  Good morning. Good morning, you faithful and
• 0:04
  true. Happy Wednesday to me and to all
• 0:06
  of you too. It's TCF Live where the gavel
• 0:08
  goes clack. I'm Dan Soul, your guide.
• 0:11
  Won't you hop on my back? We're off on a quest through
• 0:14
  Courtlandia Bright, where the courtrooms are bustling from
• 0:17
  morning till night. For the next hours 3 we'll ride
• 0:21
  through the land with real cases unfolding just as they were
• 0:24
  planned. They'll be lots of orange in the
• 0:27
  jumpsuit. So bold and judges who lecture
• 0:31
  as stories are told. Some will pay fines, some will
• 0:35
  plead, some will stall while we watch with our eyes and our
• 0:39
  hearts and our all. We don't know the city or the
• 0:42
  judge will meet first, but we'll find out together.
• 0:46
  Oh what a fine burst. McNally or Simpson or someone
• 0:49
  brand new with ruling so clever they'll make you say whoo.
• 0:54
  We'll settle in. Comfy.
• 0:55
  Grab coffee or tea. We're about to begin.
• 0:58
  Come journey with me. I'm Dan Soul, your host.
• 1:01
  With a rhyme and a grin. Let's dive into Cortlandia.
• 1:05
  Let the fun now begin and. We got out.
• 1:22
  Good morning to my friend Louis. Good.
• 1:27
  Best to you your final days. Anyway, yesterday morning, very
• 1:36
  early after I got up and did all my exercises, I got a text that
• 1:40
  said the courthouse still had no power and hoped to.
• 1:43
  Open by 9 and. We got a message that we hoped
• 1:46
  to open by noon and we got a message that we don't have any
• 1:51
  power and we didn't have any power until sometime late.
• 1:54
  Last. Night.
• 1:55
  There was a jury trial scheduled for this morning in this
• 1:58
  courtroom with Judge Patterson, because he didn't know whether
• 2:01
  we'd have power today or not, he cancelled the jury trial.
• 2:08
  So yesterday as a lost day and there's a lot of things to
• 2:13
  reschedule. There were a bunch of pre exam
• 2:15
  conferences. There were six preliminary
• 2:18
  examinations scheduled for yesterday afternoon, a number of
• 2:21
  which were in custody and we haven't dealt with any of that
• 2:28
  yet. So we're just going to do
• 2:31
  today's. Business so this.
• 2:32
  Morning. I'll be using this courtroom
• 2:35
  because there's no jury trial. We have some arraignments.
• 2:38
  I think Vivian will be joining us shortly.
• 2:41
  One of our yesterday defendants came in today, which we
• 2:44
  appreciate will handle her arraignment.
• 2:47
  Let us have a couple of bench warrants and then I have a
• 2:50
  sentencing at 11. Then this afternoon we have a
• 2:56
  trial on a termination of tenancy case.
• 3:00
  From the mobile home. Park here in Centerville.
• 3:02
  I blocked out the entire afternoon and I hope that's long
• 3:05
  enough. Someone is indicating there are
• 3:09
  still sound issues. Sound in this room is so bad.
• 3:16
  I thought we'd work that out. Some of it maybe that might.
• 3:22
  Anyway, the sound issues are bad and we're trying to see if we
• 3:25
  remedy, so my apologies if it's that terrible.
• 3:29
  I think we can hear it in here. As you may have seen, last week
• 3:33
  I had a terrible problem with one of the litigants and
• 3:37
  landlord tenant case, and I don't know if it was.
• 3:41
  It wasn't me because I can hear everybody else.
• 3:44
  I think it was where she was coming from.
• 3:46
  Then we just had a communication problem.
• 3:49
  We did not have a song of the day yesterday because we don't
• 3:52
  have any court today. All you get is down in Jamaica.
• 4:00
  They got lots of pretty women. Steal your money.
• 4:05
  Then they break your heart. We'll share that little moment
• 4:10
  of humanity. All right, I'm going to turn off
• 4:13
  the chat. Get the business.
• 4:16
  Miss Jackson is here. Mr. Reed is here.
• 4:21
  Sorry to Miss Jackson, but I have to pause.
• 4:25
  Lindsay, thank you for the 1999. Very much appreciate it.
• 4:28
  I had a lot of fun writing that this morning, so I'm glad you
• 4:30
  all enjoyed it. And again, hopefully I can do
• 4:33
  the closing equal justice, but that one's going to have a
• 4:36
  little less thought, so we're going to do it on the fly.
• 4:38
  So we'll see how it goes. Anyways, back to Judge.
• 4:46
  Well, we had. We have the echo.
• 4:52
  I don't sure that we can fix that because of the size of this
• 4:56
  room. Anyway, we'll do the best we
• 4:59
  can. Hopefully you can hear this.
• 5:02
  We can hear it. Some people are still without
• 5:16
  power. Couple of employees are not here
• 5:21
  yet. I'm not sure whether Judge
• 5:22
  Patterson has power or not, but he is here.
• 5:26
  All right, this is the time for some arraignments.
• 5:31
  And let's see who we've got. Mr. Rubio, do you need an
• 5:42
  interpreter? All right.
• 5:44
  She should be joining us shortly.
• 5:47
  I don't know why it's. Always a big.
• 5:49
  Surprise that we need an interpreter when we have a bunch
• 5:54
  of people with Hispanic surnames.
• 5:56
  But let's start with Tyrus Morford.
• 5:59
  Could you come forward, please, right up to the podium here and
• 6:04
  let me see the top copy of your advice of rights?
• 6:21
  Well, when I first came in this morning about 7:15, none of
• 6:25
  these were in my. Queue.
• 6:28
  Because we weren't here yesterday.
• 6:31
  So let's see if they made it. There they are.
• 6:42
  Thank you, Stephanie. All right, Tyrus Arthur, William
• 7:07
  Morford from Coldwater. Good morning to you, Sir.
• 7:11
  You got a ticket for driving with a suspended license.
• 7:14
  It's a misdemeanor. It's punishable by up to 93 days
• 7:17
  in jail. Fine of up to $500.
• 7:20
  They wrote that under Sturgis ordinance.
• 7:24
  You. Have an impaired driving charge
• 7:27
  over in Cal Creek and so we have a couple.
• 7:33
  Of them which has. Caused your license to be SIS
• 7:35
  Revolt, Mr. Reed. Do you have any?
• 7:41
  Thought on this. Wasn't on a cell phone.
• 7:46
  When you got pulled over for it. So, but I would say that we'd
• 7:49
  offered no ballots 7301. All right, that's a pretty
• 7:54
  generous offer. You're charged with driving
• 7:56
  suspended and you're suspended because you have two drunk
• 8:02
  drivings and A7. May I speak to him just a
• 8:06
  moment? Yes.
• 8:07
  OK. Can I come outside for a moment?
• 8:09
  Yeah. That's.
• 8:18
  The last information. Would you see if you can tell
• 8:31
  how Mr. Moore forgot him? We don't for for now, forever or
• 8:42
  suspension. If.
• 8:47
  You've mentioned, but your record is pretty, so you're a
• 8:52
  long way from getting all. Right. 1.
• 9:04
  More thing to discuss at the security meeting next week.
• 9:09
  It's up to you. Just know that your your record
• 9:22
  shows that you're going to be a while getting the license, so it
• 9:25
  probably won't affect sitting along eventually it's just going
• 9:29
  to be on the suspension, OK? All right, what you're charged
• 9:52
  with driving suspended is a misdemeanor.
• 9:55
  It's punishable by up to 93 days in jail, and a fine of up to
• 9:58
  $500 requires that your license be suspended.
• 10:03
  Further, Mr. Reed, the city attorney, has offered to reduce
• 10:07
  that charge to a charge of driving with no valid operator's
• 10:10
  license. That is a misdemeanor.
• 10:13
  It's punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to
• 10:17
  $100. It carries 2 points, but it does
• 10:21
  not carry a suspension. Do you understand?
• 10:24
  Yes, Sir. Are you willing to plead to that
• 10:26
  lesser charge of no valid operator's license?
• 10:31
  Yes, Sir. All right, Anybody threaten you
• 10:33
  to get you to plead to that charge?
• 10:35
  That's it. I promise you anything.
• 10:38
  That's it. Then you understand you'll be
• 10:40
  giving up all the rights here on your advice of rights.
• 10:43
  There won't be a trial if you plead to this.
• 10:46
  Do you understand? Yes, Sir.
• 10:48
  Where were you going? I was on my way to work so.
• 10:52
  Where do you work? Big B in South Sturgis.
• 10:57
  BP. Big B.
• 10:59
  What? The coffee shop?
• 11:00
  Oh, Big B, OK. 10 AM What time does your shift?
• 11:09
  Start. Well that was on my way out of
• 11:13
  work. Sorry, what's that?
• 11:14
  I don't really out of work. My girlfriend, she works at the
• 11:17
  North Sturgis store so I was driving to her so she could
• 11:20
  drive us both home. Yeah, you were talking on your
• 11:23
  phone. Yes.
• 11:25
  Dumb. All right, How'd you get here
• 11:27
  today? My friend, he's out in the
• 11:29
  parking lot at the moment. All right, what kind of car?
• 11:32
  Is he in a red Toyota Camry? All right, that's the first one
• 11:53
  of these. You can't drive.
• 11:55
  You're going to have a hard time getting your license.
• 11:57
  Back. It's a revolt.
• 11:59
  Which? Means seven years with no
• 12:01
  license. Well, excuse me, five years with
• 12:04
  no license if you get 2 and seven if you're in a sobriety
• 12:08
  court program, you can get a license with an interlock.
• 12:12
  But you are a revolt. And that's a tough spot to be in
• 12:16
  where you're as young as you are and you live in cold water and
• 12:18
  you work in Sturgis. You can't drive.
• 12:24
  Plus you had a bunch of other baggage on there.
• 12:28
  So we used to get that wrapped around your head for $225.
• 12:35
  Can you pay that by May 31st? Yes, Sir.
• 13:03
  All right, you can use this. You can pay by credit card.
• 13:07
  There's instructions inside. You can use it.
• 13:10
  What? All right, your drivers out
• 13:13
  there, they confirmed that don't drive anymore, it'll make it
• 13:18
  worse and you'll go to jail anyway.
• 13:23
  You can pay by credit card, certified check and money order,
• 13:27
  or bring in green cash to the window right out there.
• 13:32
  Otherwise you're free to go. This was reduced to no valid
• 13:35
  OPS. Which was a.
• 13:36
  Pretty good deal. I didn't order any jail time.
• 13:39
  I just ordered the fine. I want you to pay it, then
• 13:42
  you're good to go. Thank you Sir all.
• 13:47
  Right. Good morning once again,
• 13:48
  everybody. It's TCF live.

