March 16 Court Hearings: Judge Boyd, Simpson, Middleton + More | TCF Podcast #250 · The Courtroom Files

0:01
Good morning everybody. Happy Monday, welcome to the
0:03
courtroom files live. My name is Dan solo.
0:05
I'll be with you for the next four or so hours.
0:07
We'll start in Royal Oak. Michigan, 44th district.
0:11
This is magistrate Chisholm Okay.
0:14
Okay, your ticket is 26 hours, 00334.
0:18
I think it was issued on January 17th about 10:00 in the evening
0:22
in the area of Royal Oak near Stephenson Highway in 11 Mile
0:27
Road. You were cited for impeding
0:29
instead of Being ticketed for making a prohibited turn on a
0:35
red, light impeding doesn't carry points.
0:38
The prohibited turn would carry Secretary of State points, so
0:42
the officer exercise or discretion in your favor and the
0:46
scene and give you a ticket for impeding instead of the
0:49
perimeter tournament, you can accept the break.
0:53
The officer gave you at the scene or you can deny
0:56
responsibility and they'll be a hearing.
0:58
How do you wish to proceed? I want to, yes, I did make this
1:04
mistake. So I do take my responsibility
1:06
but I would like to Ask for. A hearing, I guess.
1:17
We're here you schedule the hearing we're here for the
1:19
hearing. Okay.
1:20
See, you know if you have a hearing hearing crucifying
1:27
Showed that you made an illegal turn.
1:29
The ticket can be amended to the turn.
1:32
And that would carry Secretary of State points in the state of
1:36
that. The officer gave you a break and
1:39
say, did you for impeding which does not carry Secretary of
1:42
State points? I wasn't there.
1:44
I don't know what happened. I hadn't heard yet except from
1:47
you. So yeah, here that yes, I want
1:52
to hearing he did it but you're denying responsibility for what
1:59
you've done. If you raise your right hands,
2:01
please. Yes, do you swear or affirm the
2:08
testimony you're about to give in this matter will be the
2:10
truth? Yes, you know, I do.
2:14
Thank you. We need you to turn on your
2:18
camera so we can see you when you testify, okay, we'll testify
2:22
first. Of certainly it says that you
2:26
cannot start your video because the host has disabled it.
2:30
Yes, I have that as well. Do you?
2:34
Let me see when I can find out here.
2:40
Most tools. I have.
2:48
Didn't profile pictures. I've been able to waiting them
2:55
Let's see if that makes a difference.
2:57
Start video. Okay.
3:03
Band. Okay. so, I'm up early link.
3:12
You're on the list of dating time.
3:13
I was observing the intersection of 12 Mile and Stephenson
3:20
Highway for vehicles, that were just being the posted.
3:23
No, turn on red. I observed the vehicle.
3:28
Stop behind the Stop Bar and then proceed through.
3:30
Oh, the right hand, turn on the Post-it.
3:33
No, turn on red. And it stopped at the red light
3:41
and then made the prohibited, right?
3:43
True. Yes, Mr. Agrari It's your turn,
3:49
sir. Yes, I honor.
3:53
Yeah, that is very true. I was coming off the highway.
3:57
And making sure that there's no cars.
3:58
Are on my right side. And I didn't really see the
4:04
sign, I believe the officer. First of all the officer was
4:07
very professional kind. So no issues with that at all.
4:10
But as I stopped and proceeded to make a right turn.
4:18
Honestly, maybe I didn't, I did not see that sign and I think
4:21
she might have mentioned something like that.
4:23
It was like you saw this. Yes, it's true.
4:28
It's true. I do like why would that matter
4:30
that you didn't see it? No 75, 70 miles, an hour and
4:37
Expressway. And somebody said I didn't see
4:38
the sign. The rules are still 70 miles an
4:43
hour and the expressway know the sign for the no turn on red.
4:46
That's what I mean. I understand that sign was there
4:49
that you would balance, was there?
4:51
Yeah. But you didn't see it.
4:55
But I was to see, yes. Yes, I understand your honor.
5:00
Yeah, all I have to say just one thing and I have a clean driving
5:04
record and this is my first violation.
5:08
I just, I understand, I accept the responsibility but I
5:11
respectfully asked the court would consider being in C or
5:15
what does it mean when you accept responsibility, but want
5:18
to deny the consequences? How can you accept
5:23
responsibility and deny consequences?
5:28
So it doesn't make sense. No, it doesn't.
5:31
In the officer gave you a break. Your record is still going to
5:33
look just as good tomorrow, as it looked yesterday.
5:35
Impeding does not show on your record. that's, In different to
5:40
your driving record, which looks excellent.
5:43
The officer. Exercises to discretion in your
5:46
favor and give you a citation for something that doesn't
5:50
appear on your record. Yes she did.
5:53
The actual was it's just a financial hardship situation for
5:58
me at the moment. That's the main concern.
6:06
Find just 175 dollars. I can give you 30 days to pay.
6:13
Okay. Thank you.
6:47
Samsung being sudden to Samsung, you need to unmute yourself,
6:58
please. Please unmute yourself.
7:09
Okay, there we go. Okay, good morning.
7:12
What is your name? Eric White Thank you.
7:18
This is 2500 7768. This is a citation that was
7:25
issued on the sixth day of December.
7:28
Just about 8:00 in the evening in the area of Royal Oak near
7:32
Woodward Avenue and 4th Street. You recited for operating while
7:36
using a mobile electronic device.
7:39
You get three options this morning, you can admit or deny
7:42
responsibility or you can admit responsibility with an
7:45
explanation. How do you wish to proceed?
7:52
Um, give the case I asked you a question sir.
7:55
Are you admitting or denying responsibility?
7:59
Right? The latter.
8:00
So I'm adored a driver. So I would I would You know, I
8:06
would admit responsibility, but I'm not gonna plead guilty
8:09
because it's a, it's a specification.
8:12
I was working when I got pulled over, I'm a doordash delivery
8:15
driver. What's first of all you can't
8:20
please guilt into a civil and Frank's you're not guilty or
8:23
innocent of a simple and fraction your responsible or not
8:27
responsible for civil infection. Civilians have no intent to
8:31
evil, but way crimes, do have an intent to do evil.
8:35
You. So you you're admitting
8:38
responsibility for this because it happened Right.
8:41
Well, can you can you go over the the latter part of what you
8:44
said? Not the first one, but the
8:46
second how you phrase it. Civil infractions have no
8:51
element of an intent to do anything evil.
8:55
Crimes have an intent to do evil.
8:59
Rights are not friends. Okay.
9:02
So I in late in layman's terms, how I want to please is I do not
9:10
feel that I should have to pay this fine.
9:14
What do your feelings have to do with anything?
9:17
We're talking about Banks. Well, yeah, you're honor if I'm
9:20
you're on, or if I'm allowed to plead the case, right?
9:23
I do not agree that I would have to pay the fine.
9:28
It's not the way the systems work, but we'll have it here.
9:30
Please raise your right hand to be sworn.
9:32
So we can have here. You swear for the testimony
9:36
you're about to give in this matter will be the truth.
9:38
I do. Yeah, I do.
9:43
The officer testify first place. You're on the lucid and time.
9:48
I was falling next to the Silver's, so I'm sorry, silver
9:55
Chevy Cruze, that Mr. White was operating, I was him.
10:00
Having his cell phone in his right hand while operating
10:02
having his GPS open. That time he admitted to me that
10:07
he was using his GPS for doordash and purposes.
10:15
Yeah, so yep. I was all the way over in the
10:18
right lane. And I was doing doordash, I was
10:23
working as she pulled me over. and the way doordash works, is I
10:29
get delivery sent me by doordash, So it is actually more
10:35
on safe for me to have my phone on the dashboard holder, like
10:40
the officer or like the law in Michigan recommends.
10:45
Because if my phone is on the dashboard holder, then I have to
10:49
lean lean forward and switch between the GPS and my work app.
11:05
Mr. White, you've decided that it's safe for you to violate the
11:08
law that it is for you to comply with the law.
11:13
Well, I think what we have here is kind of outlier situation I'm
11:18
a doordash delivery driver I'm hoping everything it's not
11:22
right. But it's it's not like she's
11:24
sitting here pulling over you know a regular citizen just
11:28
going about their day and going back home.
11:30
I have one here regular about you.
11:34
Well, doordash sends me hundreds of delivery offers every day.
11:41
So I, I am getting delivery offers sent to my phone every
11:45
one or two minutes. Okay.
11:49
What is that got to do with the rules of the road?
11:53
Because it is, it is safer for me to not lean forward.
11:57
If, if my phone is in my hand, And under this like in my hand
12:04
and not on the dashboard holder. It is safer.
12:08
Because I'm able to, I am able to work through my deliveries in
12:13
my GPS quicker, and and easier. Well, maybe you should contact
12:18
the State Legislature. And tell them that even though
12:21
they've decided that it is unsafe for people to use their
12:25
phones in their hands while they're driving, because you're
12:29
special, they should just say that ball applies to everybody
12:34
in the state except okay. I think you're wrong.
12:37
You're honor. I think you're you're missed
12:39
understanding me. Okay, first thing I was not
12:42
well, first off your honor, I am doing.
12:46
I am working. And so you are not, you know,
12:49
the lies not able to sit here and treat me like I'm not
12:53
working because a I am working. It doesn't matter what you're
12:57
not. It does matter that doesn't
13:00
matter that I respectfully disagree and the roads that
13:06
belong to the people of the state of Michigan to make a
13:09
living, you're using the roads, right?
13:12
But you are building Insurance yeah.
13:19
People have to buy stuff but right but you're on the property
13:23
of the government. So this is a billion dollar
13:26
company. You know.
13:28
You can afford to pay the 220 dollars, fine.
13:31
No, I doordash is a billion dollar company.
13:39
Mr. White, your position is totally without marriage in
13:42
either fact or law. You violated this law, the state
13:47
of Michigan, the consequences for that.
13:51
Is not even involving points. It's just fine.
13:54
It's 220 dollars. It needs to be paid.
13:56
You can pay it online by mail or at the courthouse counter this
14:01

