  call in via zoom and it's now 9 O 2:00 AM.
• 21:35
  We've had no contact from him. What file shows a prior bench
• 21:39
  warrant was issued in this case and speak that back?
• 21:51
  That was not a bench warrant. That was an actual bond posted
• 21:58
  it looks like on the original charge.
• 22:00
  So there was a $1500 cash bond posted, but that was on the
• 22:05
  original charge. Do not see any prior bench
• 22:08
  warrants in this case and accordingly we will hold this
• 22:12
  for a matter of 48 hours before any bench warrant is issued.
• 22:19
  File 260945 SD for people versus Hilario Lopez Juarez and it was
• 22:28
  also set this morning for arraignment at 8:30.
• 22:31
  Notice clip here was set on the 30th of March for today's date
• 22:36
  at 8:30. Was also given permission to
• 22:39
  call in via Zoom. It was 9 O3.
• 22:41
  We've had no contact with him. This is also a non assaultive
• 22:45
  offense. Do not see any prior non
• 22:46
  appearances. We will also hold this file for
• 22:49
  a period of 48 hours before any bench warrant is issued.
• 22:54
  Robbie Allen St. 260923 SM and X4669098ST both were set this
• 23:06
  morning for arraignment at 8:30. That was to appear set with the
• 23:10
  Clerk's office on March 26th for today's date.
• 23:14
  Give him permission to call and via Zoom.
• 23:16
  It's now nine O 4. We've had no contact with him.
• 23:20
  Neither of these charges are assault of offenses.
• 23:22
  Do not see any prior non appearances.
• 23:25
  We will also hold both of these files for 48 hours before any
• 23:30
  bench warrant. Is issued.
• 23:32
  And that concludes. Our. 830 Arraignment.
• 23:35
  Document. Well, there you go, everybody.
• 23:38
  Good morning once again, Welcome to TCF LIVE.
• 23:41
  My name is Dan Sole. Your guide through this
• 23:44
  morning's journey through Courtlandia.
• 23:46
  Hope you're all having a good day so far.
• 23:48
  Let's do something different. Let's go to Ohio, but let's go
• 23:52
  to Licking County. This is Judge David Stansbury.
• 23:55
  He does. It's going to be a guilty plea
• 24:00
  today. OK.
• 24:01
  Do you know the receipt of the citation?
• 24:03
  We do, if you wish to have it read.
• 24:04
  No. OK, so Mr. Hernandez, your
• 24:07
  attorneys indicated you wish to enter a plead guilty today, is
• 24:09
  that correct? All right, so a few things we
• 24:11
  need to go over. The first of which is you.
• 24:17
  You are presumed to be not guilty nor and you don't have to
• 24:20
  plead guilty. Nobody can force you to do that.
• 24:22
  Do you understand? You're presumed to be not guilty
• 24:24
  until and unless the state of Ohio could prove your guilt
• 24:26
  beyond a reasonable doubt. Are you aware of that?
• 24:28
  You have a right to a trial and in your case that could be with
• 24:30
  the judge or a jury. Did you know that?
• 24:32
  Did you also know that at the trial you could both cross
• 24:35
  examine your accusers and also subpoena your own witnesses to
• 24:37
  compel their attendance at trial?
• 24:39
  And you wouldn't have to testify at the trial if you didn't want
• 24:41
  to. And the decision not to take the
• 24:42
  witness stand cannot be held against you in any way.
• 24:44
  If you realize that by pleading guilty, however, you admit to
• 24:47
  committing the offense of operating a vehicle while
• 24:49
  impaired, that means you're giving up your presumption of
• 24:52
  innocence. State no longer has any burden
• 24:54
  to prove anything in order for me to find you guilty, and
• 24:56
  you'll waive your right to a trial and the other rights that
• 24:58
  were discussed in that video presentation.
• 25:00
  Do you realize that? And if I accept your plea and
• 25:02
  enter conviction, I'm going to impose sentence upon you, Miss
• 25:05
  Fraser, the citation indicates that there was a prior in 2025.
• 25:10
  I'm assuming that's out of state.
• 25:12
  It is out of state and. It's not actually a prior, it's
• 25:14
  still pending technically. So.
• 25:17
  Technically, it's still a first to my knowledge and I spoke with
• 25:24
  his Texas Attorney and that's what I also.
• 25:32
  Always. Tricky when it's out of state.
• 25:52
  Here we go. So it looks like it's from
• 25:57
  November. He.
• 25:59
  Hasn't even had a. Court.
• 26:01
  I don't. Believe he hasn't had a court or
• 26:03
  anything. From that, according to what I
• 26:06
  have here, it's a felony offence that's because it apparently
• 26:11
  it's basically the Texas equivalent of our child
• 26:13
  endangering based on. But if this is a first offence
• 26:16
  within a 10 year period, Mr. Hernandez, you face up to 180
• 26:19
  days in the jail, up to a three-year suspension of your
• 26:21
  license and a fine not to exceed $1075.
• 26:26
  Do you understand at a minimum, the courts required to find you
• 26:28
  $565 to spend your license for at least one year and sent you
• 26:32
  to serve 6 consecutive days in Lincoln County Jail.
• 26:35
  The alternative to that is I can order that you successfully
• 26:37
  complete a three day Dr. intervention program which would
• 26:40
  count towards three of those six days, but would leave you 3
• 26:43
  actual days to serve. And you are eligible to ask the
• 26:45
  court to grant you what are called unlimited driving
• 26:48
  privileges, which would result in no actual jail time being
• 26:52
  imposed upfront. But if you were to violate the
• 26:53
  rules that go along with unlimited driving privileges,
• 26:56
  the court has absolutely no discretion but to force you to
• 26:58
  serve the entire balance of a suspended sentence.
• 27:00
  So if I gave you a 180 days suspended sentence and you asked
• 27:04
  for unlimited, I suspend the whole thing.
• 27:05
  But if you screw it up, you serve 180 days.
• 27:07
  You realize that. All right.
• 27:09
  Now, have you been subjected any threats, promises, or offers of
• 27:11
  reward to get you to do what you're doing?
• 27:13
  Are you under the influence of any alcohol or illegal drugs?
• 27:15
  No, Sir. You take any medications that
• 27:17
  affect your ability to understand what's going on
• 27:19
  around you? No, Sir.
• 27:20
  Are you satisfied with the advice and representation you've
• 27:22
  received from your counsel? And are you a citizen of the
• 27:24
  United States of America? Yes, Sir.
• 27:26
  Very well. Court flies that the plea and
• 27:27
  waivers have been knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily
• 27:29
  made. I'll accept the plea and enter a
• 27:30
  conviction. It's actually charged with an
• 27:32
  A1A that's. What I was about.
• 27:34
  To say sure. Now, Miss Fraser, what would you
• 27:37
  like to say on behalf of your client?
• 27:39
  Thank your honor. Mr. Hernandez would be willing
• 27:42
  to. If the court would.
• 27:44
  Follow along with the minimums on the A1A.
• 27:47
  He's. Willing to do the jail time
• 27:49
  basically immediately. He's supposed to go back to
• 27:52
  Texas whenever he can. His childhood mother is here to
• 28:00
  help facilitate him getting back to Texas.
• 28:04
  So we just have support to give him time to pay.
• 28:08
  He does not live here. He was here temporarily for a
• 28:11
  job and if the court wants to impose a probationary.
• 28:18
  Period. We would ask.
• 28:19
  For a non reporting. That way he doesn't have to keep
• 28:22
  flying back here. But yeah, he.
• 28:25
  Is willing to serve the jail time basically whenever.
• 28:29
  All right. Thank you, counsel.
• 28:30
  Mr. Hernandez, you have a right to speak.
• 28:31
  Is there anything you'd like to say here on behalf here?
• 28:40
  Is this a work vehicle or your vehicle?
• 28:44
  It's total. Yes, Sir.
• 29:12
  And where exactly in Texas is Hablin?
• 29:14
  Hamblin is about 30 minutes northwest of Hablin, Texas.
• 29:20
  It's the closest big town or West TX.
• 29:24
  All righty. So you're saying it's Fraser
• 29:35
  that it's a core would go along with your request.
• 29:37
  Your twin is prepared to begin servings jail term today.
• 29:40
  Yes Sir, you have your inhalers and stuff correct?
• 29:43
  Yes. And yes, Sir, do
• 29:55
  you need time to pay? All right, very well.
• 30:20
  I'm going to go along with the request of your attorney here,
• 30:23
  Mr. Hernandez, and I'm going to send you to serve three days in
• 30:25
  JLL, impose a $565 fine as well as cost.
• 30:29
  And just so the state gets its pound of flesh, I'm going to
• 30:32
  make it a two year license suspension.
• 30:33
  Now that can be reduced to one. I'm not saying I will, I'm not
• 30:37
  saying I won't. And it could have been 3, but
• 30:40
  given the fact that you have one pending, that's a felony in
• 30:42
  Texas and the test result here, the court finds that that's
• 30:46
  appropriate under the circumstances.
• 30:47
  Now, you'd be eligible to ask the court for limited driving
• 30:50
  privileges. How that's going to intersect
• 30:52
  with what Texas will do, I don't know.
• 30:54
  But our Bureau of Motor Vehicles will notify your Bureau of Motor
• 30:56
  Vehicles of what this action this court has taken.
• 30:59
  So listen, I'm not a clinician. I'm not the substance abuse
• 31:02
  counselor. I've been doing this for 30
• 31:04
  years. And the best definition I ever
• 31:05
  heard was from a guy I represented about 20 years ago.
• 31:08
  And he said, if something causes you a problem, then it's a
• 31:11
  problem. This is a problem and you need
• 31:14
  to deal with it. Because otherwise this is going
• 31:15
  to be the first of very many occasions that you're going to
• 31:17
  find yourself in front of a judge, having to listen to them
• 31:19
  talk. You understand that.
• 31:21
  How old is your child? 4:00 and 5:00.
• 31:23
  OK, so you have a greater responsibility just going out
• 31:25
  and having fun. You will get time to pay and
• 31:28
  you're going to be taken into custody and transported to the
• 31:31
  Justice Center. You'll be released in 72 hours.
• 31:33
  Do you have any other questions any further, Miss Fraser?
• 31:35
  I think I may go to go to bail. Do you want these for that file?
• 31:41
  Yeah. I mean usually if it's, it's not
• 31:42
  really a change of plea pretty much if it's just a guilty plea.
• 31:46
  Thank. You OK, friends?
• 31:47
  Let's move from Ohio up to Michigan.
• 31:50
  We'll say good morning to Judge McNally.
• 31:56
  Anything you'd like to say? No.
• 31:59
  Yeah. I didn't like some of this that
• 32:01
  I read in the board. I'm not saying it was you.
• 32:06
  You were supposed to tell the police officer the Jedi fire
• 32:10
  immediately upon him stopping the car.
• 32:12
  You didn't have ACPL and your buddy here.
• 32:17
  Whoever he is, I didn't need to go into it.
• 32:22
  I don't know if he was in here on another case.
• 32:26
  Wow. In the Bay, Lawful commands
• 32:30
  acting like he was sleeping. Who does this guy think he is?
• 32:33
  Is this the kind of people you're going to hang out with?
• 32:35
  I mean, he's, I'm just asking you if you're going to hang out
• 32:39
  with them. Listen, you're going to hang out
• 32:42
  with guys like this. You're, you're not going to do
• 32:45
  any good, OK? And just tell it.
• 32:47
  You want to hang out with guys like that that think they can
• 32:49
  disrespect police officers. You know, there were guns in the
• 32:54
  area, right? And and he's refusing lawful
• 32:57
  commands. And you hang out with guys like
• 32:59
  this. You, you you'll be back here by,
• 33:02
  I don't know, today is April 15th.
• 33:04
  You'll probably be back in here by the 20th.
• 33:08
  I'm serious. You tell him I said that.
• 33:09
  Was he in front of me on any of this?
• 33:20
  You guys got Glocks for it? Who did you have a Glock for?
• 33:25
  I just bought it for my. Friend bought it for your friend
• 33:29
  from your friend. What are you going to do with a
• 33:33
  Glock? What do you need a Glock for?
• 33:36
  Like. Guns.
• 33:37
  Like guns? I just didn't like this.
• 33:57
  This struck me wrong. I'm reading how disrespectful
• 34:00
  this buddy of yours was and I don't know who he thinks he is.
• 34:03
  He must be running the Pentagon at a mini minimum.
• 34:08
  I'm I. You're not smirking, are you?
• 34:10
  Because I don't find any of this amusing.
• 34:14
  Pardon. No, I'm not.
• 34:15
  Smirking. Are you working now?
• 34:21
  Yeah, I go back to 20. Who's this with you?
• 34:28
  I hope you're paying him rent. Yep.
• 34:30
  I sell, I get in my house. You what?
• 34:33
  I get in my house. You gave him your house?
• 34:37
  Yeah, but he didn't. He didn't put me in lending.
• 34:40
  But the house? I've turned over to him.
• 34:42
  Why? Because I want to set him up in
• 34:44
  life. I've already discussed his
• 34:48
  friends with him. I had great grandparents, too.
• 34:56
  They were phenomenal. Nobody gave me their house,
• 34:58
  though. Me either.
• 35:07
  I'm telling you, I just don't like some of the things I write
• 35:11
  in this report. And you are a young man.
• 35:14
  You're 19 years old. You have a chance to keep this
• 35:17
  off your record. I hope to do.
• 35:18
  I hope you think about what I'm telling you.
• 35:21
  If my father used to tell me if you sleep with the pigs, after a
• 35:24
  while you start to smell like him.
• 35:30
  Got it. I don't know.
• 35:32
  It's probation. You cannot leave the state
• 35:34
  without the consent of the court to violate any law or ordinance
• 35:37
  to change your address, place of employment or home telephone
• 35:41
  number. You must notify probation.
• 35:43
  You have to report as directed. No firearms, no firearms.
• 35:47
  You're not to possess firearms. You're not to possess dangerous
• 35:50
  weapons. Do we understand?
• 35:52
  Yes. You're to obtain and maintain
• 35:54
  employment and provide proof of that.
• 35:57
  You're to attend the Class A Training center Rights and
• 35:59
  responsibilities weapons program.
• 36:02
  Attend that, complete that. I want you to serve three days
• 36:08
  on the court work program. That's $105.35 a day, 200 fines,
• 36:17
  75 costs, 75 victims rights fee $50, justice assessment $400.00
• 36:25
  screening fee 60 for 460. Probation fees are 180 for 640
• 36:30
  plus your court work program fee 7:45.
• 36:35
  If you violate your probation could be revoked.
• 36:38
  You could be incarcerated for 90 days.
• 36:39
  You have 21 days to appeal and 14 days to apply for a court
• 36:43
  appointed lawyer for purposes of appeal.
• 36:45
  I'm going to give you a review hearing date.
• 36:51
  If you're compliant, you come back, I'll be more than happy to
• 36:54
  dismiss your case. OK, we'll give you a review
• 36:57
  hearing date. That'll be on motion the
• 36:58
  prosecutor. So I'll take this under height
• 37:00
  of 2. Heather, what do you have for
• 37:02
  me? So nine months.
• 37:03
  We're looking somewhere around the early part of January, I
• 37:07
  suppose, or late December, so we could.
• 37:13
  Either we have December. 20. 3rd, if we want to do late
• 37:17
  December, that's fine. December 23rd at 8:30, December
• 37:23
  the 23rd of 26th at 8:30. You have 21 days to appeal, 14
• 37:28
  days to apply to the court appointed lawyer for purposes of
• 37:31
  appeal. If you violate your probation
• 37:33
  could be revoked, conviction entered, you'd be subject to a
• 37:35
  90 day jail term. Do you understand that?
• 37:37
  Yes. All right.
• 37:40
  Any questions? No, Sir.
• 37:42
  Can you pay all of this? When he get there all day, we
• 37:45
  propose that he paid $20.00 a month, started moving first.
• 37:49
  Judge, he does have a bond and then he does have an additional
• 37:53
  bond that we transferred over from another case.
• 37:56
  There's a bond because he didn't show up.
• 37:59
  How much is his bonds worth? He has a $300 bond on this case
• 38:04
  and then a 180 bond we transferred from another case
• 38:09
  was that that was 2010% on that one.
• 38:11
  It's 3010% on this, right. So yes, so he has $500.
• 38:17
  That means he has 4:50 to apply and that's all in his name, I
• 38:23
  believe. So let me just double check that
• 38:26
  real quick. Yes, the at least mine is the
• 38:29
  one on this case is yes they are.
• 38:34
  You pay. You pay 450 now and I will
• 38:37
  simply give you until how long to pay the other 295.
• 38:42
  You trade that on May 1st, 295, May 1st.
• 38:46
  May the 1st, all right, you'll meet with probation, you'll get
• 38:50
  your review hearing date. Stay out of here.
• 38:56
  Good luck. Thank you.
• 38:57
  All right, we can meet Beth on that, Christina.

