- 12:24Yes or it's. No in 2003.
- 12:27I had two cars in my yard Mr. Mr. Boyd I'm just asking you a
- 12:33simple question. Between 2000 and 2000. 2024 did
- 12:40this Township send you Municipal civil infraction violations or
- 12:46did they not? Another word.
- 12:49Did she lying to me? Is she lying to me?
- 12:52I wouldn't think so. Okay, so she did.

- 26:19You like what? They're still?
- 26:21What they're still some Discovery issues that I need
- 26:24issue. Some subpoenas for hospital,
- 26:27records, try to find the identity of security guards and
- 26:32see if there's any video from within the hospital.
- 26:34So I would just Text.
- 26:52Heather. Hey, okay.
- 26:55I think we just did one yesterday judge on the 20th.
- 27:00Who's that with again, that one was that carry Moran?
- 27:08That what? Harry Moran.
- 27:10She was that case from 2016. She zoomed in yesterday.
- 27:14I said this one for that day, too.
- 27:17February the 20th. It 8:30, I'm gonna need the jury
- 27:21instructions and I'm going to need you to fill everything out.
- 27:24Like, I just have to read a mister balloon.
- 27:27Okay, so, jury instructions, due by January 16th, we'll set a
- 27:33final. I'm Sorry by February 16th.
- 27:36We'll start promptly at 8:30, on February 2008, on the first
- 27:43February. okay, that will be February 12th.
- 27:50That's a little late, isn't that?
- 27:52I don't want to go that way. We don't want to have to send
- 27:54out notices right on the 29th of January 29th at 8:30.
- 28:02That's the final preach vinyl preach where final preacher will
- 28:06be January 8th. I'm sorry, give me one second.
- 28:12Jury trial will be February. 20th through final pretrial will
- 28:18be January 29th of the third jury instructions do.
- 28:24February the 16th at 8:30, the only concern I have with that
- 28:29schedule is that it's two weeks, going to be enough, time for me,
- 28:32disappear documents, and subpoena, and visuals, identity
- 28:36stuff. Should you know, they mentioned
- 28:41Witnesses but there's no names for I've got to go track that
- 28:45down. I don't know what I, I got to
- 28:51move this case and I'm just saying, I just would like if I
- 28:54get the free trial date. I mean, it seems like I'm not
- 28:57getting a jury trial date and having them send out noises.
- 29:03To the public. And then having them take off
- 29:07work and cancel Vacations, or will get babysitters.
- 29:11Only they have the case. So to me, if it doesn't settle
- 29:15on February, I'm sorry, January 29th, we're going to go.
- 29:19I mean, I don't know what to tell you.
- 29:22It's been it's I arranged him on November 6th, right?
- 29:25And I was on this case and just summary December 8th, you were
- 29:29on the case, whatever age. So I believe, I think that's
- 29:33what I saw. That seems legitimate.
- 29:35Uh, again, if I could serve as a painting, you know, today, Well,
- 29:41I don't know what you do. You know what he's talking
- 29:43about. Mr. Bologna, believe there's an
- 29:45identified persons that work at the hospital, but he wants to
- 29:48figure out who they are in the police report.
- 29:50Was this this incident occur at the hospital?
- 29:57Well, you got what else to tell you?
- 30:03I am not going to join it again. We go one more week.
- 30:07We got I only have Trenton every other week.
- 30:10So there's nothing for me, but everywhere for free I don't have
- 30:14it. I have Trenton every other week.
- 30:19I mean. And you're right, you see what I
- 30:23can do? But I mean, I don't know how
- 30:25long it's going to take them to respond with Sophia, you know,
- 30:27that's all I can do. Is you pin him to the courthouse
- 30:31on, January 29th? The records keeper.

- 37:08So, there is probable cause in the complaint, your wife and a
- 37:13couple of family friends are in the courtroom on your behalf and
- 37:17I'm about to address your bond or your release status.
- 37:19This is a bond request or Mr. McDaniels that, right?
- 37:22Yes, sir. Anything else, Mr. Daniel on
- 37:25behalf of Mr. Contract, you, yeah, he's disabled.
- 37:29He gets disability check from, you know, he was ugly owns a
- 37:34house, don't think he has much. Come on, History.
- 37:36Maybe DUI leaves a minor 20 years ago, maybe, um, so, you
- 37:43know, I like he's gonna have to, you know, I was talking to the
- 37:47Miss Colbert and he's got to get a referral done through VA and I
- 37:51don't think they don't come back here.
- 37:53I think he's gonna driveway there.
- 38:03You know almost tracked. The criminal history, I've got
- 38:11shows, four or five prior arrests in the state of
- 38:13Kentucky. Most recently in 2018 for
- 38:17possession of paraphernalia. Mr. Kondracki, do I have the
- 38:20right criminal history? Or is that someone else?
- 38:23Sound record? That sounds accurate.
- 38:25Okay. So what happened with the
- 38:27methamphetamine charge in 18, how was it?
- 38:30How was it? Not?
- 38:30I'm asking what happened in the charge.
- 38:32I'm asking you? How was it resolved?
- 38:34Was it dismissed, was there this relation?
- 38:37It was dismissed, was this, was there any kind of supervision
- 38:41imposed before the dismissal? And he kind of counseling or
- 38:43anything? No, serious.
- 38:45Dismissed in the courtroom father.
- 38:47Okay, okay. I do see a prior DUI.
- 38:51Also in Kentucky in 2017, and it looks like a prior, see that was
- 38:57in. 1210, at least a charge. and then, Next, there was another
- 39:08prior to you, I charge and June of 17 in Kentucky.
- 39:14So that's what the criminal history is showing.
- 39:17It's not showing convictions that just shows the charge
- 39:19without showing any dispositions.
- 39:20Let me see if the state has additional information Mr.
- 39:24Mitchell anything. We just request that as a
- 39:27condition of his bond. He not possess or consume
- 39:29alcoholic beverages Mr. Contract, you based upon your
- 39:33criminal history, I'm gonna set your bond at 3500 dollars cash
- 39:35or Surety. You have a condition not the
- 39:38possession of consume alcohol at all because this is allegedly
- 39:41your future of an alcohol-related DUI.
- 39:42You've got that condition that you cannot possess or consume
- 39:45alcohol if there's information or reliable information that you
- 39:48are possessing or consuming alcohol that would violate the
- 39:52condition of your bond and you would go to jail or you could go
- 39:54to jail with no bond. It's a cashier.
- 39:57You that means you can go through a boss and if you wish
- 39:59you all. So, have the right and option of
- 40:02putting up the whole amount if you wish.
- 40:04Let me see first. If you if your wife has any
- 40:06questions. And we'll see if you have any
- 40:07man. Do you have any questions?
- 40:08No questions, Mr. Contract, you have any questions?
- 40:12I do not you'll get you the following shortly.
- 40:15Sure, if you post the ball and you'll be released.
- 40:16I'm also going to ask the jail to give you a notice for your
- 40:18court date. Let me be the second.
- 40:21Yes, February 2nd at 9 a.m. will be your court date.
- 40:24The jail will give you that notice after first appearance,
- 40:27wish you the best sir, any questions at, all right, we
- 40:31should have the best sir. Telling, what is that cuddle for
- 40:34the second? Yeah, in which case is Tony
- 40:38route. Tony route.
- 41:18Michelle you're here for first appearance to use a one kind of
- 41:21possession, drug paraphernalia Ms. Route there is probably cost
- 41:24for this charge. I've looked mature extensive
- 41:28criminal history, Mr. Routes. I'm aware of your criminal
- 41:30history. I think you're entitled to bond
- 41:32as far as I can tell. But I'm listening to the Chinese
- 41:34before I make that decision. Mr. McDaniel.
- 41:36Anything on behalf of Mr. Rouse. Mr. Mitchell, we just requested
- 41:41to be subjected to random UA's, Mister route.
- 41:44Looks like you've been to. I think I made a note in the
- 41:48Department. Corrections, four times been in
- 41:49prison. Four times, is that right?
- 41:50Mr? Out.
- 41:52Yes, sir. Okay, it's almost set your bond
- 41:54at 5,000 dollars cash or surely Mr. Route with a condition
- 41:58randomly or analysis, you have the right to post a bond cash or
- 42:02surely means you can put up all the money or you can go through
- 42:04a bondsman that's entirely up to you.
- 42:06Some places, call that a professional Bond, it's the same
- 42:08thing. Mister route, you do have that
- 42:11condition random or analysis requested by the state.
- 42:14And that means you can be drug tested.
- 42:16At any time, you have anything in your system that you don't
- 42:18have a valid prescription for then, that would violate the
- 42:21conditions of your bond. You could go to jail with no
- 42:23bond Mr. Rally to give you a notice for your court date,
- 42:26that's going to be February 3rd at 8:30 in front of Judge Garcia
- 42:29and Mr. Route. You will get to use the phone
- 42:32and just a few minutes or to try to post that Bond, Mr. Route.
- 42:34Do you have any questions? Yes, sir.
- 42:37Which I thought this was a felony but you're right.
- 42:44It's this is the meanest would be February 2nd, not February
- 42:463rd. I was, I was giving you the
- 42:48felony Court Davis. Actually the Misdemeanor Court
- 42:51that you're accused of paraphernalia.
- 42:52So be February the Third. It'd be February 2nd at nine
- 42:58every second at nine. Next, we have Richard Colette,
- 43:11which Mr. Flag, good morning, Mr. Glad you're here because
- 43:14you've been accused of one kind of battery on the elderly.
- 43:16Mr. Clemente there is probable cause of this charge.
- 43:18In addition to reading the complaint of absolutely true
- 43:22criminal history, you have several prior charges or
- 43:26arrests. So, Mr. Colette, I think you're
- 43:28entitled to bond as far as I can tell.
- 43:30Let me see if the attorneys have any additional information, Mr.
- 43:33McDaniel. Anything, you know, we're here
- 43:36just a second. Let me hear from Mr. Mitchell
- 43:40then I'll see what your question is, very quick.
- 43:51The complaint does make an allegation that he may have been
- 43:55under the influence of some substance.
- 43:57It doesn't say if it was alcohol or something else.
- 44:03I guess the state would be requesting.
- 44:05That he'd be subject to random uas if that's possible.
- 44:08We'll leave it up to the court where that's I can read the
- 44:12language they use. You see, I see it right there.
- 44:14It was a parent that Colette was on the influence of some
- 44:16substance to him. Staggering while walking is
- 44:18throwing his worst, they don't mention the smell of alcohol.
- 44:21Okay, Mr. Clinton, you wanted to say something?
- 44:25It was alcohol. Okay.
- 44:27So here drinking it. Okay, Mr. Clayton, anything else
- 44:34that you want to tell me sir? But you were trying to say
- 44:38something moment ago. You know, slipped my mind that
- 44:42quick. Okay, Mr. Glad I think you're
- 44:44entitled to Obama. Said to the normal felony Bond.
- 44:46It's going to be 5,000 cash or Surety cash is surely, Mr.
- 44:50Klappe Means you can go through a, bondsman you do not have to
- 44:52come up with all the money if you go through a bondsman.
- 44:55They'll negotiate with you, what they charge you.
- 44:56But normally it's around 10%, that'd be 500 dollars to get out
- 44:59of jail. Mr. Colette, you do have a
- 45:01condition, not a possessor. Consume alcohol based upon the
- 45:04allegations, so, involving alcohol, Mr. Colette, you will
- 45:08get these phone in just a few minutes.
- 45:09Sir, you post that ball and you'll be released.
- 45:11If you don't post the ball in the public finish off being
- 45:14contact with you and Mr. Colette, the jail will also give
- 45:17you a notice for your court date, which should be February
- 45:20the third at 8:30. Mr. Colette, do you have any
- 45:24questions? No.
- 45:27All right, sir, I wish you the best.
- 45:28We have Angela Martin. Yes, there is a condition.
- 45:36No contact with the bacon. Thank you.
- 45:38Corporal, Mr. Colette there's a there's administrative order
- 45:41that requires. I do the condition of contact
- 45:42unless the parks and it's okay, it's just no contact.
- 45:53Angela Martin. Miss Martin, come on up.
- 45:56Miss Martin you here for accused of one kind of aggravated
- 45:58battery, Miss Martin. There is probable cause in the
- 46:01complaint ma'am. I'm going to go ahead and set
- 46:04you up on in this case because I think you won just hope just
- 46:09resolve the misdemeanor case and, you know, not mess with the
- 46:13others. But I don't think the other
- 46:14one's going anywhere with her husband.
- 46:15He's already been calling me, but we're going to resolve the
- 46:20other. But of course, share that, I
- 46:23still need to set up a bond in this case.
- 46:24Donna, Correct. Okay yes.
- 46:27So in the news okay in the new case, any input on the bond in a
- 46:31new case Mr. McDaniel. I mean he just Didn't mean to
- 46:36interrupt your mrr right? Daniel.
- 46:37You were saying something I'm sorry just you know the bass on
- 46:40the backs of the cases I mean sure.
- 46:44I did, I did. Thank you, Mr. Mr. Mitchell as
- 46:48it pertains to the new case, we that may be the case as Mr.
- 46:53McDaniel is saying, we haven't heard from the victim yet, I'm
- 46:56sure we'll probably hear something today.
- 46:57But as for right now, we just request the court taken to
- 47:00account her history, when it comes to the batteries that
- 47:04she's been convicted to and set a reasonable Bond on to those
- 47:07circumstances. So, Mr. Martin, I know there's
- 47:10several battery charges on your history.
- 47:11I don't see dispositions on most of those, but I know this chart
- 47:16is I'm taking that into account, not not convictions necessarily
- 47:19but it's Martin almost set your bond at 10,000 dollars cash or
- 47:23Surety on the new charge condition.
- 47:24No contact the legend victim. You do have another case that
- 47:27Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Mitchell have already looted to, and
- 47:30that's one you're out on bond in 2552.
- 47:33Mm, in that case I've already pointed the public defender's
- 47:36office to represent you please listen to Mr. Mike Daniel in
- 47:39that Mr. Beaner case. You don't miss Martin, she's
- 47:42going to contest the charges 90 days in the county jail, show,
- 47:46three days. And she is going away for right
- 47:53to a jury trial and call witnesses.
- 47:54And this is a result of that case today.
- 47:58Thank you, and Mr. Mitchell's, I grew up with the state it is
- 48:01here on Earth. Miss Martin did you hear that
- 48:03agreement in the misdemeanor case?
- 48:04Yes, sir. Do you have any questions about
- 48:07that agreement? This Martin is that to you would
- 48:10like to enter to resolve that misdemeanor charge.
- 48:12Yes, sir. Miss Martin, I'm accept your
- 48:16plate of no contest. And misdemeanor, battery case
- 48:1725552, mm, withhold of adjudication of guilt.
- 48:21Excuse me, the judge of guilty. Sentenced you to 90 days in
- 48:23jail, three days, credit 722 court costs and finds that'll be
- 48:27a civil judgment. If you don't get it worked off
- 48:28at the jail and hopefully you will get it worked off.
