 2:28:03
  of the show. It's hard to have been prepared
• 2:28:04
  and ready to go. Thank you to those who submitted
• 2:28:07
  your photos. I threw in a few of our own here
• 2:28:09
  and I'll be nice presentation Friday.
• 2:28:12
  We will not have a live show because it is Good Friday.
• 2:28:15
  I'll probably do a bus stop but I'm not sure yet and sidebar is
• 2:28:22
  on spring break for the next two weeks.
• 2:28:24
  So sidebar usually Tuesday and Thursday evening's will return
• 2:28:27
  April 14th. Okie dokie with all that out the
• 2:28:30
  way. Let's go to Texas judge Stevens.
• 2:28:36
  That is a 2019 case and the reason that features so old to
• 2:28:42
  my understanding Mr. Post was in Montana and in Nevada, and they
• 2:28:48
  just brought him back and was crazy.
• 2:28:50
  I mean, we, they blend into the was in Montana to the woodwork
• 2:28:55
  and it's hard to find a transient.
• 2:28:58
  That is true. So what I want to do something,
• 2:29:01
  they just got. What do we have?
• 2:29:03
  It's just you have two cases. He saw some public servants.
• 2:29:06
  Yes, they're different. And they're different.
• 2:29:10
  Let me just Here.
• 2:30:21
  It changes in menopause. Okay, the mystery defense.
• 2:30:44
  You just a couple of things here.
• 2:30:46
  Mr. Pulse is charged with assaulting two public servants.
• 2:30:51
  I have a probable cause after Davis in the wrong file here,
• 2:30:56
  that states a dug. So far was injured.
• 2:31:02
  I do not have a anything on. Any probable cause documents.
• 2:31:14
  And at all, all I have is stand on.
• 2:31:18
  Yes. All I have is a probable cause
• 2:31:23
  affidavit about three times. The copy that states a rate
• 2:31:29
  Wilson was struck but Ray Wilson's name is misspelled in
• 2:31:36
  the indictment. What we're going to do about
• 2:31:40
  that. Okay, it appears that that the
• 2:31:47
  problem will cause every day, but people under three, four,
• 2:31:51
  eight, eight, one was for. It was re-indicted and I have,
• 2:31:56
  right? Or a while Wilson.
• 2:31:58
  I'll check out I just have one, right?
• 2:32:04
  On will on Doug sober as the complainant, but Wilson.
• 2:32:10
  I only have one in diamond on with his Wilson on the front of
• 2:32:14
  the same reenactment. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:32:16
  But his name is misspelled. Okay.
• 2:32:18
  You just a couple well, it's spelled twice Ray Wilson,
• 2:32:26
  correction, and then about Seven words.
• 2:32:30
  Later Ray Wilson incorrect. It's obvious.
• 2:32:34
  I believe I don't think there's a any question when it's clear
• 2:32:42
  that it's a mistake. I mean, it can't be anything
• 2:32:45
  other than just a space. I'm going to correct his last
• 2:32:50
  name to w. I l s o n rather than the way it
• 2:32:56
  is spelled in the second version of these name which is which
• 2:33:01
  obviously indicates a Mistake, which is fixable in Egyptian,
• 2:33:08
  know. That is corrected.
• 2:33:20
  Yesterday. 3:30. This is 2026 already.
• 2:33:32
  Okay, okay. It out to the watch Network game
• 2:33:38
  yesterday. Now my dad used to say you can't
• 2:33:42
  get up and sore with the Eagles warning when you're including
• 2:33:44
  with the owls all night, I know. All right.
• 2:33:51
  It was a good game. Okay, that's that is corrected.
• 2:33:56
  And as you know, Mr. Pulse, you're looking at a third
• 2:34:01
  degree. Felony in each case with care,
• 2:34:03
  which carries with it up to 10 years in prison, you know, I'm
• 2:34:08
  not this, not a debate. What we're not in trial, I'm
• 2:34:12
  informing you like, I have to inform all defendants what their
• 2:34:16
  facing as potential punishment, if convicted.
• 2:34:19
  He understands that's all judge a case with us are sober is the
• 2:34:24
  victims that's being just missed.
• 2:34:27
  That's because he had to just one so 2034881 is to be
• 2:34:37
  dismissed and we're just going to proceed on this one.
• 2:34:40
  Okay, three five, one seven five correct.
• 2:34:43
  Yes. What you need to do is just stay
• 2:34:46
  quiet, don't say a thing, they keep this missing your cases.
• 2:34:50
  I'd say wire and see what happens next.
• 2:34:57
  I think this one looks. Yeah I'm looking at it.
• 2:35:00
  Yeah I can see that this is so this seems pretty certain to
• 2:35:06
  move forward with that. But okay, Langston judge, if you
• 2:35:13
  don't mind, he just put it on one more announcement and I'm
• 2:35:16
  not Gonna ask for Mr. Pulse. He's a transient this Mr. Pulse
• 2:35:25
  had any record of record at all from the state.
• 2:35:30
  Because it's not listed. And I mean nothing is listed in
• 2:35:33
  the Bible, right? And injuries to this man was
• 2:35:38
  what I mean, was he It wasn't serious injury.
• 2:35:41
  Now, Multiple arrests on that case.
• 2:35:51
  This being dismissed, I need to pull that problem after David
• 2:35:54
  out of it because he was in the sky.
