@@carrite😂😂 I can’t pronounce the word acquiesce and have the mental aptitude of a baked potato, but like you, your honor, I can grasp complex legal concepts. 🙄
Must be super disheartening as that officer to risk your life, chasing a speeding deadbeat drunk person, trying to get them off the road, only to have him act like a petulant child in court and then have the prosecutor basically give him a pass and the defence make a mockery of your examination. Both the prosecution and defence seemed incredibly disinterested in doing their jobs on this day.
The problem is that he will do it again and again until someone is killed or maimed horribly by his alcohol induced mind. That is one of the biggest complaints of the police. I know someone who lived in GA and he had 8 DUIs, then he moved to PA where he wound up losing his license after 3 DUIs there.
Both prosecutor and defense rep seemed way out of practice or sleeping on the job here. There are many armchair lawyers out there, and many of them could have done a much better job than these two.
I am gobsmacked at how pathetic these 2 lawyers are, no wonder so many people are killed on the road by drunk drivers. There is no possibility this will change with muppets like these two handling these cases.
MADD also has officers falsifying arrests!!!! The initial mission was perfect!!! Maybe the MADD organization needs to be sued for creating a departmental point system for rewards!!! For promotions in some departments!!! Is MADD willing apologize to the innocent drivers their programs gave incentives for officers to lie and abuse to gain personal gain from!!!
I can assure you that MADD only cares about their 15 second soundbite after a tragedy. Just go and try to get a response from them for anything other than how to donate $$$$$$$. Go to Google Maps and Yelp where you live and look at reviews.
Money vs Justice? Guess which one almost always wins. And if it doesn't, then its either political or something personal the judge has against the defendant.
I agree. Someone who sits there and disagrees with our entire system and refuses to follow it as well. And how many times have police let him go because it was easier. And the reason I ask is because of cases like this. Why would an officer want to do all kinds of work to get a dangerous person off the street but prosecution refuses to keep them off the street.
Yes. However, it's more comicated than that. We are unwilling to do the things that actually head off this behavior. We have such a problem with it, there is significant burden to actually holding people accountable.
That works out well because the prosecutor did a great job of getting a sweet deal for the defendant! Seriously, it's nuts... He had BAC of 0.251 where the felony limit is 0.080 max, so that's more than TRIPLE the felony limit!! They offered him misdemeanor "impaired driving," which is the crime for driving "a bit tipsy." The guy was blotto drunk and a serious danger for killing people, not just a tipsy fender scratch. And then she left the misdemeanor offer open AFTER the felony prelim exam!! Who does that?? As Judge Middleton pointed out, hell, EVERYBODY should insist on a prelim exam if it means than can simply choose to plead to a pittance misdemeanor instead of accepting responsibility for a felony! This case is nuts. The only sane person here is Judge Middleton.
It's true. Many sovcits (and others) are sitting in prison with life sentences and still arguing jurisdiction, as is their legal right, until it becomes "frivolous or repetitive."
@eshuorishas9987 prosecution from this point on doesn't have to give the defendant sich a sweet plea offer. Defendant is being a tool, and now that prosecution knows exactly how defense is going to play the game, prosecution should ram it good to defendant and stand their ground
Prosecution does not plead, they may offer a plea deal but again, they can withdraw it and he is left with guilty, not guilty or no contest. That is it.
It is silly why would anyone offer that deal - its like having all aces and folding. Has to be something realy wrong with the evidence to even offer a deal like that. Did the officer "meow" or something?
So, did the former defence attorney, acting as prosecutor, forget that she’s not a defence attorney anymore? Offering a person with zero contrition or remorse, acting arrogantly in court, who was driving with a blood alcohol level almost three times the legal limit, who fled from police at a high rate of speed, endangering the lives of the public, and then clearly resisting the police and failing to comply, and it sounds like he was more than likely harassing hospital staff, a sweetheart plea deal, after the pre lim?! Wtf is going on here???
@@remliqaI believe his last name is Marvin. Their prosecutor office is influx and understaffed, I'm sure that has some weight when offering plea deals.
I definitely got the impression she'd been told not to push this. She looked frustrated and did everything but throw her hands in the air in surrender and announce, "Yep, it's ridiculous, but this is how we're playing this. And he refuses to recognize the miracle deal we're offering and lacks the good sense to take it and run." I have a feeling the next move will be for the case to be dismissed by the prosecutor.