- 48:30So that resolves, the misdemeanor case in the felony
- 48:33case the jail is going to give you a notice man, your court
- 48:36date should be February the third at 8:30 and Miss Martin.
- 48:41I don't know if I said it early but you've got a condition.
- 48:43No contact in the new case. Now, if you and the alleged
- 48:46victim, both want to have contact, certainly will consider
- 48:49that. But for right now we have to do

- 51:58an accident. When I arrived on scene, I seen
- 52:01two people pulled over the side. One individual said that.
- 52:06He was attempting to turn left to a private Drive. and that Mr
- 52:13McKay was impatient and went around him at the time he was
- 52:17turning and unfortunately the two collided So is the defend is

- 52:30Or westbound. He was traveling.
- 52:34West bouncer. Both parties are traveling.
- 52:36West, both were traveling westbound.
- 52:38So the defendant was going to. I'm sorry.
- 52:41The individual with whom Mr. McKay was involved in an
- 52:45accident with was going to turn left onto southbound hearing
- 52:49River Drive. Is that true?
- 52:51Is going to turn southbound but it was into a private drive on
- 52:54her. I got it, I got it, I got, I'm
- 52:57sorry, I misspoke really? And then Mr. McKay was driving
- 53:02westbound as well. And there was a collision in
- 53:07what the eastbound Lane of Huron River Drive.
- 53:11A firm, sir. I'm sorry.
- 53:14Yes, you have any questions for him, sir?
- 53:18Um yes, I just want to confirm that you recall arriving driving
- 53:25Eastbound and then making a three or four point turn to turn
- 53:29around. To tell us both to proceed
- 53:34forward and the chart left onto the side street there.
- 53:38He's, are you talking about after the accident?
- 53:40Correct. Yeah for would be got there.
- 53:45Yeah, I told them turned down a side street over there, correct?
- 53:49So you can investigate the accident.
- 53:52Yeah, and get them off the road right there, right?
- 53:54Okay, what other questions? On your properties for him, just
- 54:01be the fantasy video that showed there was no.
- 54:04Do you have a video? I do, where's my video of the
- 54:08accident? I have a video of directly
- 54:10afterwards that shows his Bruiser there.
- 54:12And the other vehicle there to show, that was the day that's
- 54:16happened. There was no debris on the road.
- 54:18There was no y'all Mark, says it was a very low speed Collision.
- 54:23Is the other vehicle actually turned left and hit the side of
- 54:27my car. I was already alongside his
- 54:29first one was happening. In a passing zone.
- 54:31He was stopped in the middle of the road with no turn signals
- 54:34on. I am a professional driver.
- 54:36I was in a four Focus but it's very low to the ground.
- 54:40He was at a ramp up truck. This tail lights were in my
- 54:43face. Wait a minute, slow down.
- 54:45So you're traveling west behind him.
- 54:48How far are you behind him initially before you decided to
- 54:52pass? Close.
- 54:54He was going slow. He was going dangerously slow
- 54:58for that area. What do you mean dangerously?
- 55:00Slow for that area? So if you're asking South on
- 55:03Jefferson you go around on the current River Drive, right?
- 55:07People go around that world 45 miles an hour and he was going
- 55:11maybe five times miles an hour. And people come around that
- 55:15road, I was afraid of getting rented.
- 55:17And then he proceeded to go slow slow slow slow.
- 55:21And we mean you were afraid of being being rear-ended by who
- 55:26was somebody behind you? Okay.
- 55:30But so you decided to pass. Yes, I'm passing zone.
- 55:34I decided to pass. Because there was no turn
- 55:37signals on this vehicle. I was under the impression that
- 55:40maybe he was irritated that I was there.
- 55:44So he was going so slow. So I wanted to pass and I got
- 55:48alongside him and he turned into people, but he's done my vehicle
- 55:51shows that she also turned. All right, slow down a second.
- 55:54Were there any injuries here? Oh, sir, And you're out.
- 56:01I do have something else to say whenever you guys are free,
- 56:03know, I know, but I want to ask you that question first.
- 56:06Were there any injuries? Oh, I know in here, it was their
- 56:11serious property damage to the other vehicle.
- 56:14I know, sir. And you don't want impeding
- 56:16traffic. No?
- 56:18Okay. All right.
- 56:20What do you want to add officer? Um, I'm here out of her drive
- 56:25just west of where the accident did occur.
- 56:27I went back and I investigated that area there were.
- 56:32It's a Permanent yellow line, which you're not allowed to
- 56:35pass. And I know the accidents happen
- 56:37there because the victim drivers said, hey, it happened over
- 56:40there, and there's a solid Wii over there and you can't pass.
- 56:45I said, okay, I'll go back and investigate.
- 56:47So I did go back and investigate that area and the accident did
- 56:50happen there because there was minor very minor debris on the
- 56:53road. And there were clear y'all marks
- 56:55where the individual Mr. McKay, clearly tried to go around where
- 57:01the victims that have it. So he tried to their work tire
- 57:03marks in the In the lane so he was not supposed to pass in that
- 57:07area but he still did and that was the area that the that's why
- 57:11he wrote for improper lane use. Yes, sir.
- 57:16And I'll see if you want to show me any video.
- 57:21I have no issue with that. I'll be glad to look at it.
- 57:24I'm not sure that it, if it doesn't show me where the if it
- 57:30doesn't depict the accident, well, so far, because we could
- 57:34see the, my tires because I went on the shoulder, the other
- 57:38vehicle did not gosh, I went to the shoulder after.
- 57:41Yeah, I'll be happy to look at whatever you want.
- 57:46He just want to. Get into you.
- 57:54You can handle your phone you can't see this stuff in your
- 57:58officer. So unfortunately not the problem
- 58:01is man, we'll get that up there. Would it be heard a lot?
- 58:03Just shame. Don't call Shane.
- 58:06Yeah. See if he can do that.
- 58:08He'll be like I I have a suspicion that the
- 58:30box that he was seeing or possibly working right on the
- 58:33scene, he turns around because I can see those buttons schedule
- 58:36and all so for something back out of the driveway.
- 58:42I think what he was telling me is that the debris was in the
- 58:44zone that was an old passing zone is that?
- 58:48Now what you're telling me there is that there's nothing missing
- 58:52for my vehicle. I don't know what he doesn't
- 58:53missing from this vehicle is tired.
- 58:57There's nothing mystical, zero degrees, zero breakage.
- 59:01I have video of the vehicle as well.
- 59:03DM vehicle of the area where the impact occurred.
- 59:05Yes, I do. Or I believe it occurred due to
- 59:09the marks on the pavement. So what happened when he turned
- 59:13into me? It was a Dodge, Ram pickup.
- 59:15Like I said, he turned into me and his tire.
- 59:17It the right side of the car and it not to take the toe and his
- 59:21vehicle. You can see where you pull, the
- 59:23way, you can see the where they all marks are from the toll, and
- 59:26his truck. Did he have his did?
- 59:29He was there any indication as to whether or not?
- 59:31He had his turn signals on officer Mr. McKay Mr. McKay
- 59:36said, that's what happened when I asked the victim driver, what
- 59:39happened? He says he did have his turn
- 59:41signal on and that Mr. McKay was impatient and went around him
- 59:44because he was going to slow and then the reason for them pulling
- 59:48up, hold on a second, Mr. McKay, the reason for them pulling up
- 59:51is because we're the action occurred.
- 59:53According to the victim, there's also another Lane that kind of
- 59:56comes diagonal from southbound West Jefferson.
- 1:00:00So they had to get out of that area.
- 1:00:01So they all pulled up more westbound on here on River Drive
- 1:00:05because you don't want to be kind of caught in that area and
- 1:00:07intersection area where the victim driver said the action at
- 1:00:12Which is precisely why I was trying to pass this person
- 1:00:14because it's a dangerous area. And as the officer stated the
- 1:00:19driver one second, can you get that up on the screen?
- 1:00:21So these episodes you're gonna have to zoom in on your phone
- 1:00:25and share. Yeah I'm happy that stuff.
- 1:00:27I'm very simple horsey. Or you show your phone.

- 1:20:42The address that just briefly your honor.
- 1:20:46Yes. That's are you do you want to
- 1:20:49address the bond conditions? Well, yes, I just briefly the
- 1:20:55home was owned by the one of the family members of the
- 1:20:59complainant. Mr. Bailey has received an
- 1:21:02eviction notice and what to be able to go to the home, to have
- 1:21:07to remove all of his property, So we just simply asked that
- 1:21:13he'd be able to do that. has there been a well, my
- 1:21:24understanding there's been a 30-day notice.
- 1:21:27Filed only, but my understanding is that neither the complainant
- 1:21:33nor Mr. Bailey has staying at that house right now.
- 1:21:38It is intent. It is his intent to just remove
- 1:21:42all of his belongings from the house.
- 1:21:44And be done with that. Here's what I'm going to.
- 1:21:48So, yeah, furniture or personal belongings.
- 1:21:51What is it that you have? Personal belongings.
- 1:22:00How long do you believe that it will take you to remove those
- 1:22:04items from the home sir? This will be, at least, at least
- 1:22:09a two to three hour project. I've been living in the home for
- 1:22:15about five years. So I have a lot of clothes.
- 1:22:18Um, a lot of gym shoes. And just a lot, a lot of
- 1:22:23collectibles. And okay.
- 1:22:38So what I'm going to do councils I'm going to have you go back in
- 1:22:41your breakout rooms so you can coordinate with the with the
- 1:22:44process with the prosecuting attorney and the victim Advocate
- 1:22:47to confirm that the complaining. Witness does not resign there
- 1:22:49anymore. Nor does she have any property
- 1:22:52there? Nor will she be returning their
- 1:22:54if she does have property to remove that property?
- 1:22:58All right, it is it, I'm sorry. It is expected.
- 1:23:01She does love there, and it is expected that she will stay
- 1:23:04there. Her family member owns the home,
- 1:23:08I believe this she's just staying away until Mr. Bailey
- 1:23:12leaves. Well, so they're like the issue
- 1:23:16Council because I'm not going to have your client at the house.
- 1:23:19Where the complaining Witness? Results without having.
- 1:23:27Police squirt. The police escort will not stay
- 1:23:31for two to three hours. It would be a short while
- 1:23:35probably not more than 15 minutes.
- 1:23:36So here's what. Here's what.
- 1:23:51I'm going to do starts, I'm going to make sure that my
- 1:23:54criminal and civil departments coordinate so that I'm not going
- 1:23:59to proceed with an eviction in this matter until We know what's
- 1:24:06happening with this matter, on the 29th, if they filed an
- 1:24:09action in this court, yet, it may just been a 30-day notice to
- 1:24:13quit. I don't know if there's been
- 1:24:14some of the complaint issue or not.
- 1:24:16Actually, we're gonna look that up.
- 1:24:17Can you look that up for me? Please Alan.
- 1:24:26Yes, and the civil. And obviously, okay, so far
- 1:24:34canceled, there's gonna 30-day notice to quit.
- 1:24:36There is not an action for some of the complaint file.
- 1:24:43So, I don't know, council. Do you like to speak to the
- 1:24:46owner of the home that filed the 30-day?
- 1:24:48Notice? And coordinate.
- 1:24:50What that looks like? I'm not sure at this point.
- 1:24:53This Court's not going to make any amendments to the bond
- 1:24:57condition in that regard, I don't know if Your client has a
- 1:25:03third party that would be acceptable to the complaining.
- 1:25:08Witness to box up his items. I'm not sure.
- 1:25:11But I'm not having your client there without police.
- 1:25:16Accompaniment. And they will not be there for
- 1:25:19two to three hours, that can't happen.
- 1:25:23Okay. Yeah.
- 1:25:23We'll think of something that won't rally the Court's order.
- 1:25:36And I'm also going to indicate that I expect that there will be
- 1:25:40any destruction of Mr. Bailey's property as well.
- 1:25:45So much for that, you're honor. Okay.
- 1:26:01Bonnie conditions are continuing to see back and see we go.
- 1:26:04Thank you. All right.
- 1:26:07Let's swing back to judgment Nalley's court.

- 1:28:33If you, if you're if that's okay with absolutely It's very clear
- 1:28:38on the video, how far the old windows go, it's very clear
- 1:28:41where I was stopped on the shoulder here.
- 1:28:42Just wait, let me, let me look at what he shows me first.
- 1:28:45Okay, of course, John my concern here is even if you were in a
- 1:28:51passing, I got testimony here that the guy had his turn signal
- 1:28:56and he professional driver, I had driven 500,000 only
- 1:29:01profession, we need a professional Drive.
- 1:29:04You have a CDL. Transportation comment.
- 1:29:09I, And testifying right now that the man's lights in my face and
- 1:29:16there was not a turn signal on, I would not have as a
- 1:29:19professional driver. I would have passed this person.
- 1:29:21Had there been trying to signals on Yahoo stated himself, but the
- 1:29:25person fell that I really patience and passed him that
- 1:29:28proves that he know, I was back there and I believe he'll other
- 1:29:33person. He denied this that he did it.
- 1:29:35Intentionally fact, he was going got any accident intentionally,
- 1:29:39they get my Heart Festival. He was going dangerously, slow.
- 1:29:42First of all, this was an elderly elderly person.
- 1:29:45He was looking for a home that he must be more familiar with.
- 1:29:49Because as we told the officer he was going to somebody's
- 1:29:52Workshop. There was an address of these
- 1:29:55entertainment that must be white.
- 1:29:56He was going so slow. So I was behind him.
- 1:29:59When it got to the point where I could get around him.
- 1:30:01I did it over to that person that I was doing that and he
- 1:30:05well you don't think he eventually slammed into the side
- 1:30:08of your vehicle. Do you really?
- 1:30:10I have a suspicion that is part of a manager officer sent
- 1:30:15himself that. He thought to that.
- 1:30:19The other person thought? Okay, you're gonna lose me on
- 1:30:23that. Okay, go ahead.
- 1:30:24Don't show me what you want to show me officer.
- 1:30:28Yes, sir. I'm gonna go ahead and just try
- 1:30:31to turn the video around. Do you know in the court by and
- 1:30:34the app settings? If that's possible?
- 1:30:35If not, I'll do my best to go ahead and turn around so I can
- 1:30:37go ahead and explain it to you on the monitor.
- 1:30:39I have a front of me. You know, technology questions
- 1:30:44and you expect me to know the answer on.
- 1:30:46You should know better. My apologies are.
- 1:30:48I'll do my best right here. Let me know.
- 1:30:50Thank you for your honor. Yeah, I can see it.
- 1:30:53All right, you're honors. So this is West Jefferson write.
- 1:30:59Yes. Okay.
- 1:30:59Go ahead. All right.
- 1:31:02So as you can see, there's another Lane like Mr. McKay and
- 1:31:05I said that comes in through here.
- 1:31:07Okay? So if that just click like this
- 1:31:09and I go to the street view, Here's that, here's that, that
- 1:31:15lane that comes through here southbound.