• 2:35:57
  It's There's multiple arrests from stemming from Nevada, Las
• 2:36:05
  Vegas. Make a big conviction.
• 2:36:06
  Yeah, I don't see any convictions but my Alpha
• 2:36:10
  reflects that four weeks, four weeks, I think would be good.
• 2:36:15

  Are you all intending this to be a judgment satisfied?
• 2:48:07
  I know you're right. I believe how about a week left,
• 2:48:09
  all right. Mr. Delarosa did you review the
• 2:48:15
  Trial court certification of defendants rights to appeal with
• 2:48:18
  the attorney. Did you understand it inside it
• 2:48:20
  in both places? By signing that you're waiving
• 2:48:23
  your right to appeal. The only items that can be
• 2:48:24
  appealed are written pretrial, motions that have been filed,
• 2:48:27
  heard and ruled upon by the court.
• 2:48:30
  I'm sorry. It's a review, the trial court
• 2:48:35
  certification of defendants rights appeal.
• 2:48:37
  I'm trying to do too many things at one time.
• 2:48:39
  All right, because this is a plea, bargain agreement, because
• 2:48:43
  I followed your plea, bargain agreement.
• 2:48:44
  And because you waive your right to peel, you do not have the
• 2:48:47
  Court's permission to appeal because this is a felony
• 2:48:50
  conviction. You're not allowed to own or
• 2:48:51
  possess any weapons or ammunition.
• 2:48:53
  If you have a question of what that is, you'll need to speak to
• 2:48:56
  an attorney. Do you understand?
• 2:48:57
  Yes. All right, we can go off the
• 2:48:59
  Record. Here's the thing.
• 2:48:59
  If you have a drug or alcohol problem, they're plenty of
• 2:49:02
  places and San Antonio in Texas that can help you with that.
• 2:49:06
  When you're released from custody, if you can't find a
• 2:49:09
  place, you come back here. I'll pick up the phone and call
• 2:49:11
  somebody to help you. And just as a site note, One,
• 2:49:15
  these are things in certain rules that you should know.
• 2:49:19
  number one, if you're riding a bicycle, Bicycles legally,
• 2:49:25
  you're not supposed to write them on the sidewalk now.
• 2:49:27
  An officer may see you riding on the sidewalk and say, hey, it's
• 2:49:31
  fine. Because, you know, back in the
• 2:49:33
  day, we were right by Silas on the sidewalk because it was more
• 2:49:36
  dangerous for children to write them in the street.
• 2:49:38
  But legally, you're not allowed to ride bicycles on the
• 2:49:42
  sidewalk. If you write a bicycle on the
• 2:49:44
  sidewalk and I'll just pull you over.
• 2:49:45
  If you don't use the appropriate hand signals for turning and
• 2:49:49
  stopping when you're on a bicycle and officer can pull you
• 2:49:51
  on over if you're walking in the street where a sidewalk is
• 2:49:54
  provided and officer can pull you over, do you understand?
• 2:49:56
  Yes. All right.
• 2:49:57
  Good luck to you. Thank you.
• 2:50:01
  All right, who's next? Okay.
• 2:50:13
  Attorney. I'm
• 2:50:28
  alright, so I'm assuming the First degree.
• 2:50:32
  Felony is carrying the show. Yes, okay.
• 2:50:50
  Video. All right.
• 2:50:50
  So have you received all discovery just now you are.
• 2:50:54
  There was some surveillance footage that we were on the
• 2:50:56
  lookout for hadn't been uploaded.
• 2:50:58
  Apparently, it was in the format that couldn't be uploaded.
• 2:51:00
  So just this morning I was handed a DVD with that video
• 2:51:04
  surveillance footage. The only problem right now is
• 2:51:07
  that it's not a continuous 10. 20 minute video.
• 2:51:09
  It's broken up a little pieces. Not even an order.
• 2:51:13
  I have a chance to go through all of it across here.
• 2:51:17
  But I'm hoping a week. Two weeks we can come back.
• 2:51:20
  All right. How old are you?
• 2:51:22
  I'm sorry, 22 Norma. I need to play deadline date in
• 2:51:29
  May and counsel. If you want to come back sooner
• 2:51:31
  than that. You can come back sooner.
• 2:51:32
  Yes. All right, is that enough time
• 2:51:36
  for you? Yes.
• 2:51:37
  So, we'll be back on May 14th and that will be your pleaded
• 2:51:40
  line date. The your attorney will let me
• 2:51:43
  know whether or not you reaching agreement with the state.
• 2:51:45
  If you have not your next court date will be a jury trial date.
• 2:51:49
  All right. Thank you.
• 2:51:56
  All right, friends, let's change it up.
• 2:51:57
  We'll go up to Ohio. This is Judge O'Donnell or as I
• 2:52:02
  like to call him, judge f word. Now, what you want to do?
• 2:52:07
  Yes, sure. What's your plead to the
• 2:52:10
  allegation? Guilty.
• 2:52:14
  Except your guilty clean. Find your guilty.
• 2:52:18
  Well, go ahead. John I'm doing.
• 2:52:21
  I really took it and I really listened to you.
• 2:52:23
  When you told me last time I'm not going to sit here and try to
• 2:52:26
  bull crap. You, I was doing really well.
• 2:52:28
  I checked myself in a treatment at the lake house.
