This is sad. As a recovering addict, I can attest that jail will do her some good. It did for me. I just hit 3 years clean last week.
Many congratulations for your success. As someone with several family members who are alcoholics I have seen how hard it is conquer an addiction. My nephew has struggled since he was a teen but after multiple stints in rehab and years in therapy he has been sober for several years and is now a certified counselor.
To everyone who struggles all I can say is don't give up and ask for/take all the help that's available.
that great chris !! continued success!
Congrats!!!!!! I’m am an alcoholic in recovery, and a life of sobriety is amazing!
I hope you stay on that path, and I think you're incredibly strong for sticking to it. I know I'm just a random person on the internet, a literal nobody to you, but I hope if you ever find your strength wavering, you think of any family you have, your loved ones, and maybe even me, thanking you, congratulating you, and wishing you the best in life, and that it helps you stay on the path. If for no one else, but yourself.
Awesome! Great job, in 2 weeks it will be 22 years for me ! I dont miss it at all
She should just tell him she's an alcoholic and has a hard time with sobriety. The truth always works best in her situation.
She’s not sorry for what she did, she’s sorry she got caught.
Never heard that one before.
I completely disagree. She doesn't care that she got caught. She's only upset that she's not getting away with it.
@@darthplageous5412 same thing lol
💯
That's not necessarily true. I screwed up time and time again and someone could have said the same thing about me. I truly was sorry for the things I had done but I was weak because I didn't have a good foundation of anything else. I made a lot of the same mistakes over and over and did some very bad things but in the moment I just did them, and even when I didn't get caught I truly regretted it. Looking at her I kinda agree with you, but maybe she's just really struggling and weak. Either way there's consequences for her actions and she needs to face them, but saying for sure her level of regret isn't a surety.
Wow.. "who would've taken care of your kids if you died in the accident?"
judge is spitting some hard truths in this one
I don't believe her that she has no one to help. There is a grandparent, a father or friend somewhere who can watch them for 3 days. Somebody invited her and her child/children to a party! Someone was watching her kids when she was out drinking and driving. And she should have been preparing for that possibility already.
Simpson tried to help his intern who crashed her car while drinking so why not show mercy? Oh because he's not having sex with this lady. BTW He was suspended for 9 months and fined almost $8,000 for interfering with the police investigation on his intern.
Someone can watch her kids when she's partying but not when she's in jail, lol.
The kids are growing up with an alcoholic..... they are probably looking after themselves and each other as best they can a lot of the time
The crocodile tears will not work on a seasoned soul like this judge. He’s totally right!
Thank you! I saw the thumbnail and was like “Here we go” 😢😢😂😂
Love this judge, he's absolutely doing the right thing.
He could of gave her one more chance, given she has a new job and kids to watch over.
Her fake crying and sniffling was absolutely ridiculous.
Oh trust and believe, she's working on getting her Oscar lol. She's a danger to everyone on the road. Take her to jail, point blank period.
Crazy how easy it is to go from fully crying to “say again judge I didn’t hear you” in a completely normal voice
I was about to say this lmaoo somehow all the teary bs disappears when she's asking questions
I totally missed that! Wow! Good catch!
Crocodile tears from the get go.
This is a pretty common talent of a lot of women (some, NOT all, NOT all, but some)!! Those who have learned how to get their way through tears or smiles and have done so for years, are the most talented at it. My ex wife damn near deserved academy awards for her acting skills, especially her “on/off valve” on the tears. She was pulled over for speeding once when we first started dating, I was in the passenger seat (almost the last time I was ever in the passenger seat with her)… as the officer is approaching the car, she calmly turns to me and says “time for crying now”… to be shock the tears start coming down her cheeks. In the 20 seconds it took for the officer to arrive at the door, she was full blown tears and hysteria. It was quite truly and incredible thing to watch, the cop absolutely let her off. A minute after driving away, she’s laughing and bragging telling me how she’s “done this a 100 times”. That’s the first RED FLAG 🚩 I missed, there were many more to come that I kept on ignoring! 🤷♂️
I believe that sometime between grade 6 and grade 9, girls are taken to some secret crying class where guys aren’t allowed to attend. There they are taught how to turn them on and off at will and the benefits of doing so! 😂 My ex is definitely an honored alumni of those classes and could be a top professor by now. 😂🤣
Watch those 🚩🚩guys, don’t ignore them, please don’t ignore them. 👍🏼☮️
Towards the end she far away from the camera and hearing.making sure she get those tears
Judge Simpson was not buying her tears and stories and endless excuses. His burn at the end was priceless.
I HATE when people cry it doesn’t make people feel sorry for her. She needs to act like an adult and with some dignity in a court session. She’s also a liar.
Yeah Wow “sick burn” how cool of him to just kick her while she’s down.
@@jsmith-u5i I’ve watched enough of this judge to see how corrupt he is. You can tell by his interactions that he looks down his nose at every person who goes before him.