• 15:39
  That's what we call them, yeah. A regular cigarette.
• 15:42
  Why don't you call it a cigarette?
• 15:44
  It's just nicknames we have for things.
• 15:46
  Who's we? Me and my friends.
• 15:49
  Where's Nick? Nick ain't here today.
• 15:51
  No, who's not? Why not?
• 15:53
  Because he had to work last night late.
• 16:00
  I should just play the recording of the last hearing.
• 16:05
  I understand. Because you're a little lower on
• 16:07
  the totem pole than she. Is I understand.
• 16:10
  Because you don't give a shit about any of this.
• 16:12
  I do. No, you don't.
• 16:14
  I do, your honor. No, you don't.
• 16:20
  Here, tell me if this sounds familiar.
• 16:25
  Yo brother, three things. One, let the girls at the club
• 16:30
  know that me and you will have the bag back in again.
• 16:36
  Finally, Especially Jade. Does that sound familiar?
• 16:39
  Yes. What does that mean?
• 16:42
  We'd usually just buy like buy them drinks and do everything.
• 16:45
  That bag means the money for me. OK, why don't you save money?
• 16:49
  That's just a termage we use, Sir.
• 16:52
  And why don't you use, like, the English language and stuff,
• 16:54
  like, regularly? Yeah, because we're and #2 thank
• 16:57
  you for everything you do and have done for me.
• 17:02
  It means the world to have a real brother.
• 17:05
  Nick. Nick's your real brother.
• 17:07
  He's, he's like a brother to me, yes.
• 17:11
  How long you know, Nick? Known him a long time.
• 17:14
  How long about? Five years.
• 17:16
  Does he do drugs with you? No, he doesn't do drugs.
• 17:20
  No, not at all. No.
• 17:22
  Do you do drugs? Yes, I do.
• 17:24
  OK, so why don't you, why don't you take some advice from Nick
• 17:30
  and not do drugs if he doesn't? Do what I plan.
• 17:32
  To do because Nick does drugs right?
• 17:35
  He doesn't do drugs. Three, get your car together and
• 17:40
  don't spend $300.00 at the club no more.
• 17:44
  We going to turn up when I'm a get us, right?
• 17:48
  What does that mean? I'm going to get us together
• 17:50
  because he was slacking on his car payment, so when I get out I
• 17:53
  was going to help him get together.
• 17:54
  Can't even help yourself. I I plan to.
• 17:57
  But you can't, because you don't.
• 17:59
  Because you won't. I, I have the, I have the
• 18:02
  ability to now. No, you don't.
• 18:05
  When things get hard, just look at this message and remember you
• 18:08
  got a brother and me and I'm a do whatever I can to get us
• 18:12
  together financially and to make us comfortable from jail.
• 18:18
  From jail. Text my dad, tell him you need
• 18:21
  700 for my rent in May. Rent in quotation marks.
• 18:26
  We will use that for Detroit and to pay whatever bills we need
• 18:29
  what's in Detroit. We're going to take a trip to
• 18:32
  Detroit. To do what?
• 18:34
  Just go out of state. Is that where you get your pills
• 18:37
  out of Detroit, where most people around here get them?
• 18:39
  I don't do pills. You don't do pills.
• 18:41
  No, you don't do. You don't do.
• 18:43
  I don't do pills. Right OK so you you're going to
• 18:48
  scam $700.00 from your dad and have Nick say it's rent.
• 18:53
  The part of it's going to rent and the rest of it was going to
• 18:55
  and. That's not what you told Nick,
• 18:57
  right? You tell him it's for rent and
• 19:00
  we'll go to Detroit, right? I thought you needed 300 bucks
• 19:04
  for Nick for his car. That's what I'm saying.
• 19:07
  We were splitting. We were splitting the money up
• 19:08
  between his car, rent and Detroit.
• 19:12
  You. You.
• 19:13
  You expect me to believe that that's the truth?
• 19:15
  Yeah. But you expect me to believe
• 19:17
  that? No, I I don't expect you to
• 19:19
  believe anything. I'm just telling you that's the
• 19:20
  truth. OK, you you're not familiar with
• 19:23
  the truth. No, I guess.
• 19:24
  Not you haven't. No, you, you guessed right.
• 19:26
  OK, you you're a little pissed off now.
• 19:29
  No, I'm not pissed off. Sounds like it.
• 19:31
  I'm not pissed off at all. Keep your head up bro and stay
• 19:36
  safe. I would like for you to come to
• 19:39
  my court date and speak on my behalf.
• 19:45
  Love you gang and I can't wait to get out to smoke a blizzy
• 19:49
  with my boy and chase the bag in our future in Florida.
• 19:53
  What future in Florida? He invited me to move to
• 19:55
  Florida. He's got a guy who has one of
• 19:59
  his buddies at the landscaping company down there.
• 20:01
  And he thought it would be good for me to just get out of the
• 20:03
  state, get away from everybody that I know and everything that
• 20:05
  I know and just start somewhere fresh.
• 20:07
  Which I agree is a pretty good idea.
• 20:10
  Because I, I'm tired of being in Ohio and being around the people
• 20:12
  that I'm around. Because it just always ends up
• 20:14
  in me either doing drugs or being around dumb stuff.
• 20:18
  And I'm just tired of it. Well, there's dumb stuff in
• 20:22
  Florida, too. I get it.
• 20:23
  But, you know, at least I have a chance to start over.
• 20:26
  And I don't know anybody down there.
• 20:28
  So I don't plan on really getting to know anybody.
• 20:31
  I just want to, you know, I can, I can do a lot more things down
• 20:34
  there then I can't hear. You know, I can go fishing.
• 20:36
  I can go to the beach. I can, you know, do things like
• 20:39
  that. I can catch snakes.
• 20:40
  How about how about going to work and getting sober?
• 20:43
  I have, I have three jobs lined up as soon as I get out of here
• 20:45
  if I'm allowed to get out and they're willing to hold my
• 20:50
  position still. May 10th and I've been talking
• 20:53
  to them about it. I got offered the third job
• 20:56
  yesterday. Well, I thought you were going
• 20:58
  to Florida. Yes, we're going in the end of
• 21:00
  September. So I have three jobs here lined
• 21:03
  up until and I can save money until I get to September.
• 21:06
  And when I get to September, we move out there.
• 21:09
  I'll have a safety net set up and then I can get everything
• 21:14
  done and I can have a job out there where I can work all year
• 21:17
  doing something that I love. You're a scam artist is what you
• 21:27
  are. So your dad's here today.
• 21:50
  Yes, Sir. Why is your dad here today?
• 21:54
  Because he supports me and loves me.
• 21:56
  What the Why do you continue to denigrate your mother and
• 22:00
  father? I have issues and I need to work
• 22:08
  on them but. But you don't.
• 22:11
  That's why I want to do what I need to do and get out and get
• 22:15
  be by myself so I don't have to, you know, I want to, I need to
• 22:18
  do this on my own and I, I don't need to be asking my parents for
• 22:21
  help. And that's why I've been in jail
• 22:24
  working to get my job so. How?
• 22:25
  How is this doing it on your own?
• 22:27
  Been working out so far. I haven't been on my own, so I
• 22:31
  it's not been working well because I resort back to using
• 22:34
  people and, you know, now I have an opportunity where I can go to
• 22:38
  work, be by my be on my own with, you know, one roommate and
• 22:42
  we work and we go home and we sleep and we repeat it.
• 22:45
  Well, besides going to the club and spending.
• 22:48
  Money on these girls. That's what he did.
• 22:50
  I'm not. I don't have any intentions of
• 22:51
  going to the club. Let the girls at the club know
• 22:55
  that me and you will have the bag back in again finally.
• 22:59
  Especially Jade. Who's Jade?
• 23:00
  One of my friends. Is that a?
• 23:02
  Is that a girl or a guy? It's.
• 23:04
  A girl, But I I have no intentions of going to the club,
• 23:07
  Your Honor. You did when you wrote.
• 23:08
  This I, I did and I don't know, honestly, I, I spent my birthday
• 23:13
  in here yesterday and I did a lot of thinking over the last 82
• 23:16
  days and I, I just want to get to work, go home, do what I need
• 23:19
  to do, stay away from everybody. You know my my main dealer who
• 23:22
  gives me all my drugs is in jail right now.
• 23:24
  Who's that? Dante Smith.
• 23:27
  Dante Smith, well, he was just here last week, wasn't he?
• 23:31
  Yeah. And that's the only person I
• 23:32
  trust with anything like that. And I don't, honestly, I'm just.
• 23:36
  You trust Dante Smith? With my drugs he gave me, you
• 23:39
  know, and honestly, I'm tired of it.
• 23:41
  I don't want to be doing this anymore.
• 23:42
  I'm, I'm, I'm over partying. It's just, I want to just get to
• 23:46
  work, do what I need to do, go home, sleep and do it all over
• 23:50
  again. And I want to move to Florida so
• 23:51
  I can just pursue hobbies that I want to do and end up owning my
• 23:55
  own business and just work, work hard.
• 23:58
  I know I can do it because I've done it before.
• 24:01
  And, you know, spending this last 82 days in jail, I've, I
• 24:04
  felt better about myself now than I have how.
• 24:06
  Many days, Cindy, So about your honor, on the PV, no, on the PV
• 24:11
  83 days here 83. And I'm. 83 valuable days.
• 24:18
  Yep. And I've gotten to do a lot of
• 24:20
  thinking. I pray every day and every
• 24:22
  night. I've been working out every day,
• 24:24
  you know, I've been taking care of my hygiene and my health, and
• 24:30
  I'm just kind of ready to move on and start a new chapter in my
• 24:34
  life. You know, this chapter's been 10
• 24:35
  years of my life, you know, minus a couple.
• 24:38
  And, you know, I felt, I feel like I do now, like I felt in
• 24:41
  2021 when I had a lot of success and I wasn't doing stupid things
• 24:46
  and I was around good people. And then I fell into a hole.
• 24:49
  I got into a really crappy relationship and started doing
• 24:53
  drugs that I've never done before.
• 24:54
  And it led me down a dark path and I'm here.
• 24:58
  You've been tired, you've been playing around with drugs since
• 25:00
  you were like, for for 10 years, right?
• 25:03
  Yeah, 15, that's when I started. And, you know, I, I, I didn't do
• 25:07
  any, you know, I was doing things and I never thought I
• 25:09
  would touch cocaine or heroin or anything like that.
• 25:12
  And those things I ended up doing and I regret it, you know,
• 25:16
  but I'm at the point in my life where I just spent another
• 25:19
  birthday locked up and I'm 27 years old and I, I want to have
• 25:22
  something to show for my life. And you know, that's why I've
• 25:26
  been working to secure my jobs because I have three of them
• 25:29
  lined up and I've been securing to keep the place that I have
• 25:33
  over my head so I'm not homeless and.
• 25:36
  Well, I'm trying to scam 700 out of your dad.
• 25:39
  That's what you're trying to do. Not, not not anymore.
• 25:42
  I'm honestly, I'm just I told him to give it to to Nick and
• 25:45
  you and you can pay the rent. I'm not I don't need anything
• 25:47
  else from I'm not going to Detroit.
• 25:49
  You know, I was. That's before I really started
• 25:51
  thinking about what I need to do.
• 25:52
  Well, you can do whatever you want to do.
• 25:57
  Because. You always do whatever you want
• 25:59
  to do. You've.
• 26:01
  Been you've been you've been doing whatever you want to do
• 26:07
  for 15 years, despite your your parents support, you've been
• 26:15
  just even using them because that's who you are.
• 26:19
  You're a user of people. I do not want to be that.
• 26:24
  Well, then don't do it. That's the plan.
• 26:27
  That's the plan. You know, the plans are good.
• 26:30
  Plans are good. You don't, you haven't, you
• 26:33
  haven't given me a plan. You've given me a rosy outcome
• 26:39
  of where you're going to be when you when you get to where you
• 26:43
  are. You don't have a plan.
• 26:44
  And if you had a plan, your problem is you don't execute any
• 26:48
  plans if you've ever come up with a plan.
• 26:50
  When I put my head to something, I can do it your.
• 26:53
  Plan was to, you know, go to the clubs and.
• 26:55
  And it's not going to happen to work.
• 26:59
  Go home. I don't listen.
• 27:00
  I don't care what you say. It doesn't matter what you say.
• 27:03
  Because if there's one thing you've consistently done since
• 27:07
  you've had this case, it's lie. OK, So I don't have any control
• 27:12
  over that, so I'm not going to listen to it.
• 27:14
  So I don't care what you say. But here's the plan.
• 27:18
  You've done 333 days of incarceration on a felony 5.
• 27:23
  You know how many? You know what the number of days
• 27:25
  on a felony 5 is? 365. 365 S you wasted almost a
• 27:32
  year. Yes, Sir, on.
• 27:33
  This nonsense, I know you and your bro Nick, right?
• 27:46
  And your good friend Dante Smith.
• 27:49
  So you are going to be, you're going to be on community
• 27:53
  control. You're going to serve 115 days
• 27:57
  in jail with credit for 83. Now, that means there's 32 days
• 28:03
  left on your jail sentence and all the terms still apply.
• 28:10
  Now, the good news for you is when you finish your 32 days,
• 28:15
  that's the most I can do to you. So you'll be off probation.
• 28:19
  So you've managed to complete your four years of community
• 28:24
  control 2 1/2 years early because you did all your days in
• 28:31
  jail. So congratulations on that.
• 28:33
  And then you're going to get out and you're going to do whatever
• 28:38
  you damn well please. And my guess is it's going to be
• 28:44
  more of the same. Now, if it's more of the same
• 28:48
  and you get caught again in Lake County, guess who automatically
• 28:51
  gets your case right? Anything else?
• 28:55
  All right. Quite want to apologize to your
• 29:00
  father. If you caught that, let me know.
• 29:07
  Judge on the way out, just set out.
• 29:08
  You ought to apologize to somebody, but I didn't catch who
• 29:12
  he said, so if you did, put it in the chat for me.
• 29:15
  Good morning once again, everybody.
• 29:16
  TCF live. That was an interesting,
• 29:20
  interesting start there for Judge O'Donnell.
• 29:23
  Somehow not surprising though. Let's go to a different kind of
• 29:27
  grumpy and straightforward. Let's go to Royal Oak and our
• 29:30
  favorite match is straight. Good morning, we have Emma
• 29:37
  Silly. This is 26 Hour row 013O1 Mr.
• 29:55
  Thompson. This ticket was issued on the
• 29:58
  8th of March. Fall back for 11:00 in the
• 30:02
  morning in the area of Crooks Rd. in Estonia.
• 30:07
  You were cited for speeding. The ticket was issued at 48 and
• 30:12
  a 30. You can admit or deny
• 30:14
  responsibility, or you can admit responsibility with an
• 30:18
  explanation. Or do you wish to proceed?
• 30:22
  Good morning, Judge. I I will admit responsibility
• 30:25
  with, I guess, an explanation, Sir.
• 30:29
  And what is that please? To be quite honest with you, I
• 30:32
  drove across from West Bloomfield on the side roads.
• 30:35
  I was trying to get to a bicycle meet point for a bicycle ride
• 30:39
  Sunday morning. I was unfamiliar with the with
• 30:42
  the area and I admit I was speeding once told and I I just
• 30:48
  I wasn't sure. And I think in my mind I thought
• 30:51
  it was a 40 area and I was hovering around 40.
• 30:54
  And I'm really sorry for it. And you know, I'm just looking
• 30:59
  for some, you know, some way to, you know, to mercy on it.
• 31:06
  That's all that that that's it. I can't I can't say anything
• 31:09
  other I I did do it. Is there anything you want to
• 31:12
  add to this officer? Yes, Judge, I remember Mr.
• 31:18
  Thomas, Sally. I appreciated his demeanor on
• 31:21
  the traffic stop. He was very respectful and I'd
• 31:26
  be willing to make a motion to lower this to impeding.
• 31:28
  Traffic. Thank you very.
• 31:32
  Much so, the impeding is not a moving violation, therefore it
• 31:35
  carries no points. OK.
• 31:38
  So it does not appear in your record as a moving violation.
• 31:41
  It does carry a fine of $175. I'm I'm willing to pay the fine.
• 31:47
  Yeah. Of course that beats the points.
• 31:50
  Yeah, I, I have two young teenage drivers, you know, I
• 31:53
  again, I really, I am sorry for it.
• 31:55
  It's stupid. And I was just, I don't know
• 31:57
  where my mind was at. I think I was nervous about
• 32:00
  trying to find the ride location and getting there in time or.
• 32:03
  There's research that shows the average driver commits a civil
• 32:06
  infraction every three blocks. We're all making mistakes, and
• 32:11
  the vast majority of those mistakes have no consequences
• 32:14
  whatsoever. And sometimes a relatively minor
• 32:18
  mistake can have tragic consequences.
• 32:21
  So the good news here is there there was an infraction, nobody
• 32:25
  got hurt, and there's no points. And the you can pay this online,
• 32:29
  or you could send in a check or pay it at the courthouse counter
• 32:32
  if that's more convenient for you.
• 32:34
  Yeah, I'll pay it today on my way out.
• 32:36
  Yes, Sir. Thank you.
• 32:38
  And thank you to the police officer.
• 32:40
  I'm sorry about wasting your time of.
• 32:43
  Course, well, they they actually pay him to do that, so they do
• 32:46
  it. So you are you're good to go.
• 32:52
  So thank you. OK.
• 32:53
  Will will it be immediately able to be paid?
• 32:58
  Yes, OK. Thank you.
• 32:59
  Very much have a fantastic day. Thank you.
• 33:02
  You too. Do you have that?
• 33:14
  Are we all set? Yes.
• 33:29
  Yeah, Miss Wilson, this is 26 R row 013O3 you sent.
• 33:35
  In a. Copy of the receipt for the
• 33:40
  renewal of the plate that was dated March 23rd.
• 33:43
  When you were stopped, were your plates expired?
• 33:46
  Yes. And and officer.
• 33:50
  The plates were renewed on the 23rd of March.
• 33:53
  Yes, correct. Is there anything you want to
• 33:58
  add to some sorry, I think the officer?
• 34:01
  In therapy, though. So.
• 34:04
  Unfortunately at the time. You know, I'm asking the officer
• 34:07
  if there's anything that he wants to add to it now.
• 34:09
  Oh. OK, I'm sorry.
• 34:11
  If she has her plates renewed, yes, I would be willing to
• 34:14
  dismiss this ticket. OK, Miss Wilson, the ticket is
• 34:18
  dismissed thanks to the officer's motion, so you are
• 34:21
  good to go. Thank you so much.
• 34:22
  I really appreciate that. Have a good day.
• 34:26
  OK. You too.
• 34:27
  OK, bye. Thanks, Officer.
• 34:37
  Believe that's all I have today. I thanks.
• 34:41
  So that information from Magistrate Chisholm saying that
• 34:45
  the average person commits A violation every three blocks.
• 34:49
  At first that struck me as extreme, but then I thought
• 34:53
  about it and the trips I've taken out lately, and yeah, it's
• 34:57
  probably true. Any who, let's head down to
• 35:01
  Florida. Judge Mercer.
• 35:05
  Been accused of one kind of possession of cocaine and one
• 35:08
  kind of lowering or prowling. You also have a no bond warrant
• 35:12
  out of Orange County, Florida. Mr. Bright there is probable
• 35:15
  cause for the lowering and prowling.
• 35:17
  I'm not sure there's probable cause on the second charge.
• 35:20
  I sent a text to the attorneys this morning because the officer
• 35:24
  never says how he identifies the substance as cocaine.
• 35:27
  He never mentions a lab test or a field test of any kind.
• 35:31
  So Mr. Mitchell, anything from the state on that?
• 35:33
  Yes, Your Honor, I did get in contact with Captain Bassford
• 35:36
  over the patrol division. He said that Lieutenant Aurorio
• 35:43
  field tested the substance that was found and it did test
• 35:46
  presumptive for cocaine. They said that just wasn't
• 35:49
  included in the affidavit and complaint.
• 35:52
  So they're going to send an amended complaint and saying
• 35:54
  that they field tested it and that it tested presented
• 35:57
  positive for cocaine all. Right, thank you.
• 36:00
  So Mr. McDaniel, I can either find no probable cause and and
• 36:05
  hold him and give them a chance to fix that, or if you wish to
• 36:08
  go ahead and get him a bond set, I'll be glad to do that.
• 36:10
  If he wants to weigh that, that yeah, we just want a bond.
• 36:15
  We just want a bond you honor. OK, someone still ask you to
• 36:17
  notify them of the of the air and deficiency.
• 36:19
  Mr. McDaniels not contesting that issue because he wants to
• 36:22
  get his client a bond set, which is understandable.
• 36:24
  So, Mr. Bride, I'm going to go ahead and set your bond at $7500
• 36:27
  on the cocaine and $3500 on the lowering and prowling.
• 36:31
  But you have no bond out of Orange County.
• 36:33
  Your bond in Jackson County, it becomes a total of $11,000 with
• 36:37
  a condition of random urinalysis.
• 36:39
  And if you post bond, Mr. Bright, you'll be released
• 36:42
  immediately, but you'll go to, you'll go to Orange County when
• 36:45
  they pick you up to deal with those charges down there.
• 36:47
  And as I mentioned, they have given you no bond on that
• 36:50
  warrant. As far as your court date in
• 36:52
  Jackson County, your court date should be June the 2nd at 8:30
• 36:57
  and the Corporal Campbell will give you a notice for that date
• 37:00
  before you leave the jail. Mr. Bright, do you have any
• 37:03
  questions, Sir? Yeah, can I get it is.
• 37:26
  There the possibility I can get a reduced bond.
• 37:28
  For a lot. Of problems.
• 37:30
  Based upon your criminal history, which is in front,
• 37:32
  which is what I'm holding up here, that's the bond I'm
• 37:35
  setting. Plus you already have charges
• 37:36
  pending somewhere else. Those are factors I look at Mr.
• 37:39
  Bryant. OK.
• 37:41
  All right, so I wish you the best.
• 37:43
  We have Alfred Jones next. Mr. Jones.
• 37:54
  Good morning, Mr. Jones. You're here for first
• 37:55
  appearance. Accused of one kind of loitering
• 37:57
  or prowling. There is probable cause for the
• 38:00
  charge. I'm looking at the text I was
• 38:02
  sent from the jail this morning, because the e-mail that is.
• 38:08
  Yeah, it was an e-mail sent by Corporal Gross advising me of
• 38:12
  your criminal history, which consists of over 300 pages.
• 38:17
  So you have the longest criminal history I've ever seen since
• 38:21
  I've been on criminal law work, which is 30 years, a little over
• 38:25
  30 years. Someone set your bond
• 38:27
  accordingly. Let me see if the attorneys have
• 38:28
  any additional information before I set that bond.
• 38:30
  Mr. McDaniel, anything. I just made the court aware just
• 38:34
  number of pages don't mean number of convictions.
• 38:36
  It doesn't mean it just means number of pages.
• 38:39
  Sometimes there's a page in there with one little lot,
• 38:41
  right? I mean, I'm just, you know, I
• 38:42
  don't want to set a bond based on how many pages that they
• 38:45
  print out. But I understand you are.
• 38:47
  I do understand. What you're saying?
• 38:48
  You're absolutely right. That's why I went to the
• 38:50
  Department of Corrections website and looked at his
• 38:52
  criminal history there, and he's probably got 30 felony
• 38:56
  convictions. He's been to prison.
• 38:58
  His last prison sentence was 19 years in the Department of
• 39:01
  Corrections. So Mr. Mitchell, anything I I
• 39:05
  didn't interrupt you, Mr. McDaniel, I just wanted to know
• 39:07
  I did. You're right, you're absolutely
• 39:08
  right. So I followed up with the next
• 39:09
  step because a lot of times it was that's a may could be a
• 39:12
  common name. I want to make sure that was all
• 39:14
  in fact his history and and it appears that it was.
• 39:19
  What was I about to say? Oh, yeah, Your honor.
• 39:22
  And this could also apply to Mr. Bright, I think we didn't touch
• 39:25
  on it, but we would also request no contact with the facility in
• 39:29
  question also. Yeah, I didn't even think about
• 39:31
  that. That's a reasonable request.
• 39:32
  So Mr. Jones, your bonds going to be $10,000 cash or surety
• 39:36
  because your criminal history is so horrible.
• 39:38
  You have a condition to have no contact with that facility.
• 39:41
  You do have the right to post the bond.
• 39:43
  Your court date will be misdemeanor court date.
• 39:49
  June 1st. June 1st at 9:00 AM And the jail
• 39:53
  will give you that notice. Mr. Jones.
• 39:56
  After first appearance, you will get to use the phone in a few
• 39:58
  minutes, Sir, to try to post the bond in just a little while as
• 40:02
  soon as first appearance is over.
• 40:03
  And Corporal, please make Mr. Bright aware that he also has a
• 40:06
  condition to have no contact with the Federal Bureau of
• 40:09
  Prisons property where he was accused of being owner near last
• 40:13
  night. Mr. Jones, do you have any
• 40:16
  questions, Sir? No, Sir.
• 40:18
  Wish you the best, Sir. What was this?
• 40:19
  Told Bond again. 10,000 times I have one charge, we have the
• 40:25
  Rico Pettis. Mr. Pettis, Good morning.
• 40:33
  Mr. Pettis, you're here in case number.
• 40:36
  Well, your charge of violation of state probation in case
• 40:39
  24-522, CF Mr. Pettis. Judge Garcia has signed a no
• 40:43
  bond warrant in your case. I'm going to go ahead and
• 40:48
  arraign you this morning, Sir. What that means is I'm going to
• 40:50
  advise you that you've been accused of violent.
• 40:51
  In terms of your probation, I'm going to appoint your lawyer if
• 40:54
  you're asking for one. Mr. Pettis, would you like to
• 40:57
  have an attorney appointed to represent you?
• 40:59
  Yes. I'm going to appoint the public
• 41:01
  Turner's office represent you. Mr. Pettis.
• 41:03
  Please listen to Mr. Mitchell and we'll listen to Mr.
• 41:06
  McDaniel. We'll go from there.
• 41:07
  Mr. McDaniel, I'm going to approve not guilty.
• 41:10
  Yes, since the June 4th pretrial docket.
• 41:12
  And I'm advising the attorney that I come speak to him prior
• 41:14
  to that hearing. All right, thank you.
• 41:19
  And Mr. Mr. Mitchell, anything? No, Your Honor.
• 41:23
  So Mr. Pettis, that'll be your court date and your attorney
• 41:26
  will see you before your court date.
• 41:28
  Mr. Pettis, do you have any questions?
• 41:31
  All. Right.
• 41:32
  Sorry. Wish you the best.
• 41:38
  Ria Lynn Cobb. Just Cobb.
• 41:42
  Good morning. You're here for first
• 41:43
  appearance. You are accused of 1 count of
• 41:46
  retail theft. There is probable cause for that
• 41:49
  charge. I also look at your criminal
• 41:51
  history, which is pretty extensive, but I think you may
• 41:54
  be entitled to a bond. I'm going to listen to the
• 41:55
  attorneys before I make that decision.
• 41:58
  Mr. Mitchell, Mr. McDaniel, anything?
• 42:02
  Mr. Mitchell? No.
• 42:04
  State, Your Honor. Miss Cobb, I'm going to set you
• 42:07
  a normal bond that was set for this charge with someone with
• 42:09
  some criminal history but not extensive.
• 42:11
  That bond is $2500 cash or surety.
• 42:14
  You have a condition to have no contact with any Walmart as a
• 42:17
  condition of the bond and as soon as you post the bond you'll
• 42:20
  be released. The jail will let you use the
• 42:22
  phone in just a few minutes to try to post the bond.
• 42:24
  They will also give you a notice for your court date which would
• 42:26
  be June 1st. June 1st at 9:00 AM.
• 42:30
  Miss Cobb, do you have any questions?
• 42:31
  No, Sir. Have a good day.
• 42:35
  Robert Thompson. Mr. Thompson, good morning.
• 42:40
  You're here because you've been accused of one kind of retail
• 42:42
  staff. Also there is probable cause.
• 42:44
  It's a Co defendant case with Miss Cobb.
• 42:47
  Mr. Mitchell, if you notify the officer, please in these cases,
• 42:51
  I can't find anywhere in here where it gives the total amount
• 42:54
  of the property allegedly stolen.
• 42:56
  So I have to assume it's a lowest degree misdemeanor.
• 43:01
  So it's it's likely that it'll be included on the offense
• 43:05
  report when it comes in and it may also have been returned to
• 43:08
  the store. So they still have to put it in
• 43:10
  the complaint so that I can determine first degree.
• 43:12
  It makes a difference for bond sometimes.
• 43:15
  So, Mr. Thompson, there's probable cause for a second
• 43:18
  degree misdemeanor. You have several prior charges,
• 43:21
  not super extensive, but you've got some prior criminal history.
• 43:24
  I think you're entitled to a bond unless there's something
• 43:26
  I've I've missed. I'm going to listen to the
• 43:29
  attorneys and then we're going to make that decision.
• 43:30
  Mr. McDaniel, anything. There you go, Mr. Mitchell.
• 43:34
  Nothing at this time, Your Honor.
• 43:35
  Mr. Thompson, you're going to have a $2500 bond just like your
• 43:38
  Co defendants cash or surety. You also have a condition no
• 43:41
  contact with any Walmart while the case is pending.
• 43:44
  You will get to use the phone in a few minutes, Sir, to try to
• 43:46
  post the bond. You also have given a notice for
• 43:49
  your court date, which should be June 1st at 9:00 AM.
• 43:53
  And Mr. Thompson, do you have any questions?
• 43:57
  All right, Sir. I wish you the best.
• 44:02
  We have Charles Dykes. Mr. Dykes, Good morning.
• 44:07
  You're here First appear. First appearance.
• 44:09
  Accusing 1 count of breach of the peace.
• 44:12
  There is probable cause for this charge.
• 44:14
  I'm familiar with your criminal history.
• 44:16
  I did take a look at it. Also.
• 44:17
  I've seen you fairly recently, Mr. Dykes.
• 44:21
  I think you're entitled to a bond, as far as I can tell.
• 44:24
  Let me listen to the attorneys and I'll set that bond.
• 44:27
  Mr. McDaniel. Anything bond, Donna.
• 44:30
  Mr. Mitchell. Nothing at this time, Your
• 44:34
  Honor. Mr. Dykes, based upon your
• 44:36
  criminal history, your bond is going to be $3500 cash or
• 44:39
  surety. You have a condition, not a
• 44:41
  possession or consume alcohol. Seems like when I do see you,
• 44:44
  it's usually alcohol related. If you get caught possessing or
• 44:46
  consuming alcohol, that will violate your bond.
• 44:49
  Mr. Dyke. I don't ever see you if there's
• 44:50
  no alcohol involved. Just you know it.
• 44:52
  Is what? Yes, Sir, it is what it is.
• 44:54
  You and my neighbor. Me and my neighbor headed out.
• 44:57
  We will, Mr. Dyke, they'll give you a notice for your court date
• 45:01
  which will be June 1st. And just stay away from alcohol
• 45:04
  until we can get this case worked out, Sir.
• 45:06
  And. I'm not any questions.
• 45:08
  Thanks Sir, I I don't wish. The best.
• 45:11
  Mr. Dyke, we have Angela Trim and Mr. Trim.
• 45:22
  Good morning. Mr. Trim, you have a warrant out
• 45:24
  of Holmes County, Florida. I've got a copy of the
• 45:27
  information from their Sheriff's Department and they say it's a
• 45:29
  violation of probation warrant with no bond.
• 45:31
  What that means, Mr. Trim, is you'll be held for them.
• 45:34
  They'll pick you up next day or two, possibly even today, but
• 45:38
  probably the next working day or two.
• 45:39
  You'll go to Holmes County. When you get over there, you'll
• 45:41
  go to another first appearance in front of a local judge and
• 45:44
  that local judge will address your bond status.
• 45:47
  But as of right now, you have no bond lease for the time being.
• 45:51
  Do you have any questions? All right, wish you the best,
• 45:56
  ma'am. Thank.
• 45:57
  You. Yes, ma'am.
• 46:01
  And I think we have the young man that was in the hospital.
• 46:04
  All right, Sir, Come on up. And your name, Sir?
• 46:14
  Jonathan Rains. OK, so Mr. McDaniel, Mr.
• 46:16
  Mitchell, if y'all remember Mr. Rains was first appeared last
• 46:19
  week, but he had a medical situation at the jail and see if
• 46:23
  I can find that case number. 25 Five. 42 OK After his medical
• 46:31
  situation, Mr. Rains, he was held with no bond because he was
• 46:34
  accused of violating the terms of his either probation or PTI.
• 46:37
  PTI. His offer was going to be 10
• 46:40
  days in jail, but due to his health he was not able to even
• 46:43
  talk to a lawyer. He was in jail with no bond.
• 46:46
  Then he got the medical situation got worse.
• 46:49
  He was admitted to the hospital. I gave him a medical furlough
• 46:53
  until yesterday, however he had court in Gadsden County
• 46:58
  yesterday. Thank you for letting me
• 46:59
  allowing me to go to that. No, no problem.
• 47:02
  So I he called and said I have court in Gaston County, which
• 47:04
  Mr. McDaniel had already told us about.
• 47:07
  So we just, I said and struggled ask Pamela to let tell him to be
• 47:10
  here this morning so we can figure out where we go from this
• 47:13
  case. So technically it's the end of a
• 47:14
  medical furlough. So tell me that your medical
• 47:16
  situation, obviously you're out of the hospital.
• 47:18
  When did you get out? As I remember, it was either
• 47:23
  Saturday, I'm not really sure what day it was because I was
• 47:26
  looking at my phone. But yeah, I got out not too long
• 47:30
  ago, about a week ago I think. OK.
• 47:33
  Judge, he was diagnosed with diabetes and his blood sugar, I
• 47:38
  think it's been around 800 and they've had to start training
• 47:42
  him on how to use insulin and other diabetic things.
• 47:47
  So they're going through a lot of training with him on that
• 47:49
  right now. But it was.
• 47:52
  And that was that was a medical issue, was the top one diabetes?
• 47:56
  OK. And there also was the charge in
• 47:59
  Gaston County at your court date yesterday.
• 48:01
  Is that case still pending or? Is it resolved?
• 48:04
  The court wasn't ready and I had to go back next month on the
• 48:07
  26th. OK, so unless there's something
• 48:09
  I don't know, gentlemen, my plan will be to his medical furlough
• 48:12
  has ended. He'd go back to jail with no
• 48:13
  bond and see if we can resolve the case.
• 48:16
  Mr. Mitchell, anything from the state?
• 48:20
  If the court is willing to, you know, look into it, I would even
• 48:24
  suggest we just basically give him a time served on this.
• 48:28
  It looks like according to my notes that Monday the victim
• 48:32
  actually called our office and was speaking about wanting to
• 48:35
  get the no contact lifted. Seems like she won't have
• 48:38
  contact with him now that this has happened.
• 48:40
  And if I was considered miserable yesterday, my stomach
• 48:45
  acting up, I can't imagine what Mr. Raines went through.
• 48:48
  I would say he's probably gone through enough, so if the court
• 48:51
  is inclined to give him a time served, we might just resolve
• 48:55
  this case today. He's I was going to.
• 48:57
  Ask Jake about. He's got four days credit, you
• 49:00
  know, he's paid off all the fines, your honor, and he's paid
• 49:02
  off even all the probation costs for the entire time.
• 49:06
  And this. Was a charge that was, I mean,
• 49:09
  it's I don't even know if it was a crime that's trying to help
• 49:11
  him out, trying to help the mother out.
• 49:13
  And you know, I think the ledge knocked the phone out of her
• 49:17
  hand or something. If I recall this my recollection
• 49:21
  and I know the mother don't want to do anything.
• 49:23
  So I've just asked for maybe they just go ahead and keep
• 49:26
  successfully terminate this PR on success PR unsuccessfully.
• 49:29
  It don't matter if the terminate is PTI and just was four days
• 49:33
  credited. The courts climbed.
• 49:36
  So I'm looking back at the original charge and the air
• 49:40
  condition's so loud it's hard to hear anything in here.
• 49:49
  And you're right, the the allegation was originally that
• 49:52
  he slapped the phone from Jessica's hand.
• 49:56
  That was the original charge of battery and Jessica's the
• 49:58
  mother. Is that you, ma'am?
• 50:00
  So the charge originally was battery.
• 50:02
  He had no prior history, I'm assuming because he got APTI.
• 50:06
  He wouldn't get APTI without what he had a history typically.
• 50:10
  So he got APTI and that would have been in January and then he
• 50:17
  he's on PTI until he gets charged in Gadsden County under
• 50:23
  that new law. Dangerous or aggressive driving?
• 50:28
  Speeding. Dangerous success with speed in
• 50:31
  Gaston County. Were you arrested there?
• 50:33
  No, Sir. So you were charged criminally
• 50:35
  there in February that violated your PTI or calls to order to
• 50:41
  show calls to be issued and then you got arrested for violation
• 50:45
  of your pretrial intervention because of the new charge.
• 50:48
  The new charge is still pending and I don't think the PTI was on
• 50:51
  battery. I think the charge was amended.
• 50:54
  To. Disorderly conduct.
• 50:56
  OK. So Mr. McDaniel, how much jail
• 51:01
  time does he have credit for? Four days, two days before the
• 51:06
  PTI and two days after, Correct. All right, ma'am, and you're the
• 51:14
  alleged victim. You want to come on up, please
• 51:16
  so I can ask you a couple of questions.
• 51:22
  Your name, ma'am. My name is Jessica Raines.
• 51:24
  Miss Raines, let me get you to raise your right hand.
• 51:26
  You saw me swear are from the testimony about giving this case
• 51:28
  be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but truth.
• 51:29
  Help you God. I do.
• 51:31
  So you understand he was in jail with no bond.
• 51:33
  His offer at that time was going to be 10 days in jail because of
• 51:36
  the all the big picture, the total circumstances.
• 51:39
  Then he got sick and let him out of jail so he could deal with
• 51:43
  his medical situation. He still got a charge pending in
• 51:45
  Gaston County. Have no idea what will happen
• 51:47
  with that. May be dismissed.
• 51:48
  Make it a fine, make it probation.
• 51:50
  May I? I don't know what are you asking
• 51:53
  us to do with with the charge where you're the victim on the
• 51:56
  point he was on PTI on. Sorry, I would honestly like for
• 52:00
  it just to be dropped, call it quits like I never wanted it to
• 52:05
  go this far. Anyway.
• 52:08
  But given his current medical condition now that is brand new,
• 52:12
  I'm extremely worried about his health and I really don't want
• 52:16
  to see him go back into custody because I worry that he won't
• 52:19
  get the proper care there. You were the The type 1 diabetic
• 52:23
  diagnosis is brand new. He has never had any kind of
• 52:27
  health issues. Before.
• 52:28
  OK all. Right, Mr. Mitchell, any
• 52:32
  questions for Miss Rains? Not at this time.
• 52:38
  Of your honor, Mr. McDaniel just let her know it didn't come out
• 52:41
  the out of the I could be explained some of the things
• 52:45
  that were happening prior. I mean, I mean, my guess is
• 52:47
  because it did just happen overnight.
• 52:49
  I mean, it didn't. Turn into a top one.
• 52:50
  Diabetic overnight. So I mean, I probably explained
• 52:52
  some of the stuff that you talked to me about before prior
• 52:55
  I. Agree.
• 52:58
  Mr. Mitchell, it seems like it's, I mean, I'm not going to
• 53:00
  take any action in the order to show calls if the state's not
• 53:03
  asking me to considering everything I've heard today,
• 53:05
  what is your decision on the on the underlying case, which is
• 53:09
  still kind of in limbo because of the PTI status?
• 53:12
  He hasn't played to it. We either got to get a plea to
• 53:15
  time served, which is what you suggested, or Richard Mcdaniel's
• 53:18
  suggestion was dismissal. So y'all got to figure out what
• 53:20
  y'all want to do with the case. Given what we've heard today and
• 53:25
  from Miss Raines also, the state will announce a dismissal in
• 53:29
  case number 26180 MMM. So in light of everything that
• 53:32
  you spent time in jail as well as the whole pit, the big
• 53:36
  picture, Mr. Mr. Mitchell's going to dismiss this case
• 53:40
  against you. So it's being dismissed.
• 53:41
  You don't have to go back and and go back to jail and finish
• 53:43
  the sentence. So I just need the state to
• 53:45
  follow no information. O20. 5542.
• 53:52
  I'm talking about another case that I won't you, me and Mr.
• 53:56
  McDaniel to talk about off record and off Zoom.
• 53:58
  OK? So yeah, it's 25542.
• 54:01
  MMM. So this case is dismissed.
• 54:03
  You're no longer on pretrial intervention, you know.
• 54:06
  Well, I didn't even ask it. Well, it doesn't matter, really.
• 54:08
  Did he get court costs and fines paid?
• 54:10
  You got them paid. You paid them.
• 54:15
  OK, so the case is dismissed. This has nothing to do with
• 54:18
  Gaston County. You still got that case over
• 54:21
  there. You got your court aid over
• 54:22
  there. Do you have any questions?
• 54:24
  But. What does this mean?
• 54:26
  It means the case is dismissed. This is a.
• 54:27
  I'm not a probation in that, no. More you're not a probation, OK?
• 54:30
  And a lot of the time you spent in jail.
• 54:32
  Mr. Mitchell's dismissing the case.
• 54:34
  Yes, Sir. OK.
• 54:36
  Any questions? No, Sir.
• 54:37
  Ma'am, do you have any questions?
• 54:38
  No, Sir. Thank you.
• 54:39
  Thank you all for coming. Wish you the best, Mr.
• 54:49
  McDaniels. Everything I had on my list this
• 54:52
  morning unless I miss something any.
• 54:54
  All right, that wraps it up for Judge Mercer.
• 54:56
  Good morning once again, everybody.
• 54:57
  TCF live on a Wednesday. Judging from the stats, there's
• 55:00
  probably some new people out there.
• 55:02
  Either you're new to the live show or new to the channel
• 55:05
  completely. If you are, say good morning to
• 55:08
  us in the chat. This is a friendly group.