• 40:11
  No, no, the other one, the one that I circled.
• 40:20
  Oh no. Where's the file, Beth?
• 40:23
  Do you have the file on that? I I looked that up, it looks.
• 40:28
  Like it's pending. Like it's not raining today.
• 40:31
  Not a Christina justice. No, that's what John told me.
• 40:34
  That's what I was told. Wait a minute.
• 40:38
  Slow down, everybody. Slow down.
• 40:41
  You go out in the hall. I'll get you a lawyer.
• 40:45
  I need to review hearing file on Courtney.
• 40:48
  I don't know where it is. Do we have the file?
• 40:51
  I can check and see maybe the prosecutor has it?
• 40:54
  No, it's. I don't know why the prosecutor?
• 40:56
  Heather, do you have any clue where that file would be?
• 41:02
  I can look and see if it's back here, but I I don't know.
• 41:06
  She doesn't qualify for a review.
• 41:08
  Oh, she's a probation review here.
• 41:10
  Oh, she's a probation review. OK, let me look and see if she's
• 41:13
  back here. All right, I'll look, John.
• 41:19
  OK. OK, thanks.
• 41:21
  Yeah. Do you want me to check with the
• 41:22
  prosecutor just? Think it's they put it.
• 41:23
  As a deferred judgment, they might have given it.
• 41:27
  Sure. That would be great.
• 41:28
  Ishmael. I'm sorry.
• 41:35
  Al Hussein. Ishmael Al Qawali 268841990 OK,
• 41:40
  I got it. Go ahead.
• 41:41
  Here's the prosecutor review. We got sidetracked on something.
• 41:45
  Hasn't it said she doesn't think she follows that between?
• 41:48

• 42:44
  Talk with her. We'll get a text.
• 42:46

• 42:54
  There we go. Courtney.
• 42:56
  Elaine, just call me. I'm gonna take you.
• 43:01
  Have to stick Maddie a SEC. I can't remember the last name
• 43:04
  how I pronounced it. 225R72436-O.
• 43:08
  Good morning, counsel you your appearance.
• 43:10
  Good morning. You're looking Bolsky.
• 43:11
  If you're going to be half Corey Matazzic, Matazic Matazzic.
• 43:16
  Matazzic. Matazzic.
• 43:18
  I'm sorry as as fellow Polish person is, it's.
• 43:25
  Like my grandpa? Yeah.
• 43:26
  So I said it like your grandpa. He does, but I think.
• 43:29
  Matazic, Matazic. All right.
• 43:33
  Your name. All right.
• 43:35
  So you're here for a review. How's she doing?
• 43:39
  Courtney is. Doing great on the program, I
• 43:40
  know. This morning at Status Review,
• 43:42
  we briefly touched on that she had missed her probation.
• 43:45
  Visit with me last week. But she was within 10 or 15
• 43:49
  minutes late. I wasn't able to meet with her
• 43:51
  due to other visits, but she did all the right things.
• 43:54
  She communicated. With me in the meantime.
• 43:56
  She. Completed her court work program
• 43:58
  for community service or VIP's. Been complete since February,
• 44:03
  but at this point her probation is really revolving around
• 44:06
  treatment, her continued. 12 steps and.
• 44:09
  Testing. She is slated to move to phase
• 44:12
  two next status review on April 29th.
• 44:15
  Your Honor. And I don't know.
• 44:17
  Much else I can add to that. She's back to work.
• 44:20
  She took the beginning of her program off from work so that
• 44:23
  she could accomplish those those items.
• 44:25
  So I do have a full compliance option for the record.
• 44:27
  So I I ordered a year jail term with credit for one day and said
• 44:31
  she was to serve 60 days beginning today that I could
• 44:34
  consider not requiring her to serve it after a review hearing.
• 44:38
  What do you want to say, Mr. Volsky?
• 44:40
  Well, first and foremost, your Honor, most importantly, my
• 44:43
  client is 71 seller. I know that she was a gift here.
• 44:46
  She she's taken. Fully she's remained sober, she
• 44:52
  enjoys the program, she's done everything.
• 44:54
  This works. We fired her to do.
• 44:58
  I know that. As Miss Wilde had stated, she
• 45:01
  she finished community service 40 hours.
• 45:03
  She did the. Six day work program.
• 45:06
  She signed up for the harms weekend.
• 45:08
  That's the first week of May. She is not a payment plan.
• 45:11
  She's made about half, excuse me, 1/3 of what's been old.
• 45:17
  Obviously, Miss Louds stated she took some time off to focus on
• 45:21
  herself and get, you know, for sobriety under control.
• 45:24
  And she has some pretty serious health issues which requires
• 45:27
  surgery. So she's, she's progressing well
• 45:30
  in that area as well. She does.
• 45:34
  She's 34 years old. She resides in Farmington.
• 45:37
  She's here with her mother today.
• 45:38
  Most importantly, not a no violation.
• 45:41
  She is terrified of doing the jail time and she's terrified of
• 45:43
  Claude Remix. So it's a great.
• 45:45
  Program and she enjoys and I'll just ask you to for a go get rid
• 45:50
  of that jail time and just flower to continue this program
• 45:54
  all right anything you want to say all right so listen I mean
• 45:59
  all statistics tell me that you know somebody's doing this well,
• 46:04
  it's it's counterproductive to put somebody in jail and that
• 46:08
  was the that was a concern but I want I want to caution you so
• 46:11
  I'm not going to require you to serve those 60 days now I'm
• 46:13
  going to suspend until the end them to caution.
• 46:18
  Don't let your guard down. You're looking at the whole year
• 46:21
  here and I will give you the whole year if you if you don't
• 46:24
  comply you understand you have to get through the program.
• 46:28
  You have to stay straight. You have to keep doing this.
• 46:30
  This is you're just on the beginning of this, so stay with
• 46:35
  it. OK.
• 46:37
  All right. That's what I'll do.
• 46:38
  Thank you very much. Have a good day.
• 46:40
  Keep doing what you're doing. Thank you.
• 46:42

• 51:07
  So, OK, Officer, any objection to a personal bond?
• 51:14
  No, Your Honor. Can you spell out for me where
• 51:18
  you want him to go to get printed?
• 51:23
  I don't have a preference. I don't know if brownstone has
• 51:27
  the capabilities to fingerprint, I'm sorry.
• 51:31
  I don't know. Who's got the capabilities down
• 51:33
  in that District 2 fingerprint? Heather, have we been sending
• 51:40
  any DNR cases to any specific department?
• 51:45
  Not that I know of, Judge. I have no preference, Your
• 51:53
  Honor. Whatever is easiest for you or
• 51:57
  him to decide. Well is I just don't want to be
• 52:01
  sending people over. I'll tell you what I'd like you
• 52:06
  to do if you would. Would you call Woodhaven Heather
• 52:11
  and ask them if they have any objection to me sending that's
• 52:14
  this over on ADNR case and asking them to print and
• 52:17
  photograph? I don't know where else I would
• 52:20
  send them. OK, Judge, If they haven't, If
• 52:23
  they haven't, you know, if they don't want me to do that, then
• 52:26
  they can tell you when I'll consider something else.
• 52:29
  OK, so here's what I'm going to do.
• 52:31
  I'm going to give you a So would you call while I'm giving them
• 52:34
  as bond conditions, please? I'm going to give you a $5000
• 52:37
  personal bond. You cannot leave the state
• 52:40

• 52:42
  You cannot violate any more ordinance.
• 52:44
  Must appear in court as directed.
• 52:46
  No contact with prosecution witnesses.
• 52:49
  You cannot possess firearms or dangerous weapons.
• 52:52
  They have to be surrendered to the DNR if you have any.
• 52:55
  Do you understand that? Yes, you got it.
• 52:57
  Also, I'm going to have you go get printed and photographed
• 53:00
  today. I'm filling out the order.
• 53:05
  Your honor, just to. Clarify they have to be given to
• 53:07
  the DNR or. Given to a family.
• 53:09
  Member where he would not have access, I would.
• 53:12
  You guys will take possession of those, will you not, Officer
• 53:14
  Young? We'd have to log them into
• 53:16
  evidence. I'd be OK if he.
• 53:19
  Wanted to hand them over to family.
• 53:21
  I have no issue with that. All right, that's good enough.
• 53:24
  So you can't possess them. You can turn them over to
• 53:27
  somebody else. Just make sure they're legally
• 53:29
  capable of having those firearms in their possession before we do
• 53:33
  that. And I'm going to have you go get
• 53:36
  fingerprinted and photographed, I'm going to say, by 1:00 PM
• 53:40
  today. I'm going to say Woodhaven.
• 53:44
  But Heather, if Woodhaven says no, no problem, we'll send him
• 53:48
  somewhere else. I'll figure that out.
• 53:51
  You'll have to come back down here if Woodhaven doesn't want
• 53:55
  to do it. And I can understand what you
• 53:56
  think. At any rate, that's what we'll
• 53:59
  do by 1:00 PM today. OK, so you can now in the hall
• 54:03
  get your court dates, which I already stated you're going to
• 54:06
  have to go in front of Judge Hesson on April 28th.

• 1:00:39
  don't know if this was your case or not.
• 1:00:40
  I frankly don't remember. It was.
• 1:00:41
  And nothing else, Your Honor, Mr. Mitchell, nothing of the
• 1:00:45
  state, Your Honor. OK, so there's a there's a state
• 1:00:48
  have any objection to reflecting that the sentence has been
• 1:00:50
  completed? OK.
• 1:00:52
  So Mr. Jenkins, congratulations. We're going to show that that
• 1:00:55
  this you completing that sentence, that inpatient program
• 1:00:58
  has totally served your completed your sentence.
• 1:01:01
  Do y'all have a copy of that certificate of completion in the
• 1:01:05
  court file? We need to get a copy of that.
• 1:01:07
  Can you scan that here? What's the best way to get a
• 1:01:09
  copy of it? Probably the best way is to be
• 1:01:13
  treated if you could take it on your way out, if you'll take it
• 1:01:16
  by the probation office, keep your original, let them make a
• 1:01:19
  copy and give you back your original.
• 1:01:21
  We'll then take that copy and we'll file it in the court file.
• 1:01:23
  It's your good. So I'll take care of that.
• 1:01:24
  You have any questions? Wish you the best, Mr. Jenkins.
• 1:01:27
  Thank you. Yes, Sir.
• 1:01:28
  Thank you. Barbara, thank you for the $10
• 1:01:31
  donation over at courtroomfiles.com labeled
• 1:01:34
  coffee. Thank you very much.
• 1:01:36
  We'll, we'll make that happen after the show.
• 1:01:38
  Appreciate it. Just put a, can you put the
• 1:01:44
  clerk's note in there? What happened today?
• 1:01:47
  That should be sufficient here. All right.
• 1:01:49
  We do have one person that has friends or family here, so we'll
• 1:01:51
  take that case next. That's Jayden Durant and Mr. A
• 1:02:02
  Corporal. I got his name spelled a couple
• 1:02:03
  different ways. The first appearance paperwork
• 1:02:07
  does not have AY in it, and the jail sheet does not have AY, but
• 1:02:13
  the first appearance list does have AY.
• 1:02:15
  Mr. Durant, does your first name have AY in it?
• 1:02:18
  No, Sir, I should. Have AY we missed you, Sir.
• 1:02:21
  No problem. So, Mr. Durant, we just want to
• 1:02:23
  make sure all the paperwork matches.
• 1:02:25
  Mr. Durant, you're here in case 26-189.
• 1:02:27
  MMM. You were first.
• 1:02:29
  Appeared for the offense of battery.
• 1:02:30
  I think your mother was the alleged victim.
• 1:02:32
  I believe she's here this morning and she wants to be
• 1:02:35
  heard on that you were set up on.
• 1:02:37
  So ma'am, come on up if you will.
• 1:02:38
  So make sure he can hear you. We'll be glad to listen to
• 1:02:43
  whatever you want to tell us. So what I'm going to do, ma'am,
• 1:02:46
  is is get your name and place you Underoath.
• 1:02:48
  What's your name, ma'am? Amy.
• 1:02:49
  Pover. Miss Pover, let me get you to
• 1:02:51
  raise your right hand. Do you saw me swear or affirm
• 1:02:52
  the testimony about giving this case be the truth, the whole
• 1:02:54
  truth and nothing but truth to help you guys?
• 1:02:56
  Yes, thank you. So, Mr. McDaniel, do you want to
• 1:02:58
  ask her specific questions? Just want me to hear from her.
• 1:03:00
  Mr. McDaniel sent us an e-mail yesterday saying that you wanted
• 1:03:03
  to be heard, so we're glad to listen.
• 1:03:04
  Ma'am. Me.
• 1:03:05
  Me and my family were new to Florida and with me being the
• 1:03:09
  victim of of that incident, Jaden doesn't really have
• 1:03:14
  somewhere else that he could go other than my home.
• 1:03:16
  So I want him to be able to have contact with me so that he can
• 1:03:22
  come back home, so that he can do whatever the court systems
• 1:03:26
  are think that he he needs to do.
• 1:03:28
  OK, couple of questions. Yeah.
• 1:03:30
  New to the? Areas and when we've been here
• 1:03:33
  probably for about four years now.
• 1:03:35
  He came when when he was 15. He doesn't have a lot of
• 1:03:39
  friends. He works at the Family Dollar
• 1:03:40
  just across the street from our house.
• 1:03:42
  OK. Yeah.
• 1:03:44
  So he has two arrests since he's been here.
• 1:03:47
  Yeah. Both of them on family members,
• 1:03:49
  both of them battery cases. In both cases, I believe he
• 1:03:51
  contact law enforcement. Law enforcement investigated and
• 1:03:54
  chose to arrest him. In both cases, the alcohol was
• 1:03:58
  involved in the first case, according to the complaint.
• 1:04:01
  This current complaint doesn't mention alcohol.
• 1:04:02
  So my question is, was there alcohol involved in this case
• 1:04:05
  that I'm aware of? No, no indication alcohol was
• 1:04:07
  involved. Are you in fear of him?
• 1:04:09
  No, no, I, I don't fear my son. The, the, the, the reason why it
• 1:04:14
  was called was because I was taking the door off so he
• 1:04:16
  wouldn't break the door and that he called the police.
• 1:04:19
  So if alcohol wasn't involved in this case, what 'cause what
• 1:04:22
  keeps causing these reoccurring issues where law enforcement's
• 1:04:26
  called that I don't, I don't have, I don't have medical
• 1:04:30
  insurance for him. He's my pole, so he should.
• 1:04:35
  He he needs. There's some medical, sorry,
• 1:04:38
  some medication that might help, but he doesn't have that.
• 1:04:41
  But he doesn't have access to it.
• 1:04:42
  So as his mom, I understand when he's having a bad day.
• 1:04:46
  At that day I went and I mowed the lawn trying to not have a
• 1:04:49
  confrontation. Yeah, so.
• 1:04:54
  Are there other ways you can get the medication without?
• 1:04:58
  He's going to have to. Try to get some Medicaid.
• 1:05:00
  I can't. I can't with my job.
• 1:05:04
  I don't. It's not provided so I would
• 1:05:06
  have to pay $1100 a month just for insurance.
• 1:05:12
  I can't too. Do you know the medication he
• 1:05:14
  needs? Has the doctor said that when we
• 1:05:17
  were in Utah and when we first got here, he was on medications
• 1:05:21
  that were helping You said medications, plural.
• 1:05:24
  More than one. Yeah.
• 1:05:25
  Yeah. He, he had a an ADHD medication
• 1:05:28
  and then a medication for his bipolar.
• 1:05:33
  When you're bipolar, you start to feel better.
• 1:05:36
  You think you're fine, You don't have to take the medication
• 1:05:38
  anymore. And so I think now as he's
• 1:05:42
  grown, he's understanding that he's going to have to do those
• 1:05:45
  things. So steps towards being able, him
• 1:05:48
  being able to do that I think would be beneficial.
• 1:05:52
  But I don't know how. Miss Pulver, prior to the arrest
• 1:05:57
  here, Had he ever been arrested or charged with a crime before
• 1:06:00
  the 1st arrest here? That.
• 1:06:01
  Was the one against the sister or something with your daughter
• 1:06:04
  barely turned 18 and that one was dismissed after several
• 1:06:07
  weeks, Few weeks. OK.
• 1:06:09
  I'm going to see if the attorneys have any additional
• 1:06:11
  questions for you. Mr. Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Bell, we
• 1:06:18
  spoke to her beforehand. So I think all the answers that
• 1:06:21
  we needed were given to us. As it pertains to the no
• 1:06:26
  contact, which I think is going to be your next question.
• 1:06:28
  Your Honor, we have no objection to amending the contact
• 1:06:33
  provision to no violent contact with him.
• 1:06:38
  We just also stressed that he understand how important no
• 1:06:43
  violent contact means if something like this happens
• 1:06:45
  again, he can be arrested and held without bond in this case.
• 1:06:50
  But we have no objection to no violent contact between the two
• 1:06:54
  parties, OK. Mr. McDaniel.
• 1:06:57
  I don't have any. Questions, Your Honor.
• 1:06:58
  I mean I. I told Mr. Durant this
• 1:07:00
  yesterday. He needs to quit calling the
• 1:07:01
  police. I mean, it's, it's not that he
• 1:07:02
  just called twice. He's called multiple times.
• 1:07:05
  And I, I mean, that's what's going to happen when you
• 1:07:07
  steadily call police for non emergencies.
• 1:07:11
  You know that's. My, what I've seen in the past,
• 1:07:13
  at least. Mr. Durant, do you have any any
• 1:07:16
  questions? Don't talk about your charge,
• 1:07:17
  but you understand what's going on.
• 1:07:19
  Do you have any questions about any of this or anything you want
• 1:07:20
  to tell me? No, Sir.
• 1:07:23
  OK, So I don't, I don't have a problem with the conditional
• 1:07:29
  release under these circumstances.
• 1:07:30
  Seems like both sides are are in agreement, but it's just going
• 1:07:33
  to add more financial got a job, he's got a job.
• 1:07:38
  OK, So the Super big cost of visional conditional is $30.00 a
• 1:07:41
  month. So it's it's minimal.
• 1:07:43
  It's probably the lowest in maybe the lowest in the state.
• 1:07:47
  It's been the same. I haven't raised.
• 1:07:48
  It's been the same since I've been here 13 years.
• 1:07:52
  So Mr. Durant, what I'm going to do is let you pick between the
• 1:07:54
  current bond you have set and also going to offer you a
• 1:07:56
  conditional lease based upon what's happened here today.
• 1:07:59
  If you accept the conditional release, you would have the
• 1:08:01
  standard conditions of release. I don't know that anybody
• 1:08:03
  explain that to you. I may have before.
• 1:08:05
  I did explain it to you because I told you you may be a
• 1:08:08
  conditional lease candidate, but only if you had a place to live.
• 1:08:10
  So if you accept the conditional release, you'll have the
• 1:08:12
  standard conditions of release. Instead of no contact with your
• 1:08:15
  mother, you'll have a condition of no violent contact with your
• 1:08:18
  mother. You'll have a condition take
• 1:08:20
  medications as directed by a physician.
• 1:08:22
  So that means if a physician prescribes some that he can and
• 1:08:26
  you can get it worked out, he has to take them.
• 1:08:28
  But otherwise, you know, can't make him pay for something he
• 1:08:32
  doesn't have the money to pay for.
• 1:08:34
  And so, Mr. Durant, you'll get out of jail today if you accept
• 1:08:37
  those terms and have no violent contact with your mother.
• 1:08:39
  Is that what you want to do, Mr. Durant?
• 1:08:42
  Yes, Sir. Mr. Durant, has the jail already
• 1:08:45
  given him a notice for his court date.
• 1:08:47
  You've already got a notice for your court date.
• 1:08:49
  That court date will not change. It'll be the same notice you
• 1:08:51
  have. What's going to happen next,
• 1:08:53
  ma'am, is they're going to let him get dressed.
• 1:08:55
  Then they'll bring him to the courthouse because that's where
• 1:08:57
  the conditional lease office is at.
• 1:08:59
  When he gets here, he'll meet with Mr. Goodson or Mr. Ham, one
• 1:09:01
  of our conditional lease officers.
• 1:09:02
  They'll go over the conditional lease with him.
• 1:09:05
  They'll explain it to him. They'll give him a copy of all
• 1:09:07
  the rules in writing. They'll give him a chance to ask
• 1:09:09
  any questions he has, and then he'll be free to go.
• 1:09:12
  That's usually about 1/2 hour, maybe 45 minutes from now.
• 1:09:15
  He'll be downstairs inside the conditional lease office, which
• 1:09:19
  is the same as the county probation office in the judge's
• 1:09:22
  office where you were this morning.
• 1:09:23
  Yeah. Do you have any questions,
• 1:09:25
  Richard Ran. Any questions?
• 1:09:27
  No, Sir. We'll see you on your court date
• 1:09:29
  and we'll see where it goes from there.
• 1:09:30
  OK. OK.
• 1:09:31
  Thank you. Thank you for coming.
• 1:09:32
  Ma'am. Sir, are you here for a first
• 1:09:35
  appearance case in the back? What case is that?
• 1:09:40
  I think that's OK for a pretrial.
• 1:09:42
  OK. We're just.
• 1:09:43
  I just want to make sure you weren't here for a first
• 1:09:44
  appearance case the next first. Appearance.
• 1:09:46
  Case we have is Elizabeth. Actually we have several
• 1:09:49
  violation of state probation. So let me see, Elizabeth Muccio,
• 1:09:54
  Nathan Kroger, Charles Ford, June Brentfield Massey.
• 1:10:00
  Susie, apologize, I mispronounced any of those or
• 1:10:04
  some of those. Elizabeth Muccio, raise your
• 1:10:09
  hand, please. OK, we've got Miss Muccio.

  There's Brentsfield there on my left and we've got, is it Mossy?
• 1:10:24
  Susy, is that correct? Macy?
• 1:10:28
  OK, I'm seeing you at the same time because your cases are
• 1:10:30
  identical for first appearance purposes and all of your cases,
• 1:10:33
  you have a no bond, violation of state probation or violation of
• 1:10:37
  supervision warrant in each case.
• 1:10:39
  There's no bond in each case. It's been signed by the Circuit
• 1:10:41
  Judge in each case. I'm arraigning you this morning,
• 1:10:44
  which means I'm making you aware of what your charge is, which I
• 1:10:46
  just did. The second thing I'm going to do
• 1:10:48
  is I'm going to appoint each of you a lawyer in your violation
• 1:10:50
  of probation case if you're asking for one.
• 1:10:53
  And then after I do that, we'll see if you have any questions.
• 1:10:55
  Miss Muccio, would you like to have an attorney appointed
• 1:10:57
  represent you? Yes, please.
• 1:11:00
  Great. Mr. Kroger, same question.

