Exactly. It's like people have no social skills anymore.

Exactly what I was going to say! Don’t be arrogant and challenge the judge’s authority when you need a favor…? It makes me worry about how he treats his family to be honest

Was going to say the same. Literally so many ways to ask for a favor, he chose to be an arrogant jerk

When I heard him saying that, I said (out loud in my quiet house) "Oh, no he didn't"! I think my pupper thinks I'm losing it, but I'm ok with that...😉

I couldn't have said it better!

My impression of him is that he doesn’t just want to send people to jail and/or slap them with a bunch of felony convictions. If there is a viable alternative to jail, he’d rather go that route. However, when people are given chance after chance after chance to correct their behavior and they simply won’t comply, he won’t hesitate to sentence them to jail.

Yeah, too bad he's corrupt. Just look him up. It's disappointing, I know.

​@@magicponyrides I couldn't find anything what did you look up?

@@KPuddin Try searching "judge cedric simpson judicial misconduct." That brings up everything for me.

@@magicponyrides really?

@@pbear7814 Yeah, really. He was fucking his assistant, and when she drove drunk he corruptly tried to get her charges dropped and the whole incident swept under the rug IIRC.

Congrats on turning your life around. I know its difficult to do.

Thanks for sharing your success story! You gave me renewed hope!

U go boo!♥️🌎

How awesome that you got clean, and that you're giving back.

He lifts her up and gives her respect and confidence- she's done the right thing: found herself in court , owned her mess up and used the system for what it's meant to be used for- to help her get straight. Her probation officer is lovely too. Good luck lady ❤

As if he really cares about his daughter and her prom. Sweet justice would be for LEO to arrest him at the prom. Although I doubt he has any plans to be there.

Agreed! This judge is so honest and fair that if you had come to him with respect and some type of humility; I truly believe he would have given you an extra day to turn yourself in.

Agreed, another case of ego getting in the way.

You are correct. You never ever, tell a judge what you are and not going to do.

He's the dad/grandad we all wish we'd had ! ❤

People in the comments are loving or destructive depending on the channel. I love *Law Talk With Mike* and people like you who cheer on people who are overcoming instead of staying focused on their past. *There are some people in society who will never be welcomed back* Harvey W / Jared F *but people like this lady shouldn’t be on that list and like you I enjoy rooting for people who make a comeback instead of making excuses.*

Exactly right

He was sooo disrespectful!! If he would have just asked nicely maybe the judge would have let him, but I have a feeling that he would have made up another excuse.

Yes.Otherwise she would be paying Jail Cucumber fee's!

When I first started watching this about 8 months ago i was going through A LOT! So I completely understand. It will get better! Stay strong

Awwww thank you😘

@@Babytalk1963 I found him about a year ago myself and now that I'm laid up it is a comfort. I am easily amused...lol. But Mike makes me smile. I have a couple few more months to go for this limb to be repaired so I'm queued up!

@@LawTalkWithMike You know I've been watching a long time. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes I speak up. But your chat is always good fun. I almost went to law school. My parents thought I was smart enough. Good debater. Used to read law books ie cases for fun....well, still do. I just get law lingo and I am able to discern quickly who is being dishonest, a gift I earned. But so much school. Ugh. I did enjoy college but when I was 19 I was raising a kid not looking to get bogged down with studies. It's only when in my 40's I realized I love school. I guess if I wanted to I could still be a paralegal. I'm rambling. 🐐 have a blessed day. Jenn

@@jennruggles3528 never too late to go back to school! Hope things get better for you soon 🙂

For real though what would it hurt to give him a few more days

​@@candicehiles729it probably would have been granted had he asked in a humble, respectful way. It's all in the delivery.

@@candicehiles729The bad attitude was his downfall. You would think anyone would be smarter than to use that tone when talking to the judge.

My thoughts exactly!!

This has been a continuing problem since the necessity of Zoom court. Back when defendants were appearing in person, the judge could simply have them remanded then and there. Now, because they're not physically present, some defendants feel they can just "call the shots" with impunity (which still takes a heck of a lot of nerve, if you ask me).

Ask the defendant if he committed the crimes during his daughter's 17 years or if he should have waited until after prom to commit them.

And it sounded like he's had multiple issues with court/probation.

So is Judge Judy a real judge. It's the law that helps facilitate "sitting in".

​@@RichardAddisonyes she is.

Totally agree it drives me crazy

It's called picking your battles. They'd constantly be having to stop to tell them to sit still.

I agree. Walking around, eating, smoking, driving, not being dressed properly...all the things that wouldn't be allowed in a courtroom. I say don't hear the case, kick em out of the zoom meeting.

Being a KZfaq star is bigger than being a tv judge!

Ann Arbor specifically. Otherwise you might find yourself in front of Perkins by accident (or even Marabel!)

Amazing how you see such small issues spiral out of control over not showing up to court

It was a good case - a reminder that courts aren't just to punish people, but also to rehabilitate - and even support people. It sounds like she put in the hard work with the court's support to address her problems, which is better for both her and wider society on the whole. I wish her all the best.
