• 0:00
  Good morning everybody. Happy Tuesday.
• 0:01
  Welcome to TCF Live. My name is Dan Soul.
• 0:03
  I will be your guide through the next three hour journey through
• 0:06
  Courtlandia. Today we'll start with Judge
• 0:08
  McNally up in Michigan. Right.
• 0:10
  It's a civil infraction and then they're going to dismiss the
• 0:13
  misdemeanor. Then that's thrown out for you.
• 0:15
  OK, fair enough. Is that what you want to do to
• 0:19
  that Chuck under section 32448738?
• 0:23
  How do you plead to that charge? Fishing with more.
• 0:26
  Two more. More than two lines in the
• 0:27
  water. Responsible.
• 0:29
  It's a responsible plea. OK.
• 0:32
  I'll accept your plea. You have a license down.
• 0:35
  Yeah. Can I see it?
• 0:36
  Yep. I'll believe.
• 0:38
  I'll believe you. That's all right.
• 0:42
  I'll believe you, $140. OK.
• 0:45
  Go right down the hall. Just make sure you have a
• 0:47
  license from now on. Lee, please have a good day. 140
• 0:50
  is your total. Thank you.
• 0:52
  I hope they're reminding them down there to fill out the
• 0:54
  surveys. Lisa, would you call down to the
• 0:59
  desk and make sure they're inviting people to do that?
• 1:02
  So we have some sample sizes. How you doing this?
• 1:06
  Good. We'll have to talk in a second.
• 1:09
  Do you have a file ready for me? Is that the sentencing?
• 1:12
  Madrigal. OK, give me one second here,
• 1:15
  please. Alexander Madrigal file
• 1:19
  #26G3O674 OB that's the impaired charge.
• 1:25
  And I'm also calling the A file which was a plea to impeding
• 1:29
  your, your appearance, Sir, your name.
• 1:35
  All right. Your client plugged the impeding
• 1:37
  traffic on the civil infraction. The speeding was dismissed.
• 1:40
  He also pled to operating well impaired with the OWI to be
• 1:44
  dismissed. He was referred for a screening
• 1:47
  and assessment. Have you had a chance to review
• 1:48
  the report with him and are there any material additions,
• 1:51
  corrections or deletions, anything that you would like to
• 1:56
  say? That's the matter for this type
• 1:58
  of matters. Unremarkable.
• 2:00
  Mr. Raja has the. Prior criminal records, 34 years
• 2:03
  old, he's deployed the test results were .11 from people and
• 2:09
  from this type of we would have support considered response and
• 2:13
  cost. No probation.
• 2:15
  That's that's worth it. I'm Slater is out on this right
• 2:18
  now. They're awful nice.
• 2:20
  I knew you were going to ask that on this one and I, I can't
• 2:23
  let my fundamental differences get in the way.
• 2:26
  So I don't disagree with you. Anything you'd like to say Sir?
• 2:30
  I mean, he's going to do some community service and that type
• 2:33
  of thing, but I'm not going to place you on probation.
• 2:35
  Anything you'd like to say, Sir? No, thank you.
• 2:39
  It's here. I don't agree with it, but you
• 2:42
  know what? It doesn't matter what I think.
• 2:46
  All right, Why don't you attend the Victims Impact Panel?
• 2:49
  That is one night put on by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers.
• 2:51
  OK, I'm going to order three days jail.
• 2:54
  Credit one, serve two. I'll let you serve those by way
• 2:56
  of community service. 16 hours community service.
• 2:59
  He's right. I can't, I cannot find a
• 3:03
  substantial reason, any reason really to place you on probation
• 3:07
  in light of that legislation. So I'm going to go 300 fines for
• 3:10
  50 costs, 75 victims rights fee, $50 justice assessment.
• 3:15
  So fines and costs are 875, screen fee is 64935.
• 3:21
  You have attorney fees of 40 and go right on the 975 and then
• 3:26
  $166.57 on the cost of the cover.
• 3:32
  So that should be 1075 eleven 35114157 on that.
• 3:39
  Lisa, will you double check that?
• 3:40
  So you're going to pay 114157, you're going to do 2 days of
• 3:44
  community service, which I'm going to give you until June
• 3:46
  20th to pay. And one day on the victim's,
• 3:50
  you're going to go to one night victim's impact panel and I'm
• 3:53
  going to order $150 on the MPD. So you have a total here of 150
• 4:02
  of 129157. Can you pay that today or do you
• 4:06
  need time? How much do you?
• 4:07
  Have today, I mean. Mother's house being.
• 4:09
  Paid, but I'm not sure. Well, can you pay the impeding
• 4:12
  today? That's 150.
• 4:14
  Yes, Sir. Can you pay anything more than
• 4:16
  that today? Yes, Sir.
• 4:17
  How much more? Exactly all of it.
• 4:20
  You sure? Yes.

  OK, your mom's going to help you out.
• 4:23
  All right? You have 21 days to appeal, 14
• 4:26
  days to apply for a court appointed lawyer.
• 4:28
  I wish you well. You're still going to meet with
• 4:29
  probation. They're going to set you up,
• 4:30
  help you set up the victims back then OK, and tell you where you
• 4:34
  can do your community service. I wish you well.
• 4:36
  Good luck. No more, though.
• 4:38
  Don't. They're never going to be this
• 4:40
  easy again. You understand what I'm saying?
• 4:42

  Yeah, ask them to come in. Charles Ellis Bonds the 3rd
• 13:08
  26M658175 Your name? Charles Bonds.
• 13:14
  What's the second charge here, Lisa?
• 13:16
  They got? I've never seen this, I don't
• 13:19
  think no proof of registration. Civil infraction, obviously I've
• 13:23
  seen that, but they got the fug checked.
• 13:27
  I've never seen the fug checked. I don't even know what it means.
• 13:30
  You're. Charged.
• 13:31
  We saw that when it came in and we weren't sure either.
• 13:34
  It looks like you tried to charge them, but I it.
• 13:36
  Only came through as one count. Yeah, I don't know.
• 13:41
  Anyway, you're charged with unlawful use of a plate and you
• 13:45
  have the right to a lawyer if you want 1.
• 13:47
  Otherwise, I can arraign you and send you to the prosecutor.
• 13:49
  It's up to you. I'm sorry.
• 13:52
  No, I'm trying to say. All right.
• 13:53
  So on April 19th at 26 at 9:17 PM, it is alleged that you did
• 13:58
  operate a motor vehicle on I-75 southbound or civilian
• 14:01
  Brownstown and that you unlawfully use the plate.
• 14:05
  That is a misdemeanor punishable by up to $100 fines, 90 days
• 14:08
  jail costs are all those. Do you understand that?
• 14:11
  And did you sign, read and understand the advice of rights?
• 14:14
  When you plead guilty, you'll be giving up all those rights and
• 14:17
  there will be no hearing your trial.
• 14:18
  Do you understand that? Yes, Sir.
• 14:20
  You still wish to waive your right to a lawyer?
• 14:22
  Yes, Sir. Not guilty pleas honored, $100
• 14:25
  personal bond. You cannot leave the state
• 14:27
  without the consent of the court or violate a law.
• 14:29
  You must appear in court as directed.
• 14:31
  I think he intended to charge you with the second one, but he
• 14:34
  checked FUG and I don't have a clue what that means.
• 14:37
  I don't think it means fugitive. Go, go outside in the hallway
• 14:42
  and he's going to the prosecutor's going to call you
• 14:44
  in. OK.
• 14:45
  And then you can talk to her. All right.
• 14:47
  Thanks. And then either way, you're
• 14:49
  coming back in front of them. All right, friends.
• 14:51
  All in all, it's a slower morning in Judge Mcnally's
• 14:53
  court. Let's change it up a little bit.
• 14:56
  Let's go to Newaygo County, other side of the state, and see

• 15:25
  We do not. Anything that you'd like to say
• 15:27
  on her behalf? We ask the court to follow the
• 15:30
  recommendation contained in the file.
• 15:32
  Alternatively, whether the court would consider giving her credit
• 15:37
  from time, Sir. All right.

  And then miss. Harris, have you had the?
• 15:42
  Opportunity to read the reporting discussed with Mr.

  It was the weather. I believe it.
• 16:46
  Was really, really bad. OK, So you don't know what we're
• 16:49
  going to do with the update? No, all right.
• 16:52
  All right, Miss Walbert, any additions, corrections and
• 16:54
  challenges, anything that you want the court to consider?
• 16:57
  Nothing. Additional.
• 17:01
  All right, the court recognizes that the advisory guidelines
• 17:03
  would suggest a sentence between 0 and 11 months.
• 17:05
  The courts can exercise my discretion sentence consistent
• 17:07
  with the advisory guidelines, consistent with complete
• 17:09
  reviewing. In this case it would be the
• 17:11
  sentence of the court. This defendants served 82 days
• 17:13
  in jail with 82 days credit. There's a 60. $8 state cost
• 17:16
  assessment $130.00 crime victims rights fund fee.
• 17:20
  Was being placed. Around probation for two years
• 17:22
  during the terms and conditions of your probation, there's a
• 17:25
  $30.00 per month probation over safety for regular probation,
• 17:28
  $60.00 a month for electronic monitoring.
• 17:31
  There is also a $60.00 DNA fee, so here is that would be
• 17:39
  addressed on probation or those appearing as highly probable
• 17:43
  under the core Compass 8 scale. And it looks like you've got a
• 17:47
  lot to work on, housing stability, some work skills,
• 17:53
  substance abuse, how to better use your time.
• 17:58
  You kind of need a full a full revamp, right, Don't you?
• 18:01
  Yeah. I've been homeless.
• 18:03
  For five years and my dad after my dad passed away, my mom.
• 18:07
  This is the first. Time my mom's offering offering
• 18:10
  me. To come home and help me.
• 18:11
  Sounds like you burned some bridges there about 5 years ago
• 18:16
  now. When you say that you've been
• 18:18
  homeless, I mean is it you're sleeping under bridges or you're
• 18:21
  couch surfing or sleeping in a car couch?
• 18:23
  Surfing house to house whoever people let me stay.
• 18:27
  Until they get tired of it, yeah.
• 18:29
  Pretty. Much.
• 18:32
  What do you think your chances are of staying off of that?
• 18:35
  Really good with my, my mom's, you know, my mom's help and.
• 18:42
  She goes to the. Church.
• 18:43
  My grandma's a preacher and they want me to start going to church
• 18:46
  every Sunday and being back with my kids.
• 18:48
  That's a big thing because I lost custody of my kids.
• 18:50
  When my dad died. When I started doing drugs.
• 18:53
  OK, sounds like you have to deal with that grief, loss, whatever,
• 18:58
  and whatever guilt or whatever you feel with the kids before
• 19:02
  you can kind of really fully tackle the substance abuse
• 19:06
  issues. Think you can do?
• 19:08
  That. Yeah, and my mom said she'll
• 19:10
  make sure she can help me with the outpatient rehab and getting
• 19:15
  back ignores and stuff. OK, all right.
• 19:20
  The court will give you 90 days from your release from jail in
• 19:26
  Mason County to pay your financial.
• 19:29
  Assessments. OK.
• 19:31
  That is. Off today, it's going to take us
• 19:35
  probably till the afternoon, process the paperwork, and then
• 19:40
  they'll be contacting Mason County and they'll get you
• 19:43
  transported over there and see what happens there.
• 19:45
  All right, that's all. Oh, I'm sorry.
• 19:48
  You do have the right to make applications for your conviction
• 19:50
  sentence if you cannot afford it through the corresponding treaty
• 19:52
  represent you on the appeal. Requests for a lawyer must.
• 19:55
  Be filed with the court. Within 42 days.
• 19:57
  All righty, quick and easy one there in Newaygo County.
• 19:59
  Let's head a little bit South now, but stay in Michigan.
• 20:02
  We'll say. Good morning to Judge Middleton.
• 20:06
  Morning, Sir. This is Mr. Carpenter.
• 20:10
  Mr. Carpenter, why you come in and have a seat right next to
• 20:13
  the Well, why don't you come up to the public?
• 20:16
  We'll do it that way like we're supposed to.
• 20:20
  And we're already off the. Side.
• 20:24
  We're going to start our arraignment docket with Martin
• 20:31
  Lester Carpenter. The file number is 26 683 SM Mr.
• 20:37
  Carpenter is charged with having no insurance.
• 20:40
  We get lots of these. Are you Martin Carpenter?
• 20:44
  Yes, Sir. No insurance is a misdemeanor.
• 20:47
  It's punishable by up to a year in jail.
• 20:50
  I don't think in history of world and you ever got a year in
• 20:53
  jail, but that's the maximum, carries a minimum fine of $200,
• 20:58
  the maximum fine of $500.00. So the lowest fine would be $325
• 21:05
  if it was the cost. And I was asked this fundamental
• 21:08
  question. Do you have insurance now?
• 21:11
  Yes. Do you have proof of it with
• 21:13
  you? Yes, I do.
• 21:14
  All right. Who's your insurance carrier?
• 21:16
  Progressive. That seems to be popular.
• 21:19
  All right, have a seat. We're going to need to contact
• 21:22
  the prosecutor. There's a lesser charge, which
• 21:25
  is a civil infraction, which would carry $100 fine and not be
• 21:30
  a crime. If we can get the prosecutor's
• 21:33
  consent, perhaps we can dismiss this charge and reduce it to a
• 21:38
  civil infraction. So have a seat for a moment.
• 21:41
  We'll see if we can get some help.
• 21:43
  Our whole new configuration, we were all on the same floor.
• 21:48
  Prosecutor's office is at the other end of the hall,
• 21:51
  Prosecutors on two different floors.
• 21:55
  The floor is below us, at least District Court is all on the
• 22:00
  same floor. We've taken all of the third
• 22:02
  floor, every foot of it all. Right.
• 22:07
  Aside for a moment, let's talk to Mr. Peterson.
• 22:12
  Phillip Peterson? Are you Phillip Edward Peterson?
• 22:24
  Yes. This is file number 26697 SM.
• 22:29
  You got charged with domestic assault.
• 22:31
  It's alleged to have occurred in three hours on April 17th.
• 22:35
  Complaining witness is listed by initials, so there must be a
• 22:39
  child. Domestic assault is a
• 22:42
  misdemeanor. It's punishable by up to 93 days
• 22:45
  in jail on a fine up to $500. I see that you're here with your
• 22:49
  lawyer, the esteemed Mr. Ross Truckee.
• 22:54
  Mr. Truckee, would you simply enter a plea of not guilty and
• 22:57
  ask me to set an attorney pretrial?
• 22:59
  Yes, but we would want to be heard on an amendment to the
• 23:01
  bond conditions. I can't address that without the
• 23:04
  prosecutor. And it would simply be to allow
• 23:07
  family therapy to take place between mother, father and the
• 23:12
  complainant. Well, I'd like to hear what the
• 23:15
  prosecutor's opinion is. So.
• 23:17
  I can. Is there a?
• 23:18
  Plea of not guilty. Would you like me to try to find
• 23:21
  a prosecutor? This morning, John.
• 23:23
  Yes, I will. Now our next attorney pretrial
• 23:27
  would be Friday, June 5th, I believe is the date.
• 23:31
  Are you available that day? Yes.
• 23:35
  All right, let's take a look at the conditions here.
• 23:41
  You still live at 500 Maple Street.
• 23:44
  I'm staying at five O 4. All right, just next door.
• 23:48
  Yes, Sir, because of the no contact provision.
• 23:52
  Yes, Sir. I used to cover newspapers in
• 23:55
  that neighborhood. My father lived at 700 Maple St.
• 24:00
  about 80 years ago, give or take.
• 24:04
  I have a picture of my uncle. There was about a 1950 Indian
• 24:09
  motorcycle parked in front of that house on Maple St.
• 24:15
  According to the bond order, you are to not using the alcohol no
• 24:22
  contact with ASA. So that person is in 500 and
• 24:27
  you're in the house next door. Yes, Sir.
• 24:30
  How old? Is that person 16 1/2 Ross?
• 24:35
  I'm willing to hear it, but I don't want to take it up without
• 24:38
  the prosecutor being present. Understood.
• 24:40
  I also need the prosecutor's help on an insurance case, so I
• 24:44
  don't know. Abigail and Lucy, who authorized
• 24:47
  this, might have some knowledge of it.
• 24:50
  Signed by Deborah J Davis. I will see who is on the 3rd
• 24:56
  floor. All right, second floor.
• 25:00
  All right. Mr. Cuellar, would you come
• 25:02
  forward, please Come right up to the.
• 25:09
  Podium, if you would. They ended up sitting there
• 25:12
  because that was a place to set. But it's actually the
• 25:16
  prosecutor's side. Good morning, Mr. Cuellar.
• 25:19
  Good morning, Sir. This distinguished gentleman
• 25:21
  next year is Mr. Keith Stickley. He's the chief public defender.
• 25:25
  But this is file number 26698 SM.
• 25:29
  You're Bosephus Lee Cuellar. Yes, Sir.
• 25:32
  You got charged with domestic assault.
• 25:34
  That's the last case we just had was one of those.
• 25:37
  Domestic assault is a misdemeanor.
• 25:39
  It's punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a fine of up to
• 25:44
  $500. It would prohibit you from using
• 25:47
  or processing firearm. The complainant is your
• 25:51
  girlfriend. I guess we'll call her on this.
• 25:54
  Allegedly occurred in the city of three hours on April 18th.
• 25:58
  I'm sure that Mister Stickley would recommend that you plead
• 26:02
  not guilty. I had appointed attorney to help
• 26:04
  you with this set up for a free trial.
• 26:07
  Is that agreeable with you? Yes, Sir.
• 26:09
  Again, there's probably a no contact provision.
• 26:12
  Where are you staying? The Three Rivers at 7th St.
• 26:16
  Ten. Yes, yes.
• 26:17
  All right. Where is Emily staying?