- 1:31:18Now, you see this double yellow? Yeah, this is where in this area
- 1:31:23for me that all into this bridge, that the victim driver
- 1:31:27said, the accident happened in, And as Mr. McKay and I
- 1:31:31previously stated they both had to get out of this area so that
- 1:31:35way they won't get hit. You know, they can't just stay
- 1:31:37right here. So if you go this yellow line
- 1:31:40you can see it. Goes down, quite a ways.
- 1:31:42I'm zooming in zooming in zooming in Again again and so we
- 1:31:47almost hit a street down here called lug wake.
- 1:31:49How much slow down. How long would you say?
- 1:31:54Now, it's hard for me to tell that that double yellow line
- 1:31:58exists. There on that roadway.
- 1:31:59Can you give me an estimate? Oh, as far as yardage your
- 1:32:04honor. So you're saying it happened
- 1:32:06west of there. It happened.
- 1:32:08Well, the tire tracks on my video show exactly where it
- 1:32:13happened in exactly where my vehicle stopped on the shoulder
- 1:32:16and youth with no work here that area.
- 1:32:19It was where were they? When you when you told them to
- 1:32:22move their vehicles, when you arrived on scene, where were
- 1:32:24they? They were in this area between.
- 1:32:31Just passed this. They were in this area.
- 1:32:35Right here. To this area over here.
- 1:32:39I would say it's about a good problem.
- 1:32:43Mmm. 70 yards, your honor 670 yards.
- 1:32:48From the end of the yellow line. Yeah. no, so from the line over
- 1:32:54here which is the double yellow, the ending of it, To where I
- 1:32:59found them, which is over here. Over.
- 1:33:05They pulled up their in this area, okay.
- 1:33:08All right. And they said the individual
- 1:33:10said the accident happened like in this area, right after the,
- 1:33:15Where that southbound lane like Mr. McKay and I said and that I
- 1:33:19found there's a private Drive. I don't drive it was, but there
- 1:33:27were yaw marks that were like Not three point.
- 1:33:31Y'all marks they were, y'all marks that go like this around,
- 1:33:34which clearly show, You know that someone was trying to go
- 1:33:38around not so important out. And then going forward, Did you
- 1:33:42saw debris in that area? Is that where you saw the
- 1:33:44debris? Yeah, there was minor debris.
- 1:33:47Your honor and my apologies I didn't get down and look at
- 1:33:51like, what kind of debris it was and trying to verify which you
- 1:33:55know, could have been from another vehicle of course.
- 1:33:56But from where the victim vehicle said this happened, I'm
- 1:34:00certain it was Mr. McKay's vehicle.
- 1:34:02And it was definitely within the double yellow.
- 1:34:04And it was clearly double yellow in the area that the accident,
- 1:34:08the victim said occurred. All right, what do you want to
- 1:34:11say? I want to say I want to be able
- 1:34:15to show you for my friend. I think you were this accident?
- 1:34:20Well I where are you going to show it?

- 1:36:13Good morning. Honor, J.
- 1:36:14Grant Miller p. 58658 on behalf, Mr. Dempsey, who approaches?
- 1:36:22Your honor, I actually been talking with my client and going
- 1:36:25through all the discovery I believe we have everything.
- 1:36:27So if we instead of in a German, if we could just set for an exam
- 1:36:31four weeks out, I think that would be four weeks.
- 1:36:34Why? We need to go through all of the
- 1:36:37videos you're still. I just got a couple of the
- 1:36:40videos for the Advocacy, why would I set it for exam?
- 1:36:45When looking at the videos, may change your whole approach to
- 1:36:48the case? I believe we have to hold the
- 1:36:51exam on her now that I have all the videos.
- 1:36:54This is not going to be a way. Okay.
- 1:36:58Then why can't it be done in 12 days?
- 1:37:04There's some difficulties in meeting with my client to review
- 1:37:08the videos because of some of the constrictions placed on his
- 1:37:11bond conditions, stronger. And even when we discussed
- 1:37:16previously, when I was What is the Restriction?
- 1:37:22What is the boundary restriction?
- 1:37:23That's causing the Detroit. Previously I had asked about
- 1:37:27meeting at the youth on public library, but when I went there
- 1:37:29ahead of time, I noticed the bunch of children their present
- 1:37:32as well. So we're just meeting at a

- 1:51:22Mr. Tillis. Good morning, Mrs. How are you?
- 1:51:25Good morning, I'm fine. Good tell us.
- 1:51:30In your own words. What did you do?
- 1:51:32And what caused you to be? Where you are today?
- 1:51:36First, I would like to apologize to the family for the pain that
- 1:51:39I met calls today, on top of the pain that I have caused because
- 1:51:42I made the decision to shoot Miss Caraway.
- 1:51:45Seriously harming her for that. I'm truly sorry.
- 1:51:48I was a 22 year. Old woman staying with my cousin
- 1:51:52sleeping on her couch, working at Microtel because I was on
- 1:51:56probation. On November. 8th on November
- 1:52:0418th, I received a phone call a forming me that I had lost my
- 1:52:08job. And November 19th.
- 1:52:11I took a cab to the job. With intention of asking Ms,
- 1:52:16Caraway for my job. And appoint, me asking her okay.
- 1:52:22I became so overwhelmed with emotions of fear and anger, and
- 1:52:26Desperation. I shot Ms. Caraway. and after, I
- 1:52:43forgot the scene out of shock and fear but immediately I was
- 1:52:48so remorseful and regret I contacted the police confessing
- 1:52:52to the crime of shooting, Miss Caraway.
- 1:53:00Okay. Warden.
- 1:53:06Do you have any comments about her?
- 1:53:08Yes. Miss Dana is one of our minimum
- 1:53:11security image. She actually works at the
- 1:53:14headquarters, doc headquarters office, and she's been working
- 1:53:17since actually lciw took over working at headquarters.
- 1:53:22So she's been a long term. It may work up there which is a
- 1:53:26trusted position. She always we always get glowing
- 1:53:30remarks. From all of the individuals that
- 1:53:33work at headquarters that she works with.
- 1:53:35Along with that job mistana actually is a mentor in our
- 1:53:42reentry Court dorm. So she mentors those individuals
- 1:53:46who were sentenced to reentry court and facilitates different
- 1:53:50groups even their in our cell block or in the reentry
- 1:53:53dormitory or housing unit, I think probably one of the
- 1:53:57biggest accomplishments Miss Dana had received was yesterday.
- 1:54:01She actually graduated with her bachelor's degree and Seminary.
- 1:54:06So no, doctor Sharky will probably talk about That but
- 1:54:08don't want to speak for today, but I think that was an exciting
- 1:54:11day for her yesterday but you know, we don't have any trouble
- 1:54:15with Dana. She really helps out where we
- 1:54:18need her to and she stays quite busy with her job her studies
- 1:54:23and mentoring inmates here at lciw.
- 1:54:27Thank you so much. Thank you.
- 1:54:29I guess. Now we're here from Louisiana
- 1:54:33parole project. Mr. Martin yes, good morning
- 1:54:37Carrie Myers with Louisiana parole project.
- 1:54:39We're here to let the board. Know we've accepted Dana Francis
- 1:54:43as a client in our program. Our plan for Dana is to provide
- 1:54:49long-term transitional housing. Assist her with employment
- 1:54:54opportunities, ensure that she receives all the necessary
- 1:55:01evaluations of mental health substance abuse and abide.
- 1:55:07By those plans. Any recommendations that, our
- 1:55:11social workers may have or Dana is completely remorseful for her
- 1:55:20actions. She didn't make no excuses for
- 1:55:25for her actions. The difference is the now,
- 1:55:29almost 45 year old. Dana has now learned the skills
- 1:55:34in has the skills through the work that she's done there to
- 1:55:39cope to cope with the things that life has thrown at her
- 1:55:44before. And, and in the future, Dana has
- 1:55:49a good time date, release, date and early 2028.
- 1:55:53This is an opportunity at her age with the skills, and the she
- 1:56:00has learned both vocational and social skills.
- 1:56:03She's learned while incarcerated, this is a
- 1:56:06excellent time. The Dana is not only employable,
- 1:56:10she shows her willingness, besides the fact that she's
- 1:56:17going to school, she works at headquarters, she gives back
- 1:56:19entity as a reentry Court, Mentor.
- 1:56:23Something that is. Totally voluntary on her part
- 1:56:26because she wants to give back. She's very trusted.
- 1:56:30We would just ask this board to consider the fact that the work
- 1:56:35that she's done degree in nlbs. Excuse me.
- 1:56:38And obts also attended, Ashland University also has vocational
- 1:56:44certifications. All, so does community service,
- 1:56:48Dana is not the 22 year old socially ill-equipped person who
- 1:56:55made a decision to fire that gun, that day.
- 1:56:58Dana can never take that back. But Dana has done the hard work
- 1:57:02and we will support Dana on a long term basis.
- 1:57:05So it says board to consider that today.
- 1:57:09Thank you so much, Mrs. Shortly. And the director Kathleen he
- 1:57:25services for the Department of Corrections as well as serve as
- 1:57:28the Director of the New Orleans, Baptist Theological Seminary
- 1:57:32Extension Center at lciw, and I have them being a princess since
- 1:57:372010. Over the past 15 years.
- 1:57:40I have witnessed a remarkable transformation in her life.
- 1:57:45Since Dana has been incarcerated.
- 1:57:46She has shown consistent dedication to her personal
- 1:57:50growth and faith and service. She did complete her bachelor's
- 1:57:54degree, and she actually completed the requirements for
- 1:57:59that degree in 2024, but we just had our commencement Services
- 1:58:04yesterday, and it was a great time to celebrate with those
- 1:58:08women have accomplished. Dana has served as a peer
- 1:58:12ministering other women and providing leadership and
- 1:58:16encouragement across the whole facility.
- 1:58:19She oversees our faith-based recovery programs.
- 1:58:22That's Celebrate Recovery inside and life's healing choices.
- 1:58:26She helps women work through their trauma and their
- 1:58:29addiction. And she also teaches our
- 1:58:31presenting your class on SMS. Chief of facilitates a helpful
- 1:58:37program called courage from my life.
- 1:58:40And she leads the big face classes in our lockdown units
- 1:58:44and also makes regular Browns in the infirmary and assisted
- 1:58:48living area from the ministry offers comfort and support to
- 1:58:52the women who are sick, aging and isolated.
- 1:58:56Dana also serves on the Department of Corrections
- 1:59:00faith-based advisory Council. This is just one, she's just one
- 1:59:05of 16 inmates throughout the whole state, male and female
- 1:59:09that would chosen to serve on this board.
- 1:59:13Dana does have some CTE vocational skills that were
- 1:59:19alluded to, but one of them in culinary arts, she likes to use
- 1:59:23in Ministry to help encourage people.
- 1:59:26So, what she does is she will make little snacks and things
- 1:59:30like that to build community in the dorm, among the other
- 1:59:34inmates. And she often volunteers to work
- 1:59:37in the kitchen when there's a special event even though that's
- 1:59:40not her job classification. So over the years, I have seen
- 1:59:45game to take full responsibility for her past.
- 1:59:49I've spoken to her link about that and she makes no excuses.
- 1:59:53She is dedicated to continuing to grow in her face.
- 1:59:57And in leadership, she is compassionate and humble, and
- 2:00:01consistently demonstrates integrity and accountability her
- 2:00:05life. Truly is a testimony to the
- 2:00:07power of God. What it means to walk within

- 2:00:37Correctional is to, at the time, I was a leader within the
- 2:00:41community but I've met a leader within That taught me how to be?
- 2:00:48Even a better leader. When I met day in the data, was

- 2:01:24opportunity to date. I'm example, I strive because of
- 2:01:28women, like Dana, I had opportunity to be her colleague
- 2:01:32as, in disciplinary in that process.
- 2:01:35I, when I was released, I continue to progress and
- 2:01:40maintain contact with so many strong women like Dana so that I
- 2:01:43could continue to progress. Dana opportunity. the
- 2:01:51opportunities out there for her are just in her own.
- 2:01:56I may not be able to offer a job to gain it a day but I would
- 2:02:00offer her and either want her to live next to me.
- 2:02:04I would be willing to open my home today in a mentor to me.
- 2:02:09Even though she does not have children, she mentors to me to
- 2:02:12mentor to my home, son. She headed towards me when I go
- 2:02:17into depression, she mentor to me and so many people that are
- 2:02:20in this room because she learned who she is and the power that
- 2:02:25she is. If she only tapped into data's
- 2:02:28relationship with God, his long way.
- 2:02:33As required. We had a chance to promise, he
- 2:02:39didn't know what Comedy Works and I'm on the opportunity with
- 2:02:42so many ladies to operate continuously in harmony with
- 2:02:45Dana to help see her reach her food potentially.
- 2:02:48Although I think there's more that I can learn from her but as
- 2:02:51well as to be in indelible truth that women that leads from
- 2:02:57saying and no matter what they've gone through that, they
- 2:03:00can be successful and that they have a gigantic rules of people
- 2:03:04willing to their embrace them, and just to see them remaining
- 2:03:07lullaby citizens state of Louisiana, where Thank you.
- 2:03:12Thank you. I guess life will hear from her
- 2:03:17attorney. I want to begin by
- 2:03:32acknowledging. The serious harm.
- 2:03:35In this case, Miss Caraway was an innocent woman.
- 2:03:40A kind woman. Who gave data a chance and was
- 2:03:45Gravely injured. Nothing Dana has done or could
- 2:03:52ever do? Will change that.
- 2:03:55Data carries deep, remorse and regret for the pain.
- 2:04:00She caused the care. We family, and she lives with
- 2:04:04the weight of that responsibility every day.
- 2:04:08Today, however, this question before this board is not whether
- 2:04:13harm occurred. It did.
- 2:04:16The question is whether Dana has taken responsibility.
- 2:04:21Genuinely rehabilitated herself and whether the woman she is,
- 2:04:26now, poses a risk to Public Safety.
- 2:04:30Based on her, remarkable record, over the last 22 years, we
- 2:04:35submit to you. She has done the work, she has
- 2:04:39sustained it over decades and she is ready for successful
- 2:04:45release. About to offered the following
- 2:04:50context, not to excuse her athletes.
- 2:04:53But to explain the circumstances that shaped a single devastating
- 2:04:59decision that stands in stark contrast to the rest of her
- 2:05:04life. Data was 22 years old in the
- 2:05:07time, in this events. She entered adulthood without
- 2:05:10stability safety or support. Her childhood was marked by
- 2:05:16severe domestic violence addiction and abandonment.
- 2:05:22She recalls coming back from school into the abandoned home
- 2:05:26where her mother was living unable to recognize her mother.
- 2:05:31Due to the broken bones. Metal plates in her body's in
- 2:05:36her body and Staples in her head, as a result of being
- 2:05:39beaten. While battling a decade long
- 2:05:43addiction. Her father was entirely absent
- 2:05:48due to alcoholism and in reviewing the child transfer, he
- 2:05:53was quoted as saying I didn't want anything to do it.
- 2:05:58She grew up in an area in an environment where violence
- 2:06:04addiction and instability. Were constant.
- 2:06:10Despite that. Data worked hard to avoid,
- 2:06:15becoming a product of her environment.