• 55:13
  it's good to have you here. Let's go back up to Michigan
• 55:17
  Judge McNally. To the charge impeding traffic,

  I don't know. No.

  No, I'm not in school, Your Honor.
• 55:41
  Pardon. No, I am not in school, Your
• 55:44
  Honor. Did you graduate?
• 55:46
  Yes, I did, your Honor. What are you doing now?
• 55:49
  Security. Your Honor.
• 55:55
  Security where in Wyandotte? What that means in Wyandotte,
• 56:01
  where does that work? Where at?
• 56:03
  In Wyandotte, at BASR. Listen, I'm going to take your
• 56:08
  plea. I'm going to dismiss the traffic
• 56:10
  control device. I'm going to dismiss the
• 56:12
  violation. Basic speed law.
• 56:15
  I'll tell you, you got to be more careful here. 195 is your
• 56:20
  total. Can you pay that today?
• 56:23
  Yes, your Honor. Please slow down around 4 stop
• 56:26
  signs in a subdivision. Kids running around there.
• 56:30
  This was at what time? 141 in the morning.
• 56:37
  How old are you again, Mr. Barton?
• 56:39
  You say 19. Yes, your Honor.
• 56:43
  Nothing good happens at 2:00 in the morning.
• 56:45
  Thanks, Mr. McDonald. Have a good day.
• 56:47
  Good luck, Josh. Take care.
• 56:49
  You're going to pay that today, right, Sir?
• 56:51
  Yeah, it's your honor. All right, good luck, All right,
• 56:54
  people, against Agron Brahimi 267842174.
• 56:59
  How you doing, Miss Gary? And good.
• 57:01
  Judge. Good to.
• 57:01
  See you. You too, every what do you what
• 57:03
  to what do we owe the pleasure of you coming in person?
• 57:06
  I. Was told to come in person so I
• 57:09
  follow directions. I don't know why I'm special.
• 57:16
  Why did they tell you to come in person?
• 57:17
  I don't know when. I.
• 57:19
  Even who'd you talk to? The court notice says in person
• 57:23
  and then I called earlier this week.
• 57:25
  Heather, do you know anything about that?
• 57:28
  I do not judge. I'm looking at what case it is.
• 57:31
  Usually we put in choice and on the defendant's copy, but then
• 57:35
  if there's Oh no and then these are usually Oh no she's a
• 57:38
  preformer. I usually send a zoom form with
• 57:41
  these for the preformals with a retained attorney.
• 57:45
  Yeah. What happened here?
• 57:48
  Well, I don't know what. Happened.
• 57:50
  I'm here and it worked out and it's it's fine.
• 57:54
  It's always good to see. You too.
• 57:59
  I don't think you would have talked to my judicial clerk
• 58:01
  because I don't think she would have insisted that I know she
• 58:04
  lived in them. Maybe you talked to one of the
• 58:07
  other staff and they thought you were defendant.
• 58:09
  I don't know, but at any rate, I'm my apologies.
• 58:12
  You're going to you're going to plead the impeding or authorized
• 58:14
  center of that plea, correct On behalf of your client.
• 58:16
  That's correct. Do that charge responsible or
• 58:19
  not responsible. Responsible plea is accepted
• 58:22
  150. I'll give them a week.
• 58:23
  OK, perfect. Thank you.
• 58:25
  May 6th have a great day. Take care.
• 58:29
  Be careful out there. All the water on the road with
• 58:33
  right, Aaron, Justin Tyree, Karen 26, W 841783 AB and C OK,
• 58:44
  Mr. Herron, you can come on up here and tell me your name,
• 58:46
  please. All right, so you met with this,
• 58:50
  the city attorney, you're going to plead guilty to allowing an
• 58:54
  unlicensed driver to drive and they are then going to dismiss
• 59:01
  the drug. See.
• 59:03
  They don't know. They are then going to move to
• 59:05
  dismiss the driving on a suspended, no proof of insurance
• 59:10
  and expired plate. True.
• 59:11
  All right, girl. And that's what you want to do.
• 59:15
  And apparently you have another ticket you're going to pay
• 59:18
  today, right? I'm on a payment plan.
• 59:21
  I just made a payment for the all right.
• 59:29
  OK, If you plead guilty to allowing an unlicensed driver to
• 59:32
  drive, I'm going to dismiss all other charges possible.
• 59:35
  Penalties are up to 500 fines, 90 days jail cost for all those.
• 59:38
  Do you understand that? You just sign, read and
• 59:41
  understand the advice of rights, plead guilty.
• 59:44
  You'll be giving up all those rights and we're not going to
• 59:47
  have the trials. Understand that you still have
• 59:50
  the right to a lawyer if you want one.
• 59:51

• 1:00:06
  in control of the 2011 Ford that was being operated on Western
• 1:00:11
  Allen and Woodhaven? You allow somebody to drive that
• 1:00:13
  was unlicensed and that was you, right?
• 1:00:17
  Are you on probation or parole? Anybody force you to plead
• 1:00:21
  guilty and you're still suspended, right?
• 1:00:25
  Please Accepted the suspense, dismissed.
• 1:00:28
  No insurance and expired later dismissed.