• 1:11:10
  Yes, Sir. All right, Miss.
• 1:11:12

  All right. I'm appointing the Public
• 1:11:17
  Defender's Office of the 14th Circuit represent each of you.
• 1:11:20
  I listen to Mr. McDaniel, and then I'm going to see if any of
• 1:11:22
  you have any questions. Mr. McDaniel.
• 1:11:24
  You're going to plead if not. Guilty, as I said on the May 7th
• 1:11:27
  arraignment pretrial docket and I've asked them all they'll be
• 1:11:29
  attorneyed and visit them prior. To that hearing.
• 1:11:31

  Missus, any questions? No, Sir.
• 1:11:59
  All right, ma'am, you'll have a good day.
• 1:12:02
  That brings us to John Winchester.
• 1:12:11
  Whoever put Mr. Winchester's name in the system on the
• 1:12:14
  booking sheet misspelled his last name, it appears, and left
• 1:12:17
  off the T. So everything else has AT in it.
• 1:12:22
  Mr. Winchester, good morning. You're here because you've been
• 1:12:24
  accused of 1 count of petty theft of less than $750.
• 1:12:27
  Mr. Winchester, there is probable cause for the charge
• 1:12:30
  and I'm appointing the public attorney's office to represent
• 1:12:32
  you. Please listen to Mr. McDaniel,
• 1:12:33
  your attorney, and we'll see where we go.
• 1:12:35
  Mr. McDaniel. We just asked.
• 1:12:39
  You know, I like Mr. Winchester's mostly concerned
• 1:12:42
  about some dolls he has it is campsite and try to try to get
• 1:12:46
  out and go do something with his dolls.
• 1:12:48
  And so Mr. Thank you. Mr. Mitchell, Your Honor, we'll
• 1:12:53
  just be asking for a reasonable bonus contact with the victims.
• 1:12:56
  OK, Mr. Winchester, I did look at your criminal history.
• 1:12:59
  I saw that you were sentenced to jail within the last year or so.
• 1:13:03
  I'm going to set your bonnet. You're requesting a cash bond or
• 1:13:07
  not. No objection to a cash bond, no
• 1:13:10
  objection to a cash bond, $250 cash only is your bond.
• 1:13:13
  You have a condition of no contact with alleged victim at
• 1:13:16
  all. The jail's going to give you a
• 1:13:17
  notice for your court date, Mr. Winchester, and that will be.
• 1:13:22
  April 27th. April 27th at 9:00 AM will be
• 1:13:26
  the notice they give you. That's when you'll be in court.
• 1:13:28
  You got a $250 cash bond. As soon as that bond is posted,
• 1:13:30
  you'll be released. You do get to use the phone at
• 1:13:33
  the first appearance so you can if you post the bond.
• 1:13:35
  You can take care of the animals yourself.
• 1:13:36
  If you can't post the bond, you can contact friends or family
• 1:13:39
  for whatever purpose to let them know the bonds set and and give
• 1:13:43
  them some instructions. Mr. Winchester, do you have any
• 1:13:45
  questions? No, Sir.
• 1:13:47
  Have a good day, Sir. I believe the next case is going
• 1:13:52
  to be Dan, Justin, Danzy. Mr. Danzy.
• 1:14:02
  Good morning, Mr. Danzy. You're here because you've been
• 1:14:04
  accused of 1 count of aggravated child abuse.
• 1:14:06
  Mr. Danzy. I'd rather complaint.
• 1:14:09
  It's a lengthy complaint. In this case, I think it's about
• 1:14:13
  6 pages long. The narrative is 123.
• 1:14:20
  Well, it's 4 pages. I had to look up a couple of
• 1:14:25
  words in there that I honestly did not know what they meant,
• 1:14:29
  but I have read the complaint. There is probable cause and
• 1:14:31
  we'll listen to the attorneys, Mr. Danzy, and then we'll see
• 1:14:35
  where we go with bond. Mr. McDaniel, anything.
• 1:14:37
  Yeah, I thought the plan was pretty thorough, so we just
• 1:14:39
  asked for a reasonable bond. Mr. Mitchell?
• 1:14:43
  Mr. Bell? Yes, Your Honor, the state and
• 1:14:48
  we have let the defense know we have been provided with
• 1:14:51
  photographs from JCSO that the court can also review if they
• 1:14:54
  wish, given the nature of. Of.
• 1:14:57
  The. Photographs and the complaint we
• 1:15:00
  do feel that there's a substantial probable cause for
• 1:15:04
  the two elements of aggravated child abuse that the defendant
• 1:15:07
  maliciously punished the the victim and that the victim was
• 1:15:11
  under the age of 18. So we'd be requesting a high
• 1:15:14
  bond The the the complaint, as lengthy as it is, does not
• 1:15:21
  include photographs or the photographs, something the state
• 1:15:24
  wants me to be able to see and consider for bond purposes.
• 1:15:27
  Yes, Your Honor. OK, then Mr. McDaniel has the
• 1:15:29
  right to see those two. I've seen them.
• 1:15:30
  It's just. OK.
• 1:15:31
  What it described in the complaint is nothing awesome.
• 1:15:35
  Yeah, 40. 7. While I'm looking at these I
• 1:15:38
  have read the criminal history and there's there's multiple
• 1:15:41
  prior arrests although not not anything of violence like this.
• 1:15:45
  It's mostly driving offenses and similar stuff.
• 1:15:49
  No, no, I'm not. I'm not a I'm not a violent
• 1:15:51
  person. I was asked.
• 1:15:56
  I was asked to punch the child. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:15:57
  I mean, I love this weapon. I'm sorry.
• 1:16:00
  Mr. Danzy. Mr. Danzy.
• 1:16:02
  I apologize. Yeah, those are pretty bad.
• 1:16:07
  Those are really bad. I'm.
• 1:16:12
  Here. Comply with any order you honor.
• 1:16:14
  I think one thing I saw was a couple of driving offenses and
• 1:16:17
  and maybe something that was dismissed as a juvenile.
• 1:16:20
  But I mean it was not much nothing to violence.
• 1:16:22
  I recall seeing this allegedly was his.
• 1:16:26
  Not even his stepchild, it was his girlfriend's child.
• 1:16:30
  I've been there. I've been there six years,
• 1:16:32
  Joanna. OK, I've been girlfriend.
• 1:16:35
  That's all right. I understand.
• 1:16:36
  OK, the the pictures do do give context to the allegations.
• 1:16:44
  Again, they're just allegations. I'm looking through the criminal
• 1:16:46
  history and I don't couple of Alabama theft, but that's ten
• 1:16:51
  years ago, 10 plus years ago and then everything else special by
• 1:16:54
  Daniels driving offenses. But I believe I'm almost
• 1:16:57
  positive aggravated child abuse is a first degree felony because
• 1:17:01
  we had that issue come up recently.
• 1:17:03
  So child abuse is a third degree felony, aggravated child abuse
• 1:17:06
  jumps to a first degree felony. Is that right, Mr. Bell?
• 1:17:09
  I believe so. Yes, Sir.
• 1:17:10
  Yeah, it does. I looked at it recently because
• 1:17:12
  I've just learned that within the last three weeks.
• 1:17:16
  Mr. Mr. Danza, given those photographs, and I know you
• 1:17:18
  don't have much of A history, the problem is the photographs
• 1:17:21
  are pretty horrible. So your bonds set at $50,000
• 1:17:23
  cash or surety, you have a condition of no contact with
• 1:17:26
  alleged victim at all? Is the state requesting
• 1:17:28
  additional contact of no unsupervised contact with other
• 1:17:32
  minors? The one with the alleged victim
• 1:17:35
  is is kind of a no brainer. What about other minors?
• 1:17:38
  I'm concerned about cause the complaint implies maybe other
• 1:17:41
  children. Just to say let me finish Mr.
• 1:17:42
  Danzy complaint imposer. Maybe other children.
• 1:17:45
  I think it maybe other children belong to the same woman.
• 1:17:47
  Mother's got two other. Kids.
• 1:17:49
  Yeah, I think, I don't know if he has children or not now, but
• 1:17:52
  I'm concerned about other children and her letting him
• 1:17:54
  discipline him, other children. So what's the state's position
• 1:17:57
  on that? We would actually request no
• 1:17:59
  unsupervised contact with any other minor since they're from
• 1:18:03
  the information I just gathered from the street.
• 1:18:04
  Now, you know, I believe that the victim has two siblings.
• 1:18:08
  There may be other things you want me to hear on that.
• 1:18:10
  He may have his own children that are outside of that
• 1:18:12
  relationship, but I need to know.
• 1:18:15
  I'm, I'm not aware of that young.
• 1:18:17
  I mean, Mr. Danza, you don't have any kids, do you?
• 1:18:20
  He's 18. Yeah, they're grown.
• 1:18:23
  I mean, I, you know. We we've just asked.
• 1:18:26
  You know, I mean, obviously this is.
• 1:18:27
  A case that. I'd, I'd not said it's not
• 1:18:29
  serious, but I, I think Azar is going to end up being a third
• 1:18:32
  degree felony case when it's all said and done.
• 1:18:34
  We just have to take those things into consideration, Your
• 1:18:36
  Honor. I.
• 1:18:37
  Think there's a good chance you're right?
• 1:18:39
  I I mean. I think with his history there's
• 1:18:41
  a good chance you're right. I think there's probable cause
• 1:18:43
  for first degree. I'm not, but I think it fits
• 1:18:45
  enough. Or probable cause for malicious.
• 1:18:47
  But. The injuries are the above the
• 1:18:51
  knee, lower back and some wrap around on the groin area, but
• 1:18:56
  there's not like there's injuries on his facial area.
• 1:18:58
  He didn't beat him over the shoulders and, and, and I think
• 1:19:00
  there's a factor. The state has to figure out what
• 1:19:02
  they want to do with it, so. You're.
• 1:19:03
  Going to have a condition no contact with alleged victim and
• 1:19:05
  you can have a condition no unsupervised contact with other
• 1:19:08
  minors so you can have contact with other minors as long as
• 1:19:11
  supervised. You can have no contact with
• 1:19:13
  alleged victim Richard Danzy. They're going to also give you a
• 1:19:15
  notice for your court date. The jail staff will.
• 1:19:17
  Your court date will be May 5th at 8:30, Mr. Danzy.
• 1:19:22
  And you will get to use the phone in a few minutes, Sir, to
• 1:19:24
  post that bond or try to post the bond.
• 1:19:26
  Mr. Danzy, you have any questions?
• 1:19:30
  Is there a way I can appeal for a for a cheaper bond?
• 1:19:32
  You certainly can ask for a bond reduction, but it's almost, it's
• 1:19:36
  very difficult, almost impossible to do that without an
• 1:19:38
  attorney first because only way the bonds can be lowered is if
• 1:19:40
  there's additional circumstances or facts brought to either my
• 1:19:43
  attention or the judge's attention in your case, which
• 1:19:47
  will probably be Judge Garcia. So what typically happens is if
• 1:19:50
  you're not able to post the bond, once you get an attorney
• 1:19:52
  involved, you can talk to the attorney in more detail and the
• 1:19:55
  attorney can ask for a lower bond and that judge will make
• 1:19:58
  that decision. Usually it'll go before a
• 1:19:59
  different judge because 1 judge has already looked at it and set
• 1:20:02
  a bond. So most the theory is your
• 1:20:05
  chances may be better with a different judge that, that maybe
• 1:20:07
  you think slightly differently, She may not.
• 1:20:09
  That'll be that'll be her call. OK.
• 1:20:12
  Yes, Sir. All right.
• 1:20:13
  Have a good day, Sir. Thank you.
• 1:20:15
  We have Willie Corbin next. Mr. Corbin, this morning.
• 1:20:24

• 1:21:15
  your plea of no contest to the charge of possession of drug
• 1:21:18
  paraphernalia in case 26-167. MMM.
• 1:21:22

  Your Honor. Alexander behalf of the people,

  not the people who live. Any potential conflict?
• 1:22:49
  Between this honorable court in the Office of Public Defender,
• 1:22:51
  while the people don't believe such a conflict to exist, people
• 1:22:54
  make this waiver an avoidance. Of all doubt.

  Back of where? Oh, OK, being home.
• 1:23:56
  That's going to be a minute. Welcome Waiver.
• 1:24:13
  The Office of the Public Defender does not believe that a
• 1:24:15
  conflict exists between this honorable court and the Office
• 1:24:18
  of the Public Defender. But if one were to arise, we
• 1:24:21
  would waive any such claim that a conflict exists.
• 1:24:26
  Court for its private office does not believe there's
• 1:24:28
  conflict that in the Michigan court rules or the cases decided
• 1:24:31
  they're under Senate conflict does exist.

  State your name, please, ma'am, Key reader Bryant.
• 1:35:38
  Thank you. Thank you, Judge.
• 1:35:40
  It looks like at this time we have not yet reached a
• 1:35:42
  resolution. I don't think she's been a OK.
• 1:35:48
  Well, no, she has. It's just not on that sheet.
• 1:35:51
  OK. OK.
• 1:35:54
  Yeah, she's been arranged. Oh, sorry.
• 1:35:55
  Go ahead. So it looks like we are still
• 1:35:58
  looking into the matter and negotiating with the prosecutor
• 1:36:01
  because we'll be asking for an adjournment.

  You know, it doesn't matter. May 6th, 2026 9:00 AM.