I dont think the Old Squishy Gardener would
Realize on top of providing entertainment they’re also providing evidence of these judge’s misdeeds and immorality lmao
This is the first video I've watched with this judge. It must be nice being so perfect. What a complete a-hole. But karma is a patient bitch.
@@jill4806 yup. He’s incredibly professional
As an alcoholic in recovery, I can tell you this..
1. This lady is 100% an alcoholic.
2. She has yet to acknowledge that she is an alcoholic, or accept that fact.
3. If she finally gets sober (there is a big difference between getting actually getting sober, and just not drinking for a long period) then she will look back on this and realize the judge made the right decision here today, and that her life is currently unmanageable. I wish her the best.
Agreed. I hope this is her rock bottom and she will become a friend of Bill W.
As an alkie you should know that none of us can diagnose another. You’ve got a lot to learn patrick.
"her life is currently unmanageable". I recognize that line. For her sake I hope she gets some real help and isn't just sent to AA, which has a worse success rate than the rate of no treatment at all, as determined by George Valiant, in a study contracted by AA itself. Until they buried it. Like everyone the "program" has failed. AA has a worst success rate than nothing because it's not a treatment program, it's an ego battering cult.
There are better interventions for alcoholics involving both medications and cognitive and behavioral therapy. There is no reason to subject people to playing Russian roulette with AA.
@@joekirkus1714 That would be bad for her. AA was Bill Wilson's grift. A little program of "ego deflation in depth" while high on hallucinogens. Not only does the so-called "program" of AA not conform to any successful treatment program, but it doesn't even conform to any religion. What Bill Wilson created was a self-serving, self perpetuating heretical cult that feeds on the desperation of alcoholics.
@@MykeruMedia whatever floats your boat.
I love how they can turn the tears on and off. She came right out of crying and address the court.
The crying, lying and manipulation must be so tiring for these judges. People have zero personal accountability.
Unless it’s a tenant against ANY landlord doesn’t matter how competent or incompetent they are. Then you can do literally ANYTHING YOU WANT.
Blaming her kid for her drinking problems, really classy lady
Her kid could NOT have gotten that Alcohol drink or he could take care of himself because he is a adult not a child.
She’s an alcoholic. An alcoholic blames everyone.
That's a stretch- saying your kid gave you a drink is not the same thing as blaming your kid for your drinking problem in general- but hey, you scored some points- and that was your real objective- right?
@@stoneysdead689 The kid can't get alcohol he is under age.
@@63076topher They don't card ppl at parties' genius- she wasn't saying the kid bought her a drink somewhere- she was saying he got her a drink at a party or some kind of social function like a party and it ended up having alcohol in it. Which is entirely different than saying the kid is responsible for her drinking problem. I don't believe her that she didn't know it had alcohol in it but still- she never blamed her kids for her drinking.
All she had to do was tell the judge that she thought she was able to cheat the court system and have a drink or two before testing and nothing would happen. But instead she blames her son
Or just tell him, I am an alcoholic and I have been struggling with not drinking. I slipped up and gave into the alcohol. After a couple drinks, I realized the mistake I made and I am sorry. If she had said just that, Judge Simpson would have not sentenced her to jail.
I think she has been cheating but just has not been caught. Maybe got a little cocky and had a couple drinks. She got caught!
😁 Sometimes people amaze me.
Hopefully this is her bottom and she will take her recovery seriously.
Do we know how old her son was, was he at least 21? There may be another charges.
Her son would have known she wasn’t supposed to be drinking.
I love how she cries that she doesn’t have an excuse immediately after offering up a terrible excuse
She's desperately trying to squeeze some water out of her dry eyes🤣🤣
She acts like she's going to Alcatraz for thirty years
She could’ve just been straight up and said “I slipped up and made a dumb choice”.Relapse is common for people trying to stay sober.Trying to blame her kid was ridiculous.
I pray that Judge Simpson busts her chops and get her off of the road. Again another slap on the wrist.
Getting sober is like riding a horse. Most people *will* fall off at some point. The people who succeed are the people that fall off and get back up in that saddle.
She would have faired better had she just owned it. She may have been given the option of rehab.
I have been driving for over 45 years. Never had an accident, a ticket, pulled over, no interaction with the police or the courts. 2 months ago, I was driving home from work, someone cut me off after riding my tail for 3 miles, zipped around me then cut me off. I took it personal and decided I was going to treat him to the same scare. Bad choice. I got in front of him and cut him off only to realize I was not far enough ahead of him and side-swipped him. We pulled over, call ed the police, I received a wreck-less driving ticket. All it takes is a moment to not be in control. All it takes is not paying attention and trying to exact revenge, and it all went bad. I think my lucky stars that no one was hurt, I told the man I was totally irrational and he didn't deserve that. I also told him... who am I to interrupt your day, we do not know each other, and I should have just let it go, you may have had an emergency. The guy showed up for my court appearance and told the judge He was the cause of my lapse in judgement, and the judge talked to us both in private and reduced my ticket to a minor traffic offense. We worked out the damages and the Judge called us both a week later to see how we were doing. A good judge, and a good lesson for both of us. The gentleman (Erik) and I have become friends. (Yes, I paid a fine and the damages, the insurance was also kind enough to understand the situation thanks to the judge speaking with them, and there is an increase on my insurance for 1 year.)
amazing what happens when ya act like a responsible adult and handle mistakes responsibly huh? ya dont end up on OldSquishy's channel (except for your comment)..lol. way to go!