  You got to stop doing this son. Anything you want to say hard
• 1:00:45
  fines 150 costs 75 victims right, $50 justice assessment.
• 1:00:49
  I'll go kind of light but 375 or 90 days.
• 1:00:53
  Do you have all that to pay? 370. 5 or 90 days.
• 1:00:58
  I can start, I got a payment plan on the 272 for North Beach
• 1:01:03
  and cents. Can I put them together for a
• 1:01:05
  payment plan? When are you supposed to pay and
• 1:01:08
  how much on those I? Just paid today another payment
• 1:01:12
  but I'm supposed to. Pay 55 a month.
• 1:01:15
  Yeah, Judge. His payment plan on his other
• 1:01:17
  tickets is $55 monthly. He did make a payment today on
• 1:01:21
  that. I'm not a lot later.
• 1:01:25
  How much do you make there? Maybe 18 bucks.
• 1:01:29
  If kids. Yes.
• 1:01:31
  How many? One, but I I'll take care of
• 1:01:34
  everything in my household. So you can pay in that.
• 1:01:36
  Can you pay 50 more per month than this one?
• 1:01:40
  So a hundred a month total. Well, if you're paying 55, yeah,
• 1:01:43
  that'd be 105. Can you do that?
• 1:01:46
  I. Can make that all right. 50 per
• 1:01:49
  month beginning May the 15th. Can you do that?
• 1:01:56
  Or you want me to give you a little more time?
• 1:01:58
  How about May 31? End of May.
• 1:02:01
  May 31. OK, you're all set.
• 1:02:06
  All right, thanks. Have a good day.

  from this file. The student event has expressed

  that she no longer wishes me to be her attorney.
• 1:05:37
  There is a breakdown so I'm asking to allow her new council.
• 1:05:44
  All right, Miss Student event. Is that true?

  versus bacon. Your Honor, for the record,
• 1:06:34
  appointed counsel Tom Jacobs, premiap of Miss Bacon, who is in
• 1:06:39
  custody. We have bacon, Macomb County
• 1:06:43
  Jail. Can we have bacon, please?
• 1:06:47
  Yes. Go ahead, Council.
• 1:06:49
  Your Honor, discuss a proposed resolution and I and I discussed
• 1:06:55
  it the same with my client who rejects it.
• 1:06:57
  We she wishes to have this matter set for bench trial and
• 1:07:01
  also wishes to court to consider a request for a personal bond.
• 1:07:07
  Right. You want to make a bond motion?
• 1:07:10
  Let's do that before we set a trial.
• 1:07:11
  Wait. Yes, Your Honor, I would
• 1:07:13
  respectfully request that the personal bond be set in behalf
• 1:07:18
  of Miss Bacon. She's been in custody, I
• 1:07:22
  believe, 3737 days and she wishes, as she puts it, to get
• 1:07:26
  her life together and put herself on the right track.
• 1:07:29
  And she would best be able to to accomplish this if in fact she
• 1:07:32
  was allowed a personal bond. OK.
• 1:07:37
  And can I hear from the prosecution on?
• 1:07:40
  Bond Yeah, Judge, sorry. I talked to the fence and I was
• 1:07:43
  waiting for him to talk to me again.
• 1:07:46
  Fred berth on the back of the people judge.
• 1:07:48
  I'm having Miss Bacon trying to get her life in order but she's
• 1:07:51
  been arrested 19 times since 2023.
• 1:07:53
  She already has a personal bond on this case.
• 1:07:55
  She's not accruing credit. The offer is and has been just
• 1:07:59
  plea discharged and just be done with this.
• 1:08:01
  Every time she's put on probation through circuit she's
• 1:08:03
  unsuccessful and picks up new charges.
• 1:08:05
  So she has a personal bond already and she's not accruing
• 1:08:08
  time I. Definitely have a personal bond.
• 1:08:11
  Hold on, hold on. Yeah, I I show a 15,000 cash
• 1:08:15
  surety, 10% bond. OK, that's what.
• 1:08:20
  We. Showed 1000 personal that was
• 1:08:22
  modified after arraignment. I don't have any modification
• 1:08:27
  after arraignment. She was arraigned on March 16th,
• 1:08:30
  2026 at the jail. Judge Choco said A 15,000 cash
• 1:08:33
  surety, 10% bond. She then appeared on April 1st,
• 1:08:40
  2026. That was with Judge Viviano.
• 1:08:44
  Bond was not addressed and the pre trial was set for April
• 1:08:48
  29th, 2026, which is today. So I'm showing her how with us
• 1:08:52
  out of 15,000 cash 3010%. OK.
• 1:08:57
  Just just so that I just want to make sure we're all on the same
• 1:08:59
  page, ma'am. Do you think is that what your
• 1:09:01
  bond is as far as you know? Just because that's what I'm
• 1:09:03
  showing and sometimes our stuff is wrong.
• 1:09:05
  I just want to clarify that we're all on the same page.
• 1:09:08
  I I thought it was a personal before.
• 1:09:09
  It's been said that it was a personal, but it's keeping me
• 1:09:11
  from going to rehab, Your Honor, That's why.
• 1:09:14
  And I wanted an adjournment so I can see the police report and
• 1:09:16
  everything. Not a do.
• 1:09:19
  We have other files with you. You have, I believe you have
• 1:09:23
  another file. I don't know what this one is.
• 1:09:25
  I thought it was the same one at first, but it's something
• 1:09:27
  different. So I'm quite confused as what's
• 1:09:30
  going on. I just know that I was.
• 1:09:32
  I've been ready for rehab for 47 days, so.
• 1:09:35
  We're going to look it up right now.
• 1:09:36
  We might have other files and that might be the disconnect and
• 1:09:39
  maybe another file has a personal bond.
• 1:09:41
  I just want to get to the right thing.
• 1:09:42
  So who's releasing you to rehab? Community corrections and it was
• 1:09:48
  you, your Honor, that made a referral to committee
• 1:09:49
  corrections for I thought this case, but maybe the other case.
• 1:09:53
  Has to be another case because I haven't touched this file yet
• 1:09:58
  because it's gone through Judge Choco and George Viviano and I'm
• 1:10:01
  is the first day that I'm touching this file specifically
• 1:10:04
  OK so yeah that I. Would give you another.
• 1:10:07
  Case, let's let's look that up and let's just get them all
• 1:10:11
  corresponded together. OK, Gianna, thank you.
• 1:10:18
  Give us one second. I believe I have a May.
• 1:10:30
  The next Wednesday is a case. It's OK.
• 1:10:34
  Hold on, ma'am. We're we're looking it all up
• 1:10:36
  right now. OK, I'm sorry, I thought it
• 1:10:38
  would just help if you guys had a date for it.
• 1:10:41
  I appreciate it. He has a.
• 1:10:56
  Key trial on A2513456 case next Wednesday at 8:30.
• 1:11:03
  We need to pull that file today. These should be together.
• 1:11:08
  That is likely the file she has the personal bond on.
• 1:11:11
  But I want to see that file. You know, we're going to pass
• 1:11:13
  this for a minute. We're going to pull that file.
• 1:11:16
  They're pre trials. They should be being heard on
• 1:11:18
  the same date. I'm not separated.
• 1:11:20
  Give me one second Council, Miss Bacon, stay there.
• 1:11:22
  I'm going to call another case while waiting for that file to
• 1:11:23
  be brought into the courtroom and then we're going to bring
• 1:11:25
  everything together. Very.
• 1:11:27
  Funny. OK, I do have another.
• 1:11:28
  Date. Like I said, the.
• 1:11:29
  Next Wednesday, if we could do them on that day.
• 1:11:32
  Because I haven't seen. The report for this one.
• 1:11:34
  OK. Thank you.
• 1:11:35
  I I got it. Don't worry.
• 1:11:37
  All right, 254346 SM and 19237 OSM people versus Hall.
• 1:11:44
  Good morning, Your honor. For the record, James Patrick
• 1:11:46
  Brennan, representing Miss Hall, Miss.
• 1:11:48
  Hall, can you? Unmute and state your name for
• 1:11:51
  the record, you have to unmute first, Miss Hall.
• 1:11:57
  There you go. Kimberly Hall.
• 1:12:00
  Your Honor, today was the date and time set for a pretrial on
• 1:12:05
  Case 2543646. The allegation here was for a
• 1:12:11
  defrauding an innkeeper. The prosecuting attorney on
• 1:12:16
  April 1st off with a plea bargain of attempt.
• 1:12:20
  I've explained this to my client.
• 1:12:21
  She wishes to avail herself to that offer.
• 1:12:26
  The second case, Your Honor, the 192370 is a show cause case for
• 1:12:33
  failure to pay. I was hoping we could do the
• 1:12:37
  current criminal because I'm going to try to bring both of
• 1:12:42
  these together. We will do then Council, let's
• 1:12:45
  start with this. 1254346 SM Miss Hall, how do you plead to the
• 1:12:50
  added count 2 of attempt defrauding an innkeeper?
• 1:12:53
  Guilty or not guilty? Guilty.
• 1:12:57
  Do you read, write and understand the English language?
• 1:13:00
  Yes, I do. You gone over your rights with
• 1:13:02
  your attorney. Yes.
• 1:13:05
  Do you understand all of those rights?
• 1:13:07
  Yes, I do. Is anybody forcing you to plead
• 1:13:10
  guilty? No, Your Honor.
• 1:13:13
  Has anybody promised you leniency from this court to get
• 1:13:15
  you to plead guilty other than the plea agreement itself?
• 1:13:18
  No, Your Honor. Currently on probation or
• 1:13:21
  parole. I'm on it.
• 1:13:23
  I just started probation for Clinton Township all.
• 1:13:28
  Right. And do you understand that if
• 1:13:29
  this violates that I have no effect over the consequences?
• 1:13:32
  Yes, your Honor. If you're not a citizen of the
• 1:13:35
  United States, we're here, But I advise that a conviction of the
• 1:13:37
  offense you're pleading guilty too, may have consequences such
• 1:13:40
  as deprecation, exclusion from admission to the United States
• 1:13:44
  with the denial of naturalization pursuant to the
• 1:13:46
  laws of the United States. Do you understand that?
• 1:13:48
  Yes, your Honor. I know that you've been advised
• 1:13:51
  of. Do you still wish to plead
• 1:13:52
  guilty here today? I'm.
• 1:13:54
  Sorry, what was that? I know that you've been advised
• 1:13:57
  of do you still wish to think guilty here today?
• 1:13:59
  Yes, your Honor. How do you plead to the added
• 1:14:02
  count 2 of attempt defrauding an innkeeper?
• 1:14:05
  Guilty or not guilty? Guilty.
• 1:14:09
  And Council, can you bar Deer for a factual basis?
• 1:14:12
  We're an offense. Date of April 3rd, 2025 in the
• 1:14:15
  City of Roseville. Miss Hall on April 3rd, 2025 in
• 1:14:22
  the city of Roseville. Were you at the Rebel Hair
• 1:14:25
  Studio? Yes, yes, I was.
• 1:14:28
  And did you leave without paying after receiving services?
• 1:14:33
  Yes, I did. Your Honor, is the court
• 1:14:35
  satisfied? I'm satisfied.
• 1:14:38
  I'll accept the guilty plea for the added count 2.
• 1:14:42
  I'll dismiss count 1. The fine on count 2 is going to
• 1:14:45
  be $200. Mandatory state cost of $125.00.
• 1:14:48
  There's a restitution due in the amount of $250.
• 1:14:51
  Are you able to pay that today? No, I was hoping to have some
• 1:14:55
  time just being that I have other courts I'm also paying on
• 1:15:01
  so if I could. Have I believe 250 is what about
• 1:15:04
  the 250 just for the restitution as my understanding was that
• 1:15:10
  that was due at the time of the plea?
• 1:15:13
  Yes, I could pay that. OK.
• 1:15:16
  So I'm going to order that you pay the 2:50 today.
• 1:15:19
  OK. With regard to the remaining
• 1:15:22
  fines and costs, now we'll address the show cause file as
• 1:15:25
  well. On the show cause file, it looks
• 1:15:28
  like you still owe this court $670.
• 1:15:31
  And then that is in conjunction with the 200 and the 125.
• 1:15:35
  Let me add those up for you. Your honor, if I may, my client
• 1:15:40
  was incarcerated in Macomb County Jail for 39 days.
• 1:15:44
  She lost her job as a babysitter.
• 1:15:46
  She's trying to obtain employment again.
• 1:15:51
  She's a single mother with three minor children that are in
• 1:15:55
  Intermediate School or junior high, both the 19 case and what
• 1:16:02
  we're talking about now with the 25 case or financial matters.
• 1:16:06
  And we would ask this court if one that would consider the jail
• 1:16:11
  time that she actually incurred, or two, if it could waive such
• 1:16:17
  costs as attorney fees and minimize any other fines and
• 1:16:20
  costs. All right.
• 1:16:25
  I don't assess attorney fees on any file on the 19 file.
• 1:16:30
  What I am going to do is I'm going to close that one out.
• 1:16:34
  I'm going to give you how many days till she spent in jail.
• 1:16:40
  I have it down as 39, Your Honor.
• 1:16:45
  On the old file I'm going to give you 30 days jail.
• 1:16:49
  Thank you your. Honor waive the fine costs and
• 1:16:56
  fees and close the file. That's $670.
• 1:17:03
  I am though to put you on a payment plan for the 325 on the
• 1:17:07
  new file. I think it's more manageable.
• 1:17:11
  I'm going to refer you to our financial officer to set up a
• 1:17:14
  payment plan based on your ability to pay.
• 1:17:17
  So you're going to get an e-mail address.
• 1:17:18
  You do need to pay the 250 in restitution today.
• 1:17:20
  That was part of the plate. OK.
• 1:17:23
  Thank you, Your Honor. And you can work out a payment
• 1:17:26
  plan based on your with our financial officer, OK.
• 1:17:29
  Thank you. Your Honor, you don't want to.
• 1:17:31
  Have the e-mail. I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan.
• 1:17:34
  I'm sorry, your Honor, one last detail.
• 1:17:36
  The court has an improper phone number for my client.
• 1:17:39
  Do you wish me to give it now or do you wish me to text it?
• 1:17:45
  What we're going to do is in the chat feature, she's going to get
• 1:17:48
  an e-mail address to the financial officer.
• 1:17:50
  She needs to send an e-mail requesting a payment plan.
• 1:17:53
  In that e-mail, she can update her phone number.
• 1:17:56
  Thank you, Your honor. We just don't want to broadcast
• 1:17:59
  your phone number live to YouTube right now.
• 1:18:02
  And thank you. Fair.
• 1:18:05
  But in the e-mail you can update it.
• 1:18:07
  You have to send an e-mail to get the payment plan.
• 1:18:09
  So we're going to send you an e-mail address, you're going to
• 1:18:11
  e-mail the financial officer asking for a payment plan.
• 1:18:14
  He will get back to you in that time.
• 1:18:16
  He you can have him update your phone number for the file.
• 1:18:18
  OK. OK.
• 1:18:19
  Thank you so much for everything you're.
• 1:18:22
  Welcome you have. You have a great day, Judge.
• 1:18:25
  Thank you. Thank you, Macomb County Jail.
• 1:18:28
  Can I have bacon back? While we wait for bacon, do
• 1:18:37
  check out the bacon pole. Should Bacon ever be charged
• 1:18:39
  with a crime? Options are no.
• 1:18:42
  Your options are no, hell no, or conspiracy to cause heart
• 1:18:45
  attacks. So please, please give us your
• 1:18:47
  answer. 9 SM It is also a retail fraud, second degree.
• 1:18:52
  On that file. She does have a $1000 personal
• 1:18:55
  bond, so that's where the disconnect was.
• 1:18:57
  The $1000 personal bond is correct.
• 1:18:59
  It's just we have two files and they were on separate dates and
• 1:19:02
  I see where that and they're the same charge.
• 1:19:04
  So I see where the confusion was.
• 1:19:06
  You are on personal bond on that and you are telling me that the
• 1:19:10
  jail is trying to release you into treatment but they cannot
• 1:19:13
  at this time due to the $15,000 bond on the other file, Correct
• 1:19:16
  Miss Bacon. Yes, you're on.
• 1:19:19
  Which is common, which is common.
• 1:19:21
  And what will happen is if I don't do this right now, the
• 1:19:24
  jail will send me a letter saying we're trying to send her
• 1:19:26
  to treatment. Here's an order.
• 1:19:28
  Please reduce her bond to personal.
• 1:19:30
  So I have reviewed the file and while it is correct, you do have
• 1:19:38
  extensive contacts in your criminal history, what I am
• 1:19:41
  going to note is most of them are driving related offenses.
• 1:19:46
  You do have some retail frauds, but I do think that a lot of
• 1:19:51
  this stems from a need for treatment.
• 1:19:54
  A lot of what your history is showing me are offenses that
• 1:19:58
  stem from underlying treatment issues that aren't being
• 1:20:03
  addressed in the 1st place. And so to me, then the most
• 1:20:06
  important thing we do is get you in that treatment because we
• 1:20:08
  can't address the issues if we're not addressing what's
• 1:20:10
  causing that. So I am going to reduce your
• 1:20:13
  bond. That's personal as well because
• 1:20:19
  if we don't get you into treatment, we don't solve
• 1:20:21
  anything in the 1st place. I do need you to be committed to
• 1:20:24
  that treatment. It's not an easy Rd. but this is
• 1:20:27
  just for you, for your future. In the meantime, your bond is
• 1:20:30
  reduced here. You'll be able to really reduce
• 1:20:32
  the bad and get your needs met and be able to take from that.
• 1:20:36
  In the meantime, we'll set a bench trial date council.
• 1:20:39
  You can have May 13th or May 20th or May 27th.
• 1:20:49
  What would you like? Let's see, how about May May
• 1:20:53
  20th, Your honor? We'll set it for May 20th.
• 1:20:57
  We'll set it for 8:30 AM. Would you like that on Zoomer in
• 1:20:59
  person? So, so let me see this.
• 1:21:06
  This is what I'm going to place on the record on May 20th.
• 1:21:11
  She may be in treatment. That is the goal.
• 1:21:14
  That is why we reduced the bond today.
• 1:21:17
  If she's in treatment, it will be difficult for her to come
• 1:21:19
  here in person because she won't be able to leave the facility.
• 1:21:23
  They will be able to Zoom her over.
• 1:21:25
  That being said, if she's on Zoom and we needed to proceed to
• 1:21:31
  trial, we would then have to set a new date.
• 1:21:34
  So it could be a soft trial date to see what you guys want to do
• 1:21:38
  and how things are going to work out.
• 1:21:40
  Or if it is going to proceed to trial, we would need a full in
• 1:21:44
  person date. And I'm just being aware of the
• 1:21:46
  fact that if she's in treatment, we set it in person that we
• 1:21:49
  might not get her here on the 20th.
• 1:21:51
  So I'm going to let the attorneys decide if they want it
• 1:21:55
  on Zoomer in person, but I'm going to place what I think the
• 1:21:57
  logistical factors are on the record.
• 1:21:59
  And that's what I wanted you to consider as you make that
• 1:22:01
  decision. Is that 830, Your Honor?
• 1:22:04
  8:30 AM. Yes, we set trials at 8:30.
• 1:22:09
  OK. All right.
• 1:22:11
  Thank you. And Miss Bacon, give me a call.
• 1:22:15
  Let me know what your status is when you have an opportunity.
• 1:22:18
  What is your phone number? Do you want it?
• 1:22:20
  Do you want it set on zoomer in person for now?
• 1:22:23
  So. Well, I'll be there in person,
• 1:22:27
  let's just put it that way so I don't.
• 1:22:29
  Know all right, I will set it in person.
• 1:22:33
  What I am going to do is no definite may be in treatment.
• 1:22:39
  OK. OK.
• 1:22:44
  That's what we'll do, ma'am. What we'll do is council, if you
• 1:22:48
  can send your cell phone number or your office number, whatever
• 1:22:51
  number you want to give out in the chat feature, Miss Bacon,
• 1:22:55
  Miss Reyes will put it on your disposition sheet.
• 1:22:58
  Ask for that when they're releasing you from the jail into
• 1:23:00
  treatment, and we'll put it on there.
• 1:23:02
  We're just not going to broadcast it live right now.
• 1:23:03
  You don't have anywhere to write it down and we're live to
• 1:23:06
  YouTube, OK? OK.
• 1:23:08
  Thank you so much. We'll thank you.
• 1:23:11
  We'll put the number on your disposition sheet for you, OK.
• 1:23:15
  Thank you. Thanks, Kerr.
• 1:23:16
  Thank you. You're all set.
• 1:23:18
  Well, hopefully the bacon will be able to be brought home soon.
• 1:23:21
  That's all I can say about that. Good morning once again
• 1:23:23
  everybody, hour 2 of TCF Live. We'll end our poll now with its
• 1:23:29
  split. 33% of you say no bacon should not be charged. 33% and
• 1:23:34
  say hell no bacon should not be charged and 33% of you believe
• 1:23:38
  bacon should be charged with conspiracy to cause heart attack
• 1:23:43
  already taxes Judge Stevens. You need a quick up to speed on
• 1:23:50
  this one Judge. I did ask for discovery.
• 1:23:52
  Got discovery from Miss Gasper. She sent me an e-mail back
• 1:23:57
  saying that Mister Padgett was going to be hired on on the case
• 1:24:01
  that I got. When she responded to me, I
• 1:24:04
  contacted Mr. Padgett. And as of right now, Mr. Elam
• 1:24:09
  hasn't paid Mr. Tablet for that burglary case.
• 1:24:13
  And I think he's going. To hire Mr. Pat.
• 1:24:15
  You know what you told me He. We need to sell that to the
• 1:24:17
  judge. So he'll know.
• 1:24:18
  Yes, Sir. When are you going to do that?
• 1:24:20
  This year, 10 years, next year? We we move forward.
• 1:24:25
  I mean, we're not going to wait on you for your finances.
• 1:24:27
  We're moving forward here. Good.
• 1:24:31
  We now hold on. So just all of.
• 1:24:40
  This aspect is the I know you're not here's this, here's the
• 1:24:49
  file, here's the file, but I am I am appointed on the murder of
• 1:24:58
  the habitation, which is this space but.
• 1:25:00
  That's the one that. OK.
• 1:25:03
  All right, today's case is a burglary of a habitation.
• 1:25:08
  Right. But yes.
• 1:25:09
  A. Few cases on the docket, they're
• 1:25:11
  just not listed together because Mr. Padgett is on the other
• 1:25:13
  right. But.
• 1:25:16
  He has a burglary. Of a habitation and accept of a
• 1:25:18
  firearm. I did speak.
• 1:25:21
  With him yesterday, Judge, and like I say, to my understanding,
• 1:25:24
  he hasn't paid, you know, for the burglary case.
• 1:25:26
  Well, it's nonetheless. He.
• 1:25:30
  Announced he's a lawyer in the case.
• 1:25:33
  I mean that's kind of an ethical importance.
• 1:25:35
  I mean that's what we live on like if a a lawyer's word, a
• 1:25:39
  lawyer's come up and says he's representative and it's on the
• 1:25:42
  record. So the finances are another
• 1:25:45
  thing that's between you and him.
• 1:25:47
  That's not, I don't get, that's y'all's deal.
• 1:25:50
  It's right now. The deal I have is that he's the
• 1:25:53
  lawyer of record. He should be here right now.
• 1:25:55
  Please call. Him there is not a.
• 1:25:57
  Letter of representation in the burglary of the habitation.
• 1:26:00
  He is representing him on the record.
• 1:26:02
  In the theft of. Fire.
• 1:26:04
  That's when I rely on for documents.
• 1:26:08
  I know I'm saying 251056 is is a case on that man's name and the
• 1:26:17
  last thing you buy in his life. We're going to keep them
• 1:26:20
  together. We're not going to in the
• 1:26:21
  installments. You've got the burglary and
• 1:26:27
  that's that. But the other case is set for an
• 1:26:38
  announcement. And if the pageant is the family
• 1:26:50
  of reference, so period, he needs to be there, you know,
• 1:26:54
  yeah, I'm in my staff to get him up here.
• 1:27:00
  I mean, that's just the way his police calls is actually
• 1:27:03
  changing. Pageant's office goes Thanks and
• 1:27:05
  tell him. You need him up here.
• 1:27:06
  On Mr. Elam's case and where are you?
• 1:27:09
  Going to do. With mine Judge, since Patrick
• 1:27:12
  hasn't been officially hired, I'm just going to represent him
• 1:27:15
  so on then when Mr. Patrick gets on the pace till I get off as of
• 1:27:19
  right now I'm. Going to put.
• 1:27:20
  Her all the so as far as mine all.
• 1:27:24
  Time. Today, this is our personal
• 1:27:25
  appearance together. I just want to.
• 1:27:29
  To finish. The I'll be ready to know, but
• 1:27:32
  I'm with him, so I'm not going to perform his birthday
• 1:27:35
  application and I have. The link from Missus.
• 1:27:38
  Gas, but she didn't provide me the Discover name access.
• 1:27:43
  I did get that. Problem.
• 1:27:44
  But like I said, when she emailed me, she was anticipating
• 1:27:47
  that Patrick would be here today as it's going.
• 1:27:52
  But yeah, I'm ready. To go to this.
• 1:27:53
  I'll be fishing and. What do we want to.
• 1:27:56
  What's your announcement today? Just to put it on one more one.
• 1:27:59
  Awesome. Because I think that'd be the
• 1:28:00
  4th 1. You know that.
• 1:28:02
  Yeah. Well, what I can do is if you
• 1:28:04
  want me to just stay with him on a child packet, that's cool.
• 1:28:07
  I can do that. Because is that what we're going
• 1:28:09
  to do? No, I.
• 1:28:09
  Didn't want to. I didn't.
• 1:28:11
  Want to because I know Patrick is going to be if.
• 1:28:14
  I brought down with y'all. And decide I don't want to do I
• 1:28:16
  don't put it on another. That's what I want to ask.
• 1:28:19
  One-on-one everything. I don't want any 3.
• 1:28:20
  Judge, this case is relatively newer than the other case.
• 1:28:26
  This offense happened in December of last year.
• 1:28:29
  OK, so for what this one this one time, I mean we just we just
• 1:28:36
  don't, we just don't say well, no, we got several months or
• 1:28:41
  years so. Yeah, it's just.
• 1:28:43
  It's up and it's ready to move. We've got things to move
• 1:28:47
  forward. Yes, Judge, I understand.
• 1:28:50
  I just. Anticipated that, Mister.
• 1:28:52
  Patrick was going to be on the years.
• 1:28:53
  I mean it's. Just they don't say this.
• 1:28:56
  This is the fourth setting on on one of those and then on 1056 3.
• 1:29:18
  This is the fourth setting on that one as well.
• 1:29:21
  And that's a lot of resettings. We move forward.
• 1:29:23
  I mean, Fisher cut away, we make the decisions.
• 1:29:26
  It's yeah, everybody gets a year or two or five to figure it out.
• 1:29:35
  I'm not, you know, that's just not the way it is.
• 1:29:37
  So same trial time. Thank.

