Court Cam: Most Viewed Moments of 2023 | A&E

We are in District Court in Arbor Michigan, Anthony Lane, 36, is before Judge Cedric Simpson for a virtual conference. 6 months earlier, Lane was charged with one count of possession of methamphetamine or ecstasy and one count of possession of a narcotic, cocaine or heroin. Today Lane is requesting to waive his right to a probable cause hearing and have his case sent directly to Lane Circuit Court. Please list his name for the

court

Anthony Lane. Good morning sir, a waiver to continue plea negotiations and resolution in the circuit. He will not have that hearing and will proceed to Circuit Court for further resolution.

Yes sir, everything seems to be going according to plan until the judge asked the prosecutor if he also agrees to shake up the probable cause hearing. People also wave their right to their H I. I'll agree to say hello, but I want to make a statement for the record, it appeared that earlier in this block of time, Mr. Lane was rolling a joint and may have been smoking That same day, as Lane waited in the virtual

court

room, he decided to have a smoke, another defendant waiting for the judge to double-tap when he realized what Lane was doing, while recreational marijuana use is legal. in Michigan.

Lane is out of Bond and is strictly prohibited from using drugs or controlled substances. Lane looked cautiously out the window of the vehicle, but he paid no attention to the phone in front of him that was transmitting what he was doing not only on the Internet but directly to the court. He continued to smoke during the session and displayed the joint closely while Judge Simpson dealt with other cases. The court staff noticed. and informed the prosecutor, broker, given that information, I suppose we should adjourn the PCC session so that Mr. Lane and I can talk more before waiting.

I think you would be wise, Mr. Lane, to understand what is happening now, yes, as part of his bail conditions. Lane is he. He was also supposed to take regular drug tests, when was the last time he got tested? Two weeks ago he was supposed to take the test twice a week. He took the test again. I try it back to back. Okay, but did you get tested this week? No, sir, me too. I'm going to order you to report to Community Corrections today for a test. Uh, I don't have transportation today. Well, you better find someone to drive you here.

I'm ordering a test. I'm you, you're the one. That caused this to you because of what you did, so I'm ordering a test today. Okay, take the test today. He, I'm going to issue a warrant to pick me up, but as the judge moves on, Lane delays the call and lets it out. a laugh, keep laughing Mr. Lane, I don't think you want to do that with me, you better leave before you think things are too funny, thank you, I wasn't laughing at you, sir, I wasn't laughing at you sir. Yes, thanks. The people from the court case against Chandler Langston Lane never arrived at Community Corrections that day or showed up at his next conference.

Judge Simpson issued an arrest warrant and revoked the bond. His case remains open. We are now in Arbor Michigan. for a post-sentence hearing, Shannon Phillips, 37, has not been making court-ordered tuition reduction payments in court fees that were part of her sentence 5 1/2 years earlier, Phillips had a physical altercation with the store owner, Tyrone Curry. about how much change she owed him for purchasing a lottery ticket, Tyrone told police that Phillips would go behind the counter and throw merchandise around the store. He also told them that he had a gun in his pants and was threatening to shoot up the store.

Phillips was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon and malicious destruction of property during a court trial. a judge found her guilty of both charges. She was sentenced to 6 months in jail followed by 3 years of probation. She was also ordered to pay $4,300 in restitution to Tyrone. for the damaged property Phillips made regular payments for 3 years but was late in the last year paid less than half the amount owed to the victim today Phillips is before Judge Patrick Conan to address the outstanding payments, let's see if we can resolve This Is it Shannon Phillips or whoever is representing you in court today, Miss Phillips, is that you?

Are you? Shannon Phillips, identified as UCC 1-30 8. All rights reserved. This is Shannon Phillips. She was chosen to sign in at the hearing. She is UCC 1-308. All rights reserved. and she doesn't respond when the judge calls her name, well, no response to the court's investigation, it's 4:30 p.m. m. of July 13, we hear you now, are you Miss Phillips? DC 1-308 All rights reserved I am here on a special visiting All Cap's name, although Phillips has not identified himself as such, he appears to be employing tactics and reciting language from The Playbook of sovereign citizens, many of whom believe that adding certain codes and All rights reserved to their names will protect them from processing that Are you okay with not seeing a response to my request?

It's 4:30 p.m. The matter was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. um, I, Agent Miller, will sign an arrest warrant if she fails to appear, the judge refuses to recognize Phillips until she identifies herself by her legal name. My name is uppercase S lowercase H lowercase a lowercase n lowercase n lowercase or lowercase n well it's You, Shannon Phillips, I'm Shannon, Judge Conin is done with the name game, so wrap it up. I will sign the arrest warrant when you issue it, Agent Miller F. Feel free to send it to me. I have to be fired with prejudice. how are you going to sign an arrest warrant and I'm sitting here I told you my name was Phillips you can be present but the judge considers your refusal to properly identify yourself a failure to appear Phillips continues speaking as the court moves on to the next case number 56 people v.

Tyreek pit 21535 FH Armstrong assistant prute on behalf of the people I do not, I have no contact with her Philips left the hearing and an arrest warrant was issued for her 9 days later her non-payment hearing is still pending it has been rescheduled . Next time we're in Broward County Bail Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Come in, ma'am, Mr. Shanus, Abraham Arthur Shanus and I have been legally divorced for 31 years and I have the documents to prove it. This is Dolores Shinus, 80 years old. She ended up in jail for resisting arrest after violating a restraining order filed by her ex-husband.

We both lived in 20 b and he paid for the apartment in full. His assumption is because he paid for the apartment he has the right to do as he pleases I can't get in the way of who owns the apartment I am I know that's not the point the point I'm telling you I need keep you away He's right, I haven't bothered him for 31 years, why should I bother him now? Great instead of getting up in arms. Judge John Hurley decides to release her shyness on personal recognizance, as long as she agrees to stay away from her ex-husband. you are not allowed to call him, text him, email him, you must stay 500 feet from him at all times, that's where he lives, where he works, anywhere in between ma'am you'll get a second chance on this one .