• 2:52:30
  Completed it, I got my own business, I opened my own
• 2:52:33
  business now, D&G Cornerstone Solutions, I got my own house
• 2:52:37
  that on, I have my daughter back in my life, every week.
• 2:52:39
  I have not missed one time with her, and I was just started
• 2:52:42
  counseling with her every week. We're going to start going.
• 2:52:45
  I'm really, I was doing well and when I moved to my own house,
• 2:52:50
  I'm not gonna lie. I didn't not relapse on drugs, I
• 2:52:52
  had one drink a couple drinks and then I went back to AA.
• 2:52:56
  I'm not gonna share in lighting you now.
• 2:52:59
  Listen, you've told me three times that you're not going to
• 2:53:01
  sit here in light and I'm not, you know what?
• 2:53:03
  That makes me think I'm not interested in their line at me,
• 2:53:06
  okay. So, why didn't you show up?
• 2:53:09
  I had a drink and I just was scared to pee.
• 2:53:12
  I would pay Peter. That's why I didn't show up,
• 2:53:15
  right? What did you tell Kim that.
• 2:53:17
  I was sick and you weren't sick. No, okay.
• 2:53:24
  So told Kim that you that you had covid, right?
• 2:53:28
  Yes. And that you sent her an email.
• 2:53:32
  When you didn't write yes sir. Okay.
• 2:53:35
  And when she came to see you in the jail, what did you tell her
• 2:53:40
  about having covid? What did you tell her about your
• 2:53:44
  covid? I thought I was sick.
• 2:53:46
  I didn't. But I just, I was on his with
• 2:53:48
  her just today. I told her the truth because I
• 2:53:51
  didn't want to lie, I just wasn't impressed.
• 2:53:54
  I didn't want to let people down that I worked so hard to get
• 2:53:57
  where I was there. And I was ashamed of my soul
• 2:53:59
  because I had a drink. I was really so I got myself
• 2:54:02
  straightened back up because I don't want to lose my business
• 2:54:04
  in my house that I live on my own and things.
• 2:54:07
  And where's your house? You know, and Geneva, right?
• 2:54:10
  Where do you work? I work at DMG Cornerstone
• 2:54:13
  Solutions, what's that? That's my own business.
• 2:54:16
  I open a remodeling business. I'm doing really well.
• 2:54:20
  Okay. When did he take that?
• 2:54:26
  Urine test Kim. The first one on 318.
• 2:54:34
  Okay. And then I went down to the jail
• 2:54:37
  the following day and got another one on Three 19.
• 2:54:41
  I bless you. Thank you.
• 2:54:42
  Now, what did you what did you take before you went and took
• 2:54:46
  that your test? What did I take?
• 2:54:48
  I drink a detox drink. Okay.
• 2:54:51
  Why did you drink a detox drink? Just for sure.
• 2:54:53
  I'll be clean. From what from alcohol.
• 2:54:57
  Okay. Of course, you know, I have no
• 2:55:03
  way of knowing whether you're telling me the truth or not.
• 2:55:05
  Right? Yes, I really am because I know
• 2:55:08
  that I, I like, to verify things.
• 2:55:10
  I cannot possibly verify that can I know you can't, okay?
• 2:55:15
  And I can't verify because you don't show up.
• 2:55:20
  You know what? That makes me think.
• 2:55:23
  What do you think? That makes me think.
• 2:55:26
  Yeah, I'm not reliable that you're using drugs but there's a
• 2:55:31
  lot of times people don't show up so they don't have to take a
• 2:55:33
  urine test. So the drug won't be detected.
• 2:55:37
  It wasn't this time I didn't use no drugs around.
• 2:55:39
  I really only drink, I'm being honest with you.
• 2:55:46
  It's that's it. Isn't that asking an awful lot
• 2:55:49
  of me to believe that you're being honest with me, when I
• 2:55:51
  look at Your records since you've been here?
• 2:55:54
  Yes, your third violation in it. Yes.
• 2:55:56
  Right. And you were here on a pretty
• 2:56:00
  serious charge, weren't you? Yes.
• 2:56:03
  Okay. so, Anything you like to say, Mr?
• 2:56:13
  D. I believe he's been honest with
• 2:56:16
  you, he's opened up. I think that you the message has
• 2:56:18
  been sent to him, we asked is quite a time so long to get back
• 2:56:22
  to his business. You are How many times have you
• 2:56:27
  seen Kim? So she's been supervising.
• 2:56:30
  You are probably quite a bit. She's always been fair to me.
• 2:56:33
  She's always times. Did you see him Kim?
• 2:56:36
  Do you know off him? roughly, when you just Was
• 2:56:46
  prayer transferred to me from Jamie, but I'm not sure exactly
• 2:56:50
  what that was like. Were you seen him a number of
• 2:56:54
  you? Says when he got out of lake
• 2:56:59
  houses, when he started seeing him, why did you get out of lake
• 2:57:02
  house? Back in August, okay, and you'd
• 2:57:05
  seen her every what week or two weeks or what every week every
• 2:57:08
  week. Yes, okay.
• 2:57:11
  When did it switch to two weeks and never switched it two weeks.
• 2:57:15
  He missed. Okay, all right, that's right.
• 2:57:16
  Okay so, so, Why do you assume that she's not very smart.
• 2:57:29
  Why do you make that assumption? I never thought that, I never
• 2:57:32
  thought that was. Well, it doesn't take her long.