• 1:31:52
  with that and we're just we discussed.
• 1:31:55
  Before and again. Some outstanding discovery
• 1:31:59
  issues and the state I. Believe was going.
• 1:32:01
  To reach out to Baytown, double check on some discovery that
• 1:32:07
  probably exists. And so we're trying to resolve
• 1:32:09
  that discovery issue that things are happening in in Baytown or.
• 1:32:15
  Baytown was involved in this investigation.
• 1:32:17
  Was that Harris County I? Think so, yeah.
• 1:32:20
  It was here. It was here in Jefferson.
• 1:32:22
  The often occurred. In it.

  They were cooperating with the Department of Public Safety
• 1:32:27
  Safety on this investigation. OK, would.
• 1:32:31
  Does he have cases in Baytown? No.
• 1:32:35
  So what do we care about? I.
• 1:32:38
  Mean this is his case. Material, There is a material
• 1:32:40
  witness who is a detective in Baytown, OK and part of the
• 1:32:46
  investigation, yes. Yes, So what?
• 1:32:49
  About it. We just need to contact the

  Thank you, Pedro Lira. You're asking for a release from
• 1:33:52
  firstly one of our successful ways to move.
• 1:34:05
  OK. The defendant was on a ended up
• 1:34:10
  disposing in this case about a year ago for a Class B
• 1:34:14
  misdemeanor. He was originally prosecuted.
• 1:34:17
  With an. Indictment of a third degree
• 1:34:19
  felony and it was reduced to a Class B was demeanor and he's
• 1:34:25
  put some two years deferred on adjudicated probation scripture
• 1:34:28
  and that was as of May 14th of last year.
• 1:34:34
  I see there's a motion for early termination.
• 1:34:36
  That's why you there, Paul. Much longer.
• 1:35:07
  Than that the probation on that that's what I think got this.
• 1:35:22
  It's I asked probation because I received something back in March
• 1:35:27
  that was all very good for his response to probation.
• 1:35:37
  It's what have you learned? Don't ever make mistakes again.
• 1:35:43
  Well, you're going to make mistakes.
• 1:35:45
  We all do. But there's you know, but it's
• 1:35:47
  how you deal with your mistakes that's the test is for
• 1:35:50
  character, how you respond to them and and how you avoid
• 1:35:56
  committing the same mistake twice.
• 1:35:59
  So repeating what what state say on this about probation on an
• 1:36:04
  objection, John? No.

  days or more than two years. In addition, a fine may be

  Yes, Sir. If it's been reached in your

  case that you would be pleading guilty and so please sentenced
• 1:40:43
  to two years in state jail, then that would be suspended.
• 1:40:47
  You were placed on regular probation for five.

  lawyer. All of this says is true so
• 1:42:40
  healthy though states exhibit one part of the record for all
• 1:42:43
  purposes. Presenters report is here by

  sounds like you want me to do some kind of a TCF cooking
• 1:45:13
  offshoot channel, but have it centered around bacon.
• 1:45:20
  It's very nichy. It might actually work in

  Let's go back up to Michigan. We'll spend a few minutes with

• 1:46:34
  Your appearance for the record. Thank you, Sarah.
• 1:46:35
  Hold on. We have the people.
• 1:46:37
  Good afternoon. Morning, Your honor.
• 1:46:38
  Assistant Public Defender Steven Flaglestone on behalf of Jacobo
• 1:46:43
  Montalvo, standing to my right. Thank you, Sir.
• 1:46:45
  Jacob by Jacobo or Jacob, I have a note.
• 1:46:48
  Jacob. Jacob, Your honor.
• 1:46:49
  That's what I have, OK. Thank you.
• 1:46:50
  Thank you. Now is that your loveling,
• 1:46:52
  Jacob, that. Is wrong or?
• 1:46:54
  It's it's in Spanish and in Spanish the O is it's hagolo and
• 1:46:58
  and it's pronounced in English and O aside.
• 1:47:02
  OK, OK, so we have the spelling right, just.
• 1:47:05
  Yeah, it's it's spelled in Spanish, but it's pronounced
• 1:47:08
  with the O assignment. And that's what my notes said.
• 1:47:12
  But thank you for clearing that up.
• 1:47:14
  All right, please raise your right hand.
• 1:47:16
  Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to
• 1:47:19
  provide to be the truthful truth and nothing but the truth under
• 1:47:22
  penalty of perjury? Yes, ma'am.
• 1:47:24
  Your Honor, thank. You put your hand down, you have
• 1:47:26
  a nice deep voice, you don't have to keep leaning forward.
• 1:47:28
  We got the microphone there, so we're good.
• 1:47:30
  Have you taken any medication yesterday or today?
• 1:47:33
  Nope. Well, for heartburn and for
• 1:47:36
  diabetic. OK.
• 1:47:37
  So is it anything that would interfere in your ability to
• 1:47:39
  understand the court or your attorney?
• 1:47:42
  No, you're not. And Sir, is there a medication
• 1:47:45
  that you're supposed to be on that you are not on?
• 1:47:48
  No, you're on. And any sign of fever, COVID or
• 1:47:53
  other illness? No.
• 1:47:54
  You've had an opportunity to speak with your attorney and you
• 1:47:57
  understand this is a final criminal pretrial, meaning you
• 1:48:01
  have to make a decision as to whether you want to accept any
• 1:48:05
  plea offer. If there was one, I, I don't
• 1:48:07
  know if there was one. And if not, we simply set this
• 1:48:12
  for trial. I don't allow, as a general
• 1:48:16
  rule, once in a while there's exceptions for odd reasons, but
• 1:48:20
  I don't allow on the day of trial because then somebody else
• 1:48:26
  is denying that day and week for trial.
• 1:48:28
  So I'd like to keep those dates. So do you understand this is the
• 1:48:32
  deadline? I understand, and I believe
• 1:48:34
  we're ready, Your Honor. OK, so you've had enough time to
• 1:48:37
  speak with both of your attorneys?
• 1:48:40
  Yes. Ma'am, OK, very good.
• 1:48:41
  On behalf of the people, was there an offer?
• 1:48:43
  There's no offer. Your Honor, thank you.
• 1:48:45
  All right. Are we ready then to go to
• 1:48:47
  trial? There'll be no plea.
• 1:48:49
  That's correct. Yes.
• 1:48:50
  Your Honor. Thank you.
• 1:48:52
  And Sir, that's correct. You want to go to trial.
• 1:48:55
  Yes, yes, you. Are all right, and did anyone
• 1:49:00
  force, threaten, or coerce you to make this?
• 1:49:02
  Decision no your. Honor, did anyone promise you
• 1:49:04
  anything request you make this? Decision.
• 1:49:07
  And you are working with both of your attorneys toward trial and
• 1:49:11
  you're satisfied with their representation I.
• 1:49:14
  Believe so. OK.
• 1:49:16
  And we have a trial date. Yes, your honor, it's May 29th.
• 1:49:24
  And do we know will this be a one week or two week?
• 1:49:26
  I would expect that it would go into two weeks.
• 1:49:29
  OK. Thank you.
• 1:49:32
  Council agrees with that. Yes, Sir, Yeah.
• 1:49:34
  Sure. Is there anything that you are
• 1:49:36
  still awaiting that you need for trial?
• 1:49:38
  Are there any motions? We have not.
• 1:49:40
  I know spouse rather than I know we've had motions and other
• 1:49:43
  things in the past. Is there anything we need to
• 1:49:45
  address prior to trial so we are ready to?
• 1:49:47
  Go. Since I believe there are no
• 1:49:49
  additional motions and I believe we have all the discovery
• 1:49:51
  necessary to proceed the trial on the Twitter, I'm not.
• 1:49:54
  Ready to proceed? Thank you and you will all work
• 1:49:57
  together then for jury instructions.
• 1:50:00
  Of course, Your Honor. And then make the court aware of
• 1:50:03
  whether or not you want the jury to ask questions.
• 1:50:07
  And then we'll deal with sequestration motions and other
• 1:50:09
  issues at that time. All right.
• 1:50:12
  Is there anything else we need to?
• 1:50:14
  Address. No, thank you.
• 1:50:19
  Do you have family members who can bring you civilian clothes?
• 1:50:23
  You can't be in trial in those. OK.
• 1:50:25
  The prosecutor does have access to clothes.
• 1:50:27
  So, public defender. I'm.
• 1:50:30
  Sorry, the public defender has access to clothes, so we're
• 1:50:32
  going to. You'll need to work with them
• 1:50:34
  and get some updates for every day of trial.
• 1:50:37
  We've worked with him and we have his clothing size.
• 1:50:40
  We'll make sure he has whether we have a whole closet of the
• 1:50:43
  board. OK.
• 1:50:45
  I I appreciate it. You're good with that?
• 1:50:47
  OK. Anything else we need to?
• 1:50:49
  Address. No, Judge, I think we're
• 1:50:50
  satisfied that it's been laid on the.
• 1:50:51
  Record. I will see you May 29th for
• 1:50:53
  trial. Thank you.
• 1:50:54

  Good morning, your honor. EP we're boxing on.
• 1:52:02
  We have people say Michigan. Good morning, Your honor.
• 1:52:04
  Alexander Rusk, on behalf of Mr. Crook, who's standing to my
• 1:52:07
  right, thank. You, Sir, please raise your
• 1:52:09
  right hand. Do you swear or affirm the
• 1:52:11
  testimony? You're about to provide me the
• 1:52:13
  truth, full truth and nothing but the truth under penalty of
• 1:52:15
  perjury. Thank you.
• 1:52:17
  And put your hand down, Sir. Have you taken any medication
• 1:52:21
  using the alcohol, marijuana, over the counter prescription
• 1:52:23
  meds yesterday or today? Is there anything you.
• 1:52:27
  I'm sorry. No, you're not.
• 1:52:28
  Is there anything you're supposed to be on that you're
• 1:52:30
  not on? No.
• 1:52:30
  You're any sign of fever code or other illness?
• 1:52:33
  No. You're not.
• 1:52:35
  And you had no time to talk with your attorney?
• 1:52:38
  I have. And I understand there's going
• 1:52:40
  to be a plea today. So you're waiving your right to
• 1:52:42
  a jury trial, correct? And Sir, do I have the address?
• 1:52:46
  Correct. I have you in chest.
• 1:52:48
  Name on Pearl. Is that correct?
• 1:52:50
  Correct. And who do you live with?
• 1:52:53
  Myself. And are you employed?
• 1:52:56
  Are you retired? No, you're not.
• 1:52:59
  How do you support? Yourself.
• 1:53:01
  Say it. OK.
• 1:53:02
  And you're able to do that. Yes, your Honor.
• 1:53:06
  OK. At the time of the offense
• 1:53:12
  you're pleading to, were you on probation, parole, or binding
• 1:53:14
  conditions on another file? No, Your Honor.
• 1:53:21
  Are you AUS citizen? Yes, you are.
• 1:53:24
  And you have no time to talk to your attorney about all matters.
• 1:53:26
  Yes. What is the plea agreement?
• 1:53:29
  Yes, your honor, the defendant be pleading to an added count 2
• 1:53:33
  of operating while intoxicated second offense notice which is a
• 1:53:36
  one year misdemeanor POD successful plea and sentencing
• 1:53:40
  Count 1 OWI third will be dismissed.
• 1:53:43
  There was also an agreement between the parties for the
• 1:53:45
  defendant to serve at least 24 months of probation with no
• 1:53:49
  earned early release. 24 months probation.
• 1:53:57
  So without it being cut in half you mean?
• 1:54:00
  So OK, so just just kind of an odd way to say it because it'd
• 1:54:05
  be discharged now. No, no, no problem.
• 1:54:08
  Just want to make sure I've got it clear that it's it's
• 1:54:11
  probation. Not yet OK.
• 1:54:16
  Is there any conversation for Sprite porn?
• 1:54:20
  Yes, Your Honor, I can address that.
• 1:54:23
  As Mr. Croft lives in Chesney. We've had some serious issues
• 1:54:27
  for sobriety court. So he was approved for 55th
• 1:54:31
  qualified, but the travel about an hour and a half, multiple
• 1:54:35
  times a week potentially. They ruled him that that just
• 1:54:38
  wouldn't be workable. Does Chesney have a sobriety
• 1:54:41
  court that he could have bailed himself out that we could work
• 1:54:43
  with or no? No Saginaw has a sobriety court
• 1:54:47
  and a mental health court. They have been.
• 1:54:49
  Full or not accepting transfers. Saying it's true in Shylawassee
• 1:54:52
  County as well. That's fine.
• 1:54:54
  Fine. We definitely wanted to get into
• 1:54:55
  one of those programs. That's how we reached our
• 1:54:58
  resolution here. And your Honor, that's why we
• 1:55:00
  did the 24 months probation. OK, so let me just say in the
• 1:55:06
  future when? We have this kind of deal.
• 1:55:11
  I want him to have the plea in District Court, in 55th District
• 1:55:15
  Court can be or whatever District Court and be monitored
• 1:55:19
  by the District Court probation, which is much more hands on, has
• 1:55:23
  the resources and also can refer to some of the resources that
• 1:55:27
  spread court has. I don't want to waste anybody's
• 1:55:30
  time. So we're going to do it this
• 1:55:32
  way, but in the future, that's the way to go.
• 1:55:36
  Not this way. Thank you I.
• 1:55:38
  Understand, your Honor. Council, is that full, fair,
• 1:55:46
  accurate and complete? It is, your Honor.
• 1:55:48
  Full, fair, accurate and complete, Sir?
• 1:55:50
  Yes, Your Honor. All right, Thank you.
• 1:55:52
  And Council, you're waving count 1.
• 1:55:56
  Correct. S to count 2.
• 1:55:58
  Yes, Your Honor, people in the State of Michigan versus
• 1:56:00
  Theodore David Krupp, State of Michigan, County of Ingham.
• 1:56:03
  In the name of the people in the State of Michigan, the