So, do you understand the charge in the maximum sentence can be

imposed? Understanding that then Mr. Plus
17:35
how do you plead to both counts of possession of a firearm
17:38

So that means you will not have a trial of any kind nor have any
18:10
opportunity whatsoever to contest your guilt and All That
18:13
Remains. After today will be for you to
18:14
be sentenced. If these are accepted, you'll be

18:26
These, please are not of your own free choice.
18:29
Other than the terms, The Plea offer outline on the record.
18:31
Has anyone promised you anything such as leniency?
18:33
Understand that, no one can make any promises from the court as
18:38
to how the court will dispose of this case.
18:40
That is no one can promise that, the court will be easy on unit
18:43
posing sets. Is anyone promise the court
18:46
would be easy on? You?
18:46
Does anyone threatened you to enter these police?
18:49
He's your own free choice. Financial Obligations court
18:54

18:56
good cause shown, are you aware of that sir?
18:58
And that you're subject to a 20% late penalty.
19:01
For any unpaid court costs do 56 days, following your conviction
19:05
and sentence. Finally, if these police are
19:08
accepted, you may be giving up the right to appeal issues.

And is it true that at the time? On January 22nd, you had been
19:44
previously convicted of a felony and that is operating while
19:47
intoxicated third offense, and matter of fact you were on
19:51
probation for that as well. and it's a true that you possess to
19:55
firearm, when you were ineligible to possess a fire
19:59
What type of firearm was it? And, you know, this correct
20:05
firearm was yours. Is that correct?
20:08
Yes, sir. All right.
20:11
And also, did you possess any ammunition?
20:14
Was it was the ammunition for the 22 and you were not to
20:19
possess that as well based on your phone in conviction.
20:23
For skinny objection to the factual basis.
20:25
Know you're Rakowski wherever he promises threatened for this
20:30
plea other than what's been disclosed.
20:31
Know, you're as a core complied, with the court, will concerning
20:35
Please, Mr. Kusky court has is yeah.
20:37
Yes, sir and Mr. Plus, there's no agreement made by this court
20:41
concerning the police. And what the final sentencing
20:42
will be, is that accurate? These young.
20:45
Do you agree? I agree Mr. Kelsey, I agree.
20:47
Thank you. Everyone Court will accept
20:49
please they're done freely voluntary, their understanding
20:52
and accurate. There's a sufficient factual
20:54
basis, Court will accept them and schedule sentencing forth.
20:57
Yeah, that's schedule sentencing for May 1126 at 9 a.m. prior to
21:05
sentencing. The court is ordering a presence
21:08
investigation, report to be prepared, provided to both
21:10
Council in the court, at least two days prior to sentencing.
21:13
Sentencing guidelines. Shall be scored 14 days prior to
21:16
sentencing and provided counsel any objection of the scoring of
21:19
the guidelines must be filed in writing with the clerk of the
21:22
court the later than seven days from sentencing.
21:24
Mr. Plaster must also appear in the courtroom at time of
21:27
sentencing. And if there's any supporting
21:30
documentation, it must be submitted to the court no later
21:32
than seven days from sentencing. Any objection response.
21:35
Must be filed three days there after all.
21:37
So if there's any objections scoring, the guidelines the
21:40
probation agent needs to be notified about that as well.
21:43
Bottom was set at 6,000 dollars. 10% it's been posted Mr. Kowski
21:47
your position on no objection. Continuing Bond objects.
21:51
I'm will continue as continued to previously set.
21:56
In the additional file. 23306987 FH, that is the time and date
22:06
set for probation violation. Hearing this young.
22:09
I understand that based upon the plea that was entered.
22:12
In this case, you've discussed this with your client and you
22:15
wish to proceed to entering a plea regarding that as well.
22:18
You're correct. All right, Mr. Plaster, you're
22:20
still under oath. And so is that what you wish to
22:22
do? If you had sufficient time to
22:25
speak to his young about this as well?
22:26
You need any additional time to speak with her?
22:30
Again, anything affecting your mind or brain making it
22:32
difficult to make important decisions.
22:34
You have a clear mind. all so, You recall all the rights that I
22:42
had provided to you previously regarding the right to a full
22:45
probation violation, hearing disclosure of all the evidence
22:48
against you, a right to confront cross-examine all Witnesses
22:51
against, you are right to present evidence and testimony
22:54
have the right to present Witnesses and support.
22:57
If they don't wish, you know them here, you have the right to
23:01
remain silent. Your silence cannot be used
23:03
against you. You all have the right to
23:05
testify, you understand that as well.
23:07
And you understand that the maximum possible sentence, it
23:10
can be imposed, if you violate terms of your probation, would
23:13
be up to five years in prison. Minus anytime you serve today,
23:18
To understanding those rights and how do you plead to the
23:20
allegation that you violated probation in this better?
23:24
Ms. Young any objections of the core considering the prior plea
23:27
that was entered as a basis for the probation violation.
23:31
No objection your objection to that.
23:33
No your honor. Clearly the police that were
23:35
entered by the defended show that the defendant committed a
23:38
violation of criminal law of any unit of government.
23:39
As a result of that, that's one of the probationary conditions
23:42
that the court reviewed in the court file.
23:45
And it is applicable or will accept that pleads done freely,
23:49
it's voluntary, understanding and accurate.
23:51
There's a sufficient factual basis and I'm assuming we'll
23:54
keep the same sets in date for that matter, as well.
23:56
That acceptable. All right.
23:58
Thank you, Mr. Koffsky anything further at this time regarding
24:03
this people is Young on the bond and this case you're honor you
24:09
had when we were here before on the arena of the Probation
24:17
violation, United Mr. Plaster, to drive nowhere.
24:21
Nothing when nothing was ever. We would ask her on her that
24:25
given his community service. He's set up.
24:28
A lot of things to do, spring cleaning for people around his
24:31
neighborhood and all. So with his job he'd be able to
24:35
drive a lawn mower excavator. He's been going private property
24:40
and private property, any objection.
24:43
Here, I guess he'd be I should say this.
24:46
I know that the previous conviction was being entered at
24:50
that apparently has been correct on SOS as long as he has a
24:52
driver's license because that's the challenge.
24:55
He doesn't have a driver's license and would not be able to
24:58
agree. So long as he has a driver's
25:00
license. A valid driver's license.
25:01
I'm not sure what happened regarding the prior conviction,
25:04
but it's or did enter in the probation file.
25:07
No, operating of any Motor Vehicles, any way, shape or
25:10
form. But if it's not on a public
25:12
roadway, I have no objection to modifying the bond for that
25:14
purpose, but it will be also required.
25:17
That he must have a valid driver's license.
25:21
Hopefully, I'm not sure what happened with SOS.
25:24
Find out obviously and we'll proceed in that fashion that
25:28
acceptable. It's acceptable.
25:29
Thank you. Yes.
25:30
That'll be the bad conditions other than what's been
25:33
previously ordered. All right, that'll conclude the
25:35
proceedings. Thank you, everyone.
25:36
Thank you. Off the Record.
25:39

still waiting for things to really start to kick off and
26:34
Courtland and not a whole lot going on yet but let's go back
26:37
to magistrate Chisholm for a minute.
26:47
Can we have Mr? Robinson back.
26:50
We've got Mr. Steve Here, this is found 20.
26:55

27:06
Good morning. Andrew station on behav Mr.
27:08
Robinson both of concerning and appearing via Zoom right Mr.
27:10
Robinson yes sir. And your auditing time for
27:13
walking in this manner, we ask that the bench, warrant.
27:15
Be withdrawn, please. Bench, warrant is withdrawn.
27:21
And I did advising with statutory constitutional rights
27:24
for the one count and reply of not guilty pleas.
27:27
Waiting. Here.
27:41
Not guilty. Set of pre-trial.
27:52
Now. It appears Mr. Ramson is filled
27:56
out. The defendant basic information
27:58
form showing a new address on Archdale.
28:02
With a phone number that in 8649.
28:04
Both correct, both print, he's worth dated, but I presumed, he
28:08
did that today. He has two future
28:13
representation. I would ask for a sign called
28:16
the police. It appears that he has.
28:25
Valid license today. and, Therefore, the pretrial should.
28:35
Not going to say should, but it would seem highly likely that
28:40
the pretrial will resolve this matter. and, Mr. Robinson, I
28:48
don't know what happened with the two hearings you missed. but
28:52
you really don't want to miss the next one, because That
28:56
should close the file. I just had moved so I wasn't
29:00
receiving the mail. That's the all right, Mr.
29:02
Robinson you're good. You know you explain just show
29:05
up Now, just to make sure that there's no glitch in the mail,
29:10
you're in the building here. When you go down stairs to
29:15
leave, stop at the clerk's office and they will give you
29:18
the notice of hearing, right? Then It's going to be a zoom.
29:22
Hearing it won't be the same set as Zoom numbers that we're used
29:25
today because when the device you're on now to here it'll be a
29:30
different set of numbers but you can get all that before you
29:33
leave and that would just eliminate the chance that the
29:38
male might not get delivered. Yeah, it'll take you.
29:44
Maybe 10 or 12 minutes to get it, but it's, it's well worth
29:47
the time because you're already here.
29:50
And you've made the investment. So we've recalled the bench
29:53
warrant. Externally, I have.
30:02
So bench for just recalled. They have not guilty Andrews.
30:05
You're going to get the notice for the hearing.
30:08
That'll be ashamed. Hearing before you leave the
30:10
building, the bun, then can be 2500 dollars, personal you don't
30:14
need to pay money to leave. It's a personal. you have every
30:19
reason to show up because that's going to close this file in all
30:23
probability. We're all set here today, so
30:28
thank you. They are those Robinson.
30:30
Go downstairs. Oh, thank you.
30:33
Nina, thank you for the ten dollars very much appreciate
30:36

