Judges Behaving Badly MEGA-Compilation | Court Cam | A&E

First we go to the Hamilton County Common Police Court in Cincinnati, Ohio, standing in the hallway outside the

court

room is Cassandra Jackson, she is here today seeking a protective order that is often requested by victims of domestic violence, unfortunately a

court

official is telling her she missed the deadline and has to return Jackson a working mother becomes increasingly frustrated the arguments last long enough to be heard in the nearby courtroom so loud that Judge Michael Bachman, who presides over the courtroom on the other side of these doors, could not hear an attorney cross-examine a witness Jackson continues to plead his case to the man in the hallway, but is denied.

Jackson continues to argue before finally leaving in a huff, but Judge Bachmann is not satisfied and takes matters into his own hands about 10 seconds after Jackson walks away from him. Bachmann leaves the bank chasing her down the hallway. he catches up with Jackson at the elevators and orders him back to the courtroom. What happens next is critical to the final outcome of this story as they head toward court. Jackson tries to turn down a hallway and that's when Bachman grabs Jackson by her shoulder even as they enter. Bachman's courtroom still won't take his hand off her, note that Jackson is in court today to request a restraining order to protect her and her children from an allegedly abusive relationship.

Bachmann orders Jackson to the jury box and then tells her that she is about to be arrested for contempt. of the court, but the callous treatment by the rest of the court staff continues, two officers are brought in and Jackson attempts to flee. Additional help required to restrain Jackson. She resists, but is eventually led out of court in handcuffs. The situation is taken to another level when Jackson drags Officer Jacks' wife to the booking where formal charges are made in a chair as she continues to resist after fighting with the officers once again. Jackson is tied to a special chair and taken to detention. 2 days into a 10-day sentence after the presiding judge dropped the contempt charge and the remainder of his sentence for good cause after video of Bachman chasing Jackson and putting his hand on her became public.

Jackson files a civil suit against Bachman and was told by magistrates that he must resign or be fired. Bachman decided to resign if Bachman needs to enter a Hamilton County courthouse in the future, he must now do so as a private citizen. We're in Greenup Kentucky where the court is back in session after bringing in a new year, happy new year everyone, that's Judge Robert Connley he's been around. on the court for over 20 years and seems happy to begin another first parole revocation hearing Michael Ferer Defendant Michael Ferner owes more than $9,000 in back child support to his ex-wife and, according to his ex-wife's attorney, You're not following your court ordered payment schedule, so you didn't make any payments in 200, you just didn't make any, you didn't pay anything all year, nothing in 2019, it's been a tough year, I mean, I had three children at home my my wife works full time we did not have a babysitter after hearing the defendant's explanation it is possible that Judge Conley can give him a break to start the new year can I ask you a question what kind of person has three children when he doesn't even can you take care of them? one why K you are already grown up they are 21 and 19 but they are living at home they do not live with their mother three children I have three little ones five children the CL judge is over your order was 238 a month plus $50 to get angry, well, that It will change the next time he comes to court, you know, you just need to shut up, the more you talk, the more ridiculous you sound and just like that, the judge's New Year's cheer is thrown out the window, any jail sends him. jail, he go talk all you want there, okay, talk all you want there while Michael Ker is detained.

Judge Connley issues a stern directive to everyone in the courtroom. When I speak, you better listen to me. I only talk if I love you. to know something don't try to talk about me it's the most ridiculous thing in the world if I say something you better be listening 20 minutes later call the defendant Gary Willis because unfortunately for Willis he's also here today for not paying child support Willis how come he doesn't Are you paying what you're supposed to pay? I thought I thought he was paying for it. I just missed court. I got trapped. I completely forgot about Thanksgiving.

What am I supposed to do? What does the victim do with the victim? the victim in your case the ones that are money I have to listen I have to answer them they say judge he pays what are you doing about it judge what are you doing so do us both a favor and do what you're supposed to do? Doing so may be good advice, but it turns out that Judge Conley's delivery of the message left much to be desired for Kentucky's judicial conduct commission after the two cases. Conley received a public reprimand after an investigation into his intemperate conduct citation.

Judge Robert Connley finally agreed. the public reprimand admitted his behavior was inappropriate and issued a public apology below we are in the 31st District Court in Hamtramck Michigan for a virtual hearing on a civil infraction 5 months earlier, Boran chowdery, 72, allowed weed and the weeds covering their property grew unchecked, violating a local law against noxious weeds on vegetation. Chowdery was receiving treatment for lymph node cancer that left him too weak to work in the garden. His son Shabir, who usually maintained the property for him, was out of the country when the police issued the order. ticket shabir removed the overgrowth when he returned to the US, father and son hope for leniency today from judge alexis crot considering chat's medical condition and that it is his first offense.