I stayed in petty trouble in my younger years . I must say that I've been treated fairly by all but one judge and that judge was a pompous municipal judge that thought he was a supreme court justice.....
I made it through all my problems with addiction, and all that came with it, without a felony conviction or any serious jail time.. but I always done my part.. I never screwed my probation up, I never missed court and I always done exactly as I was told.....
When you take probation, or enter into an agreement with the court, it's only a trap if you don't have the intention to comply . If you think your gonna play around and skate, your wrong. And then its gonna be worse.. you'd be better off taking the time and serving your sentence than to agree to the terms and the crap all over them mm
It isn't a "wreck-less" ticket like because you didn't cause a wreck, it is "reckless" because you had no regard for anyone's safety and you were being reckless as fuck dude. Did you think it was because you didn't cause a wreck?
Although the circumstances surrounding it are not great, that's an awesome story. It's especially amazing you and the other driver became friends. You are correct, though. All it takes is one, single, instance to change your and someone else's life forever.
Adults handling adult business. I appreciate and honor when two people can own their faults, learn from it and move on to do better. Thanks for sharing!
The judge was more than fair. She needed a lesson. I feel sorry for the kids. Thanks again Mr. Squishy for another great one!
The law has no place to throw people into prison for simply consuming substances in their own body.
Don't feel sorry for the kids. I grew up with a drunk for a mother.. it'll be a holiday not having her at home. Trust me.
@@KeithRingo you should look into how addiction actually happens, it is typically a symptom of mental disorder, not a cause
Judge Simpson could have at least explained to her the depraved things a girl like her will be forced to endure behind bars. They get into some crazy shit on the peninsula, especially when the defendant lies.
@@rstidman so you're saying she shouldn't have been sent to jail for violating her bond?
I just cannot stop watching this judge. He intelligent, fair, and he knows when he has to be brutal and he is not afraid to do either. I love you as a brother HONORABLE J. Cedric Simpson. You are a MAN of resolve. Above reproach.
Her facebook is public. She still posts pictures of herself at bars drinking beer and wine. So much for being devoted to that sobriety. I hope the court sees it.
I’m actually really appreciative that this judge did exactly what he should have. He’s making sure that he doesn’t see her AFTER she’s killed someone. He wants to do whatever he can to prevent it. He made so many good points. Good man, good judge.
He’s the best
Shes full of crap!
Simpson tried to help his intern who crashed her car while drinking so why not show mercy? Oh because he's not having sex with this lady. BTW He was suspended for 9 months and fined almost $8,000 for interfering with the police investigation on his intern.
As a recovering alcoholic I feel for her. The feeling of not wanting to drink but having a craving so strong that you just can't stop it. I really hope she gets help. I am happy to report that I am over 6 months sober 🥳
Gz🥳 37 years sober and we are equally as close to the next drink. Keep it up.
I never liked the whole idea of calling yourself an “alcoholic“ (or a “drug addict”)…, it’s the wrong self image and not truly who you are. Especially if you stopped…
@amark350 Once an addict, always an addict 🤷🏼♀️
@@mistyjomay6272 I don’t believe that… if you’re religious, you can die to your old self and become new.
Then you are “not” an addict… even if you used to be one in your past. Granted, you are probably correct in 98 percent of the cases, but there are that 2 percent that actually overcome it completely.
Dont care
Years ago I worked as an EMT….The VAST majority of car wrecks we ran on were DUI related. I have absolutely no sympathy for drunk drivers, most especially now with apps like Uber and Lyft making getting a ride more than easy…And if it’s “Oh I can’t afford a ride.” Tough shit, I’ve seen way too many kids killed by drunks on the road. She’s only sorry she got caught.
I love how all the other citizens that had to show up for court are just casually watching this all unfold 😂
Aren’t we kind of doing the same thing, from the comfort of our couch or armchair? Couch watching is way more comfortable than the court benches. 😂😂
Straight into her ear too 😅
I like how everyone piled in after the judge called her out like they wanted to see what was happening
I love how she “cry’s” and then quickly stops when she’s asked a question or couldn’t understand what someone was saying. She never once took responsibility for any of her actions nor did she show that she wanted help and to change.
Cry’s... lmao
“cries” is the word you are looking for.
WE NEED MORE JUDGES LIKE HIM !
Harsh, but fair. Even gave her a break of 3 days instead of 5. It is easy to think he was being tough on her, but some people need that level of straightforwardness and no beating around the bush.
Bullshit. He didn’t but her crap this time, but he is often really unprofessional and unfair behind the bench.