• 26:21
  Truck and Miller Rd. in Constantin, Centerville.
• 26:23
  That's where you used to live. Yes, Sir, all.
• 26:26
  Right. Plead not guilty, appoint an
• 26:28
  attorney. Senate attorney Pretrial for
• 26:32
  June 5th 2O26 at 8:30 I'm going to have the bailiff take you out
• 26:39
  to the court office. They're going to give you some
• 26:41
  information with your lawyer's name and number on it.
• 26:44
  Some of this you've been through before, so I want you to call
• 26:47
  the lawyer, make an appointment to discuss this with them prior
• 26:51
  to June 5th. You got a little bit of a unpaid
• 26:54
  fine. You got $50.00 left on a long
• 26:58
  another to violate the Motor Vehicle Code.
• 27:00
  I can pay that today. So stop out at the car when you
• 27:03
  check on that too. My goal is to have everybody pay
• 27:07
  all their unpaid fines and costs by the time I retire in
• 27:09
  December, so it'll be $12 million if I can collect it all.
• 27:15
  I'll do what? I can.
• 27:17
  All right, Mr. Clear. I don't know anything that.
• 27:19
  Happened here, but don't get in any more trouble.
• 27:23
  You'll. Call your lawyer and discuss
• 27:25
  this. I'll get the police report,
• 27:27
  prosecutor will get some input from the complainant and you'll
• 27:31
  have your 50 bucks paid and all will be right in the world.
• 27:35
  All right, you're good to. Go.
• 27:39
  All right. Well, let's see if any of our
• 27:40
  other misdemeanors showed up. Jose Morales Garcia, Rebecca
• 27:46
  Heinrich, good morning. I think I need.
• 27:52
  Some water or something. Good morning.
• 28:03
  This is the place. We're going to hit the ground
• 28:06
  running here in a little bit when we get a prosecutor.
• 28:09
  You may be convening back here in the jury or whether you touch
• 28:12
  base with the prosecutor, you know.
• 28:14
  Where they were. We'll have a seat in here.
• 28:18
  When we find one. We'll try to connect you.
• 28:22
  Yes, Everything's a bit disorienting.
• 28:27
  Tim. I'm going to squeeze in Lonnie
• 28:31
  Williams. Not like we don't have a bunch
• 28:33
  to do, but we got a bit of a lull and I've got a bench
• 28:36
  warrant for him. He's a good morning, Deputy
• 28:39
  Keeley. Can I see Lonnie Daniel Williams
• 28:43
  in my courtroom? All right.
• 28:45
  Thanks. Bye.
• 28:48
  All right, Miss Heinrich, you got a ticket for driving without
• 28:52
  a valid operator's license. We get lots and lots of those.
• 28:56
  Might be our most common offense.
• 28:59
  It's a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine
• 29:02
  of up to $100. Does carry 2 points and it goes.
• 29:07
  On your driving record. Oh, OK.
• 29:09
  Thanks. I saw you showing something to
• 29:14
  the public defender. Do you have your license back
• 29:17
  now? She she actually doesn't hear
• 29:19
  honor, but she's in the process of getting a permit.
• 29:21
  I think she's had it before. So we'd ask that you enter a not
• 29:24
  guilty plea. Give her a little bit of time.
• 29:25
  I think she can wrap some stuff up prior to coming back.
• 29:28
  So you're working on getting your permit?
• 29:30
  Yeah, we were hit with a tornado and I just didn't go and finish.
• 29:35
  You live on River Drive, you get it both way.
• 29:38
  You get flooded and you get tornadoed when you live.
• 29:41
  On River Drive and surprisingly we really didn't have any damage
• 29:44
  besides a broken window and my husband almost getting sucked
• 29:47
  out the door. But that was.
• 29:50
  Better everybody else got flooded.
• 29:51
  You're working on permit. What does that mean?
• 29:55
  Have you got an appointment with SOS?
• 29:57
  Yeah, I got to go to the SOS office and do it.
• 29:59
  I also taken I took in a juvenile do.
• 30:02
  You have an appointment or you have to set one up.
• 30:05
  I have to set one up again because it was the permit and
• 30:09
  then. So you had a permit and it
• 30:11
  expired. OK, that's common too.
• 30:17
  I call this getting on the driving suspended and merry go
• 30:20
  round. You get on it and you can't get
• 30:23
  off of it. If you get convicted of this, no
• 30:26
  operator's license, it'll go on your driving record and they'll
• 30:30
  prove you from getting your license for probably 180 days.
• 30:35
  So what Mr. Stickley proposed is that I'm sure Mr. George, the
• 30:38
  city attorney, will agree. We adjourn this about a month
• 30:42
  and see if you can come in and at least have your permit.
• 30:46
  There's a charge that Mister George could amend this to that
• 30:50
  would not go on your driving record and wouldn't affect your
• 30:53
  ability to get your driver's license.
• 30:56
  So how about if we adjourn it, I'm going to adjourn it to a day
• 31:02
  that I don't have pre exam conferences, which would be even
• 31:07
  numbered Tuesday. So let's adjourn this to June
• 31:13
  2nd. It gives you about 28 days to
• 31:16
  get your permit. Bring it with you.
• 31:23
  I got to get a better system. All right, let's give you 4
• 31:30
  weeks. Would you give her a copy of
• 31:31
  this, please? I'll.
• 31:32
  Send Debbie. Could you please give her a copy
• 31:36
  of this? All right, Miss Henrik, you're
• 31:38
  good to. Go.
• 31:39
  Thank you. Have a great day.
• 31:44
  All right, once again, everybody, good morning, TCF
• 31:46
  live on a Cinco de Mayo. Good to have you all here.
• 31:50
  Let's get out of Michigan. Let's go down to Florida, say
• 31:54
  good morning to Wade Mercer. You have two issues.
• 31:57
  You've got a violation of state probations where you have no
• 32:00
  bond. That's signed by the Circuit
• 32:02
  Judge. This one's signed by Judge
• 32:04
  Garcia. You got no bond in that case.
• 32:06
  We're going to come back to that in just a moment.
• 32:08
  You in addition to that, you have one charge of petty theft.
• 32:11
  There is probable cause for the to the petty theft.
• 32:13
  I'm appointing the publishers office represent you in the
• 32:15
  petty theft. Mr. Pittman, listen to Mr.
• 32:17
  McDaniel and we'll see where we're going to go in the petty
• 32:19
  theft and then we'll deal with the violation of probation.
• 32:20
  Mr. McDaniel. No honor I spoke to.
• 32:22
  Mr. Pittman, he said. If you have no contest or
• 32:24
  charges listed, you understanding he'll be sent 60
• 32:26
  days in jail one day jail credit, judicate guilty.
• 32:29
  He just waived his right to jury trial and call witnesses.
• 32:32
  This plea can't be used against him at the VOP ever.
• 32:35
  The incident can be used. Is that a resolve this?
• 32:38
  Case, thank you. Mr. Mitchell's had agreeable
• 32:41
  with the state. It is your honor.
• 32:44
  Thank you. And Mr. Pittman, did you hear
• 32:45
  that agreement? Yes, Sir.
• 32:48
  Mr. Pittman, do you have any questions about that agreement
• 32:50
  on the misdemeanor? No, Sir.
• 32:52
  And is that the plea you would like to enter?
• 32:54
  Thank you. Yes, Sir.
• 32:55
  Mr. Pittman, I'm going to accept your plea of no contest to the
• 32:58
  charge of petty theft in case number.
• 33:02
  There's no case number on there, 25593 MMM Thank you, Mr.
• 33:06
  McDaniel. I'm going to adjudicate you
• 33:08
  guilty of that misdemeanor offense.
• 33:10
  I'm going to sentence you to 60 days in jail, give you credit
• 33:12
  for the time that you've already served, which is one day.
• 33:16
  Mr. Pittman. 370 court costs and fines.
• 33:18
  And there's a condition that the plea will not be used against
• 33:21
  you in the violation of probation proceedings.
• 33:22
  That does not prevent the state from using the incident itself.
• 33:28
  So that takes care of that case in the violation of probation.
• 33:30
  Yes, ma'am. Is there an agreement for $50
• 33:37
  civil judgment on the restitution, Mr. McDaniel?
• 33:41
  Yes, Mr. Mitchell. Yes, Your Honor, so.
• 33:45
  Mr. Pittman, there's a $50 civil judgment on the restitution.
• 33:48
  Does that change your mind about wanting to enter the plea?
• 33:50
  No, Sir. OK, so Mr. Pittman, that case is
• 33:53
  over with. But while you're serving that
• 33:55
  sentence, we're going to go ahead and get the VOP moving.
• 33:57
  So in the violation of probation, I'm going to appoint
• 33:59
  you a lawyer if you want one. Would you like to have an
• 34:01
  attorney appointed represent you in the VOP?
• 34:03
  Yes, Sir. I'm going to appoint the Public
• 34:05
  Centers office to represent you, Mr. Pittman, in the violation of
• 34:08
  probation. Now listen to Mr. McDaniel and
• 34:10
  then I'll see if you have any questions in just a minute.
• 34:13
  Are we going to plead not guilty?
• 34:14
  Yes, it's in June 4th, pretrial docket and advising the attorney
• 34:17
  to come visit him part of that hearing June 4th, Mr. Mr.
• 34:21
  Mitchell, anything. No, Your Honor.
• 34:24
  So Mr. Pittman, the attorney will see you before your court
• 34:26
  date. You have any questions, Sir?
• 34:28
  Yes, Sir, I got the question. I got one question.
• 34:31
  Do do that. Do.
• 34:34
  What's my time? Running from the day that they
• 34:36
  put the. Hold on for the VOP, because I
• 34:40
  just got from Washington County yesterday.
• 34:42
  Were you arrested only on this? No, No, Sir, I was arrested.
• 34:47
  I was. Arrested.
• 34:48
  If you have local charges, it's up to the judge.
• 34:51
  You don't have the right to get credit for that time.
• 34:54
  Some judges may give you credit. The state and your attorney and
• 34:57
  yourself may reach an agreement to give you credit for that
• 34:59
  time. So if you're arrested solely on
• 35:01
  this VOP and this warrant, yes, you will get credit for it.
• 35:05
  But if you're arrested on other charges also, no, you don't have
• 35:08
  the right to it. It's it's just only if the judge
• 35:10
  agrees and everybody's on the same page.
• 35:12
  So what happened to the VOP? I don't know.
• 35:14
  But what you've got in this case is a one day credit.
• 35:16
  But in our case, you certainly may get the trustee program.
• 35:19
  I hope you do and get you some extra game time and and to put
• 35:22
  this all behind you. And while you when you get
• 35:24
  through with this, you may have the VOP resolved.
• 35:25
  I don't mind. OK.
• 35:27
  OK. All right.
• 35:29
  Wish you the best, Mr. Pittman. All right.
• 35:31
  Sir. We have Kenneth Gilford next.
• 35:36
  Good morning, them. Mr. Gilford, Good morning.
• 35:38
  Mr. Gilford, you here for first appearance.
• 35:40
  You've been accused of one kind of aggravated battery.
• 35:42
  Mr. Gilford. There is probable cause in the
• 35:44
  complaint. I've also looked at your
• 35:45
  criminal history. I think you're entitled to a
• 35:47
  bond, Mr. Gilford, as far as I can tell.
• 35:49
  Let me listen to the attorneys and then we'll make a final
• 35:52
  decision on on your bond. Mr. McDaniel, anything on behalf
• 35:55
  of Mr. Gilford. There you go.
• 35:57
  And Mr. Mitchell? No, Your Honor.
• 36:00
  Mr. Gilford, I'm going to set you a $10,000 bond, cash or
• 36:03
  surety. At least you can go through a
• 36:04
  bondsman. You'll get a chance to use the
• 36:06
  phone, Sir, in a few minutes to post the bond.
• 36:08
  Mr. Gilford, I'm also going to have a condition of no contact
• 36:12
  with alleged victim. I don't want your situation to
• 36:14
  get any worse and no contact with that alleged victim while
• 36:17
  the case is pending. And I'll give you a chance to
• 36:19
  ask questions in just a second. Lastly, we're going to give you
• 36:22
  a notice for your court date for June the 2nd, June the 2nd at
• 36:28
  8:30. The jail will give you that
• 36:30
  notice in just a minute. Mr. Gilford.
• 36:32
  Mr. Gilford, do you have any questions?
• 36:34
  No, Sir, I. I said that, Mister Wayne, I
• 36:37
  don't know you. Well, hopefully you'll Mr.
• 36:40
  Hopefully you'll get you'll get these phone in a few minutes.
• 36:41
  Hopefully you post the bond and get out of there.
• 36:43
  Y'all just stay away from each other while this mess is
• 36:45
  pending, OK? Hey, it it no problem, Sir.
• 36:47
  It wasn't me. So I I know what you're saying,
• 36:50
  Sir, but it wasn't me. Have a good have a good day, Mr.
• 36:52
  Gilford. All right.
• 36:53
  Mr. Sherry Carroll. Yes, Sir.
• 36:59
  Miss Carroll. Good morning.
• 37:00
  Miss Carroll. You have an out of county
• 37:02
  warrant in Calhoun County. I went and looked on the system
• 37:06
  this morning to see if there was a bond on that warrant and the
• 37:10
  telecom doesn't tell us, but the warrant itself does.
• 37:12
  There is no bond on it. You're accused of violating your
• 37:15
  probation there. There's no bond on the warrant.
• 37:17
  So what that means, ma'am, is you'll be held for Calhoun
• 37:19
  County. You'll get over there in the
• 37:21
  next couple of working days. You'll go to another first
• 37:23
  appearance, but the warrant right now has no bond on it.
• 37:26
  You have any questions, Miss Carroll?
• 37:28
  Yes, Sir. All right, man, wish you the
• 37:30
  best Sexual Mr. Tyler. David Tyler.
• 37:35
  Good morning, Sir. Good morning, Miss Tyler.
• 37:37
  This is a charge I don't know I've ever seen.
• 37:39
  I had to read the statute. It's sexual cyber harassment.
• 37:43
  I think it's a pretty new statute in Florida.
• 37:46
  I read the complaint. There is probable cause, but I'm
• 37:48
  not sure that that the officer has it correct in the degree of
• 37:52
  the crime. Mr. Mitchell, any input on that?
• 37:56
  What degree is it listed? I apologize if I haven't.
• 37:59
  He he checks the felony box, but looks to me like your first
• 38:03
  offense is a misdemeanor unless it meets certain felony criteria
• 38:08
  where you're trying to get money out of pecuniary gains, what the
• 38:11
  statute says. So I think your first offense is
• 38:13
  a misdemeanor unless it meets certain enhancing conditions
• 38:17
  which aren't alleged. That's what I no to be, at least
• 38:21
  when it comes to cyber harassment in that situation.
• 38:24
  I think this is a first degree misdemeanor.
• 38:26
  We can kind of work out the kinks later.
• 38:29
  If we need to transfer it up, we can.
• 38:31
  We have no objection just to giving it like a misdemeanor
• 38:33
  date and a bond. Mr. McDaniel yeah, I don't want
• 38:40
  to take this prosecution side on this, but yeah, I don't.
• 38:44
  I thought it was based. This is my recollection.
• 38:46
  I thought it was based on whether it was someone was
• 38:48
  identified be identified within the videos and the stuff.
• 38:54
  And I'll also say that the complaint's not clear that that
• 38:57
  is the person is readily visible and identifiable.
• 39:01
  But so I I thought that's what the I thought that's what.
• 39:05
  The issue was. Yeah.
• 39:07
  OK. So the the statute says except
• 39:11
  as providing subsection B personally violates this section
• 39:15
  for purpose of pecuniary or financial gain commits A felony
• 39:18
  to the third degree where I would take that to be I'm going
• 39:21
  to send this video to somebody unless you pay me.
• 39:23
  And then above that it says except for that it's a
• 39:27
  misdemeanor of the first degree. There is a paragraph about you
• 39:31
  have to be able to identify the person from the video.
• 39:34
  And so it's an unusual it's an unusual allegation trying to see
• 39:41
  if they're specifically says that in here.
• 39:43
  Mr. Mcdaniel's point and we're going to just ask for a
• 39:46
  conditional release. I don't think he has any
• 39:47
  criminal history and 30 years and you know, so the only thing
• 39:55
  I didn't mean to interrupt you, Mr. McDaniel, go ahead.
• 39:58
  Yeah, we're just going to ask for conditional release no
• 40:00
  matter what mistake can figured out what they're going to do
• 40:02
  with it. I guess the only thing I say is
• 40:06
  a 1980 DUI in Escambia County. That's a non factor.
• 40:10
  For bond purposes that's what's that over 40 years ago 1981 AG
• 40:16
  Battery that Escambia County that's almost over 40 years ago
• 40:20
  and that's it and discharge. So I'm going to treat it as a
• 40:23
  misdemeanor for bond purposes because I think this is a
• 40:26
  misdemeanor charge. Now Mr. Tyler the clerk's office
• 40:29
  has to set it up as a felony I believe so don't let me ask this
• 40:32
  question. He checks felony with the
• 40:34
  statute number he cites here. She they don't cite the specific
• 40:40
  subsection. They don't cite the right
• 40:42
  subsection at all. So you can't go by the statute
• 40:46
  number. So do you go by felony the
• 40:48
  clerk's office going to go by felony where you check that or
• 40:50
  what? He's he's got the right, he's
• 40:53
  got a subsection, but the subsection he sites isn't the
• 40:56
  one that tells what's a felony misdemeanor.
• 40:58
  My question whether you have a different complaint than I have
• 41:00
  out here because mine has fully Section B and it's Yeah, no, the
• 41:05
  Section B says this. Section B says it is becoming a
• 41:09
  common practice for persons to publish the sexually explicit
• 41:12
  image of another to Internet websites.
• 41:14
  It goes on to explain it. Section B doesn't tell you which
• 41:17
  degree crime it is. It should have cited.