• 1:36:22
  Texas Judge Stevens Oh boy, same crime.
• 1:36:38
  Must be 4 different children. I didn't initially run out of
• 1:36:42
  whatever. Yet I'm not sure.
• 1:36:44
  Yeah, yeah. 25 CR 549550551 and 552 are all the same type of
• 1:36:56
  charges, state jail felonies for abandoning or endangering a
• 1:37:00
  child, and that's what it is. There were four children.
• 1:37:06
  Yes. Judge, that's correct.
• 1:37:20
  Allegedly left alone at a hotel, busy
• 1:37:35
  1296 and four years of age. Hmm.
• 1:38:58
  You've got a copy of this, right, John?
• 1:39:00
  He's reading it right now. I'm reading it right now.
• 1:39:02
  Yeah. So I'm doing it right now.
• 1:39:03
  And. And the state is.
• 1:39:05
  The defense, the defendant admits and says it was real
• 1:39:09
  stupid for her to leave her children alone.
• 1:39:13
  Accurate. It's foolish.
• 1:39:14
  It's the responsible. She left the hotel around 8:00
• 1:39:20
  AM to attend a basketball game for her son in Houston and left
• 1:39:23
  her old children in the hotel room that day without
• 1:39:28
  supervision. You.
• 1:39:34
  She said she would send money on cash app so the children could
• 1:39:37
  get food. Can't help but cringe on this
• 1:39:44
  one. What?
• 1:39:52
  Is there a criminal history at all here for this lady?
• 1:39:54
  I don't believe so, Judge. Children younger than 15 have to
• 1:40:12
  have supervision. That's just the law.
• 1:40:15
  And here this is wasn't done apparently according to the four
• 1:40:23
  indictments here. I mean, the children ranged from
• 1:40:28
  4 to 12 years of age and all of them were under 15 and should
• 1:40:35
  have been supervised. OK, this is a year old.
• 1:40:47
  What are we going to do? Ronnie?
• 1:40:49
  I just now got all the cases, the initial appearance.
• 1:40:51
  I'm not sure why it's taking this all against the.
• 1:40:53
  Court. But.
• 1:40:54
  I need to go to Discovery and review it with my clients and
• 1:40:57
  I'm in about four weeks, 3 or 4 weeks, whatever.
• 1:41:01
  You call it launch. I can you can make an.
• 1:41:03
  Announcement the next where where she was just arrested in
• 1:41:10
  March of this year. So that's why I have to where is
• 1:41:14
  your residence? You know, it's a big state.
• 1:41:20
  You're going to give me any more hints than that?
• 1:41:23
  This is it's terrible. Where?
• 1:41:29
  Ma'am? Sulphur.
• 1:41:32
  What's your address? Ma'am Sulphur, LA is a big city.
• 1:41:37
  Thank you. Go ahead.
• 1:41:39
  Start over. Start over. 20 Fowler.
• 1:41:42
  Fowler Drive 0.1131 Sulphur, LA 70663.
• 1:41:59
  OK. At that Fowler Drive, is there a
• 1:42:04
  number other than 20? Is there like an apartment
• 1:42:07
  number? All right.
• 1:42:26
  In each of these cases, ma'am, you are facing state jail felony
• 1:42:30
  in four of these cases, which carry with it up to two years in
• 1:42:36
  the state jail, no less than six months, up to two years in the
• 1:42:40
  state jail in each case. So that's a grand total of eight
• 1:42:43
  years confinement in the state jail prison.
• 1:42:47
  So it's serious and you're asking for four weeks, 4 weeks
• 1:42:50
  time, no discovery. What this is over a year old
• 1:42:57
  what has happened in this past year regarding the children
• 1:43:02
  they're what they did. OK and is that court ordered
• 1:43:06
  somehow? Well, no, the OK the CBS case
• 1:43:09
  is. Overweight.
• 1:43:10
  Completed all the stuff. They said they was trying to see
• 1:43:14
  where this case was going to go because one of the things was
• 1:43:18
  going to be this. It is that I can't have contact
• 1:43:21
  with them. So they kept on with their
• 1:43:24
  family. All right.
• 1:43:28
  So the father of the children have custody essentially.
• 1:43:32
  Do you get to see the children on?
• 1:43:34
  As of this. Case I can have contact, no
• 1:43:37
  contact with the children. Well, I can't be happy for you.
• 1:43:45
  So obviously these are serious matters, but they are fixable.
• 1:43:55
  Mr. W, here's a good one. And I guess you want to have a
• 1:44:03
  familial, A parenting mother relationship with the children,
• 1:44:07
  right? Well, there's a way where there
• 1:44:10
  are ways of fixing that and dealing with this.
• 1:44:13
  You've not been in any felony trouble before.
• 1:44:19
  Well, this is the room for second chances when they're
• 1:44:26
  earned, and it's the right thing to do.
• 1:44:31
  But yeah, why don't we try to figure out how we can hasten
• 1:44:36
  this so that if it can be moved, you know, one of the terms and
• 1:44:43
  conditions of probation would be getting her back.
• 1:44:47
  She's unsupervised supervision to probation.
• 1:44:51
  We can wean her back on to the contact with her children, which
• 1:44:56
  is the OR vital things for a parent if if they still want to
• 1:45:01
  be the parent like she said. So all right, you got 4 weeks
• 1:45:06
  we'll reset it and then I'll put an asterisk on that looking to
• 1:45:10
  see what the plan is and we'll try to move it in a responsible
• 1:45:16
  expedient way. How are?
• 1:45:18
  You that's. I have poorly.
• 1:45:22
  Cornish, please. Is
• 1:45:33
  that you? OK, Let's.
• 1:45:36
  Do you have an attorney at all? No, Your Honor, I may.
• 1:45:40
  I called. The last time I was.
• 1:45:41
  Up here, you told me to call just to see what I did.
• 1:45:47
  Since there are 2500 cases still in my docket.
• 1:45:52
  Your face was I, I people are familiar face, but I couldn't
• 1:45:56
  tell you what the matter was all about.
• 1:46:00
  A couple of things jump out of me.
• 1:46:02
  This is an indictment that is a year and a half old and we're
• 1:46:08
  we're already we're just in the very initial stages.
• 1:46:12
  And you must have moved. This shows your address was 5201
• 1:46:18
  in Orange. Have you moved from there?
• 1:46:20
  Yes, sure. That's why we don't know where
• 1:46:23
  the heck you were. And it took a lot of time to
• 1:46:25
  find where you are now. Where are you living at?
• 1:46:29
  Hi, I live at 8351 FM 360. 5. Beaumont, TX 77705, Trailer 85.
• 1:46:44
  However, I was still living in Orange County when they
• 1:46:46
  arrested. Is it number 358585?
• 1:46:50
  Yeah, sure. When did you move to 365 from
• 1:46:54
  365? I've been there a couple months
• 1:47:00
  now. I just don't remember the exact
• 1:47:02
  month. OK.
• 1:47:05
  But you're going to do you plan to continue to reside there for
• 1:47:09
  the time being? Yeah, sure.
• 1:47:11
  OK. You were charged in this with a
• 1:47:13
  state jail felony of unauthorized use of a motor
• 1:47:15
  vehicle, which carries with it, like the previous case, up to
• 1:47:19
  two years in this state jail and.
• 1:47:35
  You. Are you working somewhere?
• 1:47:37
  Yes, you are. Where is that?
• 1:47:38
  I work at the Booster Buddies in Nederland of Nederland Ave.
• 1:47:41
  The what? Buddies?
• 1:47:42
  Booster Buddies? That sounds like a friendly
• 1:47:44
  group. It is.
• 1:47:45
  What do they do? It's just a thrift store.
• 1:47:48
  Oh, OK. I thought maybe you help people
• 1:47:54
  whose batteries were dead out in the field.
• 1:47:58
  Booster Buddies? I'm very woman.
• 1:48:00
  Boosting them to. What I can do if I work?
• 1:48:04
  OK. Are you able to hire a lawyer?
• 1:48:06
  No, Your Honor. Why not?
• 1:48:07
  Because the income. Yes, Sir.
• 1:48:09
  And I have two children and a single parent.
• 1:48:12
  Where's the quote? Quotes.
• 1:48:17
  Responsible father Don't know. In the wind.
• 1:48:22
  Took off. Doesn't take care of the
• 1:48:24
  children. Ought to be a prime for that.
• 1:48:29
  Two of them. Yes.
• 1:48:32
  OK, well you got to fix this because they're down to one
• 1:48:43
  parent now practically and you're going to have to fill out
• 1:48:55
  one of those indigent forms here in a minute.
• 1:48:58
  And then if the court reviews it and finds you to be indigent, an
• 1:49:01
  attorney will be appointed for help You OK, just take and just
• 1:49:06
  kind of fill it over there. Then our Betos are very nice
• 1:49:09
  people. They'll help you start on that
• 1:49:12
  when it's you'll swear in front of a notary here and then I'll I
• 1:49:19
  will look at it. If I declare you indigent, we'll
• 1:49:22
  get somebody to try to help you immediately.
• 1:49:26
  If I can find someone. And I do see a couple of of the
• 1:49:31
  lawyers who'd be indigent work here for us.
• 1:49:33
  OK. Yes, Sir.
• 1:49:35
  All right, fix this and get this thing.
• 1:49:38
  Careful. You don't have a criminal
• 1:49:39
  history, right? Well, you don't want one.
• 1:49:42
  And this is a fixable thing. And this is a very nice lady who
• 1:49:46
  who is fair and should be handling it.
• 1:49:49
  Miss Moore is going to be handling this case.
• 1:49:52
  OK. So thanks, Kendall.
• 1:49:56
  We'll help you. And then Dale Jones.
• 1:50:00
  Dale Jones. OK.
• 1:50:25
  And 2137113, what we have here is a motion to revoke
• 1:50:30
  unadjudicated probation. So you have been on probation?
• 1:50:36
  For. Several years looks like July
• 1:50:39
  28th, 2022 and you're on probation for five years on the
• 1:50:45
  state of felony of abandoning or endangering a child, which this
• 1:50:51
  would be getting toward the end except this shows according to
• 1:50:58
  this motion and the reason that a motion to revoke the probation
• 1:51:02
  was filed. It is alleged that you failed to
• 1:51:04
  report to the probation office on or about September 22nd, 2025
• 1:51:09
  and October 9th of 2025. I guess you were supposed to
• 1:51:15
  report bi weekly or every two weeks, Bi monthly, every two
• 1:51:19
  weeks and then you failed to do that.
• 1:51:23
  What happened on this on? Was he an absconder?
• 1:51:30
  No Sir, home wasn't abscond an absconder.
• 1:51:33
  Absconder means you, you quit recording and then we had to go
• 1:51:37
  find you somewhere. So that happens from time to
• 1:51:40
  time. It's never good, a good thing
• 1:51:42
  because if you don't, if you can't do anything else and there
• 1:51:48
  are on a probation order, there are about 34 conditions,
• 1:51:56
  although most of those are the conditions that all of us in
• 1:52:00
  this room have to follow. Number one, commit no offense
• 1:52:03
  and we all have to follow that one.
• 1:52:05
  You know, don't associate with disreputable people.
• 1:52:10
  That's always good for everybody.
• 1:52:12
  You know, don't use your possessed drug.
• 1:52:14
  See, most of these are things that I have to follow.
• 1:52:17
  So this isn't, it's not something special.
• 1:52:20
  The thing that's special is you report to a guidance counselor
• 1:52:25
  as it were, our probation office, which has a 13 out of 14
• 1:52:31
  success rate, 93%. And if you don't report, you're
• 1:52:36
  not on probation, you're on your own probation, which is what
• 1:52:40
  gets you in trouble. How long was he not reporting?
• 1:52:47
  Do we know? Judge, from my understanding, he
• 1:52:49
  was on courtesy supervision being seen in person in Harris
• 1:52:53
  County and he was supposed to be reporting monthly with our
• 1:52:57
  probation officer here. He had actually been doing good
• 1:53:00
  for a very long time, just every two weeks because he he didn't
• 1:53:04
  report September 22nd and then October 9th.
• 1:53:08
  It's different. Weeks 20 it's a month.
• 1:53:11
  It's a once a month. It's not like the third week or
• 1:53:15
  fourth week, and that was a 2 month.
• 1:53:17
  That was a two week deal. But is it something that the
• 1:53:20
  probation officer works with them on?
• 1:53:23
  Yeah. So this is from when he was
• 1:53:26
  scheduled to report here to Jefferson County for an
• 1:53:29
  administrative hearing with the supervisor.
• 1:53:31
  We we scheduled him twice and he didn't show up.
• 1:53:35
  So that's what prompted the MTRP because his failure to appear
• 1:53:38
  and the. MTRP gets filed July 28th.
• 1:53:45
  No, I'm sorry, it's filed on December 12th.
• 1:53:53
  So that's about two months after that October 9th point.
• 1:53:59
  So what happened since October 9th with him?
• 1:54:03
  Well, since since October 9th, Judge, I did.
• 1:54:07
  He come back to the to the herd. He's still in the comeback room.
• 1:54:13
  He's starting to come back around now.
• 1:54:15
  And what we're asking is just for his probation to just to be
• 1:54:17
  continued and just use this as a.
• 1:54:24
  When did we start back up on the track?
• 1:54:27
  When? When did he get back in line?
• 1:54:29
  What day? When he.
• 1:54:33
  Was arrested for the MTRP in March.
• 1:54:36
  Good Lord, that's a happy year. Well, that's, I don't find that
• 1:54:45
  appealing. So what's good for Dale is
• 1:54:49
  what's good for everybody. Everybody's going to say I'll
• 1:54:53
  take my 6 month period of I'm going to take off for six months
• 1:54:57
  and I will, I want the Dale Jones rule.
• 1:55:00
  I want to get back when when you get me, when you catch me.
• 1:55:03
  Then we'll just pick up where we left off.
• 1:55:06
  What's good for one is good for everybody.
• 1:55:08
  That the fairness is what we're talking about up here and that
• 1:55:10
  doesn't seem fair. That opens up a can of worms for
• 1:55:13
  everybody. So he's been reporting
• 1:55:15
  consistently in Harris County, but he wasn't reported by Hail
• 1:55:18
  to Jefferson County as requested or as outlined to this
• 1:55:22
  conditional probation. Why not?
• 1:55:24
  Because I was in a predicament. I'm kind of a bonus right now.
• 1:55:27
  So I had to have no kind of, you know, bone to report online and
• 1:55:32
  I had no way down here. So, you know, in Houston, I
• 1:55:35
  could just, you know, pitch the books to go to my probation
• 1:55:38
  office down there. So you wouldn't see it would be
• 1:55:40
  easy. So but down here, you know,
• 1:55:43
  ain't had no ad or, you know, phone support.
• 1:55:46
  Well, we. Probably have a pork by mail
• 1:55:49
  though, don't we? I mean, you can do that by by
• 1:55:52
  mail, right? So you can report by mail like.
• 1:55:54
  How about that? You forgot about that option.
• 1:55:57
  Well, yes Sir, but don't. Blame your stamps, They're high.
• 1:56:09
  Oh, you got to communicate. Are you not on probation?
• 1:56:11
  Is it? Well, you're looking at two
• 1:56:15
  years. First of all, you're looking at
• 1:56:17
  a conviction. I can.
• 1:56:19
  This can be revoked. You can be revoked, found guilty
• 1:56:22
  and then sentenced to two years. How much time does he have
• 1:56:25
  credit? How much time do you have
• 1:56:41
  credit? How much time have you spent in
• 1:56:44
  custody in this case in the history of the case?
• 1:56:49
  About a long time, short time. I'm not quite sure how long he
• 1:56:54
  was in jail this last time when we issued the NTRP warrant and
• 1:57:01
  set it at a no bond. However, the county that he was
• 1:57:05
  arrested in said bond and he bonded out.
• 1:57:08
  Don't know how long he was in. Jail was that?
• 1:57:11
  Of course. But in Jeff.
• 1:57:13
  That's why I enjoyed being here in Jefferson County in the way
• 1:57:18
  things are done because we don't.
• 1:57:20
  We order no bond and then they quite naturally defy the order.
• 1:57:26
  But in Jefferson County, Judge has 15 days credit.
• 1:57:31
  That's not much time towards two years.
• 1:57:35
  OK. All right.
• 1:57:38
  That's your plan. OK.
• 1:57:42
  If we put you back into the game, you're going to play
• 1:57:47
  errorless ball. Yes, Sir.
• 1:57:49
  OK. You can't just wander off from
• 1:57:55
  the flock. The.
• 1:57:59
  Wolf will get you. What I'm going to?
• 1:58:05
  Find. Is this this that?
• 1:58:08
  Are you pleading true here to allegation 1 voluntarily?
• 1:58:13
  And because it is true, that is, you failed to report on those
• 1:58:17
  two occasions, September and October 2025, which violated
• 1:58:22
  condition four of your deferred or unadjudicated probation
• 1:58:25
  order, Is all of that true? Yes, Sir.
• 1:58:28
  Are you pleading true to that voluntarily and because it is
• 1:58:32
  true, you understand that voluntarily and knowingly made
• 1:58:38
  plea of true to one for more violations of probation, that is
• 1:58:42
  enough to grant a motion to revoke probation.
• 1:58:45
  Your probation could be revoked. You can now be found guilty and
• 1:58:49
  sentenced up to two years in the state jail.
• 1:58:52
  Understand all of that. Knowing all of that, do you
• 1:58:55
  insist on pleading true today to that violation?
• 1:59:01
  Just a leap of faith? Yes, yes.
• 1:59:06
  I find you were pleading true voluntarily.
• 1:59:08
  You understand and appreciate the consequences of pleading
• 1:59:10
  true. I could revoke your probation,
• 1:59:13
  find you guilty, and sentence you up to two years.
• 1:59:15
  We're going to give you another try at this.
• 1:59:18
  Do your best. I'm going to hold this open.
• 1:59:20
  We'll review it. But if you can't do anything
• 1:59:23
  else, report regularly. That's so important, and I know
• 1:59:30
  I'm looking at your material here.
• 1:59:31
  You're more than capable of getting through the finish line
• 1:59:34
  and doing great. OK, yes, OK, you stumbled.
• 1:59:39
  Pick yourself up, get back in the game and win this marathon.
• 1:59:42
  OK, you can do it. I want to review it in about 6
• 1:59:46
  months, seeing what we're doing, but ease your guidance there.
• 1:59:51
  He's going to get you out of the woods here and all of that.
• 1:59:54
  You don't want to mess up on this deferred probation.
• 1:59:59
  You don't want a conviction. You know how long a conviction
• 2:00:02
  lasts? How long?
• 2:00:05
  The rest of your life. And that closes off all kinds of
• 2:00:10
  doors of opportunities. And you don't need that.
• 2:00:13
  Fix this. You're more responsible than
• 2:00:15
  this. I know it.
• 2:00:16
  It's OK. Fix it.
• 2:00:17
  OK. We'll see you back in six
• 2:00:18
  months. Do well.
• 2:00:20
  Yes, Sir. OK.
• 2:00:21
  Get everything. Welcome once again to TCF Live,
• 2:00:28
  everybody, It is Wednesday. We're about, what, halfway
• 2:00:31
  through the show now already? Time flies when you're having
• 2:00:35
  fun. Or as my father oddly used to
• 2:00:37
  say, time is fun when you're having flies.
• 2:00:39
  Either way, I suppose let's go back up to Michigan and Judge
• 2:00:44
  Jacquelina, you taking any medication yesterday or?
• 2:00:50
  Today, no. Any sign of fever or COVID?
• 2:00:53
  Or other illness. No, you're not.
• 2:00:57
  Have you had enough time to speak with your attorney?
• 2:01:00
  And I understand there's going to be a plea today.
• 2:01:03
  Is that correct? And.
• 2:01:08
  I know. You've.
• 2:01:10
  Been. There's been a lot going on in
• 2:01:12
  your file. This is a 23 file, so you've
• 2:01:15
  been in I think almost 1 before and custody in another county,
• 2:01:25
  is that right? Are you?
• 2:01:26
  Still. With.
• 2:01:28
  That other? County.
• 2:01:30
  I'm on probation. In Clinton County, but I'm
• 2:01:32
  currently incarcerated in the new county.
• 2:01:35
  This in this case. OK, and then are you still
• 2:01:39
  homeless or have you? No actually my boyfriend has
• 2:01:42
  been able to get us a house and vehicle and get my job.
• 2:01:46
  Back for me. OK, good.
• 2:01:48
  So. All right, so that's the
• 2:02:07
  Brandywine. All right.
• 2:02:14
  And I know you were previously working, can you go back to that
• 2:02:18
  job or Yes, Ballard's cleaning so as soon as I get out I can
• 2:02:22
  start work the same day. OK, good.
• 2:02:27
  And you're AUS citizen. Yes, you are at the.
• 2:02:30
  Time of this offence? Were you on probation, parole or
• 2:02:32
  bad conditions? Before you under Judge.
• 2:02:35
  Not at the time that I got. Discharged.
• 2:02:38
  No. Yeah.
• 2:02:41
  What is the? Plea.
• 2:02:42
  Agreement on behalf of the people.
• 2:02:44
  Yes, your. Honor the defendant.
• 2:02:46
  We plan to an added Count 2 of firearm improper possession of a
• 2:02:51
  firearm in or upon a motor vehicle that has a 90 day
• 2:02:54
  misdemeanor. Upon successful plea in
• 2:02:57
  sentencing, count one will be dismissed.
• 2:03:00
  There is an agreement to no upfront jail at the time of
• 2:03:03
  sentencing and forfeiture of all contraband.
• 2:03:11
  Can we go to sentencing today the.
• 2:03:13
  People need another court discretion.
• 2:03:15
  Your Honor, no the. Factories.
• 2:03:16
  We asked. For some, I think, what what?
• 2:03:19
  What we would ask to go to meeting sentence?
• 2:03:21
  There. Thank you.
• 2:03:23
  And is that both fair, accurate and complete regard to the plea
• 2:03:27
  agreement? It is your.
• 2:03:29
  Ma'am, counseling, waving, we can count 1.
• 2:03:33
  Yes, Sir. All right.
• 2:03:35
  And then you do understand that all CS contraband would be
• 2:03:39
  forfeited and the weapon that you had, was it yours or someone
• 2:03:43
  else's who lawfully had it? I'm sorry, someone else's, Your
• 2:03:46
  Honor, did they lawfully have it?
• 2:03:48
  Did they lawfully have it? Yes, they did.
• 2:03:52
  OK. So they would be able to, it's
• 2:03:54
  going to be forfeited today, but they would be able to obtain it
• 2:03:58
  if they have the lawful licensing etcetera, OK.
• 2:04:05
  As. To the reading of count 2 yeah
• 2:04:10
  sure are people the state of Michigan versus Nikita Nicole
• 2:04:13
  Taylor state of Michigan, county of Ingham in the name of the
• 2:04:17
  people, the state of Michigan the prosecuting attorney for
• 2:04:20
  this county appears before the court and informs the.

  Court. That on March 19th, 2023 at 300
• 2:04:26

  An unloaded firearm which is not a pistol 2 with a firearm that
• 2:04:53
  was not inaccessible from the interior interior of the

  partially. Up to a maximum.
• 2:05:00
  Of 90 days and or $100.00 with mandatory forfeiture of weapon