I don't want to. I don't really want to keep an 80-year-old woman in jail who has no criminal record, but this is her second warning, don't go around him again. I swear to God and that whole tone about a stack of Bibles. I will never go near him talk to him call him or even look at him the first thing you were going to swear besides the Bibles what I don't remember oh what all the holy thing ho yes oh all the holy thing yes sir I didn't recognize your accent the major's bold comment takes Judge Hurley caught off guard Have you ever thought about doing a stand-up routine?

Did you ever think about what I did when you? If you pay me good money honey I'll be there I'm sure I'll find it man I gotta tell you something um it looks like you got a big widow with you that's right sir yeah I mean honey that's the only thing I have. I've been called darling in this courtroom, does that mean you're having me for breakfast let me ask you something ma'am yes sir um How have I been as a judge today? Until now? How is he doing? Not bad, but you could do better. Can we get?

Can we get a drum roll on this with the case already closed? The only thing the judge, the public defender and all the other inmates are waiting for is a final punchline. I have to tell her: "You make my day, ma'am." Okay, that's what the last guy said and then sued. Next we are in Mount Clemens, Michigan for a plea hearing. Denise Robertson, 39, has been charged with six felony counts of issuing and publishing, meaning she made and cashed fraudulent checks. Robertson is a habitual offender with four previous offenses on her record. She faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, but today she will accept a plea deal in exchange for a lesser maximum sentence.

My client is requesting a referral to drug court. The county Drug Court is a prison diversion program established to assist nonviolent drug offenders. It sounds like your problem is that you need to take and learn how to write a check from a checking account that has your funds. How does drug court interact with all of this? That's veteran judge Mary Chanowski. She earned the nickname Scary Mary from the defendants because of her toughness. approach From the bench uh, drugs were the root of her problems, your honor, why does she want to go to drug court? Other than trying to avoid going to prison, because when I don't do drugs, I live well, so why you?

I do drugs, I don't know, okay and how long does this last? During the last 5 years, at any point in these 5 years did you wake up and say hey, I have a problem and I think I'd better do something last year? I was walking down the street and I got hit by a car and they put me back on py pills and here I am today, suddenly you're thinking about going to prison and you want to go to drug court, is this an excuse? to stay out of prison yes no, well someone said yes, someone knows you better than me because I just met you.

Who is that? Come here, let me hear what you have to say. His brother approaches from the gallery to express his own opinion about what is happening. I think she needs the book tossed to her somehow. She keeps escaping with these drugs all the time. You know the drugs are causing her to do this. She had a chance. She has given up four children. she ruined her lives um just because she wants to be trash and get a free ride in waking life woman, they took your kids away from you why are you going to wake up? someone else is raising your kids because you're not doing anything to help yourself That's where I have a problem because this drug court was created to help people who want to help themselves.

So do you think this drug court program is going to help? She has been through so many drug programs. She's pathetic, she's been in and out. rehab left and right and nothing helps after a brief deliberation judge chanowski makes her decision. Sorry, I'm not referring her to drug court now that she has an extensive record and certainly now with eight new convictions on her record Denise Robertson was subsequently sentenced to a minimum of one year and 11 months and a maximum of 14 years in prison for all six felony counts. I just want to be shocked and disgusted by what I have done in Ogden, Utah, for the sentencing of Dia millerberg, 41, 3 years before millerberg, her husband and their babysitter Alexis Rasmusen, 16, shared alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs While engaging in sexual activity at the couple's home, the party eventually turned deadly after Eric Millerberg injected the 16-year-old girl with her third dose of heroin and methamphetamine, causing her to overdose.

Eric Millerberg, a convicted felon, allegedly feared that he would Alexis Rasmussen remained missing for more than a month until a confidential informant led her to prison if they alerted authorities, so the couple took Rasmussen's body to a remote area and buried her in a shallow grave. police to his body and back to the Miller BRS after the couple's arrest. Dia made a deal with prosecutors to testify against her husband in exchange for her. For a reduced sentence, she pleaded guilty to obstructing justice, illegally acquiring prescription drugs, and desecrating a corpse for 3 years. Millerberg was allowed to live free in Baale and was able to regain custody of her baby and elementary school-aged son, but now she is facing up to 15 years in prison.

Lexi's family and friends have to live with her. these decisions every day, even though I would never have made the decisions he made with my daughter. I go back again and again thinking about what I could have done totake things are different I wonder if she ever does the same thing before learning her sentence Millerberg turns to look at the victim's family Can you address the audience? I'm just shocked and disgusted by what I've done. I tell his family in a way that I can't hear my prayers and I hope that one day he can forgive me and then God will ask him to do it.

I'm not going to make excuses for what I've done. I think it would only make things worse. I have no way to express the magnitude of the pain I feel for the Alexis family for what I have done, but I take responsibility and thank you for letting me say peace. It is now up to Judge W Brent West to make a decision. he is um M millerberg and I believe that prison is the appropriate sentence in this particular situation. I realize that three years of allowing you to rebuild yourself and your family and everything of that nature and then coming in and saying, "Okay, Judge, you're going to destroy that, but I take these cases as I find them, um, already You know, I had no control, it took me 3 years to get this to the trial judge.

Millerberg's lawyer asked West to consider probation instead of prison, but he has a lot to consider that I have to balance the partnerships, the need for punishment, the need for rehabilitation and I ask for due respect, sir, sometimes it is not about the accused, thank you because sometimes you commit such extreme and atrocious acts and PR buries the body of this young woman hiding it from the police. you have to balance that and you have to put it all in perspective, the order in the court's sentencing will be that you will serve three indeterminate sentences in the Utah State Prison of 0 to 5 years will recommend that concurrents be presented Dia millerberg finally served four years and two. months in state prison while her husband Eric Millerberg was convicted of child abuse, murder, obstruction of justice, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, and abuse or desecration of a body and was sentenced to 6 years to life in prison. his job as a high school bus driver when one of his coworkers smelled alcohol on his breath and reported him to a supervisor, but not before Mcneel picked up 40 kids from school and began his usual afternoon route. .