• 41:20
  You should have cited section 3B or 3A, not 1A or 1B anyway.
• 41:35
  Yeah, thank you, Ryan. Yes.
• 41:36
  It's going to be a misdemeanor. So he's going to have to amend
• 41:38
  this complaint. Mr. Mitchell, I don't see any
• 41:39
  way around it because we can't. The clerk can't tell from the
• 41:42
  complaint. It's just like grand.
• 41:44
  It's like theft. The theft statute has one
• 41:46
  section that's misdemeanor, one section third degree felony, and
• 41:49
  see if we got some second degree felonies.
• 41:50
  And if you just put a 12 point O 14, there's no way the clerk's
• 41:53
  office can know which specific type of theft they want to
• 41:58
  charge with. This is the same way.
• 42:00
  So Mr. Tyler, I don't know. I'm not going to give you a
• 42:02
  court date because I don't know which court date to give you
• 42:05
  because it's the complaints not not completed completely
• 42:07
  accurately. I'm going to treat it for bond,
• 42:09
  for misdemeanor purposes, for bond.
• 42:11
  And based on your criminal history, I'm going to let you
• 42:13
  pick between a bond and a conditional release.
• 42:15
  If you want to post the bond, the bonds can be $2500.
• 42:18
  If you want to accept the conditional release, I'm going
• 42:19
  to offer your conditional release for the reasons I've
• 42:21
  said and you will have a condition, no contact with
• 42:24
  alleged victim either way. Mr. Tyler, do you prefer the
• 42:26
  bond or the conditional release or do you have questions?
• 42:31
  I think you're going to bond Young.
• 42:33
  You're buying $2500 cash or surety, Mr. Tyler, with that
• 42:37
  condition I mentioned no contact, Sir, and you'll get to
• 42:39
  use the phone in a few minutes. I'm not going to give you a
• 42:41
  court date because of the uncertainty.
• 42:43
  So Mr. Tyler, just make sure the clerk has your address, which
• 42:46
  right now is at 3rd Ave. address, so that that way you'll
• 42:49
  get your notice when they do send it out.
• 42:50
  OK, Have a good day, Sir. Bye.
• 42:54
  All right, friends, let me just hit pause here for a minute.
• 42:56
  Thank you to Austin for bringing attention to me.
• 43:00
  Florida Statute 784, point O 49. I took that statute, which is
• 43:05
  long and obviously legally wordy, and fed it into my my
• 43:11
  favorite AI friend, Grok, Super grok to be exact.
• 43:16
  And it did super things and it summarized it as this.
• 43:21
  This is the Florida revenge porn sexual cyber harassment law.
• 43:26
  You commit sexual cyber harassment.
• 43:29
  If all of these are true 1 You willfully or maliciously publish
• 43:35
  the image to a website or send disseminated electronically to
• 43:38
  someone else. So it goes on a website or even
• 43:40
  texting it to somebody. The image is sexually explicit.
• 43:46
  The image contains or conveys the person's personal
• 43:50
  identification information such as name, address, phone number,
• 43:53
  e-mail, Social Security number, date of birth, or even a unique
• 43:56
  physical description that identifies them. 4 you do it
• 44:00
  without the person's consent, 5 it goes against their reasonable
• 44:06
  expectation of privacy. Six, you do it for no legitimate
• 44:09
  purpose, and seven, you do it with the intent to cause
• 44:13
  substantial emotional distress. So those are all of the things
• 44:18
  that have to be true for the charge to stick.
• 44:23
  First offense, as Judge Mercer said, is actually a misdemeanor
• 44:27
  up to one year in jail and $1000 fine.
• 44:29
  Second or subsequent and elevates to a third degree
• 44:31
  felony with up to five years in prison and a $5000 fine.
• 44:36
  Interestingly enough, the statute also paves way for a
• 44:40
  civil lawsuit with at least $10,000 in damages.
• 44:43
  And of course, because government is in partnership
• 44:48
  with big business, all big Internet companies, phone
• 44:52
  carrier, phone carriers, platforms, etcetera have safe
• 44:56
  harbor from this law. So just to give a little more
• 45:00
  clarity since that was new to Judge Mercer, that's what's
• 45:03
  going on with that. And again, thank you Austin for
• 45:06
  helping out with that. Let's get back to Judge I'm.
• 45:08
  Sorry, Your Honor, that. We have. 2500.
• 45:11
  Mitchell, 2500 OK Jack Savior Livingston Mr. Livingston Good
• 45:19
  morning Mr. Livingston. These are some additional
• 45:21
  charges that have come in now. I've been accused of an
• 45:24
  additional charge of shooting into an occupied vehicle, one
• 45:27
  count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and one count
• 45:30
  of discharging firearm within 1000 feet of another person.
• 45:33
  Those are 2/3 of your felonies. The first and third one are,
• 45:36
  excuse me, two second degree felonies.
• 45:39
  This shooting into an occupied vehicle, discharging A firearm
• 45:41
  are second degree felonies. Arkansas to 3rd degree felony.
• 45:46
  There is probable cause. This is a separate alleged
• 45:48
  incident than the one that you're already in jail for.
• 45:50
  This is a totally separate incident.
• 45:53
  This supposedly occurred on. Let me give you a date.
• 45:56
  This allegedly occurred on April 29th at 4:17 AM.
• 46:01
  This is something that they're saying happened on I-10.
• 46:03
  So I'm going to have to set you a bond in these cases.
• 46:05
  I know you've already got a bond set for an attempted murder, but
• 46:08
  you're entitled to a bond on these charges.
• 46:10
  Also, Mr. McDaniel, anything regarding bond for Mr.
• 46:12
  Livingston? No, you are, Mr. Mitchell.
• 46:17
  Your Honor, I just wanted to bring to your attention also
• 46:20
  that State probation reached out to us yesterday.
• 46:22
  They received a complaint regarding his attempted murder
• 46:26
  charge. So it's very likely that a VOSP
• 46:30
  warrant will be coming in, in the following days for him.
• 46:33
  And 25589 CFI think it's the case number, but what whichever
• 46:39
  1 is currently on probation for. We already have that set to come
• 46:42
  back next Monday, right? Yes, I I just thought it would
• 46:47
  be beneficial for Mr. McDaniel to hear that too.
• 46:49
  Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mitchell.
• 46:51
  So Mr. Livingston, we're going to set the bond at $25,000 each
• 46:55
  on the two second degree felonies.
• 46:57
  The Agathol will have a $10,000 bond.
• 46:59
  Your total bond from today is $60,000.
• 47:01
  Cash or surety with a condition. No contact with alleged victim,
• 47:05
  let's say. 16. And well, that doesn't change
• 47:10
  your that doesn't change your status regarding next week.
• 47:12
  I'm still going to see you next week and we'll see if there's a
• 47:14
  bond on the VOP or if there is AVOP warrant.
• 47:17
  We're also going to give you a notice for all your court dates
• 47:19
  for the one yesterday as well as today for June 2nd at 8:30 that
• 47:24
  we're going to give you a notice and I'll see you next Monday,
• 47:26
  Mr. Livingston, and we'll see if they have a warrant or not.
• 47:29
  Any questions, Sir? Yeah, Yes, Sir.
• 47:32
  I'm being charged with another crime on the same day I just
• 47:37
  got. Accused.
• 47:41
  You'll find out this this is supposed an incident on I-10
• 47:45
  where you allegedly fired a shot into another vehicle on the
• 47:47
  highway. And according to the complaint,
• 47:50
  2 of the people in your car identified you as being the one
• 47:53
  that fired the shot. That's what the complaint
• 47:55
  alleges. OK, have a good day Sir.
• 48:00
  Real esteem. Mr. Dean, Come on up.
• 48:04
  State versus Willis Dean. Mr. Dean, you're here because
• 48:06
  you've been accused of one kind of criminal mischief with
• 48:09
  property damage over $1000. I read the complaint and I
• 48:13
  didn't see in there where the the basis for the property
• 48:17
  damage. Mr. Mitchell, did you have any
• 48:20
  argument or see anything I may have missed, Sir?
• 48:23
  Just a moment, Your Honor. Not at this time, Your Honor.
• 48:31
  Mr. McDaniel, any, any argument, you know, just nothing.
• 48:36
  You said this is a sibling thing going on, I guess and sister.
• 48:40
  So nothing else. So Mr. Dean, I'm going to find
• 48:42
  probable cause for misdemeanor only the officer has to allege
• 48:45
  the basis for the damage. Does he does he get it from the
• 48:48
  alleged victim? They may not have estimates at
• 48:50
  that at that point of an arrest. I get that.
• 48:52
  But somebody has to say I think it's X amount of dollars in
• 48:55
  damage based on this and and officer doesn't never mention
• 48:58
  the damage until the charge point where he says he's
• 49:00
  charging with more than $1000 damage.
• 49:03
  So for it's a misdemeanor for bond purposes, you don't have a
• 49:05
  very good criminal history at all.
• 49:07
  Your bonds $3500 cash or surety. You do have a condition and no
• 49:10
  contact the alleged victim and you've got a this is right now a
• 49:14
  felony case. So right now your court date
• 49:16
  will be June the 2nd at 8:30. But you'll get a chance to use
• 49:19
  the phone Sir, if you post the bond just have no contact the
• 49:22
  alleged victim. Mr. Dean, do you have any
• 49:24
  questions? Yes Sir, I want to.
• 49:27
  I was going to ask if the officer never made a base like
• 49:31
  he never based the amount of damages done to the car, how is
• 49:35
  it still a felony criminal? Mischief instead of a
• 49:38
  misdemeanor. It's not it's I'm finding proper
• 49:41
  cause for a misdemeanor. I set you a misdemeanor bond.
• 49:43
  Oh, OK. OK.
• 49:44
  Thank you all. Yes, Sir.
• 49:46
  Have a good day. You do the same.
• 49:49
  Jaden Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy, Good morning.
• 49:55
  Mr. Kennedy. You're here because you've been
• 49:57
  here for one kind of trespass and a structure.
• 49:59
  Looks like a second degree misdemeanor.
• 50:01
  Mr. Kennedy, there is probable cause for this charge.
• 50:03
  I'm appointing the publishers office to represent you.
• 50:06
  Please listen to your attorney, Mr. McDaniel.
• 50:08
  You always just ask for a bond. Mr. Mitchell.
• 50:12
  Anything. No, Your Honor.
• 50:15
  Mr. Kennedy, looks like you just got out of jail in Bay County.
• 50:17
  For a trust I. Wanted to speak about.
• 50:20
  I've been arrested four times in a short period of time frame and
• 50:24
  I'm homeless. I've got an SSI check but it's
• 50:28
  not made it to me in over a year so I can continuously continue
• 50:32
  to get arrested for being in a situation in life.
• 50:37
  If I could just get probation or something and be able to sign
• 50:41
  probation to where I can go and get my check back started up and
• 50:45
  better myself, I wouldn't be in these predicaments over and over
• 50:49
  and over and over and over again.
• 50:51
  I don't think I've ever given probation to the homeless
• 50:53
  person. I don't know how you would do
• 50:55
  that. How can you supervise them?
• 50:56
  How would you get in contact with them?
• 50:58
  Address where I could live. I have.
• 51:01
  Multiple. Addresses where I can live.
• 51:04
  As a matter of fact. I have enough money to buy a
• 51:07
  trailer owed to me. I just can't even get a bond
• 51:10
  today. So you can post the bond and go
• 51:12
  ahead and get you a a living location, get your residence,
• 51:14
  and we'll see you when you come to court.
• 51:15
  Your bond's gonna be $3500 cash or surety based upon you just
• 51:19
  getting out of jail for a trespass.
• 51:21
  You'll get a chance to use the phone to try to post the bond.
• 51:23
  You'll be released as soon as the bond is posted.
• 51:26
  Mr. Kennedy. They're also going to give you a
• 51:27
  notice for your court date. That way we don't have to mail
• 51:30
  it to you. Go ahead and put it in your
• 51:31
  hand. And that court date will be
• 51:32
  when? Mr. Mitchell, June 1st.
• 51:36
  Yes, June 1st. June 1st at 9:00 AM will be your
• 51:40
  court date and they'll give you just a second.
• 51:42
  Go ahead. I couldn't hear what you were
• 51:46
  saying because I was talking at the same time.
• 51:47
  But your court date will be June 1st.
• 51:48
  Do you have any questions, Your Honor?
• 51:51
  Mr. Kennedy, I just spoke to him.
• 51:52
  I think he just wants to go ahead and resolve this case
• 51:54
  today. Do you understand that he's
• 51:56
  going to be sentenced in 60 days in the county jail?
• 51:58
  He have one day jail credit. He's.
• 51:59
  Going to sign this pre waiver. Form waiver, jury trial and call
• 52:02
  witnesses. And I have spoke to him prior to
• 52:05
  the hearings this morning, and I think he knows this.
• 52:07
  Probably in his best interest. Mr. Kennedy, I have no problem
• 52:11
  at all if you want to wait and post bond or try to post bond.
• 52:14
  And if you don't post the bond, I'll see you in a few days.
• 52:17
  But if you want to resolve this today, I have no problem with
• 52:19
  that either. So tell me what you want to do,
• 52:21
  Sir. Will the time still be rolling?
• 52:23
  Regardless? You're going to get credit for
• 52:25
  the time you're there either way.
• 52:28
  The difference is the difference is OK, Fair enough.
• 52:31
  So you've got the bond, you've got the court date.
• 52:33
  If he doesn't post bond in a couple days, let's get him back
• 52:35
  up once he talks to Mr. McDaniel.
• 52:37
  OK, Have a good day, Sir. What was his and Mr. Dean's bond
• 52:42
  again? $3500 Both of them are $3500.
• 52:46
  OK. Because of their histories.
• 52:50
  Yeah, I'll sign. It he'll, he'll, I don't know,
• 52:56
  he needs to think about it. If he wants to do it tomorrow,
• 52:58
  let's do it tomorrow. But I, we need to give him time
• 53:01
  to think about it. He's he's to.
• 53:04
  Let's work. Up tomorrow, Your Honor.
• 53:06
  I'm sorry. Let's just bring him up
• 53:08
  tomorrow. Confused about it, if he was
• 53:11
  still going to be getting his game time if he's sitting in
• 53:13
  jail. And I thought, no, you're not
• 53:14
  going to be getting the game time sitting in jail.
• 53:15
  It's not. Until you plea out.
• 53:17
  So that was, yeah, he gets credit for times for but not
• 53:20
  game time. But we'll see him tomorrow if he
• 53:22
  wants to resolve it. Mr. McDaniel.
• 53:24
  That leaves Wayne Gates today. Mr. Gates.
• 53:30
  Good morning. Mr. Gates, you're here because
• 53:32
  you've been accused of 1 count of felony battery.
• 53:34
  Mr. Gates, there is probable cause for the charge.
• 53:38
  It's technically a battery. Mr. Gates.
• 53:40
  It's not your typical felony battery that you think of.
• 53:43
  Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Mitchell, y'all may have seen the
• 53:45
  complaint. Think y'all.
• 53:47
  Both have. The allegation is he wiped blood
• 53:49
  on the mother of his child. That would be a battery.
• 53:52
  And because he has prior batteries, that would make it a
• 53:55
  felony battery. The problem is Mr. Gates is on
• 53:57
  state probation out of Washington County.
• 53:59
  That's where the difficulties come in.
• 54:01
  So Mr. Gates, I'm going to point the public service to represent
• 54:04
  you for first appearance purposes.
• 54:06
  Listen to Mr. McDaniel and we'll see what the state's position is
• 54:08
  after that. Yeah, we just ask the reasonable
• 54:10
  bond. Mr. McDaniel.
• 54:13
  I'm sorry, Mr. Mitchell. I apologize.
• 54:17
  What's the case number in Washington County?
• 54:19
  22-385 CF. 385 CF We just request that we hold them for
• 54:29
  seven days so that I can get in contact with Washington County,
• 54:32
  see if they want to revoke his or violate his probation over.
• 54:37
  There. So, Mr. Gates, I'm going to set
• 54:40
  you a misdemeanor bond because of the type of battery it is.
• 54:43
  I think it's technically a battery if what's what's alleged
• 54:46
  is true, but your bonds will be $2500 cash or surety.
• 54:50
  But don't try to post it because of being on probation.
• 54:53
  That's why this is so complicated.
• 54:55
  I'm going to ask Mr. Mitchell to notify the probation office of
• 54:57
  your arrest. They have seven days to seek a
• 55:00
  warrant. We'll see if they get a warrant
• 55:01
  or not. So because you have the new
• 55:03
  arrest, the judge over there may not sign a warrant.
• 55:05
  The judge may give you a notice to appear or the judge may sign
• 55:09
  a warrant. If they sign a warrant, they'll
• 55:10
  decide if they're going to put a bond on it or not.
• 55:13
  I'll see you in seven days. Well, I may see you before then
• 55:15
  if they get a warrant signed before then.
• 55:17
  But if not, I'll see you next Tuesday.
• 55:18
  We'll see if they have a warrant and if they do put a bond on it
• 55:21
  or not at first appearance next Tuesday, but if not before.
• 55:25
  Mr. Gates, any questions? Yes, Sir.
• 55:28
  I don't understand how I'm charged with battery and I was
• 55:31
  sold as and I called. I mean, let me tell you, let me
• 55:36
  let me try to tell you that part of the complaint, complaint says
• 55:40
  that you and Mr. Castillo got in an argument or a fight, but
• 55:43
  after you were fighting, I'm just, I'm just and I don't, I
• 55:46
  don't that that very well may be true.
• 55:49
  But the allegation against you is that afterwards you went up
• 55:54
  to the mother of your child and you notice you're bleeding and
• 55:56
  you wipe some of the blood off of your face on the her face and
• 55:59
  said here you go. And then allegedly you admitted
• 56:02
  to that. That is a battery.