31:30

31:34
that out. All righty.
31:36
Let's um, let's, let's head back over to judge, Prill were kind
31:40
of Bouncing back and forth but he's got a new contestant.
31:45
Versus Herman Charles McConnell file number. 257371 FH.
31:51
Time of day, set for Mr. McConnell sentencing.
31:53
He's present before the court represented by attorney, Dallas,
31:56
Rooney, people are represented by prosecuting attorney.
31:59
Timothy J rokowski, Back on January 12th of this year.
32:03
The defendant entered guilty, pleased to three counts of
32:05
failing to comply with reporting duties as Karen.
32:08
Eberlin has prepared the presets report its dated February 1726
32:12
Mr. Rooney have you and your client had the opportunity to
32:15
review the preset we have there any additions to lesions
32:18
Corrections are objections report other than God no
32:22
objections to anything in the report and no objections to the
32:25
guidelines at school. Thank you agree with us for
32:31
kowsky and he objection to the report as well as God.
32:33
No you're right, thank you. So what would like to say on
32:36
behalf of your client before the court imposes?
32:38
Your honor, Mike client is now 50 years old.
32:42
He's been out of prison, almost 14 years, Errantly.
32:47
He was registering properly for about a dozen years.
32:52
Till the summer of 24 through the spring and 25 when he
32:57
stopped reporting. Apparently he got a little LAX.
33:03
Tells me that Transportation was part of the problem.
33:07
But I advised him that. He's got it.
33:11
If there are some way somehow, you know, understands that so he
33:18
did very well for what a dozen years and then just You know.
33:25
that lacks I guess describe it is Guidelines are five months,
33:31
28 months are zero. Recommendation is one year while
33:39
that is a very reasonable recommendation.
33:42
It's totally within the guidelines.
33:45
Asking that my clients get sentenced.
33:50
I think he would do better if he was on some kind of probation.
33:56
Instead of just straight jail. That doesn't.
34:04
Your standards then. I think he would title to work
34:09
on the work crew as long as he follows the rules of the jail,
34:12
he is able body. And at one point out, this is a
34:17
low-end severity felony and it is a public order crime,
34:21
essentially, a paperwork problem.
34:25
Not minimizing, why? Sora it this and I told him the
34:30
same. So, we'd ask you to consider
34:33
those options. Thank you.
34:35
Does your client wish to address the court?
34:38
Yes, sir. Jennifer 13 years?
34:41
Working hours. To people her at directly.
35:03
Excuse me. Mr. McConnell comes before the
35:06
court with three prior felonies. One prior mister. 50 years of
35:13
age. and, I recall years ago when the sex offender registry
35:20
was passed by the legislature in the governor. and, Clearly,
35:26
there's a reason for it, obviously that's protection of
35:29
the public. And as a result individuals who
35:32
are convicted of those types of crimes, have a duty to report to
35:36
the state. And the reason for that
35:38
obviously, not not only because of safety, it just keeps
35:42
everything in order and we move forward in a positive light
35:46
because there are reasons why we have this this law.
35:52
And it's been challenged a few times beforehand as an
35:56
additional punishment. But at the end of the day, the
35:58
courts in their infinite, wisdom has said, look there's a reason
36:03
for it. It's not additional punishment
36:04
required and I follow the law. That's what the Court's supposed
36:08
to do. As a result, the three prior
36:12
felonies are significant. But all you have to consider.
36:17
A probationary status. I can understand potentially a
36:21
probationary status in this matter, but at the end of the
36:24
day you have to be held a carnival for your crime and this
36:27
matter, there are three counts. And habitual Fender in this
36:31
matter. And I think the recommendation
36:32
is appropriate as a result. We'll be the sense of this court
36:36
that defendants serves 35 days in the county jail credit for 10
36:40
days. Previously, served private
36:42
victims, assessment of 130 dollars will be ordered.
36:46
Court cost of 200 dollars, will also be ordered payable rate of
36:49
10 dollars a month. A fine of $200 will be imposed
36:54
10 dollars a month as well. State costs will be ordered the
36:58
amount of 204 dollars. Attorney fees are waived
37:02
financial obligation. Those are due, and payable by
37:12
May 11th 2026 or the 20% penalty will apply by duty, to inform
37:19
the defendant. He is right to seek leave to
37:21
appeal, If he's financially enabled, his own choice Court
37:26
will assign councilman public. That's used to initial to
37:29
receive the questionnaire form of question.
37:31
The assignment of council both of, which must be executed under
37:34
oath and filed with the work of the Court.
37:37
Executed records. Good luck.
37:40
I'll be all Austin informs Us in the chat that his new child, be
37:50

41:57
But your wife right into your wife, this weekend in Roxy ask,
42:02
when you were coming back up, she thought it ran Sunday, but I
42:05
totally becoming up this morning.
42:06
So I asked to jail to get you on the dock at this morning.
42:07
So we can at least here what the jails understanding of Transport
42:10
is. So Mr. Vixen listened to the
42:12
Corporal and we're going to say what information they have if
42:14
any Corp or anything. Oh, last week supposed to be
42:20
here to get him sometime in week.
42:23
I don't know. So Mr. Vixen You know, when
42:27
they're coming from that far I think this was hole from Texas
42:29
but they're coming from that far sometimes they'll contact us
42:32
contact the jelly in writing and say we've changed our mind,
42:35
we're not coming to get him if they do, if that happens.
42:37
You're going to be released immediately.
42:38
Otherwise, they say they're coming to get you.
42:41
We have by law, we have to give them that chance to come.
42:43
Mr. Vixen. They have 30 days from when you
42:46
sign that waiver, it is a hard limit.
42:48
That's one of the reasons you sign.
42:49
The waiver is to put it on the clock if they don't pick you up
42:51
on the 3530 then on the 31st day, you're going to be
42:55
released. So we'll see if they pick you up
42:57
or not. But as of right now you heard
42:59
the same information that I just heard.
43:01
Supposedly they're coming this week.
43:02
Mr. Vixen do you have any questions?
43:04
Those are man. Do you have any questions wish
43:08

43:27
30 hours, 38 hours round trip. Yeah, and let's just a serious,
43:36
felony. A lot of times they won't come
43:37
that far. But that's, that's their call.
43:39
So you might want to wait and see what happens first.
43:42
That's entirely up to you. There's an advantage to having
43:44
an attorney. On board having somebody lined
43:47
up. The problem is, if you hire
43:49
somebody and then takes a says, hey, we changed our mind.
43:52

43:56
All right, so that's it for friends or family.

45:14
I do wish you the best. Any questions, you know?
45:22
James Gilmore. Should you get more?
45:36
Good morning Mr. Good morning. You're here because you've been
45:37
accused of two counts of burglary of a structure, which
45:40
are third grade felonies and two counts, a grand theft between
45:43
20,000 and 100,000 dollars each which are our secondary
45:47
felonies. Mr. Gilmore there is probably
45:50
calls in the complaint. I think you're entitled to Avon
45:53
as far as I can tell. So I'm going to listen to the
45:55
attorneys before I dressed. That Bond Mr. McDaniel anything.
45:59
You know, things get history but we just asked for a short.
46:05
Thank you, Mister Mitchell anything that's been more.
46:08
The problem is in your history is great for what I've got here
46:11
too. But the problem is, he's a very
46:12
serious charges with a lot of items stolen.
46:14
And there's Very significant amount of evidence that tends to
46:18
implicate you. So on the third degree families,
46:21
I'm gonna set your bond at 5,000 dollars each on the second
46:23
degree families. Your bonds will be 10,000
46:24
dollars each Mr. Gilmore your Total Bond becomes 30,000
46:29
dollars, it's cash or Surety, it's Mr. McDaniel.
46:31
Requested that means you can go through a bondsman what they
46:34
charge is between you and them. They have to charge you 10% but
46:37
they certainly commonly will accept less than that up front.
46:41
You do have a condition. No contact with a legend victim,
46:43
Mr. Gilmore, I'm going to ask the jail to give you a notice
46:46
for your felony. Arraignment date, which we
46:48
believe will be April the 7th for your court date, Mr.
46:53
Gilmore, you'll get used to phone in a few minutes started.
46:55
Contact friends, or family, or bondsman?
46:57
Do you have any questions sir? I know, sir.
47:02
I did say no contact wish you the best.
47:03
Thank you. First thing, he does get the
47:12
spelling of your name correct because I haven't spelled two
47:14
different ways. Your last name is your last
47:17
name, having a in it or not. He and why?
47:21
Yeah, so some of the records Corporal have an e.
47:25
Like she just said And some of the records actually from the
47:29
jail have Bellamy with an A. So if y'all can make that AKA Or
47:33
that correction whichever is appropriate.
47:34
Please miss Bellamy. You have a hold out of Houston
47:36

McDaniel correct. That brings us to Michael
48:15

that the whole without bond but it was not a whole without bond.
48:20
I let the jail knows that 3,200 child, support Purge out of
48:23
Bradford County but it's just, I know their notes say that I
48:27
don't know how that come on there.
48:29