Okay, you have a ticket through the roof to keep the F. walkway sidewalk or alley clear of weeds, trees or other new Education, first offense, civil infraction, you cannot be responsible, responsible, explanation or not responsible. I am a cancer, a very old man and I am a cancer patient. At that time I was very weak and sick, very weak and at this time of the rainy season I cannot. Take care, take care of this thing. Chatter's labored breathing is evident as he explains how his illness and the rainy weather affected his landscaping, but the judge refuses to give him any respite.

You should be ashamed of yourself. If I could give you jail for this, I would ask you to. The judge does not feel lenient, but quite the opposite, she is talking about jail time for an elderly cancer patient for a minor civil infraction. If she could give him jail time for this, she would pay him $100 by February 1st. I better clean that up. That's totally inappropriate, oh. Night Chow is stunned by the judge's outrage, so his son Shabir intervenes to reiterate his father's situation and tell the judge that the weeds have already been removed. Oh okay ma'am, is it forgivable because my father is currently sick and we cleaned him after the pH? yes I'm a very man that's embarrassing embarrassing the neighbor shouldn't have to look at that you should be ashamed of yourself yes I am you're going to go to jail judge crot closes the hearing with a threat to send chowy to jail if he comes back in his courtroom, the complaint went viral within a week and many reacted with disgust to the judge's treatment of Chowy.

An online petition calling for his removal from the court has more than a quarter of a million signatures. The judge issued a statement apologizing for her behavior toward Chow and appeared before the judicial tenure commission. The Ham Traik municipal council then voted to censure Judge CR Chow. Judge CR Chow's $100 fine was paid two days after the hearing. Next time we are in Las Vegas, Nevada for a children's visitation hearing. Rich parents and Rerio Silva have been divorced for 3 years in joint custody of their 12 year old daughter who lives full time with her mother Rerio claims she is not receiving court ordered visitation time and to make matters worse, His ex-wife claims that her daughter doesn't want to spend time with him, but before we get to the matter at hand, the wealthy Silva voices some complaints of her own against her ex-husband.

He has not paid child support. It was in November, December and January that I did not receive support or alimony. Also, none of the medical or dental expenses have ever been reimbursed not a penny of that child support if there are rages and medical there are ages you need to file an age schedule and a motion and I will hear it at the appropriate time Judge Reena Hughes seems ready to pass the issues not related to visits, but the rich Silva has not finished the medical and dental procedures. I remember I think it was five court dates ago and I have submitted the receipts, the proper receipts, save your comments.

Then it's back to visitation while the judge tries to schedule a dinner date for father and daughter the following week, February 6, that's week one, dinner night, what time, instead of giving the judge an answer , Rio's lawyer has a complaint, it's more than a week away and I'm not going to accept the argument properly. Now I have heard this case in infinitum. I'm entering orders. I hope they continue. I'm trying to accommodate both parties. We're not going to do this on a whim and say that in 2 days he's going to have dinner with her. Mom is going to tell him that she's going to stop by and we're going to get ready for it, okay?

What time? Uh, whatever's good for him. 5 six, what time. 6: p.m. But after the time is set, the child's mother has some important concerns and when she refuses to go, what should I do? Because this is really not good. You'll be here with a motion to find yourself in contempt. Will you have to do it? ride in the car with him yeah, wow, you really care about my son, right? I want you to keep your mouth shut and sit down. I care a lot about your son. Don't sit or talk. We need to have a try there is no need for a trial oh there it is finally the silence full of tension is broken with a threat from the judge if there is contempt and if there is retention of the child we will have a trial do you understand me clearly? you will lose custody Two months later, after additional problems with visitation, the parents return to court this time with their 12-year-old daughter, but after the hearing begins, Judge Hughes makes an unusual order telling all the adults that Leave the room so you can talk to the girl alone.

Around the same time, the cameras in the courtroom turn off 9 minutes later, with her father now back in the courtroom. Judge Hughes grants him temporary full custody despite the boy's wishes. You don't understand that I love her and I'm going to miss her. Very much, please don't do this to me. I have made a decision for your best interest. How do you know my best interest for you? I am an adult and you are a child when the child continues to protest the decision, please don't. I don't want to be with him, the judge threatens to send her to a children's shelter if you have any difficulty, we will go to Child Haven, it's not fun at Child Haven, in fact they put you in a folding cell like it's jail.