It is not clear. If Mcneel knew about the report but ignored repeated calls from dispatchers after dropping off several children, he finally stopped when his supervisor caught up with him at which point he exited the bus and fell to the ground complaining that he couldn't breathe. . They were injured during the incident, but when the police came and tried to stop Mcneel, he didn't cooperate, so he definitely only had one pair, so hey, don't hit me, don't hit me, don't hit me, don't hit me . Yo, don't hit me, look, he's hitting me, he's hitting me, yeah, I don't understand, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, we're going to get everything back, we're going to be okay.

Mcneel was arrested and when tested, his blood alcohol level was 32, four times the legal limit. 008 agreed to plead guilty to all charges in exchange for a one-year sentence in county jail avoiding any time in a state prison PR for today's hearing to which mcneel arrived 2 hours late the defendant appears before Judge Terrence Perkins to officially enter his plea but before it all begins, Mcneel has something to say. I just want to add one more Dr. I didn't want to waste my time here. Him, you all work hard. I, I can't, I don't want to waste anyone's time, okay? and I'm very sorry, but the judge not only is not willing to accept McNeil's apology, but he is also not going to approve the plea agreement, this is the problem, so I think you are wronged today and I cannot accept the decision. you're disabled no, I'm not, I'm not disabled at all, okay, I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry, okay, we have a lab right here in the building, let's do this, so I'm I'm going to test you, Will alcohol or substances come to mind?

It's not right, so hold on, so let's go ahead and get tested, let's make sure I don't get tested, okay? So what I'm going to do, sir, is I'm going to go ahead and take you into custody right now because I think you're defenseless. I'm not unwell at all, so I'm afraid you're getting ahead here, so what I want to do is give you a test. We're going to give you a test and if you're not affected in any way, it certainly looks that way, sir, but if you're not affected in any way, you know? Do you know, on your honor, that you know how affected I am?

This is it, I have to go to jail, okay, very good, thank you sir, thank you. Mcneel was arrested. He was not charged with new charges, but his plea agreement was modified. He pleaded no contest to the original charges and was sentenced. to 1 and a half years in a Florida prison plus 3 and a half years of probation also lost his job as a school bus driver and is now prohibited from working or volunteering with children don't hit me look he's hitting me MH he is Getting to me now momentous Circuit Court of Sanford County, Florida, it is 6:30 p.m. and a one-day long trial has come to an end, the jury finds the defendant guilty of driving under the influence of the defendant is LTE Gonzalez, 46, although a verdict has already been reached on the DUI charge of González, his lawyer reaches a final conclusion. he pleads with Judge Fred because not enough evidence was presented for the jury to find the verdict they did.

They didn't do all the surprise field testing that should have been done during the trial. It was revealed that Gonzalez was never given a breathalyzer or had his blood drawn, but the arresting officer, Michael Wagner, recorded that his test was above the legal limit of 08 in his official report. Wagner claimed it was an honest mistake, but observed what he believed to be intoxication. I respectfully ask that this court grant the Judgment despite the fact that the lawyer is asking the judge to use his power to overturn the jury's verdict and acquit the defendant. It's a move rarely seen in the courtroom.

Well, this is not a purely circumstantial case, so I'm going to deny the motion for joa, it seems that the case is closed but the judge has other matters with González now we have this other case for suspended entry license two months after his arrest for DUI Gonzalez was ticketed for driving with a suspended license the issue is the only reason her license was suspended due to inaccurate documentation presented by Officer Wagner. I want to clarify that it was a mistake, I admit that Michael Wagner testified that he today had his driver's license suspended for at least a few months without anything.

You are going to know how to proceed in that case or I am going to get angry with you. Today the judge addresses the prosecutor Diana. Maybe you can get angry with me, honor, but given this, why would I wait a minute? He heard the uncontroverted testimony of this officer. Your honor, then I want you to charge him with perjury, your honor, will you accept it for perjury? He admitted that it was a mistake, your honor, no, but he lied, he lied on a sworn Absolute, it is not his honor, and that is not TRUE. I'm dismissing I'm dismissing I'm dismissing I'm dismissing I'm dismissing this charge no I'm dismissing the charge the judge just dismissed the defendant's next case but it's not over yet this whole case was and I have no idea how they are in stts to continue I'm I'm I'm I'm resending the sentence I'm granting the judge's shot joa just reversed his decision and acquitted the accused on the spot so you're granting it because you don't agree with the state's decision I'm Granting the joa In justice In justice because you don't like the state's decision today you are Honor in the case no you are not Now that I consider what Officer Wagner testified and how many times he basically tripped over himself just to arrest this lady without real probable cause, the motion is over. , joa is granted and is not going to provide a written order on that, no, she wants to appeal to me, no thank you, her honor case should never have been done.

I have never thanked him for informing us that his Honor, the accused LED González leaves the courtroom free of all charges. Then we are in Orange County, Florida, where the defendant will make his second appearance here in court. Camp Jeremy. I said that? true, yes sir, Jeremy DT, 41, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The Orange County Sheriff's Office is very familiar with DT. Oh God, not him again. It's Jeremy, as DT has been arrested several times in the past and convicted once for impersonating a police officer. Officer, what are you doing? What do I look like I'm doing?

It's over before you know it. Stop Turing. Your police officer runs a security company that provides escort services during funeral processions, but he has a long history of using this business to drive. recklessly through traffic blocking intersections, go P Me, pass, pass me and confront other drivers when you think they are disrupting your services, hey, stop, stop, the police finally caught up with DT and he was charged in two different counties of impersonating an officer and failing to register as a sex offender, he was released in Bond and that's when the police caught up with him again 10 months later, an officer stops him along with one of his employees when he sees him carrying what appears to be a gun firearm, do not take that firearm. stay away from your bike keep your hands up keep your hands up get on your knees don't reach for that firearm you're being safe because you're openly carrying a firearm what you're openly carrying a firearm it's illegal to openly carry a firearm fire in Florida and after he is handcuffed the officer tries to take off DT's helmet which the fax police officer doesn't appreciate, what do you think I help you?