- 2:06:16She worked multiple jobs to put yourself in school.
- 2:06:20She attended church and she stayed away from the street life
- 2:06:24around her. But she was living on fragile,
- 2:06:28flooding. A prior Court decision.
- 2:06:31Forging a check in a moment of desperation left her with a
- 2:06:35conviction, probation fees to fit these to pay and no margin
- 2:06:41for error. At the same time, she
- 2:06:45experienced a series of profound personal losses from Grandmother
- 2:06:49the only person who raised her and she felt loved her rejected
- 2:06:54her because of her sexuality. Data had also just ended the
- 2:06:58only long-term relationship she had ever known.
- 2:07:03She had unstable housing, no transportation and was
- 2:07:08struggling in isolation. The job she held at Microtel was
- 2:07:13not just employment. It was her lifeline when Dana
- 2:07:19receives a call that she had been fired.
- 2:07:21She didn't just hear that. She had lost a job.
- 2:07:27Experienced that as the end to the only remaining support in
- 2:07:32her life. That moment, triggered, a
- 2:07:36lifetime of Abandonment, rejection and unaddressed.
- 2:07:40Trauma, it was in that emotional collapse.
- 2:07:44She made the only violent decision in her life One that
- 2:07:50has one that had grave consequences that she is deeply.
- 2:07:55Sorry. what I am here to highlight is, what Dana did next
- 2:08:00and what she has done every day since Dana almost immediately
- 2:08:05turned herself in accepted responsibility, should invest
- 2:08:10her friends. I'm like guilty, she didn't
- 2:08:13minimize her conduct. She never shifted blame, and
- 2:08:16over the last 22 years, she has done it.
- 2:08:18Exactly what the system is designed to encourage.
- 2:08:22We rehabilitate accountability, service and transformation Her
- 2:08:29record speaks to who she is today.
- 2:08:33Driven by her remorse and her self Insight.
- 2:08:36She has deeply engaged in therapeutic, programming
- 2:08:40completing every class and opportunity that has been
- 2:08:44available to her. Including multiple rounds of
- 2:08:47Anger Management Stress Management depression and Trauma
- 2:08:52healing. She understands the root causes
- 2:08:55of her behavior, particularly her rejection, trauma and her
- 2:08:59emotional regulation skills, and has demonstrated sustained,
- 2:09:03emotional stability, for years. Data has relentlessly pursued
- 2:09:10education. She's completed multiple
- 2:09:12Advanced degree programs, including as you heard most
- 2:09:17recent one. She graduated from yesterday.
- 2:09:20One only need to go glanced at her record to see ordinary
- 2:09:25amount of work she has done to break the general generational
- 2:09:29cycle, for example. Department of Corrections has
- 2:09:34repeatedly entrusted. Dana with leadership fuels.
- 2:09:36She's been selected to facilitate celebrate recovery
- 2:09:39and life's healing choices. Supporting other women in
- 2:09:43marriages. Most notably she is the only
- 2:09:48offender selected and certified to teach the moral compass
- 2:09:53class. She mentors the mentors.
- 2:09:58She teaches them skills. Like decision-making, conflict,
- 2:10:02resolution and ethics. This reflects, the level of
- 2:10:07trust, placed in game. She improves every environment,
- 2:10:11she's in, she contributes. Safety and Rehabilitation in her
- 2:10:18mentorship in her modeling of accountability in her
- 2:10:22reinforcing the values that this system seeks to instill.
- 2:10:27For the past several years, she's worked here and
- 2:10:30headquarters and the Adult Services Department staff.
- 2:10:33Consistently described her as honest sincere and exceptionally
- 2:10:37hard-working one staff. Member told me, I would have no
- 2:10:42issue at all her living. Next story, That is Public
- 2:10:47Safety. I have been truly moved by the
- 2:10:51overwhelming support for her almost staff and administrators
- 2:10:54like on the movies. Dana will receive long-term
- 2:11:00comprehensive support, reentry support through Louisiana parole
- 2:11:05project. She will be released into
- 2:11:07structure. Supervision continuity of care.
- 2:11:13Stability and a huge Support Network.
- 2:11:18She has built meaningful pro-social relationships with
- 2:11:22their prison Community here at the Department of Corrections,
- 2:11:26and how with her family. Her mother was with her today is
- 2:11:30now in recovery and facing her second battle with long pants.
- 2:11:37If parole is denied today. Dana will not be reheard for
- 2:11:41another five years. Time.
- 2:11:44She may not have with her own mother.
- 2:11:48Granting parole in this case aligns with the goals of this
- 2:11:52board. Dana is exactly the person who
- 2:11:56is designed for someone to transformed herself.
- 2:12:02Was this old risk and it is ready for reintegration.
- 2:12:08To continue the service and the transformation.
- 2:12:12From inside to here. She is not the same person, she
- 2:12:16was at 22. She is a discipline self-aware.
- 2:12:20Intelligent hard-working woman who has done everything in her
- 2:12:24power to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.
- 2:12:31These reasons. Respectfully request.
- 2:12:36Granting parole in this case, it's not really but consistent,
- 2:12:41but the goals of the system interests of Public Safety.
- 2:12:45And so we asked, please Grant the opportunity to continue to
- 2:12:49serve the remainder of percentage of supervision.
- 2:12:53Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
- 2:13:01We have some. People are in opposition. and is
- 2:13:13the challenge. You know, we'll just see
- 2:13:18clearly. Okay?
- 2:13:19Oh, Mr. Hester. Yes sir.
- 2:13:26He go ahead and tell us what you would like to tell us.
- 2:13:29Please I'm gonna let my wife go first, if that's okay.
- 2:13:34Yeah, I just want to clarify, I'm not Cindy.
- 2:13:37Caraway's daughter, I'm her daughter-in-law Her daughter was
- 2:13:40trying to get on here but was unsuccessful and being able to
- 2:13:43be let in. She didn't want to speak, but
- 2:13:46she did want to be present and noted that she is also in
- 2:13:49opposition. I want to start off by showing
- 2:13:55you. Because she can't be here today.
- 2:14:03Because then be careway passed away.
- 2:14:07In 2020 due to the mental illness, that she is suffered
- 2:14:12from this. Yeah, hanging yes, act this,
- 2:14:18this decision that Dana decided to do from that day forward.
- 2:14:24While we say it's attempted murder actually.
- 2:14:26On that day she did Kill Cindy Caraway. and this is who Cindy
- 2:14:33Caraway is or was and I want you to see her face, and to remember
- 2:14:40that, Because my children never got to know what their
- 2:14:45grandmother prior to this in an incident.
- 2:14:49She was never the same from that day forward.
- 2:14:53She didn't smile like she used to, she would spend a day and
- 2:15:00Awake. Because she couldn't fall
- 2:15:02asleep. Because when she fell asleep,
- 2:15:04nightmares came. She was distant.
- 2:15:10She was not, she was a shell of the person that she used to be.
- 2:15:15My kids, my sister lost kids, never got to really know who she
- 2:15:19was and she battled mental health until our very last
- 2:15:23breath when she took her life because she couldn't do it
- 2:15:26anymore. We sit here, I'm listening to
- 2:15:34Everyone's say about how Dana has taken accountability.
- 2:15:38I didn't I heard her say she's sorry today.
- 2:15:44That's all I heard. I heard her talking about
- 2:15:49herself, just like, she's always done.
- 2:15:51She was so selfish. On that day, she was thinking
- 2:15:56about herself and she downplayed it when she talked.
- 2:16:02And she said that she was fired according to Miss Cindy.
- 2:16:06She wasn't fired. She asked Dana to come in and
- 2:16:09have a talk with her. and, Let's just say she was fired.
- 2:16:15You bring a gun with you. To talk about being fired.
- 2:16:22Who does that? That's not somebody that went
- 2:16:26there with the intention of talking that somebody who went
- 2:16:29there with the intention of an action.
- 2:16:34Her intention was to shoot her. You don't bring a gun to have a
- 2:16:39talk. And while I hear everybody talk
- 2:16:43about how how she's found God, I am so happy that she has because
- 2:16:48she needed God and I am so happy for that.
- 2:16:52That does not excuse what she did on that day and the
- 2:16:57punishment that she should have to have for that crime.
- 2:17:02God doesn't say, just because you found me does means that You
- 2:17:08don't you don't have a punishment when I punish my kid.
- 2:17:11I don't let them off early because they've made some good
- 2:17:14choices and then we can talk about that as well.
- 2:17:18We can talk about how they said for 22 years.
- 2:17:21She's been this amazing role model.
- 2:17:23Well, records that I ever received. 38 pages of it.
- 2:17:30Say differently and we could talk about those and 2009.
- 2:17:34She was in trouble for self-mutilation, 2012 fighting
- 2:17:392012 a loud argument dispute, 2014 Defiance 2012 and 2014.
- 2:17:48Contraband the 2012, aggravated Disobedience, and 2006 to 2009,
- 2:17:56and 2015. Property destruction in 2012.
- 2:18:02Threatening behavior in 2013. She was in an unauthorized area
- 2:18:07twice in 2006. She had disobedience in 2007
- 2:18:12twice in 2009, and 2012 and then my personal favorite aggravated
- 2:18:19sexual offense in 2018. That does not sound like a role
- 2:18:25model, the entire 22 years that she's been in prison.
- 2:18:29That sounds like somebody that was still actively.
- 2:18:34Not making good choices. And where, you know?
- 2:18:43We're supposed to trust that she goes into parole.
- 2:18:45What if she gets in trouble again?
- 2:18:49What happened? The last time?
- 2:18:50She thought she was fired when she was on probation or parole.
- 2:18:54What did she chose to do? She chose to get a gun.
- 2:19:01Call like a cab. Have the cab bring her to
- 2:19:05Microtel Inn. Get out of that cab.
- 2:19:08With a god asked the cab driver to wait for her.
- 2:19:13Walk into Microtel. Confront Miss Cindy and other
- 2:19:18employees in the washing area where they wash the towels and
- 2:19:23stuff. Pull out the gun and point it at
- 2:19:27her head. Miss Cindy terrified walks out
- 2:19:33the door and takes off running down the hall and Dana schutz.
- 2:19:37Her Takes the gun. Puts it back in, whatever.
- 2:19:41She had it in walks to the cab. Tells him to bring her back to
- 2:19:46her home, where she gets out, brings that gun and hides it
- 2:19:51underneath the mattress of a baby carriage, or something to
- 2:19:55that nature. She didn't turn herself in, they
- 2:19:58found her but because she stiffed, the cab driver, and he
- 2:20:02called and reported it. What of that?
- 2:20:10Is fair. What of that?
- 2:20:14Like what happens if she gets in trouble this time?
- 2:20:21I want to believe that God has made a big change in her and I
- 2:20:25hope to, I hope that he did. but that doesn't take away what she
- 2:20:29did and the fact that she should serve every single minute of her
- 2:20:36sentence because the truth is Miss Cindy served a life
- 2:20:42sentence with no possibility of parole.
- 2:20:47Her family has served a life sentence.
- 2:20:50We have to go each day without her here because of what Dana
- 2:20:55chose to do on that day. Over a stupid job.
- 2:21:07And David didn't apologize to all the other people.
- 2:21:10It affected, of course, it affected Miss Cindy and her
- 2:21:13family. But what about the people that
- 2:21:15the other co-workers that stood there and watched her shoot?
- 2:21:19Someone what about the people that were at that hotel that
- 2:21:22heard gunshots and were probably terrified for their lives.
- 2:21:25Not knowing what was going on. And all Dana was worried about
- 2:21:32was herself and when I hear her sit here and ask for parole and
- 2:21:36all the things that she's done to make herself better, all I
- 2:21:40hear is selfishness. It's still about her.
- 2:21:45If she was truly sorry, she wouldn't put us through this
- 2:21:49again. She would take her punishment.
- 2:21:55And that would be it if you're sorry.
- 2:21:58That's how you show your sorry. Thank you.
- 2:22:08Thank you. so, Look, I'm all for turning your life around, you
- 2:22:16know, and doing what you're supposed to do.
- 2:22:18But we're all we're all have problems in life.
- 2:22:22We deal with bringing a gun to shoot someone because you
- 2:22:25thought you were good fired. You have to go back to jail.
- 2:22:27It's not good. You.
- 2:22:32The debt day she got start. When she found give me Martin
- 2:22:36know she committed murder. It was a Slow Burn.
- 2:22:40For 20 something years. I've had to watch my mom who was
- 2:22:44the most loving, we get everybody's second chance to be
- 2:22:48the greatest. Give you sure off their back,
- 2:22:49deteriorating in front of my eyes.
- 2:22:53We go back and watch home movies and you can see the dressing
- 2:22:56different from the day. She was before she was shot and
- 2:23:01life is never been the same. We talked many nights about
- 2:23:04nightmares. She said she would just have
- 2:23:07nightmares about Dana. Putting a gun to her head.
- 2:23:11And putting the gun to my mom's face that day and tell her.
- 2:23:15She's gonna shoot in my mom runs away, and you cowardly, shoot
- 2:23:18her in the back. Full intent to kill her because
- 2:23:21nobody If it didn't premeditated, nobody has the cab
- 2:23:25weight, nobody brings a gun, nobody hides the gun
- 2:23:28undercarriage. When they arrested Danish, she
- 2:23:30was smiling the whole time just like, oh great.
- 2:23:34We go to court. The day for sentencing, she just
- 2:23:37tells us basically it's done. Let me live my life. well,
- 2:23:42literally, she know the domino effect she created and they said
- 2:23:46here, it's like there's just praising how great she is.
- 2:23:49Like, she did not murder somebody with the like she
- 2:23:52emerged. Somebody my mom, I'm happy your
- 2:23:55mom's there and I'm sorry, she's doing well, not well with her
- 2:23:58health and stuff, but I'm on here because you decided you
- 2:24:03were gonna take her life overall minimum wage job.
- 2:24:11To this day I still see your face in that smile when they
- 2:24:14arresting you Mr. Hester, would you address your remarks to the
- 2:24:18board? Yes, I still see her smile in
- 2:24:21her face that day. They arrested her.
- 2:24:25The day we're sitting in court and we're having.
- 2:24:27She's my mom sitting there and just you can tell she was so
- 2:24:31nervous. She threw up constantly that day
- 2:24:33because she her biggest fear was she's gonna have to see the
- 2:24:36person to take the tempted to take her life.
- 2:24:38Or I'm sorry, took her life that day.
- 2:24:41And had that all gases to turn and tell the people.
- 2:24:45Basically get over it. Let me live my life.
- 2:24:49I'm All turning your life around rehabilitating, but we come from
- 2:24:53a world where if you do your crime you should do your time
- 2:24:57after the 30 years. so be But I have to tell my kids every day.
- 2:25:05When we watch videos and stuff, well, I'm Gonna Change.
- 2:25:08Well, I was like this now I said, because someone decided
- 2:25:12they were going to play judge and executioner and decided to
- 2:25:15take her life. You know, I can't tell people
- 2:25:20that my mom took her own life because that's not her, they're
- 2:25:24not knowledge, but I just had to tell people.