At the same time, the girl's mother is not allowed back into the courtroom and is charged with contempt for allegedly withholding visitation, but this custody fight was far from over after the hearing, the The girl's mother filed a complaint with the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline alleging that she and her daughter's civil rights were violated by Judge Hughes. In response, the commission ruled that Judge Hughes in fact violated the Judicial Code and due process. process by holding the mother in contempt and not allowing her to be heard during the hearing that she was also accused of granting to the father. custody as a punitive measure against the girl's mother, the commission issued a public remand for Judge Hughes, but the sentence would be dropped after a successful appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Ultimately, the parents were awarded joint physical custody of their daughter 34-1 State of Arizona v. Christopher Robert Lesnic we are in Maricopa County, Arizona, in the courtroom of Superior Court Commissioner Julie Newell, she is overseeing the arraignment of Christopher Lesnak, 50, charged with aggravated assault. The victim, a man is not identified for privacy reasons and no. present in court right, the state wants to go on the record? uh no, your honor, no offer has been officially made yet as a new commissioner proceed with the hearing a woman from the gallery stands up preparing to address the court ma'am, please take a seat, please take a seat I was going to make an announcement , please take your seats and will make an announcement only when the court allows it.

Thank you, the woman the commissioner is yelling at is Sheila Madden, an attorney for the victim. Madden, a former commissioner, previously served herself. she with new, but she new she then she would claim that she did not recognize her, she will make an announcement only whenthe court allows him to do so despite his former colleague's statement. Madden has the right to be heard in court proceedings involving your client, Mr. You B. and you fail to appear for your next court date, which is August 31, an arrest warrant could be issued for you and your trial could continue in his absence.

She understands that yes, sir, the rest of the hearing continues without interruption. Very well, good luck, sir, but when she finishes and Madden is not called she again tries to address the new commissioner. I wish you to listen to me sir, madam, please sit down, I wish the madam to sit down, that is the last order, so Otherwise, leave the courtroom, leave the courtroom or I will. I'll get you out of the courtroom. I'll take you out. I'll take you out. Get out of the courtroom right now. Get out of the courtroom right now. Get a deputy here right now please, despite the summons for a deputy and New Madden's attacks.

She refuses to leave and with the tension in the courtroom at its peak judge her, may I make the record? The defense attorney steps in to try to calm things down between the two former co-workers. I'm sorry, but I have spoken to uh.Sheila Madden she represents the victim in connection with this case. I have worked with her, so she represents a victim. She was very professional in contacting me. She is a former judge. I hold her in high regard as I do you, so I don't want to. It should be cut in half here, but I will not accept any comments regarding the victim in this case, either because she may feel that it was a no-win situation or knowing that an officer is about to remove her.

Madden makes a move to leave as Comm nle never heard any comments regarding the victim in the case or any other the next day he resigned from his position and then received a public reprimand for his harsh and inappropriate behavior in the courtroom. court. Next in the courtroom we head to Cleveland Municipal Court, where Judge Pinky Carr presides. It is March 17, 2020. The country is in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. The person is not here, as I have observed all week. The third day of Corona due to health risks. Cleveland's administrative court has issued an order postponing all hearings for defendants who are not in jail, so why is Judge Carr's courtroom still open for all business?

DEET bond number 31 is set at 2500. It's a question on Assistant Public Defender Mark's mind. jablonsky is the court that has a file tomorrow oh yes nothing stopped me my cases continue does that only apply to prisons? no one to show up not everyone watches the news In fact, yesterday I had people I have people today yes, I'm not going to do that to people the judge's statement contradicts the administrative order on covid-19 and Jablonsky wants an explanation can we get a survey of any of our clients is scheduled for tomorrow and is not in jail, can we tell them no?

Administrative order of the court regarding I'm here I'm here if people show up I'm here so don't call people and tell them not to show up if they show up I'm here but this judge not only allows it people to show up, she is punishing those who do not do so, in the previous days he had issued several arrest warrants, which in judicial terminology is known as capus capus, he found a group of 5,000 pres officers, no accused will be issued KPS continuing their exchange on the order Jablonsky asked the judge about his position for the last time don't do that hello for the third time I'll be here if people show up I'm here ok thank you ok ok ok ok minutes after seven ok Jablonsky leaves the courtroom but Judge Carr still apparently bewildered Because of the lawyer's question about the publication in his client's hearings, he discusses it with his staff.

I say, enough, not everyone saw the news. I'm going to call him and tell him not to come. I'm sure it is. little idiot, but soon after when the local media found out about the arrest warrants, the judge denies it if people came to court and were willing to risk their health, I thought I would return the favor in terms of issuing a warrant of arrest. It is absolutely false. but when the video showing the opposite becomes public capus Bon a set of 10,000 capus Bon a set of 5,000 you know what I'll just put a direct Kus in the Ohio Supreme Court orders Judge Carr to temporarily stop presiding over all cases criminal or traffic. and an investigation by the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct is launched.