48:33

49:44
Mr. McDaniel from the PD's office know you're and Mr.
49:51

49:53

Ladies and gentlemen for YouTube, and it is 8:43.
50:08

testimony? You're about to give in this
50:56
matter? Will be the truth.
50:58
Anyway, good morning Rona, detector Baretta feeding.
51:02
This is our case number. 260-6968 before is a two count
51:05
War for filling assault, with a dangerous weapon and domestic
51:08
assault Rise by the Oakland County prosecutor's office.
51:11
On March 14th or look officers responded to 2012 Crest Hill on
51:16
a report of a felony assault and domestic assault well spot
51:21
officers arrival contact was made with the victim of the FAA,
51:24
then I thought as Michael Barack and the victim of the salt,
51:27
Dennis Lewis corny, both victims advised at popcorn and
51:31
girlfriend identified, a suspect Anna of Bernie up.
51:33
Popovich threatened, and came at Barack with a knife at Bay
51:38
verbal argument. Iraq was afraid for his life and
51:40
evaded Popovich by running into his room as the corner
51:43
intervened to stop Popovich from advancing.
51:45
Tours. Barack And a process of stopping
51:47
Popovich direct Vice. He, I'm sorry advice.
51:52
He's sustained a small laceration on his hand when he
51:54
took the knife away from Popovich.
51:57
Borneo advised, The Rock, last, Adam strike in the chest corny.
52:01
Then added that Popovich them in the face.
52:03
Leaving a bruise under his left eye officers, then took Popovich
52:06
into custody and transporter RPD for processing additional PD
52:12
report. Number two, says 6968 Banner
52:17
complaint. You will find my signature.
52:20
It's a proofs have been placed on the record to support two
52:23
counselors one being full in a salt.
52:26
The other being domestic violence probable cause has been
52:30
shown to the named defendant and a brain of populist and give
52:34
recognize and therefore witness your signatures having been
52:38
fixed to the complaint And I'm sending the warrant.
52:43
As we speak. Thank you.
52:50
You wish to be. Part of the arrangement on your,
52:55
I just want to add. I'm set with the arrangement.
52:58
I just want to add that Popovich has only one entry in her CC
53:02
from 2008, which was a Assault resistance.
53:05
Officer that was this messed up the course at the appropriate
53:09
bond for her which is put the standard and appropriate
53:13
conditions including not to be at the address on Crest Hill as
53:17
well as contact with the victims.
53:21
Thank you have a good day. Thank you.
53:23
You too. All right, let's head to
53:27
Atlantic County, New Jersey. This is Judge Steven Levin.
53:33
No objection. Okay, that's one threes.
53:35
Three are in evidence. Any defense exhibits?
53:37
No judge. All right, let's move on to the
53:40
probable, cause determination. Contests are stipulation.
53:43
This bitters? We will stipulate.
53:45
Well, the defense not contesting probable cause the Court's
53:48
almost making independent determination.
53:49
According the issue. Probably cause 19 Supreme Court
53:53
is defined probable cause as well.
53:54
Ground specifically, the defense being committed and a well
53:57
grants Mission. The defendants along the
53:58
committed. It sure seemed vs Pew, 420 US, 1
54:01
and 2, 1974 spectral cost. In this case course, at the
54:05
opportunity to review the play warm package includes after,
54:07
even a probable cause and the plain old Force answer report,
54:10
which is more moved to evidence is S1, of course, those taking
54:14
serration that there's a stipulation caught between the
54:16
parties purpose. This area in this area, only
54:18
baseball on those things were finds defend himself a
54:21
committed. The George defense is at the
54:23
probable cause or well grounded suspicion level.
54:25
Moving on to detention termination here.
54:28
There's a presumption of release saves the burden of proving
54:30
attention by clearing convincing evidence the PSA.
54:33
Has a release recommendation on here from the state.
54:36
Thank you, your honor. It is the state's position that
54:39
the PSA does not adequately account for the danger that
54:41
this, that this defendant would pose both to this victim and her
54:46
unborn child. This was an incident that arose
54:50
out of a hotel room and the defendant is now here for his
54:54
first contact with the criminal justice system.
54:55
For three DB related charges, two of which are marked violent
54:59
for criminal, mischief, simple assault, and aggravated assault
55:02
on a DV victim. You're honor.
55:04
This was not a one in done. Punch In the Heat of the Moment,
55:08
this defendant physically assaulted, this victim to the
55:13
point that she had visible injuries and needed to seek
55:15
medical care. He stabbed her with a pen.
55:18
He bit her finger, he strangled her, he damaged the property,
55:21
belonging both to the hotel room and to the victim.
55:25
And whenever there is a DVD case such as this at hand, the state
55:28
is always going to have concerns about possible obstructionist
55:31
Behavior due to the nature of their relationship between the
55:34
parties. And give in the fact that this
55:37
occurred in a hotel room where there were presumably other
55:41
guests other people staying in the hotel room.
55:42
This would have also affected the community at large.
55:45
It would have been present at that hotel room at that time.
55:47
And it's hard to imagine that any guest who would have been at
55:49
the hotel at the time of the incident.
55:52
If they had heard anything, what have felt safe staying in that
55:55
hotel room at that time? These are serious charges to
56:00
have as your first Contact ever with the criminal justice system
56:03
and give them. What had happened here, that the
56:07
state has great concern for the safety of both, this victim and
56:10
her unborn child, and the state would respectfully request that
56:13
you detain. This individual in light of what
56:15
has happened here and the nature of the relationship between the
56:18
parties. However, your honor, if you feel
56:20
so inclined, as to really assist defendant, we would at the very
56:23
least in the alternate alternative, be asking for a no
56:26
contact with the victim provision to any really sort of
56:29
understanding that our position remains that, this defendant
56:32
should be detained to protect the interests of the Triad.
56:36
Despite some quick questions you said there are other people in
56:40
the whole children. Do you mean in the hotel or in
56:43
the world? Yes.
56:43
Okay, so with respect to the hotel room where these the whole
56:46
two people in the hotel room And understand it as the is your off
56:51
City contact with the electrical we did.
56:54
But we have not heard back from. Well, we reached out to her but
56:56
we have not heard back from her, okay?
57:01
All right, Ms. Bitters. Thank you, Mrs. Judge that we
57:05
recognize of course. These are pretty serious.
57:07
Charges that Mr. Cottrell has. But he does have a perfect PSA.
57:13
He has no history whatsoever. The recommendation here is to
57:16
release him. He, of course, has no pending no
57:20
prior convictions, first arrest, right?
57:22
Yeah. Appears to be his first contact
57:25
with with the system. Yes.
57:28
Does he? He'll be going back to
57:31
Pennsylvania. Yeah, judge, he lives in Old
57:33
Forge Pennsylvania with his grandmother.
57:37
He does a little bit the victim, he does not.
57:41
He's not working but he is in college.
57:43
He does have some mental health issues.
57:46
He tells me he's been diagnosed with PTSD.
57:49
Bipolar, it's a frontier. He's on some pretty serious
57:53
mental health medications. He has already been in jail for
57:59
almost a week, which I think is quite a shock to somebody like
58:02
Mr. Cottrell who's never been in trouble before?
58:05
I would just note that he was entirely compliant with police.
58:09
When the incident occurred, the reports read to me, nobody
58:15
objection to no contact with the victim.
58:17
I have no objection to that judge now.
58:23
Just be brief looking at the Triad.
58:26
I think the state can't. Yeah.
58:28
Meet the burden on failing to appear obviously having no
58:31
record of that. He's nothing obstructionist and
58:35
his background. He was entirely compliant here.
58:37
And of course, we would argue that any dangerousness
58:42
considerations could be met with a no contact order, which he
58:46
would certainly comply with. Thank you, both.
58:52
For the court is Thomas E Cottrell.
58:55
These heroin 2026 692180 David followed the most pretrial
59:02
detention. If you hearing the court, again
59:04
finds the season established probable cause to defend
59:06
sellable Finney, committed to charge offenses.
59:09
So he found the probable cause after David in The Plea longed
59:12
for since the report which remarked in evidence is one and
59:15
stipulation. By Between the parties, the
59:17
purpose this year in the spring, only with regard to the
59:19
detention determination. The emotional pretrial detention
59:24
is denied based on the reasons the Court's about to set forth
59:27
on the record Court, does not find that the state's man's
59:30
burn, my clear convincing evidence.
59:31
There are conditions whether to be monetary non-monetary,
59:34
combination Booth, good reasonably, assured.
59:36
Defendants appearance in court required in the protection
59:38
safety of others in the community and the defendant will
59:41
not obstruct or attempt obstruct.
59:43
The colonel Justice process finish going to be ordered
59:45
release according to the pretrial release order shortly,
59:48
prior to getting that to make it clear for the record.
59:50
The poor considered each. And every stat story factor and
59:53
more Then appears before the court charges.
59:56
Second degree of a salt to my phone on a domestic violence
59:59
victim for three recall. Mischief, totally person, simple
1:00:02
soul. The ledge facts are that.
1:00:10
Large 10th. 2026. In the victim, who was, who was
1:00:20
pregnant, got into a verbal argument of relationship, issues
1:00:23
argument, turned physical in the defendant places, his hands on
1:00:25
her neck, stabbed her with a pen, punched her, and bitter
1:00:29
finger, Finn and punch holes in the wall.
1:00:31
The hotel room is well, finna broke a laptop.
1:00:35
The revisable signs of injury. And defendant made admissions.
1:00:46
Fennel was arrested as a result. Core takes a massive violence.
1:00:52
Very, very seriously. It's always serious.
1:01:20
However, at the time of defendants arrested, no criminal
1:01:23
history and therefore doesn't have any prior sentences
1:01:25
incarceration. We're considered the serious
1:01:34
nature domestic violence cases and consider that said, it
1:01:37
represents a risk of danger to persons including the victim.
1:01:41
And the community, however defendant has no record and no
1:01:43
history. They've worked in post
1:01:45
conditions to address those risks.
1:01:49
Course considered, then here at the obstruction domestic
1:01:52
violence cases. While Defender represents a risk
1:01:58
to obstruct his lack of History indicates that the Quark can
1:02:01
impose conditions to address the risk.
1:02:03
That is currently facing a secretary, agree assault charge
1:02:06
subject to 10 years. In New Jersey, state prison up
1:02:09
to 85% of which can be or 85% of which can be parole and eligible
1:02:13
to three or period of parole supervision upon release.
1:02:17
It's been incentivized defended to fillet, however, with the
1:02:19
finance lack of History. The work can impose conditions
1:02:21
to test address that risk. Public Safety says assessment as
1:02:25
a one on the failing to appear scale to one on the nuclear
1:02:28
activity scale. There's no new activity flag
1:02:31
with an elevated risk of violence.
1:02:33
The psa's recommendation is released with conditions.
1:02:35
That's the lowest level release level one.
1:02:42
Quart doesn't. While the Court gives the PSA, a
1:02:46
great week in the recommendation rate, the court is going to
1:02:50
release defendant on a higher level. 3.
1:03:08
Overall, the statement, it's burned.
1:03:10
My clear convincing evidence or our conditions, whether it be
1:03:12
monetary, non-metric company should both Grizzly assure,
1:03:15
safety non-obstructive, defendants appearance required.
1:03:17
Then it's here by order to release in this matter, Mr.
1:03:20
Cottrell listen carefully. We can unmute Mr. Cottrell.
1:03:28
So, you're going to be released to understand that.
1:03:32
I understand I'm going to go over your conditions with you
1:03:34
now. Verbally you're also going to
1:03:36
get them in writing. If you don't buy by these
1:03:38
conditions, your release could be revoked.
1:03:40
He could sit in jail until the matter as resolved at a minimum.
1:03:43
You understand that? I understand around and I
1:03:46
understand all all I'm trying to do is go to college and do write
1:03:51
with my life and not ruin my future with this one mistake.
1:03:54
Hey, listen. So sure you listen to the
1:03:56
conditions, you must appear for all scheduled Court proceedings.