• 56:04
  Now, if that's true, so neither of you were charged with the
• 56:07
  five before then it appears officer doesn't mention charging
• 56:10
  anybody. But technically that's a battery
• 56:13
  and you are on probation. So you have reduced rights when
• 56:15
  you're on probation. So right now you got no bond
• 56:18
  until we see what they do. OK, So on the Hill for seven
• 56:21
  days, for seven days at most. If Washington County comes back
• 56:25
  tomorrow and tells the prosecutor here's a warrant
• 56:28
  judge signed and it's got a $500 bond bond or whatever the judge
• 56:32
  does over there, we'll bring you back up as soon as we know that.
• 56:35
  So seven days at most. I may see you before then.
• 56:37
  OK. Yes, Sir.
• 56:40
  Have a good day. Yeah, we'll give them a court
• 56:42
  date once we. Yeah.
• 56:44
  That also gives time for Mr. Mitchell to look at it and see
• 56:46
  if it's going to stay in felony court or not.
• 56:48
  All right, so we've got we've got Mr. McDaniel.
• 56:53
  We have a couple of cases in the courtroom.
• 56:55
  And I can't tell from this position where they have private
• 56:58
  attorneys or not. None of these have private
• 57:00
  attorneys. None of them have public
• 57:03
  defenders. OK, so we got 3 requests for
• 57:06
  extension, Mr. McDaniel, but they were all played without
• 57:09
  your services at arraignment or pretrial?
• 57:11
  Must have been arraignment, Mr. McDaniel.
• 57:13
  Anything else from the Public Defenders office?
• 57:15
  No, Your Honor. And Corporal, anything else from
• 57:18
  the jail? No, Sir, Your Honor.
• 57:20
  And Mr. Mitchell, I know that you've got to hang around for
• 57:23
  these. Mr. Mitchell, anything else you
• 57:24
  need to jail for or Mr. McDaniel, Your Honor.
• 57:28
  All right. Thank you.
• 57:28
  Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes first appearance.
• 57:30
  We do have these other three cases.
• 57:32
  Corporal, is someone waiting on this connection?
• 57:34
  Does Judge Garcia need this connection today?
• 57:36
  Yes, Sir. We have some zooms.
• 57:38
  Are they at 9:00? Yes.
• 57:42
  OK, what do we have, 859? We're going to get off this
• 57:44
  connection. Then, ladies and gentlemen,
• 57:46
  we'll put these other cases on a different Zoom room so we can
• 57:50
  free up this connection with the jail so Judge Garcia can use it.
• 57:53
  First appearance. Court is adjourned.
• 57:55
  Thank you. Alrighty friends, that brings
• 57:57
  that to a close. For the moment, let's let's head
• 58:01
  over to Texas. Judge W is getting her day
• 58:04
  started. Right, just a second to the
• 58:06
  court with winners. She's not there.
• 58:57
  All. Right.
• 59:00
  Well, it's fascinating as all of the mumbling in the background
• 59:03
  is. It's not overly engaging for
• 59:06
  live stream. So let's go across the hallway
• 59:09
  to Judge Stevens. We'll come back to Judge W
• 59:11
  later. Johnny sent the court and.
• 59:15
  I know, I wish. I might have come in person
• 59:17
  because we just have writing and then everybody else is live and
• 59:21
  they can explain the writing doesn't explain it.
• 59:23
  So he came in again today without a patch on and my
• 59:27
  understanding is he doesn't have one on today either.
• 59:29
  Is that right? Is there?
• 59:31
  They had failed off. They had failed off yesterday
• 59:33
  when I was inside. I'm sorry, sit over there.
• 59:36
  They specifically stated they've never even had a chance to.
• 59:40
  See that? I know, but I'm about to, I'm
• 59:43
  about to revoke his bond and put him in jail, but not just on
• 59:49
  people whose he due processes. He gets your representative.
• 59:55
  Yeah, you get a chance to question and that's not
• 59:57
  happening because nobody shows up and it just we just can't do
• 1:00:01
  it on A1 sided statement on in writing we had it has to get
• 1:00:06
  tested by cross examination and. Things like that.
• 1:00:11
  But. No, I'm, I'm sorry.
• 1:00:13
  Everybody else has to follow the rules.
• 1:00:15
  I'm picking up this file from somebody else.
• 1:00:17
  Hey slow judge and I I'll be glad to yeah we we're going to
• 1:00:21
  have it takes a hearing but it's his word against whoever saying
• 1:00:26
  this and then this just writing and and hearsay is it is an
• 1:00:30
  objection that would be raised and I just we just can't make it
• 1:00:35
  up out of. Things like the rest of the
• 1:00:36
  week. Be back here.
• 1:00:38
  But anyway, we're going to get somebody over here right now and
• 1:00:41
  deal with one step at a time. If you know what I.
• 1:00:44
  Mean. Yes, Sir.
• 1:00:45
  OK, Do I understand? Fine.
• 1:00:48
  They didn't. Depending upon where it goes.
• 1:00:51
  Oh. David Carter.
• 1:00:53
  He's here. President, it's your honor.
• 1:00:55
  I think Mr. making this this it takes over 1/4 point and just
• 1:00:59
  make it's been retained. Is that correct?
• 1:01:01
  Yes, yes. And I'm not ready.
• 1:01:05
  Where is the. Defendant.
• 1:01:06
  Come forward, Professor. I'm sorry, David Rogers.
• 1:01:10
  Where is he? Stand up.
• 1:01:12
  Come on up. Does he speak English?
• 1:01:15
  Yes, you are OK. He's just having trouble.
• 1:01:18
  Communicating. You're David Lee Rogers.
• 1:01:20
  Yes, Sir. You were charged here with a
• 1:01:22
  second degree felony of aggravated assault with a deadly
• 1:01:24
  weapon, and if convicted, you face up to. 20.
• 1:01:30
  Years in prison. So this is a most serious
• 1:01:34
  allegation here. She appears to have picked up at
• 1:01:40
  least two different misdemeanors while he's been held on bond on
• 1:01:43
  this. Who is Charlatha?
• 1:01:45
  My wife. OK.
• 1:01:46
  Need. Do you know you cannot have any
• 1:01:48
  contact with her even though they're married?
• 1:01:51
  You haven't? No, Sir.
• 1:01:52
  OK. If we find out, your bond would
• 1:01:54
  be revoked and you would sit in jail until this thing came to
• 1:01:58
  trial, which could be a while. Back on January 8th of 2025 he
• 1:02:01
  made admissions if he was around her and the report went through
• 1:02:06
  extensive explanations about the violations and then ordered that
• 1:02:10
  he have AGPS and that's what you have GPS device.
• 1:02:16
  So what else you you had said something the state your honor,
• 1:02:20
  since he's gotten this bond of looking over this file coming
• 1:02:25
  down he's. Spent.
• 1:02:27
  Three additional misdemeanors since his bond was was set.
• 1:02:32
  OK, I don't know. I don't know anything about
• 1:02:34
  that. I'm showing on the system.
• 1:02:37
  Mr. Macon represents him on the DWI from April 26th. 20. 4 and
• 1:02:43
  unlawfully carrying a weapon, and I informed Mr. Macon that he
• 1:02:47
  has an additional charge coming from February 22nd of this year
• 1:02:52
  for assault causing bodily injury.
• 1:02:54
  On him. Since it's deferred, I don't
• 1:02:58
  have the victim. 'S name on that.
• 1:03:00
  I think it would be important to know, yes Sir, I agree would be
• 1:03:03
  somebody we know. In this case.
• 1:03:05
  Yes, Sir, I agree. But I don't have that on my
• 1:03:09
  watch. You're going to pick up all
• 1:03:10
  these arrests on my watch? First bond condition, don't
• 1:03:14
  commit a crime that starts. That's the very first one, Sir.
• 1:03:19
  Because it's the most important and.
• 1:03:21
  You're going to run up arrests. When did all of this occur?
• 1:03:25
  The the latest was February 22nd.
• 1:03:29
  Of the share judge. Can I get a charging?
• 1:03:31
  Instrument. A copy of a charging.
• 1:03:34
  Instrument that that's what was deferred.
• 1:03:36
  I don't have that information, Judge I.
• 1:03:38
  Don't have anything. When was it deferred placed on?
• 1:03:41
  When was he placed on deferred? It was.
• 1:03:44
  Sent back for us to get proper. It was it was a oh, he's not
• 1:03:48
  he's not on deferred adjudication.
• 1:03:50
  It was OK deferrals from our office.
• 1:03:52
  Yeah. You got to be clear if we're the
• 1:03:54
  listed name, we use it in different ways.
• 1:03:56
  Sorry, Judge. That's OK.
• 1:03:58
  The listed name is Damari, spelled DMAURI Fisher.
• 1:04:04
  And what's the charge again? That's misdemeanor last name.
• 1:04:09
  Misdemeanor assault. What?
• 1:04:11
  What's the? Can I get a probable cause by
• 1:04:14
  any chance if I had it? I'd give it to you what's.
• 1:04:16
  Next on him. He's got three of them.
• 1:04:18
  Hilarious. Putting out the informations on
• 1:04:20
  the 2 misdemeanors. Those arise those two arise out
• 1:04:25
  of the same date which is April 26th, 2024.
• 1:04:30
  That is the offensive DWI is and Karen was cut off with carrying
• 1:04:35
  a weapon to see is also out of when what day 2 charges same day
• 1:04:41
  April 26th 2024 OK that was before he was indicted in this
• 1:04:46
  and before he committed the July 5th you're.
• 1:04:48
  Right. That's staying correct.
• 1:04:52
  Thank you. But you said there was a third
• 1:04:54
  one that was the one that's been deferred by our office for
• 1:04:59
  additional information. So you make a big deal about.
• 1:05:02
  This. Yes, Sir.
• 1:05:04
  Assaults are just you're charged with aggravated assault.
• 1:05:09
  Problem is you picked up these two assaults, DWI on April 26th
• 1:05:18
  and then an assault. No, it's a unlawfully carrying a
• 1:05:22
  weapon while intoxicating and those were handed up on those
• 1:05:29
  were filed on February 25th, but they alleged to have been
• 1:05:34
  committed and I guess you were arrested on April 26th of 2024.
• 1:05:39
  And then three. Two and a little over two months
• 1:05:43
  later, you're charged with this aggravated assault.
• 1:05:49
  Can I have? Is this a copy for me?
• 1:05:51
  Or is this she got? That's right, you she got.
• 1:05:55
  What bothers me is handguns are your favorite thing according to
• 1:05:59
  these charges. The misuse of handguns is seems
• 1:06:04
  to be something that you make mistakes over.
• 1:06:09
  OK, what's? Happened since July 5th of 2024.
• 1:06:14
  Any other charges or less according to the this is the one
• 1:06:17
  that I'm need to do some follow up from this year judge.
• 1:06:21
  And what data do you have that you can tell me now about it?
• 1:06:25
  I've been looking at there's nothing in there judge, that I
• 1:06:28
  can share with your owner. Anyway, I apologize.
• 1:06:30
  I think seeing the 25 date I thought it was after the date.
• 1:06:34
  That's OK. That's not a problem, Mr.
• 1:06:37
  There's. We're smelling smoke here.
• 1:06:39
  We're looking for the fire. Yes, Sir.
• 1:06:41
  There's too much smoke. Maybe you've done something that
• 1:06:44
  you don't want. You've got my.
• 1:06:46
  Attention. close attention. OK if.
• 1:06:49
  We reset this for about two weeks.
• 1:06:51
  I believe I can have follow up on the other and we can consider
• 1:06:55
  the bond at that time. You know, well, it's.
• 1:06:59
  What I'm more? Interested in is.
• 1:07:01
  What we're going to do? In this case, so this case has
• 1:07:04
  been kind of been a stall process while he was trying to
• 1:07:10
  get into veterans court. He was declined.
• 1:07:13
  And you made an order that if he was, if that occurred, he had to
• 1:07:18
  hire an attorney. He's apparently done that.
• 1:07:21
  And it was all a trial docket in March.
• 1:07:27
  But we've not had an opportunity to visit with Mr. Macon about
• 1:07:30
  the case. When's the next?
• 1:07:32
  Where? When's the next setting?
• 1:07:34
  What are we? It wasn't.
• 1:07:34
  It was in March you said was the trial March was the last
• 1:07:37
  setting, you know, the trial docking.
• 1:07:40
  Well, I end it just. Rolling over to the next
• 1:07:42
  setting, we can do that. Chuck, that's what we're going
• 1:07:45
  to do and. We'll just think, try it as soon
• 1:07:47
  as we can. It's now getting, it's headed
• 1:07:50
  toward two years and he's got other issues.
• 1:07:55
  You know that. That's Bobby Jim.
• 1:07:59
  Does he have any prior convictions?
• 1:08:04
  See public safety link will shows.
• 1:08:11
  Nothing for them I'll. Be in the state of Texas, Judge,
• 1:08:15
  All right. Let's put this on the trial doc.
• 1:08:21
  I'll be in. Touch with Mr. Handy on.
• 1:08:24
  OK. Good, Chase.
• 1:08:27
  And if somebody come in, yeah, just I want to check in before
• 1:08:31
  he leaves. With.
• 1:08:32
  In the penalty box, OK, I see Jean Claude Butler.
• 1:08:37
  Jean Claude, What are? We doing judge we're.
• 1:08:44
  Waiting on some medical. Records We've issued the
• 1:08:46
  subpoena Ford need to get a get a reset.
• 1:08:49
  On that please. When did when did they get sent
• 1:08:52
  out? April maybe like last month.
• 1:08:58
  April 8th is when they were last month.
• 1:09:02
  Yes. What you're saying, yes.
• 1:09:07
  We're going on a. Year and a half.
• 1:09:08
  Since this thing's been indicted and now a year and a half later,
• 1:09:11
  then we start sending out things.
• 1:09:15
  No. It's time to go forward with the
• 1:09:18
  other We'll put on the Trump. You have the PC.
• 1:09:22
  I have one. In terms of my representation,
• 1:09:25
  it just began in February, so whatever happened before, I
• 1:09:31
  can't. I don't know, but I.
• 1:09:34
  Know who is? Who is the complainant here?
• 1:09:36
  What relationship is Mr. Butler to the complainant?
• 1:09:40
  I'm asking you. Your aunt, you know you can't
• 1:09:44
  have any contact. With that person.
• 1:09:46
  You did you go to jail? And we'd wait that out until we
• 1:09:50
  got to trial specifically. It's it's great.
• 1:09:58
  Does grandmother's sister judge OK?
• 1:10:01
  All right, I'll watch you. Now, under this allegation, she
• 1:10:06
  was 80. 3. 83 years of age? 83 years of age?
• 1:10:12
  Yes, Sir. When is that?
• 1:10:14
  83 years of age I believe. That.
• 1:10:19
  She hit. Herself.
• 1:10:20
  No, that he may have been in a postdictal state from seizure.
• 1:10:27
  Everyone has been wrong. Well I don't know about that but
• 1:10:31
  I apparently 100 bucks for very Jesus sis.
• 1:10:42
  The assault is on video. Yes, Sir, says the person was
• 1:10:49
  not only elderly but also disabled.
• 1:10:51
  It shows dementia. We've been dealing with this.
• 1:10:53
  Someone who's got her medical power.
• 1:10:57
  All right. OK, so today what is it put?
• 1:11:02
  It on the travel. And because of the nature of
• 1:11:07
  this. Accelerated.
• 1:11:09
  I want it. In the next.
• 1:11:10
  Month or two. Please.
• 1:11:12
  And we'll put it first. Get it?
• 1:11:15
  Resound Taylor Nephal. Give her 7th.
• 1:11:21
  Taylor Neville. You can.
• 1:11:24
  Judge on this, Neville, we've engaged the state and some
• 1:11:28
  discussion. I've been What are we doing
• 1:11:30
  today? That's all.
• 1:11:32
  Need to reset judgement. OK.
• 1:11:36
  Until when and why? 30 days to discuss with my
• 1:11:41
  client though the essentially the last or best dates offer.
• 1:11:46
  OK, four weeks, you guys anybody were we how we doing on
• 1:11:57
  probation, we got to go into a trial all?
• 1:12:00
  Right. We'll keep an eye on Judge
• 1:12:01
  Stevens Court. Let's go back across the hallway
• 1:12:03
  to Judge W They seem to be actually ready to do some
• 1:12:07
  business now. Jermaine Gibson, senior and Mr.
• 1:12:12
  Gibson's has four cases set for trial to begin with jury
• 1:12:15
  selection next Monday. And what is the announcement?
• 1:12:18
  No, no, we're going to ask for a little bit more time.
• 1:12:20
  We got supplemental evidence, a notification of it and then a
• 1:12:24
  notification if you get up yesterday evening.
• 1:12:26
  So I haven't even had a chance to review what the supplemental
• 1:12:29
  evidence is. It all came in from the DNA from
• 1:12:32
  the DPS lab. Concerning the DNA stuff, it's
• 1:12:35
  their lab notes and everything that we're now required to give
• 1:12:40
  defense of. It just came in.
• 1:12:42
  So we can. Turn it over as soon as we.
• 1:12:43
  Got it. Judging.
• 1:12:45
  Obviously that's important for miss delays to go over and go
• 1:12:49
  over with you before we go to trial.
• 1:12:51
  Is it lengthy? Is it?
• 1:12:52
  It was on a jump drive. I haven't even had a chance to
• 1:12:55
  look at it yet. And I haven't even picked it up
• 1:12:56
  yet. Right.
• 1:12:57
  Well, I guess my question, my concern is if it's, is it you've
• 1:13:03
  already received results? Yes, ma'am.
• 1:13:06
  So it's not new results, it's just their notes and things like
• 1:13:10
  that. All of their.
• 1:13:13
  Right. Everything that's.
• 1:13:15
  Required to be. But there's no change in having
• 1:13:18
  the new testing, new results or anything like that.