The car faces penalties that could range from a warning to outright disqualification for our next story. We need to warn you that it contains images that may be disturbing to some viewers. Sandra Twix, yes, ma'am. We are at a bond hearing in Broward County, Florida for a disturbing incident involving Judge Marily Erick. Good morning madam. The accused is Sandra Twigs, 59 years old. She is charged with misdemeanor domestic battery against her 18-year-old daughter. Twig relies on a wheelchair, suffers from asthma, diabetes and lung diseases, I have read the probable cause after David, yes, ma'am, you do not have to respond to everything, but thanks to the principle, Judge Erick is cordial with the defendant, but that has not been the last recent trials, any.

Excuse me ma'am, I'm asking the courtroom staff, okay, I'll let you know every time I talk to you, okay, I'm sorry, okay ma'am, yes, I have asthma with COPD and I have a cough, okay, apparently she and her adult daughter live in the same house and got into a verbal altercation over who gets the fan. The judge reviews the case, but it seems that information is missing. I don't know whose house this is. I don't know if you are in a position to evict, excuse me, don't tell me, the judge is starting to show some frustration.

Does your daughter live with you, ma'am, yes, ma'am, she would also excuse me, don't say anything? beyond what I ask of you, trust me, I am Mrs. she lives with my daughter who lives with me and lives with my daughter in Miami, it is a different place if the judge's impatience grows as an excuse, Mrs. my. A question for you, Can someone give him water as kindness? Ma'am, do you need water? Just nod your head. Yes, and I'm on respiratory treatment. Ma'am, I'm not here to talk to you about your respiratory treatment. I, oh Lord, it's clear that Twigs is struggling, but the judge is getting more and more irritated.

I'm not going to spend all day with her interrupting me, it's your turn to talk, lawyer, sorry, I'm done, Twi, just be quiet for a moment. Twigs takes the advice of the council. While Judge Erck is trying to end the hearing, but it is not enough to avoid the judge's WRA on you, do you want her to stay in the house but not have any harmful contact with you? Absolutely yes, ma'am, yes, your honor, I need it, excuse me. Sorry, excuse me, instead of bail, the judge offers Twig pre-trial release. State, yes, instead of money, does she want to be supervised by pretrial release?

Is the correct answer, yes, ma'am, yes, your pretrial services, yes, her honor, ma'am. 'I'm, listen, I don't know what you're saying, you've already said too much, listen, please, yes, once again, the judge scolds the already nervous Twigs, you don't even say yes, just listen, can you hear me?' You understand me, yes? I have to contact pretrial services by noon on Monday. Do you get me? Yes, thanks. You can return it. Does that mean I can go home to an exasperated judge? Erlick seems relieved and the hearing is over, but the story is not. ends there just 3 days later Sandra twig passed away in her sleep at home after video of twig's court appearance was made public erick's treatment of the defendant came under intense scrutiny broward chief administrative judge jack guardian asked Erick not to return to work while he did not have the power to fire her 2 Days Later erck decided to announce an early retirement now to the Moore Justice Center in Bravard County Florida two Char is assaulted and resisting has Public Defender Andrew Weinstock and his client are appearing before Judge John Murphy, whose voice you hear, public defender, what do you want to do?

They have the file. I'm not saying hello. What do you want to do? What do you want to do? I'm not saying hello. Do you want to prepare it for trial? Set it for trial Judge Murphy wants the defendant to waive his right to a speedy trial because the Court schedule backed by the stop win stock is not moving and tensions are rising if I had a rock I would throw it at you right now, stop bothering me. Outside just sit down I'll take care of it I don't need your help you know what I am the public defender I have the right to be here and I have the right to sit down if you want to fight let's go out come back and I'll beat your ass.

The two head to the hallway behind the courtroom, out of sight of the court cameras, believe it or not, they get into a physical altercation until Judge Murphy returns to the courtroom alone. Thank you. I'll catch him. my breath eventually man I'm an old man once Judge Murphy catches his breath he continues with the rest of the hearings without wine broth present his options that there will probably be a change and the staff is scheduling him for trial on the 9th June o If you would like to say hello to Speedy, we would set it for July 15th.

I would like to do it as quickly as possible. That does not help me. The incident investigated by Florida's judicial qualifications commission that accused Judge John Murphy of threatening to commit violence. against an assistant public defender who got into a physical altercation with an attorney and resumed his file while the defendants were without counsel, the case eventually reaches the Florida Supreme Court, which orders the immediate suspension and permanent removal of Judge Murphy of his position. Andrew Weinstock then resigns from his public defender's office now to Durham, North Carolina, where Judge James Hill presides over a child C custody case for three long days.