No we don’t
Ya NO we don't. Treating this poor sick alcoholic like a evil criminal. They give people less time for punching their wife in the face
@@alexawermuth1219 There are plenty of people who are alcoholics that DON'T break the law. Trying to defend him simply for being an alcoholic is just trying to give an excuse for poor behavior. There is no excuse for breaking the law. Even if you disagree with the law or think the law is unjust, there are ways to combat that without breaking it. However in most cases, I don't think the majority of people are going to be defending the criminal activity.
"I can't get anyone to take care of my kids."
"So then who would have been taking care of your kids had you killed yourself in the accident?"
I like how Judge Simpson gives people some disturbing images/themes to think about when he gives them a few days "off" from normal life. Great way to drive home the changes they want to make when they will have plenty of time to think for a few days.
I will be sober from alcohol for 16 months on the 14th. I will be 40 in April. It’s still not comfortable to say “hi, my name is jacqueline and I am an alcoholic” and it is still rough in the hard days to choose not to run from whatever is going on. I also know how difficult my life became when I was an alcoholic. I had a serious problem from 21 to 34 when I got a DUI. No one was hurt and I am thankful for that. It was very expensive financially, mentally and emotionally. I still never quit. I fact, I would stop for liquor before my mandated AA meetings so I didn’t have to have Uber take me after wards. 7-14-2021 was the day I started to take accountability and take my life back!! She needs treatment. She needs jail time. She will be thankful in a few years IF she does the right thing for herself NOW!!! I see old parts of me in her 😞🙏🙏
Gz🥳, keep up the good work. It gets easier
Congratulations on your sobriety!
Congrats on your sobriety. May life be all you want it to be.
The Judge really made a great statement when he said "Who would be taking care of your kids had you of died in that accident?". That should make a lot of us think about not drinking and driving.
She is so full of it! I was an alcoholic for 20 yrs and had 2 DUIs. If you drink a single 'slushie' that raises your BAC to 0.8....... it wasn't an accident. It was half liquor!!!
That’s what I was thinking. I don’t care how “slushed” it is liquor is liquor and you taste that. Even then after she felt a smidge altered she should’ve known and let someone know IF it was an accident. “I’m just so used to just drinking things” I bet lady
I’ve had plenty of booze slushies in my day and there is no mistaking whether or not there’s liquor. Even if you take her word that her son gave her the drink without knowing/telling her there was alcohol, she should have had every reason in the world to ASK
I can't take a woman seriously when she starts crying immediately, all it says to me is that she's fine with attempting to manipulate people with the whole "I'm a poor sad little girl and I need someone to save me"
That’s their favorite strategy isn’t it?
Cry, make yourself seem like the weak little victim of someone else’s malevolence or incompetence.
And their to dumb to know it makes them look bad cuz everyone knows its fake crying
@@cargopilotguy305 Right up until they're strong and independent women again, of course lmfao
The waterworks have worked for women since the dawn of time, but seldom on Judges...
That's what addicts do. Their first line off offense. I know because I'm a pill addict 3 years clean. Addicts learn how to manipulate very well. Women use those tears first line of offense. Then pleading is next when those fake tears does not work. Then anger is next and t when that doesn't work. That's when the blame game comes in. She needs full rehab place. Not just some drug a doctor gives. She needs therapy. Not just some AA meeting.
Judge Simpson nailed this right on the head! He sees through her BS and calls her out on it.
"Who would have been taking care of your kids if you had killed yourself in the accident?" Ouch. Fair but brutal. I hope she's able to use this moment to seriously start her recovery process. Addiction is rough
Also, she's got a kid making her drinks and running a BBQ. Pretty sure that one can take care of the kids during her 3 day weekend at the striped bed and breakfast. Lol
IDK who James Fortin is but his facial expressions while she is talking are PRICELESS!
I’m sorry but when the attorney said “as you can tell she’s really taking it seriously” I busted out laughing 😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂
I love Judge Simpson even more now! Drunk driving etc...is an absolute plague on our society at this point. Maybe, just maybe now she'll stop bs'ing herself and everyone else and get the help she so obviously needs. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was hard one to watch. I think I’m easily swayed by the tears but I think Judge Simpson did the right thing. When he said “who would’ve watched your kids if you died in the accident” really got me. Hopefully it will help her find the motivation she needs to make a change.
He sees tears all day
Crocodile tears.
Tears my ass… all women know how to use tears as a defense……you must be a beta to buy this crap she’s trying to sell.
I think the judge just wanted her to say, "I had a couple drinks because I wanted to have a couple of drinks," A little honesty goes a long way sometimes
You understand people use crying to get out of trouble, right?
That was hard to watch, but she clearly needs to hit rock bottom before she can start taking her recovery seriously.
I’ve been going on a binge of Judge Simpson’s hearings. He is up front and direct about the obviously violating situations, but trying to do his best in his power to help people get better not just set them free with no parameters. I’ve even seen people thank him for changing their lives.
It’s very fascinating and interesting these court hearings.
I swear when she said "i've never been in trouble before, I don't do these things" the one attorney coughed and said "bull***" lmao too funny!