I'm trying to identify you because I can't see you trying to identify me. when the DT finds out why they are arresting him he gets furious carrying a pepper ball you know I don't know that that is a firearm that is a firearm right now Jeremy they are arresting you for carrying a concealed weapon channel was in simple view that is not simple view it is Casal all that what you are talking about is furious with the police and it seems that he only has one thing in mind give me a lieutenant give me a lieutenant it was his view PL is his view PL give me a lieutenant come out, sit down and shut up where is the LIE where is the lieutenant where is the lieutenant but the real police don't take kindly to their demands give me a lieutenant this is not right are you listening to me? are you listening to me?

I'm a deputy, I'm not an official, you don't tell me what to do, stop yelling at me and I'm going to stop yelling at you, don't yell, don't raise your voice at me, sir, do you understand? I understand. You've already asked the sergeant for a lieutenant. You can't choose who comes with the traffic stop. He is taken to the station and officially charged with carrying a concealed weapon, but when it is later determined it was just an unloaded pepper ball. gun, this one online is identified as a Glock basically a Glock replica, can you show me here anywhere?

I mean, I don't know why you would have a light on a less lethal one, but can you show me somewhere here that will give someone the idea? that this is not a firearm that is less Leal I can't answer no I don't make them but you know they are less Leal no no I'm not asking you if I saw this I wouldn't know it's where you're from, but you can save it for someone else. Okay, how are you doing, sir? Good how are you? Charges are dropped wherever you want to go. Do you need a ride?

Where can I take you? Amazing how nice you guys are when you make a mistake thanks come on come on but DT is far from out of the woods due to this recent arrest, his current bail is revoked so DT goes before the judge to clear up the situation. on bail, they revoked my bail with a new charge, but that charge was dropped. It has about 10 or 11 other pieces that have, oh, you've got a bunch of different cases in there. Stay right. DT was eventually released with his bail back in place, but he will still stand. trial for impersonating a police officer and if convicted he could face 5 years in prison.

Thank you, your honor, have a good day. Next time we head to Pontiac Michigan for a sentencing. Catherine Howling, 27, has played LED without competition. six counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of delivery of a controlled substance to a minor a year earlier Howling was a high school special needs teacher when she was accused of having sexual relations multiple times with two boys, ages 16 and 17. years, one of them. a student with special needs the activities occurred off school property in cars and in an apartment the defense and who is married was also charged with providing drugs and alcohol to children after an internal school investigation that uncovered images of howls partying with students she was fired and then charged by police howls initially pleaded not guilty, but to avoid a trial she took a deal and pleaded no contest to the charges today howls appears in a packed courtroom before Judge Ray Le Chabot to hear his sentence, but the first members of the familymake impact statements Starting with one of the victim's mothers, my son became the punchline of jokes and was even made fun of by students from another school during a district basketball game where they yelled at teachers while he was On the court, this relationship included unapproved trips home, alcohol, sex in cars. and even Ms.

Hing, who snuck into my house in the middle of the night to be with my son, is the uncle and guardian of one of the victims. When I came back from dinner, he was as high as a kite from the drugs she had given my nephew. To me this is ridiculous, it's better to do that, finally County Attorney Sarah Pope Starns asked the judge to stick to the suggested guidelines of 15 years in prison for each count. Up to this point, this defendant has expressed without remorse, this is everyone else's fault, her fault. the victims even up until the day before she was inter

viewed

by the police she was texting the victim wanting to know if he could go out with her.

I do not believe that the defendant gave this court any reason to go below the counseling guidelines before the judge issues her sentence. I speak to the court as well as to the families of the victims. I want to begin by taking responsibility for my actions. I understand that my actions have consequences I want to apologize to all parties involved specifically to my students I know my actions betrayed the duty and responsibility I had towards them as a teacher I sincerely never intended for my relationship with them to cause problems for them when they end The judge hands down his sentence of 4 to 15 years in prison for each of the six counts of criminal sexual conduct and for delivery of drugs to a minor from 4 to 8 years old.

All sentences will run simultaneously. Howling will serve a minimum of 4 years. and 3 months of your sentence stand up and raise your right hand for jury duty please stand up we are headed to the Miami Dade bond court in Miami Florida whoever sleeps there you too can wake up in the back row where Judge Mindy Glazers oversees bond hearings. I have some ads. I'm going to name the audience. advocate to represent all defendants unless you tell me you have the money to pay for a private attorney or if you are hiring a private attorney and there is one here too, please let me know if you have served in the United States military or any other of good reserves.

Good morning, over the next few hours you will see dozens of defendants. You were arrested for second degree murder when they came in. I'm in the military, your honor, and get out quickly. Hello, Mr. Booth, how are you? How are you doing? "I'm fine ma'am, Booth, 49, is a career criminal charged with robbery, grand theft, fleeing and resisting arrest. He actually has three arrests and claims reckless driving and property damage. He left the accident scene with serious injuries no serious injuries Sorry, no serious injuries Well, after questioning, Judge Glazer explains the terms of his bond The bond on the first charge is 7500, but the judge notices something. familiar about this defendant.

Well, Mr. Booth, I have a question for you. Mom, did you go to Nautilus for High School oh my God, oh my God, I'm sorry to see you there. I always wondered what happened to you, sir, oh my God. , this is the nicest kid in high school, oh my god, he was the best kid in high school that I used to play soccer with with all the kids and look what happened, I'm sorry, oh my god, the reunion. surprise between the two former high school classmates is al

most

too much for Boo to handle, oh my goodness, once a promising student, Booth fell into the drug and gambling addictions that led to him. to a life of petty crime resulting in multiple prison stays, oh my goodness, good luck to you sir.