• 2:57:35
  To figure out her probationers when they're doing what they're
• 2:57:40
  supposed to do. And when they're not to, when
• 2:57:43
  they're not supposed to do. Doesn't take her very long.
• 2:57:48
  So she knew That there was something off with you.
• 2:57:53
  When it got to a certain point. and, Did you really think that
• 2:58:00
  you were going to fool her with this line of crap that you had
• 2:58:03
  covid and couldn't show? No, okay.
• 2:58:09
  Because I gotta tell you, she didn't believe you, right?
• 2:58:11
  From the word, go. I know, I understand.
• 2:58:14
  And then when you showed up with that urine that was some Foreign
• 2:58:20
  color. She knew something was wrong,
• 2:58:24
  but she still wouldn't admit something.
• 2:58:30
  So, this is your third one here. Am I gonna make some magic
• 2:58:37
  assumption going forward? That you're actually going to do
• 2:58:39
  what you're supposed to do and not screw around anymore?
• 2:58:41
  I really am your honor because I have, I don't want to let my kid
• 2:58:45
  down, like, I really got just got her.
• 2:58:47
  I've been, she has been back in my life for three months right
• 2:58:49
  now. How old is she?
• 2:58:50
  She's eight years old. Where is she right now?
• 2:58:53
  She's with her mother. And I get her this weekend and I
• 2:58:56
  have not missed appointment in her, she's not getting along
• 2:58:58
  really well. We're starting, well, we use
• 2:59:01
  less. When did you last have ever?
• 2:59:02
  So the phone, I get her every two weeks.
• 2:59:07
  How long you been in jail? I've been in jail for almost so
• 2:59:10
  14 days. So you didn't when is the last
• 2:59:13
  time you had that oh, the weekend before I came to jail.
• 2:59:16
  When were you supposed to have her again?
• 2:59:18
  I'm supposed to have her this weekend again so every third
• 2:59:20
  weekend. Yep.
• 2:59:23
  And I talked to her yesterday on the phone.
• 2:59:27
  What's her mother going to do about this?
• 2:59:28
  She was she's still part of my life because of how good I'm
• 2:59:31
  doing and things. And, you know, if you She's
• 2:59:35
  upset that. I'm back in jail.
• 2:59:36
  Okay? You can't tell me how good
• 2:59:38
  you're doing, okay? When you're in jail again,
• 2:59:41
  you're right a third time, I guess.
• 2:59:46
  Because this was a very serious. Offense.
• 2:59:52
  Do you remember the offense? Yes, okay. so, if you, if you
• 3:00:00
  Try to fail to three times. Why should I go along with it
• 3:00:03
  again? Shit on her.
• 3:00:06
  I'm not gonna even say you should but I just I really I
• 3:00:10
  worked hard last time because I'm very embarrassed to be back
• 3:00:12
  here in front of you and all I can say is that I really took
• 3:00:15
  what you said to me to heart and that's why I was trying to
• 3:00:18
  listen to me, listen to me, if you took the heart, okay, then
• 3:00:21
  when you, if I'm going to assume for a minute, everything you
• 3:00:25
  told me today is true, okay? If you took at the heart, he
• 3:00:30
  would pick up the phone and said, Kim, I screwed up.
• 3:00:34
  I had a drink yesterday. You know what can I do now?
• 3:00:40
  And what do you think? Kim would have done?
• 3:00:43
  Sure, he brought she Universe, she would have helped me should
• 3:00:45
  have all right, sources, and she would have to do what I needed.
• 3:00:48
  You're right. And I was just shamed.
• 3:00:50
  I was embarrassed to myself because I was, you know, you get
• 3:00:53
  over yourself. Will you get over yourself?
• 3:01:00
  Could all you do is. You have this tendency to dig
• 3:01:04
  that hole deeper instead of climbing out of it.
• 3:01:28
  Got a sponsor, get her. How often you go to the AA
• 3:01:34
  meetings? I go to Five a week.
• 3:01:38
  Do you provide proof of that to Kim?
• 3:01:39
  Yes, I was. I have I was on an app.
• 3:01:43
  But now that I moved out of the Sober House, you run an air
• 3:01:46
  whatever I lived at Sober House, I lived it just sober house.
• 3:01:49
  So I just moved out because I just moved in my own house that
• 3:01:53
  I got. So now I'd have to get a paper
• 3:01:55
  sign it. But I had a app because when you
• 3:01:58
  live there, you just check in the app and it shows you how
• 3:02:01
  many meetings you attend, you go to the meetings.
• 3:02:04
  Yes, I do. Physically, go to the meeting's,
• 3:02:06
  not looking at them on your phone.
• 3:02:08
  No, absolutely go to him. You have to be at the meetings.
• 3:02:11
  That's the only way they will check you in.
• 3:02:16
  How long you been in jail? I've been in jail for 13 days
• 3:02:20
  today. It's the 18th.
• 3:02:27
  You make it any money in jail? No, you're on her.
• 3:02:29
  You lose the money in jail. Yes, I'm gonna lose my house.
• 3:02:32
  That I just worked so hard to get.
• 3:02:59
  All right, I'm going to continue you on community control.
• 3:03:05
  And serve 13 days with credit for 13.