Divorced parents Rana and Colin Morrison have been getting very personal in the courtroom. I'm angry because his father lives in Durham. go on vacation with friends Q The lovers go out to eat they take her on vacation and they can't seem to see it. The boy's mother, Rana, claims her ex-husband abandoned her three-year-old son and failed to pay child support. He argues that she withheld her child from him and is seeking permanent custody and the judge, well, is not happy with either of them. I don't give a damn, could I? You two aren't important and he's about to let you know.

Two parents. I chose my words very carefully, two parents can come in and act like idiots and the one who got into bed and had sex and made that baby that didn't ask to be born, but he was the important thing and he doesn't do it. I need to see two adults acting like idiots. I say the word ID that he said three times later. Judge Hill directs his attention to rishana. I have no doubt that you have kept that child. No, don't look at me. I have not done it. you say one more word, you say one more, you say one, she works well, she has 24 hours, she executes it as soon as we have, you have 48 hours, you say, you have 48 hours.

R she finally calms down and finally, after three heated days in the courtroom. the judge pronounces her decision both parents and support people have child C as Ace, you are the officers trying to restrain her. Morrison's brother, Sherod Smith, comes forward from the back of the room at first and tries to help by calming his sister, but when that doesn't work and Rana throws a bullet if an opening hook, Big Brother is caught in the middle. , the officers try to stop him, but it sends one of them flying as the judge quickly exits while one officer struggles to control Morrison, another puts her down. brother handcuffed and here come even more officers to shut things down while Morrison and Smith are taken away, a third person is also restrained in the back of the courtroom his mother (video) Smith and his mother are sentenced to 48 hours in jail for resisting a public official as Morrison receives 30 days Morrison and her husband now have a shared custody agreement Judge James Hill received a public rebuke from the North Carolina Supreme Court for improperly exercising his contempt powers by failing to maintain order with decorum and make inappropriate comments below.

We're in LL Maryland for jury selection. Dvon King, 25, is representing himself today on weapons charges after he was caught carrying a regulated firearm during a traffic stop just 3 months earlier. King was appearing at a preliminary hearing on the charges when he fled the courtroom and temporarily eluded police due to the fleeing incident. King must wear a remote-controlled stun cuff on his leg while appearing in court and now, as he reads a prepared argument statistic, there appears to be another problem in court: 72- Year-old Robert NY, the judge is He retired the previous year but was called back part-time to hear cases.

This hearing got off to a rocky start when King statedbe an unruly American, an offshoot of the anti-government Sovereign Citizen movement and insisted that his real name was not Delvon King now as Judge NY explains the jury selection process. King continues reading his prepared argument questioning the Court's jurisdiction over him. He says viate, Mr. Sheriff, use it well. I'm going to take five don. Calm down and I'll be back, yes gentlemen, statues that in case you missed it, after King refuses to stop talking right now, Judge NY orders the courtroom deputy to activate the stun handcuff on King's leg, Mr.

Sheriff, use it. The deputy approaches calmly. King, who doesn't seem to see it and slides his chair out of the way as King rides in pain into the courtroom, the New York judge decides to leave the courtroom and take a short break, okay, I'll take five. After the brief recess, the New York judge resumed the hearing and King continued to represent himself. He later accepted pretrial release, meaning that in his case he was sentenced to two years in prison on the weapons charge, most of which he had already served and, in exchange, no actual sentence would be added to your file.

The same cannot be said for Judge Robert NY after the courtroom video became public, the Maryland Court of Appeals immediately rescinded n's ability to hear cases. He would later also be charged with a misdemeanor violation of civil rights. to which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year of probation, ordered to take anger management classes, and pay a $5,000 fine after his sentencing. Robert NY was banned from court for life. Then we are in Newark, New Jersey, where Judge James Convery is overseeing a divorce hearing on one side is Benjamin Taylor and his IET attorney Ramos Alvarez and on the other is his soon-to-be ex-wife to establish Taylor's total annual income.

The attorney for his wife, now Miss Kski, has requested a copy of her Social Security income tax return. she comes back after everything was finished except the Social Security income statements which she doesn't have. He receives his Social Security.every year indicating the earnings statistic he receives his earnings statement he receives it he receives it every year so she asked why he didn't provide it to her he doesn't have it he threw it in the trash I guess oh, come on, as you can see Judge Convery doesn't believe the dog in my homework story, so he decides to do a quick poll in the courtroom to prove his point.