I hope he can come out of this okay and just live a legal life. The meeting concludes somberly when Glazer sets bail at $443,000, oh my god. Oh my god, it's really you, oh my god, Booth is sent to prison for 10 months and then released into a drug treatment program. For this next story, we want to warn you that the facts are gruesome, but as you will see, audacious escapes are not only attempted in the American Legal System as we head to Russia, this is the lone 18-year-old Graser, who is on trial in Moscow, Russia, for the murder of his sister Aradia Coral, according to the defendant, Satan ordered him to kill his 21-year-old sister. sister whom he stabbed several times sorry today Graser is in Shinsky court Behind the walls of a glass cage, this practice is rarely seen today outside of Russia to prevent dangerous criminals from attacking or possibly even escaping, which is Exactly what Graser plans to do, it seems now Grazers calms down, but

moments

later he somehow slips through the slats on top of the bulletproof safety dock.

A gap in the video does not reveal how he did it, but if we look again, the officers consider opening the box to arrest him, but Graser. Far ahead of them, an officer hits him but he doesn't give up. The officer runs and presses a large button on the wall calling for backup. Graser's pants are coming off during the escape. The officer has a firm grip on Graser's leg and does not move closer. to release him then another officer arrives at this point these russian officers are not playing while the taser comes out he makes sure graser knows what is about to happen because grazers finally had enough after putting his pants back on grazers will continue making a full confession for the murder and said he has no regrets about what Austin Boon did next we are in Louisville Kentucky where Austin Boon, 20, is charged with speeding and possession of drug paraphernalia.

His attorney prepared Boon, but when Judge Stephanie Pierce Bur hits him with a tough question: How do you plead guilty to the 22-year-old speeding in possession of drug paraphernalia on Jan. 23? He crumbles under the pressure because she told me you say guilty or not guilty, well if you plead guilty then I can give him the plea deal he made, yeah any deal was fine the deal was to plead guilty and get a $44 fine plus traffic school plus a $100 fine in the drug suspension area, I would pay that today and then go into traffic. school so you didn't get the six points on your license is that what you understood is fine despite his initial confusion, it looks like Boon will be on his way after accepting the conditions of his plea deal, but as the judge finalize the details, you pay 178 today A B if the notice is a problem with Boon's attire in the courtroom, pull your hands 178 just how As he goes on he doesn't like his answer, the best friend brings the sagging pants of Boon to judge Burke's attention P his pants, your pants must be up when you're in a courtroom they're up, no sir, they're up so he's got a bill, call the judge and they're going around, that it's inappropriate, they need to be around your waist, not under your butt P, your pants up, you've been under your butt, I mean my SE my basketball shorts not even my boxes while some people in the courtroom They find the sagging pants repressed funny Judge Burke doesn't understand that he's in court Yes, ma'am, okay, do what the judge says and that's take off your pants around your What do you want me to put your hands up?

If you have to tighten your belt you are going to be an adult when you come to court. Do you understand yes, but right now I'm trying to get out of court? You're going to stay a lot longer than you'd like if you don't take off your pants, man, they're, what do you want? Take a seat, take a seat, take a seat, because I said so. Austin Boon might be laughing now, but when she is called back in front of Judge Burke 15 minutes later, she reminds him who wears the pants in the courtroom. I told him to pull up his pants several times and gave him the opportunity to do so.

Instead, he wanted to discuss it and take action. He was a fool when I put you in that box which was to give you a few

moments

to be able to discuss that with you privately at the end of this file, but instead of using his time in the jury box to pull up his big boy pants, Boon. Instead, she took them off. He now appears only wearing the sports shorts that were underneath. Taking off his pants was extremely poor judgment. OK. I'm arresting you for contempt. I'm going to sentence you to seven days to serve for direct contempt of court, right?

Seriously, I'm serious, why, because you don't know how to act, they might be enough. I took them all as BS, I stopped Boon. He, Vo, this is a big concern. What's wrong with my pants? You keep your property. Austin Boon finally turned two days old. in jail on the contempt of court charge and on his original charges of speeding and possession of drug paraphernalia, the judge honored his plea agreement and ordered him to attend traffic school and pay $178 in fines, but it hurts, so next we head to Eureka Kansas for a virtual hearing Caris Green, 24, has been charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia a month earlier.

Green was driving to Georgia when she was pulled over for speeding and then arrested on drug charges with her mother posting $7,500 bail. She was released, but Green then failed to arrive for her scheduled court date and a warrant was issued for her arrest today. She appears remotely before Judge Phyllis Webster to find out if she will be detained or remain free on bail awaiting trial, where is she miss? Green in Alaska, who is Cynthia Miller, that's my mom, okay, you just cost her $7,500 for not coming to court, she's going to lose, there's no way that was cash bail, looks like we have to decide what to do with that order, M Jette, what is it?

What do you think about it? Do you have a position on whether she stands up or not? I think they'll get me up if she calls Sports Services every week under Sheriff Cox. Does her office take a position on what to do regarding that order? Yes, your honor, I do so because I have information that she is actually in peblo Colorado not in Alaska peblo yes no who was the gentleman walking behind you in the photo a while ago his name is Dale Dale what Dale uh Dale Whitman Good afternoon, your honor, good afternoon, can you put your place? the camera please oh I didn't realize she was in the video.

I apologize for my appearance. Okay, where do you live? I live in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado and you are home right now. I'm fine thanks. Mr. Miss Green, yes, you just lied to me. Do you remember when this hearing began? You said you were in Alaska. Oh, why did you lie to me? Do you realize that you put me in a position where I can't trust anything? I'm ready to vacate his court order, but then he lied and said he was in Alaska and I found out he's in Colorado. Does that change anyone's recommendations since she flat out lied?

I think the warrant should defend her honor, yes that's what I'm also thinking let's drop that warrant please, is there any way you can change the war so well? I would have you if you hadn't lied to me. Very sorry. I'm going to have you sit there for a while while I think about what I'm going to do with you, okay, okay, while the judge stays green on zoom. And Sheriff Cox leaves the call to contact the police in Colorado, Green has meanwhile moved on. outside I'm going to leave your active order I'm going to leave my Is there any way I could want?