More than 3 times the legal limit should never be a misdemeanor! Offering a deal like that should be against the law!!! I do not want to drive on the road with this man......EVER!! It's a good thing he's getting a chauffeur. If you believe this, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
If you are paying attention to the road and other drivers, you maybe able to react! I ve been hit my a drunk driver and have had family members severely impacted, one dead by a DUI driver! Excuses...... Both sides had excuses!!!!! Drunk or not drunk, not PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD SHOULD BE THE SAME!!!! On your cellphone, makeup, eating, changing the station!!!! DUIs kill less people than everything I just listed!!!! A DUI, eating frys, yelling at your kids!!!!! Its killed people!!! It doesnt matter if you didnt mean too!!! YOU DID!!!!
It’s a felony _arrest_ in every state in the union. But you can plead many felonies down to a misdemeanor, DUI/DWI/OWI included. Of course the prosecutor would need to make that offer and the accused would have to accept it. This defendant of course can’t figure out what a sweetheart deal that would be.
"I know what it means and you don't" "It means you don't accept jurisdiction and you can challenge that while you're sitting in the St. Joe county jail." "And if he wants to believe something he read on the back of a cereal box and have a felony transferred to Circuit Court that makes much less aggravation for me" ...A few moments of Judge Middleton being savage..😂
@@minniegirl175she's running for prosecutor and was let go by the guy she is running against. The reason for letting her go had to do with another case.
The Judge was right - If the plea agreement stays on the table after the preliminary examination, then there is absolutely no harm in requiring the preliminary examination and seeing what it says. But we all know that this defendant has no intention of accepting a plea because the court doesn't have jurisdiction over the Person or his Estate and this is not a military court 😂
The point of plea deals is to save the peoples time and money. If the deal stays on the table afterwords then there is no incentive to take the deal when you can still waste everyone’s time by just rolling the dice to see what happens then take the deal anyway. It makes no sense.
PD: "How often do you calibrate your radar gun?" Cop: "We are not certified to do so, a technician does this, we just check to make sure it works." PD: "So how often do you calibrate your radar gun?" I know there's something of a trick to elicit a different response by changing the wording of a question, but asking the exact same question twice isn't going to work.
The whole thing with the calibration question is to get radar speed data tossed. It was a way to get out of a speeding ticket by getting the officers training record and calibration records for the tuning fork and radar. When radar speed checks first started, one or more of the documents would be incomplete, missing, or out of date. With that, the court would be compelled to dismiss the case.
With the second question she meant how often a technician calibrates their devices (or how often they are sent for calibration). In a case where this would be relevant the officer should better know the answer to this question! You have no idea how many institutions do not calibrate their devices as often as they should and the measurements are considered irrelevant or false as a consequence! And even if they are calibrated, if the speed is just slightly above the limit, the question is what is the error limit of the device. That applies to a Breathalyzer as well.
I just saw one in Judge Oakley's court yesterday in which the state police had weighed an overweight tractor trailer and the case was dismissed because the law currently requires in-court testimony of the person who did the annual testing and calibration and the prosecution didn't even have evidence of a certificate or seal on the unit used by the officer. Imagine the public costs of sending such an expert to every trial on this charge in every court in the state for the $500 fine.
The defense attorney is just following a standard canned script, “how to defend you client on traffic charges for dummies” that why she was asking all those irrelevant questions.
Is she a PD? It's bad either way but I like the notion that a SovCit hired her because she, too, follows a canned script in hope that the magical incantations will work this time.
There's a petroglyph depicting seven suns and seven moons in Three Rivers, NM, but I can't find anything similar for Three Rivers, MI. The aliens obviously didn't read up on the new postal state abbreviations.
I think the prosecutor REALLY doesn't want to waste the court's time having a trial and is giving this idiot every possible opportunity to take the plea. She's probably afraid the District Attorney will get pissed that this went to trial, and she will be blamed for the time & cost.
DUI by itself for a first offense shouldn't require more than a year. A year may even be harsh. That's why - it doesn't require more than a year of incarceration. It recognizes the dangerous potential outcomes of drunk driving while still upholding one of the foundational principles of law - actual results matter. When you add in factors like repeat offender, DWI once they cross .08, high BAC once they cross .20, if they hit something or someone (property damage, injury, manslaughter, all with deadly weapon enhancers), and now, we can talk felony charges.