- 2:25:25Oh she was sick. But she was mentally sick
- 2:25:27because somebody decided they were going to take her life or a
- 2:25:32minimum wage job. Like I I'm not trying to be Out
- 2:25:39a place. I apologize for my tone but this
- 2:25:41is this is heartbreaking. We were going to do this a
- 2:25:44couple years ago right after she died.
- 2:25:46And we're trying to figure things out but she got in
- 2:25:48trouble so she could get paroled.
- 2:25:50So the praise her and preacher. Oh, she's been a model citizen,
- 2:25:53man. We have a list.

- 2:25:58And who's to say she gets done and she doesn't come retaliate
- 2:26:01it. Somebody else over a job.

- 2:27:54because it was high crime and high violence.
- 2:27:56I kept it for protection because I stayed with me, I stayed with
- 2:28:00my cousin and we were the only female and I would have to keep
- 2:28:04I would have the catch the bus early in the morning and it will
- 2:28:07be dark. Okay, so you found it, you
- 2:28:10didn't buy it or get it. No, sorry my friend.
- 2:28:14Anything no. All right, I have no further
- 2:28:21questions. Um, I was gonna ask the same
- 2:28:26question. There's I think there was
- 2:28:28something in the record that said you actually went and
- 2:28:31sought out the gun. And those no man.
- 2:28:36So I do want to well, congratulations on your your
- 2:28:41graduation and your educational achievement.
- 2:28:44I wanted to ask you a couple of things.
- 2:28:47We heard the Hester's Ms, caraway's family talk about Your
- 2:28:53conduct right after. Yes, ma'am.
- 2:28:55Yes, you know what? I have to agree with.
- 2:28:58Some of it is concerning, but it seems like things changed in
- 2:29:032016 started to change rather. And that's when you seemed to be
- 2:29:08more focused, what was it? That clicked in you.
- 2:29:14The one that's on death recorded, at least.
- 2:29:16That's when things started to change.
- 2:29:18They thought it started to change because I had to change.
- 2:29:21And it's true. God did change me.
- 2:29:23And it was right before. My mom had really got diagnosed
- 2:29:28and I'm knew that I had to change and The things that I had
- 2:29:34done. That wasn't me.
- 2:29:40You mean the things with things he's find that the reports like
- 2:29:45the unauthorized area, the the Defiance, and the aggravated
- 2:29:51disobedience. Because I was raised that I am a
- 2:29:55person of respect. I'm a person of integrity.
- 2:30:02So, I do notice she took a couple of victims, programs,
- 2:30:06what did you get out of that? Well, that's a Victims Impact.
- 2:30:09I learned that. I'm not only, I learned how I
- 2:30:13really affected the family mentally, physically and
- 2:30:16psychologically. I learned that affected my
- 2:30:18family but even more. So those that were around me
- 2:30:23That wasn't directly affected, but they were still affected by
- 2:30:26my poor choice. So, I'm just trying to trying to
- 2:30:35get in my head is to, you know, why?
- 2:30:38Why did you Pull the gun out on Miss Caraway.
- 2:30:43Just Cynthia. What was that her hand?
- 2:30:48And how that? During that time of my life, I
- 2:30:52had suffered so much rejection. And it was mainly due to my
- 2:30:57mother's drug addiction for 31 years.
- 2:30:59My father's alcohol problem. And I had just felt like so much
- 2:31:04have been taken from me and I went that day.
- 2:31:09With the, with the intentions of begging for my job and I just
- 2:31:13became so overwhelmed with anger and just feeling like the only
- 2:31:18person who was really giving me a chance was now rejecting me.
- 2:31:22and it was like, I lost my mind, like, like I was on my body,
- 2:31:26like, I committed a crime that I would have never done if I was
- 2:31:30in my right mind. I'm not.
- 2:31:31I wasn't a violent person, and I'm not a violent person now.
- 2:31:34So coming to prison. I was determined not.
- 2:31:40To be the person who fell prey to violence through rejection,
- 2:31:44where I worked on myself. Watching anger management
- 2:31:46multiple times. I learned how to deal with
- 2:31:49conflicts and I learned how to find positive resolution.
- 2:31:52I developed a coping skills where difficulties and
- 2:31:55challenges, they don't govern my emotions, they don't government
- 2:31:58my life. And then I've developed a
- 2:32:01support network leaders and mentors who've encouraged me and
- 2:32:05motivated me, to be honest to be to live in Integrity.
- 2:32:09Which in turns do those things, I've learned how to Mentor other
- 2:32:14women and to show them how to deal with the struggles.
- 2:32:17I had as a child myself. Okay, thank you, Mr. Tillis has

- 2:53:54Probation sentencing will be February 12th 2020. 10 a.m.
- 2:54:04before George Washington. I just found an appropriate.
- 2:54:10I don't know if it's appropriate, but thank you.
- 2:54:13So it is my understanding. I was not the attorney at the
- 2:54:18last probable cause conference but it is my Understanding that
- 2:54:20Mr. Brown is remanded at the last hearing for Community.
- 2:54:23Corrections, Bond violation. It's my understanding.
- 2:54:25He's been a jail a week on that violation.
- 2:54:28In the basis of it was too missed tests, as well, as I
- 2:54:31believe a test that was positive for THC.
- 2:54:34I have spoken about this by my client.
- 2:54:37He, of course, admits to the bond violation.
- 2:54:39He did appear last week in court, knowing that he was
- 2:54:43likely to be remanded on the bond violation.
- 2:54:45I do not believe him to be a Flight Risk.
- 2:54:47He does have a residence where he lives with his girlfriend and
- 2:54:50four children ages. 1614 3 and 11 months in Taylor Michigan.
- 2:54:54He further has full-time work doing cement in flooring.
- 2:54:58He's a finisher he's asking for the court was consider
- 2:55:01reinstating his personal recognizance fund.
- 2:55:03He is willing to do anything that the court obviously orders.
- 2:55:07He understands he cannot have a single more, missed tests to
- 2:55:12understanding, has positive test, didn't have anything else.
- 2:55:14Positive besides the THC, he's willing to go on to other my
- 2:55:17client even told me he'd be willing to do house arrest.
- 2:55:20Rise from that is likely not the appropriate sanction, the court
- 2:55:23would issue. However, he's asked, he
- 2:55:25understands he's not to do substances.
- 2:55:27He needs, I'm not going to change Bond.
- 2:55:29What is going to need to do is he's going to need to talk to
- 2:55:31the probation department there. And then in judge, Washington's,
- 2:55:36good wisdom, decided to change his mom.
- 2:55:40Understood your daughter. I understand you say you're not

- 3:01:27I customarily sign in patient treatment.
- 3:01:31Thank you very much, okay. Dokie friends.
- 3:01:39That is the end of three hours of Court.
- 3:01:42It is. Now time for TCF overtime.
- 3:01:45Where we can talk about some of the stuff that we saw today.
- 3:01:48So I've got three things that I wanted to go through.
- 3:01:53I've got hoarder, man. I've got that pardon board where
- 3:01:58we need to see the end of it and then discuss it.
- 3:02:00And as well. I have some more data along the
- 3:02:05lines of what we've been talking about with stranger danger and
- 3:02:09kids, and all of that. And honestly, I think I'm going
- 3:02:11to start there and give you guys the opportunity.
- 3:02:14One, I'm going through that to phone in as they say, if you
- 3:02:18want. So again, channel members, if
- 3:02:20you go to the Member announcements and the Discord
- 3:02:24server. There's a link there.
- 3:02:28And sidebar panel members, there's a link in our private
- 3:02:32chat. If you'd like to join me to talk
- 3:02:33about hoarder man or the pardon border.
- 3:02:36Anything else? But I'm gonna lead off with some
- 3:02:39of this data. So we started this thought
- 3:02:42experiment, a few days back and it started with the idea of us
- 3:02:48moving the danger for our children from Outdoors to
- 3:02:51indoors through the whole milk carton thing and then into the
- 3:02:54stranger danger. And at the same time, you had
- 3:02:56the rise of things like the internet and video gaming and
- 3:02:59stuff. So gave Kids things to do inside
- 3:03:02and we ended up moving the danger from Outdoors to in the
- 3:03:07other day. We talked about, where is your
- 3:03:10child more at risk? Is it from like walking home
- 3:03:13from school? Or is it from being online with
- 3:03:16access to direct messages? And we talked about that but one
- 3:03:20of the One of the things that we talked about in all of that was
- 3:03:24how often with children if it's an in-person issue.
- 3:03:29It is more common. That.
- 3:03:34There's danger from an acquaintance.
- 3:03:36Then there is danger from a stranger. so I have some
- 3:03:39information on that, so we can kind of further our
- 3:03:42understanding their little bit So this is stranger danger
- 3:03:46versus familiar Danger. So, child maltreatment.
- 3:03:53Now you can Define that as neglect physical abuse.
- 3:03:59A more personal kind of assault. Things like that, but just Group
- 3:04:03it under maltreatment. Okay.
- 3:04:07As of 2023, that was the latest data 76% of such incidences were
- 3:04:13perpetrated by parents. So, just over three out of four.
- 3:04:21When kids are sexually abused, it's usually by someone they
- 3:04:25know the statistics there 93% of victims, under 18, knew the
- 3:04:30perpetrator 59% were acquaintances.
- 3:04:34So people known to the family 34% were actual family but only
- 3:04:387% were actual strangers. So chew on that for a minute.
- 3:04:46The So, often with our children, the the biggest piece of danger
- 3:04:52comes from those who are already around them.
- 3:04:55Rather than the people that we fear outside of our Circle,
- 3:04:59we've closed ourselves so up so much in our communities.
- 3:05:02And we don't interact with people and whatnot of all this
- 3:05:05fear, but the fear is just not as as founded.
- 3:05:09If you look at the data, it's more common that they're going
- 3:05:11to have problems within the circle around them.
- 3:05:18So, where did I leave off here? Even missing kids aren't usually
- 3:05:24a stranger danger, snatch type of scenario.
- 3:05:29Uh, most missing kids are actually runaways statistically.
- 3:05:35Non-family abductions are less than 1% of cases according to
- 3:05:41Nick Mick. The national Center for missing
- 3:05:43a splitted children. So, 99% plus of cases, if it's
- 3:05:48not a runaway situation, it involves a family member.
- 3:05:52Taking the kid. So, again, the danger is just
- 3:05:55not simple, it's just not statistically from outside.
- 3:06:03And stranger danger is rarer, but when it hits, it definitely
- 3:06:06is probably. I said, definitely is probably
- 3:06:09way to contradict myself down. It's probably the hardest
- 3:06:12hitting. So this was a kidnapping study
- 3:06:16from 1999, which is the the most recent broad study, I could find
- 3:06:24and it's said, In its study. That it found over the period.
- 3:06:31It was studying. I forget the exact period but it
- 3:06:33was a period of a few years if found a hundred and fifteen
- 3:06:37quote, unquote, stereotypical kidnapping.
- 3:06:39So you stereotypical kidnapping is one done by a stranger?
- 3:06:43But in that same time frame it found over 58,000.
- 3:06:50Abductions related to family members.
- 3:06:55So it's not even close, but again, when it does happen, it
- 3:06:59hits hard. Because within if if you have an
- 3:07:03abduction and the child is murdered 74% of it within the
- 3:07:06first three hours 90% within the first 24.
- 3:07:09So if your child is taken by a stranger and you don't get on it
- 3:07:15like immediately and solve it. If it's going to go south, it's
- 3:07:19going to go. South fast.
- 3:07:20So that's where like the milk cartons and stuff fails which we
- 3:07:23talked about before. So There you go.
- 3:07:27Anyway, so I just want to share that data with you because it
- 3:07:31expands upon what we were talking about before, but so,
- 3:07:36often in this, This desire to protect our children and protect
- 3:07:42our families. We're making the wrong choice
- 3:07:44is, we're not focusing where the real danger lies for them.
- 3:07:48You know, we're so worried about them being outside and, and
- 3:07:52getting around and learning their neighborhood and playing,
- 3:07:55and being involved in all that kind of stuff that we've
- 3:07:58probably Overexposed them to the bigger risks that they face.
- 3:08:02So slide share that with you because I found that to be
- 3:08:06fascinating data. And Ashley is here.
- 3:08:14What is Ashley want to talk about?
- 3:08:18Hi Ashley. Do you have discussion on that
- 3:08:21or were you looking for one of the other ones?
- 3:08:23No discussion on that actually because those statistics are
- 3:08:30really frightening. Yeah, aren't they?
- 3:08:35I, It's so much different than when I was young and I know I'm
- 3:08:42still young according to other people, but very young even in
- 3:08:47the 90. Okay, back in the night, I have
- 3:08:49a daughter, your age, Ashley the 90s early 2000s, then even in
- 3:08:55that, Even then, yeah, there was stranger danger.
- 3:09:00You had to be careful and communities, but it's not like
- 3:09:07it is now. Um, we could still ride, our
- 3:09:09bikes have fun, go to a neighbor's house, things like
- 3:09:14that, without any worry. But now these days you have to
- 3:09:19you know, it's it's kind of mesmerizing because even though
- 3:09:23we have these phones with us wherever we go that it's it's it
- 3:09:31has the opposite of effect. It seems that the more we are
- 3:09:35being tracked in the more in the digital age, seems like the more
- 3:09:40danger, we are being put in on every day basis too.
- 3:09:43So I just wanted to bring that point up because it seems like
- 3:09:47the more Electronics. We are getting.
- 3:09:50It shaping. Yes kids staying indoors playing
- 3:09:54video games and staying safe. Yes.
- 3:09:58But that stranger danger thing. Just statistic that you said
- 3:10:02that more is happening from family members and people that
- 3:10:06that person knows is quite confound because we didn't even
- 3:10:12think about considered that when in the 90s and early 2000s.
- 3:10:17Um, so yeah and it makes you it makes you wonder I suppose since
- 3:10:25we didn't even consider it then. you know, did the when we moved
- 3:10:32the kids off the street, did we change?
- 3:10:34Maybe the distribution of the danger?
- 3:10:36That's just me. And what I'm what I mean by that
- 3:10:38is, were these people who had these predilections, because
- 3:10:43there wasn't the supply of the outside.
- 3:10:45Are they now going to family members to fulfill their urges I
- 3:10:51don't know. And that's very possible too,
- 3:10:53I'm not sure no. I might have that might be part
- 3:10:56of the SKU in the data. But but as it stands right now,
- 3:11:00it's it's the family and friends that are the bigger risk.
- 3:11:04I mean something, how to change, definitely with more kids, being
- 3:11:09home and being less susceptible to family members.
- 3:11:12I think that Has also a hand in it as well.
- 3:11:17There is more online schooling than ever before as well.
- 3:11:20So kids are staying home more and things of that nature.
- 3:11:26So yeah, I think it's the accessibility.
- 3:11:28There's more younger people staying home these days and
- 3:11:32being more accessible to family by family members and other
- 3:11:36family members, It's awkward, right with the family member and
- 3:11:44the other family members. kind of, I don't want to say, turn
- 3:11:50up, line I but they don't really know what to do in that
- 3:11:52situation because, yeah, it's family.