You do not get it? I get it, you get it, you get it. Everyone understands it. Social Security sends him to your house every year, Álvarez, however, does not agree based on his own experience. No, I don't understand, they sent him to my house four years ago. I haven't received it in the last three. This is the final moment before Judge Conver says something he will regret. When did you become an illegal alien? Judge Alvarez is taken AB for the judge's comment, not only is she of Hispanic descent but she is also the former president of the New Jersey Hispanic Bar Association.

Judge "I'm going to say he was totally inappropriate." I don't mean to listen to me while Judge Conver tries to back down. Álvarez moves towards the door and then comes an awkward silence. Alvarez returned to the courtroom 10 minutes later and Judge Conver apologized, but the damage had been done. Alvarez later filed a misconduct complaint against Judge Conver which, along with other public complaints, prompted a public reprimand from the New Jersey supreme court. Then we're outside the Crawford County Courthouse and in Knoxville, Georgia, Judge Carrie Hayes, 78, has just arrived to work on one of the cases in Her today's docket involves defendant Brian Keith Davis, who faces a charge of felony drug charges, as well as two misdemeanor charges inside the courtroom, away from the cameras.

Davis is asked to be released on his own recognizance, but when the judge sets bail at $88,500, Davis allegedly fires a barrage of obscenities, the judge orders Davis removed from the courtroom and is captured on camera. security according to Judge Davis shouts an insult as he leaves, that's when Judge Hayes decides he's heard enough, grabs Davis, who is handcuffed and chained by the shoulder. The judge then pushes Davis against the wall once the judge releases him. Davis quickly calls for help and then has a final comment for the judge, supposedly saying that if you touch me one more time I'm going to hit you, the judge stands his ground and continues pulling. the defendant and then returns to the courtroom.

Davis tries to get the last word in, but some officers arrive on the scene. Davis is taken away while the judge tries to explain his actions. No criminal charges were brought against Judge Hayes, but he was suspended by the state supreme court for 30 days without pay and will be publicly reprimanded by a superior court judge as Davis' charges are still pending. We are back in Vancouver Washington where a 16 year old boy is in juvenile court after violating his probation he is accompanied by his mother next to them is the clerk of the court, but noticeably absent is his lawyer while Judge John Woly asks about the lawyer's whereabouts the teen heads to court I'd like to fight for myself and not have a lawyer, he seems that young The defendant wants to play Perry Mason, but Judge Woolly doesn't necessarily think that's a good idea.

Oh, that's not a smart move. It's like taking the field with the New York Yankees and you haven't even learned how to play baseball. That's ok. I am not going to do that, you will have a lawyer to help you in this matter. I'm not going to let him fly alone and walk into a court of law and try to practice law when he hasn't even finished high school. school I just wanted to say I'm guilty just take what I'm going to send on Tuesday sry, what Judge Woly doesn't clarify is that he believes a minor cannot legally plead guilty without a lawyer pres.

I'm not going. to accept an admission at this time we are not going to do what we want, so move it to Tuesday to admit or deny or to see whether or not there will be a replacement of the lawyer so far it seems judge. Woolly is doing everything in his power to help this defendant, but when the teen continues to question him, why can't I admit it today? The judge loses his temper because I'm doing my job, sir, my job requires me to protect your constitutional rights like you do. an American citizen, that is my position and if you are too stupid to know that what I am trying to do is protect you, then let me explain it to you, so the first step is to bring the case back with a lawyer and then we will talk.

The tip is the clerk of court tries to tell the team to shut up because I'm doing my job sir, then he scores some points with the boss by backing them up and our state supreme court backed him up on that, they did and I. I'm sure the US Supreme Court would too, and would listen carefully as Mom expresses her dissatisfaction with the judge's job choice. The Supreme Court has backed him up on that and I'm sure the US Supreme Court would also agree that he's going to accept this. you're going to take your seat, um, you're going to go back to court, actually maybe feeling the change of mood in the courtroom.

Judge Wooly offers an apology and my apologies to everyone in this courtroom. I very rarely lose my temper if you like. Call it that, but when I do it it's usually because someone is too stupid to recognize that I'm trying to help them. There are just a few problems with Judge Wooly's ambiguous apology, one that just doubled down on him for calling the defendant stupid. who is too stupid to recognize that I am trying to help them and two, I very rarely lose my temper the problem is that that is not entirely true over a 2 and a half year period.

Judge Wooly was cited for four separate incidents by the Washington State Foreign Affairs Commission. judicial conduct by citing a pattern of discourteous, impatient and undignified behavior. Judge John Woolly would later receive a public reprimand for his bad temper in the courtroom. Oh, that's not a smart move. We are in the George Leighton Criminal Courthouse in Chicago, Illinois. Judge Joseph applauds. through the lobby like he has done many times during his 20-year career, only today he dropped something on the floor. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, except that the object that falls to the ground is reportedly an Illinois satin silver loaded revolver.