  or device and I guess the peace and dignity of the people of the
• 2:05:09
  state of Michigan. Thank you ma'am.
• 2:05:11
  Did you understand what it's just right?
• 2:05:14
  So you understand the improper transfer?
• 2:05:17
  Of the. Firearm in our bond motor
• 2:05:22
  vehicle is a 90 day misdemeanor and we just discussed the
• 2:05:28
  forfeiture hearing agreement with all that and.
• 2:05:33
  It looks like you. Signed the rights of rights
• 2:05:35
  forms. Did you read it before you
• 2:05:36
  signed it? Did you understand what?
• 2:05:38
  You read and Do you understand about pleading or giving up your
• 2:05:41
  automatic right of appeal? If you choose to appeal, then
• 2:05:45
  you first advance permission the Court of Appeals.
• 2:05:49
  You're also giving out the presumption of innocence, the
• 2:05:52
  ability to cross examine witnesses and evidence, the
• 2:05:54
  ability to choose to provide a defense, etcetera.
• 2:05:58
  Seems like you're having trouble hearing me.
• 2:06:00
  Do you need some help? We do have some.
• 2:06:04
  I mean. I'm hearing better than I had
• 2:06:06
  the last time. So it's just when you talk a
• 2:06:10
  little bit closer at your evening, OK, I'm going to do
• 2:06:13
  this. Is that better?
• 2:06:14
  OK, because we do have headphones, this can get a
• 2:06:16
  little. Odd for everyone else, but
• 2:06:17
  that's fine. All right, ma'am, as to count to
• 2:06:23
  weapons, firearm, improper possession or transport in or
• 2:06:27
  upon a motor vehicle. How do you feed I have to get
• 2:06:30
  the air and have you plan on? Your own free.
• 2:06:37
  Will. And you did that after
• 2:06:40
  consulting with your attorney? And you've been satisfied with
• 2:06:45
  the representation of Council, Ma'am?
• 2:06:49
  Did this offense occur on or about March 19th, 2023 in the
• 2:06:54
  City of Mason County, Raynham State of Michigan?
• 2:06:58
  At a specific. Location known as 300 Green Park
• 2:07:01
  Dr., Apt C You came in contact with law enforcement.
• 2:07:07
  Kind of. How does kind of either did or
• 2:07:09
  didn't? I didn't personally come in
• 2:07:11
  contact with law enforcement. Somebody turned the weapon into
• 2:07:16
  law. Enforcement and then I was kind
• 2:07:18
  of did a couple months. Later in regards to it.
• 2:07:23
  So yes, I did the months later. OK.
• 2:07:27
  So they contacted you because somebody provided the weapon
• 2:07:30
  from the vehicle? Yes.
• 2:07:33
  How did they find? The vehicle they.
• 2:07:35
  Went through my purse. Who's they?
• 2:07:37
  They went through. My purse and took it to the
• 2:07:39
  Police Department. Do you know who they was?
• 2:07:42
  Yeah, her name was her pre Brown.
• 2:07:44
  But did she have? Ms. Brown.
• 2:07:47
  Ms. Pre brown. Can you spell it?
• 2:07:49
  Capri. And so did she have lawful
• 2:07:53
  access to the vehicle? Your Honor can.
• 2:07:56
  We approach yes. So was it your vehicle?
• 2:08:23
  No, it was my purse. I.
• 2:08:25
  See. OK.
• 2:08:27
  And so the weapon was found is that right?
• 2:08:32
  Right and turned over to law enforcement, OK.
• 2:08:35
  And it was not your weapon. You didn't have any lawful
• 2:08:43
  reason to have it in your possession.
• 2:08:46
  And it was found in the vehicle that you what were passenger or
• 2:08:53
  driving. It was a pasture, but it was
• 2:08:56
  actually. Found in my purse.
• 2:08:58
  After I got out of the vehicle. It was found in the house.
• 2:09:01
  OK. But you had that purse in the
• 2:09:04
  vehicle as it was driving, OK. And you understood that that
• 2:09:11
  weapon, the pistol, was a dangerous weapon and should not
• 2:09:15
  have been in your possession or in a vehicle that was moving.
• 2:09:23
  And then when police approached you, you admitted to it.
• 2:09:28
  I plead no contest until it was found over.
• 2:09:31
  Until. Today is the first.
• 2:09:33
  Day that I plead guilty, OK and you're pleading guilty because
• 2:09:36
  you're not guilty of violating the law OK, I would have the.
• 2:09:44
  People with additional. Questions.
• 2:09:45
  The. People in satisfied with the
• 2:09:47
  faction basis you're on and council, if there's any defect
• 2:09:52
  in this procedure, how it was found, how this all came
• 2:09:56
  together, that's being waived. Yes, ma'am.
• 2:09:58
  Any additional questions? Just a couple I think.
• 2:10:01
  We. Saw everything but I just want
• 2:10:02
  to make sure. Miss Taylor, turn your attention
• 2:10:06
  back. This occurred on March. 19th.
• 2:10:08
  2000 and. 23 Is that correct? Yes, Sir, and you're going to.
• 2:10:13
  Miss Brown's. House in Mason.
• 2:10:15
  Is that correct? No, I was going to my ex
• 2:10:18
  husband's house with her brother Lori Yvonne's house in Mason.
• 2:10:23
  OK, I got you. But this problem, but this
• 2:10:25
  problem was going to be there. Is that correct?
• 2:10:28
  And you knew you had the. Gun in the.
• 2:10:30
  Purse, is that correct? That was even though it wasn't
• 2:10:32
  your gun, you had permission to have the gun in.
• 2:10:34
  Your purse, is that correct? And you didn't have a.
• 2:10:37
  Carry concealed part, is that correct?
• 2:10:40
  And after you weren't the driver is that correct?
• 2:10:44
  And then? When you got.
• 2:10:45
  Into the house. That's where they found the gun
• 2:10:48
  in your purse. Is that correct?
• 2:10:49
  No additional license. Has anyone told you what I will
• 2:10:52
  do at sentencing? Our Council wear promises,
• 2:10:56
  threats or induces other than those already placed on the
• 2:10:59
  record. No, you're not.
• 2:11:01
  Does the court comply with the court rule?
• 2:11:03
  You have your own Yes, Ron. I find defendants please and
• 2:11:06
  freely voluntarily known the understanding they made without
• 2:11:09
  undue influence, trust, coercion or promises of convenience.
• 2:11:12
  He. Also.
• 2:11:13
  Finds there are sufficient grounds to accept defendants
• 2:11:15
  free, therefore Count 2 will enter now. 1 is hereby dismissed
• 2:11:22
  in its entirety, all weapons and country and are hereby forfeited
• 2:11:27
  as to this defendant. However, if there is a lawful
• 2:11:31
  owner of the weapon and they can satisfy law enforcement, they
• 2:11:35
  may seek it back. It's been a long time, so I
• 2:11:39
  don't know what law. Enforcement's done.
• 2:11:41
  That they probably still have it, but I, I don't know.
• 2:11:44
  All right, we're going to make a sentencing.
• 2:11:48
  That's correct, Ryan. We have the.
• 2:11:50
  People. Your Honor, I would just ask
• 2:11:53
  default the recommendation of no upfront jail.
• 2:11:55
  Thank you. Yeah, sure, Miss.
• 2:11:58
  Taylor's been in jail on this file, I think about. 30.
• 2:12:00
  Five days around. We were here maybe a month or so
• 2:12:03
  ago where I guess she had absconded from a pre trial the
• 2:12:07
  court had remanded her hand in. This case, she had another.
• 2:12:11
  Matter pending in the District Court that got dismissed.
• 2:12:15
  She is presently on probation in Clinton County AS.
• 2:12:18
  Well, your. Honor it all stemmed.
• 2:12:20
  From her. Addiction.
• 2:12:22
  To substance. Abuse.
• 2:12:23
  My understanding is she's working towards getting those
• 2:12:26
  issues cleared up in three years.
• 2:12:28
  She doesn't have stable housing. Her.
• 2:12:30
  Boyfriend Stevens here in the courtroom, as is her father.
• 2:12:34
  She is on the right. Road to recovery.
• 2:12:36
  And is in a different place than where she was three years ago.
• 2:12:39
  I'd ask that. She'd given the credit for 35.
• 2:12:41
  Days, Your Honor, ma'am, what have you learned from all this?
• 2:12:44
  You're not just this county, but other counties, and you've been
• 2:12:48
  in just a horrible situation. What have you.
• 2:12:49
  Learned I I like. To follow the law I.
• 2:12:52
  Like to show up to court, contact pre trust services for
• 2:12:55
  sure. I learned that drugs are not to
• 2:12:58
  have, that I want to know, and that it has ruined my life for
• 2:13:02
  the. Last couple of years my life.
• 2:13:04
  And I learned that I just want to get another together and to
• 2:13:08
  start fresh. And I want to make my children
• 2:13:11
  happy, but I just want to make my father happy.
• 2:13:13
  And I just want a fresh start so.
• 2:13:17
  And I don't want to go to jail ever again.
• 2:13:19
  Well, first and foremost, you have to make yourself happy.
• 2:13:23
  You can't do it for someone else.
• 2:13:24
  It doesn't work that way. Yeah, you have to choose
• 2:13:27
  yourself, and you also need to, by choosing yourself, have the
• 2:13:35
  courage to ask for help because that is a sign of strength.
• 2:13:38
  That seems to me from this file is growing that you needed some
• 2:13:43
  help along the way and turned to drugs instead of asking for
• 2:13:47
  help. So I hope you've learned that
• 2:13:48
  lesson. How long are you on probation
• 2:13:52
  in? Clinton.
• 2:13:52
  County. I have the option to get off in
• 2:13:54
  nine months but. They gave me 18 months.
• 2:13:56
  Probation. I believe so.
• 2:13:58
  And I have. Drugs and I have three months
• 2:14:00
  and eight classes a week. So I actually have been jailed,
• 2:14:03
  met some good people from there. So I think it'll be good for me
• 2:14:07
  to have that structure. Ma'am, I I don't think there's
• 2:14:12
  any need to keep you on. A double.
• 2:14:15
  Probation. I could marry up my probation
• 2:14:18
  with theirs, but I know Clinton does an excellent job and
• 2:14:22
  therefore. I.
• 2:14:23
  Give you 35 days of credit For 35 days you have to pay a $50
• 2:14:28
  state cost and a $75 crime victims.
• 2:14:33
  That's 100. And 20. $5 I know you've been
• 2:14:37
  incarcerated for a while, so I'm going to give you until July 4th
• 2:14:50
  of 2027 to pay that. 125. So that should be enough time
• 2:14:58
  for you to put a few dollars away.
• 2:15:01
  You don't have to pay it all at once.
• 2:15:02
  You can, but you just pay a few dollars but.
• 2:15:05
  We need to get 100. And $25 to.
• 2:15:07
  Close this manner totally. Otherwise I'll just take it from
• 2:15:09
  tax returns or other things and they can make these do a lot of
• 2:15:13
  things. So that's why I'm giving you
• 2:15:14
  some time to. Pay.
• 2:15:16
  But part of your recovery is to make amends in every way, and
• 2:15:19
  that includes repaying. Accounts.
• 2:15:21
  So it's 100. And $25 which is minimal
• 2:15:24
  compared to what I can do and waiving finance cost of turning
• 2:15:27
  fees. I give 42 days to appeal to
• 2:15:30
  request Power Council. Thank you very much.
• 2:15:35
  Good luck to you. You still recommend that you get
• 2:15:37
  a copy? Of the form is that.
• 2:15:38
  Correct. OK, thank you.
• 2:15:40
  Announcing receipt say yes, yes. Thank you.
• 2:15:45
  Good luck. Thank you.
• 2:15:52
  Mr. All righty well, she.
• 2:16:08
  Racks up another contestant. Let's move along.
• 2:16:11
  We'll go back and see what's what's up now with Judge
• 2:16:14
  McNally. They're going to plead this to a
• 2:16:18
  civil infraction, which I hate to see people get criminal
• 2:16:21
  convictions on these, but well, you got to make sure this child
• 2:16:25
  is in school. She has.
• 2:16:27
  Like I was. Explaining she has mental health
• 2:16:29
  issues. I already called a counselor.
• 2:16:31
  She goes back on April 30th for entity and she's just honest.
• 2:16:36
  I know it's next year. She's going through a lot.
• 2:16:38
  She's 12, my son. He goes to school.
• 2:16:39
  Every day. And I mean he doesn't have an
• 2:16:42
  issue with going it's just her and I don't have my license
• 2:16:46
  right now. I honestly just paid $5000 about
• 2:16:50
  5 grand I'm trying to get it back.
• 2:16:51
  I have AI see the people April 30th they're going to say yes or
• 2:16:55
  no. If I can get it back $5000 for
• 2:16:58
  what? Because I had filings at Ronaldo
• 2:17:01
  Sport and I just started working full time 2 years this this will
• 2:17:05
  be my second year at my job. I completely turn my life
• 2:17:08
  around. I know probably my file can see
• 2:17:10
  everything in the past. I just graduated high school.
• 2:17:13
  I'm trying. Everything I can to.
• 2:17:14
  Give them about his life and. And I said I don't have my
• 2:17:18
  license if they're late to school.
• 2:17:20
  I heard that they're still mark absent for that day as well.
• 2:17:23
  And my mom takes us, takes me everywhere.
• 2:17:26
  Are you talking to a lawyer about getting your license back?
• 2:17:29
  Yeah, I go. In front of.
• 2:17:31
  It's like, it's not a court, it's like a panel.
• 2:17:33
  It's OHA. I'm.
• 2:17:35

• 2:18:04
  So you're going to plead to public nuisance?
• 2:18:08
  She understands how serious this is now.
• 2:18:10
  Like we had a conversation. She knows everything I'm doing
• 2:18:12
  today and she even started crying.
• 2:18:14
  She's like, I'm sorry, mom, how old is she?
• 2:18:16
  She's 12. She'll be 13 in July.
• 2:18:24
  She understands. The father in her life.
• 2:18:26
  Yes, and he. Was another part of the issue
• 2:18:28
  'cause they go with them Friday, Saturday, Sunday night and he
• 2:18:31
  takes. Them to the bus Monday.
• 2:18:33
  And a lot. Of times I didn't even know she
• 2:18:34
  was in school because he takes them to the bus Monday when he
• 2:18:37
  brings them back until I got a phone call from school that she
• 2:18:40
  was asked. And I'm like.
• 2:18:41
  What is going on? So and OK, just relax.
• 2:18:45
  So you're completely responsible.
• 2:18:46
  There's agreed upon fines that cost $200.
• 2:18:50
  Says you need time to pay. How much time do you need?
• 2:18:54
  About two. Months.
• 2:18:55
  I get paid every two weeks. And you want to pay biweekly?
• 2:18:58
  Or do you want to just have me set it up for June 15th?
• 2:19:02
  June 15th? If you need more time, you can
• 2:19:05
  come and talk to me. I'll be glad to give you an

  she doing all right in school when she goes when she goes, but
• 2:19:29
  because she's mistake, she's falling behind.
• 2:19:31
  I just got if you ever think I'm serious, this case is old.
• 2:19:36
  You ever think you could you'd want to bring her in here and
• 2:19:39
  have me talk to her. I will do that.
• 2:19:41
  I even asked the school. I'm like, can you please tell
• 2:19:43
  her in like? I'll go to jail like.
• 2:19:45
  Something. And I'm not going to lie to her,
• 2:19:47
  but I'm going to encourage her to go to school and maybe I can
• 2:19:50
  talk some, You know, you let me know you called Heather.
• 2:19:56
  Give her give her your number and you can set her up if she
• 2:20:00
  calls back. OK.

• 2:20:27
  So, so Woodhaven will let you do that, but somebody you're going

  to have to accompany the defendant over there.

  You're going to have to meet him over at Woodhaven.
• 2:20:35
  Is it going to have to be me personally or can I send one of
• 2:20:38
  my partners? You can send one of your
• 2:20:40
  partners. So I just like you to coordinate
• 2:20:45
  with the defendant. Is the defendant still down
• 2:20:47
  there, Heather? I hope he is at the window right
• 2:20:51
  now, Judge. Good.
• 2:20:52
  What time you want me to tell him to have him go over there?
• 2:20:57
  I've got to. Actually figure out who else is
• 2:20:58
  working currently. So I'm going to need a minute to
• 2:21:01
  figure that out. OK?
• 2:21:02

  I did already call this one. Why is this back up here?
• 2:21:44
  Is Mr. Kaylee out there? What is going on?
• 2:21:47
  No, Judge. We already did that one.
• 2:21:49
  That's the one I don't. Yeah.