@@goonerbear8659 You are clearly a person who has never suffered the consequences of someone choosing - it isn't accidental - to drink and drive, and occasionally these people rip the hearts and lives out of families. Writing as a retired mortician, you perhaps have no idea of the depths of misery some people can be driven to by those who make a choice to drink, and who are often likely to do so on repeat occasions. Minimum of five years please, twenty in the event of a fatality. Remember, this is something that is completely avoidable with a simple and sensible decision not to drink and drive, and this is generally much better realised elsewhere in the world where the basic standards of education and social responsibility are much higher. Stupid is as stupid does, don't you agree ? Regards
Listening to these lawyers speak being unprepared, not knowing his first name, not knowing what the BAC is and struggling to make a coherent argument I might need to go back to uni and study law. I would love a job where I could be incompetent and still be employed because I would not last a week in my job being so lame.
You have deciphered superior Sovereign linguistic blabbering! The toddlers who instruct Sovereigns are paid in Gummy Bears made by sovereign wives on crack watching Barney as they toil .For electricity they connect to responsible neighbors wiring.
When a defense attorney doesn't do that, def can claim mistrial. Research the controversy over the Boston Bombing case, where the state hired the best defense firm in the state to defend them. Which was in fact pro bono. Eliminated any chance of appeal.
When you're more than 3 times the legal limit and you're driving at night seeing more than one moon isn't hard to believe but that dude in 1932 that saw 7 must've had a snoot full of good ole corn liquor. Maybe enough to wake up to 7 suns. 191 proof corn liquor will put you in lala land.

This new ada is definitely not Debbie! They need to get their shite together in that DAs office! This defendant is a POS that need to do jail time and im sure at most he will get probation!
I never saw such horrible attorneys!! Both are so uninformed,unprepared and seem to not know what they’re doing at all.umm, um,um..” that’s all they knew!! I think I could ask questions better than these two . They couldn’t even form direct questions and resorted to”well tell us where you were . Tell us what happened…” unbelievable! Even the cop was unprepared and admitted such ie “ I haven’t reviewed the report for today ,your honor.” Unbelievable! Is this some tiny town where the fire chief is the police chief and the janitor of the grade school? Awful. Both attorney’s should watch this hearing a hundred times to never behave like this again just bad! How embarrassing! Those lawyers need to take basic law classes ie “how to direct/cross exam a witness” !
11:50 - Holy crap! 60 in a 35, then 65 in a 25. And on top of all that, a 0.25 BAC! I'm actually kind of shocked the DA was willing to offer him such a plum plea deal!

Too bad we won't get to see the trial (he got a preview of what they COULD charge him with, so hopefully his attorney will get him to take that nice fluffy offer!
We have a defense attorney hamstrung by a terrible client demanding she ask stupid questions, and a prosecutor hamstrung by their office to give a sweetheart deal. It looks like bad attorney work but it may not be.
That lawyer asking the cop if he had training in DUI... What a genius lawyer... It's not like he was stopped because of high speed or that they smell the alcohol out of this guy, OR THAT THEY CHECKED HIS BLOOD... Wow, the lawyer is as smart as this SovCiv...
I'm fascinated with the law and this judge is great. I love his hair. Thank you for letting me watch this preliminary hearing without making silly comments as to what's going on. It was peaceful and very enjoyable. ✌️
All judges need to take up the approach of the judge who required a competency hearing for a defendant who said all of the "I still need to know the nature and cause" and "we still haven't addressed jurisdiction," and all the other stuff. She took him completely seriously and said she couldn't go any further with the case until he had a competency hearing. He asked why, saying that the judge could decide; she said she needed the expert opinion to make her decision. When he took that circular, she cut it off to say she had explained, he's still asking; that's why they need the competency hearing. It was brilliant.
Isn't he the guy who tells criminals he should send them to jail but doesn't? Yeah, great judge. Michigan's judicial system is almost as bad as Wisconsin 😂😂
This entire examination needs to be thrown out, simply because the "Judge" left his bench to become the Prosecutor. He literally made objections, asking discovery questions, even "coached" the actual Prosecutor in this matter. Again, another king on the bench.
Judge Middleton does not like it when Officers are not prepared, haven't reviewed their reports ahead of time, or otherwise don't testify well. I expect that goes back to his years as a prosecutor.
This guy's first-grade teacher tried teaching him to sound words out, but he wouldn't aqueeze to her jurisdiction.

@@goonerbear8659 You are clearly a person who has never suffered the consequences of someone choosing - it isn't accidental - to drink and drive, and occasionally these people rip the hearts and lives out of families. Writing as a retired mortician, you perhaps have no idea of the depths of misery some people can be driven to by those who make a choice to drink, and who are often likely to do so on repeat occasions. Minimum of five years please, twenty in the event of a fatality. Remember, this is something that is completely avoidable with a simple and sensible decision not to drink and drive, and this is generally much better realised elsewhere in the world where the basic standards of education and social responsibility are much higher. Stupid is as stupid does, don't you agree ? Regards
OMG! The defendant said to the police officer that this was his first DUI!