• 1:13:21
  So what I'd like to go ahead and do is unless I want you to get
• 1:13:25
  it, take a look at it today, I'd like to go ahead and number the
• 1:13:29
  case. Obviously, if we can.
• 1:13:32
  And there's some others that are potentially going to go above it
• 1:13:37
  anyway. But I don't want to just reset
• 1:13:39
  it today based on that or take a look at it because if it's not
• 1:13:42
  really new results, it's just kind of how they got there, then
• 1:13:46
  let me know if you need some more time.
• 1:13:48
  But otherwise, I'll number the case.
• 1:13:49
  OK, sounds good and state ready as well.
• 1:13:53
  OK, All right. And has there been any change?
• 1:13:55
  It looks like the last rejection was for 15 years and the two AG
• 1:14:01
  cases with dismissals in the others, is that correct?
• 1:14:05
  No change on any type of want to take any plea agreement,
• 1:14:08
  Correct. All right.
• 1:14:09
  I'll number the case. Then again if there's something
• 1:14:11
  in there that looks like it's going to take more time then
• 1:14:14
  just let me know. Otherwise I'll no problem.
• 1:14:16
  Does that mean that we're going to keep the same date next week?
• 1:14:18
  Yes, but I have several cases set for each week, it's not just
• 1:14:23
  one. And So what we do is we have a
• 1:14:25
  pre trial, some places, some cases do need to be reset.
• 1:14:30
  And then the ones that I have left after docket today, I will
• 1:14:33
  put them in a trial order based on the nature of the case,
• 1:14:35
  whether the defendant's in custody or not, how old it is
• 1:14:39
  and things like that. So I'll set that trial order as
• 1:14:41
  soon as we're done with docket today that.
• 1:14:44
  Time is not the time that we'll be able that I'll be able to see
• 1:14:46
  exactly what everything they have against me.
• 1:14:49
  Well, in trial misdelays should have go over but.
• 1:14:52
  We're going to go through. Yeah, she'll be out there and
• 1:14:55
  show you everything they have. If something that based on what
• 1:15:00
  you show him, you need to let me know immediately.
• 1:15:04
  All right, Well, she's. I'm going to ask Miss Elijah if
• 1:15:06
  you'll get out there quickly. All that should have been gone
• 1:15:09
  over everything before. Really.
• 1:15:10
  It was put on the trial docket. So if you get out there, I need
• 1:15:12
  to know that. Yes.
• 1:15:14
  OK. Thank you.
• 1:15:15
  Thank you, ma'am. Yes, Mr. Lewis, on Paulo
• 1:15:21
  Dominguez, 2 cases. Good morning.
• 1:15:25
  Are you Paulo Dominguez? Yes, ma'am.
• 1:15:29
  Paulo Dominguez, server Second. I'm here to Goodman.
• 1:15:32
  OK, so this is clause numbers 25, DCCR 0764 and 2240372.
• 1:15:42
  I'm going to take judicial notice of the court's files.
• 1:15:45
  In each of those cases, Mr. Dominguez was evaluated for
• 1:15:49
  competency to stand trial by Doctor Hamza.
• 1:15:53
  I've received that report dated April 8th of 2026.
• 1:15:57
  The finding in that report is that Mister Dominguez is
• 1:16:01
  currently not competent to stand trial and that inpatient
• 1:16:06
  treatment for competency restoration would be warranted.
• 1:16:09
  Is there any other evidence with regard to competency?
• 1:16:15
  So at this time, in each case, I'm going to find that Mister
• 1:16:18
  Dominguez is currently not competent to stay in trial.
• 1:16:21
  That inpatient restoration program would be called for and
• 1:16:26
  ordered that he be placed in the appropriate competency
• 1:16:31
  restoration facility for a period of not to exceed 120 days
• 1:16:34
  from the day he gets to that facility.
• 1:16:36
  And then we will await their report.
• 1:16:40
  Also have a note that the state was going to either amend.
• 1:16:45
  Yes, Jeff, we have to amend the indictment.
• 1:16:48
  It's not done yet. We were just going to strike
• 1:16:51
  language. In both cases, I have a notation
• 1:16:53
  that you guys were going to file an amendment.
• 1:16:58
  I was just going to hold the amendment.
• 1:17:00
  I mean, let's do this since I've since he's not competent.
• 1:17:03
  If you can get something filed that would be cleaner for the
• 1:17:05
  file. And if you'll explain, Mr. Mr.
• 1:17:10
  Dominguez, we're going to send you to a hospital so that you
• 1:17:13
  can get better, so when you can understand everything, and then
• 1:17:16
  we'll get you back in court after that.
• 1:17:21
  Mr. Parker, you have Justice Lewis.
• 1:17:24
  Justice Lewis, good morning. Thank you.
• 1:17:27
  Good morning, ma'am. Are you Justice Joanna Lewis And
• 1:17:30
  Miss Lewis Best? You can raise your right hand.
• 1:17:31
  Please. Do you swear or affirm?
• 1:17:33
  The testimony you're going to give in this hearing will be the
• 1:17:35
  truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
• 1:17:38
  Thank you. You can put your hand down.
• 1:17:39
  Mr. Parker, will your client wave the formal reading of the
• 1:17:41
  motion? Miss Lewis and clause #24 DCCR
• 1:17:46
  0766. I have a motion to revoke your
• 1:17:49
  unadjudicated probation shows that you were placed on
• 1:17:51
  probation September 30th of 2024 for the offense of aggravated
• 1:17:57
  assault with a deadly weapon, a second degree felony, and that
• 1:17:59
  was a five year deferred probation.
• 1:18:01
  Is that correct? The motion alleges that you
• 1:18:04
  violated your probation. Count 1 alleges that you failed
• 1:18:08
  to report as directed to the Probation Department January,
• 1:18:12
  February, March, June, July and August of 2025 and is that true
• 1:18:19
  or not true? True or not true?
• 1:18:21
  Thank you. Count 2 alleges that you failed
• 1:18:24
  to provide verification and performing the community service
• 1:18:27
  hours as directed. Is that true or not true?
• 1:18:29
  Count 3 alleges that you failed to enroll in services at Spindle
• 1:18:33
  Top as you were ordered. Is that true or not true?
• 1:18:37
  And then count 4, OK, we'll talk about what happened after.
• 1:18:43
  So count 4 alleges that you're behind in your court assessed
• 1:18:45
  fees and is that true or not true?
• 1:18:47
  He gave. Me opportunities, OK.
• 1:18:51
  So did you enter your place of truth accounts 123 and 4 freely
• 1:18:56
  and voluntarily? And did you plead true to those
• 1:18:58
  counts because they're actually true, Right.
• 1:19:01
  Then I'm going to find that you entered your place of truth
• 1:19:02
  accounts one through 4 freely and voluntarily.
• 1:19:05
  Is there any evidence that Miss Lewis is not competent?
• 1:19:09
  Find, find those counts true. Find sufficient evidence to find
• 1:19:13
  you guilty and revoke your probation.
• 1:19:14
  I'm not going to do that today. I'm going to reset your case for
• 1:19:17
  sentencing and ask the Probation department to do an updated
• 1:19:20
  report that'll give me more information about you and what's
• 1:19:24
  been going on with your case, and then we'll come back later
• 1:19:27
  for sentencing. Anything that you think's
• 1:19:29
  important for me to know, talk to Mr. Parker about that and
• 1:19:32
  he'll present it to me on your behalf when we come back.
• 1:19:34
  OK. All right.
• 1:19:35
  And go back with the bailiffs, Mr. Parker on Mercedes Saez to
• 1:19:40
  sentencing. Good morning, ma'am.
• 1:19:43
  You're a Mercedes Saez and this is 1829442 and Miss Science is
• 1:19:50
  on probation for driving while intoxicated with a child under
• 1:19:54
  15 from January 7th of 2019. And it looks like she was
• 1:20:00
  previously here and her police have Trude accounts 1-2 and
• 1:20:03
  three, I've received an updated report.
• 1:20:07
  Has everyone had an opportunity to review that report?
• 1:20:10
  Yes. Any additions or corrections?
• 1:20:12
  No. So the the probation actually it
• 1:20:17
  would have expired January 6th of this year and the motion is
• 1:20:21
  what kept it open. Looks like the defendant is
• 1:20:25
  receives monthly disability and so had issues obviously paying
• 1:20:29
  and finding employment which are the main allegations.
• 1:20:33
  And so I guess Mr. Smith looks like the probation has really
• 1:20:38
  one of two ideas for us. What are your thoughts on that
• 1:20:42
  I? Mean.
• 1:20:45
  I understand the situation, she was given every opportunity and
• 1:20:49
  I just don't think probation is. Well, it's either to revoke her
• 1:20:54
  or to just let it. I guess I let the cat case to
• 1:20:59
  close because primarily it's the fees and the inability.
• 1:21:03
  Everything else has been OK with regard to probation.
• 1:21:07
  Other than that, I don't know that I would be able to make
• 1:21:10
  those findings that she could have paid.
• 1:21:13
  Well, I will help just in addition to that judge, she, she
• 1:21:16
  is part of the, she's had jobs and she can't keep them because
• 1:21:18
  she has seizures. And that was part and that was
• 1:21:21
  part of her problem with that. You know, she can't keep the job
• 1:21:24
  because of her health condition and she can't make it to work.
• 1:21:27
  Well, she can't pay and that's pretty much it.
• 1:21:30
  She's told me she's about the seizures for a long time.
• 1:21:32
  And right, so I mean based on the Probation department's
• 1:21:37
  recommendations and summary here with regard to really kind of an
• 1:21:42
  inability to pay and inability at times to find employment, I
• 1:21:46
  don't know that I would be able to legally find that she could
• 1:21:48
  pay anyway. And so at this time, what I am
• 1:21:50
  going to do, Miss Sias, is allow your case to close with fees
• 1:21:55
  owed. That means your probation will
• 1:21:57
  be over. All right.
• 1:21:58
  You've done everything else it looks like that you're supposed
• 1:22:00
  to do. So I appreciate that.
• 1:22:03
  And it looks like for the most part, you've done very well.
• 1:22:06
  And the issues that cause this case aren't what the issues are
• 1:22:10
  now. It's just paying and employment.
• 1:22:12
  So your case is over. All right.
• 1:22:14
  Good luck to you, ma'am. Thank.
• 1:22:16
  You. Judge delays on Ariberto Chavez.
• 1:22:20
  OK, never mind. Never mind on that one.
• 1:22:23
  But she asked me to text from her case.
• 1:22:25
  That's fine. I'll.
• 1:22:26
  I'll hold it while she's taking care of some of that.
• 1:22:28
  Thank you, Mr. All. Righty friends creeping up on on
• 1:22:33
  the start of our three already we're power 47 into this time is
• 1:22:40
  flying this morning. But good morning to you TCF live
• 1:22:44
  on Cinco de Mayo. Let's let's go back down to
• 1:22:48
  Florida. Judge Mercer said he had a
• 1:22:50
  couple of other cases and he restarted his his stream.
• 1:22:55
  So let's check those out. T And let me make sure we've got
• 1:22:59
  Mr. Mitchell. He is with us.
• 1:23:00
  So Mr. Martin, it looks like you're here.
• 1:23:02
  In this case, you entered a plea of no contest, the charge of no
• 1:23:06
  valid driver's license back on March 6th.
• 1:23:08
  It looks like I sent you the 10 days in jail or $400.00 fine.
• 1:23:12
  That final is going to be lower to 300 if you got a driver's
• 1:23:14
  license before the due date, which was yesterday.
• 1:23:19
  So you can pay $300 or you could come in today and ask for an
• 1:23:22
  extension if you needed one. So my first question I ask
• 1:23:26
  everyone, Mr. Martin is in the two months you've had, have you
• 1:23:30
  been able to pay anything towards this court cost and
• 1:23:32
  fine? No, Sir.
• 1:23:33
  It's been Hector trying to look for a job and plus my aunt just
• 1:23:36
  died. I was in Fort Walton for that.
• 1:23:39
  And it's just I'm just trying to find a job and I just got 1.
• 1:23:44
  I actually start today at 1:00. You were not working when you
• 1:23:48
  came to court and played then. No, Sir, I was not.
• 1:23:51
  OK, So what are what are you asking me to do, Mr. Mark?
• 1:23:54
  I'm just. Wondering if you can give me at
• 1:23:56
  least 10 days? In 10 days I'll have it to be
• 1:23:58
  paid, maybe even before then. Tell me what's going to change
• 1:24:01
  if I give you 10 days. How's that going to change
• 1:24:03
  things? I'm going to pay the court.
• 1:24:05
  Bond. How are you going to get the
• 1:24:06
  money though to pay it in 10 days?
• 1:24:08
  Job they told my job holds a week back on money my check so
• 1:24:13
  as soon as I get they hold a week back I work that and then
• 1:24:16
  I'll be able to pay the. So you think you're going to get
• 1:24:19
  a check within if they hold a week back?
• 1:24:21
  How you going to get a check within 10 days?
• 1:24:22
  When's your first paycheck? Yeah, no, my bad.
• 1:24:26
  They're going to hold a week back, so I'm.
• 1:24:28
  Yeah. So it would be 20 days then.
• 1:24:30
  My bad. OK, So what I'm going to do in
• 1:24:33
  your case, Mr. Martin, is Mr. Mitchell.
• 1:24:35
  What's the state's position? We have no objection to an
• 1:24:39
  extension. I know you were throwing around
• 1:24:42
  10 or 20 days, maybe 15 days or something like that.
• 1:24:46
  Well, I want to give him enough time.
• 1:24:47
  My plan is to give him enough time to do it or do community
• 1:24:50
  service. And I'm not going to give
• 1:24:51
  another extension if he either pays it or does community
• 1:24:53
  service, I'm fine with that. But if he comes up having done
• 1:24:56
  nothing again, it's too late to get your, it's too late to get
• 1:24:59
  your driver's license. You didn't get your driver's
• 1:25:00
  license either, right? So you forget about that.
• 1:25:02
  The saving the $100 is gone because you had to do that one
• 1:25:04
  in 60 days. So what?
• 1:25:05
  I'm going to give you a 30 day extension for it to come back to
• 1:25:09
  court down the closest court date to 30 days from now.
• 1:25:15
  You just go to the 5th of June. Is that on a weekday?
• 1:25:18
  OK, so we're going to make it June 4th.
• 1:25:22
  It'll be due June 4th $400.00 or be in court June 5th to start
• 1:25:27
  your 10 day sentence. It also my bad.
• 1:25:30
  It's OK. It also got me in a pickle
• 1:25:33
  because I didn't have my Social Security card, so I had to wait
• 1:25:36
  that two weeks for them to process all that and get in my
• 1:25:40
  car. But I just got my security card
• 1:25:41
  and my everything I just got into the system up there.
• 1:25:44
  I start today at 1:00 we're. Going to give you an amended
• 1:25:46
  disposition with the June 4th and June 5th date.
• 1:25:50
  If you get it paid by June 4th, great.
• 1:25:52
  If you don't need to be back in court June 5th at 8:30 to start
• 1:25:55
  your 10 HL sentence. What were you saying Don?
• 1:25:58
  I just wanted to be in the court file.
• 1:26:00
  So whichever is easiest for you. It's easier just to do a notice.
• 1:26:02
  That's fine, as long as the court file reflects that.
• 1:26:06
  So Mr. Mark, we're going to give you that notice, Sir.
• 1:26:07
  We'll give you a copy of that. We'll get you out of here.
• 1:26:09
  Thank you, Joe so much. Yes, Sir, yes, 400 is the same
• 1:26:14
  amount he was originally ordered two months ago.
• 1:26:16
  If you don't pay it and you don't show up, then that's when
• 1:26:19
  the war will be issued for your arrest.
• 1:26:20
  We're going to give you the community service form also, so
• 1:26:23
  you'll have that option. If you prefer to do community
• 1:26:25
  service at the rate of $15.00 an hour, that's fine too.
• 1:26:28
  That'll be 27 hours. So, Mr. Martin to step over
• 1:26:32
  here, if you will, Megan Lanham. Mr. Mitchell, I believe Miss
• 1:26:36
  Lanham is a similar situation. She's on her way up.
• 1:26:39
  This is case 26-70 CT. She appeared before me back on
• 1:26:44
  March 2nd. Charge of driving license
• 1:26:46
  suspended or revoked. Knowingly sentenced to 10 days
• 1:26:49
  in jail or $300 fine because she did not have a public defender
• 1:26:53
  fee, apparently should get to file a driver's license.
• 1:26:56
  It'd be reduced to $200. And that was two months ago.
• 1:26:59
  So, Miss Lanham, tell me what have you paid?
• 1:27:02
  Anything at all towards this? No Sir, I got fired from my job
• 1:27:05
  probably a week or two after I came to court for not being able
• 1:27:09
  to work on Sundays because my kids.
• 1:27:11
  OK, so I I'm sorry they were talking at the same time.
• 1:27:13
  Say that again. I got fired from my job probably
• 1:27:15
  a week or two after I came to court because I couldn't work on
• 1:27:19
  Sundays for my kids. OK.
• 1:27:21
  So you haven't paid anything at all?
• 1:27:24
  Did you get a driver's license? No, Sir.
• 1:27:26
  OK, So what are you asking for? I do need an extension.
• 1:27:29
  I'm supposed to be starting work on the 25th.
• 1:27:31
  I was able to find another job. The 25th of May.
• 1:27:34
  Yes, Sir. OK, so I'm a Mr. Mitchell
• 1:27:37
  State's position. We have no objection to an
• 1:27:40
  extension. We're.
• 1:27:42
  Going to do the same thing we did in the last case, that's
• 1:27:44
  going to give you an extension of approximately 30 days.
• 1:27:50
  You also get the opportunity to the community service.
• 1:27:54
  There will not be another extension either do the
• 1:27:56
  community service. If you don't start a job until
• 1:27:58
  the 20 something, you almost got to do the community service
• 1:28:00
  because I only think you have time to get to get get it paid.