I cancel it. I am a man, ma'am. I know, I screwed up. No, don't use that language in court. that's content, I'm really sorry, I know I made a big mistake and I really apologized for lying to her in her court saying it really wasn't a good idea, but at this point the local police arrived to arrest Green on her court order. . okay, are you there for her on her court order? Marshall's okay, well, you go with him now, then we'll stop playing. You better call your mom and tell her you cost her $77,500 in her bail. go with him, okay, Green was arrested and released after posting a new $5,000 bond.

If she is convicted of possession of math and drug paraphernalia charges, she could be sentenced to 10 to 42 months in prison. Her case is pending. Next time we go to a sentencing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the defendant is Brendan Wisinski, 18, accused of impersonating a sheriff's deputy. 6 months earlier, Wasinski was driving an unmarked car with a police siren when he pulled over a driver for speeding. Albuquerque Police Officer Danny Anzo arrived on scene and thinking something strange about the situation I decided to check it out talk to her for a minute you work for ear okay I know I'm not well equipped do you have an idea with you?

This is all I have on me. Like I said, I'm not well, I'm not well equipped, I was just heading to the courthouse toKnow how to fix my shit, okay? The wannabe cop sticks to his story. I know it doesn't make sense. She caught it going at 120 degrees. I40, the officer has Wisinski hanging around while he reviews his history while he waits for a response. Anzo casually chats with Wasinski from officer to officer and I'm not here to mess with you, it's just that yeah, he was speeding. Dude, you could have called him and because if you're into shooting, you're good, man.

I understand this to start. I know this looks really bad, this looks really bad, this screams a lot, how long have you been at about 3 years, okay? I've been at this for about 13 years. I'm not saying it's perfect, but you need to be a little more careful, so do me a favor, hang up for a second, okay, yes sir, it looks like the officer might be allowing you. Don't go so fast Enzo asks a supervisor from the Bernal Sheriff's Office Leo to come to the scene meanwhile he puts Wisinski in the back of his Cruiser Do you have anything on you?

Some weapon or something? Okay, um, okay. take a seat, okay, okay, it looks like this strange game of good cop, fake cop, may be coming to an end, so Wisinski comes clean, I'm talking real fast, yeah, give me a second, what's up, man? Okay, I'm just going to be Honestly honest with you, I'm not a cop, okay, okay, I'm just going to be, you'll get that badge if you bought it offline, okay, do me a favor, stay here, okay, please. one second. after discussing the strange situation with his sergeant anzo makes the next move hey brandon get out of the vehicle for a second man okay look at the vehicle right now you are under arrest before heading downtown wisinski sheds some tears in the back seat so I need you to lie down a little.

Can I please help my wife? I'll give you um we'll give you when we get to the substation I'll give you um we'll call her okay it was ink he's previously accused of impersonating an officer, a misdemeanor and a second officer takes him to jail yeah buddy he can't pretend to be a cop, yeah I know, stupid, let's learn just as they head downtown, the reality of the situation kicks in for this fake cop. It's a great idea to know that in about 2 minutes my life pre D now that he finds himself before a very real judge instead of fighting the charge, Wasinski pleads no contest, sentenced to a year of probation, the judge also rules that can't. carry firearms or handcuffs and must undergo a psychiatric evaluation because I don't want any type of offense in this type of case, does that make sense?

But this fake Sheriff story doesn't end there. Wisinski violates his probation by not getting that psychological evaluation, but gets a break when the judge gives him an additional 2 weeks to complete the evaluation when they told me of his extension wasinski presses his lock. I can do the best I can, your honor, I mean, Honestly, I have a lot going on right now and it's stressful, but it's going to be harder for me to do it right, so just to let you know that we all have a lot going on and it's very stressful for everyone, but this is very, very important and I'm not going to give you any more time than that Wasinski finally completed his evaluation and was able to avoid jail and hopefully his days of impersonating an officer are over this looks very bad this screams broken as for the driver who was stopped by Wasinski, of course he was free to leave.

We're in Detroit, Michigan, where murdered 29-year-old Dominique is scheduled to turn himself in. and begin a prison sentence previously ordered 3 years earlier Slaughter was arrested on charges of possession of a stolen credit card and carrying a concealed weapon. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year in jail and 18 months of probation plus restitution and fines despite failing to appear. Jail Judge Kelly Ramsey allowed Slaughter to remain on probation for the GPS strap while he worked to pay. his restitution and also resolve six outstanding warrants he had in other jurisdictions Today, 14 months after sentencing, Slaughter was scheduled to surrender to court and begin serving his sentence. year in jail, but first Slaughter's probation officer, Britney, informs the judge that Slaughter hasn't exactly been complying with his probation order.

Mr. Slaughter still has not paid anything toward the cost of his fees or his restitution; he has not resolved the six outstanding warrants he now had. He also has four additional warrants which are for driving without a license and possession of narcotics. He did not appear at the sentencing. The um tether reports will show that you have multiple outages of your tether which means that you have not charged that tether and it was close there are a total of 11 closes and then there is a source zone um violations there are also 21 of those violations that say that He is not in the house when he was required to be in the house, but the judge seems more concerned about getting him slaughtered to serve his long prison sentence.

I'm not going to address any of this today. This is Mr. Slaughter's surrender date and that is what will happen if a probation violation or bond violation record is filed after this. then you will receive a notice and we will listen to him when the judge mentions his impending imprisonment. Slaughter becomes distressed, raising his hands and holding his head. What is bothering you? Mr. Slaughter Sheriff, you don't like it when you turn around, stay still, look at me, this is a surrender, I'm sorry I asked for an update, Mr. Slaughter, if even a fraction of what you said is true, no, this is a surrender date, Mr.