Well until the Justice System holds criminals accountable it's only going to get Alot worse.
People have said that since the beginning of time and it's still hasn't happened lol
@@joshuawidener8407Yeah it's not looking good for law abiding citizens.
@@charlesdobbs4570 I obey the law. I'm good
@@joshuawidener8407 Awesome. I'm not perfect but I do try.
Bodycams should be mandatory at this point.
Yeah, sounds like some video footage would really aid the prosecution.
"Mandatory"? In some states they remain fairly rare.
@@UpnorthHerethat should change though don’t ya think?
Listening to these lawyers speak being unprepared, not knowing his first name, not knowing what the BAC is and struggling to make a coherent argument I might need to go back to uni and study law. I would love a job where I could be incompetent and still be employed because I would not last a week in my job being so lame.

You have deciphered superior Sovereign linguistic blabbering! The toddlers who instruct Sovereigns are paid in Gummy Bears made by sovereign wives on crack watching Barney as they toil .For electricity they connect to responsible neighbors wiring.
i strongly dislike defense attorneys like her
When a defense attorney doesn't do that, def can claim mistrial. Research the controversy over the Boston Bombing case, where the state hired the best defense firm in the state to defend them. Which was in fact pro bono. Eliminated any chance of appeal.
What does he care about points on a license he doesn't need to have? He is a living man and he does not "aqueeze!"
When you're more than 3 times the legal limit and you're driving at night seeing more than one moon isn't hard to believe but that dude in 1932 that saw 7 must've had a snoot full of good ole corn liquor. Maybe enough to wake up to 7 suns. 191 proof corn liquor will put you in lala land.
This idiot would have his car impounded for 30 days and up to $3000 fine for such a high BAC DUI and eluding police in Australia. No wimpy sentences here. 💪
Clearly Melissa out of her comfort zone and Dave Marvin I'm sure will remind her plea deals expire after prelims
He can’t read but wants to argue his charges
This new ada is definitely not Debbie! They need to get their shite together in that DAs office! This defendant is a POS that need to do jail time and im sure at most he will get probation!
The prosecutor offered a plea deal before she even knew the BAC?!!!!
Defense lawyer isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but the caliber of lawyer the SovCit deserves.
Some people are just
their own worst enemy.
He will continue to be I’m sure
Wait til the Sovereign spelling Bee!! All 3 letter words, allowed 2 wrong letters, also Slobbering is allowed ..
This defense attorney is so unprepared..she's trying to prosecute the officer ...Thankfully Judge Middleton can see through the bs
The defense attorney makes a tremendous case for the prosecution.
‘He didn’t stumble out of the car because he was being assisted out of the car’ ‘so he didn’t stumble, correct?’
The prosecutor's questioning was weak sauce. I think she needs a refresher course in how to question a defendant in a preliminary hearing.
I never saw such horrible attorneys!! Both are so uninformed,unprepared and seem to not know what they’re doing at all.umm, um,um..” that’s all they knew!! I think I could ask questions better than these two . They couldn’t even form direct questions and resorted to”well tell us where you were . Tell us what happened…” unbelievable! Even the cop was unprepared and admitted such ie “ I haven’t reviewed the report for today ,your honor.” Unbelievable! Is this some tiny town where the fire chief is the police chief and the janitor of the grade school? Awful. Both attorney’s should watch this hearing a hundred times to never behave like this again just bad! How embarrassing! Those lawyers need to take basic law classes ie “how to direct/cross exam a witness” !
Who is feeding people this 'sovcit' nonsense and why are they believing it?
11:50 - Holy crap! 60 in a 35, then 65 in a 25. And on top of all that, a 0.25 BAC! I'm actually kind of shocked the DA was willing to offer him such a plum plea deal!
Aqueeeeze... That's a powerful legal argument
I assume he means "acquiesce", but just didn't pay attention to English class in high school.....
The ziploc briefcase was a gift from his parents for graduating the Darrel Brooks School of Law
I really enjoy watching your videos! Your content and explanations which helps me a bunch, really love the Wolf. Thank you for the time you take with these videos.
Judge Middleton doesn’t usually have a bailiff, but today he does. I wonder why?
Because Savage Sovereign Shi*izens go berserk if you use words containing more than 3 letters! Pure animals who attack anything moving when offended , especially after crack supply's are depleted.