1:04:10

1:04:12

Thank you. We'll see them a male 11.
1:14:46
It'll be all. Good morning.
1:14:50
Once again, everybody. Happy Monday which I'm
1:14:52
determined to not get normal Monday.
1:14:54
Welcome to TCF live. My name is Dan, goodbye all
1:14:57
here. I wanted to follow up real
1:15:00
quick. On last Friday, we were watching
1:15:03
a trial in judge to Santos Court, Judge mom.
1:15:08
I just see guys kind of know where that went.
1:15:10
It was kind of off the rails. The section that we watched the
1:15:14
afternoon portion of it even more off.
1:15:17
The rails, they kept having to escort the jury out because
1:15:21
lawyers were fighting with each other.
1:15:25
Judge to Santa continuous continuously admonishing them.
1:15:29
I honestly expected at one point for her to just yell off with
1:15:34
your heads. It was so bad.
1:15:36
But here's the thing. It's not done.
1:15:40
Even after all of that, they got to the end of the day.
1:15:44
It was pushing like 6 p.m. on a Friday and defense said that
1:15:50
they had an expert witness that would need at least two hours to
1:15:54
testify. So this thing isn't going to
1:15:56
finish until two weeks from last Friday that was the next day.
1:16:01
They could find where everybody would be available.
1:16:03
So just a disaster. I'm not gonna show you the rest
1:16:07
of that mess, but don't be surprised at some point on this
1:16:10
channel. If there is a super cut of all
1:16:14
of the back and forth, arguing and yelling and screaming
1:16:17
because that in a Cell would be entertaining.
1:16:21
Any who just want to update you on that?
1:16:23
Let's do this. Let's go down to Florida or not
1:16:28
Florida, rather, Texas judge. West morning fashion show.
1:16:42
And he's paragon. All right, so this is and cause
1:17:06
number 26, dccv 0267 and Miss Baraka filed and request for
1:17:16
expansion. The state through the District,
1:17:19
Attorney's office has filed a response as well as the City of
1:17:26
Beaumont. and it looks like the state's position is that A
1:17:33
grant, she it was in two cases. It looks like one is caused
1:17:38
number in 241 026 and then the other is 23, cccr, 2497 States
1:17:45
position is a grant relief on the 23, DCC or cccr case, but
1:17:50
not on the others that correct. That's correct.
1:17:52
You is it the city's position as well?
1:17:55
Just and so, it looks like on the m241 026, Ms. Vericon
1:18:02
interplay of guilty received your probation.
1:18:05
Is that correct? That's correct.
1:18:06
John. Okay.
1:18:07
So then based on that, I will grant the petition for
1:18:10
expunction in cause number 203 CCC are 2497 but I will deny it
1:18:17
in m241 026. And I'll just need I'll work out
1:18:26
and sign and appropriate order. Thank you.
1:18:30
Just put that out that I need to get her order and make some
1:18:34
early nation's. You have two functioning.
1:18:38
I do not know. She only probably one in.
1:18:40
Brought you one. What's the other one?
1:18:41
The other one is, A Haydn Schneider 26, dccb 0265 right.
1:18:52
You'll end up in the okay. We'll check on it real quick.
1:18:56

If you get someone hired before the next court date, just bring
1:19:56
the reset notice. You get today to that lawyer,
1:19:58
they'll tell you what to do. If for some reason you're unable

1:20:06
amounts of different payment plans that way I know you're
1:20:08
actually trying to hire someone bring the names of who you
1:20:12
talked to know you're trying. And then we'll discuss your
1:20:14
options if you don't do that, then when you come back, you run
1:20:17
the risk of me. Raising your bond for not
1:20:19
following that court order and you would go back to jail.
1:20:21

1:23:31
And so you need to try to get a job and then after that, try to
1:23:36
hire lawyer. So when I'm going to do is reset

1:23:40
to get a job. So you need to work on that and
1:23:44
bring me proof that you have applied to at least five a week.
1:23:48
If you get one, great bring me proof of that.

visit with, at least three lawyers, they all charge
1:25:38
different amount. They have different payment
1:25:40

1:25:49
of me. Raise your bond for not

1:31:07
He's okay. the CD to go meet with them, this I forgot what
1:31:14

1:31:18

Or the names of the lawyers? You talk to you can talk to Siri
1:31:27
why? So Russia is morning.
1:31:30
Why? Because it was 8:00 and I'm on
1:31:34
my way here. I was trying to hurry up and get
1:31:35
up to be on my way here. Where you coming from?
1:31:38
I was the worst. The West, what was the West End?
1:31:43
I'll feed him. Oh, so from here in town.
1:31:46
Yes, ma'am. But how old is 19 years old?
1:31:50
It's time to set your alarm, get up on time.
1:31:53
Bring here. What?
1:31:54
I asked you to frame because now giving you How many resets?
1:32:00
How many times you've been here all over?
1:32:04
Just one research to go get a lot since last of my family.
1:32:07
How many times have you been here in this court in front of
1:32:10
me? Oh, please my second Tomball.
1:32:12
Okay. You have two weeks.
1:32:14
Yes, you don't have a whole month.
1:32:16
You have two weeks. If you don't do what I asked you
1:32:18
to do orders you to do, when you come back, I will raise your
1:32:21
bond for not following the court order.
1:32:23
There will be no exceptions. Do you understand?
1:32:25
You need to get someone hired before the next court date or
1:32:29
you need to speak with three attorneys, which isn't going to
1:32:31
be easy. You gotta start calling
1:32:33
attorneys today, you don't know if you can hire them, unless you
1:32:36
call them, and talk to them, find out what they charge, maybe
1:32:38
you can afford one, you don't do everything.
1:32:41
I just told you, then when you come back you're going to jail.
1:32:43
That's simple step in front of the clerk.
1:32:47
All right. I'm on Colbert.
1:32:57
Morning, are you a monk Colbert, and Mr?
1:33:06
Colbert, this is your initial appearance.
1:33:08
Paul's number 25, DC, our 1849, you're charged with the third
1:33:13
degree, felony, offense of theft, of property from November
1:33:16
6th of 2025, since you've made bond in your face, if you had an
1:33:19
opportunity to hire lawyer On Louisiana, okay?
1:33:24
So you never got back to you. All right, so what I'm gonna do.
1:33:29
Mr. Coleman. I mean, Mr. Colbert is reset
1:33:32
your case for about 30 days. So you need to try to get
1:33:35
someone hired before the next four day, if you do bring the
1:33:38
reset, notice to them. They'll tell you what to do,
1:33:40
you're from Louisiana. So there's a few Louisiana
1:33:43
attorneys that are licensed to practice in the state of Texas,
1:33:46
but not all of them. So you probably need to talk to
1:33:48
some here locally as well. All right.
1:33:49
If you don't, and if you can't hire someone, then you need to
1:33:53
at least talk to three. Start calling attorneys.
1:33:56
Find out what they charge your money, but let me know who
1:33:58
you've talked to. When you come back, if you don't
1:34:00
then you run the risk of me. Raising your bond for not
1:34:03
following that portal order, you understand?
1:34:04
All right. Step in front of the Clark,
1:34:06
still give you your reset and this Lucciano.
1:34:10
Live on a Monday. My name is Dan good to have you
1:34:13

1:34:20

1:34:24
And often they wear some interesting things.
1:34:27
Let's get back to judge. That they speak of multiple
1:34:32

1:34:36

1:34:59
Okay, in front of the clerk and she'll give you that paperwork.
1:35:04
What's the deal? Mr. And price.
1:35:20
Mr. Crenshaw is asking for a reset on Haydn Schneider.
1:35:24
I think he tried to get with Miss Carter last week to do
1:35:27

2:03:34
Completely shocks and amazes Us in court, that renders the
2:03:37
discussion necessary. I think the fourth hour today,

we'll just be more Court. But let's go back to Texas.
2:03:44
Judge Stevens. Mr. Adams is here.
2:03:49

2:04:14
years in prison. This also space in the
2:04:17
indictment and you've previously been convicted of robbery in
2:04:21
2000 fifteen out of the court next door.
2:04:25
If that were true moving truth, you were convicted of his arson.
2:04:31
Then your punishment, ranks goes up.