  the state of Michigan. Did this one.
• 1:58:31
  Is this one with the 60 day card suspension or no?
• 1:58:37
  Does it stay in there? It does not, Your Honor, but
• 1:58:40
  because this would be two within seven years, it would be the the
• 1:58:44
  automatic revocation. OK.
• 1:58:47
  Thank you, Sir. Do you understand what it's just
• 1:58:51
  read? I do.
• 1:58:53
  So you understand that this is but operating well.
• 1:58:58
  Tax is second is a one year misdemeanor and for 201,000.
• 1:59:04
  1000. License cost.
• 1:59:05
  I don't know if there's any requests for cost recovery for
• 1:59:10
  any ambulance or police, etcetera.
• 1:59:13
  We'll give you that at the end. And there's five days jail up to
• 1:59:20
  the one year and then 30 to 9 days of community service and
• 1:59:24
  vehicle for mature mobilization. So you understand about them.
• 1:59:28
  Thank you. What's the status of your
• 1:59:30
  vehicle? You were driving on that, yeah.
• 1:59:37
  What is it? Do you still have it?
• 1:59:39
  Is it been immobilized? I guess you could say that I
• 1:59:42
  still own it. There's been a problem with the
• 1:59:45
  mechanics out of the engine, and it's.
• 1:59:47
  So it's immobilized by virtue of none not being able to be used.
• 1:59:52
  That's correct. OK.
• 1:59:59
  And Sir, it looks like you signed the Advice and rights
• 2:00:01
  form. Did you read it before you
• 2:00:03
  signed it? Yes.
• 2:00:04
  Did you understand what you read?
• 2:00:06
  Yes, I did. And if you had any questions,
• 2:00:09
  you're trying to be able to answer those.
• 2:00:11
  He was. Yeah, it looks like you signed
• 2:00:14
  the Advice and Rights form. Did you read or you signed it?
• 2:00:16
  I did. Did you understand what you
• 2:00:18
  read? I did.
• 2:00:20
  And again, your attorney was able to answer any questions you
• 2:00:22
  might have had. He was.
• 2:00:24
  Do you have any questions about your rights of this court?
• 2:00:27
  I did not. And you also understand that
• 2:00:31
  you're giving up your automatic right of appeal if you choose to
• 2:00:33
  appeal as permission of the Court of Appeals to appeal.
• 2:00:37
  And it becomes their choice. They think your issues are
• 2:00:39
  important whether or not they take out their case.
• 2:00:41
  You understand that, Sir, as to count to operating while
• 2:00:48
  intoxicated, second defense, heavy plea.
• 2:00:56
  And Sir, has anyone told you what I will do at the time
• 2:01:03
  sentencing other than the statute?
• 2:01:06
  And. That's because I don't know.
• 2:01:09
  I will make up my mind at the time sentencing.
• 2:01:10
  Do you understand that? I.
• 2:01:13
  Do all right. And Sir, at this time I'm going
• 2:01:21
  to ask you some questions and Council may jump in and ask some
• 2:01:24
  questions as well. As to count 2, did this defense
• 2:01:38
  occur on or about March 1st, 2025 in the Township of
• 2:01:44
  Wheatfield County, Maine, State of Michigan?
• 2:01:47
  You came in contact with law enforcement at a specific
• 2:01:50
  location known as E Fold Road and Zimmer Road.
• 2:01:55
  And did they stop you because of your driving?
• 2:01:59
  And it's fair to say that prior to getting into that vehicle,
• 2:02:04
  you consumed alcohol, Yes. Do you remember what you
• 2:02:07
  consumed? Roughly 7.
• 2:02:09
  Drinks like hard liquor, Beer what?
• 2:02:13
  One hard liquor and rest beer. OK.
• 2:02:16
  And what was the time period that you drank that over?
• 2:02:20
  Do you remember? I do not recall.
• 2:02:22
  OK. And it's fair to say you would
• 2:02:24
  have driven better without the alcohol.
• 2:02:26
  Yes. And the officers pulled you
• 2:02:29
  over. You pulled over and then did
• 2:02:30
  they give you a breathalyzer? Yes.
• 2:02:35
  You recall the reading event? .17 I believe.
• 2:02:41
  And did you also do the field sobriety test?
• 2:02:48
  Did they have you do the walk and turn and then they took you
• 2:02:54
  into custody determining that you were intoxicated?
• 2:02:59
  And you're not disputing the .17, is that correct, Council?
• 2:03:04
  Correct. And you would be, Sir.
• 2:03:06
  That is over twice the legal limit.
• 2:03:11
  Yes, Governor. And you have operated your
• 2:03:17
  loaded vehicle while intoxicated on roads that were open to the
• 2:03:22
  general public. Yes, Governor.
• 2:03:29
  And did you end up having an accident or getting someone or
• 2:03:35
  something? No, Your Honor.
• 2:03:37
  All right. Thank you.
• 2:03:43
  And we have good people. I'll ask to this I'll ask about
• 2:03:47
  the prior offense, but as to this, any anything for?
• 2:03:50
  And without the prior offense, I believe we're satisfied, John.
• 2:03:53
  Council. I agree, all right.
• 2:03:55
  And Sir, you previously were convicted of Aubrey Long paired
• 2:03:58
  on or about May 17th, 2007 and 66 District.
• 2:04:03
  Court. Yeah.
• 2:04:05
  Sure. All right.
• 2:04:05
  And for purposes of it, the seven years, there's also one in
• 2:04:09
  February 24th, 2023, in the 70th.
• 2:04:13
  District Court. Correct.
• 2:04:15
  All right. Any additional questions that we
• 2:04:19
  have for the people? People are satisfied in regard
• 2:04:21
  to the notice, Your Honor. No, Your Honor.
• 2:04:23
  Thank you. Any understanding this is a
• 2:04:24
  second defense, a first offense is a 93 day, but we have that
• 2:04:28
  enhancement to the one day because your prior offense, you
• 2:04:30
  understand that, yes, All right, Our council aware of promises,
• 2:04:35
  threats or inducions other than those already placed on the
• 2:04:38
  record. No, Your Honor.
• 2:04:39
  No, Your Honor. As for comply with portable.
• 2:04:41
  You have your honor. It has your honor.
• 2:04:42
  I. Find Venice please been free
• 2:04:44
  voluntarily no lien understanding we made without
• 2:04:47
  undue of close threats, coercion, promises and lean.
• 2:04:50
  You can also find there's grounds to accept and this week.
• 2:04:53
  Therefore, Count 2 will enter. Count 1 in its entirety is
• 2:04:57
  hereby dismissed. Any outstanding warrants, if
• 2:05:01
  any, are hereby or called and dismissed.
• 2:05:04
  The vehicle will be immobilized within the next 7 days and
• 2:05:09
  you'll show approve of that. You can talk to your attorney
• 2:05:12
  about how to do that. It can stay in your garage if
• 2:05:14
  it's truly immobilized and not fixable, or you can have it
• 2:05:19
  carried off somewhere, but we need it to be immobilized for
• 2:05:21
  the statutory. Period.
• 2:05:24
  And. During the sentencing date,
• 2:05:33
  June. 23rd at 9:30. Does that be with your schedule?
• 2:05:41
  It does, Your Honor. We're also prepared to go into
• 2:05:43
  median sentencing at the court's minimum.
• 2:05:47
  Sure, there's no, there's no damage, so there's no reason.
• 2:05:52
  For that he he was out in the middle of field, Your Honor.
• 2:05:54
  So I would agree with that. There's no, there's no
• 2:05:57
  restitution in regards to that. I do believe there is
• 2:06:01
  restitution that yes, correct, your honor, for the request for
• 2:06:07
  restitution from the Sheriff's Department.
• 2:06:11
  I have a total of. Is that Ingham County or that?
• 2:06:15
  Would be Ingham or it would be, yes.
• 2:06:18
  Ingham County Sheriff's Office Your Honor, I have a lodging
• 2:06:24
  cost of $25. I have.
• 2:06:45
  I apologize, I did not write. This very clearly.
• 2:06:49
  Average monthly vehicle cost is $1834.30.
• 2:06:55
  What did, I'm sorry, 1034 dollars?
• 2:06:57
  834. Dollars $834. $0.30.
• 2:07:02
  For for vehicle. For yes, for the for the
• 2:07:05
  vehicle. For the vehicle, including
• 2:07:07
  maintenance, gas, insurance for the vehicles that were used by
• 2:07:11
  officers. Average monthly mileage for the
• 2:07:14
  vehicles. Your Honor, I think I would need
• 2:07:22
  a chance review if we're talking about $2000 in cost recovery.
• 2:07:27
  And I I would have no issue with.
• 2:07:30
  Yeah, it's usually not that high and there was no accidents.
• 2:07:32
  So I really just don't know. So what we're going to do is
• 2:07:34
  have a cost recovery. We'll keep it open.
• 2:07:39
  If you all agree that's fine. And if not, I will leave the
• 2:07:42
  determination at a hearing. So we do it that way.
• 2:07:47
  Yes, Sharon. OK, great.
• 2:07:49
  All right, I'm gonna have the people.
• 2:07:50
  What would you like me to know? Yes, Your Honor, as you are
• 2:07:55
  aware we typically don't do these types of agreements for an
• 2:07:59
  OWI. Third, I had did have a chance
• 2:08:02
  to run this by the elected. So there is an approval on this
• 2:08:06
  type of agreement. But with that being said, that
• 2:08:10
  was with 24 months of probation. Mr. Krubb obviously has a
• 2:08:16
  drinking problem with his 2000 and with with two prior OW IS1
• 2:08:22
  being in 2023. And your honor, as you had heard
• 2:08:27
  the PBT was .17. However, when they did the blood
• 2:08:31
  alcohol content, it did come back, Your Honor, at a .215.
• 2:08:38
  So I believe Mr. Krug has a very serious drinking issue that
• 2:08:41
  needs to be addressed immediately, Your Honor.
• 2:08:44
  So I would ask that you follow the agreement of the 24 months
• 2:08:48
  of probation with whatever mandatory requirements under the
• 2:08:55
  statute, else you need to give him thank you.
• 2:08:57
  Thank. You.
• 2:08:59
  Thank you, Your Honor. I think that Mister Buxton
• 2:09:02
  covered some of our concerns there.
• 2:09:05
  His background, though, about Mr. Krupp, he is born, raised in
• 2:09:09
  Michigan, originally from Owosso.
• 2:09:11
  He's divorced, but he still has interactions with his children.
• 2:09:14
  Of course, he's a graduate from New Lamproff High School, and he
• 2:09:17
  also has his associate's degree from Baker College.
• 2:09:21
  As the. Court can see this case has been
• 2:09:24
  pending for a little bit of time here.
• 2:09:27
  Mr. Krupp from basically the first time that we talked, I
• 2:09:31
  believe that would have been back in March 2025.
• 2:09:35
  He has been willing to engage in any specialty court court
• 2:09:38
  program and he's been assessed for multiple of those programs.
• 2:09:43
  We've been able to address both sobriety as well as mental
• 2:09:47
  health. Issues in the.
• 2:09:48
  Interim, fortunately, without those mental health courts not
• 2:09:52
  being available. But Mr. Krupp has made
• 2:09:54
  significant strides from where he was a year ago.
• 2:09:57
  Your honor, he's not violated bond.
• 2:10:00
  He's not failed to appear. He's been in constant contact
• 2:10:03
  with myself and this is the first time that he has been
• 2:10:06
  charged with a felony. In addition, Mr. Kruff also has
• 2:10:10
  provable sobriety for the court here today.
• 2:10:13
  He's been on a SCRAM tether for about a year at this point and
• 2:10:17
  then no issues. I've not seen any alerts as far
• 2:10:19
  as even a battery dying and certainly no positive tests
• 2:10:23
  there as he's been complying with the rest of his pre release
• 2:10:27
  conditions. Your Honor, I ask that the court
• 2:10:29
  sentence him to the 24 months. Allow him to.
• 2:10:32
  Complete. The.
• 2:10:34
  Community service in place of any jail time.
• 2:10:37
  Mr. Krupp, he doesn't need an impact weekend or anything like
• 2:10:40
  that. Your Honor, he's had his life
• 2:10:42
  really turned upside down since this case and some other issues
• 2:10:47
  arose last year concerning mental health.
• 2:10:49
  Fortunately, he is in a much better spot.
• 2:10:52
  He's taken steps to address those issues and I don't think
• 2:10:56
  that he's going to be a person that you're going to see again
• 2:10:59
  during this probation period. I've got no indication that
• 2:11:02
  he'll do anything but be compliant.
• 2:11:05
  And as I mentioned, if we could have gotten to a sobriety court,
• 2:11:08
  that would have been just a great opportunity.
• 2:11:11
  As we know, in this case, he's not going to have his license
• 2:11:14
  back before petitioning Secretary of State.
• 2:11:17
  That can take quite a while. It's certainly not the phase
• 2:11:20
  one, Phase 2 of sobriety court where you can get that
• 2:11:22
  restricted license. So I do appreciate the people
• 2:11:26
  who've been able. To work with.
• 2:11:27
  Us this was unfortunately a situation where especially
• 2:11:32
  courts could be of a great assistance and just personally I
• 2:11:35
  think we need to keep expanding them but unfortunately that's
• 2:11:38
  where we are today. But Mr. Crooks taking
• 2:11:40
  responsibility, your honor, he's addressed his alcohol use
• 2:11:43
  issues. He also has been diagnosed as an
• 2:11:47
  early remission as far as that alcohol use disorder.
• 2:11:52
  He was assessed by Doctor Smith at Wallace Inks.
• 2:11:55
  That was provided to the people and it addresses, I think, the
• 2:11:59
  concerns of the people. Had.
• 2:12:01
  Which is, of course, alcohol use Going forward here, the court
• 2:12:04
  has sufficient resources to make sure that Mister Krupp complies.
• 2:12:08
  I don't think that you're going to have to use any of those
• 2:12:10
  additional resources. Your Honor.
• 2:12:13
  Again, no real concerns about Mr. Krupp being able to complete
• 2:12:16
  probation in this case, really get things back in line and, you
• 2:12:20
  know, get back to his life in a new, better form of himself at
• 2:12:23
  the end of the day. Thank you.
• 2:12:25
  Thank. You, Sir, what would you like me
• 2:12:27
  to know? Fairly accurate what Mr.
• 2:12:32
  Russell? Just.
• 2:12:33
  Just. Just told you.
• 2:12:35
  Went through some pretty traumatizing times in my.
• 2:12:38
  Life. And unfortunately just ended up
• 2:12:41
  here. You're not going to see me back.
• 2:12:44
  So are you in counseling currently?
• 2:12:47
  Where are you? What did you, what did you do to
• 2:12:49
  get what have you done in the last year and in terms of
• 2:12:54
  addressing the substance abuse and the underlying factors?
• 2:12:59
  I've been. Through.
• 2:12:59
  Multiple a, a classes and meetings and.
• 2:13:03
  Are. You still going?
• 2:13:05
  Currently I'm not because of the license issue, if there's
• 2:13:09
  something online or something. That I could get involved in.
• 2:13:12
  I'm not opposed to that. Not being able to drive shit a
• 2:13:15
  lot of. Time and mental health because
• 2:13:18
  of the situation of a divorce is much.
• 2:13:21
  More. In line with what the general
• 2:13:23
  public would expect and. So are you currently in therapy
• 2:13:30
  with someone in regard to those that trauma of the divorce and
• 2:13:35
  whatever related issues? Currently I have not.
• 2:13:38
  Did you completed? You completed it?
• 2:13:40
  Yeah. Did you have a substance abuse
• 2:13:45
  assessment? Yes, you.
• 2:13:49
  Are and you followed the recommendations?
• 2:13:51
  Yes, you are. Mr. Krub also conclude the
• 2:13:54
  highway safety. Sewer as well You are Sir.
• 2:14:01
  It's never OK to drink that much.
• 2:14:04
  You certainly have a problem. It's also not an answer to drink
• 2:14:08
  away your problems. Asking for help is a sign of
• 2:14:11
  growth. It's a sign of strength.
• 2:14:14
  It's a good sign all the way around.
• 2:14:17
  Finding answers in the bottle gets you nowhere except in front
• 2:14:20
  of a judge or a body bag. So I hope you've learned that.
• 2:14:25
  Lesson. What else have you learned?
• 2:14:35
  Grief in Toronto. Around.
• 2:14:38
  Pretty hard to deal. With and should.
• 2:14:39
  Have reached out for help previous to trying to solve
• 2:14:42
  situations on my own. Can you do that now?
• 2:14:46
  I can, your honor. Do you have a support system in
• 2:14:49
  place? Yes, I have a.
• 2:14:53
  Pretty good sized family that's supporting me and yes I do have
• 2:14:57
  things in place. And how did you get here today?
• 2:15:01
  My brother. Sir, I'll put you in that 24
• 2:15:10
  months probation. You've been in a scram tether
• 2:15:14
  for what, a year? I'm going to remove that.
• 2:15:20
  How do you feel about that? That would be.
• 2:15:23
  Appreciated one because of the discomfort.
• 2:15:25
  Of it 2 because of the cost and three you.
• 2:15:29
  Won't. Have a problem with it?
• 2:15:31
  Well, Sir, you will have to submit any testing that
• 2:15:35
  probation wants. You'll not adulterate any test.
• 2:15:39
  If you are positive, then we will do a secondary test to see
• 2:15:44
  if it was a false positive or a positive positive.
• 2:15:46
  OK, You need to keep us surprised of all medications.
• 2:15:50
  And you know, sometimes there's alcohol and certain cough serves
• 2:15:55
  or other things to make sure doctors know that you have a
• 2:15:57
  problem with alcohol. If you end up having a
• 2:16:00
  prescription, you have 24 hours to tell us what you're taking so
• 2:16:04
  that if it shows up on the test, we know that it's awful.
• 2:16:07
  It's up to you to not eat or drink things with alcohol.
• 2:16:11
  So you go to someone's house, you don't know what's in the
• 2:16:13
  fruit crunch. You don't drink it or you find
• 2:16:16
  out, OK, you are not to be in the presence of any alcohol.
• 2:16:22
  You'll not be at any bar. You can go to restaurants like
• 2:16:28
  Red Lobster has a bar in it. You won't be sitting in that
• 2:16:31
  bar. You can sit in the restaurant.
• 2:16:32
  So where the primary business is alcohol, you cannot go.
• 2:16:36
  You can't go to a liquor store. Would you go to Meyer's and they
• 2:16:38
  sell alcohol? Yes, but you can't buy any.
• 2:16:40
  Does that make sense to you it? Does Your Honor?
• 2:16:48
  The cost for carvery is held in a vans pending agreement or
• 2:16:51
  hearing. You will pay a $50 state cost in
• 2:16:55
  a $75 crime victims. Those are not waivable.
• 2:17:00
  You can arrange a payment plan if needed.
• 2:17:02
  You are not working, so I'm going to waive probation
• 2:17:05
  oversight fees. You will not violate any
• 2:17:09
  criminal law, any unit of government in this state or any
• 2:17:12
  other. You'll not leave the state
• 2:17:13
  without permission of this court.
• 2:17:16
  You will make a truthful report to probation each contact.
• 2:17:19
  And because of the distance, this can be transferred to
• 2:17:24
  chestning or you can't simply meet with probation over Zoom,
• 2:17:29
  but you first have to meet with probation here.
• 2:17:32
  And then they would contact probation chest name.
• 2:17:36
  And then you could do it that way or they could meet with you.
• 2:17:40
  But testing doesn't know anything about you right now.
• 2:17:42
  So you first have to come here, then we work with them.
• 2:17:46
  Does that make sense? So, and I don't know if there's
• 2:17:48
  probation chest name or static or you just prefer to do it
• 2:17:51
  here, but you work all that out with probation.
• 2:17:54
  OK, OK. You'll not use, possess,
• 2:18:00
  purchase or be in the presence of any firearm, ammunition or on
• 2:18:03
  the dangerous weapon. Your vehicle, as we discussed,
• 2:18:06
  must be immobilized for the requisite period.
• 2:18:10
  I suspect you're already received and if you haven't,
• 2:18:13
  Secretary of State will be revoking or suspending your
• 2:18:15
  license for the requisite time period.
• 2:18:17
  Do you understand that as well? I.
• 2:18:19
  Do. You'll take the highway safety
• 2:18:21
  class and you've already done that, so I'm giving you credit
• 2:18:23
  for that. You were already submitted to
• 2:18:34
  counseling, so I'm only going to order counseling.
• 2:18:38
  If you end up with a positive, then you will be back in intense
• 2:18:43
  therapy, possibly residential AANARCA.
• 2:18:49
  You will go at least one time per week and you'll find a
• 2:18:52
  sponsor who you get along with and can call if you have the
• 2:18:57
  urge to drink or something's going on.
• 2:18:59
  And I want that sponsor to have worked a program and that's so
• 2:19:03
  we're through that program and have five years under their belt
• 2:19:07
  of sobriety. They'll have a sponsor within
• 2:19:09
  six months. Tell me about employment.
• 2:19:13
  Are you planning on retiring? You just didn't get employment
• 2:19:16
  because you drive a license or what it.
• 2:19:19
  Was due to. The license correct?
• 2:19:21
  Yeah. I was employed it.
• 2:19:22
  Just like. What's your line of business?
• 2:19:26
  I was in machining, manufacturing and yeah.
• 2:19:30
  That's a good job. You can't take an Uber and get
• 2:19:32
  rides from friends. Here's the thing, Sir, I don't
• 2:19:38
  know if you're near retirement or what.
• 2:19:39
  I don't know what your financials are.
• 2:19:42
  I don't need to know what I do know.
• 2:19:45
  I used to be the sobriety court judge and you have to go to
• 2:19:47
  District Court, and I've seen a lot of it since then.
• 2:19:49
  I'm like 22 years on the bench. And I do know, especially for
• 2:19:54
  men, especially for someone who's always had a job and the
• 2:19:58
  breadwinner, all those things that work is a good thing.
• 2:20:02
  Now I don't know if you have a hobby, if you go bowling every
• 2:20:04
  day or you go for long walks or what you do, but sitting around.
• 2:20:10
  Is not going to be good for your mental health.
• 2:20:14
  Now if you are retired and you want to play with grandkids or
• 2:20:17
  do whatever, that's fine. But if you're used to working
• 2:20:20
  and you need a purpose to get out of bed and not feel sorry
• 2:20:23
  for yourself and have a group of friends and all of those things
• 2:20:26
  that come with work, then you need to get back to work.
• 2:20:32
  So I leave that up to you and probation.
• 2:20:35
  But I'd like to see you figure out a way to go back to work.
• 2:20:38
  I bet there are friends who would pick you up to drive here
• 2:20:40
  or take an Uber. Certainly with the kind of job
• 2:20:44
  you had, you could afford Uber's or to pay a college kid or high
• 2:20:49
  school. To drive you to work.
• 2:20:51
  And pick you up. They'd probably love to do that.
• 2:20:54
  So you decide what you're going to do.
• 2:20:56
  But I want to know that you are filling your time being
• 2:21:00
  productive. Understood.
• 2:21:04
  I think that goes hand in hand with your mental health.
• 2:21:06
  I'm not a therapist. I'm not your therapist, but idle
• 2:21:10
  hands have a way of lizzing, depression, anxiety, other
• 2:21:15
  things, withdrawal and all of that leads to drugging, drinking
• 2:21:20
  and their bad habits. I.
• 2:21:24
  Want something that uplifts you? Maybe it's meditation and yoga.
• 2:21:29
  I really don't know. Because you worked it out with
• 2:21:31
  probation. I'd like to see a plan for your
• 2:21:34
  continued sobriety and healing. I think it should include work.
• 2:21:40
  You don't look old enough to retire to me.
• 2:21:42
  Maybe you've already earned your millions.
• 2:21:44
  I don't know. But work's a good thing no
• 2:21:47
  matter what your income is. So figure it out Sir, once
• 2:21:54
  you're employed or in whatever program or hobby or whatever it
• 2:21:58
  is you decide to fill your time with, you will steadily do that
• 2:22:02
  and need permission to change that road map.
• 2:22:07
  It'll work with probation or trained therapist to figure out
• 2:22:10
  where you go from here. Sounds like you don't really
• 2:22:15
  have a plan. Maybe you have some ideas, but
• 2:22:17
  let's get on a lifelong plan. You have a lot more life to live
• 2:22:20
  and let's make sure it's productive.
• 2:22:22
  Whatever you do is your choice. I want a plan and I want to get
• 2:22:28
  executed. We'll be watching you for two
• 2:22:31
  years. You will not abuse any
• 2:22:34
  prescription or non prescription medication.
• 2:22:37
  You'll not use any illegal substances or have any drug
• 2:22:40
  paraphernalia you have. In terms of prescriptions, we've
• 2:22:45
  talked about that. You will have 48 hours to show
• 2:22:48
  all prescriptions to probation. You will submit to pay for all
• 2:22:53
  testing and treatment. And as to community service
• 2:22:59
  work, Sir, is there something near your home or something
• 2:23:05
  you'd like to do? Nothing.
• 2:23:09
  Right on the top of my head, Your honor, I'm sure.
• 2:23:11
  I could come up. With something if that's what
• 2:23:13
  I've been tasked to do. Well, that's what the law says,
• 2:23:16
  30 to 60 hours. And so I'm going to give you the
• 2:23:18
  30 hours of community service, but I or day 30 days, however
• 2:23:23
  you work that out with probation.
• 2:23:25
  I'm sure there's a library or something that you could
• 2:23:28
  volunteer at or maybe working with kids or other people in
• 2:23:34
  substance abuse treatment. I don't know.
• 2:23:38
  You'll work it out with probation.
• 2:23:41
  How many days jail did you spend when you got arrested?
• 2:23:48
  I believe it was like shy 2. So 2 days.
• 2:23:52
  Yes, Your Honor, 2 calendar days.
• 2:23:54
  OK. So the statute is 25 days.
• 2:23:57
  Is that what this says under one year?