• 1:28:02
  Yes, Sir. So either do the community
• 1:28:05
  service or get it paid by this court date or be in court the
• 1:28:07
  next day, which I'm going to give you to start your 10 day
• 1:28:10
  jail sentence. Exact same disposition.
• 1:28:12
  If you don't, if you don't show up, you don't get it paid, don't
• 1:28:16
  show proof of community service, then there'll be a warrant
• 1:28:18
  issued for your arrest and there'll be a 10 day jail
• 1:28:20
  sentence, which you will do eventually.
• 1:28:21
  Yes, Sir, Hers will be fewer hours.
• 1:28:24
  You're right, because it's, yeah, 20 hours of community
• 1:28:28
  service. We're going to give you that
• 1:28:29
  disposition, ma'am. But that that new notice for the
• 1:28:32
  new court date, of course, if you get it paid, get the
• 1:28:34
  community service turned in, you don't have to come to court.
• 1:28:36
  Yes, Sir, do. You have any questions?
• 1:28:38
  Yes, Sir. All right, ma'am, we're going to
• 1:28:39
  get you that paperwork in just a second.
• 1:28:43
  Shumar Manual. Mr. Manual's coming up in case
• 1:28:46
  26-41CT. Mr. Manual, the first question I
• 1:28:51
  have for you is you were supposed to be here at 8:30.
• 1:28:54
  You showed up about in the courtroom about 9:00.
• 1:28:57
  Yes, I was really late and you're running late.
• 1:29:00
  You got a Mariana address. It's not like you're coming from
• 1:29:02
  far away. So why are you, why are you 30
• 1:29:04
  minutes late for court if you live in Mariana?
• 1:29:07
  Accidentally woke up late as well.
• 1:29:10
  Had a long night as well. But I don't know.
• 1:29:16
  I just lost one of my family members.
• 1:29:18
  Miss Mercer. OK, so let me let me get this,
• 1:29:20
  let me get on the record where we stand.
• 1:29:21
  So Mr. Manuel was here on March 2nd, 60 day about two months
• 1:29:25
  ago, same thing, 10 days in jail.
• 1:29:27
  His fine was only $200 because he had a valid driver's license
• 1:29:31
  given 60 days to pay it, which was due yesterday or be in court
• 1:29:34
  today. So tell me what you mean by long
• 1:29:36
  night. I got to decide if I'm going to
• 1:29:37
  add to the fine because you're not showing up for court out of
• 1:29:40
  three people. You'd only want it didn't show
• 1:29:41
  up on time. So what would you mean when you
• 1:29:43
  say you had a long night last night?
• 1:29:44
  I mean, I just lost, lost my last night.
• 1:29:46
  You lost a family member. OK, That's what that's.
• 1:29:49
  And that was here in Jackson County.
• 1:29:51
  No, Sir. They live in live in Gaston
• 1:29:53
  County. OK.
• 1:29:54
  What happened? I just took on a natural passing
• 1:29:56
  or they die in an accident or something.
• 1:29:58
  Yeah. So accident.
• 1:29:59
  OK, I'm sorry to hear that. That's understandable if you've
• 1:30:01
  been late. So let's talk about have you got
• 1:30:04
  anything paid towards this $200? You've had the two months to do
• 1:30:07
  it? No, Sir, I haven't.
• 1:30:08
  I just got started with a job. I'm supposed to start Thursday.
• 1:30:14
  The note in the system say that you called last week or
• 1:30:17
  yesterday. Someone called on your behalf of
• 1:30:20
  yesterday. It says she, so I'm assuming it
• 1:30:22
  was this young lady with you. That's where the note in the
• 1:30:24
  system says you've got $100.00 of it.
• 1:30:26
  OK, That's helpful. Because that cuts it in half.
• 1:30:28
  It gets it down. So you can pay $100 today to to
• 1:30:31
  get this, to cut this number in half.
• 1:30:34
  OK And then how much time do you need, Mr. Daniel, to pay their
• 1:30:37
  other hundred other 10, maybe 15 days maybe if I give you the
• 1:30:42
  same amount of time as I gave the other two people.
• 1:30:44
  Can you get it done in 30 days? Yes, Sir.
• 1:30:46
  And you do have the $100 cash to pay today, Mr. Mitchell.
• 1:30:51
  No objection to the same extension, your honor.
• 1:30:55
  So what we're going to do is provided the $100 is paid today
• 1:30:58
  and the officer show you downstairs so you can get that
• 1:31:00
  done. Ma'am, I'm going to grab the
• 1:31:02
  same extension, Mr. Manuel to the to that you had already as
• 1:31:06
  the other individuals. That's a 30 day extension or
• 1:31:09
  very close to 30 days. We're going to give you a court
• 1:31:11
  date to come back to start attend a jail sentence.
• 1:31:13
  Hopefully that's never going to happen because you're going to
• 1:31:15
  have it paid so you don't have to come back to court.
• 1:31:17
  The court date is only if you need it, Mr. Manuel, and those
• 1:31:21
  dates again. Import.
• 1:31:24
  To have it paid or being pulled. On Tuesday.
• 1:31:27
  OK. So we're going to give you that
• 1:31:28
  in writing. And if you take this downstairs,
• 1:31:31
  they'll let you make the $100 payment, ma'am.
• 1:31:33
  They'll give you a receipt for that.
• 1:31:34
  All yours is $100.00. So you got 30 days to pay $100.
• 1:31:37
  I'm sorry for your loss. We'll give you the paperwork.
• 1:31:40
  Do you have any questions? We'll give you that paperwork,
• 1:31:43
  Mr. Manuel, and we'll get you out here in just a second,
• 1:31:45
  please. Thank you, Mr. Mitchell.
• 1:31:47
  That's everything I had on my docket this morning.
• 1:31:49
  Anything else from the State Attorney's Office?
• 1:31:52

  pantry, looking at leftovers and stuff we haven't used in a
• 1:37:26
  while, and we came up with some weird rice queso Mexican dish
• 1:37:30
  thingy that we're going to make tonight.
• 1:37:31
  Not even thinking it was Cinco de Mayo today, so it should be
• 1:37:34

  Brett Norris, Brett Norris, Brett James Norris Q6W7O953-O
• 1:38:40
  Morning, Mr. Norris, Is there your name?
• 1:38:44
  Brett. Norris So did he execute a
• 1:38:47
  waiver of the bench trial, Lisa, are we giving them those the
• 1:38:54
  waivers of bench trial? Just can we?
• 1:38:57
  Just do a a quasi waiver just to see if she's shows up or
• 1:39:02
  cooperates. I think if we move it.
• 1:39:04
  That's why not need. It's a sleep full case.
• 1:39:07
  Why? Like literally she says that her
• 1:39:10
  sleep was. Full.
• 1:39:12
  I'm calling the prosecutor here, John, Lisa, out of the way.
• 1:39:17
  Lisa, are we giving them, are we giving them waivers of bench
• 1:39:21
  trial forms? Hold on one second.
• 1:39:23
  He's asking me a question. Yes, they are in the rooms.
• 1:39:28
  I need Miss Holloway and I need This is Mara.
• 1:39:32
  So your appearance. So Mr. Smith is here, his client
• 1:39:40
  is here. When they're going to request a
• 1:39:43
  bench trial, can you have them fill out that form, please
• 1:39:46
  waiver a bench trial. They should be in your in your
• 1:39:50
  correct. We've been we have a jury trial
• 1:39:52
  and then you have to make sure you have no objection.
• 1:39:55
  You have to tell me that on your form.
• 1:39:57
  No objection to bench trial. It's OK without doing it here.
• 1:40:01
  I'm just saying in the future doing the waiver of jury trial
• 1:40:03
  would help me a lot. So why are we rushing on this?
• 1:40:08
  Are we going to do another pre trial or what are we going to
• 1:40:11
  do? He's a reserve officer for
• 1:40:12
  Woodhaven man for here and this is Cpl. is now he also works for
• 1:40:17
  security. Cpl. is now been.
• 1:40:19
  Fact in he's. Going to lose his job once I get
• 1:40:22
  this thing straightened out. Given the circumstances of the
• 1:40:25
  facts of the case, I think an immediate best trial prosecutor
• 1:40:29
  will be in a position of contact and trying to get the person to
• 1:40:32
  come in and they don't show up. Just like the last case.
• 1:40:35
  What? Do you what do?
• 1:40:36
  You have you talked to the victim?
• 1:40:39
  This space, Your Honor. She just got back from.
• 1:40:42
  Vacation. So she just did not get a
• 1:40:45
  chance. I have not.
• 1:40:46
  No, just because I did just get back and.
• 1:40:48
  This was recently. And I do not recall right now
• 1:40:51
  if. Anybody in our office is at
• 1:40:52
  contact. Sir, if you waive your right to
• 1:40:54
  a jury trial and you're you're waiving the requirement 6 people
• 1:40:57
  being paid, although all six would have to agree that you're
• 1:40:59
  guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in order for you to be
• 1:41:01
  convicted. Do you understand that?
• 1:41:03
  Yes, I'm waiving your right to a trial by jury.
• 1:41:06
  You understand I will be the one who solely decide your guilt,
• 1:41:08
  for instance. Is that what you wish to do?
• 1:41:12
  Yes. Anybody force you to do that?
• 1:41:13
  No, Sir. All right, here's what I'm
• 1:41:15
  doing. I'm accepting the waiver.
• 1:41:16
  We're going to set a final pre trial in two weeks.
• 1:41:18
  That'll be May the 19th. Bench trial will follow in two
• 1:41:22
  weeks thereafter. What time am I doing my bench
• 1:41:25
  trial on whatever that would be? What would that be?
• 1:41:28
  The second Lisa. That would be June 2nd.

• 1:44:05
  Corporal Japaniac, do you have a case here?
• 1:44:08
  What? I'm not sure what you're waiting
• 1:44:09
  on. You've been on there all morning
• 1:44:12
  to see your lawyer. All right, just have a seat.
• 1:44:14
  We'll, we'll go off record here, OK.
• 1:44:18
  All righty, friends. Well, he's off record.
• 1:44:20
  Let's move along our channel's promise of 9 to 11% more.
• 1:44:24
  Judge Boyd. Let's go there I.
• 1:44:29
  Think Paul. Good morning.
• 1:44:37
  I'm doing great. How are you doing?
• 1:44:38
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 1:44:40
  All right. So I think we've come up with a
• 1:44:44
  plan to help you. And when I say we, I mean
• 1:44:47
  probation, your attorney and all of the medical personnel.
• 1:44:51
  So there's a couple of things that your attorney is going to
• 1:44:53
  want to go over with you today. And if you can talk to him about
• 1:44:58
  the information they're requesting, his brother may or
• 1:45:00
  may not have access to that or may have it because I think his
• 1:45:04
  brother may be his guardian, I'm not 100% sure.
• 1:45:08
  And so he may have that information I can check judge
• 1:45:12
  and if not I will contact the liaison and maybe you would just
• 1:45:16
  have this to see what we can do and.
• 1:45:17
  Hopefully we'll see. 3rd and phone.
• 1:45:19
  Back so I was trying to see if she's ever screened someone in
• 1:45:21
  class. And then we'd.
• 1:45:23
  Also have to check with us for you and see if Mr. Kane can be
• 1:45:25
  transported directly we. Can't be transported his.
• 1:45:29
  Brother or but. I feel we.
• 1:45:36
  OK. And then I don't know if the
• 1:45:39
  jail did any type of assessments, but.
• 1:45:44
  I think the. The most current and the one
• 1:45:46
  that they would want as it's asking for daily updates with
• 1:45:49
  the UHS to say the one giving him medication.
• 1:45:53
  All right, So maybe we'll try something, get some.
• 1:45:56
  OK. All right, Awesome.
• 1:45:58
  I'll check this. Oh, thank you.
• 1:46:00
  Well, thank you. And you're looking better, too.
• 1:46:05
  We're going to try to get you out as quickly as possible.
• 1:46:07
  OK. All right.
• 1:46:09
  All right. Thank you, Sir.
• 1:46:11
  I'll look in the I'll look in the probation file to see what
• 1:46:15
  we have, but. There are certain medical
• 1:46:25
  medical things that I would not be able to release unless I had
• 1:46:29
  some type of subpoena or court shoulders.
• 1:46:32
  OK. I'll do a court charter.
• 1:46:34
  I'll do that right now. Thank you.
• 1:46:36
  And then you'll get the release. So let me do that right now.
• 1:46:42
  All right? Thank you.
• 1:46:45
  All. Right, Mr. Sealoff, Are you
• 1:46:51
  ready? Yes, your Honor, we're ready.
• 1:46:54
  He wants to make an announcement to the court.
• 1:46:57
  All right, and what's your client's name?
• 1:47:00
  Eric Guzman. He has two charges, possession
• 1:47:05
  by a felon in a short. Case.
• 1:47:08

  Mr. Bates in cost #25 DCCR 0834, you're charged with a first
• 1:49:53
  degree felony offense of aggravated robbery from May 16th
• 1:49:57
  of 2025. And how do you plead to that
• 1:49:59
  charge? Guilty.
• 1:50:01
  Are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily, and are you
• 1:50:05
  pleading guilty because you actually did what they've
• 1:50:07
  charged you with? I have here on the tablet some
• 1:50:10
  documents that have your signature on them.
• 1:50:12
  But the State's marks exhibit #1 before you sign these, did you
• 1:50:16
  go over them with Mr. Bradford, the papers on the on the tablet?
• 1:50:20
  And do you fully understand those papers?
• 1:50:23
  And do you understand if I follow the agreement that you've
• 1:50:26
  made with the District Attorney that you'll be waiving or giving
• 1:50:29
  up any right to appeal? Do you also understand, if
• 1:50:33
  you're not AUS citizen, that a plea of guilty or no contest may
• 1:50:36
  result in your deportation, exclusion from admission to the
• 1:50:39
  country, or denial of naturalization under federal
• 1:50:42
  law? Do you understand that as well?
• 1:50:44
  State tenders #1 no objections. It's admitted.
• 1:50:47
  Is there any evidence that Mister Bates is not competent?
• 1:50:49
  No, ma'am. All right, Sir, I'm going to
• 1:50:51
  find that you entered your plea of guilty freely and
• 1:50:53
  voluntarily. Find that you're mentally
• 1:50:55
  competent and you understand the nature and the consequences of
• 1:50:58
  your plea. Find sufficient evidence to find
• 1:51:01
  you guilty and at this time finds you guilty of the first
• 1:51:03
  degree felony offense of aggravated robbery.
• 1:51:06
  Sentence you in accordance with your agreement to a term of 18
• 1:51:09
  years in the institutional division of the Texas Department
• 1:51:12
  of Corrections. You will receive credit on that
• 1:51:15
  sentence for any time that you've been in custody that the
• 1:51:17
  law gives you the right to receive.
• 1:51:19
  I am making an affirmative finding of a deadly weapon.
• 1:51:23
  I'm handing you now the trial court certification.
• 1:51:26
  This shows that this was an agreement that I followed and so
• 1:51:29
  you've waived your right to appeal.
• 1:51:31
  I've also handed you a written admonishment regarding your
• 1:51:34
  ineligibility to possess a firearm or ammunition.
• 1:51:38
  Because of the judgment entered against you, you're ineligible
• 1:51:41
  under Texas law to possess a firearm or or ammunition.
• 1:51:45
  Possession of a firearm or ammunition could lead to charges
• 1:51:47
  against you. If you have questions about the
• 1:51:50
  laws that make you ineligible to possess a firearm or ammunition,
• 1:51:54
  or about how long that lasts, you can talk to Mr. Radford.
• 1:51:57
  And I'm going to sign a dismissal in clause #25 DCCR
• 1:52:01
  1698 as part of that agreement. All right.
• 1:52:03
  Good luck to you, Sir. You go back with the payload.
• 1:52:06
  Thank you, Sticky. I just found another one.
• 1:52:11
  Mr. Nichols. Mr. Burbank has a Raul Karina.
• 1:52:15
  We didn't bring him over. Mr. Burbank is still in trial,
• 1:52:18
  correct. And he announced that he can be
• 1:52:20
  ready if it is set at the top. And what is your announcement?
• 1:52:25
  Understanding that Mister has been in trial.
• 1:52:28
  And court has other stuff. It's a kid case in custody, so
• 1:52:32
  it might be up there. We'll see.
• 1:52:34
  They've got to be close over there, I would think, but we'll
• 1:52:37
  see. Do something else.

  from October 23rd of 2025. And how do you plead to that
• 1:53:12
  charge? And are you pleading guilty
• 1:53:15
  freely that I. Didn't I don't know if I lesser
• 1:53:18
  included. I said that.

  I'm sorry, I didn't know if I heard it.
• 1:53:21
  Apologize. Did I say it?

  I said it. Yeah, you said it.
• 1:53:24
  OK. Thank you.
• 1:53:26
  OK. He's paying attention.

  Sorry. And are you pleading guilty
• 1:53:30
  freely and voluntarily to the lesser included offensive
• 1:53:33
  robbery? Yes, ma'am.
• 1:53:34
  And are you pleading guilty because you actually did what
• 1:53:36
  they charged you with? Yes, ma'am.
• 1:53:38
  I have here on the tablet some documents that have your
• 1:53:40
  signature on them that the state has marked as exhibit #1.
• 1:53:44
  Before you sign these, did you go over them with Mr. Parker?
• 1:53:48
  Do you fully understand them? And do you understand if I
• 1:53:51
  follow the agreement that you've made with the District Attorney
• 1:53:54
  that you'll be waiting or giving up any right to appeal?
• 1:53:57
  Yes, ma'am. Do you also understand if you're
• 1:53:59
  not AUS citizen, that a plea of guilty or no contest may result
• 1:54:02
  in your deportation, exclusion from admission to the country,
• 1:54:06
  or denial of naturalization under federal?