2:05:12
probation. Also, you can be placed on
2:05:14
regular probation. Since.
2:05:20
The you're not allowed to probation, if you are sentenced
2:05:24
to more than 10 years but they're capping it at 8th that
2:05:29
gives you the opportunity. What we would do is if that's
2:05:34
what you're going to do, then we would order a present with
2:05:37

2:05:42
background was. And that would put you in a
2:05:46
better situation. But anyways, all of that is
2:05:48
semantics. Today is the day.
2:05:50
What do you want to do? Which wrap you?
2:05:52
Take you It's not worthy. They said if you have one so

Okay. That's what the sentence was on
2:06:15
the Rockets. That's what you never get.
2:06:21
Punished less for subsequent criminals, but it's just about
2:06:26
no deals. There is no deal with and you're
2:06:30
not eligible for probation. So let a jury decide that we'll
2:06:34
set it, right? Thank you.

2:19:44
And how do you pleaded that children?
2:19:46

up any right to appeal, and it looks like the agreement that
2:20:14
you've reached for a five year deferred probation, there would
2:20:17
be a 500 dollar fine and you would be required to follow all
2:20:20
of the rules and conditions of probation is that your
2:20:22
understanding. You also understand if you're
2:20:25
not a US citizen that a plea of guilty or no contest may result
2:20:28
in your deportation exclusion from admission to the country or
2:20:32

evidence to find you guilty. However, I'm going to reset your

2:57:40
The fort is calling 2023 cr0, 889 State versus Stephen
2:57:47
Wahlberg. Can I have parties announced
2:57:49
harness Vanessa for the state Don Wilson for the defense and
2:57:53
are you Mr? Wahl.
2:57:54
Barker It's your review. The document entitled motion to
2:57:57
revoke community supervision with your attorney that you

2:58:10
of possession of controlled substance penalty Group, 1, 4200
2:58:13
grams on August 10th, 2023 for a term of eight years.
2:58:16
Is that you state? Finally did condition number
2:58:20
four in Bexar County Texas, the defendant Steven Wayne wall
2:58:24
bachar, did Ben and their fail to report to the supervision
2:58:28
officer as directed for the months of September, October and
2:58:32
November 2025 in violation of condition.
2:58:35
Number four, how do you think about true or not?
2:58:37
True. Steve will leave the remaining.
2:58:42
Any objections to the way we're still gesture.
2:58:44

2:59:00

2:59:03
Yes. Joseph propose a agreement is to
2:59:06
deny the motion and Alternate men to add State, ISF relapse
2:59:11
track. It's the understanding of the
2:59:14
parties that Mr. Wahlberg was ordered to attend previously,
2:59:18
and I believe in September of 2025, which he failed to do.
2:59:21
But based on this report here, it's clear.
2:59:28
That. I'm sorry judgment to alternate
2:59:35
to complete the full 90 days, substance abuse track or to
2:59:39
repeat the cognitive because he's just he's ineligible for
2:59:43
just the relapse trucks. Sorry, as I was reading, it does
2:59:47
seem that Mr. Wahlberg does have a substance abuse problem that
2:59:51
needs treatment and I'm sure defense School expand on that.
2:59:54
She's had the substance abuse problem most of his adult life
2:59:57
and it's one that's it's had a firm grip on him is he's
3:00:03
relapsed multiple times and From what Mr. Wahl butker has told me
3:00:08
he's finally reaching that point.
3:00:11
At age where they're tired and I really believe that he's
3:00:15
committed to fighting it. Diligently and moving forward as
3:00:21
a wife at home and and he's motivated to get in front of
3:00:26
this. Long-standing problem that he's
3:00:28
had such and we would ask you to go along with our recommendation
3:00:31
and get him. You know, one last chance at
3:00:35
Rehabilitation for this drug problem, right?
3:00:37
So this isn't his first motion to revoke previously.
3:00:41
He was here and the court, everyone.
3:00:43
Please whisper preview to see. He was here and the court
3:00:47
ordered that he go to ISF. So what happened with that?
3:00:51
He's completed. I said, And then this I guess in
3:00:55
September, He was ordered to the ISF relapse and that's when he
3:00:59
didn't report and then we found out that he didn't qualify for
3:01:03
it as well. I didn't know, I didn't know
3:01:05
that. I didn't know I didn't record
3:01:07
because I was scared. Remember, they should have won
3:01:10
for my arrest for myself, in September that turned myself in
3:01:13
right away. I said, help my girl, get some
3:01:16
bills paid on my life, I don't think he's appropriate for
3:01:20
probation. I mean, the one thing in this
3:01:22
court, you have to do, is you have to report are just One more
3:01:29
chance just started doing this? Yeah, I don't think he's
3:01:32
appropriate. So do you all wish to discuss?
3:01:54
Can we step away in? Yes.
3:02:02
Next. Page seven one down.

3:03:15
I have I have followed up with the court reporter.
3:03:18

3:03:22

3:03:27
Yeah, the states kept me informed, right?
3:03:29
So, nobody's leaving here today. Until I have a word from the
3:03:33
court reporter, when that's going to be done, because this
3:03:35
is been going on since November. We've been waiting for school
3:03:38
records since November again. I well, sorry, since October for
3:03:43
school records, again, I don't understand why people are
3:03:46
indicting cases without the appropriate discovery.
3:03:51
So, we're gonna wait here till the court.
3:03:54
Gets word on when those records will be ready, which I don't
3:03:59
know why those transcripts were not here before.
3:04:02
The case was indicted, we're going to wait here until you
3:04:06
find out. When those school records going
3:04:07
to be ready and are these school records coming from out of town?
3:04:10
Are they in their County, New York?
3:04:12
And I'll double check on that. We've already ordered them and
3:04:14
requested them. I do believe we have them in.
3:04:16
I just wasn't able to check. Okay, well if they're in, y'all
3:04:19
need to go get them and give them to the fence.
3:04:21
But Port is not resetting. This case until I know when that
3:04:25

3:04:29

3:05:25
was on the 19th of February. Yes.
3:05:28
And the state share with me, their expert review, August or
3:05:33
experts review, the file regarding SPI I believe the
3:05:39
state is. In other words, I have
3:05:41
everything that I need. I don't know if any more Medical
3:05:44
Records, I don't believe. So, I think the state has
3:05:47
something else that need to. Yes, we had made an offer over
3:05:52
to defense. They had made a counter offer we
3:05:55
Need for expert to review all of the medical records that we
3:05:58
have. He's done so as Mr. Funniest
3:06:01
said he's right over our notes from that meeting and we spoke
3:06:05
with the family. We still just need to speak with
3:06:07
and then on defenses counter offer all right y'all need to do
3:06:11
that now go speak to the admin now.
3:06:13
Whoever they are. Research.
3:06:16

3:06:42
today. So we'll watch more Court.
3:06:45

3:07:04
convicted Plus Whatever, Senate's assess.
3:07:08

I want to ask you to keep your eyes on the channel today.
3:21:44
You know, we post videos throughout the day first off,
3:21:49
we're making a return to bringing back some hearings that
3:21:53
we don't necessarily see on the live show.
3:21:55
And in fact two of them will be posted today that we have not
3:21:59
seen a live show. Their both from Judge aquilina
3:22:02
who we ran across a couple of weeks ago.
3:22:06
We all loved her and she's actually the one who sentenced
3:22:10
Larry Nassar back in that case. But I want you to pay attention
3:22:14
because one of the videos going up today is actually tied.
3:22:20
To the Larry Nassar situation. So I think you'll find that
3:22:23
interesting. So keep an eye out for that.
3:22:25
First video will go up an hour after the slide show ends and
3:22:31
that one will probably be the one that has the ties to Nassau.
3:22:35
So check that out. All right, let's go to, let's go
3:22:38
back to judge West. A good morning.

3:24:00
with the district attorney that you'll be waiting or giving up
3:24:03
any right to appeal. And argue a US citizen.