• 2:24:00
  It's five days to one year or 30 to 90 days of community service.
• 2:24:05
  So I'm going to give you 365 days jail credit for two days
• 2:24:12
  the balance is held. We do those 30 days or 30 hours
• 2:24:17
  community service if you decide not to do those for.
• 2:24:22
  You hours or days, Your honor. What does it say and?
• 2:24:25
  It says 30 to 90 days of community service. 30 days.
• 2:24:28
  OK. Is there anything else that I
• 2:25:07
  have missed that the people are requesting?
• 2:25:11
  Only other thing, your honor, is that a substance abuse?
• 2:25:15
  It sounds as if he had taken a substance abuse assessment.
• 2:25:17
  I would ask that that be given to probation so probation knows
• 2:25:20
  exactly what they're working with all.
• 2:25:23
  Right. So it sounds like you've already
• 2:25:25
  completed all the requirements, correct?
• 2:25:27
  Correct. All right, so just provide all
• 2:25:29
  of that or in lieu of that assessment, a letter from your
• 2:25:34
  provider saying what the recommendations are.
• 2:25:36
  So because you're required to follow those recommendations.
• 2:25:39
  So if you're done and everything's good, that's fine.
• 2:25:42
  Makes sense? It does.
• 2:25:44
  I'll provide it to the probation promptly, Your Honor.
• 2:25:46
  All right and then prove the highway safety correct.
• 2:25:51
  You have 42 days to appeal to request appellate council.
• 2:25:59
  Can you please hand miss appellate rights?
• 2:26:01
  They're right, thanks to. Through balance receiving your
• 2:26:10
  appellate rights. Thank you All right thank you
• 2:26:12
  Sir. So before you leave today just
• 2:26:14
  to make it easy for downstairs to make and keep that
• 2:26:16
  appointment probation and then if you'd like to transfer to
• 2:26:18
  Justin at all of that these three.
• 2:26:21
  Terms since. All right.
• 2:26:27
  Good luck too, Sir. Thank you.
• 2:26:29
  Thank you, Your honor. Okie, dokie friends, TCF live.
• 2:26:35
  What about 35 or so minutes more to go?
• 2:26:37
  We're solidly an hour 3 now. Just a three hour show today,
• 2:26:39
  not four. I am feverishly working on the
• 2:26:43
  closing. I did the opening in the style
• 2:26:45
  of Doctor Seuss. I promised you I'd do the
• 2:26:47
  closing as well, so I'm writing that as we watch.
• 2:26:50
  Let's go down to Louisiana. Check in on the Parole Board.
• 2:26:59
  OK, so we'll start off. We are at Catahoula
• 2:27:02
  Correctional. Mr. Geding, state your name and
• 2:27:07
  DLC number. 1st for geding 538992.
• 2:27:12
  OK. Would staff and headquarters
• 2:27:15
  introduce yourself? Sure.
• 2:27:17
  I'll. OK.
• 2:27:19
  And there's is there anybody in there with you, Mr. Geding?
• 2:27:22
  No, Sir. OK.
• 2:27:24
  All right. Mr. Geding, do you have your
• 2:27:26
  parole questionnaire with you? Yes, Sir.
• 2:27:30
  OK. You realize you're not eligible
• 2:27:31
  for appointed counsel. If you want to counsel, you
• 2:27:33
  would have to retain it. Yes, Sir.
• 2:27:36
  Or to proceed. Today without appointed counsel.
• 2:27:38
  Yes, Sir. OK.
• 2:27:40
  Your case has been assigned to Miss Stapleton.
• 2:27:43
  So Miss Stapleton, take it good. Morning, Sir.
• 2:27:47
  I'm going to go over your rule violations.
• 2:27:49
  You're going. To plead, you're going to plead
• 2:27:52
  guilty, not or not guilty with a statement, OK.
• 2:27:56
  Yes, ma'am. OK.
• 2:27:58
  At your revocation hearing on 1/13/2020, six in lieu of
• 2:28:02
  revocation, the Board ordered you to complete a work release
• 2:28:05
  program. You failed to comply with the
• 2:28:08
  orders of the Parole Board in that you did not satisfactorily
• 2:28:12
  complete work release due to rule violations #1 contraband
• 2:28:17
  scale and then #14 intoxication. How do you?
• 2:28:21
  Play. Ma'am, I plead guilty to the
• 2:28:24
  intoxication and not guilty to the contraband because it was a
• 2:28:29
  poor. It was a poor and and
• 2:28:31
  disrespectful way to honor my dad died and I used it as a poor
• 2:28:37
  excuse to to to get high. OK, well, I'm.
• 2:28:44
  I'm all I can do is read what they said.
• 2:28:48
  This was your disciplinary report, OK.
• 2:28:50
  And I'm very sorry about your dad.
• 2:28:52
  Very sorry. Thank.
• 2:28:53
  You Christopher Keating, stumbling as he walked down the
• 2:28:57
  highway and passed by me to get to his dorm.
• 2:29:01
  Offender geating is housed in blah blah blah.
• 2:29:05
  Observing some steady movement, I approached Keating, who had
• 2:29:09
  just laid down in his bunk and instructed him to stand up.
• 2:29:11
  As he attempted to get up, I observed that his motor function
• 2:29:15
  and coordination was impaired. Due to his intoxicated
• 2:29:20
  condition, which you just plead guilty to, it was unsafe to to
• 2:29:24
  handcuff him at the time. I assisted offender geeding
• 2:29:30
  upright and escorted him to the rear of the CEO office where he
• 2:29:34
  was past searched, secured and handcuffed and seated.
• 2:29:39
  Due to his erratic gestures and failing to properly communicate,
• 2:29:44
  EMS was dispatched and after oh gosh I'm OK and after the
• 2:29:49
  assessment of offender, Geeding was cleared to be transported to
• 2:29:53
  West Baton Rouge Detention Center.
• 2:29:56
  Offender Geeding's bunk was searched and clothes were packed
• 2:30:01
  before he was escorted to West Baton Rouge and the offender's
• 2:30:05
  bunk, a small piece of off white wax light paper.
• 2:30:09
  Bordered with blue lines. Photo.
• 2:30:12
  Photos and videos were taken and submitted to my superior
• 2:30:15
  officer. This offender is in violation of
• 2:30:18
  DOC and West Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program rules
• 2:30:23
  and regular regulations. There is nothing further to
• 2:30:26
  report at this. Time.
• 2:30:28
  So. Do you?
• 2:30:30
  How do you still plead not guilty or guilty?
• 2:30:33
  I still I still feel guilty to intoxication but there I don't
• 2:30:36
  know what he found on my rack, but there wasn't nothing on my
• 2:30:39
  rack. This was the one and only time
• 2:30:41
  that that that I did anything on, so whatever they found on my
• 2:30:45
  rack I know wasn't wasn't anything.
• 2:30:48
  OK, well I'm going to ask my other board members if they have
• 2:30:51
  questions. We have no questions.
• 2:30:52
  I have no questions. I'm sorry, no questions.
• 2:30:56
  Ready to vote? OK, Mr. Keating, based upon the
• 2:30:59
  fact that you did plead guilty to in such intoxication, you are
• 2:31:03
  in violation of rule #14 and and so you have been revoked today.
• 2:31:14
  Miss Ledoux, my vote is to revoke.
• 2:31:18
  OK. I mean, we tried to send you
• 2:31:20
  there, Mr. Geeting, I'm. Sorry about your father.
• 2:31:22
  But you didn't make the program, so we have no alternative to to
• 2:31:26
  revoke you today. So good luck to you.
• 2:31:30
  Can I ask you a question? No, you may not.
• 2:31:39
  All righty, that was a quick one.
• 2:31:41
  Let's go back up to Ohio, Judge O'Donnell.
• 2:31:47
  We're here in the case of State of Ohio versus Michael Logar,
• 2:31:50
  case number 26. CR 252 then is present in the
• 2:31:54
  courtroom and represented by defense counsel.
• 2:31:56
  We're here today for a pretrial or change of plea in the matter.
• 2:32:01
  Sorry, quick pause before they get into it because I keep
• 2:32:03
  forgetting. Tim, thank you for gifting
• 2:32:05
  another membership. And Barbara, thank you for
• 2:32:08
  gifting a membership. I meant to say that like 2 cases
• 2:32:10
  ago and I forgot. I'm so sorry, but very much
• 2:32:13
  appreciated. All right, let's continue.
• 2:32:14
  Understanding that the. Defendant wishes to change his
• 2:32:17
  plea to guilty to the two counts of theft in the indictment.
• 2:32:23
  All right, Mr. Waymack. Is my understanding you're on
• 2:32:26
  it. All right, Mr. Logar, how old
• 2:32:31
  are you, 50? 7.
• 2:32:33
  How far did you go through school?
• 2:32:34
  11th grade. You gotta speak up a little bit.
• 2:32:39
  Got my GED and 80. 9. Are you AUS citizen?
• 2:32:43
  Yes. Are you able to read, write,
• 2:32:45
  understand the English language? Yes, prior to coming according
• 2:32:50
  to taking any drugs or alcohol or any prescription medication
• 2:32:53
  within the last 48 hours. Just what I'm prescribed.
• 2:32:57
  I I can't, you got to speak up. Just what I'm prescribed.
• 2:33:00
  What do you prescribed? Depakote and eviscerol.
• 2:33:06
  When did you last take either of those?
• 2:33:10
  Last night? Does it affect your ability to
• 2:33:13
  understand what's going on? No emotional emotional
• 2:33:19
  stabilizer ends from my high cholesterol.
• 2:33:38
  Did you get a copy of this indictment?
• 2:33:41
  Yes. And you're pleading guilty to
• 2:33:43
  both of those charges, is that correct?
• 2:33:45
  Yes. And before I accept your guilty
• 2:33:48
  plea, I need to determine that you know and understand the
• 2:33:50
  constitutional rights you'll be waiving, the consequences of
• 2:33:54
  your guilty plea and the maximum penalty I could give you.
• 2:33:56
  And it needs to be satisfied that you're guilty pleas being
• 2:33:59
  made freely, knowingly and voluntarily.
• 2:34:01
  I'm going to ask you questions. If you don't understand a
• 2:34:03
  question, stop me. If you want to talk to Mr. Lang
• 2:34:06
  Max some more, let me know and I'll give you more time.
• 2:34:08
  You understand that? Yes.
• 2:34:10
  You have a constitutional right to have a trial.
• 2:34:12
  Give it to me or to a jury of 12 Lake County citizens.
• 2:34:16
  Do you understand that right? Yes.
• 2:34:18
  Are you waving that right? Yes.
• 2:34:20
  If you go to a jury trial, all 12 members must agree to a
• 2:34:23
  guilty verdict before you can be found guilty.
• 2:34:25
  Do you understand that right? Yes.
• 2:34:27
  Are you waving that right? If you go to trial, the
• 2:34:32
  prosecutor will call witnesses to testify against you.
• 2:34:34
  Do you understand the prosecutor must prove you guilty beyond a
• 2:34:38
  reasonable doubt at a trial, after the witnesses are done
• 2:34:42
  testifying for the prosecutor, you have the constitutional
• 2:34:44
  right to have your lawyer cross examine the witnesses.
• 2:34:46
  Do you understand that right? Are you waiving that right?
• 2:34:50
  If you go to trial, you have the right to have witnesses come
• 2:34:53
  here and testify for you. Do you understand that right?
• 2:34:56
  Are you waiving that right? If those witnesses refuse to
• 2:35:00
  come to court, I'll issue an order called the subpoena to
• 2:35:02
  make them testify. Do you understand that right?
• 2:35:04
  Are you waiving that right? You have the right to testify a
• 2:35:08
  trial if you want to. Do you understand that right?
• 2:35:11
  Are you waiving that right? You have the constitutional
• 2:35:14
  right to not testify a trial if you do not want to.
• 2:35:16
  Do you understand that right? Are you waiving that right If
• 2:35:20
  you decide not to testify a trial?
• 2:35:22
  Nobody is permitted to comment on that decision.
• 2:35:24
  Do you understand that? Yes.
• 2:35:26
  If you go to trial and you're found guilty of the right to
• 2:35:28
  appeal the guilty finding, do you understand that right?
• 2:35:31
  Yes. Are you waiving that right?
• 2:35:33
  Yes. If you file an appeal, you have
• 2:35:34
  a constitutional right to have a lawyer represent you in the
• 2:35:37
  appeal. Do you understand that right?
• 2:35:38
  Yes. Are you waiving that right?
• 2:35:40
  Yes. If you could not afford to hire
• 2:35:42
  a lawyer, one would be provided at no cost to you.
• 2:35:44
  Do you understand that? Yes, if you file an appeal,
• 2:35:47
  you're entitled to have a transcript of all the hearings
• 2:35:49
  in this case. Do you understand that Right?
• 2:35:51
  Yes. Are you waiving that right?
• 2:35:53
  Yes, if you could not afford a copy of those transcripts to be
• 2:35:56
  given to you at no cost, you understand that?
• 2:35:58
  Yes, if you plead guilty today, you will not have a right to
• 2:36:01
  appeal the guilty finding. Do you understand that?
• 2:36:04
  Yes. Do you have any questions about
• 2:36:05
  any of these rights? No.
• 2:36:07
  Do you still want to plead guilty to these charges?
• 2:36:10
  Yes. Do you understand by pleading
• 2:36:12
  guilty you're fully admitting you're guilt to the charges?
• 2:36:16
  Do you? Understand by pleading guilty to
• 2:36:18
  these felonies or to this felony or volunteer, they're giving up
• 2:36:21
  your freedom for whatever period of time I could sent to the
• 2:36:23
  prison, to jail or to community control.
• 2:36:28
  And count 1 theft is a felony of the 5th degree.
• 2:36:30
  It carries a 12 month maximum prison sentence and a $2500
• 2:36:34
  maximum fine. Do you understand that?
• 2:36:36
  Yes. Count 2 theft is a misdemeanor
• 2:36:38
  one. It carries a maximum 180 days in
• 2:36:41
  jail and a maximum $1000 fine. Do you understand that?
• 2:36:44
  Yes. If I gave you a consecutive
• 2:36:47
  sentence, then the maximum prison sentence you face is 12
• 2:36:51
  months and the maximum fine $3500.
• 2:36:53
  Do you understand that? Are you on post release control
• 2:36:56
  to the Parole Authority? No.
• 2:36:59
  Do you understand if a prison term is imposed in this case,
• 2:37:02
  you might have to serve a period of post release control as part
• 2:37:04
  of your sentence for up to two years under the parole
• 2:37:06
  authority? Yeah.
• 2:37:08
  If you are placed on post release control and violating
• 2:37:10
  conditions of parole authority could return it to prison for up
• 2:37:13
  to nine months for each violation up to 1/2 of my
• 2:37:16
  sentence. Do you understand that?
• 2:37:17
  Do you understand if your violation of post release
• 2:37:20
  control is a new felony, you could get an additional
• 2:37:23
  consecutive prison sentence for that violation, do you
• 2:37:26
  understand that? And if that were to happen, the
• 2:37:28
  maximum prison term for the violation would be the greater
• 2:37:31
  of 12 months or the time left under post release control.
• 2:37:34
  Do you understand that? Do you understand that if a
• 2:37:38
  prison term is imposed, you are eligible for judicial release?
• 2:37:41
  Yes. Yes.
• 2:37:44
  I could place you on community control for up to five years,
• 2:37:47
  but if you violate, I can send you to prison for 12 months.
• 2:37:49
  You understand that? Yes.
• 2:37:51
  Has anybody promised you I would be lenient on you just because
• 2:37:54
  you're pleading guilty today? No.
• 2:37:56
  Has anybody promised you what I will sent you to in this case?
• 2:37:59
  No. Do you understand I do not have
• 2:38:01
  to follow the sentencing recommendation of either the
• 2:38:03
  prosecutor or your lawyer? Yes.
• 2:38:05
  Have you had enough time to talk to Mr. Lang Mack before pleading
• 2:38:08
  guilty today? Yes.
• 2:38:11
  Has he discussed everything about your case and answered all
• 2:38:13
  of your questions to? The best of his ability, yes.
• 2:38:16
  Are you satisfied with the advice he has given you?
• 2:38:19
  Right. Have you been threatened or
• 2:38:21
  coerced in any way to plead guilty today?
• 2:38:23
  No. Are you freely, knowingly and
• 2:38:25
  voluntarily entering your guilty plea?
• 2:38:27
  Yes, I am do. You have any questions at this
• 2:38:29
  point? Nothing, Your Honor.
• 2:38:32
  So Gretzky in this case went to trial, the evidence show.
• 2:38:36
  You have an answered show that on January 24th of 2026 and will
• 2:38:41
  be Lake County, Ohio. The defendant did take
• 2:38:44
  merchandise from Lowe's Home Improvement without paying for
• 2:38:47
  it. The amount of merchandise was
• 2:38:49
  over $1000. He then, in the same city, took
• 2:38:53
  merchandise from Target without paying for it.
• 2:38:56
  Mr. Lane, I can even add to those facts.
• 2:38:59
  Nothing bad, John. Mr. Logar, did you hear what Mr.
• 2:39:01
  Gretzky said, that the facts would show if the case went to
• 2:39:04
  trial? Yes, I did.
• 2:39:06
  Are those facts true? Yes, they are.
• 2:39:08
  Yeah. What is your plea to count 1
• 2:39:10
  Theft a felony 5. Guilty.
• 2:39:13
  What is your plea to count 2. Theft a misdemeanor 1.
• 2:39:15
  Guilty. Like it could reflect that prior
• 2:39:30
  to this hearing, I did have an opportunity to go over these
• 2:39:32
  documents and the issues contained therein.
• 2:39:34
  And Mr. Logan does have now it's an understanding of them.
• 2:40:22
  And in the court back the written.
• 2:40:29
  So, Logar, is this your signature on the written plea of
• 2:40:32
  guilty? Yes, it is your.
• 2:40:34
  Honor, did you sign it voluntarily?
• 2:40:36
  Yes. Do you want me to accept your
• 2:40:38
  written plea of guilty? Yes, please.
• 2:40:41
  I'll accept the written plea. Guilty.
• 2:40:42
  The penalist President, Mr. Lamac advised all of his rights
• 2:40:45
  been annoying. Intelligent, voluntary waiver.
• 2:40:48
  He understands the nature of the charge.
• 2:40:49
  The consequence of his guilty plea in the maximum penalty.
• 2:40:53
  Find it to be knowing, intelligent and voluntary.
• 2:40:55
  I will accept his plea of guilty and find him guilty of count 1
• 2:41:00
  theft a felony 5 and count 2 theft to misdemeanor one.
• 2:41:05
  Refer this for a pre sentence report.
• 2:41:09
  Sentencing will be May 26 at 2:30 and the bond remains
• 2:41:15
  revoked. Anything else?
• 2:41:16
  Mr. Lane Mac? Mr. Gretzky?
• 2:41:22
  All right, we're adjourned. All right.
• 2:41:39
  All righty, friends, let's go back up to Michigan.
• 2:41:42
  Judge McNally. We'll hang for him for a while
• 2:41:45
  while I keep writing because I'm really trying to make this outro
• 2:41:50
  good for you guys today because you all paid for it yesterday.
• 2:41:53
  And doggone it, you ought to get for the, you ought to get value
• 2:41:56
  for the money you gave me. Also, Barbara, thank you for
• 2:41:58
  gifting another membership. Very much appreciate it.
• 2:42:05
  I want you up here. Your appearance P76343.
• 2:42:10
  Sorry, just very few seconds. Well, I called it because I got
• 2:42:14
  this stipulated order adjoining bench trial correct.
• 2:42:20
  I had told you last time I was not going to adjourn the trial.
• 2:42:24
  I understand. Why in the world would you do
• 2:42:28
  that and submit that with the hopes it's going to get by a
• 2:42:31
  judge. Either that or you thought I was
• 2:42:34
  kidding. I don't get in here.
• 2:42:37
  I have a very good sense of humor outside of here.
• 2:42:41
  But I told you I wasn't going to adjourn this.
• 2:42:44
  And then I get a stipulated order.
• 2:42:46
  Like I sign 150 to 200 orders a week, probably in judgments.
• 2:42:51
  Why would you submit an order, a stipulated order adjourning a
• 2:42:55
  bench trial, And I just got done telling you I wasn't going to
• 2:42:58
  adjourn it. I hope you don't do that in
• 2:43:00
  other courts, Judge. Just listen to what I'm telling
• 2:43:04
  you, counsel. I am not happy about this.
• 2:43:08
  I don't fool around in here. I'm not kidding.
• 2:43:11
  You guys had multiple pretrials and now all of a sudden there's
• 2:43:15
  this urgency to adjourn because your client is going to start a
• 2:43:18
  job. If there if you had a pretrial
• 2:43:21
  on February the 5th, 19th, 16th of April, I mean February 5th
• 2:43:30
  and 19th and March 19th and April 16th.
• 2:43:35
  And now you're telling my clerk your clients not showing up and
• 2:43:37
  you want to know when you can walk them and listen to me very
• 2:43:40
  carefully. If he dares plays games with me,
• 2:43:44
  like he better have a lot of me. And don't think if you walk in
• 2:43:50
  here on Monday or Tuesday or Friday that that I'm going to
• 2:43:53
  just say, oh, let's let bygones be bygones.
• 2:43:58
  He will be sitting in that lock up unless he's married to a
• 2:44:01
  physician for the longest time. But more important, I'm
• 2:44:07
  disappointed in you when I tell you I'm not going to adjourn
• 2:44:11
  something. You don't submit a skip in order
• 2:44:14
  to adjourn behind my back with the hopes I'll forget about it.
• 2:44:17
  And signing. I'm serious, it's a heart
• 2:44:20
  attack. Why would you do such a thing?
• 2:44:28
  Mr. Borgia asked me if I could do whatever I could to get it.
• 2:44:32
  You brought it up. I said no.
• 2:44:36
  Why would you do such a thing? I don't care what your client
• 2:44:40
  asks you to do. Does he finally got it before he
• 2:44:45
  has two weeks where he came. This is an animal violation
• 2:44:48
  case. It's a dog bite.
• 2:44:50
  It's a domestic violence. And they're going.
• 2:44:59
  Through a custody issue so that's why he was trying to get
• 2:45:01
  it so the custody issue would not affect his you mean to tell
• 2:45:05
  me if he starts one day later he can't get a job at Ford Motor
• 2:45:09
  Company judge they the. E-mail said that.
• 2:45:12
  He has to be there for two weeks straight otherwise he will be
• 2:45:16
  terminated from the job. There's no exceptions, no.
• 2:45:18
  Excuses. Lee I.
• 2:45:22
  When is he supposed to start? He started on one of the judge,
• 2:45:25
  so I think he's going to miss work tomorrow and have to be
• 2:45:29
  applied between four. Listen, I thought it was an
• 2:45:38
  animal violation, but it doesn't matter.
• 2:45:41
  Now did you? Well, why?
• 2:45:42
  Why? Why so many?
• 2:45:43
  This is a domestic violence case, That's fine.
• 2:45:46
  Why so many pre trials? If you guys needed to to push
• 2:45:49
  this through, I'd have given you a trial date six weeks ago.
• 2:45:53
  The judge, we didn't want to. Push us through.
• 2:45:55
  We wanted to work with the. Family.
• 2:45:58
  Law to get their custody issues set up at the same time as this
• 2:46:01
  was being resolved and they were supposed to have a custody
• 2:46:05
  hearing last week and it's not a contentious issue.
• 2:46:09
  So and he wants to be able to support his two children with
• 2:46:12
  this with the victim. And he wasn't a former police
• 2:46:15
  officer. I don't care who he was.
• 2:46:17
  And he lost his job and now he's been working as a plumber.
• 2:46:20
  But he finally he's like, I finally have a job to get on a
• 2:46:22
  Ford. I can't be my kids and move some
• 2:46:26
  other. I know, but.
• 2:46:27
  He. If if he told you that judge, I
• 2:46:33
  begged him to set, I said can. You start 2 weeks.
• 2:46:35
  Later listen to me if he told you that and me I they remember
• 2:46:43
  you doing something about starting a job, maybe you
• 2:46:45
  brought this up. I don't believe I did trust.
• 2:46:47
  Because I didn't know. He said he.
• 2:46:49
  Was looking for a check, he was waiting.
• 2:46:50
  I supported it back to you but. I don't know if I.
• 2:46:51
  Brought that up. I did bring up the custody.
• 2:46:54
  I just tried sneezing by the I just no, but you can't you can't
• 2:46:58
  do this. I was really surprised.
• 2:47:01
  I didn't think you were would do something like this.
• 2:47:05
  I mean, I just, well, you could have filed an emergency motion
• 2:47:09
  and it been explanatory. It said this that the other.
• 2:47:12
  All I've heard is adjourn, adjourn, adjourn, adjourn,
• 2:47:15
  adjourn. On this case.
• 2:47:17
  I don't want to cost anybody a job.
• 2:47:20
  Heather, I may forget that Mister Nyenhaus handled this
• 2:47:26
  inappropriately. Hang on, I'm going to adjourn
• 2:47:30
  this. You called Mr. Kaylee's office.
• 2:47:33
  I'm. They already submitted A stip
• 2:47:35
  and order. I'm going to adjourn this two
• 2:47:36
  more weeks. Is that going to do it?
• 2:47:40
  May 14th? Yes, Judge.
• 2:47:43
  You sure? Yes, Judge, because you said he
• 2:47:46
  started this last week and he needs to be there for two weeks,
• 2:47:48
  right? He told.
• 2:47:49
  Me it was 2 weeks. He can't.
• 2:47:50
  I was like. All right, all right, OK, sure.
• 2:47:53
  In For some reason I thought this was an animal violation.
• 2:47:58
  No judge this. Was a we're going to adjourn
• 2:47:59
  this to or is it May the 13th? Heather No.
• 2:48:02
  May the 14th. It'll be May 14th.
• 2:48:04
  Judge, do you want to? Do it.
• 2:48:05
  At 11:00. Yes, you are.
• 2:48:09
  What time are we going to do this?
• 2:48:11
  Do you want to do 11? Are we doing it as a trial that
• 2:48:14
  day? Yes.
• 2:48:15
  So you want to do 11:00? What?
• 2:48:18
  I was going to say I have a do you want at 8:30.
• 2:48:19
  In the morning. So if I could just have it after
• 2:48:21
  during 30 or 10, I'll make it 11 May 14th at 11:00.
• 2:48:25
  I'm going to forget this happened, by the way.
• 2:48:28
  Next time file a motion, emergency motion.
• 2:48:31
  I'll accommodate you with an emergency motion, but I felt
• 2:48:33
  like you were trying to get one by on me and I, I don't like
• 2:48:36
  that. As soon as I got.
• 2:48:37
  Information from Mr. Bogia. I reached out to Mr. May 14th.
• 2:48:42
  That's what we'll be. All.
• 2:48:45