I've watched this judge take 10 minutes to help a landlord-tenant defendant calm down and connect with resources to prevent an eviction, pretty interesting to see his tough side. If this woman takes the hint and starts working on sobriety, she'll look back on this as a most important day for her.
She's trying so hard to bring tears to her eyes, it's pitiful. Alligator tears don't work on Judge Simpson.
Fakest crying I've seen in a very long time.
She is probably pulling hair, out of her head, so her eyes begin to water. Hence, crying.
I didn't see a single tear
"I suspected there was something in it" is still a cop-out and a tap dance. I don't believe she didn't know she was drinking alcohol. If you know it's an issue, then you ask and make sure when someone offers you a drink you didn't get yourself. And I assume her family knows of her struggles if so, shame on her son for giving the drink to her. Which I'm not sure I believe, either. Judge Simpson is truly amazing. We need more people like him in general in this world.
I love how the attorney pretend to cough and said,Bullshit after she said she's never been in trouble before ect.😂😂
Girl 3 days take that and learn your lesson it’s 3 days not a whole year. Tell your job you have a family emergency take your little time and get your life together she needs to learn. Judge hit her right. Who would’ve been taken care of your kids it’s not even a whole week. Be strong and do better 💪🏾
Thank you.
I found this interesting.
Her: I can't go to jail because I just started a new job and I'll lose that job.
Judge: Jail, 6pm today.
Her: I can't go to jail because I have no one to watch my kids.
The normal reaction, if all that was actually true, would be to mention the welfare of the children first and the job second.
YES! that's exactly what I thought.
Also, first she said she'd started a job "recently", than it turned into "monday".
Is there really a new job at all?
As regards her children...is one of them of an age to be making and handing out alcoholic drinks? But isn't of an age to be able to mind theirself for 3 days?
I'm not at all a fan of having kids on their own but by the time I was in 10th grade I absolutely could look after myself for 3 days. And I could look after younger kids too - I'd been babysitting kids of all ages for years by that time. And I wasn't nearly old enough to be making drinks with alcohol.
Also, is there a father? There isn't one who wants custody, because if he did, he'd have it now for certain.
So either the father is dead, which means the children are in the sole care of an alcoholic mother - which must be terrifying for them. Or they have a deadbeat father and are in the sole care of an alcoholic mother - which must be terrifying for them.
With a heavy drinking mother the poor kids probably do a lot of looking after themselves already.
@@greenman6141 thats exactly what i was thinking. If this kid gave out a slushy with alcohol in it then surely he is old enough to be on his own and look after the other kids? Or the people at the barbq are the most irresponsible people ever. Or... The entire story was a lie.
@@greenman6141 Excellent thought about the father. I somehow totally left that out of my thinking.
@@3DGFan9000 Oh, clearly the whole slushy story was nonsense. How can we know this...because when shameless and accustomed liars lie, they
a. always shift blame to someone else
and
b. make their victim someone vulnerable
If anyone - a police officer, lawyer, judge - had tried to dig further into this story it would have meant questioning a child, which all ethical people want to avoid doing.
Whereas the child's own MOTHER had zero problem with that.
And the police officer/lawyer/judge would understand that the poor child would be leaned on the mother, and if he or she failed to lie for the mother, he or she would be horribly punished afterwards.
So, this horrid woman was counting on the strangers having more concern for her child than she does.
Which they did.
Truly awful.
The kids are better off WITHOUT her lying, excuse making, alcoholic, ass. A job? There isn't ANY job that will put up with, or last, with alcoholism involved. A job means nothing when there's an addict involved.
I agree with this judge. She was putting others lives in danger by drinking and driving. She could have crashed into a family, a daddy, a mom or a child . She has to learn . She can’t do this . It’s unacceptable. Plus she Lied To The Judge. Blamed her son. Lady you never lie to the judge.
After living with an alcoholic for 17 years, I feel like, unfortunately, this is exactly the type of punishment that she needs.
She's ticked every box in the crocodile tear textbook:
-Excessive sniffling
-Covering mouth
-Forced shaky voice
-Squeezing eyes shut
-Wiping invisible tears
-Crying immediately ceasing to ask a question and restarting afterwards
Also her basically shoving the phone down her ear canal every time Judge speaks took me out 😂
I have no sympathy for this woman. I was at a stop light with my 8 year old son in the back seat. A drunk driver hit us!!! Then tried to blame me when he rear ended me. I could have lost my son. He never apologized but said I stopped at a green light but there were witnesses.
She tried every excuse and evasion. New job, no child care. Nothing is her fault.
This is a woman who has used tears to avoid consequences her whole life and when she finally finds someone she can't manipulate that way, the tears actually come for real. She can't handle the fact that she will have to go to jail and her life as she knew it is over. She will have to face her alcoholism and deal with it every single day now. I wanted to have compassion for her, but I can't. She needs to see what her actions have done and how her life has to change.
Couldn't have said it better myself. She needs these hard consequences now before something worse happens. I wish her luck.