  OK. So this is for Christina Justice

  Mr. Alanzi, please state your name for the record anytime.
• 2:22:15
  Simple pretrial, Your Honor. We're going to.
• 2:22:17
  Waive jury trial. Hopefully that leaves some
• 2:22:21
  pressure on the court and we got like a little bit of extra time
• 2:22:26
  to resolve this matter. And the reason I'm going to do
• 2:22:31
  the bench trial on May the 8th. Sorry, if we're gonna you're,
• 2:22:35
  you got a jury trial waiver here, that's fine.
• 2:22:38
  We'll we'll set it for bench and by that time we'll have
• 2:22:40
  everything. Resolved.
• 2:22:41
  Rather, I know, but he's got to get moving here.
• 2:22:43
  Well, it's. Not.
• 2:22:44
  Him it's, it's the courts, I mean.
• 2:22:45
  I'll be honest with you, I'm. Retained on all these matters,
• 2:22:48
  I'm responsible, not the courts, but it.
• 2:22:50
  Surely is. Of course I'm.
• 2:22:52
  I'm I'm at mercy of your schedule.
• 2:22:53
  Who's the court scheduled? Not us.
• 2:22:56
  Yeah. Not this court schedule.
• 2:22:57
  No. We're the best.
• 2:22:58
  Why? Why?
• 2:22:59
  Well, what do you mean you're at the mercy of the other courts?
• 2:23:05
  Our PE agreement here is. Pinches.
• 2:23:08
  Upon the other courts resolving their matters.
• 2:23:12
  I can't get the prosecutor movement in the direction that I
• 2:23:15
  want without these. Other matters being.
• 2:23:16
  Closed and and one of them is is he's going to fill but it's not
• 2:23:22
  OK Listen, I'll take the waiver. Thank you.
• 2:23:25
  We'll set it for a bench on maybe 8th.
• 2:23:27
  I might set it earlier by a couple days.
• 2:23:32
  I don't even think I can do any. Of you, Well, listen, I'm not
• 2:23:35
  adjourning this again, I'm telling you, I'm not adjourning
• 2:23:38
  this. I'm just not doing it.
• 2:23:41
  You know, look, let me let me let you in a secret tension.
• 2:23:46
  My constituents are my number one boss #2 is the Supreme Court
• 2:23:51
  and they tell me I'm supposed to have 98% of these cases done
• 2:23:55
  within 91 days. They didn't write me and ask my
• 2:23:57
  opinion whether or not that was enough time.
• 2:24:00
  And I'm just telling you this case is over 91 days.
• 2:24:04
  When I go to May 8th, I'm not adjourning it again.
• 2:24:08
  I will not adjourn this again. I I told you that before I wrote
• 2:24:14
  the big letters. No more adjournments.
• 2:24:17
  That was on April 1. So I wasn't.
• 2:24:21
  Here, April 1 driver. I had somebody stand in line.
• 2:24:23
  I don't care. Sorry, I'm not trying to give
• 2:24:26
  you a hard time. I'm not adjourning this case.
• 2:24:28
  OK, so if you want to, I can set it for a bench trial on the
• 2:24:33
  Woodhaven docket preceding that or, or I'll keep it on for May
• 2:24:39
  the 8th. And we can is the furthest we
• 2:24:43
  can go. We'll take that furthest we can
• 2:24:45
  go. Oh, that's.
• 2:24:45
  I mean, that's. All right, so Sir, you
• 2:24:49
  understand you have the constitutional right to a jury
• 2:24:51
  trial. You understand 6 people would be
• 2:24:55
  impaneled right over there and all six would have to find you
• 2:25:00
  guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in order for you to be
• 2:25:02
  convicted. By waiving your right to a jury
• 2:25:04
  trial, I will be the one who will solely decide your guilt or
• 2:25:07
  innocence. Do you understand?
• 2:25:09
  Yes, Sir. Do you still wish to waive your
• 2:25:10
  right to a trial by jury? Yes, Sir.
• 2:25:14
  Anybody force you to do that? I love those looks you're giving
• 2:25:18
  me. Is that what you want to do is
• 2:25:21
  waive your right to a jury trial?
• 2:25:23
  Yes. It doesn't seem like to harsh of
• 2:25:28
  a big charter there. What's the question you're
• 2:25:37
  asking? I don't know what you're asking.
• 2:25:39
  These are not big charges. Yeah.
• 2:25:40
  Just. Your your lawyer will talk to
• 2:25:43
  you about all that. If you want to talk, you already
• 2:25:45
  know what the allegations are. Do you want to do you want to
• 2:25:47
  have a jury trial or not? That's kind of this is where.
• 2:25:49
  We're going with it. You already know what the, the
• 2:25:51
  aid plan is. You you want to you want?
• 2:25:55
  To keep the jury. Trial.
• 2:25:56
  You want to waive or. You want to keep the jury trial?
• 2:25:59
  All right, All right. So you wish to give up your
• 2:26:00
  right to a trial by jury? Sure.
• 2:26:02
  Anybody force you to do that? And that is your signature here
• 2:26:06
  on this document titled waiver trial by jury and election be
• 2:26:08
  tried without jury, Correct. All right.
• 2:26:11
  I'll accept the waiver now. So I don't want to bring in the
• 2:26:19
  prosecutor on May the 8th to tell you the truth.
• 2:26:24
  When when does when does Woodhaven have a docket that
• 2:26:28
  week? I'm sorry, which week was that,
• 2:26:32
  Judge? It's the week of May the 4th we
• 2:26:37
  have. That would be Judge Hessen's
• 2:26:41
  Woodhaven docket on that week. I'm setting this for calling Mr.
• 2:26:47
  Urich, Sir.
• 2:27:05
  What's he what's he get? Let me let me talk to the
• 2:27:07
  prosecutor when he comes in. Good morning, Mr. Urich.
• 2:27:27
  How are you? We are well.
• 2:27:30
  How was the court today? Not bad.
• 2:27:31
  Your appearance. William Urich, on behalf of the
• 2:27:34
  City of Whitney Industry. So we got this.
• 2:27:35
  He's waiving his right to a trial by jury.
• 2:27:38
  I I told you guys last time I wouldn't adjourn it again.
• 2:27:41
  I'm sorry. I'll keep my voice up if you
• 2:27:43
  want, if you can get here at 8:30 in the morning on Judge
• 2:27:51
  Hessen's docket, which is May the 6th, right, Heather?
• 2:28:00
  She's working on something else. I think she said May the 6th.
• 2:28:04
  Then we can take care of it that day and you don't have to come
• 2:28:07
  in on Friday. Is that good?
• 2:28:09
  Is that good with you? Council 6th, 30 AM.
• 2:28:12
  Yeah. Make sure I don't have any
• 2:28:16
  complex. If that's our only option, then
• 2:28:27
  I'm going to have to make it work for it.
• 2:28:32
  Tell you I'm here. Am I here May 13th?
• 2:28:37
  Yes, Yes, you are a judge. Let's just make it on May the
• 2:28:42
  13th. I really appreciate that, Kelly.
• 2:28:44
  And can you do it at 8:30 in the morning that day?
• 2:28:48
  You sure can. So we'll set a bench trial on
• 2:28:51
  May the 8th. I'm sorry, May the 13th.
• 2:28:55
  My apologies. May the 13th at 8:30.
• 2:28:59
  What? What are you looking for him to
• 2:29:01
  do before you reduce this? I don't know anything about
• 2:29:04
  this. He has yet to obtain clearances
• 2:29:08
  that are showing on his driveway and the 19th and the 36th just
• 2:29:15
  clearance. So informs me he's done some due
• 2:29:17
  diligence, but they're still there as of.
• 2:29:19
  April night. So I can only go by what what's
• 2:29:23
  he got to do with? They're just tickets that he has
• 2:29:26
  to pay. They're just fines, you know?
• 2:29:29
  Where does your client work? He owns a smoke shop in in Ohio.
• 2:29:38
  OK, How much did you own tickets?
• 2:29:41
  Do you have any idea that I could not sell before we lost
• 2:29:44
  him a couple 100 bucks, But he said he's paid them all.
• 2:29:47
  I know that he's paid them all. I'm not sure why it's not
• 2:29:49
  plugged yet. Well, he might have paid them
• 2:29:51
  off but not paid the clearance. That might be the easy
• 2:29:54
  resolution. You know, sometimes I don't know
• 2:29:59
  their policies, that if somebody's paid a ticket and
• 2:30:04
  they don't tell them, the clerk doesn't tell them, hey, by the
• 2:30:06
  way, you owe a clearance fee and the suspension is going to stay
• 2:30:08
  on your record. That could be the answer to it.
• 2:30:12
  If he thinks he's paid them off, maybe he just did it but didn't
• 2:30:15
  pay his clearances 45 bucks per ticket.
• 2:30:18
  So anyway, you guys figure it out.
• 2:30:20
  I'll see you back here May 13th. No adjournments, guys.
• 2:30:22
  OK. Thank you.
• 2:30:25
  Thank you. Martin.
• 2:30:28
  Mary Nicole Martin. Which one's yours again?
• 2:30:34
  Yeah. Let me let me call that one
• 2:30:37
  first. Come on up here.
• 2:30:38
  Al riashi wassam Sala. Quiet.
• 2:30:42
  L Riashi 26884-O752. Good morning, Sir.
• 2:30:47
  Navigate. All right.
• 2:30:52
  Your name again. How you doing again?
• 2:30:56
  You're still Underoath. Ask him his name for me.
• 2:31:00
  What's the name that he has? What's the name again?
• 2:31:04
  I'm going to go ahead and sign the discovery order.
• 2:31:11
  Does he stand mute? Wave formal reading.
• 2:31:14
  Yes. I'm entering a not guilty plea.
• 2:31:18
  I want everybody to understand, make sure you tell him this.
• 2:31:21
  I don't know what I don't want to know, but there could be
• 2:31:25
  immigration consequences if he pleads guilty to this charge.
• 2:31:29
  I want him to understand that. So do you understand that?
• 2:31:38
  I've advised him of that. Good enough.
• 2:31:40
  I also do immigration myself that I have advised him of this
• 2:31:43
  consequence. All right, good enough.
• 2:31:47
  So I'll give you a pretrial date.
• 2:31:50
  You're going to have to fill out a petition for a court appointed
• 2:31:52
  lawyer if you want 1 going forward.
• 2:31:56
  And I'm going to send you over to Woodhaven to get
• 2:31:58
  fingerprinted on this by 1:00 PM today.
• 2:32:03
  OK, by 1:00 PM today. So I will go ahead and sign the
• 2:32:09
  order for Prince. I'm going to give you where,
• 2:32:17
  Where has he been, by the way? I'm sorry, Dave, where has he
• 2:32:21
  been? Why didn't he show up on this?
• 2:32:22
  He really, he had a hearing on the 18th of March, I believe,
• 2:32:26
  Jordan. He said that he came in and he
• 2:32:29
  said he spoke. To you.
• 2:32:31
  And then he was he was given today's date.
• 2:32:33
  Comebacks he did. Listen, tell him this.
• 2:32:38
  I want you to tell him what I'm telling you. the Fed failed to
• 2:32:42
  appear on February 18 of 26. He then appeared on March the
• 2:32:54
  4th, but the the clerk wrote the confusion because of language
• 2:33:00
  barrier. I told the staff to get an
• 2:33:07
  Arabic interpreter and to reschedule the arraignment and
• 2:33:09
  pretrial. On March 18th the interpreter
• 2:33:18
  appeared. It was a not a omen, but you
• 2:33:26
  didn't hear why. Didn't.
• 2:33:39
  Focus. Didn't focus.
• 2:33:42
  Didn't focus on what? Because I'm sure.
• 2:33:52
  Keep your voice up for me. I didn't notice that I had a
• 2:33:55
  court gate. I understand there's a language
• 2:34:06
  there. I'm going to give you a $1000
• 2:34:11
  personal bond. You cannot leave the state
• 2:34:16
  without the consent of the court.
• 2:34:19
  You cannot violate any law or ordinance.
• 2:34:24
  You must appear in court as directed.
• 2:34:27
  I will give you that court date in a minute.
• 2:34:32
  I'm also going to order that you not have any contact with
• 2:34:35
  prosecution witnesses and that you not enter 23555 Allen Rd. in
• 2:34:50
  Woodhaven or any other Target store or any other Target store.
• 2:34:59
  Those are your bond conditions. So you have to go over to
• 2:35:05
  Woodhaven and get printed in photographs.
• 2:35:06
  You can't go back to that Target store or any others.
• 2:35:16
  You cannot leave the state without the consent of the court
• 2:35:21
  or violate a law. You must appear in court as
• 2:35:25
  directed. Don't miss again.
• 2:35:29
  I'm signing the discovery order. If you want a lawyer going
• 2:35:33
  forward, you're going to have to fill out a petition for a court
• 2:35:36
  appointed lawyer. I want to move this on.
• 2:35:40
  This has been sitting around here for a while with all these
• 2:35:43
  misdates and confusion. So I will give you a pretrial
• 2:35:48
  date. We doing the 29th, Heather?
• 2:35:51
  Yes, Judge, we can do the 29th at 9:00.
• 2:35:55
  All right, so we're going to do April the 29th at 9:00, April
• 2:36:02
  29th at 9:00. We're going to give you a notice
• 2:36:11
  down the hall two weeks from today, 14 days from today, and
• 2:36:21
  you give them a take the notice. Make sure you show up by 9:00 on
• 2:36:25
  April 29th. If you don't, we're going to
• 2:36:30
  have a problem, OK? And we're going to give you the
• 2:36:37
  order for Prince. We're going to send it over to
• 2:36:39
  Woodhaven. You have to go over there by
• 2:36:41
  1:00. No reason to not just go now.
• 2:36:45
  OK, so you fill out a petition for
• 2:37:00
  court appointed. I always forget that you speak
• 2:37:01
  Samaritic. Yes.

• 2:39:18

• 2:39:41
  Your name. Same thing.
• 2:39:45
  What? Did you talk to the prosecutor
• 2:39:47
  today? Not yet.
• 2:39:50
  Why? Why are you in front of me?
• 2:39:51
  You're supposed to go talk with the prosecutor?
• 2:39:56
  Yeah, Let me. Talk to.
• 2:40:00
  Them I would say, OK, you're all right, you're all right, go out
• 2:40:03
  in the hallway, we'll set you up.
• 2:40:04
  Can I say I love you all TikTok. Oh, geez.
• 2:40:07
  Put it on. Take two.
• 2:40:10
  Yeah, he's here for arraigned free trial, pro permit.
• 2:40:14
  Yeah, but he's already been arraigned on this on February
• 2:40:16
  18th. Oh, I didn't know there the
• 2:40:18
  doctor didn't reflect that. Yeah, that's all right.
• 2:40:21
  I just go by what the doctor says.
• 2:40:23
  Council. What in the world do you have
• 2:40:25
  here, Mr. Eichenban? What do you have?
• 2:40:32
  Good morning, Your honor. Please forgive me.
• 2:40:34
  I have money on express. We were able to strike a plea
• 2:40:37
  year Honor. OK, When I get the file, I'll be
• 2:40:40
  glad to take it. I just don't have the file yet.
• 2:40:43
  Do we have that something expressed that was maybe with
• 2:40:51
  the prosecutor in charge? Yeah.
• 2:40:56
  I see. Is is who's the lawyer for
• 2:40:58
  Salamat Nasser Al Jalam? Anybody let me take a look?
• 2:41:05
  The lawyer for Salamat Al Jalam or his defendant just failed to
• 2:41:08
  appear for sentencing. That was just Mr. Crawford was
• 2:41:12
  on that one. So it looks like he may have
• 2:41:14
  just failed to appear. Well, I'll wait till Mr.
• 2:41:18
  Crawford comes in on that. All right.
• 2:41:28
  Can you grab that one file for me please, and I'll get the
• 2:41:31
  lawyer out of here? Briona Marie Echols, 6W42O5O8
• 2:41:38
  Did I? Did I give you a lawyer, ma'am?
• 2:41:40
  Yeah. OK, well, I have to.
• 2:41:43
  I'll have to wait for him then. I'm sorry.
• 2:41:51
  How you doing, John? 1 of those days?
• 2:41:55
  Just, I don't know, some rain or something.
• 2:41:57
  I know what's going on. Seems like just one, a little
• 2:42:00
  different. All right, as Judge Mcnally's
• 2:42:05
  courtroom experiences, one of those days.
• 2:42:08
  It is emptying out for him, though.
• 2:42:09
  They'll bring in another batch soon, I'm sure.
• 2:42:11
  But let's change it up. Let's go down to Louisiana and
• 2:42:15
  check in on the board. And I'm just going to turn it
• 2:42:19
  over to Missus Ledoux because Mr. Neil's.
• 2:42:22
  Case is going. To sign to her and I think we, I
• 2:42:25
  see we have someone here of the sheet on who that is say about
• 2:42:32
  we want to acknowledge our our observers.
• 2:42:39
  I will say that Jeffrey Neal is the inmate we're referring to.
• 2:42:43
  His DSC number is 118676. Mr. Neal is having a life
• 2:42:51
  sentence for sexual batteries and kidnapping.
• 2:42:55
  He has served apparently around 38 years.
• 2:42:59
  Staff there can correct. Me if I'm.
• 2:43:03
  Wrong. We have a number of family
• 2:43:11
  members in support of Mr. Neil's release on medical parole.
• 2:43:18
  I'll just and we have three who would like to speak when's not
• 2:43:25
  speaking, our Darlene Neil sister, Carletta Young cousin,
• 2:43:33
  Marvis Neil, brother and Wilbert Jefferson cousin.
• 2:43:40
  We'll go ahead and let Fred Neil speak.
• 2:43:44
  Now Mr. Fred Neil can address the panel.
• 2:43:51
  I'm sorry, I don't know which. Yes.
• 2:43:54
  Can you hear me now? Yes.
• 2:43:56
  Thank you. Good morning, everyone.
• 2:44:01
  Morning. I just wanted to speak on behalf
• 2:44:05
  of my nephew and then go to Jeffrey Neil.
• 2:44:12
  I've been going to see him over the last 20 something plus years
• 2:44:18
  up in Angola and I was just with him on last Friday in Angola.
• 2:44:27
  But I just want to say I've gone on routine time and I've seen
• 2:44:31
  the progress in him him over those years in Angola.
• 2:44:38
  First when he became a minister after completing the course work
• 2:44:43
  there with the New Orleans ministry theological side there
• 2:44:49
  and meet the theology meal there in in New Orleans anyhow.
• 2:44:54
  But I I would visit with them and saw him with the ministry
• 2:45:01
  that he had there ain't going before he got hurt the club that
• 2:45:04
  he had. And I've also been there on a
• 2:45:07
  number of occasions with banquets with the with the
• 2:45:11
  group. And like I said, I've just seen
• 2:45:14
  him minister and visit with him and in the Chapel and different
• 2:45:22
  services also and also just went over to visit with them.
• 2:45:26
  The respect that the other enemies, not only in his club,
• 2:45:31
  but the others had with him as he administered in the sail
• 2:45:34
  blocks over the years. And so it's been a actually it's
• 2:45:43
  just a little over a year ago when he had to scrub at Angola
• 2:45:48
  and he was touch and go there a while when he was here in Baton
• 2:45:52
  Rouge. And I landed late, but God was
• 2:45:57
  able to bring him through that situation.
• 2:45:58
  And like I said, he's come a long way in the last year with
• 2:46:03
  the scroll that he had. But I, I just like say, yeah, he
• 2:46:08
  even before that, he's changed the individual.
• 2:46:11
  And I think he was doing a lot of good with the inmates there
• 2:46:15
  in Angola, preaching the word of God and just been a blessing to
• 2:46:19
  them and also blessing to the family.
• 2:46:22
  And so I think he deserves to be out of Angola now.
• 2:46:31
  And his family would definitely take care of him or God take
• 2:46:35
  care of once one once if he's a rogue, that'll be that.
• 2:46:42
  That helps us to understand. We can go on now to Curtis
• 2:46:45
  Banks, the cousin. Let's see.
• 2:46:53
  Can I get unmuted? Can you hear me now?
• 2:46:56
  Yes. OK.
• 2:46:58
  Well, good morning, panel. Good morning, everyone.
• 2:47:01
  I'm Curtis Banks. I am a cousin through the
• 2:47:05
  marriage of Sheila, who is the first cousin of Jeffrey.
• 2:47:09
  I'm the city past the first Church of God in Christ here in
• 2:47:12
  Huntsville, AL and also I'm a retired NASA scientist for the
• 2:47:20
  last 30 years. But I have known Jeffrey since
• 2:47:23
  around 1985 when I visit my wife family there in Bastrop.
• 2:47:30
  Since Jeffrey and incarceration my wife and I had visit him many
• 2:47:35
  times over the years. We always slacked off during the
• 2:47:38
  pandemic. However, Jeffrey, in my mind,
• 2:47:42
  what? I.
• 2:47:42
  Have seen in him is a man of God what I have seen in him.
• 2:47:46
  He spent most of his time driven transforming the lives of young
• 2:47:52
  men with the gospel of Jesus Christ and I believe only a
• 2:47:57
  transformed life can affect the lives of others to walk in the
• 2:48:01
  image of Christ. What I believe is that at the
• 2:48:04
  age of 67 and him being limited physically, I believe that
• 2:48:09
  Reverend Neal will. Not turn his.
• 2:48:11
  Back on his Savior, I believe that he's committed to the Lord
• 2:48:18
  and I believe he's committed to the gospel.
• 2:48:21
  I believe that allowing him to go home is the best thing that
• 2:48:25
  can be done for him at this time in this stage of his life.
• 2:48:30
  So I, I like cousin Fred. I do believe that the best thing
• 2:48:35
  to do is to allow him to leave Angola.
• 2:48:40
  Thank you, and May God bless you.
• 2:48:43
  Thank you so much, Mr. And now we also have Marvis Neil.
• 2:48:48
  I believe that's your brother. Yes.
• 2:48:54
  Can you hear me? Yes.
• 2:48:56
  Yes. I'm Marvis Neil.
• 2:48:58
  The Jeffrey's younger brother, Jeffrey Neil has always been a
• 2:49:05
  very important part of my life. He has been incarcerated a
• 2:49:09
  number of years and like my uncle and my cousin spoke before
• 2:49:14
  him, he has turned his life over to Christ, giving his life to
• 2:49:18
  God and like my uncle said, ministered to silver inmates in
• 2:49:23
  Angola. And every time I'm able to speak
• 2:49:27
  with my brother, every conversation since the centers
• 2:49:32
  around how he's changed his life.
• 2:49:36
  He doesn't have a woe as me attitude.
• 2:49:40
  He always speaks positively when I had the time to visit him at
• 2:49:46
  my mother's funeral. Very touching for me and the
• 2:49:50
  rest of the family. And like my Uncle Fred said, if
• 2:49:55
  through release on parole, he has a great support system, his
• 2:50:00
  family, three brothers, sisters, many aunts, cousins and
• 2:50:04
  everything that'll be there for him.
• 2:50:07
  So on his behalf, on my family behalf, we ask that you do grant
• 2:50:14
  him medical parole. We are blessed to have not lost
• 2:50:20
  him during his medical injury, so we just think that is the
• 2:50:24
  best course of action for him. And I thank you and the Parole
• 2:50:28
  Board for allowing me to speak. Thank you.
• 2:50:31
  Thank you very much. We appreciate that.
• 2:50:34
  At this time we would ask Jeremy to give us a synopsis of the
• 2:50:43
  medical condition that Mister Neal finds something at this
• 2:50:47
  time. Yes ma'am, Mr. New, he's 67,
• 2:50:50
  he's got a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
• 2:50:53
  pre diabetes and then in April of 2025 suffered a pretty
• 2:50:58
  catastrophic stroke which end up leaving him paralyzed on his
• 2:51:03
  right side. He came back to Angola April
• 2:51:07
  15th of 25 then with a what they call a post and ADNR do not
• 2:51:15
  resuscitate because of the severity of the stroke.
• 2:51:19
  He has end up improving to where the pig tube that was put in for
• 2:51:24
  feeding has been able to be removed.
• 2:51:27
  But he still requires assistance with feeding and despite having
• 2:51:32
  vigorous physical therapy while incarcerated he still has right
• 2:51:37
  side of neck leg which requires him to have basically total
• 2:51:40
  care. He's not able to get out of the
• 2:51:43
  bed without assistance. He does have some left sided
• 2:51:47
  use, but he's not able to balance himself well enough to
• 2:51:51
  go from this bed to the wheelchair, from a wheelchair to
• 2:51:54
  the move, or be able to shower himself without assistance.
• 2:51:58
  He's also had residual dysphasia, aphasia.
• 2:52:02
  He has some difficulty articulating what he wants to
• 2:52:05
  send, but during my time taking care of him over the last year
• 2:52:09
  he's always been pretty pleasant motivated to try to get better.
• 2:52:14
  But unfortunately he's probably reached his maximum physical
• 2:52:18
  gain after having this. True, that's going to require
• 2:52:21
  total care for the rest of his life so the feeding tube is no
• 2:52:29
  longer required. Don't have to correct?
• 2:52:32
  Yes. OK, I'd like to ask Wharton.
• 2:52:38
  January 23, his disciplinary report that was prior to him
• 2:52:48
  being bed bound by the stroke, what was the nature of that?
• 2:52:54
  It was for a three which is defiance and a 21 which is an
• 2:52:59
  aggravated sex event. Before that his last report was
• 2:53:04
  in 2009. So what that's a 21-D and that I
• 2:53:10
  understand that staff are non inmate.
• 2:53:13
  So was that on the above date and approximate time they were
• 2:53:18
  making rounds at the gate, CC gate when offender Neil smacked
• 2:53:24
  me on my rear. So he touched an officer's
• 2:53:27
  behind every OK. I I just wanted to make sure it
• 2:53:33
  was not more involved with that. OK I don't know if he has
• 2:53:38
  completed his sexual offender treatment basement work that and
• 2:53:43
  I don't know if you'll have all that the anger management and
• 2:53:46
  living imbalance and Bible college as well.
• 2:53:52
  There is no victim opposed in this case Yeah, other members
• 2:54:02
  you have I do I have a couple questions so his.
• 2:54:07
  We note in his. Record a mental health level of
• 2:54:10
  care 3. Can you tell us what that
• 2:54:12
  requires? So Mr. Was the psychiatric
• 2:54:17
  mental health nurse practitioner rounds on him on the nursing
• 2:54:21
  unit if I'm not mistaken, I believe it's more depression.
• 2:54:24
  I don't know how long they've actually been following him
• 2:54:29
  throughout his state, but since his stroke is whenever I became
• 2:54:33
  aware of Mr. Nil at Angola taking care of him, that he
• 2:54:38
  would have episodes of of, I guess not wanting to, I guess,
• 2:54:48
  try to communicate. And I don't know if that was
• 2:54:50
  just for the fact that he was having a difficult time trying
• 2:54:54
  to articulate what he wanted to, but they are still following him
• 2:54:59
  and they do have him as a medical level here at 3 this
• 2:55:01
  month, which which means they that he's seen how often by
• 2:55:05
  mental health. Let me see.
• 2:55:08
  If. Usually.
• 2:55:09
  Every 100. Every three months.
• 2:55:11
  Every. 3. Months.
• 2:55:14
  Sorry, so his plan also would be has Capital Oaks accepted him as
• 2:55:24
  well? Yes ma'am.
• 2:55:26
  They've also said that they would accept him upon receipt of
• 2:55:30
  his social. Security card.
• 2:55:32
  So I know JD surgeon has a applied for all of this, so
• 2:55:37
  we're just waiting to get those cards.
• 2:55:38
  But they they have said they would take both of the
• 2:55:40
  offenders. Because I.
• 2:55:43
  Did hear some conversation by family?
• 2:55:45
  That. It seems as though their
• 2:55:47
  expectation would be that he'd go go home based on the However,
• 2:55:52
  based on what I've seen in the record.
• 2:55:55
  And on the. Video and heard today.
• 2:55:57
  I believe that a nursing home setting is probably the most
• 2:56:01
  suitable place for him. But and and I.
• 2:56:04
  All I mean I could be wrong. I'll have to look at this.
• 2:56:06
  Again, but I want to say per. Policy with the paroles and all,
• 2:56:09
  they go to a nursing facility to continue care.
• 2:56:13
  So a nursing home is where we are wanting to send him and the
• 2:56:17
  family can visit there. OK, All right.
• 2:56:21
  I have no other questions. I have no questions.
• 2:56:27
  I'm. Ready I I will my vote is going
• 2:56:35
  to be to grant medical parole. However, I want to note it for
• 2:56:40
  the record that should Mr. Neal and I know this is the policy of
• 2:56:46
  of the department, if his health improves in in a way that he
• 2:56:51
  begins to be able to ambulate that he'd be returned to the
• 2:56:55
  custody of VOC. So my vote is grant the nursing
• 2:57:03
  to the nursing home capital. X nursing home.
• 2:57:05
  Mr. Tillis. My vote also has to grant to the
• 2:57:08
  nursing. Home.
• 2:57:09
  Right. And my vote also is is to grant
• 2:57:12
  to the Capitol Oaks Nursing Home rehab.
• 2:57:15
  Center. And rehab center in Baton Rouge
• 2:57:17
  with the stipulation that. Misses.
• 2:57:20
  Ladue Articulate. So.
• 2:57:23
  Thank you so much for the the hard work and putting together.
• 2:57:25
  The packets. For us in the videos, we
• 2:57:27
  appreciate it. Thank you thank you, thank you.
• 2:57:30
  Today it's 1014 so I think they made the right move there.
• 2:57:35
  You can tell me what you think in the chat, but he needs to be
• 2:57:40
  dealt with either by family or by some kind of professional
• 2:57:43
  care. I personally would have
• 2:57:45
  preferred him to go to family, but either way it's better than
• 2:57:48
  a prison hospital. We dealt with my wife's father
• 2:57:52
  who had a stroke with similar symptoms to what they were
• 2:57:55
  describing there and he had aphasia.
• 2:57:58
  And if you're not familiar with aphasia is basically it affects
• 2:58:01
  your speech center and it greatly limits what you're able
• 2:58:05
  to say. My wife's father was basically
• 2:58:08
  reduced to not much more than God damn.
• 2:58:12
  That was about all he could get out most times.
• 2:58:15
  And we took care of him for seven years.
• 2:58:18
  So seven years of God damn over and over and over and it had a
• 2:58:24
  different meaning every time. So it's tough.
• 2:58:28
  So whoever takes care of him, I hope he gets the care he needs
• 2:58:32
  and I hope that he's able to find peace in his final days
• 2:58:36
  because it is not easy. Okie, Dokie.
• 2:58:38
  Let's go back to Judge Simpson. If you can unmute.
• 2:58:45