• 1:54:08
  Law. Yes, ma'am.
• 1:54:09
  State tenders #1 No. Objection.
• 1:54:11
  It's admitted. Is there any evidence that
• 1:54:12
  Mister Johnson's not competent? All right, Sir, I'm going to
• 1:54:16
  find that you entered your plea of guilty freely and
• 1:54:18
  voluntarily. Find that you're mentally
• 1:54:20
  competent and you understand the nature and the consequences of
• 1:54:23
  your plea. Find sufficient evidence to find
• 1:54:26
  you guilty and at this time find you guilty of the second degree
• 1:54:28
  felony offensive robbery sentence.
• 1:54:30
  You in accordance with your agreement to a term of 10 years
• 1:54:33
  in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of
• 1:54:36
  Corrections, you will receive credit on that sentence for any
• 1:54:39
  time that you've been in custody that the law gives you the right
• 1:54:42
  to receive. There will be an affirmative
• 1:54:44
  finding of a deadly weapon. It's a knife.
• 1:54:48
  And also I'm handing you the trial court certification that
• 1:54:51
  shows this was an agreement that I followed.
• 1:54:53
  And so you've waived your right to appeal.
• 1:54:56
  I have also handed you a written admonishment regarding your
• 1:54:58
  ineligibility to possess a firearm or ammunition.
• 1:55:02
  Because of the judgment entered against you, you're ineligible
• 1:55:04
  under Texas law to possess a firearm or ammunition.
• 1:55:08
  Possession of a firearm or ammunition could lead to charges
• 1:55:10
  against you. If you have questions about the
• 1:55:13
  laws that make you ineligible to possess a firearm or ammunition,
• 1:55:16
  or about how long that lasts, you can talk with Mr. Parker.
• 1:55:19
  Good luck to you, Sir. You can.

  #2 on there about the 30th day of January, 2026, in Bay County,
• 1:57:27
  Texas. The defendant Desiree Garza did
• 1:57:29
  then and there failed to submit drug testes as directed by the
• 1:57:32
  court Court officer, supervision officer and or is the authorized
• 1:57:36
  agent of the court in violation too?
• 1:57:38
  How do you plead to that? State will waiver me.
• 1:57:40
  Any objection to the waivers? No objections.
• 1:57:43
  All right. And that's four number twos.
• 1:57:47
  All right. Did you understand by pleading
• 1:57:48
  true to violations 222 and two, the court can find it true.
• 1:57:52
  Grant the motion, find your guilty and sentence you up to 20
• 1:57:54
  years in prison and up to $10,000 fine.
• 1:57:58
  Knowing that, do you still wish to plead true or we'll find 222
• 1:58:03
  and two true? Is there a proposed agreement?
• 1:58:05
  Yes, there's the. Proposed agreement is to grant
• 1:58:07
  state's motion and turn the dedication of guilt.
• 1:58:10
  Revoke incentives for years and you'll also six EF 1457.
• 1:58:16
  Hi. Did she do any inpatient
• 1:58:17
  treatment? She did it, George.
• 1:58:19
  All right. So why is she not testing?
• 1:58:22
  This is her third MTR so can somebody explain?
• 1:58:26
  To me. All right, if you want to
• 1:58:28
  explain, you'll have to raise your hand and I'll take you
• 1:58:32
  under you. Do you solemnly swear, Affirm.
• 1:58:34
  The testimony you give will be the truth and nothing but the
• 1:58:37
  truth so help you God. All right, you can lower your
• 1:58:39
  hand. State your name for the record.
• 1:58:41
  That's Jerry Garza. Miss Garza, the judge asked the
• 1:58:43
  question why you were not submitting to the US.
• 1:58:45
  Can you actually judge why you're not submitting to the
• 1:58:47
  news or why you misconnect? What happened in life?
• 1:58:49
  Why that happened? I was going.
• 1:58:51
  Through a lot at the time and I knew I was dirty.
• 1:58:55
  And. I'm not going.
• 1:58:56
  To that I knew I was dirty yet. So that still doesn't explain
• 1:59:00
  why you didn't report because you have responsibilities so you
• 1:59:05
  were just not following through on anything.
• 1:59:09
  And if you've been in inpatient treatment, they've talked to you
• 1:59:13
  about what you need to do in order to stay clean and sudden
• 1:59:15
  you just choose not to do that. So I don't know why I should
• 1:59:19
  give you 4 years and why it shouldn't be more, but does
• 1:59:24
  anybody have an answer for me? Because I understand the court's
• 1:59:27
  position, she has been a safety, There's been some expense that
• 1:59:30
  the state has put out there for her rehab.
• 1:59:32
  Obviously addition's a difficult thing people deal with and she
• 1:59:35
  is something she has dealt with. One of the recommendations in
• 1:59:40
  the probation officers file was revocation of courts as well as
• 1:59:44
  safety special needs. I guess that's a separate safety
• 1:59:48
  program from what she's done before.
• 1:59:51
  I've explained to her judge that on a revocation, she's going to
• 1:59:54
  repeat it from here and out. She'll have APDC trip.
• 1:59:57
  She's not over this trouble again.
• 1:59:59
  She's assured me that she has a daughter that started as in the
• 2:00:03
  military has got her to graduate at this boot camp on the scene.
• 2:00:06
  She wants to prep what's behind her.
• 2:00:09
  Obviously her tracker is not really showing that she's
• 2:00:11
  capable of doing that as of yet. We understand that, Judge.
• 2:00:13
  We're asking the court to consider, you know, the four
• 2:00:16
  years to see there's a lot of bite to that because she will be
• 2:00:20
  a convicted felon now. She understands that.
• 2:00:22
  So she's trying to put this behind as quick as she can move
• 2:00:25
  forward in a positive threat. Is this her first?
• 2:00:29
  Felony. And the reason why I asked that
• 2:00:31
  because the plea bargain agreement, the state was silent
• 2:00:36
  on your application and so the court gave you deferred
• 2:00:40
  adjudication and at that time they were asking that you be
• 2:00:44
  sentenced to two years in the prison.
• 2:00:46
  It's. Going to be a comedy holder.
• 2:00:47
  There have several arrests. All right, this is what the
• 2:00:51
  court is going to do. The court is going to grant the
• 2:00:53
  motion, find you guilty of revoke, sentence you to five
• 2:00:55
  years in the prison, give you credit for any time served.
• 2:00:58
  There's to be no unsupervised contact with minors, no residing
• 2:01:02
  in households with minors, therapeutic community and I will
• 2:01:06
  give you credit for any successful inpatient treatment
• 2:01:12
  completion. Thank you, Judge all.
• 2:01:14
  Right. Did you?
• 2:01:15
  Yes. She has a monitor on her ankles.
• 2:01:17
  Well still I think the court ordered it from what she shared
• 2:01:20
  with me is RMS monitor. They got her have a, they have
• 2:01:24
  her with a monitor and while she's at the jail.
• 2:01:27
  Yes, and I've never encountered that before, Judge, But the
• 2:01:29
  deputies told me that it happens more often than you thought.
• 2:01:32
  I thought I could just call retrial GPS and have them come
• 2:01:35
  removed because maybe they didn't need a monitor for
• 2:01:37
  someone else yet, but she's sharing with me that is actually
• 2:01:40
  through, which I think is something you might have ordered
• 2:01:42
  on her last MTR. OK.
• 2:01:44
  She she you had ordered it when I got released from say P like 3
• 2:01:49
  apps. All right, Yes, Miss Abrams.
• 2:01:52
  Did we order a monitor for her? Are they letting you?
• 2:01:56
  Are they letting you charge the monitor at the jail?
• 2:01:58
  All right, All right. I'll order removal of the
• 2:02:02
  monitor. All right, Did you review the
• 2:02:05
  document entitled trial court certification or defendants
• 2:02:07
  rights to appeal with your attorney?
• 2:02:09
  Did you understand it and sign it?
• 2:02:10
  You have a limited right to appeal.
• 2:02:12
  That right to appeal is as it relates to the allegations in
• 2:02:15
  the motion, not the fact that you're on deferred adjudication.
• 2:02:17
  Because this is a felony conviction.
• 2:02:19
  You're not allowed to own or possess any weapons or
• 2:02:22
  ammunition. If you have a question about
• 2:02:24
  what that is, you will need to speak to an attorney.
• 2:02:27
  Do you understand? And also you all are taking
• 2:02:31
  something in consideration, correct?
• 2:02:33
  Yes Sir, I emailed the. NT All right, so and also for
• 2:02:36
  the record, taking in consideration 2026 PF 14573 All
• 2:02:42
  right, we can go off the record. Here's the thing.
• 2:02:44
  If you don't change your life, you know what's going to end up
• 2:02:46
  happening. You're going to end up going
• 2:02:49
  back and forth to prison or you may end up somebody identifying
• 2:02:53
  your body because you never know what you're going to get when
• 2:02:56
  you're taking drugs, when you're released from.
• 2:02:58
  Take advantage of the therapeutic community.
• 2:03:01
  A therapeutic community doesn't increase the time you're in
• 2:03:04
  custody, but it's designed to help you.
• 2:03:09
  So what will end up happening? I've ordered it.
• 2:03:12
  They're going to see it on the judgment, but I don't have
• 2:03:14
  jurisdiction to force you into that program, so you're going to
• 2:03:17
  have to ask for it as well. When you're released from
• 2:03:20
  prison, the first thing you need to do go to lifetime recovery,
• 2:03:25
  go to felony drug court. And This is why I'm suggesting
• 2:03:28
  you go to felony drug court. Felony drug court will have all
• 2:03:31
  the resources for you to get you in an inpatient treatment
• 2:03:35
  facility. Do you understand?
• 2:03:37
  Yes. All right, I don't want to read
• 2:03:38
  about you on the news. OK.
• 2:03:40
  All right, Good luck to you. Baby schools.
• 2:03:43
  Church. Yes.
• 2:03:44
  Who's next? My Dear Page 6 Linda Fargo.
• 2:03:51
  Linda Esparza. Yes, I was.
• 2:03:57
  Going to represent Miss Linda and Barbara back in November.
• 2:03:59
  I had not seen her and it's my understanding she picked up a
• 2:04:02
  new case in March. I was under the understanding
• 2:04:06
  she was out on bond. She is not.
• 2:04:07
  She's incarcerated. And so they were going to bring
• 2:04:09
  her up and she just had a medical episode.
• 2:04:12
  So she's on her way to the hospital.
• 2:04:13
  I was asking for a a reset all. Right, Miss Ferguson, on this
• 2:04:18
  case, I'm going to give you a date in June.
• 2:04:21
  But if you want her brought back sooner or you think she can be
• 2:04:25
  brought back sooner, just let us know.
• 2:04:26
  I'm going to put it at the end of June.
• 2:04:28
  That clears me of everything and I'll try to get a hold of her
• 2:04:31
  when she's out. Of the house, Miss Ferguson, End
• 2:04:33
  of June, June 29th. All right.
• 2:04:35
  June 29th. Is that a good date for you?
• 2:04:40
  Yes, Your Honor, Perfect. All right, we'll see you back
• 2:04:41
  then. Thank you.
• 2:04:42
  You're welcome. Yes.
• 2:04:44
  I bet you're back. Thank.
• 2:04:48
  You. I'm working on 2 please.
• 2:04:51
  All right. Thank you.
• 2:04:52
  You said June 29th, right? Yes, Sir.
• 2:04:55
  Thanks. All righty, friends, we'll
• 2:05:01
  continue to dance around Texas. Let's go back to Judge West.
• 2:05:05
  Joshua Smith And this is 25 DCCR 1439.
• 2:05:10
  And Mr. Smith, in that case you're charged with the first
• 2:05:12
  degree felony offense of fraudulent use or possession of
• 2:05:15
  identifying information. 50 or more, and that is from August
• 2:05:21
  20th of 2025. What that means, Sir, is that if
• 2:05:25
  you go to trial and you're found guilty, the range of punishment
• 2:05:28
  would be between five years and up to 99 years or life in
• 2:05:31
  prison. Do you understand, and I have
• 2:05:34
  here on the tablet a plea bargain rejection that you've
• 2:05:36
  signed with Mr. Lewis that shows that the state's attorney has
• 2:05:40
  made an offer. If you wanted to enter a plea of
• 2:05:42
  guilty for a cap of 10 years in prison, which means you would be
• 2:05:47
  leaving your punishment up to me, I could give you 10 years, I
• 2:05:50
  could give you less. It would all depend on the
• 2:05:51
  information that was brought to me at a sentencing hearing.
• 2:05:54
  You have every right to reject that and have a jury decide if
• 2:05:57
  you're guilty or not. And then if they find you
• 2:05:59
  guilty, you could leave your punishment up to that jury.
• 2:06:02
  I just want to make sure you understand what the possible
• 2:06:04
  consequences are if you go to trial and what your options are.
• 2:06:07
  And do you understand all of that and do you want to reject
• 2:06:10
  that offer and have your case set for trial?
• 2:06:12
  All right, we'll get that done. And Mr. Smith, Mr. Lewis has
• 2:06:15
  been appointed to represent you at this point.
• 2:06:18
  He's one of the attorneys who handles a lot of cases for me as
• 2:06:20
  a court appointed attorney. With your permission, I can
• 2:06:23
  release him and appoint another attorney today who could begin
• 2:06:26
  preparation for trial a little quicker.
• 2:06:28
  Is that OK with you? You'll keep Mr. Lewis.
• 2:06:31
  All right, Mr. Lewis, we'll begin preparation for trial
• 2:06:33
  then. All right, we'll see you back
• 2:06:34
  And Hakeem Thomas. Mr. Lewis.
• 2:06:38
  Good morning, Sir. Are you hooking Thomas?
• 2:06:41
  Yes or no? And this is 25 VCCR 0843.
• 2:06:44
  Mr. Thomas is charged with aggravated robbery.
• 2:06:47
  And Mr. Lewis, what is the announcement?
• 2:06:50
  Yes, there should be a rejection that's.
• 2:06:52
  That's been filed I've. Been up here?
• 2:06:54
  I hadn't. Had a chance to send it.
• 2:06:55
  OK, just I need to hold that one for just a minute until it comes
• 2:06:59
  through. I'll take care of it in just a
• 2:07:01
  minute. Mr. Rafford?
• 2:07:03
  You have a Jacobean Dorsey. Oh, did I lose Mr. Rafford?
• 2:07:08
  Hold on that one. I'm here, Judge.
• 2:07:10
  Oh, OK, go. Ahead so I have one we need to
• 2:07:13
  visit about, not when when everything is muted.
• 2:07:16
  On the docket today? Yes, ma'am.
• 2:07:18
  OK. Mr. Fleming's.
• 2:07:20
  I don't have a Mr. Fleming. 'S on the.
• 2:07:22
  It's not on to 1000. OK, Right Sir, Are you at the
• 2:07:25
  Kobe and Dorsey? Yes, ma'am.
• 2:07:27
  And this is 25 DCCR 1896. Mr. Dorsey is charged with
• 2:07:31
  manslaughter. And what is the announcement?
• 2:07:34
  Judge Mr. Dorsey was recently bench warranted from TDC.
• 2:07:39
  I have visited with him initially.
• 2:07:41
  I need to get the media, and Mr. Coleman and I have had some
• 2:07:45
  initial plea bargain discussions, but I'd like a
• 2:07:47
  little more time so that I can get the media, the surveillance
• 2:07:50
  videos and go over them with Mr. Dorsey.
• 2:07:52
  No objection, Judge. All right, so Mr. Dorsey, I'll
• 2:07:54
  just do a normal reset. That way Mr. Rapper can get out
• 2:07:57
  there, go over everything that the state has, what their offer
• 2:07:59
  is, and if you guys can work it out, great.
• 2:08:01
  If not, we'll know what we need to do with that next court date.
• 2:08:03
  All right, you go back to the bailiff.
• 2:08:05
  Thank you. Mr. Fleming.
• 2:08:06
  I don't know anything about it. It's not on my docket.
• 2:08:09
  Mr. Reynolds on Carl Lidet, good morning.
• 2:08:12
  Good morning. Good.
• 2:08:13
  Morning. Excuse.
• 2:08:14
  Yes, thank you. Good morning.
• 2:08:16
  Are you Carl Lidette and this is 25 DCCR 0579 and Mr. Lidette is
• 2:08:22
  charged with the aggravated sexual assault of a child.
• 2:08:24
  And Mr. Reynolds, what is the announcement?
• 2:08:27
  Judge to believe he's previously entered a rejection of 30 years.
• 2:08:32
  Yes, he'll stand by that. He's asking for a trial.
• 2:08:35
  I am the 4th lawyer on this case and it's been going on for over
• 2:08:39
  a year. It has.
• 2:08:41
  We'd ask if it be expedited. There's some media at the DA's
• 2:08:44
  office, hopefully, if I could certainly be able for the next
• 2:08:47
  process. Sounds good.
• 2:08:49
  We'll get it set for trial. Nothing's changed.
• 2:08:51
  Mr. Lidette, with regard. You wanted to go forward with
• 2:08:53
  trial, correct? And so if you need, if one of
• 2:08:56
  those things is the guard house and y'all need to watch that
• 2:09:00
  with Mr. Lidette, get with Miss Holmes and she can schedule to
• 2:09:04
  have Mr. Lidette brought over. You guys can use the jury room
• 2:09:07
  here. The state can bring down that
• 2:09:09
  video since you're not to take it and y'all can watch it here
• 2:09:13
  in the jury room. But in the next couple of weeks
• 2:09:17
  just get with her and she'll schedule that to have them
• 2:09:18
  brought over. All right, all right.
• 2:09:20
  You can go back with the bailiff.
• 2:09:22
  Thank you. Yes, ma'am, you can judge.
• 2:09:24
  Yes, that's my. Own case.
• 2:09:25
  Yes, thank you. Have a good day, Mr. Wilkerson
• 2:09:28
  on Tyree Hartley. Hartley, Good morning.