Sending her to jail so she will have no choice but confront her addiction is the most compassionate thing the judge could do in this situation. Going to jail isn't the end of the world and she can come out of this a better person if she wants to.
I sincerely hope you one day understand the ignorant arrogance of your thought process concerning addiction- but trust me, I'm not holding my breath.
I have no compassion for her. I’ll have compassion for her the day she actually accepts the fact that she is an alcoholic, and needs help and seeks it out.
19:21 -- "So, who would've been taking care of your kids had you killed yourself in the accident?"
Harsh, but it had to be said.
personally…I felt if there was a true moment of realization that was it…
She is lucky it was only three days in jail I was expecting a lot longer to be honest. I would have loved to seen the time when she was arrested, probably had the typical shitty attitude towards the cops. I hope that this is the start of a new life for her alcoholism is a deadly disease and everybody suffers because of it, your immediate family have to deal with the bs and in certain circumstances strangers who get wiped out by them.
Facts
Best moment in CZcams court history!!
She keeps saying "I'm not making excuses" while she continues to make excuses. Then at the end when she gets a simple three day jail sentence, she tries to use her own children as an excuse as to why she should avoid punishment!
Shameful!
It's near certain the household is in shambles with an alcoholic head of household. Those kids are likely better off with other family or CPS anyway. If I am that judge, I get CPS involved to see if the kids are in any danger
Aaahhhh those courtroom crocodile tears!!🐊😢😥🤣🤣🤣
I didn't see a single tear I did hear alot of BS tho 😂
Facing addiction and admitting that you have a problem is indeed hard and even scary. None the less, actions have consequences regardless of what stage you are at and what difficulty it causes you later, there are still consequences. Being an adult and standing tall, even if you are terrified, crying and confused inside, standing and accepting responsibility is key. This poor lady is so fortunate to have not killed anybody, even herself or her kids, and to have Judge Simpson on her side and honestly trying to help her and prevent much worse from happening. The best for her is probably some time in jail. Sober up, get the help she needs, learn to truly admit that she has a problem and is a big part of it. Evey time you put that drink to your lips, it is your own choice, my choice. I truly hope she sees the light and gets past this, it's much brighter on the other side...
I agree with you...tough times. ''Poor lady...'' really? Sorry, no sympathy from me.
Nothing difficult about saying it, the difficulty is doing something about it
In a better world the judge could have ordered her to immediate, long term inpatient treatment for her addiction. Unfortunately in Michigan (where Judge Jackson is based) that just isn't the case. There is a severe shortage of inpatient treatment beds and the funding to pay for them. I don't know that I would have sentenced her to jail on the first slip up and if I did I would have given a weekender where she served her time but not in such a way that she couldn't work and given her time to arrange for her children to be cared for in her absence but I might have ordered her to the police station twice a day, 12 hours apart, seven days a week for a PBT like they do out in Washington State (the state charges the defendant $2 per test). If she screws that one up, I would look more closely at bail revocation, sending the children into foster care or to a relative and her going to jail pending trial or long-term, lockdown inpatient addiction treatment if she can pay for it and it can be arranged.
@@mharris5047 Three days in jail won't kill her, but will instead show her exactly what her future will hold if she stays on this path and keeps making "mistakes" like taking "slushies" from her son. Also, going into this probation violation hearing she knew very well that she could be remanded to jail. She should have had child care already in place and not used her kids as an excuse again and a "job she just started" not to take responsibility for her actions.
I'm so sick of people using their kids as an excuse not to go to jail but they don't use their kids as an excuse to not do what can get them sent to jail in the first place.
Typical entitled princess who thinks crying and acting sorry will absolve her of punishment. Probably worked on her father and boyfriends a bunch of times. Congratulations to the Judge for seeing through it. I would have bet he wouldn't put her in jail.
"This sobriety" is a red flag for me. If someone who is serious about getting better, they wouldn't distance their sobriety like it's an object. As someone who has been in recovery for 6 years. I am so proud of MY sobriety. That's all I have to say.
They always seem to be starting a job when jail comes up 🙄
I've been sober for 22 years after sitting in jail for 11 months. If you want to quit it's the perfect place to stop. She's not ready , YET. Judge Simpson is outstanding.
Yep I agree!
The judge clearly has experience with someone who knows how to try to manipulate things by saying exactly what you want to hear. Without actually meaning any of it
Addicts do this all they time. He's well acquainted.
Someone?
Probably 70% of people in his court.
I think that she thought her crocodile tears would sway the Judge. Glad he’s not a softy. Throw her in jail. If she can’t go 10 days without drinking she deserves no mercy. She is a habitual liar!
Trying to use your kids as an excuse! Then trying to avoid jail by using your kid! So low!
That was deep. Great job, judge. He’s actually giving her exactly what she needs to straighten up. Good job.
She is worried that she will go to jail and not be able to get a drink.
I’ve actually seen this one and I didn’t/still don’t buy her excuses for one second.