• 3:10:21
  ninety and bound continued. Your Honor, I have a question.
• 3:10:26
  Yes, ma'am. I'm a graduate student at
• 3:10:28
  Michigan and I'm proctoring an exam that day.
• 3:10:31
  I'm wondering if there's a way that I can come, I think either
• 3:10:36
  later in May or if I need to submit something.
• 3:10:44
  What's what's the exam in? It is in education.
• 3:10:51
  In education. Yes.
• 3:10:54
  Education at Michigan. Really.
• 3:10:58
  Yeah. Really, I don't know that sounds
• 3:11:01
  like I don't think that's real. It it might not be Maryland,
• 3:11:06
  just this this pretty good. What it might not be as good as
• 3:11:09
  you know. Well, it's not as good as
• 3:11:11
  Maryland, but I didn't know they had they got graduation, did
• 3:11:15
  they? They have a graduate program.
• 3:11:17
  I'm told they do. Oh, that's what I'm told.
• 3:11:19
  Yes. I.
• 3:11:21
  Didn't know that. Yes, we do, you know.
• 3:11:25
  If you're learning. Something every day.
• 3:11:27
  Yes. OK, she wants.
• 3:11:33
  Where are you going to be when you grow up?
• 3:11:36
  A professor, Hopefully, Sir. Wow.
• 3:11:41
  I did that for a while. No, all right, OK, since they
• 3:11:48
  hold class May 6th will May 20th.
• 3:11:52
  Work. Yes, that will work.
• 3:11:54
  OK, young lady. We'll adjourn it to May 20th,
• 3:11:58
  2026, 9:00 AM. Thank you so much.
• 3:12:02
  All right. You're welcome.
• 3:12:03
  Thank you. Take care.
• 3:12:08
  Work. How's the day?
• 3:12:08
  All right, let's change it up, my friends.
• 3:12:11
  Go back down to Texas and see what's up with Judge Stevens.
• 3:12:14
  Again, an attorney to represent you here in an indigent fashion.
• 3:12:21
  That is, I find that you were unable to afford one and we'll
• 3:12:26
  get somebody to help you on this.
• 3:12:36
  You didn't add up your expenses and your assets.
• 3:12:39
  I'll do that for you. You know your expenses outweigh
• 3:13:25
  your assets, so you're in the dark, you're in the negative,
• 3:13:32
  which is why we're going to help you.
• 3:13:33
  But what are you doing about that?
• 3:13:37
  You can't be just losing money every month, right?
• 3:13:42
  But you are. Well, OK, how do?
• 3:13:50
  Let me ask this. The father of the children
• 3:13:55
  doesn't provide anything. What did you what have you done
• 3:13:58
  about that? Have you done anything to try to
• 3:14:01
  to say about child support? Yes, ma'am.
• 3:14:03
  What did they say? I got a paper in the mail the
• 3:14:05
  other day that they're opening a Kansas.
• 3:14:08
  OK, good. All right.
• 3:14:09
  See that through. OK.
• 3:14:12
  Two people are responsible for a child generally and they got
• 3:14:19
  they're going to be held responsible on this on my watch.
• 3:14:23
  OK, because that's the way it's supposed to be.
• 3:14:30
  OK, get a resetting here. And what do we want to do on
• 3:14:38
  this review? A review, a review?
• 3:14:40
  And how long do you think? 3 or 4.
• 3:14:45
  Weeks just to give the new attorney Tom quo, which is fine
• 3:14:47
  to give the new attorney Tom and we'll get somebody to help you.
• 3:14:51
  There's I see somebody right there that's a real capable man.
• 3:14:57
  Mr. Adams stand when he's not sleeping.
• 3:15:02
  He's. No, he's he takes care of his
• 3:15:05
  business and he's got a lot of he he's he's a great success and
• 3:15:10
  we're lucky to have people like him to help folks like you.
• 3:15:15
  It's Mr. Adams football, a sports athlete, a great athlete
• 3:15:20
  from Port Arthur, where I was born.
• 3:15:22
  And I'm a good walking telephone number of internations.
• 3:15:27
  Easter, we ran track. I never knew what he looked like
• 3:15:30
  in the face. I could only recognize him from
• 3:15:33
  the back because he was I I ran fast, but he was, he's faster.
• 3:15:43
  Actually, his son is a better athlete.
• 3:15:47
  All right. You absolutely, Lexus says.
• 3:15:50
  His mother's a gifted athlete. He blames his son's athleticism
• 3:15:57
  on on his wife, who I understand is a very lovely lady who's a
• 3:16:02
  great athlete, too. But Lexington's fine.
• 3:16:06
  Thomas Baker. Next to you.
• 3:16:11
  I don't believe Mr. Baker's here.
• 3:16:12
  Well. Let's see.
• 3:16:13
  Thomas Baker, 25 CR 1807, is called.
• 3:16:17
  That's fine. There is no answer in the
• 3:16:18
  courtroom. I asked the bait to call into
• 3:16:20
  the hall for Thomas Baker. This is 25 CR 1807.
• 3:16:28
  This looks like a Is this an initial appearance?
• 3:16:32
  Langston. I'd.
• 3:16:35
  There's nothing checked off here.
• 3:16:37
  Last court date we had I don't. Believe it was a show.
• 3:16:39
  He's medical PR box, yes. All.
• 3:16:50
  Right. There is no response to Thomas
• 3:16:53
  Charles Baker here in the courtroom, no response to that
• 3:16:56
  named Thomas Baker in the courthouse, in the outside area,
• 3:17:03
  outside the door, in the hallway.
• 3:17:06
  In cause #25 CR 1807, Mr. Baker is charged with the second
• 3:17:10
  degree felony of burglary of inhabitation and there are three
• 3:17:14
  prior convictions that are alleged as well in this
• 3:17:19
  indictment. He is facing habitual felon
• 3:17:21
  status, no less than 25 years in prison up to life imprisonment.
• 3:17:26
  He has failed to appear. A warrant shall be issued for
• 3:17:30
  his arrest. No bond since he is unable to be
• 3:17:37
  found. When he is discovered and found
• 3:17:40
  placed into custody, then we'll bring him up here and discuss
• 3:17:45
  why he failed to appear and what we can do to ensure that he will
• 3:17:49
  appear in the future. Akeem, Richard, please 25 CR
• 3:17:54
  1347 Akeem. And we've got clients here too.
• 3:18:08
  All right. You are Mr. Richards here in 25
• 3:18:12
  CR 1247 and Mr. Adams is representing you.
• 3:18:16
  As you know, you're charged with a state jail felony of evading
• 3:18:19
  arrest or detention, but you've got prior state jail, two other
• 3:18:26
  state jail felony convictions of burglary and illegal possession
• 3:18:29
  of a controlled substance. And that was out of this court.
• 3:18:35
  And I believe those other two state jail felonies will up the
• 3:18:40
  punishment range. You would be looking at up to
• 3:18:43
  two years if there weren't other prior convictions, up to two
• 3:18:47
  years in the state jail. But I believe this is enhances
• 3:18:51
  it to a third degree felony punishment.
• 3:18:54
  It's a state jail felony punished as a third degree,
• 3:18:57
  which means you were looking at no less than two nor more than
• 3:19:00
  10 years confinement in prison. You're punished based upon the
• 3:19:05
  circumstances of a crime and criminal history.
• 3:19:08
  That's the part of the two parts of the equation that's used in
• 3:19:12
  under law. That's why it's always good not
• 3:19:15
  to commit another crime. Don't commit one to begin with,
• 3:19:19
  but if you do, don't commit another one or else it gets
• 3:19:24
  tacked on to higher punishment range for a subsequent offense.
• 3:19:30
  OK, what to do today, Judge? I'm going to the outlook being
• 3:19:35
  two years of state jail. He's you're looking at up to 10
• 3:19:40
  years. Do you understand?
• 3:19:42
  OK, understand. All right, two years is the
• 3:19:44
  minimum. Mr. Jeffers, I did give you a
• 3:19:50
  police report back and all that. After looking at the police
• 3:19:54
  report in the two years, ultimately you won't be.
• 3:19:57
  Also, you're not eligible for probation in front of a jury
• 3:20:00
  because you have, OK, one or more felony convictions.
• 3:20:05
  They're offering you the minimum wage or you can go to trial.
• 3:20:10
  And when you go to trial, it's for a jury to decide and you
• 3:20:14
  don't get probation. Why not?
• 3:20:17
  What are we doing? Probably not.
• 3:20:18
  I'll look at it but. Well, what we just asked, Judge,
• 3:20:23
  is, with the state themselves possible?
• 3:20:25
  1244 and she said she wouldn't look at it. 12:44 Well, it's my
• 3:20:31
  call right at the end of the day, but this is his fourth
• 3:20:41
  criminal case. He's been convicted.
• 3:20:44
  And here's the deal is he's already been convicted of
• 3:20:47
  evasive arrest or detention. You know, it has consequences.
• 3:20:52
  You, I mean, you're not only committing new crimes, you're
• 3:20:58
  committing the same. What do you want to do that
• 3:21:05
  y'all? Y'all got to decide.
• 3:21:08
  You are two years ago set for trial.
• 3:21:14
  If y'all don't make it set for trial, no deal.
• 3:21:17
  No deal. We just let a we'll let a jury
• 3:21:20
  decide get that. Let's get that thing fast.
• 3:21:23
  I want to get that prioritized because I don't we got we're
• 3:21:28
  going to get this thing to trial.
• 3:21:30
  And there are noted there the court's not accepting a deal.
• 3:21:34
  You had your chance. OK Lace Christian was reset.
• 3:21:37
  Brendan Harding is reset. Then we go to Hey, Brian,
• 3:21:44
  Michael Colton. Get that on a fast track please.
• 3:21:57
  Then it's it'll be first to try and noted.
• 3:22:02
  No deal. I don't accept the help.
• 3:22:04
  He had a chance perfect. What are we going to do on
• 3:22:21
  Poulton Barrera? Better to dismissal on that
• 3:22:26
  motion. OK, So what does that mean?
• 3:22:33
  He just continues on probation. Is that you?
• 3:22:39
  Yes, Sir. They just dismissed the motion.
• 3:22:42
  So anything else that keeps him in jail?
• 3:22:45
  No, but that's maybe. As far as?
• 3:22:48
  OK, well, in this case, the motion was dismissed.
• 3:22:51
  You're still on probation. Yes, Sir.
• 3:22:53
  OK, here. Thank you.
• 3:22:55
  When it gets to me, I'll sign it.
• 3:22:57
  That's all we need. Taylor Jackson.
• 3:23:10
  Whoa. Why cases shorten the day?
• 3:23:32
  Well, these of course are most serious.
• 3:23:40
  I'm looking at 24 CR 2260 you're charged with the first degree
• 3:23:45
  felony of sexual aggravated sexual assault of a child, which
• 3:23:52
  carries with it up to life in prison. 24 CR 2261 another
• 3:24:00
  aggravated sexual assault of a child, which again is a
• 3:24:05
  punishment range up to life in prison. 24 CR 2262 is a another
• 3:24:14
  indictment for aggravated sexual assault of a child younger than
• 3:24:19
  14 which carries with the life in prison. 24 CR 2263, a fourth
• 3:24:29
  aggravated sexual assault of a child, which carries with it up
• 3:24:32
  to life in prison. And then we have a state jail
• 3:24:40
  felony unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in 25 CR 7 seven,
• 3:24:45
  which carries with it up to two years in the state jail.
• 3:24:51
  Four life sentences and sentence up to two years as punishment
• 3:24:58
  range in these cases. Yeah, it's a simple
• 3:25:05
  announcement. Yes, Sir.
• 3:25:09
  What I'm respectfully requesting is one more announcement pass in
• 3:25:13
  the negotiations with Miss Moore.
• 3:25:16
  Miss Moore is going to make a request to see if there is a
• 3:25:21
  possible way to resolve this without trial.
• 3:25:24
  Wait a second. It's a year and a half old.
• 3:25:27
  Well, it's a year and a half old.
• 3:25:29
  These are supposed to be fast tracked.
• 3:25:31
  Well, this is. I don't do that.
• 3:25:34
  Last announcement. Between last announcement and
• 3:25:37
  now, my mother-in-law died and. My wife went to the hospital.
• 3:25:40
  I had a chance. A year and a half.

  I mean, we all deal with that and we're entitled to deal with
• 3:26:14
  it, you know, with the families. God bless it.
• 3:26:17
  Thank you. You got you got slack with me on
• 3:26:20
  that. But here's the deal is we're

  the agreement? If I follow this agreement, you
• 3:31:16
  have no right of appeal. Yes.
• 3:31:36
  How do you plead to this? Guilty or not guilty?
• 3:31:39
  Guilty. Are you pleading guilty
• 3:31:40
  voluntarily and because you are guilty?
• 3:31:44
  Yes, Sir. Show you what's marked as

  State's exhibit one. Did you sign that document,
• 3:32:06
  understand it, discuss it with your attorney?

  Are the contents all true and correct?

  admitted among other things, this state you are mentally
• 3:32:17
  competent to enter your guilty plea.
• 3:32:19

• 3:32:23
  to you. You pleaded, you were guilty of
• 3:32:24
  the crime charged and in this case it's applicable.
• 3:32:28
  Any lesser included offenses such as what you pleaded guilty
• 3:32:32
  to the attempted burglary, a Class A misdemeanor.
• 3:32:35
  You were giving up your rights to a jury trial and the rights
• 3:32:38
  to be a parents confrontation, cross examination of witnesses
• 3:32:41
  totally satisfied with the representation provided by your

  It states so help you God. Yes Sir.
• 3:32:47
  States exhibit one part of the record for all purposes pre

  sentence report is waived. Yes Sir.
• 3:32:52
  I'm going to follow this agreement and find that you are

  mentally competent to enter your guilty plea to this lesser
• 3:33:00
  included offense of attempted burglary of a building and you
• 3:33:05
  were mentally competent to do so.

