You Probation officers are soulless demons.

I hope u were 1 of the good juvenile officers. I had been an abused kid . Extreme. And I kept getting in minor trouble. I got locked up back in 90s in Missouri in juvy for a year. I was 6 ft 1 at 13 . Ppl were at a loss of what to do with me.i only needed heard and guidance. Not locked up. Not ur fault of course. I just delt with alot of selfish corrupt ppl in the juvenile system back then

As a regular person, i think it’s ridiculous for a judge to reject a plea deal.

He matters.

Amen!!

Yes! But republiKans do LITERALLY everything in their power (legal & Illegal) so that Only the MOST Ignorant, Vile, Racist, Women Hating People Sit on the Supreme Court !! Edit: Left out a Word

The judge used this guy's fifth amendment right as a reason to reject the deal now this kid could get away free. I agree that the judge should have rejected the deal but you can't use someone's constitutional rights against them.

@@GradertJ- No, The judge said you only get special consideration for special behavior. That’s like a criminal deserving 20 years in prison, but the prosecutor offered them a plea deal of 10 years, they decide to go to trial and lose and then they demand that they get the 10 years. You don’t get 10 Years anymore, even though you have a right to a trial if you decide to take that chance then you get the regular sentence. You don’t get a discount. It’s not a win-win situation for criminals.

We need to get rid of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who is corrupt. Put this guy on there instead.

Most judges are like this. They just don't make the news and you don't bother researching, so of course you don't know that.

The Judge appears to be well out of his depth on many occasions in his summing up. Scary!!

Most judges are competent and impartial, why do you speak like this one (as awesome as he is) is some kind of rarity?

He has humility.

@@920WASHBURNand that is why you’re not a judge!

@@920WASHBURN - Yeah, well, you could have sped up the video. Or skipped to the end. The judge wasn't talking to you. Nor were his comments made for your entertainment. He was engaged in the serious business of executing his judicial duties by putting his remarks justifying his decision into the court record. That he exceeded your attention span is of no consequence to anyone but you.

District attorneys are overworked and courts are backlogged which is just one reason a DA will offer a plea deal and so many defendants take plea deals offered when guilty. Sometimes it is because the DA doesn't have time to try all the cases on their docket sometimes they're not 100% sure it'll get a conviction and it's just another notch to show voters their conviction rates when running for office. There are times when someone truly deserves a break and there are times they don't. I'm glad this judge understands this.

I really want this judge to see all these comments he is awesome

@@jodiforeman3314 I doubt he has time *if he's throughly reading pre-sentenceing reports.

4:02

He would have to sign “ the pledge”

Absolutely!

Do you know he isn’t? Is his position elected? Is he appointed by an elected official? To whom does he owe allegiance if so?

Before you get the wrong idea, I agree with the judge's decision but, technically, he's been in custody for 4 1/2 years according to the judge. Whatever sentence he does receive, they'll knock those 4+ years off.

He should be spending the next twenty years minimum in prison. A person died during the commission of a crime.. irregardless of the fact the he didn’t fire the “fatal” shot he still fired at the vehicle. And this LAZY POS prosecutor deserves to be in jail with him for even remotely, considering this idea which they thought was acceptable!

This is the sort of crime where a life sentence with the possibility of parole after a set period is appropriate.... Say 15 years (so another 10 and a half minimum in prison, and then subject to being deemed fit for release after that time a lifetime on probation)

@@LJT7907 This happens every day in the US. Like the judge said, it allows the system to work...if everyone went to trial, the system would collapse. Former Officer Chauvin only got 22 1/2 years, and he was actually convicted of murder. I'm not saying he should walk free but, let's not act like this happen to others(Black, white, red or green) all across this country. The problem isn't the prosecutors. Regardless of what the prosecutor recommends, the final decision is up to the judge.

@@LJT7907’irregardless’ is not a word-‘regardless’ stands alone. I agree with your statement, & have recently realized that many of us use “irregardless” for emphasis when we are emotionally charged (me2).

Not so fast. Now there has to be a trial. And media. And photos. And that all means heartache for the victim's family.

It's because in America we do not value life as we should.

Here are the simple facts and what is wrong with our "justice" system. It exists only for profit. Probation is very profitable. It earns the government and police money and a steady income. Incarceration costs the government money. End of story.

well said Em!

You have never broken the law?

I agree. Left a comment detailing about Judge Burns education and journey. I find the individuals who worked in adjacent “less glamorous” jobs such as a probation officer, have knowledge and understanding of defendants beyond those who do not. Judge Burns began his education at Brown University-Top-10 Ivy League school, so he was obviously accomplished coming out of high school. While working as Probation Officer, earned an MA and his law degree. So, he’s been to one of the most elite Universities in this country, then worked full-time in an often thankless role while gritting out his advanced education. I was born and still live in his district and I am so pleased we have jurists like Judge Michael Burns. (And…as Minnesota is basically “Canada South”-if trump wins again we will secede to the north, thank you!-I feel great kinship with you and my “Canadian Family.”