@@Dannie281 She wasn’t concerned about her children when she chose to keep drinking.
oh I completely believe her son brought her the drink, probably several of them, but she damn well knew what was in it. after the first one though she just didnt think about any consequences. alcohol tends to do that to your decision making skills.
In a few minutes you can tell that you just had ingested alcohol... Even if you don't taste it - the effects start to show up
I love Judge Simpson he takes no rubbish but he is incredibly fair and try’s to help people. He is firm but fair and will not succumb to a load of tripe and flannel being given him. He is a great judge, I just love him. You go Judge Simpson 💕👏👏
James Fortin's reaction @10:20 😄 Priceless.
I’m crying 😂
I had a zoom arraignment 2 years ago and I was the only one not in jail and it was very interesting
😮
1st step of recovery is to accept that you are in denial and that your life has become unmanageable. I feel bad for her. This may be the best wake-up call for her that forces her to change things for the better.
Kids. New job. Someone else's fault...The trifecta....I SERIOUSLY expected to here I'm broke and have no way to get there...
"...6pm. Next case..."
“Give me ‘Be Better” pill.” Well, that takes care of this whole thing.
Nice to see Judge Simpson being 'hard but still relatively lenient sentencing' on a defendant, and in a way that (hopefully) they understand he's doing it for their long term benefit. To get her to admit and explain should go a long way to help her, if she really wants help! Clever social engineering on his part, but that's what a lot of court time is about I guess. Great video, thanks. ;)
Agreed. Hopefully it will be a wake-up call for her. People who are generally law abiding don't need a severe wake-up call. Now we will see if she will drop her "everyone feel so sorry for me" routine and reform.
She still had the balls to ask about her job after all that too
Actions have consequences and the judge realizes that. I just hope the defendant does as well.
Her fake tears 🤣🤣🤣 .. I’m happy he read though her
“I don’t wanna make excuses” 🤣 *proceeds to make excuses
Such a nice young gal! Puts all the pressure on the judge to get her to straighten her life out. And she thought all along she would get out of this yet. When the reality hit, WOW!
definitely not snowing judge S...
10:14 the guy in the middle left's reaction is priceless!
LMAO hes like WHOOOOOOAAAAAA 🫨
I also mentioned this. He's like "OHHHHH WOWWWWWWWWWW"
This amazing Judge Simpson may very well have just saved her life. I sincerely hope that one day she can look back and be grateful this happened. If so, she’s lucky. Many don’t get off this elevator on such a high floor. Many go to the basement level.
Lmao the way she’s peeking in the cam crying to make sure everyone sees her crying 🤣
16:19- WHEN JUDGE SAID, "...NOT HAPPENING ON MY WATCH", I KNEW, AND I THINK SHE KNEW, SHE WAS GOING TO JAIL. THAT'S WHY SHE BEGAN TO SOB LOUDER, WHEN SHE HEARD JUDGE SAY THAT. SHE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING! THANKS!
Who would have been taking care of your kids if you were killed in an accident?
Excellent. Well said Judge. Thank you for making her accountable.
If you get a sentence of thirty days or less, our local courts let you serve it on the weekends- report after work on Friday, stay locked up until Sunday night. The jailers hate it, but the court figures you have a lesser chance of recidivism (and a better chance of paying your fines and court costs) if you don't lose your job.
Interesting. Do they have different schedules for people with jobs on the weekend?
I agree and was hoping that he would give her a couple of weekends to serve for her to find out just how much fun jail is, but it does no one any favors for her to lose her job when she is released from jail. I hope she has good people in her new job and they will stick with her thru this. She needs the boost in confidence a supporting employer could be for her. They can play an important role in her recovery. This has to be one of the hardest things for judges to do. But it is the right thing, kudos to Judge Simpson, I know he finds no joy in this.
@@brayhill Yes. Whenever your have your days off, those are the days you spend in jail until you fulfill your sentence b
There was a short and sweet court appearance on judge Middleton's channel where a guy who violated his probation got exactly that, a few days fo jail to serve on the weekends. Iirc he was a construction worker with four kids and a stable marriage, and it was probably a first offense, so judge Middleton went light on him.
Also save on all kinds of house hold bills
Yes judge yessss!! Finally one that didn't give into those tears!!!👏👏👏👏
watch the video i refernce about 4 min in...THIS judge isnt swayed by tears....
Hmmmm he gives in to certain people. I knew it wouldn’t be her.
Thank you Judge for your concern and being hard on her. She needs to accept the truth.
Best Judge in the USA. He’s awesome. Shows sympathy where there is true remorse and has compassion. But in his wisdom when he sees someone playing games the hammer comes down for their own good.
She claims that her kid gave her the drink disguised in some type of soft drink, and she did not know there was alcohol in it, nor could taste it. (Clearly, she could not taste it as she had a second) After sentencing, she cries that she has no one to take care of her kid. Just how old is this "kid" who spikes his mother's soft drink and needs to be taken care of??!
What a good PD. . . Still comes to his client's defense even after getting slammed by the judge!