- 3:11:54You wouldn't expect that from a family member, so that's also
- 3:12:00something to think about as well.
- 3:12:01There's many multiple facets to this issue.
- 3:12:07And yeah, I think just skim the surface of it.
- 3:12:10Yeah, I'm gonna keep digging on it because I've the more I'm
- 3:12:13digging in the more fascinated I am just by the breakdown of
- 3:12:18things. I mean, I'm saddened by it too.
- 3:12:20Don't get me wrong. There's just way too much of the
- 3:12:22stuff that goes on. But it's, it's interesting how
- 3:12:25the breakdown of the data is happening and it where it shows
- 3:12:30isn't necessarily where our focuses.
- 3:12:32And that's what's so weird to me and also comparing the data
- 3:12:36Maybe from maybe the early 2000s to now that would be interesting
- 3:12:40to look at as well just to see How that has morphed over time
- 3:12:46and I I'm not believe covid didn't help things either.
- 3:12:49I think people are still in that covid culture or covid.
- 3:12:54Society type thing. I don't think that's happened.
- 3:12:58That's helped either on 2020. Know though, I will say that.
- 3:13:03Last thing I pulled up was 1999, so really as the internet was
- 3:13:08just starting to really ramp itself up.
- 3:13:11It was 115 of the quote unquote, stereotypical kidnappings, with
- 3:13:1558,000 actual abductions by family.
- 3:13:21Wow. So, so even back then, even back
- 3:13:24then but you just didn't hear about it.
- 3:13:26Yeah. now you know, how do they, you know, and I'm willing to
- 3:13:31about that a lot of that 58,000 is custody dispute because
- 3:13:35that's that's the most common kind of quote, unquote,
- 3:13:38abduction, Is custody stuff. Yeah.
- 3:13:41Where you've got a parent who doesn't want to play nice,
- 3:13:44right? But but still, I mean even back
- 3:13:48then the data was was massively skewed in the One Direction so
- 3:13:52it's curiosity that's my blowing but I know All right.
- 3:13:58Well I'm gonna move on to the next topic about that subject.
- 3:14:02I just wanted to bring up some points that you had because that
- 3:14:06The statistics are not there. They're frightening to be on
- 3:14:10because the You need to rely on. Those people to help you provide
- 3:14:18shelter and safety. And if you don't get that at
- 3:14:20home, where do you get that? It's awful.
- 3:14:24Well, and a lot of cases. They just don't they don't get
- 3:14:28that and people are wondering why Society is like it is Well,
- 3:14:33that's a big one right there. I think that you mentioned how
- 3:14:37many times have I said it. It starts by building.
- 3:14:39Good families and good people. I'm not saying I'm just saying,
- 3:14:43you know what I'm saying? Yes.
- 3:14:47Let you go. Down.
- 3:14:48All right. Oh, thank you.
- 3:14:50Hang out. If you want for any of the other
- 3:14:51topics just gonna call you back in cool.
- 3:14:58Okay, dokie, let's talk about. Let's talk about horror man for
- 3:15:02a minute. So I have lost track as to how
- 3:15:06much we've seen hoarder man on this channel.
- 3:15:09I think this was hearing five, maybe, Five.
- 3:15:14Sounds right. But To be honest, we've seen him
- 3:15:17so much. I've lost track And I don't know
- 3:15:21what you guys think. But I walked away from this
- 3:15:26hearing. Oh, I didn't walk away.
- 3:15:29Did I I sat here after hearing and I was very disappointed and
- 3:15:36judgment McNally. And honestly I'm also
- 3:15:41disappointed in Woodhaven and how they're handling this as
- 3:15:44well. I don't understand first off why
- 3:15:49the city has allowed this to drag on for as long as it has?
- 3:15:53It just makes zero sense to me whatsoever because most cities
- 3:15:57that I've experienced. Anyways, aren't gonna tolerate
- 3:16:00it for that long. They just aren't go to Saint Joe
- 3:16:04County with judge Middleton. And he's got a similar hoarder
- 3:16:08man case going on there. And as I recall he was giving a
- 3:16:10deadline and after that the city's just going to move in and
- 3:16:13the taxi on his property, they'll clean it up and you know
- 3:16:17they'll put a lean on it to pay for it.
- 3:16:20That makes sense to me that it should happen that way, but
- 3:16:24would Haven just keeps dragging his feet.
- 3:16:27And I'm disappointed in judgment McNally, and how he's handling
- 3:16:31this? because I He's coming across to
- 3:16:37me as an enabler to be honest with you.
- 3:16:41This has been dragging on for so long.
- 3:16:44And we keep hearing from McNally.
- 3:16:47I don't know what to do with you.
- 3:16:48He said that in the last several hearings, it keeps repeating it.
- 3:16:51I don't know what to do with you.
- 3:16:53I don't want to do this. I don't know what to do with
- 3:16:55you. I don't want to do this, you're
- 3:16:57making me do this. I don't want to do this.
- 3:16:59I don't know what to do with you and yeah, he did put them in
- 3:17:01jail the one time for a few days but he's allowing these excuses
- 3:17:08to just continue to set in and my opinion, and it's becoming
- 3:17:11enabling for him because I think he's under the impression.
- 3:17:16Again, there was that one exception where he was jailed
- 3:17:19for a couple of days, but He's getting this message that it's
- 3:17:24okay to continue to drag his feet. and McNally said to me, he
- 3:17:32said to him rather that well you know, I mean it this time, You
- 3:17:37know next time you come in here if it's not ready you know
- 3:17:40things are gonna happen I don't believe him necessarily and I
- 3:17:43like McNally a lot but in this particular instance I'm not
- 3:17:46believing what he's saying. I don't.
- 3:17:51I don't buy it and I don't buy it because again we've been
- 3:17:54through this so many times now and there's so little progress
- 3:17:58being made and you've got the Good Samaritans who are lined up
- 3:18:01and ready to help this guy and he's not taking advantage of it.
- 3:18:04There has to be there has to be something there.
- 3:18:08That's more forceful because the guy is just not going to get
- 3:18:11there on his own and McNally softball team today.
- 3:18:16And yesterday it was, we showed it today, but he saw the whole
- 3:18:20thing in my opinion. And I think it's just continues
- 3:18:25to enable him, you know, it's the parent who counts to three.
- 3:18:29But the child knows to just shut up at 2 and if the parent gets
- 3:18:33to three half the time, they're not going to do anything.
- 3:18:35Anyways. You know.
- 3:18:37Sometimes you have to take. Punitive measures that are
- 3:18:42Swift. and I think that is what this guy needs, but it's just
- 3:18:47not happening and Maybe it would be easier on McNally.
- 3:18:52If the city would actually take some sort of action like so many
- 3:18:57other. Municipalities will, but they
- 3:19:00are not, they're just complaining about it for 25
- 3:19:03years, which again is just another enabling Factor.
- 3:19:06So you can let me know if you think differently but I was I
- 3:19:10was disappointed in how that was handled and I don't I don't
- 3:19:15think it's going to be any better when we see him in March.
- 3:19:18and something tells me that it's not a slam dunk that McNally
- 3:19:22throws him in jail in March when it goes south as we know that it
- 3:19:26will Because it will. But I could very well be wrong.
- 3:19:33Ashley, tell me I'm wrong. No, you're not wrong.
- 3:19:37And nine years. Of.
- 3:19:42My, in my previous workplace, I spent nine years and more of the
- 3:19:48property management sector. And we have the same issue.
- 3:19:53We would have Tenants that stayed in properties for so many
- 3:19:58years. And they got used to different
- 3:20:02things. I mean we we would hear excuses
- 3:20:05every month or so and we want to give in not because we're mean
- 3:20:10people but because we had to set that get groundwork that if I
- 3:20:15give in to this person, they might come around and say, well,
- 3:20:19you did that last time. Um, and that's kind of what I
- 3:20:24relate to order, man. Because McNally is like, gave in
- 3:20:31the first time and it's like, okay, this is your warning.
- 3:20:33Then he came back and kind of gave him a second warning and so
- 3:20:37on and so forth. And now hoarder man expects that
- 3:20:41the judge will be leaning it with them because he was leaning
- 3:20:43it with them the other times through and that yeah, it's a
- 3:20:49slippery slope for sure. Not saying that ground rule and
- 3:20:54that expectation. The first or second time he came
- 3:20:57in and now Yeah. And I just and I know we're
- 3:21:03human, right? And judges are humans too.
- 3:21:05They have to They are kind, they want to be kind of people and
- 3:21:13they want to help people in the way they can.
- 3:21:16But sometimes helping people is not in the good of the situation
- 3:21:22and I think that's what happened here for sure.
- 3:21:26Yeah. McNally's Behavior kind of
- 3:21:28reminds me back in the 80s. I think it was, I think it was
- 3:21:34Qaddafi, in Libya, he had the line of death.
- 3:21:39And he's like cross this line, you die.
- 3:21:41And then the, you know, the US and and other allies get up on
- 3:21:45the line and the line moves back cross this line, you die cross
- 3:21:48this line, you die. And then I see, you know, the
- 3:21:50line is at his front door. It's it's kind of the same
- 3:21:53thing. It's like Halo threats.
- 3:21:56Yes. Yeah.
- 3:21:57And if you don't act on those threats, it tells that person.
- 3:22:03Oh, he's not being serious. And it takes advantage of that
- 3:22:07person. I hate when people do this.
- 3:22:09Because I like to think of the good of other people before I
- 3:22:13think badly of them, but people will take advantage of That
- 3:22:18person's actions. They they do every chance they
- 3:22:21can, and I've gotten burned so many times, letting people do
- 3:22:27whatever. they kind of want to do and you just can't, you have
- 3:22:32to set that ground rule and you have to Say your expectation.
- 3:22:37What? The consequence of that
- 3:22:39expectation is and if you don't follow upon it, you cannot set
- 3:22:43that expectation again. Yup know exactly.
- 3:22:47You know, we'll we'll see what happens in March, but based on
- 3:22:50what I saw today, I don't buy that.
- 3:22:52Anything's Gonna Change with that guy because he's still full
- 3:22:55of excuses and I don't buy that. Anything's Gonna Change with
- 3:22:58McNally because he's he's been relatively soft on the sky the
- 3:23:02whole way and I and I don't get it because he's so harsh on
- 3:23:08others. I don't know what it is about
- 3:23:09this guy. Yeah.
- 3:23:09And the Woodhaven Township is another thing you were talking
- 3:23:14about about them getting away for so long.
- 3:23:20And not taking action, that's puzzling.
- 3:23:22For sure. I would think they would have a
- 3:23:25paper trail of them. Reaching out to him about.
- 3:23:31Like with warnings and things, they should have taken action a
- 3:23:35long time ago as well. So it's the combination of the
- 3:23:40Woodhaven Township and the judge that's making this situation
- 3:23:43just Awful. I wonder if it wasn't difficult
- 3:23:48in the first place, for whatever reason and you know, the
- 3:23:53mentality becomes I'll just leave it for the next guy. and
- 3:23:57after 25 years, there's been several iterations of the next
- 3:24:00guy Oh yeah, he's not a young chicken but he he did say that
- 3:24:07the person that he talked to, before retired, I didn't catch
- 3:24:11that part. So yeah, I'm sure that has
- 3:24:13something to do with it. Know, people being lazy Yeah,
- 3:24:18definitely. And, you know, I hate to say
- 3:24:22this, but a lot of cities and townships.
- 3:24:27And Georgia are especially lazy as well.
- 3:24:30So I cannot say specifically that they're lazy, I think.
- 3:24:37All the government agencies are somewhat.
- 3:24:41Kind of the same with that factor.
- 3:24:44So There's truth there. Yeah, I think I told you agree
- 3:24:51with your point of them having to, they should step in and
- 3:24:56clean up the mess and then Bill him for whatever.
- 3:25:01Whatever they need to build home for.
- 3:25:03I I know it's not I think in this Township but I think it
- 3:25:09should be a thing and something that they need to pass for sure.
- 3:25:12Well at this point it's the cleanest way to handle it.
- 3:25:15But but we lose content that way so you know I know but it would
- 3:25:23it would save the judge brain cells and would say the township
- 3:25:27brain cells and ultimately it would.
- 3:25:31Yeah, hoarder mail will not like that for sure because he doesn't
- 3:25:36want people to touch his stuff and I totally understand that
- 3:25:40but At the same time, if you are told to do something.
- 3:25:47And you do not act upon it and don't get it done.
- 3:25:50You should expect consequences. And that would be part of those
- 3:25:54consequences that we were talking about before, so.
- 3:25:57Yeah, yeah. So All right.
- 3:26:00What do you say? We finish up this.
- 3:26:03Pardon parole board thing. Yeah, I was not you'll have to
- 3:26:08film me in on that because I was away for that time.
- 3:26:10So, okay. Well, 50,000 foot view for
- 3:26:14anybody who was away for that time.
- 3:26:16This was actually, I put us in the way back machine for the
- 3:26:19this was from two days ago, and this is a woman in front of the
- 3:26:24board. Who 20 some years ago was on
- 3:26:29probation for something. She worked at a Microtel she got
- 3:26:35a call that she was being fired. She went to the Microtel
- 3:26:39confronted her boss shot her boss, but did not kill her.
- 3:26:44So it was like an attempted murder kind of thing.
- 3:26:48So, during her time in prison, She has quote unquote reformed
- 3:26:54and been a model citizen. That's what, that's what the
- 3:26:58advocates for her. Including a bunch of the jail
- 3:27:00official. The prison officials rather were
- 3:27:01saying she has found Jesus. She has.
- 3:27:08Become like a minister or a leader in Ministry.
- 3:27:11She is. Got a degree is I recall.
- 3:27:16Now she's done all of these things, right?
- 3:27:19But then the victim's son and his son's wife get on and
- 3:27:25they're incredibly emotional. And they've got a whole list of
- 3:27:30all of the offenses that she has had.
- 3:27:33Well, she's been in prison. And supposedly her
- 3:27:38transformation started in 2616. But she still had issues in 2018
- 3:27:44violent. So there's like two sides to
- 3:27:49what's going on here. You've got those on her side
- 3:27:53that are saying she's completely changed.
- 3:27:55You've got the victims going. No and oh by the way the woman
- 3:28:00it wasn't expressly said but it sounds like a few years ago she
- 3:28:05committed suicide the victim. Because they said they said that
- 3:28:10she died from all of the mental stress of it.
- 3:28:14So so it implies that she committed suicide, so their
- 3:28:18argument is it wasn't a tempted murder, it was a murder.
- 3:28:23So that's what their arguing again.
- 3:28:25Very emotional. Very Compelling in their own
- 3:28:28way. but, So that's kind of the two side of all of this.
- 3:28:36And they went into executive session and now we're going to
- 3:28:39figure out what they did an executive session.
- 3:28:43And then we'll talk about it. Gotcha.
- 3:28:45All right, everybody's caught up hang tight.