• 3:03:13
  You're going to continue with all the terms of your community
• 3:03:16
  control that I imposed. The last two times you were
• 3:03:24
  here, that have not yet been completed.
• 3:03:27
  Just trying to. Thank you so much and I will try
• 3:03:31
  not to let you down. I promise you.
• 3:03:32
  Hey, don't Don't live your life. Trying to not.
• 3:03:36
  Let me down. Okay.
• 3:03:39
  Why don't you not let yourself and your daughter down?
• 3:03:41
  That'd be a better plan. Thank you, anything else?
• 3:03:47
  All right. Okie dokie friends.
• 3:03:51
  Um, since there was talk in the chat about the the alcohol detox
• 3:03:56
  drink that he referenced I looked it up.
• 3:04:04
  He's probably talking about drinks like rescue cleanse detox
• 3:04:08
  or a cute carbo detox drink. So, these are marketed to dilute
• 3:04:14
  your urine, by making a drink, a lot of fluids add vitamins,
• 3:04:17
  like, vitamin B. To keep urine looking normal in
• 3:04:20
  color and they often include creatine, so, lab markers.
• 3:04:24
  Won't flag a dilution. However, there have apparently
• 3:04:30
  been advances in tests, which, pretty, much cancel out any of
• 3:04:34
  these things because number one, they don't work anyways, but
• 3:04:37
  they specifically look for abnormal creatine levels, color
• 3:04:43
  consistency, dilution stuff like that.

• 3:04:49
  test positive anyways or come back diluted which will lead to
• 3:04:54
  a bad sample and get you in trouble that way.

  restitution amount then for his business, maybe he may not even
• 3:08:19
  know. you know, they may walk out of there after they treated
• 3:08:24
  him and then but I know. Hospital puts it on the books

  somehow as a expense. And if there is the people don't
• 3:08:38
  absorb the payment by High taxes, plus her medical costs
• 3:08:44
  for our insurance. That we all because, People.
• 3:08:51
  Intentionally stabbing others. And then the treatment is

  You are mentally competent to enter this.
• 3:11:30
  Please there's sufficient evidence.
• 3:11:33
  Supporting States exhibit wanted here to find a reasonable doubt.
• 3:11:38
  However they should only reached I am going to defer or postpone
• 3:11:43
  finding it goes so long conditioned to pawn.
• 3:11:46
  You following these terms and conditions of probation which
• 3:11:50
  probation officers going to go over with you.
• 3:11:54
  It make sure you follow them because it can be fail before
• 3:11:56
  they should be revoked. You could then be found guilty
• 3:12:02
  and stuff to life in prison. Do you understand?
• 3:12:04
  No less than five up to life in prison, so There's a premium
• 3:12:09
  here on the requirement of you to follow these rules and
• 3:12:14
  conditions of probation. Restitution it's stating them
• 3:12:19
  there could be restitution just to what may be or some other
• 3:12:32
  entity or people. Who absorb the cost?
• 3:12:36
  for this intentional crime and that's only fair that you the
• 3:12:44
  responsible person in all cases who make a male and admit to it.
• 3:12:49
  You have to pay the cost back. people who are involved and it
• 3:12:55
  shouldn't pay in the way for anybody else's mistakes and that
• 3:12:59
  not only goes to you for me and for everybody else we're all
• 3:13:02
  responsible. the fixing their own messes and that will be
• 3:13:07
  included I'd like to I'd like to know where we stand on that
• 3:13:12
  because the court and unless something is happens.
• 3:13:20
  We that we find out that we don't know about that defies
• 3:13:24
  logic something this costs at all hospital treatment always
• 3:13:29
  costs it costs someone. This is an intentional act that
• 3:13:34
  you're going to have to repay somehow.
• 3:13:37
  Let me understand. So restitution will be ordered
• 3:13:40
  in an amount to be determined after the probation office has a
• 3:13:44
  house and report for help. Make sure you follow this and
• 3:13:50
  you move on with your life and make better choice.
• 3:13:55
  Anything else? No, that's something okay.
• 3:14:01
  Friends, let's stay in the building, but we will go next
• 3:14:05
  door and say good morning to judge West.
• 3:14:13
  All right. So again, you're Brandon Griffin
• 3:14:15

• 3:14:19
  agreement instead of going to trials that correct.
• 3:14:21
  Yes, just and Mr. Hospital your client play the formal reading
• 3:14:24

  them? And you understand if I follow
• 3:15:27
  the agreement that you made with the district attorney you'll be
• 3:15:29
  waving or giving up any right to appeal and it looks like the
• 3:15:33
  agreement is for 30 days in the Jefferson County Jail that you
• 3:15:37
  all have checked and you have credit for 14 already.
• 3:15:39
  And the agreement is for me to reset sentencing to a different
• 3:15:45
  date. So the you have time to kind of
• 3:15:46
  get your Affairs in order. So that you can go serve that
• 3:15:48
  time out. Is that your understanding?
• 3:15:51
  Um and are you a US citizen state Tenors number one no just
• 3:15:55
  admitted. Is there any evidence that Mr?
• 3:15:57

• 3:16:15
  the 22nd it's a Wednesday. So it's kind of a different day
• 3:16:19
  because of that week is kind of off week.
• 3:16:22
  So we'll have document at 9:00 that morning.