When he said who would be taking care of them if you killed your self in the accident I was like 😳 sad but true, and she needed to hear it. I bet she thinks twice before drinking again. Plus her excuse was as lame as they come, and lying on her son. 🤦🏻♀️ she needed a few days in jail to open her eyes
Or, if she killed someone else and went to prison - who would take care of the kid then?
Oh how I love this judge.
James Fortin’s face through this is HILARIOUS!!
.08 from 2 slushy drinks??? Those were some seriously STRONG slushies and she couldn't tell they were alcoholic? hmmm
Lying is easy when you're an addict.
I absolutely love how she comes back after the judge gives her an opportunity to be honest and keeps lying. All he wanted you to say was yes, I fucked up. I drank. I knew there was something in there but I didn’t expect to be tested and felt like I could beat the system. You have to wonder how many days she skips the Naltraxone or how many people in AA know about her relapse? She clearly hasn’t gotten brutally honest yet. Hopefully she gets there because there is freedom on the other side from what I have seen. The most telling thing to me is saying that it won’t happen again because it just won’t. She hasn’t even admitted to the first step. She WILL drink and drug whether or not she wants to if she doesn’t dive headfirst into the program. She needs inpatient. She needs a sponsor. She needs to do the work completely honestly. In my own opinion she doesn’t think she has a problem. She thinks she will be able to curb this disease with simply willpower. But like a true alcoholic no matter what is put in front of her, be it jail time or losing her kids or her liver giving out, she will still drink. None of that is sufficient enough to effect a change in her behavior. She just thinks with the tears and the “I’m sorry” that the judge will just look the other way and feel sorry. He doesn’t feel sorry because he has heard it all before and see in her the same pattern of other repeat violators and people who are just trying to work the system. I don’t wanna give any excuses but that’s all you’ve been doing so far. First your kid. Then you didn’t know what was in it. Then maybe I suspected something. Then I’m not a bad person and don’t get in trouble. You were literally 3x the legal limit and hit someone. You absolutely deserve to be locked away somewhere, be it jail or rehab to fully accept your irresponsibility and how you potentially could have killed someone because you thought it was a wise idea to get behind the wheel and drive around a 2 ton wrecking ball with wheels.
Judge is a savage though with that burn at the end. She deserves it though.
If EVERY single first DUI got 6mos to 1yr, there would be a lot less DUIs.
You are right judge. Who would take care of her kids if she would have killed herself in the accident. Best ruling I have ever seen. Not only did the judge give the brutal facts but he even gave her a break, even if she doesn't see it.
My son in Canada had this happen he absolutely took responsibility we never had anything to do with it because I’m a parent who believes you do the crime it’s your responsibility. He was extremely lucky no injuries when he crashed his car. When all said and done he got a blow & go in his car and never had a warning for the nine months and it cost him $30,000 for his actions,I’m thankful he didn’t hurt anyone because of his choices 😍today he’s been doing amazing and hasn’t forgot this lesson .
That was brutal, but fair. Someday, way down the road she will thank him. Personally, sober since June 2003 with no regrets. Memories of the close calls still bring fear to my soul.
The woman who takes to the drink
Thinks crying will free her, I think.
The Judge who knew best
Was so unimpressed.
She'll now use the jail's chrome sink.
HH...u DEFINITELY have talent !!
Not taking responsibility is way worse than the actual offense itself
Judge Simpson nailed it. Some people need jail time. She got a chance at freedom and decided to spit in the courts face.
that was hard to watch, I feel for her but I feel for her kids even more. I hope this makes her see the writing on the wall. I cant pass any judgement or throw stones. There for the grace of God go I. I surely could have been in her shoes back in my younger days, I was lucky, very lucky. I wasnt an alcoholic but I drank often, I drove, at times with my kids in the car. I know how lucky I was. I stopped cold when my oldest son was grown and watched him slip into the throws of alcoholism. I was his safe place to come when he needed the support. I kept a alcohol free place for him, and kept his keys so he couldnt drive or go to the liquor store. I finally had him convinced to go to an inpatient detox and rehab, and on the day before he was to go, while he was detoxing and hallucinating in the night at his dads house, he followed Robin Williams and took his own life. Leaving me to go to his dads the next morning and find my son barricaded in his room dead. I havent drank more than a glass of wine rarely since. I just have no interest. And I miss my child terribly every day since Aug 20, 2014. His birthday is tomorrow, May 27th and we should be going out for lunch to celebrate as we had done for years. My son should be here celebrating his 36th birthday with his mom, he should be married and bringing me grandbabies to babysit. I should not be taking a cupcake and candle to the cemetery.
So I am glad Judge Simpson did the hard thing, the right thing and gave her a couple of days to experience the small consequences of her choices. Cause I can assure you that there are in fact much harsher consequences than this. I hope this snaps her awareness into reality and she makes some changes. I dont want anyone to experience losing the things they love the most, no one should have to wear the ugly shoes I wear. The ugly shoes I cannot change, the shoes of a grieving mother in a hell that will not get better. I must put on these shoes every single day for the rest of my life.