• 2:09:35
  Morning, Sir. Are you Tyree Hartley?
• 2:09:37
  This is 25 BCCR 0842. Mr. Hartley's charged with
• 2:09:42
  aggravated robbery. And what is the announcement?
• 2:09:45
  Judge, it's going to be a trial case.
• 2:09:47
  If you recall, we were waiting on some additional discovery
• 2:09:52
  materials from last time. I did receive some additional
• 2:09:55
  materials. I believe the state is still
• 2:09:57
  working to secure the videos from Chambers County related to
• 2:10:03
  the actual stop, but again, similar to last.
• 2:10:09
  Time I I'm. I don't think it's.
• 2:10:11
  Going. It's going to change anything.
• 2:10:13
  So it looks like the previous offer, Mr. Hartley, we've
• 2:10:17
  already gone over that. If you're found guilty, you
• 2:10:19
  would be considered a habitual offender with those prior
• 2:10:21
  convictions are true, which would mean a minimum 25 years.
• 2:10:25
  It looks like the offer was for 20 years on count 1.
• 2:10:29
  And you are ready to go forward with trial, is that correct?
• 2:10:32
  OK, we'll get it set on the trial docket.
• 2:10:34
  Obviously, the quicker I know you're waiting on them, Mr.
• 2:10:37
  Nichols. But if you'll let them know it's
• 2:10:39
  now in the trial docket, it'll be important to get that as
• 2:10:41
  quickly as possible. Yeah, sure.
• 2:10:43
  All right. Thanks, y'all.
• 2:10:43
  You can go back with Payless. Thank you, Judge.
• 2:10:46
  Thank you. And then you've got Don Jones.
• 2:10:48
  Yes, Sir, yes. Ma'am, can we?
• 2:10:49
  Hold that one. Sure, that's fine.
• 2:10:51
  Thanks. That goes on.
• 2:10:55
  I think this is one of the Jon Jones.
• 2:11:00
  Yeah, there's yeah, this one that.
• 2:11:09
  She's muted, friends. We might.
• 2:11:12
  Well, let's wait a minute, see if she unmutes.
• 2:11:15
  All right. Are you here Roberto Chavez?
• 2:11:17
  And this is 25 DCCR 0559. Mr. Chavez is charged with
• 2:11:22
  deadly conduct, discharging a firearm.
• 2:11:24
  And what is the announcement, Your Honor?
• 2:11:26
  We were able to meet. We had some trouble.
• 2:11:29
  We tried to meet here, found out he was no longer at the unit at
• 2:11:34
  LaSalle. He was now in our county court.
• 2:11:39
  So then we did a second meeting last week at the county court,
• 2:11:43
  went over every bit of his media and paper discovery.
• 2:11:48
  He was hoping that the offer would come down just a little
• 2:11:52
  bit. It has not.
• 2:11:53
  I could not get Miss Birch here today, so I can't explain all of
• 2:11:57
  that to him in detail, but I think we might get close to an
• 2:12:03
  agreement at the next setting. OK.
• 2:12:05
  And it could be a quick setting. OK Yeah.
• 2:12:07
  And if you have trouble with her, we can get someone else
• 2:12:09
  here. Just let us know.
• 2:12:10
  And so we'll reset. Let's just do maybe three weeks
• 2:12:14
  on that, and that way we'll get somebody here and we'll have an
• 2:12:19
  interpreter. OK.
• 2:12:21
  You can go back with the bailiff.
• 2:12:22
  Thank you. Thank you very much.
• 2:12:24
  Yes, ma'am. Appreciate all.
• 2:12:25
  Miss Holmes, you have Thorawayne fields.
• 2:12:28
  You still have something. I'm missing.
• 2:12:30
  Oh, OK. Oh, that's right.
• 2:12:32
  The rejection. Good morning.
• 2:12:34
  Good morning. How are you?
• 2:12:36
  He's still not OK. He's done here.
• 2:12:43
  OK. He's going to get mad because
• 2:12:45
  he's not answering. All right, this is pause number
• 2:12:53
  1829467 on their Wayne Fields. I'm going to take judicial
• 2:12:57
  notice of the court's file and that Mister Fields has filed a
• 2:13:03
  waiver of appearance and trial by jury dated April 28th of
• 2:13:08
  2026. He is currently in state custody
• 2:13:13
  based on a competency. Him not achieving competency
• 2:13:19
  yet. Miss Holmes, do you join in Mr.
• 2:13:23
  Fields waiver of his right for a trial and to be here?
• 2:13:25
  Yeah, sure. All right, so then we'll go
• 2:13:27
  forward. I'm also going to take judicial
• 2:13:29
  notice of the examination report that I received from the Rust
• 2:13:35
  State Hospital dated April 8th of 2026.
• 2:13:39
  That's an 18 page document. It's the trial competency
• 2:13:44
  evaluation report which was done by the evaluator, Dr. Kan Kan
• 2:13:52
  goes through everything that she reviewed as well as medications
• 2:13:59
  and the fact and her finding also is that he is still not
• 2:14:06
  competent to stand trial and requires ongoing hospitalization
• 2:14:11
  to manage his risk to himself and others.
• 2:14:14
  Also, I have physician certificate of medical
• 2:14:17
  examination for mental illness from a doctor Sys TSYSS.
• 2:14:23
  The finding in that report is that Mister Fields is mentally
• 2:14:29
  ill and suffering severe and abnormal mental, emotional,
• 2:14:32
  physical distress, and that further inpatient treatment
• 2:14:39
  would be required for additional competency restoration attempts.
• 2:14:44
  There is a second physician certificate of IT, Medical
• 2:14:47
  Examination for Mental Illness prepared by Doctor Owen OUAN.
• 2:14:54
  They all have such difficult names.
• 2:14:56
  And that has that same finding that Mister Fields is currently
• 2:15:02
  mentally ill and also suffering severe and abnormal mental,
• 2:15:05
  emotional, physical distress, and that further inpatient
• 2:15:09
  treatment would be required for competency restoration.
• 2:15:12
  OK, that's it. Is there any other evidence with
• 2:15:14
  regard to competency? And.
• 2:15:17
  At this time based on the two physicians examinations for
• 2:15:21
  mental ill criminal illness as well as the trial competency
• 2:15:26
  evaluation report that Mister Fields is still not competent to
• 2:15:30
  strength stand trial. Further inpatient treatment is
• 2:15:33
  warranted for competency restoration.
• 2:15:36
  Going to order him to remain in the appropriate facility for a
• 2:15:42
  period of not to exceed one year for competency restoration and
• 2:15:46
  we will await any report at that time.
• 2:15:51
  I would probably need to start looking at the dates maybe
• 2:15:55
  unless. I'll look at that this week,
• 2:15:57
  Your Honor. It's a second degree though.
• 2:15:59
  I guess so. Well, it's enhanced to a
• 2:16:01
  secondary as indicted. It's a third, I believe.
• 2:16:05
  OK. And if if we are, if we're going
• 2:16:09
  to consider dismissal, want to make sure something's in place
• 2:16:12
  civilly? Yeah, if you're trying to start
• 2:16:15
  taking a look at, I think we're just a year out from the 10
• 2:16:17
  years, that's correct. And so by the next setting next
• 2:16:22
  year, we'll need to have that looked at, certainly.
• 2:16:24
  All right. Thank you.
• 2:16:25
  This Holmes on Michael Kell. All righty friends, let's go
• 2:16:29
  back to Judge Boyd's court and we will finish off our day
• 2:16:33
  there. State versus Steven Lamon, Can I
• 2:16:36
  have parties announced? Renee Munoz on behalf of Mr.
• 2:16:39
  Lemon. And are you Mr. Lemon?
• 2:16:41
  Yes, ma'am. Council, have you received all
• 2:16:43
  discovery? Did you review it with your
• 2:16:44
  client? Yes, your Honor.
• 2:16:45
  Mr. Lemon, did you review the application for community
• 2:16:48
  supervision with your attorney? Did you understand it?
• 2:16:50
  Yes. John, did you review the true
• 2:16:52
  bill of indictment with your attorney?
• 2:16:53
  Did you understand it? Yes, Sir.
• 2:16:55
  Council, do you waive the reading of the indictment?
• 2:16:57
  Yes. Judge State, are you proceeding
• 2:16:59
  on the indictment as presented? What we'll find at the state is
• 2:17:03
  in compliance with discovery. Mr. Lamon, did you review the
• 2:17:07
  court admonishments with your attorney?
• 2:17:08
  Did you understand it and sign it in all the appropriate
• 2:17:11
  places? You're charged with driving
• 2:17:13
  while intoxicated, third or more.
• 2:17:15
  That's a third degree felony. Range of punishment is anywhere
• 2:17:18
  from 2 to 10 years in prison and up to $10,000 fine.
• 2:17:22
  If you have a plea with the state, the court does not have
• 2:17:24
  to follow your plea. If the court does not follow
• 2:17:26
  your plea and gives you more than you bargained for, the fact
• 2:17:29
  that you entered A plea will not be used against you and you will
• 2:17:31
  be allowed to withdraw your plea.
• 2:17:33
  You have a right to jury trial, a right for you or your attorney
• 2:17:36
  to cross examine and confront any witnesses.
• 2:17:39
  The state, we're calling the right to remain silent.
• 2:17:42
  By entering this plea, you're giving up those rights.
• 2:17:44
  Did you intend to give up those rights and enter into a plea in
• 2:17:47
  this case? Yes.
• 2:17:49
  Your Honor. Counsel, has your client been
• 2:17:51
  able to provide you with any defenses?
• 2:17:53
  Yes, Josh, do you believe he has a rational as well as a factual
• 2:17:57
  understanding of the charges against him?
• 2:17:59
  That is correct. Do you believe he's currently
• 2:18:01
  competent and was legally sane at the time of the offense?
• 2:18:05
  Mr. Lemone, has anyone threatened you, coerced you, or
• 2:18:08
  placed you in fear to get you to enter this plea?
• 2:18:11
  Anyone promise you anything other than the plea?
• 2:18:14
  Are you satisfied with the way you've been represented?
• 2:18:18
  If you're not AUS citizen by entering this plea, you will be
• 2:18:22
  deported, denied naturalization and re entry.
• 2:18:24
  Did you understand? Court will find that defendant
• 2:18:28
  has known only and voluntarily waived his right to jury trial.
• 2:18:31
  Did you review the plea bargain page with your attorney?
• 2:18:34
  Did you understand it? According to the plea,
• 2:18:37
  punishment is to be assessed at eight years in the prison.
• 2:18:40
  There's a $0.00 fine. The state is recommending
• 2:18:44
  community supervision. This is Ronnie concurrent with
• 2:18:47
  2025 CR 007431, restitution if any, and two year driver license
• 2:18:56
  suspension or affidavit of non driving.
• 2:18:58
  Did you understand that to be your plea defense?
• 2:19:01
  State, did you review the waiver of appeal paragraph with your
• 2:19:04
  attorney? Did you understand it and sign
• 2:19:06
  it in both places? By signing that, you're waiving
• 2:19:09
  your right to appeal. The only items that can be
• 2:19:11
  appealed are written pretrial motions that have been filed,
• 2:19:13
  heard and ruled upon by the court.
• 2:19:15
  Did you understand any such motions outside the agreement?
• 2:19:19
  The state is requesting that your community supervision be
• 2:19:21
  for a term of five years. There'll be a TAP evaluation,
• 2:19:24
  200 hours community service restitution, 10 days in the Bear
• 2:19:28
  County Jail, participation in the felony drug court, DWI
• 2:19:32
  intervention, VIP live and ignition interlocked for half
• 2:19:35
  the term. Did you understand those were
• 2:19:37
  recommendations from the state and the court does not have to
• 2:19:39
  follow those recommendations? So the offense, how do you
• 2:19:43
  plead? Guilty, not guilty or no
• 2:19:44
  contest, State any evidence, no objection.
• 2:19:48
  All right. Did you review the waiver and
• 2:19:49
  stipulations with your attorney? Did you understand it and sign
• 2:19:52
  it in all the appropriate places?
• 2:19:54
  Again, did you understand you have a right to jury trial, a
• 2:19:57
  right for you or your attorney to cross examine and confront
• 2:20:00
  any witnesses the state would call, and the right to remain
• 2:20:02
  silent? Did you understand that today
• 2:20:04
  the State will be presenting evidence in the form of
• 2:20:06
  witnesses, statements and police report courts and most
• 2:20:09
  importantly, there'll be no live testimony.
• 2:20:12
  Did you understand Court will find that Defendant has
• 2:20:14
  knowingly, involuntarily waived and consented to stipulation of
• 2:20:18
  testimony and stipulations. Court will accept into evidence
• 2:20:22
  State's exhibits, one in attachments and review the same.
• 2:20:25
  All right, After reviewing State's exhibits one in
• 2:20:27
  attachments, the court will find there's sufficient evidence to
• 2:20:29
  find you guilty. The court will find you guilty.
• 2:20:31
  Are we proceeding with sentencing?
• 2:20:33
  Yes. Wrong.
• 2:20:34
  And I'm assuming he's already been accepted into felony drug
• 2:20:36
  court. He has judged in that case that
• 2:20:38
  is to run concurrent is. Also, All right, so here's the
• 2:20:42
  thing, and I know I probably told this to you before when you
• 2:20:46
  were placed on probation, you can't drink alcohol, period.
• 2:20:49
  And if you continue the way you are, one, you're going to end up
• 2:20:52
  destroying your liver. And then you're going to be on
• 2:20:56
  some site asking for somebody to donate a liver.
• 2:21:01
  You're going to destroy your kidneys or you may end up
• 2:21:04
  killing someone. You understand, and I understand
• 2:21:07
  that you have military service, but any issues that you have
• 2:21:13
  that's related to that, you're going to have to start
• 2:21:15
  addressing those and not through alcohol because otherwise it's
• 2:21:18
  not going to end well, you understand?
• 2:21:20
  All right, this is what the court will do.
• 2:21:23
  The court is going to send in to you, as previously stated, the
• 2:21:25
  court will state you maybe excuse.
• 2:21:27
  As previously stated, the court is going to find you guilty.
• 2:21:30
  The court is going to sentence you to 8 years in the prison.
• 2:21:33
  Suspended and probated for five years.
• 2:21:35
  There should be regular random UAS, regular reporting by Zoom
• 2:21:41
  or in person. Proof of employment within 45
• 2:21:45
  days of release. No employment as a home health
• 2:21:49
  care provider or with minors. He's to remain in custody
• 2:21:55
  counsel until released by felony drug court.
• 2:21:59
  Yes, you are. There's to be a two year license
• 2:22:02
  suspension. This is around concurrent with
• 2:22:05
  2025 CR 007431200 hours of community service restitution.
• 2:22:14
  I'm going to deduct an hour for every sober support meeting
• 2:22:18
  that's completed. Field visits one time per month
• 2:22:22
  until further notice. DWI intervention, DWI education
• 2:22:28
  VIP live restitution, if any, to Paul Sparks, Miss Ferguson.
• 2:22:37
  I need a restitution date. State how long will it take to
• 2:22:40
  get restitution? But two weeks.
• 2:22:42
  Is fine. All right.
• 2:22:44
  Can you set it 3 weeks, right? That'll be May 26th for the
• 2:22:50
  restitution hearing. And I assume they said in here
• 2:22:55
  that they would allow an affidavit of non driving.
• 2:22:58
  But what I'm going to tell you if there, if you have access to
• 2:23:02
  any vehicles like it's in your parking lot, I don't care if
• 2:23:05
  it's if it's somebody you're living with and it's their
• 2:23:08
  vehicle, then for the court you have access to that vehicle and
• 2:23:11
  that vehicle will need ignition and a lot, you understand.
• 2:23:14
  All. Right, so.
• 2:23:17
  One quick question regarding the restitution hearing, if he is in
• 2:23:20
  an inpatient facility, can he appear through Zoom?
• 2:23:23
  Yes so that's ignition interlock full term or affidavit of non
• 2:23:31
  driving with proof of no access to vehicles and probation.
• 2:23:38
  I know it's hard for people to prove a negative but once you
• 2:23:41
  all go to the home you'll be able to see if he has access to
• 2:23:44
  vehicles. So it's admission interlock,
• 2:23:48
  full term or affidavit of none driving with proof of no access
• 2:23:51
  to vehicles and that will be with a portable alcohol
• 2:23:56
  monitoring device. 10 days in the Bayer County Jail as a
• 2:24:01
  condition of probation. Probation.
• 2:24:04
  Is there anything else? Is there anything else you need
• 2:24:06
  from the court to be successful? You're welcome.
• 2:24:08
  Did you review the document entitled trial court
• 2:24:10
  certification of defendants rights to appeal with your
• 2:24:12
  attorney? Did you understand it and sign
• 2:24:15
  it? Because this plea bargain
• 2:24:17
  agreement, because I followed your plea bargain agreement and
• 2:24:19
  because you waived your right to appeal, you do not have the
• 2:24:22
  court's permission to appeal because this is a felony
• 2:24:25
  conviction. You're not allowed to own or
• 2:24:26
  possess any weapons or ammunition.
• 2:24:28
  If you have a question over what that is, you need to speak to an
• 2:24:31
  attorney. Do you understand?
• 2:24:32
  All right, so here's the thing. You got to figure out why you're
• 2:24:35
  using and you've got to figure out what works for you to
• 2:24:39
  maintain your sobriety. And if there are people who are
• 2:24:42
  around you who realize that you shouldn't be drinking and they
• 2:24:46
  tell you, oh, it's just one drink, those are not your
• 2:24:49
  friends and you're going to have to cut them off.
• 2:24:50
  Your sobriety needs to be your number one priority.
• 2:24:53
  OK, excellent. All right, Good luck to you.
• 2:24:55
  OK, Thank you. You're welcome.
• 2:24:57
  Okie Dokie friends that will do it for today will be back.
• 2:25:01