• 3:16:25
  It's very important that you're here on time and also that you
• 3:16:30
  are not arrested for anything between now and when we come
• 3:16:32
  back and we'll go forward with your sentencing at that time and
• 3:16:35
  we do not need a present in this report.
• 3:16:37
  All right, let's see if it's sentencing.
• 3:16:39
  Thank you, thank you for working that out.
• 3:16:43
  Just Right quick and easy and judge West.
• 3:16:54
  Court. This morning, let's go back to
• 3:16:55
  here on County. New contestant in front of
• 3:16:57
  Judge, Prill. Okay.
• 3:17:07
  People are represented by prosecuting attorney Timothy
• 3:17:09
  Jerry Rutkowski by the way history, on January 30th of this
• 3:17:13
  year, which if any kind of a guilty plea without writing.
• 3:17:16
  While on toxic kids, are the serious injury, this is Karen,
• 3:17:19
  Evelyn prepared, the precepts reports dated March, 1720 26 Mr.
• 3:17:23
  Feral and in your client identity, to review the
• 3:17:26
  research, we had here, the additions deletions questions or
• 3:17:31
  objections or other than that believe you're entered that.
• 3:17:34
  There are no other editions Corrections might find
• 3:17:37
  syndicating Builder no judgment of the guidelines on presuming
• 3:17:40
  as well. Yes that's correct.
• 3:17:41
  Which reports know you're right. Thank you.
• 3:17:47
  Like to say we have your client before the court in post effects
• 3:17:51
  just briefly, you're right. Judge my client has really.
• 3:17:55
  This has been quite the weight of line or over here has
• 3:18:04
  happened. My client has finally comes with
• 3:18:07
  the realization that he cannot drink alcohol.
• 3:18:11
  Is. And I'm not saying it is
• 3:18:14
  mother's house. She was diagnosis, and she is
• 3:18:21
  now available. Six years, clean from alcohol.
• 3:18:24
  And I think my clients biological father TV does not
• 3:18:28
  know. It's also the reason he is no
• 3:18:32
  water with my client's mother is because he had an addiction
• 3:18:35
  problem as well. Not alcohol.
• 3:18:36
  But that, I can't believe this drugs, but in any event.
• 3:18:39
  So, the genetic predisposition is within my client.
• 3:18:44
  And I think it grabbed a hold of, as a reported case when he
• 3:18:48
  was going attending Michigan State University.
• 3:18:51
  That's where is alcohol. Consumption, really took off and
• 3:18:55
  he indicated that honestly and openly but many of them, this
• 3:19:04
  census tragic of that does occur and I want to apologize.
• 3:19:08
  I think my clients just as well. She's really sustaining
• 3:19:13
  significant injuries and I hope that I pray.
• 3:19:18
  That she will overcome them and I hope she gets some less of her
• 3:19:22
  life back I genuinely do but from reading the report and
• 3:19:27
  she's had some very significant reset.
• 3:19:29
  She's had some very serious about wandering to help at
• 3:19:34
  least, try to get back to her. And I don't believe she's there
• 3:19:38
  as of yet um, in any event Here through this, my client has
• 3:19:44
  placed himself in treatment. He's in counseling, he goes
• 3:19:49
  twice per month, is on my weekly basis, and he's been seeing a
• 3:19:56
  counselor since this has occurred in July of 2024.
• 3:19:59
  And this it was on the weekend of July. 4th, this is true.
• 3:20:02
  I'm not trying to make an excuse for my client, which is the
• 3:20:05
  report pathway of understanding I don't think this was something
• 3:20:10
  like mine was doing every day but as he indicated in this
• 3:20:12
  report when he was drinking he couldn't stop.
• 3:20:15
  He could. And that is where he has made
• 3:20:19
  the commitment to understanding and the admission that he is an
• 3:20:23
  alcohol. He is powerless over alcohol.
• 3:20:26
  Since that point in time, he hasn't drank.
• 3:20:29
  He's got almost two years old and he continues to work and
• 3:20:35
  learn about his addiction. Now he's also helping other
• 3:20:42
  people, he has a sponsor and I mean, he's really doing
• 3:20:46
  everything in his power to try and do what he canceled that
• 3:20:54
  this never ever happens ever again.
• 3:21:00
  Um, and I provided that proved to work the last time of letters
• 3:21:05
  from various people that he's in contact with now.
• 3:21:08
  And from his sponsor Ridley, as well as Peter Healy, the
• 3:21:13
  counselor, he's really doing everything we can to try and
• 3:21:19
  overcome this and learn from his significant.
• 3:21:23
  Let's say here at mistakes in the past.
• 3:21:26
  With that being said, you are, I can't argue with the
• 3:21:33
  recommendation and the Probation, Department's report
• 3:21:38
  and are you with it at all? The only thing I would ask you,
• 3:21:42
  your honor is to Consider a blended sense of the Court, will
• 3:21:49
  it? I guess, I am trying to help my
• 3:21:56
  clients stand, the right hand and trying to help him maintain
• 3:21:59
  his family and trying to help him maintain his job.
• 3:22:03
  And certainly those are all the importance of But the report,
• 3:22:07
  you know, they wanted to keep working and do all that we
• 3:22:09
  certainly understand, we're not saying before you as to be so
• 3:22:13
  foolish to believe that no one Cars creation is the line.
• 3:22:16
  Certainly it is and I was even going to ask you to your honor
• 3:22:19
  to consider a longer probationary term.