He dropped the SovCit, that was smart. Both the production and defense were sloppy. I think they are missing Debbie Davis in that courtroom! As usual Judge Middleton makes it all make sense.
Too bad we won't get to see the trial (he got a preview of what they COULD charge him with, so hopefully his attorney will get him to take that nice fluffy offer!
We have a defense attorney hamstrung by a terrible client demanding she ask stupid questions, and a prosecutor hamstrung by their office to give a sweetheart deal. It looks like bad attorney work but it may not be.
He's not a proper sovcit! He has a lawyer so has completely sold out!😂
That lawyer asking the cop if he had training in DUI... What a genius lawyer... It's not like he was stopped because of high speed or that they smell the alcohol out of this guy, OR THAT THEY CHECKED HIS BLOOD... Wow, the lawyer is as smart as this SovCiv...
Assistant prosecuting dud.
Officer Gandalf says “You shall not pass!” your field sobriety test.
I'm fascinated with the law and this judge is great. I love his hair. Thank you for letting me watch this preliminary hearing without making silly comments as to what's going on. It was peaceful and very enjoyable. ✌️
The cop slipped and called judge Middleton "ma'am" I'll bet you he'll be telling that story for years!
Love it that this Judge knows the town & most of the people .😀
All Howl To The Wolf!
AaaaaaaRoooooo 🐺🐺🐺🐺
All judges need to take up the approach of the judge who required a competency hearing for a defendant who said all of the "I still need to know the nature and cause" and "we still haven't addressed jurisdiction," and all the other stuff. She took him completely seriously and said she couldn't go any further with the case until he had a competency hearing. He asked why, saying that the judge could decide; she said she needed the expert opinion to make her decision. When he took that circular, she cut it off to say she had explained, he's still asking; that's why they need the competency hearing. It was brilliant.
Another example of the axiom: "The defendant who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for a client."
I love judge Middleton. He’s got a big heart but no time for stupidity
Isn't he the guy who tells criminals he should send them to jail but doesn't? Yeah, great judge. Michigan's judicial system is almost as bad as Wisconsin 😂😂
This entire examination needs to be thrown out, simply because the "Judge" left his bench to become the Prosecutor. He literally made objections, asking discovery questions, even "coached" the actual Prosecutor in this matter. Again, another king on the bench.
17 minutes in and the prosecutor seems borderline incompetent.
Is she insinuating that .24 really isn't intoxicated. Wow 3 X legal and she doesn';t think he was drunk.
If you pull a policeman off the street into court, there should be no plea dealing charges away.
When both the DA and the public defenders office decide to field their farm teams ...
"This life's hard, but it's harder if you're stupid."

Your content is spectacular. The Wolf is very wise.
I love how evenhanded Judge Middleton is. A great example of the bench.
Judge Middleton does not like it when Officers are not prepared, haven't reviewed their reports ahead of time, or otherwise don't testify well. I expect that goes back to his years as a prosecutor.
"Seven moons and seven suns". Okay?
The defense attorney fails to impress. Perhaps she should get a refund from her online university.
I love this judge. He seems chill
This defense attorney is like it's her first week.
"Such as I do not aquest to aqueeze jurisdiction..."
Law school is hard.
SovCit immediately suggests Soviet Union Citizen to many of us who don't live in your country. Not one of your best choices.
When they don’t aqueeze to jurisdiction, you know hilarity will follow
I’m so glad that judge didn’t allow him to aqueeze
7 moons and 7 suns in alignment - a very unbelievable anomaly, I'd say... What makes people fall for this stuff? 😂
Look at the guy, I guarantee his IQ maxes out at 3, which coincidentally is the number of years he went to school before dropping out.
I don’t know what this prosecutor is thinking, but she really needs to start listening to the judge
It’s disturbing that .251 is a misdemeanor
Darrell Brooks sociopaths abound
Wow, the info packet, including the anomaly of witnessing 7 moons and 7 suns, tells me all I need to know about this guy, lol.
I think that the cop knows when a car is traveling almost twice the speed limit.
he can afford a chauffeur, but he has a public defender
"This has never worked for anyone, but even though I have a sea level IQ, I'm gonna be the one to pull it off!"
The officer made it sound like the worst part of the car chase was the driver taking up "TWO parking spots" when he finally stopped.
Prosecutor sounded inexperienced... like this was her first case.
This prosecutor is not good, I can’t believe they offered him such a light offense
A new word. Great to see how the language morphs before our very ears.