Slaughter, a surrender date. I didn't think they would lock me up because the job is why I thought I was going to get Contin that's why I even went to work today objection to work release if work release is offered Mr. SLO if it is offered it is not offered it no longer exists this was a declaration, not a judgment, a statement. I'm not Rel litigating where are we going to give my director tomorrow I just wanted to make sure my wife knew it was today the direct will be there tomorrow I your wife doesn't have access to your bank account?

No, she doesn't No, she doesn't, my wife has a SP problem, so she cheated all my money for that's all. What are you going to do for the next 11 months at the Wayne County Jail? She will have to figure it out right and then I had to figure it out before today is the delivery date. Mr. Slaughter, Judge Ramsay, has had enough and is ready to move on, but Slaughter continues to ask for more time each morning. I keep saying this is false, Mr. Slaughter, you can't ask me. for the longest time I have been your generous your generous gift Mr.

Slaughter, see the three pages of people who need to see me today at least all just tonight I would turn myself in in the morning I will go straight today is the day of how many places will you take me out for a few hours per please just a few hours just my that was last night that was last night you are at the end of your parole you have to serve this time my Sheriff come on, come on, now breed the law has its consequences Slaughter is now serving his year in prison when he is released, still He will need to complete four more months of probation.

Next time we go to Flint, Michigan, for a virtual civil hearing, Judge Herman Marble, presiding, Timothy Moore, has filed a lawsuit against his aunt. cha love claims she has violated a lease moore had recently rented a house to love but now wants her to move out as he claims the lease expired Mr. Moore, you indicated the lease had expired yes, I don't see a copy of the lease attached to the complaint she has the lease I don't have the lease but you say the lease has expired so how can I see the dates if you don't have a copy?

The judge is now heading to love who appears in person she has the lease but she doesn't seem to have read it so what you didn't read Mar I thought she wouldn't do me like that because I had just lost my sister and I moved into the house thinking that my nephew would Do right by me, oh boy, there are things written in two different colored inks. I do not know what that means. It does not indicate how long the trend lasts. This is what I'm going to do, okay? to J, yesterday was my birthday and I hate having to come here today, everyone thinks his birthday is a special exemption for something that isn't, I mean, everyone, I mean, this is the second day in a row I've heard someone say Well, it's my birthday, so you know the rules don't apply.

What's going on? Oh my God, I'm not a judge in juvenile court. Okay, I'm a judge in the district court. Dealing with adults. You know what I'm saying, so you know when. an 8 year old tells me it's his birthday, you know, I say, well, happy birthday, 8 year old, but when grown people tell me it's his birthday and therefore I don't have to do this or I shouldn't have done it. show up record or blah blah blah I really don't understand that's because it's a special day for me and my sister that happened. I understand it, but it has nothing to do with the court and what we have to do as a Judge, no one's birthday exempts them from coming to court, not even mine I guess I missed that memo about you know the birth, the Adult birthdays exempt them from doing things, no, it doesn't.

Okay, can I talk? No, I don't think you should, I think. You shouldn't, I think we should end it now by telling you that it's been postponed until October 12th, we'll talk in October and it will be a week after I'm born, maybe I won't show up that day because it's a week later. my birthday and I don't want to show up that day the parties returned a few weeks later but the case is still pending now we are in the El Paso County Courthouse in El Paso, Texas, very good, take a seat, the record should reflect the state's attorneys the lawyers for the defendants the defendants are present in the courtroom the man you see here is Daniel Vias, 41, accused of killing two teenagers in 1993, when he was only 16 years old at the time, without a lawyer nor his parents present Vias says that an El Paso detective forced him to confess to the murders despite recanting the confession hours later, this became a key piece of evidence for the president of the prosecutor's office in the courtroom. court.

The court received a message from the jury indicating that they have reached a verdict. Vegus has been tried three times for this crime and has maintained his innocence at all times. Let's bring in the jury. His first trial in 1994 ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury. A retrial in 1995 ended with a conviction for capital murder. and Vias was sentenced to life in prison after spending 18 years in prison; The verdict was overturned in 2013 due to ineffective assistance from the VUS council. He was released from prison in January 2014 and remained free while awaiting a third trial during that time. fed two children, although the prosecution continued to insist on his guilt, there was no DNA, no firearm or forensic evidence was presented linking Vegus to the shooting, if the defendant will please endure the last 25 years of his life , much of his stay in prison has led up to this moment in the District Court of Al Paso County, Texas, 49th Judicial District, the state of Texas v.

Daniel Vias number 94 d0 9328 verdict Form B, the jury declares that Defendant Daniel was not guilty for the first time since he was 16 years old. 25 years ago Daniel Vias is a free man Mr Vias you have been under many conditions in this court you are no longer under any conditions in this court you are free to leave good luck you are in cont Mr chelate shut up right now stormy we' We are in Eureka Montana and the man who wears the no hunting or trespassing sign around his neck is the proverbial sovereign citizen of Ernie Telan Montana, better known as the Natural Living Man.

The 57-year-old is representing himself in court today accused of driving with a suspended license and obstructing a peace officer during his arrest, but now after Trell was interrupted during jury selection, Judge Stormy Langston is holding you for contempt of court, you are in contempt, Mr. Tate, don't be silent right now, in contempt of the law, Stormy, you are in contempt. of the law I'm defending my constitution my country please while security tries to eliminate telat City Attorney Clifton Hayden keeps one of his supporters in B keep your hands off me keep your hands off me keep your hands off me H you are Guilty of carrying out a military crime I'm such as it seems Telgate is being escorted out he no no harm what are we doing back off?

Telgate is al

most

out of the courtroom when he grabs the door and pushes back the officer don't hurt what are we doing? back off leave me alone Quinton as the somewhat awkward wrestling match continues trell gets followers in the comment this man leave me alone deserves to leave me Alti hasn't done anything wrong why Noble has done why Has no one been able to tell him what's wrong? Back up, are you getting into this? I'm backing up, respect me from the floor telgate continues. The sovereign citizen's argument that thecourt has no jurisdiction over him when I comply, it won't be because the contract is established when Tate is finally handcuffed one of his followers addresses Judge Langston your honor can I ask a question without get what is your question sir my question is what did he do wrong Ernie what did he do wrong he is not following the procedure andur what are the procedures that the two follow the court has no jurisdiction this court has never answered for anything less the common rules of being civil in a civil society can we can we maintain that the official materials all these people listen all these people delete my materials? get my hat, my Constitution after the incident Ernie Telgate was found guilty of contempt of court, but he served no jail time.