- 3:28:49Let's pull up that hearing. And pick it up.
- 3:28:54Where we left off. To do.
- 3:28:57Let's go. There.
- 3:29:05All right, guys, here we go. Alright, I'll move to go back
- 3:29:10into writing or session second by Mr. Tillis, without
- 3:29:14objection, we're back in regular session.
- 3:29:17It is 10:45 a.m. And we are prepared to vote Mr.
- 3:29:22Tillis will be voting first Is. I, I commend you, for The
- 3:29:36positive things you've done. and, I really I really sorry
- 3:29:50that the family or their loss. I really am.
- 3:29:54And I'm not going to drag this out, love to.
- 3:29:59Today is going to be to Grant with uh to the Louisiana pool
- 3:30:05project. For free.
- 3:30:08Okay, um you know so want to commend you on everything you've
- 3:30:12done. One thing I do want to know is
- 3:30:16that you have a good time date in two years.
- 3:30:19So it's not actually five years. oh so regardless of what we do
- 3:30:24today, you get out in two years but You know, that family still
- 3:30:30suffering and and it was and it it's it's tough and I think I
- 3:30:36do, I do realize it was totally premeditated.
- 3:30:39So my vote today is going to be to deny victim opposition and
- 3:30:46Okay. Yeah, there is very strong
- 3:30:50opposition in the record Dana for from the prosecutor and law
- 3:30:56enforcement. You heard from the victim today.
- 3:30:58I agree. Also some of the some of the
- 3:31:03things that you said to us today, don't really match what's
- 3:31:05in the record that what happened in our understanding, the way
- 3:31:09that process things, sometimes over time changes but I too
- 3:31:13believe that you you meant to do harm and just care way.
- 3:31:16You went there with the intention of doing her.
- 3:31:19Several listen to. The family of miscarriage and
- 3:31:26they are, they are really still breathing.
- 3:31:30I'm not sure they understand what good time is.
- 3:31:34You know, you do have a mandatory release date, which is
- 3:31:37February, 24th of 2028, you'll no matter what you'll be getting
- 3:31:42out that day, I A little to the victims, my vote today.
- 3:31:48Based on the opposition, we hire.
- 3:31:50Is going to be to deny your parole.
- 3:31:52I do. Congratulate you on the hard
- 3:31:54work that you've done, but you've got a release date coming
- 3:31:58up in the near future. So keep doing what you're doing
- 3:32:01Mentor others I think you can help other people.
- 3:32:03Good luck to you, Ma'am. Today, you've been denied.
- 3:32:08Thank you. Okay friends.
- 3:32:12There you go. Denied. so, I have thoughts on
- 3:32:23this one and if you have thoughts, feel free to join me
- 3:32:27and talk about it. But here's the thing that got
- 3:32:35me. So, She had a whole laundry list
- 3:32:39and if you didn't hear the laundry list when we're done
- 3:32:42here, if you weren't around for it, go back and watch that
- 3:32:45hearing and they list off all of the offenses that she committed
- 3:32:49and most of them were prior to 2616.
- 3:32:54And supposedly in 2016 as we when she began to find God and
- 3:32:59to change her life and all of that.
- 3:33:02However, in 2018, she was found guilty in the facility of a
- 3:33:09sexual assault. so, two years after her transformation began,
- 3:33:15she missed me misbehaved in potentially not even
- 3:33:20potentially. Most definitely, I would say of
- 3:33:25the list of things that were read off, that was her.
- 3:33:29That was her biggest offense, not.
- 3:33:32I don't remember if it was a sexual assault or sexual
- 3:33:34encounter, it was something sexual.
- 3:33:36So, I want to make sure that I'm clear on the record that I could
- 3:33:40be wrong on that. But it was some sexually related
- 3:33:43offense in the prison. Two years after her, so called
- 3:33:49transformation began. now if you've hung around here long
- 3:33:53enough, you know, that I'm a Christian, you know, that I'm
- 3:33:55God fearing, you know, that I believe in a higher power and
- 3:33:58that I hope for people to find the Lord for people to change
- 3:34:02for people to grow and I am, however, always leery of prison
- 3:34:08Transmissions because I think they're often used Uh, well as
- 3:34:14it's been described before as the Jesus blanket, it's been
- 3:34:18described on this channel as that, this this, excuse, this
- 3:34:22place for people to go and feel sheltered and forgiving in all
- 3:34:27of that, which is true in a spiritual sense and it is true
- 3:34:30in in a Godly sense, but there is still the matter of the price
- 3:34:34that you have to pay here on the planet.
- 3:34:38And she's close to being done with paying that price.
- 3:34:40She's only two years out for me, at least with her good time.
- 3:34:43So and somehow despite all of her violations.
- 3:34:46So she was in there, she still masked some good times so she's
- 3:34:49gonna get out in two years regardless. but, What struck me
- 3:34:56more than anything in listening to this was I don't understand.
- 3:35:03How so many people now. I guess I've got to defer to
- 3:35:07them a little bit because they're with her every day, but
- 3:35:10I don't understand how so many people found.
- 3:35:14So much goodness. In this person.
- 3:35:20And are so convinced of her transformation.
- 3:35:24Despite the fact that two years into her transformation, she
- 3:35:29committed, what was the worst on her list of prison offenses?
- 3:35:35It, it doesn't add up to me now. I'm not saying, that she hasn't
- 3:35:42made improvements, and I'm not saying That.
- 3:35:47There's no way she would do. Okay, once she gets out, she
- 3:35:50might, especially with the the Support of the parole project
- 3:35:55and them. Giving her The tools that she
- 3:35:58would need and the support that she would need. but, I'm not
- 3:36:03sold on it and it's surprising to me that all of these prison
- 3:36:09officials. and the people who have dealt with her, And one of
- 3:36:14the board members were convinced by it.
- 3:36:21It doesn't. It doesn't add up to me.
- 3:36:24I don't I don't understand it this.
- 3:36:26And the reason why, that's the reason why I wanted to show the
- 3:36:28history reason why I've been holding it.
- 3:36:30I was going to show it yesterday but I had the stream failure.
- 3:36:32So I do it today. But when I watched this, The
- 3:36:39other afternoon as I was doing other work.
- 3:36:42I was listening. It's like how are they so
- 3:36:43convinced. that this woman is like, you know, the bestest
- 3:36:50thing since sliced bread in the hula hoop.
- 3:36:52Again, I'm not saying that she hasn't made improvements and if
- 3:36:55she has that's great, but they were talking about what was like
- 3:37:00her Integrity or her honesty, something like that.
- 3:37:02Um, You know, I don't know, I don't ever think we should be
- 3:37:08defined by our worst action. because, If we're solely defined
- 3:37:16by our worst action, every single one of us will be
- 3:37:19eternally. Damned I it's just facts.
- 3:37:22Just not all of us. Have to go to prison for for the
- 3:37:26bad things that we do, but every one of us does things that just
- 3:37:29you know, aren't right? You know. so I get that part,
- 3:37:34but I don't know. like I said, it was just very unconvincing to
- 3:37:40me based on the evidence and based on the data, That there
- 3:37:46was a true transformation there. And I'm just befuddled, by the
- 3:37:52number of people who Were convinced that there was.
- 3:37:58But again, to deal with her everyday, so maybe they're
- 3:38:00seeing something. We're not But you know, if the
- 3:38:06last bad thing was 2018 is 2026. Now it's you know, seven plus
- 3:38:11years Depending on when it happened in 2018.
- 3:38:14So, You know. Maybe it is real. but I guess I
- 3:38:20guess I would need more data more data than what was
- 3:38:23presented at that hearing, which was part of the surprise to me
- 3:38:26that the first of vote was to parole.
- 3:38:31I, I didn't necessarily see that and the facts in all line up
- 3:38:37either. Because people were talking
- 3:38:38about how How good she's been with out?
- 3:38:42You know, any missteps, and whatnot, and then they read all
- 3:38:45of these missed UPS. Now maybe, when they were
- 3:38:47speaking about how good she was in the lack of missteps, maybe
- 3:38:50it was Maybe it was the lack of misstep since 2018, I don't
- 3:38:54know. but, Again, I just I don't get it.
- 3:39:00And I'm willing to guess, you don't get it either, Michael?
- 3:39:03I don't I don't get it. See, I know you.
- 3:39:08I Dan, I don't my microphones all weird today but um, I don't
- 3:39:16understand it. Um, I you know, the wrapping
- 3:39:21yourself in the Jesus blanket. I think just makes your case
- 3:39:23even worse because the Bible, I'm not going to quote the Bible
- 3:39:27today. Ah, this isn't gonna be the
- 3:39:30agnostic teaches you about the Bible.
- 3:39:33Ashley Mike mark down that Michael refused to quote the
- 3:39:36Bible today. However well I won't quote it
- 3:39:41directly I will say there are I mean of all the things in the
- 3:39:46Bible punishment and obeying laws is a very common theme
- 3:39:51throughout and it's so I I think that people need to understand
- 3:39:58that I think that if you're going to use the Bible and God
- 3:40:02and everything as your defense, you should probably understand
- 3:40:05that. I think one of the key elements
- 3:40:08in there is to accept and Obey, and adhere to, and, you know,
- 3:40:13and accept the punishment that you've been given and to just
- 3:40:17try and get out of it early because you think that you have
- 3:40:20found the ways of God and because you think you are
- 3:40:23suddenly this God-fearing individual.
- 3:40:25And well, then if you truly are, then as that as the victim said,
- 3:40:31then you should sit for your entire punishment because that
- 3:40:34is what the state has given you. If that's, you know, that that's
- 3:40:39what you should do. If you've truly accepted God,
- 3:40:44Well, I've said it before Michael, that one of my problems
- 3:40:48with modern day, Christianity in the modern day church, is that
- 3:40:52they're only teaching. Well, I, again, I don't want to
- 3:40:56be absolutist. A vast majority of them are
- 3:40:59mostly teaching. I want to walk it right up to
- 3:41:01that line, just out of the New Testament.
- 3:41:03So we're, we're doing the Jesus talk, but you have to look at
- 3:41:08the text as a whole for me. The Old Testament teaches us
- 3:41:12about bad, actions and accountability, and Punishment.
- 3:41:17The New Testament gives us the path to Salvation from all of
- 3:41:20that. And I think you have to look at
- 3:41:22both and I would think you would especially have to look at both
- 3:41:25for prisoners for convicted. Felons they have to have both of
- 3:41:30those messages but the modern day teachings the way that
- 3:41:35Christianity is presented. Now It's it's the Jesus blanket.
- 3:41:40And it's not good enough. You need both.
- 3:41:45I definitely agree with that, I think.
- 3:41:49Okay, when you first said that the victims May were very
- 3:41:53emotional and everything like that, I feel for them.
- 3:41:57I am not saying that they are wrong, they're wrong to feel
- 3:42:01that way. I think every victim should have
- 3:42:03a chance to convey their feelings during this and
- 3:42:08however, I don't think the victim should be the soul.
- 3:42:14I always believed that the victim should not.
- 3:42:19Portray what should happen to that person?
- 3:42:22That's why you have the board. So that's why I feel that way
- 3:42:27afterwards. But when you said Dan that she
- 3:42:32committed, Things in gel like problems in there were problems
- 3:42:37when she was in prison. That That would justify them
- 3:42:44keeping her in in my opinion. Yes.
- 3:42:47Um, I don't think Even if it was a few years back or whatever and
- 3:42:54such a bad offense like that, I I would not put her out on
- 3:43:00parole just because of that. No, I don't.
- 3:43:05Know. And and that's the other thing.
- 3:43:06That was my other point too. Actually good.
- 3:43:09You know, that was where I was going next was then on top of it
- 3:43:14you're you're talking about how your God fearing and you found
- 3:43:17God and Jesus, and all that. And that's, that's great.
- 3:43:20You know, fantastic. I never think that.
- 3:43:24That should I don't care. Even if it is the most sincere
- 3:43:28thing that's ever been said, I don't think that should shorten
- 3:43:30your your punishment but also, you have all these jail
- 3:43:33incidents. You have all these incidents in
- 3:43:35the prison and it's not like one or two.
- 3:43:37I mean, I think most people in prison probably get rid of at
- 3:43:40some point. Um, but I mean these, some of
- 3:43:44them were serious. Yeah, those stuffed in there as
- 3:43:48I recall I think there was a salt.
- 3:43:50There was this yeah, there is a sex assault in there.
- 3:43:53Yeah. That was just I think there was
- 3:43:55just a vanilla assault too. Yeah.
- 3:43:57Yeah. There was.
- 3:43:58And there was, you know, on authorized being in an
- 3:44:01unauthorized area, there was Disobedience, which whatever
- 3:44:04that means Um, there was, you know, a lot of insubordination
- 3:44:09kind of stuff that went on. So and a number of other
- 3:44:12incidents too and again Is where this was?
- 3:44:17A part of behavioral problems. You know, we see some people
- 3:44:19that are in there that that don't have a lot of write-ups or
- 3:44:23haven't had one in 25 years or something.
- 3:44:25Um, And so, I, I think her behavior.
- 3:44:30There says that she hasn't truly reformed, it says to me that
- 3:44:34there's still some issues and, you know, I can't have somebody
- 3:44:39going out into society that has still, they can't even figure it
- 3:44:43out when everybody's watching you when you should be on your
- 3:44:46best behavior. I cannot justify letting
- 3:44:50somebody out in that situation. No, I will say this.
- 3:44:54I don't remember was Wahoo or Charles, but somebody put in the
- 3:44:58chat when we were watching that, that If she's going to get out
- 3:45:02in two years, anyways, I think the point that was trying to be
- 3:45:05made was, does it make sense to let her go out to the parole
- 3:45:09project? Where at least she has
- 3:45:10supervision for a couple years for maybe a softer Landing that
- 3:45:14was Charles. Now there is some okay, there's
- 3:45:17a point to be made for that because when she gets let out my
- 3:45:21understanding is there's no supervision, she's just out.
- 3:45:25Um there is a point to be made for that.
- 3:45:27I could see that we've talked about that I think actually
- 3:45:30before too. There's been a couple of other
- 3:45:32times where even the board has suggested letting them out so
- 3:45:36that now so that they can get the supervision and maybe you
- 3:45:39know, I could see that. I suppose.
- 3:45:43And maybe I don't think the victims would be happy with
- 3:45:45that. And again, as Ashley said, you
- 3:45:47know, it's not really about what the victims want per se, but the
- 3:45:52reason they have them there is for context is to add context
- 3:45:55and background. Yeah, they're gonna be emotional
- 3:45:57and as hard as it is for humans to do, we have to divorce
- 3:46:00ourselves from those emotions, but listen to what they're
- 3:46:03saying because the board didn't bring up the the prison, you
- 3:46:08know, the incident reports first, they did and then the
- 3:46:12board followed up on that. And I think that was that added
- 3:46:15some very important contacts and, and they brought up, you
- 3:46:19know, not just their emotions and being upset.
- 3:46:21They brought up to fact that they don't think that she's
- 3:46:24actually Reformed are at least, not totally.