Weapons, even if he has the proper license, are prohibited inside the courthouse, unless he is an officer on duty. Notice how, as he claps his hands, he walks past the security desk, greets a court security officer, and the revolver falls out of his jacket, which is folded over his arm with people watching. He bends down to pick it up.

I don't travel, ma'am, I did. I'm not asking you for a speech. I'm not, you know it well, you think this is funny, you want to go to jail now. I won't shut up, I'm taking his ass into custody. I'm tired of the Watkins case coming to West Virginia. appeals court where he was censured for 24 violations, including his offensive language and failing to complete required tasks, such as entering protective orders into the state registry. Watkins is suspended without pay for the remaining four years of his term, between May and November 2012, did he engage in sexual conduct with Judge McCree yes, I did numerous times yes, we are in Arbor Michigan at a judicial disciplinary hearing for the judge of Wayne County Circuit Court Wade McCree, 56-year-old McCree, married with two children, admitted to having an ongoing affair with 31-year-old Janine Lea, a woman he first met in the courtroom court when she appeared as a complainant.witness against her son's father in a child support case, but instead of recusing himself from her case after the affair began, Judge McCree remained in office for six more months and admitted to discussing the case with mot outside the courtroom.

M eventually reported the affair to the local media Now on the stand Judge McCree tells the judicial commission that his interest in M ​​began the moment she entered the courtroom. She confessed that she was an attractive and striking woman and, you know, she caught my attention. Here is a six foot tall woman in stiletto heels. heels and you know all the bells and whistles and I'm differentiating her from the base that comes to the courtroom by describing what the typical base looks like in her record the judge didn't hold back paragraph 76 of the complaint you're talking about the docket from hell full of tattooed holes, overweight, half-assed, English-speaking, gap-toothed, correct three months after their initial meeting in court Mom and Judge McCree began a sexual relationship I'm a middle-aged man she was a young woman, she was pretty and I admit I was excited.

I don't want to say that Water approached the horse, but I must say that she certainly was approaching me with an Ease that surprised me, she moved me. Details of their affair were shared with the court, including that the two engaged in sexual activity in the judge's chambers between May and November 2012. Did you engage in sexual conduct with Judge McCree? Yes, I did it on numerous occasions. Yes, at least twice at the Western Hotel, yes, how about Judge McCree's marital home? Yes, but according to McCree, the relationship soured when M became more demanding of her time, if I had a minute she wanted an hour, if I had an hour she wanted an afternoon, if I had an afternoon she wanted one night on many of these matters.

You have to tell her what she wants to hear or she continues to sweat you or sweat me like she was a kind but demanding woman. She always wanted to. You know, the next cookie. McCree eventually confessed to his wife and Judge LED Mo that he was leaving her. I wasn't going to move forward with the divorce in terms of finalizing it, but we were going through the motions as if we were the court order in the end. The committee recommended that Judge McCree be removed from office and suspended from the position of judge for a period of 6 years.

The Michigan Supreme Court upheld the suspension recommendation and also ordered McCree to pay more than $1,000 in court calls. We then head to Claremore Oklahoma, where County Judge Cassie McCoy is found slumped in her car in a store parking lot around 4:00 p.m. On Super Bowl Sunday, Officer Nathaniel Turman arrives on the scene and approaches Judge McCoy's vehicle. She seems to have some problems with the windows. This one you feel good, yeah, what are you up to? I'm not into anything. Someone called and said you drove. In the ditch it looks like you were half asleep in the driver's seat when I got here, well that wasn't me because you have an ID, okay, have you been drinking, drinking or something today, no, actually I haven't, No?

Get back in my car and talk to me back here Judge McCoy follows Terman to his vehicle where he begins to verify the judge's information through his computer Are you drinking something What have you had today? I have had something, are you a drinker? No, when was the last time? time done TR because I've never had that problem, it's never not okay, then January or July 2008 you get in trouble for an alcohol related crime or anything else. Yeah, okay, so can we be honest now? Yeah, okay, have you been drinking today? Yeah, how long have you been? drinking today I drank champagne how much have you drunk today um full bottle sh a full bottle terman is going to talk to her partner um do you recognize who she is sir your judge she is a drink she is your judge full bottle of champagne don't let her position influence what It should be done if a test needs to be performed.