  You understand and appreciate the consequences of pleading

• 3:33:11
  supporting your guilty plea from State's Exhibit 1 admitted if it

  You would advise sentence to confinement in the county jail
• 3:33:29
  for 90 days and you will be given credit for all time you

  how much that is. But 62 days?
• 3:33:39
  He's at 6062 years. OK.
• 3:33:41
  Do you understand what has happened today, Sir?
• 3:33:45
  Yes, Sir. Anything else?
• 3:33:47
  OK, That is all. Thank you.
• 3:33:48
  Thank you guys. On Copeland Barrera, there is a
• 3:34:09
  motion to dismiss before the court.
• 3:34:11
  I'm signing that. I've submitted another one of
• 3:34:33
  Flores as well. All righty, friends.
• 3:34:47
  Well, he's between contestants. Let's switch it up.
• 3:34:50
  We'll go back to Judge Aquilina. And Judge Aquiline is muted.
• 3:35:28
  So let's see if we can bump this forward a little bit or a little
• 3:35:32
  bit in the way back machine. Don't do perjury.
• 3:35:36
  Yes. Thank you.
• 3:35:37
  I put your hand on. Have you taken any medication
• 3:35:39
  yesterday or today? No.
• 3:35:41
  Are you supposed to be on medication?
• 3:35:43
  You're not. On.
• 3:35:43
  No any sign of fever, COVID or other illness.
• 3:35:46
  No. And we had an opportunity to
• 3:35:48
  speak with Mr. Pridelson. Yes.
• 3:35:51
  Now Mr. Palmer, you had him for plea and he has since moved on
• 3:35:57
  to a higher position in another county.
• 3:36:00
  So you have Mr. Filestone. Are you all right with that?
• 3:36:04
  All right, then, Council, I'm going to add Mr. Palmer was here
• 3:36:11
  for plea and Mr. Filestone is here for sentencing throughout
• 3:36:14
  the report. Any objection?
• 3:36:17
  None of that. For the fence, you know.
• 3:36:18
  No, Your Honor. I've changed on the cover page
• 3:37:04
  basic information sheet. I don't see it in the evaluation
• 3:37:07
  plan and now I'm moving on to. There are.
• 3:37:16
  Events, yes. It is on the top line of the
• 3:37:18
  evaluation plan on page. Oh wait, I.
• 3:37:21
  Totally missed that.
• 3:37:36
  All right, thank you. And then moving.
• 3:37:42
  On to the 6th. Instant.
• 3:37:44
  Events. Those are trying to press.
• 3:37:50
  The so we all have names, so I think we're good.
• 3:37:53
  Any other corrections, additions, all issues?
• 3:37:55
  Not to the body. Not to the body hero.
• 3:37:57
  Thank you. Do we have any victim who wishes
• 3:38:02
  to speak? I don't believe so, Your Honor,
• 3:38:05
  but I do have some changes to the guidelines all.
• 3:38:07
  Right. Thank you.
• 3:38:08
  And what about? Somebody.
• 3:38:11
  Not to the body of Your Honor, just the guidelines.
• 3:38:13
  Yes, the guidelines. So PRV 5 is currently scored at
• 3:38:17
  10 points. I believe it'd be appropriate to
• 3:38:19
  be scored at 2:00. I've talked to defense and
• 3:38:22
  defense is in agreement in regards to that.
• 3:38:24
  That's correct, right? PRV 5 is 2, your honor.
• 3:38:29
  Additionally, OV-10 is currently scored at 10 points.
• 3:38:32
  OV-10. Your Honor is in regards to the
• 3:38:36
  vulnerability of the exploitation of a vulnerable
• 3:38:39
  victim. It's currently scored at 10
• 3:38:41
  points, however I believe it should be scored at 15. 15
• 3:38:44
  states of predatory conduct was involved.
• 3:38:47
  Predatory conduct is is defined Your Honor as pre offense
• 3:38:51
  conduct directed at a victim or a law enforcement officer.
• 3:38:55
  Posing as a. Potential victim for the primary
• 3:38:58
  purpose of victimization. And your Honor?
• 3:39:00
  If you read the. Description.
• 3:39:04
  Of the offense narrative, it explains that the defendant in
• 3:39:09
  this matter, Mr. Piadoro actually provided the victims
• 3:39:13
  with of controlled substances as well as alcohol at the time of
• 3:39:18
  the incident of marijuana and alcohol, the Peep, and this
• 3:39:25
  ultimately ended up with her being intoxicated and falling
• 3:39:27
  asleep and awakening with the defendant being on.
• 3:39:30
  Top of her. Your Honor, I would argue that
• 3:39:32
  that shows predatory conduct. So I believe that OB tension
• 3:39:35
  scored. 15. And also the report included
• 3:39:39
  that. She had consumed.
• 3:39:41
  Alcohol and marijuana she got. From.
• 3:39:44
  That's that was my argument. Both of that against.
• 3:39:48
  Don't I leave that to the? Court it is 15.
• 3:39:54
  Additional mortgage. Changes.
• 3:39:56
  One more change, Your Honor. OB 12 is currently supported 0
• 3:40:00
  points. That is for contemporaneous
• 3:40:02
  felonious criminal acts. I believe that OB 12 should be
• 3:40:06
  supported 5 points. There was a additional charge,
• 3:40:09
  Your Honor, of. The costing and minor for moral
• 3:40:13
  purposes. That.
• 3:40:15
  Is a crime against a person, so I believe that OB 12 should
• 3:40:18
  score to five points. No objection to that here OB. 12
• 3:40:22
  is five. What is the new total for PRV?
• 3:40:26
  Total. PRVS are 12, is that a level?
• 3:40:30
  That would not change the level. All right.
• 3:40:32
  Thank you. And total OVS is 45 and that all
• 3:40:37
  does not change the guidelines. Either.
• 3:40:39
  All right. Did you have any additional?
• 3:40:41
  Corrections. All right.
• 3:40:43
  Let me change basic information sheet
• 3:40:57
  please. I've changed basic information
• 3:40:59
  sheet. We can look under the name
• 3:41:03
  Recommendation Narrative. The recommendation narrative
• 3:41:18
  scores only 1010 mentions it. Change it to 15.
• 3:41:22
  All right, I think everything's
• 3:41:36
  consistent. Anything further or is there
• 3:41:41
  anyone to speak? I I will.
• 3:41:43
  Double check again. Your Honor, I did.
• 3:41:45
  Check prior to this case being called.
• 3:41:47
  Are Leah or Andrew here and wish to be done?
• 3:41:53
  There is no victim. Present.
• 3:41:55
  But you can make a statement. I'm looking at Zoom.
• 3:41:59
  I also don't see any of the names.
• 3:42:05
  All right, thank you. I'm gonna have the people that
• 3:42:10
  would you like me to know, I guess, Your Honor, I believe the
• 3:42:14
  recommendation is appropriate given the circumstances in this
• 3:42:16
  case. This is a case where Mr.
• 3:42:19
  Theodoro took advantage of someone that he considered like
• 3:42:23
  a daughter to him, gave this individual, gave Aaliyah drugs
• 3:42:28
  and alcohol in order to sedate her and abused her.
• 3:42:34
  Your Honor, this is, I do not know what was going through Mr.
• 3:42:39
  Theodoro's head, but I do believe that a sentencing of 60
• 3:42:44
  to 180 months of Michigan. Department.
• 3:42:46
  Corrections. Is appropriate given the
• 3:42:47
  circumstances. In this case.
• 3:42:49
  Thank you. Councillor.
• 3:42:52
  Yes, Your Honor, the agreement. Was for 60.
• 3:42:55
  Months Kilo Lu. Sentencing.
• 3:42:57
  At the. Minimum at the time of
• 3:42:58
  sentencing. Your Honor, No probation is
• 3:43:01
  recommending 60. Months.
• 3:43:04
  I would ask. That that be adopted.
• 3:43:05
  I think he understands the poor choices that he made here.
• 3:43:09
  It's going to obviously have to, so it's time to register as a
• 3:43:13
  sex offender for the remainder of his lifetime.
• 3:43:16
  I think he understands all those things and is willing to do the
• 3:43:19
  necessary. Steps.
• 3:43:20
  To learn from those poor. Choices.
• 3:43:23
  Here around or ask that the. Agreement.
• 3:43:25
  To be followed. Today.
• 3:43:26
  Thank you. Sir, anything you want me to
• 3:43:29
  know? No.
• 3:43:34
  Says it all. Kind of, doesn't it?
• 3:43:36
  Not even I'm sorry. What do you want me to say?
• 3:43:39
  I don't want you to say anything.
• 3:43:41
  I would hope that when you ruin a young girl's life, you give
• 3:43:45
  her alcohol, marijuana and have. Sex.
• 3:43:47
  With an underage minor who cannot give permission that you
• 3:43:51
  would. At least.
• 3:43:53
  Be remorseful on my behalf. I really didn't do that.
• 3:44:06
  Then why are we here? So because I didn't have
• 3:44:09
  confidence with my lawyer and take it to trial, so I took the
• 3:44:11
  plea. So yeah, an excellent lawyer.
• 3:44:14
  We have a good record made at the plea.
• 3:44:22
  You had a right to go to trial if you thought you did not do
• 3:44:27
  anything wrong. If you read the full report, she
• 3:44:30
  also gave 3-4 different stories, changing her stories.
• 3:44:34
  And then she was defending me in the first story.
• 3:44:36
  I feel like somebody convinced her to say what she said.
• 3:44:40
  She's 15. That's.
• 3:44:44
  I. Understand how you feel, but I
• 3:44:46
  can tell you that Mister Palmer has no qualms about going to
• 3:44:50
  trial. No palms so you can blame your
• 3:44:54
  lawyer. That now is an.
• 3:44:56
  Appellate issue. I've heard nothing.
• 3:44:58
  In regard to. A reason to withdraw invalid no
• 3:45:02
  kindness plea. So.
• 3:45:09
  Let me just read for you any of the
• 3:45:23
  record. It was reported that defendants
• 3:45:29
  supplied her with alcohol and marijuana in the past.
• 3:45:34
  The victim stated she was sitting on the couch and she was
• 3:45:37
  consuming alcohol and smoking marijuana that she got from
• 3:45:40
  defendant. The victim reported being very
• 3:45:44
  intoxicated and fell asleep on the couch.
• 3:45:46
  She was awoken by defendant being on top of her.
• 3:45:50
  The victim reported she attempted to get him off of her
• 3:45:53
  but she couldn't. She again recalled feeling very
• 3:45:56
  tired and that she could feel him inside of her, later defined
• 3:46:02
  as his penis was in her vagina. The victim reported being very
• 3:46:07
  scared and she did not know what was happening, she just wanted
• 3:46:11
  to go back to sleep. The following morning, she had a
• 3:46:14
  stomach ache. And was throwing up.
• 3:46:16
  In addition, defendant reported that if he was to be released in
• 3:46:20
  jail today, he would be homeless and he has no contact with his
• 3:46:23
  family anymore. There are other parts that might
• 3:46:28
  be worthwhile reading, but you certainly took advantage of her
• 3:46:34
  family and the 15 year old. There is no evidence.
• 3:46:41
  In front of this court. To not believe her or to
• 3:46:44
  withdraw the plea. So I will not be doing that.
• 3:46:48
  Does appear that you have behaved during this time between
• 3:46:51
  claim sentencing? So I will.
• 3:46:53
  Honor the plea agreement. You are remanded to the Michigan
• 3:47:00
  Department of Corrections for 60 months, 280 months with credit
• 3:47:04
  for 654 days served. You will pay in primary to
• 3:47:08
  assessment. You have $130.00.
• 3:47:11
  I'm waiting to finance house attorney fees.
• 3:47:13
  You are indigent for that. You will pay a 60. $8 state
• 3:47:16
  cost. As for restitution, I've heard
• 3:47:19
  nothing requesting the restitution.
• 3:47:21
  However, you will pay for a transcript of the plan
• 3:47:24
  sentencing so that it will be provided to the guardian of the
• 3:47:28
  victim for use during her treatment, therapy and to
• 3:47:32
  address her emotional needs so she understands what happened in
• 3:47:37
  this courtroom and that she was heard and relieved.
• 3:47:48
  I'm not surprised that she is not here.
• 3:47:53
  While you're incarcerated, you will undergo sort of treatment
• 3:47:57
  and training. You will undergo any other
• 3:48:02
  mental health treatment that is deemed necessary, including
• 3:48:12
  cognitive behavioral. You will participate in trade
• 3:48:16
  school. You have 42 days to appeal to
• 3:48:31
  your request. Atomic Council Council to
• 3:48:38
  acknowledge receiving your appellate rights.
• 3:48:40
  Thank you. That's all for the
• 3:48:43
  reconvenience. Well, that was interesting in
• 3:48:56
  all the wrong ways. Let's go back to Judge Stevens.
• 3:49:02
  We'll probably finish the day. There you have it, Sir.
• 3:49:10
  We're going to ask you to go in front of that Lady.
• 3:49:12
  She's she's going to swear you in for the preceding.
• 3:49:33
  Which one is Yes, electronic ticket case that I'm handling
• 3:49:37
  for hello, 23 CR 1059 is now called the State of Texas versus
• 3:49:47
  Devin Wayne Thompson. That's you.
• 3:49:49
  Mr. Thompson. Mr. W, you're turning in the
• 3:49:51
  state's attorney. Does the defendant wave a formal
• 3:49:54
  reading of this indictment and the arraignment here?
• 3:49:57
  Can we proceed? In summary?
• 3:49:58
  Yes, please. In summary, Sir, this indictment
• 3:50:01
  alleges that honor about March 12th, 2023 in Jefferson County,
• 3:50:05
  Texas, you committed the third degree felony of evading arrest
• 3:50:08
  or detention with a motor vehicle.
• 3:50:11
  Do you understand fully what you are charged with?
• 3:50:14
  If convicted of a third degree felony, you face a term of not
• 3:50:17
  more than 10 years or less than two years in prison and a fine
• 3:50:21
  up to $10,000 can also be assessed.
• 3:50:24
  Do you understand an agreement has been reached in your case?
• 3:50:27
  You would be pleading guilty but not found guilty.
• 3:50:30
  You would be placed on deferred or unadjudicated probation,
• 3:50:34
  which can be up to 10 years. There will be terms and
• 3:50:37
  conditions of probation which are normal and customary for
• 3:50:41
  this type of offense. There is no fine here.
• 3:50:45
  And right. Is that your understanding of
• 3:50:48
  the plan? Yes.
• 3:50:50
  No. If I follow this agreement, you
• 3:50:52
  have no right of appeal of your case.
• 3:50:56
  Do you understand? Yes.
• 3:50:57
  No. How do you plead to this charge,
• 3:51:00
  Sir? Guilty or not guilty?
• 3:51:04
  Hold on, I didn't I guilty or not guilty?
• 3:51:09
  Guilty. Are you pleading guilty
• 3:51:11
  voluntarily? That is on your own free will.
• 3:51:16
  And because you are indeed guilty, you have to speak out.
• 3:51:21
  So she should. OK, I show you what's marked as
• 3:51:24
  State's exhibit one. Did you sign that document
• 3:51:27
  voluntarily understand it, discuss it with your attorney or
• 3:51:30
  the contents? All true.
• 3:51:31
  Incorrect. State's Exhibit 1 tendered into
• 3:51:33
  evidence no objection and without objection, it's
• 3:51:36
  admitted. Among other things, this states
• 3:51:38
  that you are mentally competent to enter your guilty plea.
• 3:51:41
  It is freely and voluntarily made.
• 3:51:43
  You know what you've been charged with the indictments
• 3:51:45
  been read you or you've read it. You are guilty of the crime
• 3:51:47
  charge than any lesser included offenses.
• 3:51:50
  You are giving up your rights to a jury trial in the appearance,
• 3:51:53
  confrontation, cross examination of witnesses totally satisfied
• 3:51:57
  with the representation provided by your lawyer.
• 3:51:59
  All of this is true it states so help you guys.
• 3:52:02
  State's exhibit one part of the record for all purposes.
• 3:52:05
  Pre sentence report. Pre sentence report waived in
• 3:52:08
  this case. I will follow this agreement if
• 3:52:12
  nothing further. I will find that you are
• 3:52:15
  mentally competent to enter your guilty plea.
• 3:52:17
  It is freely involuntarily made. There's sufficient evidence
• 3:52:20
  supporting your guilty plea from State's Exhibit 1, admitted here
• 3:52:24
  to find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of this third
• 3:52:27
  degree felony of evading arrest or detention with a motor
• 3:52:30
  vehicle. But I'm not.
• 3:52:33
  Going to do that? I'm going to defer any finding
• 3:52:35
  of guilt and place you on deferred or unadjudicated
• 3:52:41
  probation. And this will be for a term
• 3:52:45
  standby of 10 years. We will lessen it to 1/3 of
• 3:52:52
  that. If you do what if you can do the
• 3:52:54
  math, that's three and a third years.
• 3:52:59
  There will be terms and conditions of probation that you
• 3:53:03
  must follow. And if you were sitting here, I
• 3:53:07
  mean, here they are and there are 35 terms and conditions, but
• 3:53:13
  almost all of these are requirements of all of us,
• 3:53:16
  including you. You know, it's in fact commit no
• 3:53:20
  offense. Well, that's we better follow
• 3:53:23
  all that's all of us here don't associate with disreputable
• 3:53:28
  people. All of us should follow that
• 3:53:32
  work faithful at suitable employment.
• 3:53:35
  All of us don't use drugs. You know, I could go on and on,
• 3:53:40
  but some of these are restrictive, but for the most
• 3:53:45
  part they are just requirements for living a good life.
• 3:53:50
  And please follow those. The probation officer will go
• 3:53:55
  over these with you if you fail and and 13 out of 14 people are
• 3:54:05
  successful on probation. One out of 14 fails 7%.
• 3:54:09
  We don't want you to fail. If there's any question about
• 3:54:16
  any term of probation, always speak with your probation
• 3:54:20
  officer. They're there to guide you in
• 3:54:23
  making the responsible decisions.
• 3:54:26
  But if you do fail, your probation could then be revoked.
• 3:54:30
  I could then find you guilty and sentence you up to 10 years in
• 3:54:34
  prison. Now, one of the terms and
• 3:54:36
  conditions of probation that we include is you must complete
• 3:54:42
  defensive driving and pay all associated costs.
• 3:54:48
  And let me just tell you, don't get frightened about that
• 3:54:52
  because you'll have to pay for the defensive driving course.
• 3:54:56
  And. Your first insurance premium
• 3:54:59
  will show you have saved money. It it reduces by by taking your,
• 3:55:05
  your tax, your cost for insurance, which we all have to
• 3:55:09
  have or else it's a crime when we drive your price, your cost
• 3:55:14
  for insurance will be reduced far more significantly than the
• 3:55:18
  cost for that class. In fact, there's some people I
• 3:55:22
  know that take it regularly just to keep their insurance down,
• 3:55:26
  which is not a bad idea. So that's a win for you.
• 3:55:32
  If I'm you're, you're in trouble here and now we're not only
• 3:55:37
  helping you get out of this, but we're saving you money.
• 3:55:40
  So follow those terms and conditions and you'll be fine.
• 3:55:44
  And then you can get terminated with this within 1/3 of the
• 3:55:49
  time. OK.
• 3:55:51
  Any questions you have, Sir? OK, Please see the probation
• 3:55:54
  officer in. Good luck.
• 3:56:02
  Okie dokie friends. That's the logical place to call
• 3:56:05
  it for today. I hope you all had fun.
• 3:56:07
  I did at least while I was doing court stuff, not when I was
• 3:56:10
  doing tax stuff. But it's done now so I can go on
• 3:56:14
  about my day. So that's nice.
• 3:56:15
  But thanks for spending some time with me this morning.
• 3:56:19
  I always, always, always enjoy getting up and spending my
• 3:56:22
  mornings with all of you. So I appreciate it so much.
• 3:56:26
  So let's do it again tomorrow. 9:00 AM Eastern, 6:00 AM
• 3:56:28
  Pacific. 1/2 an hour earlier if you were a channel member, If
• 3:56:30
  you're not a channel member, I encourage you to join us.
• 3:56:33
  Thank you for everything you've done for me today.
• 3:56:37
  Go have yourselves a great day. We'll see you tomorrow.
• 3:56:38
  Take care, God bless.