He was also charged with assaulting a police officer. That case is still pending, as for his original charge of driving with a suspended license, he was also charged. convicted but again served no prison time the charge of obstructing a peace officer was dismissed the drugs were there I didn't put the narcotics there we headed to Jackson County, Florida for the trial of Zachary Wester the former deputy sheriff was charged with 67 counts of extortion fabricating evidence false imprisonment and possession of controlled substances Wester accused of planting drugs in a dozen vehicles during random traffic stops appears to be an illegal narcotic do you know anything about it?

Not all drivers denied possessing the drugs, but still the majority. Afterwards he was arrested, the arrest caused internal suspicion and in 2018 Wester was suspended 3 years later, the case went to trial. He pleaded not guilty to all charges. This is a case about an abuse of incredible power, about the abuse of the incredible trust that we all place. We have to implement law enforcement in a society where the prosecution relied on the defendant's own body camera footage to help argue his case. Steven Van, a convicted felon, had recently been released from jail when Wester allegedly found methamphetamine in his car.

Have you ever seen this before? What's that? I'm just trying to figure out how those things got into your car. You're going to jail today. Mother's position. It's okay, oh man. I'm serious. Anything you want me to do. Man, like the other drivers. who testified, the truck gave the officer permission to search his car because he claims he had nothing to hide and I knew my truck was clean. He knew, while the jury was able to observe most of the traffic stops, some recordings had mysteriously disappeared. Why in the world would it have been removed I wish I knew that answer, ironically the body camera footage would become the strongest element in the prosecution's case especially when it comes to Teresa Odum Hi, how are you?

I'm good at first, the officer is polite, even playful, anything. The vehicle has to worry about bombs, H-grenades, rocket launchers, while ODM is behind the vehicle. West begins the search for him. Notice as he prepares to put on the gloves. There is a small object in his left hand. Prosecutors argue that Wester is holding a small bag of methamphetamine. which he says he found next to a spoon in the vehicle, it's yogurt, sir, I know, okay, it's yogurt, how about this? So that's not mine, no sir, now the little white plastic bag that was on that spoon that the officer just showed you in this In the video, have you ever seen that before?

No man was in his car. No sir. As for motive, prosecutors say the 28-year-old officer was ambitious and wanted to move into narcotics as quickly as possible. Wester testified that he never planted any drugs. The drugs were there. I did not put the narcotics there and after 5 days and several witnesses, the jury was asked to return a verdict. If Westers was found guilty on all charges, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. After 7 hours, the jury returns with its verdict in the State of Florida versus Zachary Tyler Wester. The jury finds the following regarding the charge of the count and the information considers that one is guilty of reter according to the charges, the secretary went on to read the verdicts. of 67 counts, count 7, including guilty of official misconduct as charged in total, the corrupt officer was found guilty of 19 counts, count nine guilty of official misconduct as charged, count 10 guilty of official misconduct as charged charges, including misconduct in the arrests of Van and Teresa Odum 11 of the 12 drivers filed civil lawsuits against Wester in July 2021, he was sentenced to 12 and a half years in state prison.

Then we're in Charleston, West Virginia, for a pretrial hearing andry T Elden Henry T Elden Henry T elen Henry T Elden is in the courtroom but refuses the magistrate's order to come to the defendant's table. I have called him three times. I don't have an answer. He gets up here in this seat right now. That's right, the judge called him three times. Elden faces multiple charges, including fraud. official proceedings and fraudulent debt service related to the false filing of claims with the court today you were joined in the courtroom by a friend who is recording the proceedings on his cell phone and is getting involved himself I am a witness, okay, okay, what I'm saying is he's president and he's chosen not to step forward, he's not asking for an appointed attorney, he doesn't need an attorney, so you're acting in the capacity that I'm not acting in, I'm a witness to this, an American national, an American national, an American national.

It is another nod to the sovereign citizen movement with which both he and the accused identify. Eventually, Elden responds to Magistrate Ward, but he still refuses to come because the court reporter must be established before anything can proceed. Well, get up in your seat. now and we will wait until we have something preliminary, we are all waiting for the court report to be done, do it now, okay, this state against Henry C El J Mr. ELD, I am at the defendants' table for the record on record. Feel. You sit and don't say another word, seemingly growing more irritated, the magistrate turns to his assistant in the courtroom for help.

Could you tell Mr. to show you where the seat is? Please, I have permission. You can take a seat up front. You can have a seat right there. Elden finally takes the stand before the judge but it won't be long they'll keep him happy okay sir defend me please turn around put your hands behind your back if you want and who are you and do you have a warrant judicial? I don't have a court order. The judge has just informed me that he wants me to arrest him to build the judicial process. Okay, but before the magistrate arrests and handcuffs the defendant, he pulls. one final move out of every parenting playbook and count to three one take a seat take a seat please I would like to speak and I have information to present I don't know how I am instructing last night and we will proceed again locked in a stalemate the magistrate simply decides Get down to business, how can you do it?

I would like to see his oath of office. I would like to see your letter accepting and acknowledging your position and I would like to see the same for the prosecutor and to know the names of everyone in this room I need it before I understand what is happening sir so the answer and I will answer for him is not guilty. I haven't done any threesomes nor should I. I do not do it. I agree that I do not accept AC, the court did not confirm the details, but according to Elden he did not show up for his next court hearing and was arrested on a warrant and served 2 weeks in jail.

He also says the original fraudulent service and fraudulent official proceedings charges against him were later dropped. Thank you for being a fan of Court cam. Subscribe to A&E to never miss a new video and watch full episodes at aet.com.
