thanks Mike! writing em makes me feel like I’m watching with each and every one of ya! wish I could be…

100% agree! This channel got me hooked on day one. I can not get enough of the videos from Judge Simpsons court.

Agree she does amazing job❤❤

​@@OSGCourtWatch Appreciate you! Hoping we can see what happens on the 26th!!! This attorney needs sanctioned! But what makes Judge Simpson such a great judge is that he recognizes his anger could cloud his judgment.

Hey Mike really like the videos good job! Have you ever run across one that makes your blood boil?

He arrogant to tell his client to not turn himself in on a warrant then to laugh about it.

I don't think he's laughing. It's sort of a tick. But he really needs to learn how to read expressions and respond accordingly. He took the wrong tone from the very beginning. The bond was revoked already. You need to be apologetic and persuasive and appeal to the judge. Why was he adopting a trial stance. The charges were serious. He seemed to minimialize them as if the judge was in on his old boys club. And he needs to learn how to apologize. He must have spoken 10 sentences before he apologized and then went on to trying to persuade the judge to change his mind about the bond as if the judge accepted his apology. If I were the defendant, I would be shitting bricks about now. By the way, I call BS on his excuse. Notice in the beginning when the prosecution said they didn't know where the defendant was, and see the way he said, "he's here" like he knew it would be a surprise.

He started reasonable and advocating for his client AS ALL GOOD defense attorneys should but he ended very poorly.

@@branchcovidian2001 His "reasonable" put his client back behind bars, and almost got himself sanctioned to boot. You don't jabber about witnesses at a bond hearing, ever. That was not "good" defense lawyering. It was outright stupid. Good lawyers know what is appropriate, and what is not, in court and out. They also don't verbally assault or defame the prosecution without sound evidence to support such an attack. They also know not to advise clients regarding criminal behaviour, other than to say, "don't."

@@theeddorian You know absolutely nothing about the case.

Why is he that upset to begin with? You can be disappointed, sure. But to have to walk away because you're so mad? As a judge? Incredibly unprofessional. Incredibly.

I've recently started watching these videos and have seen him make multiple decisions when upset, so that's false. He should be able to make well informed and rational decisions not after just losing his cool.

​@@EastCoastINC ....my thoughts exactly, he doesn't posess the ability to separate emotions from duty. " I can't work right now cause im mad"...thats nothing to aspire to.

​@@EastCoastINC Democrat lawyers are as pathetic as their racecard playing democrat sheep clientes.

He's normally so reserved. This is the first time I've seen him express any emotion that he wasn't 100% in control over. He had to legitimately restrain himself and count to ten. I don't blame him but it's a pretty anomalous display from judge Simpson.

I swear! He straight up showin’ his whole _ass!_ 🤨🤦🏾‍♀️

fr I feel like i could do just as good a job as him b/c i've heard TV show lawyers too

@@mistergone5156 *Bayou Academy of Law & Agriculture.*

it's such a classic. i'm sure doing the reading _as_ he makes his presentation and acting dramatic to try and cover it up was very successful when he had to do a book report on catcher in the rye in 9th grade, but here it resulted in this amazing exchange: prosecutor: the police said they would provide the screenshots for the texts they quoted in the report. defense: i don't have any screenshots. prosecutor: i just said i don't have them. you can read the texts in the report. defense: I DONT HAVE ANY SCREENSHOTS

The way judge Simpson shook his head after the atty said that, priceless

That's when the bottom fell out.

​​@@DixieRebel3108 May I say that someone doesn't know how to read a room. If he had looked up, he would have seen what we all had. But given his responses, he likely still wouldn't have altered his course. He thinks he's in a law school mock trial team. This is a bond hearing, take it down a notch. He also pissed of the prosecutor and you don't do that pretrial. 😮

@@DixieRebel3108 Exactly

He is definitely "even keeled". He is one of the most theatrical and impatient judge I have seen.

@@ruz7951 you mean patient

And impartial?

Oh, and you do not ever -- EVER -- want to be a practicing attorney who goes sideways in his court. Errors -- that's one thing. Disrespect for the court -- get ready to meet the wrath of God!

@@ruz7951 Did you mean 'not even keeled'?

Even I wanted to hide when the attorney said that. 😅

Same here, but when he goes off it makes me feel like I'm over at a friend's place and they're getting an earful from a parent!

Wow!! Imagine judge simpson as high school principal!! 😬😤😡🫣🤣🤣🤣

I was just wondering what he would be like as a dad. fair but just a little scary. that dad in the neighborhood you knew not to mess with even a little bit but would pay you for shoveling his driveway, mowing the lawn or raking the leaves even if he didn't need you.

He commands respect.

I know! It's kinda like I felt standing in front of my dad when he was angry and I was scared.

Yeah … he manipulated his client right into a jail cell! 😂

That's narcissism and trying to control the narrative. Typical.

@@ScoW71419 😂😂😂👍

Agreed! Very smarmy.

He uses the same (OLD) technique as Trump. It only works on Trumpites!

He's backpedalling really fast 😂

They're all dirty whether they are defense or prosecutors...

@@christopherscott934- negative. I am currently in a case and my defense attorney is wonderful. He’s advocating for me to insure I get due process. You’ve obviously never been on the receiving end of charges that are greatly embellished or outright false. A good defense attorney may be all that stands between you and jail time for something you are falsely accused of.