I didn't put that on their standard it's like 60 to 80
3:24:19

Is there anything else you need from the court?
3:35:01
New York. All right, did you review the
3:35:03
document entitled trial court certification of defendants
3:35:06
rights to peel with your attorney that you understand it
3:35:09
and sign it? Yes, you because this is a plea,
3:35:12
bargain agreement because I followed your people are going
3:35:14
to because you waive your right to peel.
3:35:15
You do not have the courts permission to appeal because
3:35:18
this is a felony conviction. You're not allowed to own a
3:35:20
possess, any weapons or ammunition.
3:35:22
If you have a question over, what that is, you'll need to
3:35:24
speak to an attorney. Do you understand?
3:35:26
Yes. All right, we can go off the
3:35:28
Record. Here's the thing.
3:35:28
You want one of those people who cannot drink alcohol.
3:35:32
Yes. So all right, it is so easy to
3:35:34
get behind a vehicle drink and end up killing someone, I have
3:35:39
yet and I think your attorney will tell you, I have yet to
3:35:41
meet someone who's charged with and talks occasion, manslaughter
3:35:45
Or intoxication of salt who said my intent was to go out drink to
3:35:51
intoxication and hit somebody. Usually what ends up happening
3:35:54
that ends up happening and then they're crying, they're asking
3:35:57
for Mercy, they never intended to do it.
3:35:59
So, you're one of those people who can't drink alcohol at all,
3:36:02
you're not allowed to drink alcohol, especially while you're
3:36:04
on the probation. Do you understand?
3:36:06
Understood. All right.
3:36:07
Good luck to you. Thank you.
3:36:09
You're welcome. Thank you.
3:36:11
Okie dokie. So talk in the chat about that
3:36:14
pin that judge Boyd was wearing. She did not start off her docket
3:36:20
with that. It came later and I noticed
3:36:22
that. So, I did a little rewind and
3:36:25
figure out what's going on. She got handed that by another
3:36:29
attorney in her court, and there was some discussion back and
3:36:33
forth, but this is a San Antonio fiesta medal.
3:36:39
So San Antonio fiesta medals are iconic.
3:36:41
Collectible often Custom Design souvenirs produced annually by
3:36:45
organizations businesses and individuals for the Fiesta San
3:36:49
Antonio celebration. Specifically this medal.
3:36:54
Ah, it sounds like was produced by hand by a child who is being
3:37:01
helped by an organization in San Antonio.
3:37:04
They didn't call it out by name. But an organization that helps
3:37:07
foster children who are aging out of the system and judge
3:37:12
Boyd, actually remarked that she used to sit on the board for
3:37:15
that organization. So that's what all that's about.
3:37:19
That's apparently a handmade custom-made.
3:37:22
Fiesta pin Fiesta medal that somebody did for her.
3:37:28
So, there you go. Okie dokie.
3:37:31
Let's go. Judge Stevens.
3:37:55
You have to speak out so she can just take everything that okay,
3:38:06
one, five, one, two, so and 24cr. 1513 one five, one, two,
3:38:21
this one. Alleges you committed to 33
3:38:25
felony forgery. Yeah. just, And this activation
3:38:36
in paragraphs one? Yes.
3:38:45
This paragraph one. But paragraphs, two, three,
3:38:49
four, five. Six and seven alleged prior
3:38:59
convictions and this third degree.
3:39:03
Felony, if convicted, 25 dollars.
3:39:17
That's your charts with their, that's And and one five one
3:39:27
three, he's a fraudulently used or position of identifying
3:39:30
information. This is a state jail.
3:39:33
Felony and Shop change it. There are several agents are
3:39:43
prior convictions, which looks similar to the previous case.
3:39:46
And I think this means that if convicted of the state jail,
3:39:51
felony, you could be punished as high as a second degree felony
3:39:55
punishments, which carries with it, no less than two no more
3:39:58
than 20 years to find it in that case, and to find a 10000
3:40:02
dollars. So you're looking at, Life in
3:40:06
1512 as an habitual felon. And then what we call habitual
3:40:13
state jail, felony, which carries with it punishment up to
3:40:17
second degree felony punishment, none of, that's good, they're
3:40:22
all serious. You understand what your face
3:40:24
facing here? So All right.
3:40:27
Does the defendant waive formal leaders will receive?
3:40:31
Yes, let's go. One, five, one, two or numerical
3:40:36
sequence. You this alleged that honor
3:40:40
about October 7th. 2023, in Jefferson County, Texas.
3:40:46
You committed the third week family.
3:40:48
Forgery of a financial instrument.
3:40:50
Do you understand what you charge it?
3:40:53
Just as you might be that you have to deal with.
3:41:06
Yeah. It hides sometimes.
3:41:16
Thank you. We only really need to go on
3:41:37
paragraph one. Yes.
3:41:45
This is a third degree. Felony sir, paragraph one.
3:41:50
Of this, which carries with it, if convicted the term of not
3:41:54
more than 10 years or less than two years in prison.
3:41:56
And in addition to find maybe assess not to exceed 10,000
3:42:00
dollars, do you understand? Yes, and agreements and reached
3:42:04
in your case, here, he would be pleasing guilty Center to 10
3:42:08
years and that would run, apparently with 24 CR, 1513 the
3:42:18
front and use of identifying information.
3:42:21
That's a state jail. Follow-up could be punished
3:42:25
though up to 20 years, Chris, but on this 1512.
3:42:30
Do you understand what your choice with and what the plan is
3:42:34
on this position? Just if I follow this agreement,
3:42:39
you have no right of appeal of your case.
3:42:43
Do you understand? You know, right?
3:42:48
Yes. Thank you because you are gifts.
3:42:57
We have just one of five point two.
3:43:04
Sure. You, it's a question and answer.
3:43:21
So. Sometimes they're not in 24 C or
3:43:28
one, five one, three and summary this state's also that honor
3:43:32
about October 7th 2023. Yes.
3:43:34
The previous case alleges and Jefferson County, Texas on that
3:43:38
day, you committed the state jail.
3:43:40
Felony of illegally, possessing, identifying information, Here.
3:43:50
with the intentional harm and defraud another Do you
3:43:57
understand what you charged with you?
3:43:58
Just because these are less than five items.
3:44:03
It is a state jail, felony rather than a higher or more
3:44:08
serious degree felony. So, in this case, if convicted,
3:44:11
face any term of not less than 180 days, or more than two years
3:44:15
in the states. Yeah, in additional fine.
3:44:17