• 3:22:22
  So that the court can be assured that you know first of all you
• 3:22:26
  can more control over my client and make sure that he's true to
• 3:22:31
  the words that I think he's going to speak to you about here
• 3:22:34
  today about maintaining his variety and not overcoming
• 3:22:38
  before you even I think you own any store, you know that he's
• 3:22:42
  not following rules or anything because he said we cannot hear,
• 3:22:45
  he just can't. So with that being said, you're
• 3:22:49
  under he has repented. There was one other thing.
• 3:22:51
  I wanted to address that came to me this weekend and I hope this
• 3:22:55
  doesn't offend anybody in the courtroom, but it seems to me
• 3:22:58
  that I go to church every week trying to find this service.
• 3:23:04
  I don't like, it seems to me every time I hear a start. it's
• 3:23:09
  almost like the pastor is a preachers talking directly and
• 3:23:13
  this research was a moment, you know, people's and you know,
• 3:23:19
  they talk about Christianity or they talk about being the big
• 3:23:22
  believer in spiritual but it's only, you know, on the weekends
• 3:23:25
  maybe for an hour and they might talk about it during the week
• 3:23:28
  when they're Doing some Bible studying their Idols become at
• 3:23:32
  least for me earlier in my days, you know as a work all the time.
• 3:23:35
  That was I don't work and for money and trying to take care of
• 3:23:39
  my family and get my kids involved in the best activities
• 3:23:42
  I could which was foolish. I mean the higher it should be
• 3:23:45
  God white family that for me and that's what I try to live by and
• 3:23:51
  when I heard the pastor talking this weekend, I thought
• 3:23:55
  immediately my client because I know I was coming in here today.
• 3:23:58
  I'm not and I thought my God and all this poor guy.
• 3:24:01
  That is young age. She's 31 years old and you know,
• 3:24:06
  his Idol is obviously work work work work trying to you know,
• 3:24:10
  get a company as an orchestra taking the company works at now
• 3:24:13
  Presley. Well, I'll be able to find
• 3:24:15
  percent but still an ownership stake at his young age and his
• 3:24:21
  eyeballs alcohol. I mean it was part of it and he
• 3:24:24
  just I don't think he had the Spiritual grounding that he has
• 3:24:30
  knowledge. AAA is everybody knows it, it
• 3:24:33
  has a very strong component of spirituality that your power was
• 3:24:37
  overhaul, your brain to higher power to help you overcome that.
• 3:24:41
  I think he's finally realized that this young age and I told
• 3:24:46
  him on the hallway today before he becoming into your courtroom
• 3:24:48
  that you're ahead of the game at 31.
• 3:24:53
  Maybe I was at your age. You understand more now even
• 3:24:58
  though you're in a tough spot and we were just throwing this
• 3:25:01
  case. You are in a better position
• 3:25:03
  than I was at your age. So keep that in mind and hold on
• 3:25:08
  to that belief. And and I think everything will
• 3:25:12
  be okay. But, you know, we're here to
• 3:25:16
  take his medicine. He didn't shy away from me.
• 3:25:20
  I think he may be even having emotional to talk on this
• 3:25:24
  Neverland, probation department. I thank you for the time today,
• 3:25:28
  just like single score. Some consideration to help.
• 3:25:33
  I know he had this, there's a punishment nature, right?
• 3:25:36
  I can get that. But help my client to manage his
• 3:25:42
  punishment. But while at the same time, you
• 3:25:46
  know, balancing that with Justice, and hopefully being
• 3:25:49
  merciful and listening, literally my words.
• 3:25:54
  Thank you so much for the time. You're welcome, Mr. Gagne what
• 3:26:00
  would you like to say? Thank you.
• 3:26:01
  Your honor and for the regular polish is the court.
• 3:26:05
  I might I have. I'm gonna stop.
• 3:26:07
  You. Never have to apologize before.
• 3:26:09
  This is our job. It was anyone to apologize to
• 3:26:13
  Its anyone who may have been affected by your behavior.
• 3:26:16
  I prepared a couple of pieces here, you know, on Saturday,
• 3:26:22
  I'll be celebrating 21 months of sobriety.
• 3:26:26
  Usually at my AA meetings, they asked whenever anybody
• 3:26:30
  celebrating some kind of Milestone, they asked, how did
• 3:26:33
  you do it? And I had to just, I usually say
• 3:26:38
  exceptions. I've accepted that as a federal
• 3:26:43
  stated. I'm completely powerless
• 3:26:45
  overall. And at the time, I like this
• 3:26:47
  definitely become a manageable. Um, but most importantly I
• 3:26:52
  decided to help. I, I understand now that asking
• 3:26:59
  for how it pays courage, which is something I lacked almost two
• 3:27:04
  years ago and I viewed vulnerability as a weakness.
• 3:27:09
  So, Mr. Fairlane, you touched on some of these things but you
• 3:27:14
  know, a quick summary of what I've done over the last 21
• 3:27:17
  months. I've successfully completed
• 3:27:21
  almost 2200. So we're like tests four times a
• 3:27:25
  day, 100% compliance. I attend a meeting at least
• 3:27:29
  three times a week, either through zoom on my way home with
• 3:27:32
  the Washington Island Club. Many people in this report
• 3:27:36
  actually wrote me a letter of recommendation.