- 3:46:28And hey, I'm always saying, I think I think most people other
- 3:46:33than, you know, sex is old. I think most other people can be
- 3:46:37rehabilitated even murderers or attempted murders, but I don't
- 3:46:42think that's what's going on here yet.
- 3:46:45Yeah, yeah. Because you, you could, you
- 3:46:47could argue, I suppose that the based on what you're saying, the
- 3:46:52fact that you could reform in attempted murder You could argue
- 3:46:56that that offense in 2018 and prison was a worse offense.
- 3:47:02Than the one she's in prison for I would.
- 3:47:04And and that's an argument I can make for sure.
- 3:47:08You know, I because by your logic, it's not something she
- 3:47:11can be reformed from. No, no.
- 3:47:14And that's my biggest problem. Is that offense?
- 3:47:17I think says more. Says more about her than any of
- 3:47:22the other offenses because it look, man, I get it.
- 3:47:24You know, some people get written up and maybe they just
- 3:47:26don't want to do something. They're not feeling it, they're
- 3:47:28in prison. Yeah, you know, we all have bad
- 3:47:30days. It's just if you have a bad day
- 3:47:32in prison it could make it could get you a right up. but that one
- 3:47:36in particular is is Horrible. That's horrendous.
- 3:47:43So I don't know, Dan. I don't know what to make of
- 3:47:45that. And then the other thing of
- 3:47:47course, drifting over to hoarder, man, Or this is a saga
- 3:47:51that it's the gift that keeps on giving never ends and you know,
- 3:47:55it's been going on technically for 25 years.
- 3:47:59Yeah. Um, and at this point, yeah,
- 3:48:03hoarder man is responsible but I I almost don't even blame him
- 3:48:07anymore. I don't look, here's the thing.
- 3:48:11It here's the thing. If if bank robbery bank robbery
- 3:48:17is is a felony, it's a major crime.
- 3:48:19But if I went in and robbed a bank and nobody did anything to
- 3:48:24stop me, Is it really my problem?
- 3:48:28I mean is my really the bad person or is the fact that we're
- 3:48:31not putting teeth to a law? Is it society's problem?
- 3:48:36Like at some point? if you don't do something about
- 3:48:40a problem, You know, the its no longer is about the person
- 3:48:45committing the act as much as it is about the people that refuse
- 3:48:48to do anything to stop it. They can scream and yell and
- 3:48:50say, it's bad. But I mean you said it best.
- 3:48:53I mean, would Haven's not doing anything about it?
- 3:48:56Um, judge McNally, who, you know, I love judgmentally
- 3:49:00whenever, you know, judgmental, he judge Boyd.
- 3:49:02I'm always, I always go to them. I think they're great.
- 3:49:06I think judge McNally is you know a fair judge and I think
- 3:49:11despite the fact we call them judge dad and he does have his
- 3:49:13grumpy side. I really do think he's
- 3:49:15compassionate but I will say this about Judge McNally.
- 3:49:18I wonder If he doesn't feel bad for the guy because he's old,
- 3:49:23like if this was a 32 year old guy that just couldn't get his
- 3:49:26crap together, I think judgment. McNally have no problem.
- 3:49:29Dropping the hammer on him. But he's gotta be.
- 3:49:33Yeah, I think he has some soft side for this dude.
- 3:49:38There's got to be something there because a couple hearing
- 3:49:40is back. He actually mentioned that he
- 3:49:42drove by the guys house and had to look for himself.
- 3:49:45Yes, so he first hand knows what's going on there and he's
- 3:49:50put him in jail. Five days twice now.
- 3:49:52Oh, it was it twice? Okay.
- 3:49:53Yes. Yeah, twice.
- 3:49:55He's put him in and he's, he threatened the last time, but he
- 3:49:59didn't Yeah. Um, and he's threatening again
- 3:50:03and I I don't know if he will in March.
- 3:50:09Maybe maybe he will, and maybe he won't, you know, he's he's
- 3:50:13done barely anything. He has all of his Litany of
- 3:50:16excuses. Well, I've had the flu since
- 3:50:18Christmas and last time it was like, well, I, I was on a board
- 3:50:21or something. I was helping people do this for
- 3:50:24four months. Well, that was two weeks and
- 3:50:25then I had something else and then it rained you mean it's
- 3:50:28been raining for three months. Well, you know, rained off and
- 3:50:31not its Michigan. Yeah, it's gonna rain.
- 3:50:32Well, in March, you're gonna have that cold wet rain up
- 3:50:36there, so that's gonna shut, that's gonna shut it down to
- 3:50:38August or a blizzard. Yeah, still taking out of the
- 3:50:42snow. Yeah.
- 3:50:43And his son's to busy to help their dads as well working over
- 3:50:5040 hours a week, too. But I again, Dan, I will say
- 3:50:54this and Ashley, I will say this.
- 3:50:57You know. when I guess hosted, we did the that long hearing
- 3:51:00with with judgmentalism It was another hoarder, man.
- 3:51:06And Saint Joe County, they handled that much differently.
- 3:51:10They just threatened. They said, listen, we've got
- 3:51:12people, that'll come in there and take care of it, but it'll
- 3:51:16be at it'll ultimately be at the at the property owner's expense
- 3:51:19and then we'll put a tax lien on the property but a bing bada
- 3:51:23boom problem solved and it was going on for a couple of years
- 3:51:26or a few years. I know that it had been going on
- 3:51:29for a while because these things are never instant but it sure as
- 3:51:33hell hadn't been going on for 25 years.
- 3:51:36Um and so I I think that's the way to handle it.
- 3:51:39I mean, that's ultimately what you have to do and if this guy I
- 3:51:43mean he they have people that are willing to help him So he's
- 3:51:48refusing to help because he's not taking it seriously because
- 3:51:52he doesn't need to because everybody's enabling them.
- 3:51:55I mean, if you see a bratty child in the supermarket, is it
- 3:51:59really the fall to the child? There's the default of the
- 3:52:01parent for not getting that situation under control.
- 3:52:03Yes, that's exactly exactly. And child grows up to be.
- 3:52:08I mean, not her man per se, but somebody like that.
- 3:52:13No. But even as an adult, you're
- 3:52:14molded by the actions that are placed upon you.
- 3:52:17And, you know, That that's what we have here.
- 3:52:21I mean there's been no real, real serious action place to
- 3:52:25pawn him. So now we have this behavior and
- 3:52:29as far as like the son who's always too busy to help.
- 3:52:32I think that's an excuse. I think the sun probably just
- 3:52:36said, I'm out. And that's the thing too.
- 3:52:38And I think that right and Ashley, I know we've talked
- 3:52:43about this throughout this Saga, all of us in the chat, um, about
- 3:52:47the about his mental state and maybe, you know orders Hoarders,
- 3:52:54have obviously have a mental statement.
- 3:52:56It's let's, I mean, let's be real about it.
- 3:52:58There's obviously some mental health issue there because they
- 3:53:02don't want to let go of stuff, and they want to keep things.
- 3:53:04And there's, there's something there.
- 3:53:06And he just can't, I mean, to me, I just say, hey, take a
- 3:53:10bulldozer on earth, mover, whatever?
- 3:53:12Clear. All this crap out and let's get
- 3:53:14it done. um, And but he cannot do that for whatever.
- 3:53:20He's gotten rid of a few things I guess it is.
- 3:53:23You know judgment. Now he's a little better and I
- 3:53:26you know I guess it is I guess but it kind of looks like all
- 3:53:30they've really done is kind of move the the junk around.
- 3:53:34That's well, yeah, cuz you got rid of a few things and then
- 3:53:36brought in other stuff cuz, like, wood for cabinets or
- 3:53:39something like that. So, you know, that's the thing
- 3:53:43I, I think and I do, look, I do believe this guy, there's no way
- 3:53:47he can do it by himself. He is too old and it's too much
- 3:53:51crap. We've looked at the pictures
- 3:53:53online over the years. How there's, I mean, Dan you and
- 3:53:57me and we could take everybody in our chat and like 10 more
- 3:54:01people, and I don't think we could all do that.
- 3:54:04Right? If you give us a month.
- 3:54:06Yeah, but yeah a month. Yeah, maybe I mean maybe and you
- 3:54:10know again that assumes that the weather would cooperate because
- 3:54:13then there would be weather issues because we'd have to be
- 3:54:16out there every single day. That bulldozer we just need to
- 3:54:20have a somebody to operate that bulldozer and just Like take it
- 3:54:26all down but and then a big truck to drive all this stuff to
- 3:54:29the dump. The landfill, honestly, the the
- 3:54:33play, there might just be to turn that particular plot into a
- 3:54:36landfill. I bulldoze it and folded in on
- 3:54:40itself. Maybe actually.
- 3:54:43Yeah so I mean this is you know but this is why we watch TCF,
- 3:54:52it's stuff like this. It's um it's hoarder man.
- 3:54:57It is. It's the Louisiana Board of
- 3:54:59Parolees. It is Well, it's all the other
- 3:55:03find viewers. Like you, who call in to chat?
- 3:55:06Yes. Yes.
- 3:55:10No, this is I you know what Dan this is been it's been fun.
- 3:55:13I tell you, I will say that this these You know, this expanded
- 3:55:20format. This is turning into quite the
- 3:55:22quite the fun time. So yeah, when the equipment
- 3:55:26works, it's great well, and then right afterwards because if
- 3:55:32something's I am one of those things ones that if I get worked
- 3:55:37up over something, the next day, I've milled out dramatically and
- 3:55:42then this way, if you see something, you can react right
- 3:55:46away. So TCF react, we call it.
- 3:55:50Sorry. Yeah, well, I'm not married to
- 3:55:53the overtime moniker we can we can modify if needed.
- 3:55:57But no, I mean that's the vision of the fourth hours to just be
- 3:56:01able to chat about what we saw. And some things that we might
- 3:56:03not normally be able to chat about and do something a little
- 3:56:07bit different from just sitting there and watching Court having
- 3:56:09some kind of reaction and discussion as good too.
- 3:56:12And one other thing Dan you know, we saw a And I don't know
- 3:56:17what it is about McNally's Court in particular where we see this
- 3:56:20stuff, but we saw another pretty interesting traffic case I
- 3:56:24don't. Yeah, I have.
- 3:56:26Yeah, so Woodhaven drift. It was called in the And this is
- 3:56:35an, this is another case where a guy is fighting a traffic
- 3:56:40ticket. And for what reason, I mean this
- 3:56:46he clearly he appeared to be in the wrong.
- 3:56:48I mean, this is one the other one that was judgmental that had
- 3:56:52the other traffic one that we watched that was really kind of
- 3:56:55crazy. But yeah.
- 3:56:56Um, judge, McNally has these two that sometimes get into a full
- 3:57:00hearings? And, and we were going down that
- 3:57:03road today, pun intended, I suppose.
- 3:57:05And and, and this one, I, I guess I just don't understand
- 3:57:10why people would fight something where they clearly know they're
- 3:57:14in the wrong. But he wants to, he wants to
- 3:57:17take it all the way to like a trial.
- 3:57:20And does he know he's in the wrong?
- 3:57:25People will convince themselves of anything Michael, I guess.
- 3:57:29So I mean, I guess you're right. No, I mean penalty.
- 3:57:32Really. I'm not or maybe it's it's just
- 3:57:35like it. I don't know.
- 3:57:37It's that or maybe they think they can talk themselves or they
- 3:57:40can, they can argue it to where they can argue themselves out of
- 3:57:45it, or maybe the officer won't show up next time or they, they
- 3:57:50have maybe a bunch of agendas, maybe they really do think
- 3:57:53they're in the right and no matter how you show it to them,
- 3:57:56they will always can, they are convinced and in their own head,
- 3:58:00they really think they're right? I mean, maybe that's what's
- 3:58:04going on here. I know that's what happened with
- 3:58:06judge Middleton, that person and we kind of were on that.
- 3:58:11But for a video that the defense actually offered up Judge
- 3:58:17Middleton was going to probably rule for the defendant and
- 3:58:21dismiss the the case. Um and so that's you know, but
- 3:58:26this time you know is much more clear, the officer was there and
- 3:58:30and the testimony was quite clear.
- 3:58:34But we see this. With these traffic cases, man,
- 3:58:37to and listen, I don't drive. So, maybe, maybe my perspectives
- 3:58:41different, but I don't know if I got a ticket for running a light
- 3:58:44or something. I'd probably just accepted, I
- 3:58:48mean, I don't know. yeah, I mean, there are cases for
- 3:58:53breaking the law where I might Especially traffic law where I
- 3:58:58might fight it. Like for example, if I was
- 3:59:01rushing a loved one to the hospital and I Came Upon a red
- 3:59:05light and there was no opposing traffic.
- 3:59:07I'm running that light right? And go ahead and click right?
- 3:59:10He will fight it yes, but But, you know, I mean, if you're if
- 3:59:14you're in the wrong, you're in the wrong, just accept it and
- 3:59:17move on. Yeah, he was Speedy Gonzales and
- 3:59:20he wanted to get around somebody and that that that's that's the
- 3:59:25end of it that he gave he went around when he wasn't supposed
- 3:59:29to and that that's that I don't think there's anything to argue
- 3:59:33there. Unfortunately, professional
- 3:59:36driver. What caught me to is when when
- 3:59:41we were first listening to him, the first time through, what was
- 3:59:43it? Three different segments we had
- 3:59:45on him but the first time I was looking at other feeds so I was
- 3:59:49just listening and it wasn't until the second time that I
- 3:59:53realized this was not a young guy.
- 3:59:56Right. I thought he was a younger guy
- 3:59:58and then I looked like, oh, you definitely should know better.
- 4:00:02Right. I wasn't really, I was also like
- 4:00:04working on stuff here. I was doing, you know, whether
- 4:00:06and putting stuff together and so I I just listened a lot of
- 4:00:10times, that's what I'm doing here.
- 4:00:11I don't there's sometimes I just can't watch because I'm I'm too
- 4:00:14busy on another screen but then I did tab over.
- 4:00:18I'm like, wait a minute. This dude, this is no spring
- 4:00:21chicken. Uh so definitely changed my
- 4:00:25perspective on that and he was just stubborn and steadfast man.
- 4:00:29And and I was I was a little shocked by that.
- 4:00:33I really, was it reminds me of people in Ford trucks.
- 4:00:37I don't know. I have this, that's very
- 4:00:41specific. But it's like a ego thing and my
- 4:00:48opinion. Because they always think they
- 4:00:52are ruler of the road and they act like it and I feel like this
- 4:00:59guy is one of those guys even though he wasn't driving a
- 4:01:02truck, but he kind of reminded me of somebody that would drive
- 4:01:07a truck and just try and You know, they think they can do
- 4:01:10whatever they want to do. He did say he was a professional
- 4:01:14driver actually, you know. Yeah, that's fast and furious
- 4:01:18conversion on a Ford Focus. He reminds me of people that
- 4:01:25drive an 85 Firebird but read like Pontiac Fiero.
- 4:01:33Oh yeah, a Cutlass Supreme. Right.
- 4:01:42He wasn't driving a truck thing. I'm thankful too.