After a few minutes, Officer Terman returns to the car and gets to work. Do you have a drinking problem? Yes, he understands what kind of position this puts me in. I think you understand this very well because of what you do for a living. I had no idea who you were. My partner knows who you are. What I want you to do is do the right thing. The officers asked Judge McCoy to get out of the car. and he completes a field sobriety test without turning his head. I want you to follow my finger with your eyes.

Only in your eyes. It's okay, you understand? Okay, don't turn your head, keep it straight. Sorry, the test actually trips her up. out there put Trans on your back officer end up seen enough that's not okay, you're under no, don't make this any harder than it already is you're under arrest for actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, just sit here, okay, you're going to jail, the judge is taken back to the station where she agrees to take a breathalyzer test. McCoy's blood alcohol level returns to 35, which is four times the legal limit because the officers did not witness it. is actually driving, she is charged with misdemeanor being in control of a vehicle while intoxicated, the judge then released Bond and issued a statement saying she is embarrassed by the incident and intends to get professional help.

Judge McCoy is also temporarily relieved of her duties. I haven't had a drink since January 31, 2019. We're in Columbus, Ohio, where 54-year-old Monica Hawkins is on the stand. It's a peculiar position for her because most days she's on the other side of the bench as a family court judge. What got this judge in hot water a year earlier, police stopped this vehicle after receiving a 911 call reporting an erratic driver. The driver was Judge Monica Hawkins after officers noticed the smell of alcohol coming from the car. Hawkins is asked to perform a variety of field sobriety tests they don't go very well it looks like this judge is going to jail at the police station Hawkins remains calm and collected he can be heard humming a tune when Comes the time to face the music the judge refuses to cooperate so when What I'm going to ask is that you provide a breast sample, that's fine and if you refuse your driver will automatically suspend your Ohio driver's license, Okay, so are you willing to provide a breast sample?

Okay, so you understand that you will immediately be suspended for that. Okay, if we get an order for your blood draw, then you can't MH, so you're still willing to refuse. Yes, even if we receive a drop of blood. You understand? that we will take you to the hospital and they will draw your blood and that is something you would rather do than provide a blood sample from the breast, yes, after a warrant is issued, Hawkins is taken to the hospital where she has to be restrained. To have her blood drawn, her blood alcohol level registers at 199, almost 2 and a half times the legal limit.

Judge Hawkins would later plead guilty to misdemeanor driving under the influence and she was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 87 days suspended. In addition to Hawkins' legal conviction, a judicial misconduct complaint was filed requiring him to appear before the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct, and this time Judge Hawkins takes a much more humble and cooperative approach. I've spent my entire life trying to do the following. The best and be the perfect person. I haven't had anything to drink since January 31, 2019, so you are telling the panel that you have been sober since the date of the incident.

Yes, I have been sober. All I can do is forgive myself and move on. go ahead, be the best judge I can be Hawkins received a public reprimand, but because his charge was a misdemeanor and not a felony, he is now allowed to keep his job at the Clark County Superior Court in Vancouver, Washington . I'm afraid. Judge John Woolly rules on a woman's request for a restraining order against the father of one of her children, Alexander Adiri, 51, the defendant maintains that he is not even the father of the child. He has already taken me to court six times for paternity testing which we actually did, but he is still harassing me, he is telling me to refuse to receive our child support, if not he has problems for me.

Fraternity tests have been carried out, yes, it is proven that it is his, he still refuses to believe it. The defendant disputes the findings of a complete DNA. test using her saliva through a Russian translator he insists on a blood test instead of determining paternity five times five times I asked for the blood test and she did not allow five times you are the father of the child the saliva test is a DNA Test that scientifically proves that you are the father. Legal action was initiated and a formal court order was established. You are the father of the child.

But this defendant will not give up his cause so easily. Why doesn't he want to do it? let me provide you with a blood test to prove that I am not the father, you are the father sir, a blood test is an outdated test, we no longer use the ones we used 20 years ago, sir, this is not the IET Union, These are the United States. In the States of America we use the best and latest technologies to determine the paternity of children. Many countries in Europe. I'm not talking about the Soviet Union. I checked what people in Europe use and use blood.

This is not OK. I'm done, his order is granted, he's out of here, it seems like an open and shut case until the judge decides to investigate the defendant. I suggest that he watch some CSI television shows and the laughter in the room seems to incite the defendant even more. He turns to address Judge Wooly directly You are in contempt of court You are under arrest Mr. Security You are in contempt of this court You are going to be detained for two days Announcements Jerry is whisked away to jail while the judge apologizes attendees for their strong reaction his response to this case and others shows and earned him a reprimand from the Washington State Judicial Conduct Commission thank you for being a fan of Court cam Subscribe to A&E to never miss a new video and watch thefull episodes on aet.com