• 2:50:40
  wave formal reading? Yes, he does.
• 2:50:41
  And so now I, I, he's going to plead guilty to both of these,
• 2:50:45
  both the A&B and the disorderly under Section 771.1.
• 2:50:54
  I got a call in the prosecutor real quick.
• 2:50:59
  Mr. Urich, please, I can't do a 771 for 18 months.
• 2:51:07
  It has to be disposed of within 12 months.
• 2:51:10
  Friday you can 769, you can 7411, you can any of these other
• 2:51:16
  statutes, but you can't do it on a 771.
• 2:51:19
  So he's just going to have to change it or do something else.
• 2:51:24
  But I can't do 18 months probation on them.
• 2:51:29
  That's all right. I know sometimes you can waive.
• 2:51:31
  That. That's all right.
• 2:51:33
  Well, I don't. Yeah, No, I OK.
• 2:51:39
  So, Sir, do you understand? So first of all, he stands me up
• 2:51:43
  ways for more reason, right? And now he's going to plead
• 2:51:45
  guilty to these two children, disturb the peace and A&B, and
• 2:51:49
  then there's going to be a plead of Eric your name.
• 2:51:56
  Good. Morning, Your Honor.

• 2:52:04
  Is that right? Judge, Yeah, I apologize.
• 2:52:09
  There's nothing to apologize about.
• 2:52:11
  You want to just redo it to 12 months or you want to do
• 2:52:13
  something else with Mr. Nyeans? Do it 12 months up the court,
• 2:52:17

• 2:52:38
  I'll send you for a pre sentence report and if you're complying
• 2:52:42

  understand the advice of rights. If you plead guilty, you'll be
• 2:52:50
  giving up all those rights and there will be no hearing or
• 2:52:52
  trials. You understand that?
• 2:52:54
  OK. Do you have any questions on any
• 2:52:56
  of your rights to the charge? Disturb the peace?
• 2:53:00
  How do you plead to the charge of salt and battery?
• 2:53:04
  How do you plead on March 15 at 26 at 1:44 PM.
• 2:53:08
  Where you at? 22900 Allen Rd. near Weston Wood
• 2:53:11
  Ape. Yeah.
• 2:53:14
  And. And what is that?
• 2:53:16
  A business establishment. It is Josh.
• 2:53:19
  What is it? What business is that?
• 2:53:22
  It's. Outside of Christophe's.
• 2:53:23
  You're right. OK.
• 2:53:25
  And what happened that makes you guilty of those two offenses?
• 2:53:28
  Disturb the peace and assault and back.
• 2:53:31
  Mutual. Combat.
• 2:53:32
  You're right, no. Well, see, let me.
• 2:53:34
  No, I mean, can I? No, let me ask.
• 2:53:36
  Let me ask the questions. Did you come into contact with
• 2:53:40
  Joseph Clinton? Yes, you're right.
• 2:53:42
  Did you know Joseph Clinton prior to that?
• 2:53:45
  Did you just meet him that day? That was our first meeting.
• 2:53:49
  You're right. OK.
• 2:53:51
  And what happened? Did you, did you, Did you strike
• 2:53:54
  him in any way? I did strike him.
• 2:53:57
  Yesterday with what? My hand.
• 2:54:00
  This OK? How?
• 2:54:02
  Where'd you strike him? At space, Your Honor.
• 2:54:05
  How many times? Unknown amount, Your Honor.
• 2:54:09
  Pardon. Unknown amount, Your Honor.
• 2:54:12
  So you punched him in the face multiple times.
• 2:54:14
  Is that fair? Yes, Your Honor.
• 2:54:16
  And were were you disturbing the peace in some other way?
• 2:54:18
  Were you yelling? Screaming.
• 2:54:19
  Swearing there are other people got out of their cars and it
• 2:54:25
  caused a disturbance. Yes, you're right.
• 2:54:26
  OK, So what happened? Why did you punch him?
• 2:54:30
  He almost T boned me and my children.
• 2:54:32
  All right, so he was backing out of a car, out of a parking lot,
• 2:54:36
  or? Was that the intersection you're
• 2:54:38
  on? OK, so you got angry with waves
• 2:54:41
  driving, is that fair? And then you start and you
• 2:54:46
  accosted him or it came up to him and started yelling at him.
• 2:54:49
  Is that fair? Yes.
• 2:54:51
  And then what happened? Did he ever punch you or swing
• 2:54:54
  at you or take a strike at you before you punched him?
• 2:54:58
  Before. No, you're on.
• 2:54:59
  Not before. Before.
• 2:55:01
  No, you're on. So you were the aggressor first.
• 2:55:03
  Is that fair to say? Yes, Sir.
• 2:55:04
  And that you weren't acting in self-defense?
• 2:55:07
  Are you on probation or parole right now?
• 2:55:09
  No, you're on. Anybody force you to plead
• 2:55:13
  guilty? No, you're on.
• 2:55:18
  You're satisfied, right? Yes.
• 2:55:19
  Thank you very much. Appreciate that.
• 2:55:20
  I'll accept the plea. I'll take it under and under
• 2:55:24
  771, both of them. And I'll make them 12 months and
• 2:55:28
  we'll set it under. I'll take it under 771.1
• 2:55:32
  commencing on the date of the sentence.
• 2:55:33
  I am going to order. You were not.
• 2:55:35
  He wasn't under the outfit influence of anything, was he?
• 2:55:39
  You don't you agree this wasn't the right way to handle this,
• 2:55:41
  right? OK, fair enough.
• 2:55:44
  Told you we're going to take responsibility.
• 2:55:46
  I got it, Mr. Nienhaus. I'm not going to give him pre
• 2:55:53
  sentence report. If you want, maybe I can even do
• 2:56:01
  it the same day as your other case.
• 2:56:03
  We set it for May 14th, right, Heather?
• 2:56:06
  Yes. Well, let's set this one for
• 2:56:10
  10:45. How's that?
• 2:56:13
  And then I'll set some then and get back to the other.
• 2:56:17
  Mr. Nanos. Maybe it was just maybe it was
• 2:56:19
  just a month misunderstanding. I'm going to give I'm going to
• 2:56:22
  give you the benefit of the doubt.
• 2:56:24
  And I was just upset when I got a stiff in order to adjourn when
• 2:56:28
  I'd said I had. And next time, I just encourage
• 2:56:30
  you to file a motion and explain it and I'll be reasonable with
• 2:56:33
  you. OK.
• 2:56:36
  All right. So you're going to go down.

• 2:56:50
  George, I do have a question. Can we do it that day or are we
• 2:56:53
  going to notify the victim on this or no?
• 2:56:55

• 2:56:57
  It have to be on a Woodhaven day or no if we have to notify the
• 2:57:01
  victim. Yeah, it should be.
• 2:57:04
  That's Woodhaven though, right? Not on the other day as his
• 2:57:07

• 2:57:35
  How's that? OK, I got to set bond
• 2:57:41
  conditions, though I neglected to do that.
• 2:57:45
  Your client doesn't have any warrants out, does he?
• 2:57:47
  No, judge. He was never fingerprinted on
• 2:57:50
  this though, was he? No, he was not judged.

  Have a good day. Thank you.
• 2:59:34
  Well, we've travelled Courtlandia all morning long
• 2:59:38
  with gavel slams, rulings and stories gone wrong from judges
• 2:59:43
  who swear to defendants who stall.
• 2:59:45
  We've seen it all, folks. We've had quite a ball.
• 2:59:48
  There was O'Donnell with language so bold, calling out
• 2:59:51
  scammers and stories retold fake urine in court.
• 2:59:55
  Oh, the drama was thick. You don't give a shit, said the
• 2:59:58
  judge mighty quick. Then Mercer viewed rap sheet
• 3:00:01
  that went on and on. The worst that he'd witnessed.
• 3:00:04
  Oh man, what went wrong, $10,000 bond for the man with the pat
• 3:00:09
  With that past. Well, another poor fellow got
• 3:00:12
  charges dropped fast. Type 1 diabetic blood sugar so
• 3:00:16
  high his mom begged to drop it, and the state said goodbye New
• 3:00:22
  Judge Hakeem brought a moment so sweet when Bacon appeared in the
• 3:00:26
  chat Had to eat Can we have bacon?
• 3:00:29
  She called with a grin and we laughed and said We think that
• 3:00:32
  Bacon should win. Judge Aquilina gave wisdom so
• 3:00:36
  true. Stay busy my man.
• 3:00:38
  Here's what you should do for men who drink.
• 3:00:41
  Heavy work keeps the mind right. A message that landed with power
• 3:00:45
  and light. In Louisiana, an inmate stood
• 3:00:48
  tall. Dad passed away, but violations
• 3:00:50
  did fall. Work released ended.
• 3:00:53
  The judgement came down. Another hard lesson in
• 3:00:56
  Cortlandia town. And oh what a crowd.
• 3:00:58
  So many new faces, first timers and regulars filling our spaces
• 3:01:03
  from coast to coast, courts all over the land.
• 3:01:06
  We laughed and we learned with this wonderful band, new friends
• 3:01:10
  we found as the hours flew by. Thank you for riding through
• 3:01:13
  Courtlandia High. We'll do it again when the
• 3:01:16
  morning bells toll. Same time, same place.
• 3:01:20
  Come on, lawn nerds, let's roll.