3:44:23
In this case where you'll be pleading guilty sentenced, to 15
3:44:27

3:44:33

Thank you. All righty.
3:47:50
Let's head back to judge, Boyd new contestant approaching their
3:47:57
Oh no, I don't think so. It's just a compliance, thanks.
3:48:02
Thank you. Could I see this shirt?
3:48:13
Thank you. it's like, Do you want to go to prison?
3:48:37
No sir. All right, so you need to start
3:48:41
completing your conditions. How old are you?
3:48:44
All right? You're 18.
3:48:46
So here's the thing, we're having this compliance here
3:48:49
because you're 18. Right?
3:48:52
I want to stress this to you. This offense, you are deferred
3:48:58
adjudication, you're looking at 10 years in the prison.
3:49:02
I mean, that's what you're looking at.
3:49:03
If you're revoke, so they're saying that you've been drinking
3:49:07
alcohol at home. Know, that's what it says.
3:49:13
I mean, it's not okay, that's what they're saying.
3:49:16
So you're unemployed and you're drinking alcohol, you're not
3:49:19
doing what you need to do while you're on probation job.
3:49:22
And what have you been doing? Yeah, on the dog application.
3:49:27
I'm still trying to go. All right.
3:49:31
So or I could probably yeah, probation is going to help you
3:49:35
with that and appeal officer about that too.
3:49:38
She gave me a couple days of a couple of jobs and that's right.
3:49:42
For those jobs but you understand.
3:49:44
All right, so here's the thing, when you're applying for jobs,
3:49:49
Don't wait for them to call you back.
3:49:51
Like once you've sent in your application, do a follow-up, try
3:49:55
to phone them, you know, call them and say hey I really need
3:49:59
this job. I really want to come because
3:50:01
sometimes squeaky wheel gets the whole, right?
3:50:04
So you gonna have to start doing that and This whole thing with
3:50:09
your drinking alcohol. I know it's easy to get
3:50:11
depressed where you thought, maybe your life would be in a
3:50:14
different direction than it is now, but you don't want that
3:50:17
direction to end up being prison.
3:50:19
Okay? So this is your chance.
3:50:23
They're going to give you something to address this
3:50:25
alcohol use And if your family is a part of this, you need to
3:50:30
let them know. Hey, look, I spoke to the judge.
3:50:33
If I'm revoked on this, I could potentially go to prison for 10
3:50:36
years, so you all got to help me.
3:50:38
And part of that is Don't try to give me alcohol.
3:50:42
If you if you see me. Like, I'm gonna drink alcohol.
3:50:45
Say, hey remember, I'm looking at 10 years, you understand?
3:50:53
So, do you have any other place to stay other than with your
3:50:57
family at this point in time? For example, but he wouldn't
3:51:02
want nobody else better than just.
3:51:04
Okay. No.
3:51:07
No, that's fine. But you're just gonna have to
3:51:09
start doing what you need to do. And then you gotta have to
3:51:13
re-enter to this counseling. Okay, we have no right?
3:51:19
Yeah. Yeah, right.
3:51:29
Well, there's no idea doesn't go where you are.
3:51:32
Well, I don't have the money was all right probation.
3:51:35
Do you all have bus passes? I need to check judge.
3:51:39
We used to offer bus passes. I know those are also limited
3:51:42
the other issue with the counseling you're on the no call
3:51:46
no show so he was not known as playing.
3:51:48
All right, so maybe I'm gonna chalk that up as Miss
3:51:52
communication. But I mean you need to call them
3:51:56
but they don't ask me like I said text messages make sure
3:52:01
that with the text messages make sure that you show them the text
3:52:04
messages that you've been calling.
3:52:05
But what I want you to do is they just gonna see about a bus
3:52:11
pass for you. And then I'm going to want you
3:52:16
to call them and say that you're ready for counseling.
3:52:18
Yes and figure out if they are not unable to give you a bus
3:52:22
pass which they should be figure out more about here.
3:52:26
Ah, speak the probation about it.
3:52:30
Okay. All right, and then if for some
3:52:34
reason they don't have bus passes then see if you can
3:52:37
coordinate with your family as far as maybe give you some money
3:52:41
for a bus pass I think bus. is probably what four dollars now
3:52:47
going in I have ridden the bus and probably like four years.
3:52:55
I don't know if it's gone up when I first would write it.
3:52:57
It was maybe a dollar in some change.
3:52:59
So now at the most it's probably two dollars going and two
3:53:04
dollars back. All right, you need help with
3:53:07
anything else. Okay, just on the right.
3:53:13
Okay. All right, just make sure and
3:53:15
here's the thing if there's an issue come back and talk to me
3:53:17
about it. Whatever you do.
3:53:19
Don't just disappear. Don't just throw your hands up.
3:53:21
All right. All right.
3:53:24
All right. Thank you.
3:53:25
You need this thing? Yeah.
3:53:27
You know. it's just looked it up busting San Antonio a dollar 30.
3:53:43
They also have a reduced fare of 65 cents.
3:53:45
I don't know what you need to qualify for the reduced fare.
3:53:48
However, Okie dokie. Let's go back to judge Stevens.
3:54:38
Now, call 25c are 906 the state of Texas versus Aaron Middleton.
3:54:45
You are Mr, Middleton. Right, and you'll hear what Ms
3:54:49
now that you're turning in the state's attorney, You are
3:54:53
charged here sir by an indictment handed up by the
3:54:56
grand jury. July 30th of last year.
3:54:59
Alleging you committed, the second degree felony of sexual
3:55:04
assault. Do you understand what you are
3:55:08
charged with? You.
3:55:15
And that carries with it, if convicted no less.
3:55:18
Than two or more than 20 years, can find it in prison in a
3:55:22
finite to 10,000 dollars. Can be assessed, you'll
3:55:25
understand. There's a motion to reduce Bond.
3:55:29
The bond has been set at 215,000 dollars, and, Has.
3:55:44
The conversation report. So the defendant which is part
3:55:50
of the record for all purposes as quartz exhibit.
3:55:56
Number one. and, I don't see a criminal history.
3:56:04
Is that right? He has no other issues.
3:56:10
All right, so the capitalist and determining a bond is criminal
3:56:16
history. And circumstances of the crime
3:56:19
General, there's some other items that can be considered but
3:56:26
those are the two major. Factors in determining.
3:56:30
A bond. The court has looked at the
3:56:33
probable cause affidavit in this case, and, Your motion.
3:56:41
Go ahead, judge. We're just moving to have a bond
3:56:44
reduction. In this case, based on the fact
3:56:46
that he does not have any criminal history, he does have
3:56:49
children. In this area, he has a support
3:56:51
system from his mother though. She does live in Louisiana
3:56:54
herself, they are in constant contact with each other and he
3:56:58
realized on her for a lot of support emotionally and
3:57:01
everything else. But he has expressed to me that
3:57:03
he would get a job in the area. Let out on bond.
3:57:06
He would be willing to be put on ankle monitor.
3:57:08
He is just requesting that, that bond be reduced to an amount
3:57:13
that he could afford, given that he is Indigent.
3:57:16
And I appointed and he has not been able to make the bond that
3:57:19
has currently been set. Um, judge judge.
3:57:27
I just like to point out that we talk, you just discuss the
3:57:31
circumstances of the offense that this was a, the victim here
3:57:34
was a stranger and this was his first time meeting that victim,
3:57:38
also defense, defense counsel just said, his ties are in
3:57:42
another state. His ties are in Louisiana.
3:57:44
That's where his family is, that's where he comes from.
3:57:46
She mentioned kids, I can't say that kids help keep a defendant
3:57:53
in line and doing what he's supposed to do, as well, as far
3:57:56
as long goes and if we look in the, in the case File here, It
3:58:01
shows that the job he took through the Walmart delivery was
3:58:05
actually through his kids moms account.
3:58:08
So I don't even show that he has his own job to where he was
3:58:13
working. So I like the court to consider
3:58:14
that in considering the defendant's bond reduction.
3:58:23
Okay, so a delivery driver of reporting to be Affiliated
3:58:34
Walmart. The defendant.
3:58:38
Arrives at the victim's home, reporting to deliver groceries.
3:58:49
and, Corey, the public cause affidavit.
3:58:59
The defendant reportedly took the victim's phone to confirm
3:59:04
the order. And this it was at this time
3:59:08
that the victim believes that the defendant, put his contact
3:59:11
number into her phone without her consent.
3:59:15
And message himself. according to victim this, she did not know
3:59:22
this occurred until after The. Crime, occurs.
3:59:28
And The victim. Let the definite inside her
3:59:36
apartment purporting. To be part of the delivering
3:59:42
groceries. And there is apparently video
3:59:47
footage from the person's home of this.
3:59:51
The defendant entering. The defendant put her delivery
3:59:57
of groceries on in the kitchen, suddenly grabbed her forced her
4:00:01
into the living room. And according to the victims.
4:00:05
Removed, her clothing penetrated.
4:00:09
Her vagina, which his penis and sexually assaulted that.
4:00:14
All this was done without any consent of the Bay.
4:00:19
After. The assault.
4:00:26
He began messaging her on her phone.
4:00:31
She called the police department.
4:00:35
And Beaumont Police Department. Went.
4:00:40
For a sexual assault nurse examiner examination. and, the
4:00:52
song was number was traced back to the defendant as the Belmont
4:00:58
Police Department. Took up the investigation. and,
4:01:12
They met within Miranda's Tim. He wished to waive his rights
4:01:18
and speak with police. It is alleged here, that the
4:01:23
defendant initially lied to the investigators.
4:01:27
Advising had no sexual contact with morning.
4:01:31
He recounted those lies and admitted to having sexual
4:01:35
contact with it. all right, so that's what we're
4:02:01
standing on the probable, cause half a David, and The state is.
4:02:11
Intending that. The bond should not be reduced.
4:02:15
That's correct. Engine.
4:02:16
Defense is a requesting of reduction of Bosch.
4:02:20
Is there anything else? All right?
4:02:29
A court is going to find that the bond in this amount.
4:02:35
Is a fairly addressed a determined Bond.
4:02:40
For these reasons. The.
4:02:45
What we have here is. The probable cause affidavit as
4:02:50
well as victims statement. that alleged, that the defendant
4:03:00
misused. A.
4:03:10
Role of a position of trust with.
4:03:16
Purporting to be in associated with a major entity that
4:03:21
delivers groceries people have to be able to trust that that's
4:03:25
going to happen when they need delivery service.
4:03:30
That is provided that they are safe in their home because
4:03:35
they're going to open their home.
4:03:37
And the delivery person is going to deliver groceries inside.
4:03:41
And they have to be able to trust that they're not going to
4:03:43
be sexually assaulted. and this position of trust, it's, it's
4:03:50
bad enough when there's not a position of trust issue, but
4:03:52
when there is a position of trust, people are put in a more
4:03:56
vulnerable state. Of a position of believing that
4:04:02
there's a trust relationship. And when there is not one, their
4:04:07
defense is down and they are subject to misuse.
4:04:12
And Criminal harm as in this case.
4:04:24
So, the court finds that we have some some factors which, or
4:04:34
Extraordinary. but, Or very punitive and people have to be
4:04:42
able to trust that major and the entities.
4:04:45
It's we've got all kinds of victims here.
4:04:47
You got the entity that he purported to represent.
4:04:52
They're going to lose trust. When people can misuse it like,
4:04:58
it is alleged to the defendant did.
4:05:02
And then the people who are recipients, and many of those
4:05:06
people are, can't get out their Homebound and they're
4:05:10
vulnerable. and, this court takes a strong stance against
4:05:15
criminality, especially criminal actions that are Taken upon
4:05:23
people who are. Vulnerable.
4:05:28
As in this case, So, the cool finds the 2157 million dollars
4:05:39
Bond. specially in light of what is lost here and that is a
4:05:45
sexual assault. A lady.
4:05:54
Is a most serious offense and that's why it's legislature as
4:06:00
enacted crime of this nature as a second agreements, carrying
4:06:05
with it up to 20 years in prison.
4:06:06
So we have to be able to trust and when we can't do that and
4:06:11
people take advantage of it, then they are more culpable in
4:06:17
the criminal. So I find that the bond is fair
4:06:22
under these circumstances. And what we have here a
4:06:28
Pandora's Box that can be open or not only.
4:06:37
People. deciding that they can't trust a delivery when they need
4:06:43
it, but also major entities are going to be harmed when they
4:06:48
can't provide service to people who want to Because who, who are
4:06:54
customers? Who need?
4:06:57
Help getting items to their home.
4:07:00
And this is just a most serious. Scenario.
4:07:05
And if we can't trust this method, Delivery of items then
4:07:15
it breaks down severely and he cannot method in these in the
4:07:20
United States and and that has a serious price when somebody
4:07:27
interferes with it. So, The request is enough.
4:07:31
What do we do next? So, we have another resetting on
4:07:33
the announcement Docket in four weeks.
4:07:35
I believe across Peter Moore is going to reach out to the victim
4:07:37
to see. Kind of what herbs in
4:07:43
persistent. Always said hold itself.
4:07:46
Thank you. All right, I've got All right,
4:07:56
friends and there we see one of the issues that we have with a
4:07:59
gig economy. Is you really need a high trust
4:08:02
Society for it to work, right? And I don't know that we're a
4:08:05
high trust Society at the moment, so we have issues like
4:08:08
that unfortunate to be sure. Hate to end on a downer kind of
4:08:13
case, but that does bring an ending to the day here at TCF.
4:08:16