• 3:27:41
  I get through that his own where I wanted to fit in the Eleanor
• 3:27:44
  Club in person, meetings. I know came to sponsor a very
• 3:27:50
  cool issues. As Mr. Carolyn stated his
• 3:27:53
  numbers on here, I I attend by weekly meeting to the
• 3:27:57
  professional sobriety counselors here.
• 3:27:59
  He was absolutely. Okay.
• 3:28:07
  It was weekly for first months and I hear to see him biweekly.
• 3:28:11
  I don't know about every stop seeing him.
• 3:28:20
  I completed the Intensive 12 weeks recovery program called
• 3:28:27
  designer living attended about meeting her.
• 3:28:34
  Several letters of, you know, character reference from other
• 3:28:40
  alcoholics or NBA. So I understand the impact, when
• 3:28:44
  I passed the decisions and actions, I've gone through
• 3:28:46
  Extreme Ways to protect myself, variety of creating supports and
• 3:28:50
  never Been a truly enjoyed it. It is inspired.
• 3:28:53
  Who is inspirational as a motivating motivational.
• 3:28:57
  I share every single meeting. No matter what.
• 3:29:02
  Because I think most everybody else out there, my experience.
• 3:29:08
  I have some more written down here, but I don't want to take
• 3:29:10
  too much time. I did prepare your honor, a
• 3:29:15
  letter for the big one here. I'd like to get to either Mr.
• 3:29:18
  Kowski, or yourself. Stand.
• 3:29:21
  I just need her address or working for her address and
• 3:29:24
  delivered to her, but I felt it appropriate to read some of the
• 3:29:28
  things in here that I drove here.
• 3:29:29
  There's a kind of just sums up or has so Here.
• 3:29:34
  Mrs. Ruth, I'm writing this letter with my deepest and most
• 3:29:37
  sincere. Apologies.
• 3:29:39
  The actions displayed were Reckless immature selfish.
• 3:29:42
  I struggled thinking about the fact that those actions almost
• 3:29:44
  like the one that got back there places and I was changed the
• 3:29:49
  person. I wasn't that day is not who I
• 3:29:51
  am Norwood, choose being moving forward.
• 3:29:52
  I think about you. This is Ruth and the accident
• 3:29:56
  every single day and I was doing anything, could take it all
• 3:29:59
  back. I've had some time to cross
• 3:30:04
  everything that happened in overall had a huge sense of
• 3:30:07
  guilt and remorse for causing someone else harm due to my
• 3:30:09
  actions. I've been wanting to write you
• 3:30:11
  this letter for some time both of his necessary to let the
• 3:30:15
  physical and steel. They would give anything to take
• 3:30:18
  back to dance. Okay, since the day of the
• 3:30:23
  accident, I promised myself and everyone around me to work and
• 3:30:25
  ensure that I never put anyone else in danger again.
• 3:30:31
  We're kind of done is helping to understand that nothing in this
• 3:30:34
  world happens by the state. I strive to be a better person
• 3:30:37
  to be because the events I have. My sobriety date officially is
• 3:30:42
  74 2024 day after the accident. I'm hoping to after the accident
• 3:30:48
  I decided that I needed to start finding out who I was as a
• 3:30:51
  person. And that I was going to need
• 3:30:53
  something more than myself to stay sobering than a simple
• 3:30:55
  promise wasn't going to be most I started attending on Hogs
• 3:30:59
  Anonymous meetings and started to work with other alcoholics
• 3:31:02
  and understand the steps that they took to maintain
• 3:31:05
  supportive. I wanted what they had.
• 3:31:08
  Came to understand that there was a solution for my disease.
• 3:31:11
  To achieve it. I must be opening and willing
• 3:31:14
  opening and willing to work with for it. played on us and
• 3:31:18
  vulnerable and that's several alcoholics to help me along my
• 3:31:20
  journey that continued to work every week with a professional
• 3:31:23
  sobriety house who is Mr. Healy is taught me that there's so
• 3:31:28
  much more to life than I do existed.
• 3:31:31
  So I have another alcoholic, sponsor me to help work with me
• 3:31:35
  through the steps and hold me accountable.
• 3:31:38
  And almost done. Along my journey.
• 3:31:42
  I came to understand that there's something else out there
• 3:31:44
  and more important than me, something much more powerful and
• 3:31:47
  I think God every single day for saving you.
• 3:31:50
  The victim in me without God, and so today's sobriety is the
• 3:31:59
  most important thing to me as unlikely mental life, without
• 3:32:02
  it, Adamant my life. Surely is not the same with
• 3:32:09
  others. I understand today.
• 3:32:11
  That makes a bride must not be taken for granted, and then was
• 3:32:14
  working every day. To drink is to die from.
• 3:32:19
  I know that today. I have a new life today.
• 3:32:23
  Things in my program were covering devoted to helping
• 3:32:25
  other alcoholics and she just say the same thing that everyone

  people out there suffering that I need help.

• 3:33:20
  it is, it's been sometimes since I've talked to the victim but we
• 3:33:25
  had chatted before, I guess based on those, I would, I would
• 3:33:28
  ask the court to consider if it's considering probation five
• 3:33:32
  years of Probation. And then a fair just sentence as
• 3:33:36
  it relates to the rules. Thank you.

  court. but to be frank and honest with you, the court had
• 3:36:14
  discussions. With both attorneys and the