I think he is sabotaging his client

​@@christopherscott934i agree.

@@christopherscott934 I disagree. There are always bad apples but I think most attorneys are great. Unfortunately the bad ones ruin the reputation for the good ones.

There is no evidence! The police havent bothered to find out who owns the phone numbers! Theres the false claim of a stolen gun! (which the cops didnt investigate as its false) bond violation occurs if you are charged even when no evidence and its all lies!

Thank you for writing it all out so I didn’t have to. This covers everything!

Everything you said is spot on. This defense lawyer is a slimey pos. Even after Simpson said, "You don't want to do that right now," this slimeball had to get the last word. Shame on this lawyer; he should be sanctioned.

The way he wouldn't shut up, you would almost think he was a solvereign citizen. He couldn't shut it off , and almost carried it on too long.

Yep. Judge Simpson called it out as sanctionable. The lawyer started tapdancing, and eating crow, but were I Judge Simpson, I would still be sending it to the Bar disciplinary committee would be a wise decision. That bit right at the end might have been the nail in the coffin for the lawyer, too. When Judge Simpson says that approaching is a bad idea, the right move is to keep the mouth in the shut position.

I think that the defense attorney did not see the contradiction between those two statements. He did tell his client to not turn himself in. However, he probably thought that his client did not need to. Therefore, it would not matter. Still he was wrong.

​@matthewanthony4269 bond was revoked and to turn himself into jail how do you not know that means turn yourself to jail.

@@tizzytank579What is the point of turning yourself in, when all it does it put you in jail? Is the jail some kind of luxury spa?

@@Matthew-Anthony when the courts order you to you have to otherwise get a charge of contemt of court and end up in jail longer also if his lawyer told him not to the lawyer could loose his liscence to practice law.

@@tizzytank579I know what you mean. However, lawyers have a duty to defend and protect their clients though. It is a shame, but someone has to do it.

Are they waiting for their case? Or just getting a Springer fix? 😂

I thought it was me! I’m like why is this oxygen tank patient in the trailer park zooming?

Agreed, very collected and impressive prosecutor, she is one to watch for sure.

She is great

@3:06 Simpson put him in his place.

Not really, the attorney has bad facts and a bad client, all he has left is to pound the table, its why he went for the spurious no complaining witness gambit. Its all he could do.

​@@probablynotmyname8521 What bad facts no excuse for telling his client to go against court orders. The lawyer even lied saying he knew the client was before the judge already that week if so why did he tell his client to hide where judge Simpson was FORCED to tell him to get up to the podium.

@@63076topher yes id agree there is no excuse for telling his client that, if true its a clear breach of his duty to the court. When i say bad facts i mean that you can clearly see your client is guilty and the facts show that and are hard, if not impossible, to dispute. Sometimes you have a bad client which is where they are just a horrible person and do bad things. Sometimes you have bad facts that you cant dispute. When you get both together all you can do is pound the table to try and get a result.

@@probablynotmyname8521 By the way the judge spoke to him this IS NOT the first time he has told a client to go against a court order.

@@63076topher im not seeing that, also no court, especially not simpson, would tolerate a blatant repeated duty violation from an attorney. The one things lawyers must always do, above all others, is fulfil their duty to the court, we fail at that we get struck off. Its why the lawyer crapped his pants at the end and begged simpson for forgiveness, he didnt strike me as a repeat offender, but he may be. As an aside, lawyers can quite often not fulfil their duties to clients but not fulfil the duty to the court and the hammer of doom falls on you. When you read discipline cases lawyers can ignore clients for years or steal from trust accounts and not face discipline for a while but lie to a court and you face the firing squad.

Yup. Lies and avoid accountability just as long as he can, then wants credit for "owning up" when he's backed into a corner like the rat he is.

100%

Could have joined his client behind bars. I bet he is worried about his license right now.

​@@govols535 No way. A person that had any sort of self-preservation wouldn't have the attitude he has. He probably thinks Judge Simpson was in the wrong.

That look right at the end was terrifying. Just the way he had to keep from yelling "arrest that lawyer" as much as he wanted to.

​@@govols535That's what I was thinking.

He lets his emotions get the best of him at times

I think so too.

This judge is excellent! Love him!

None finer!!

@@lindarockafellow5058I think I’ve fallen a little in love with him. lol.

Simpson believes being charged with a crime means you’re guilty anyway. You could walk in with the best lawyer in your state and you still have to deal with 2 prosecutors. One beside you and one on the bench.

@@JodyOwen-we6ooYou are sad. How do you continue to get everything completely wrong? Why are you so bitter?

@@willer3399thank you and he’s always attacking the blk judges 🙄🙄

​@@JodyOwen-we6ooNO Judge Simpson has seen people innocent and dropped those cases as well. He seems like a fair judge from all I watch.

First of all everything the attorney said was indeed the truth. They have no proof and no case. You have messages and screenshots from a number that doesn’t belong to him but of course they are going to make it seem as if it is him to try to make their case. Bitches always lie to get someone locked up. So how about next time keep your comments about my Bf to your self bc the charges do not carry a minimum of 3 years. Plus he didn’t even know he had a warrant until he was pulled over while driving my car which in fact is not purple but maroon. And if he indeed was trying get one over on the judge wouldn’t he just not show up to court? Make it make sense.

Lawyers like him make me uncomfortable because it’s slam the Defense and make his Client look like an angel!

How did he think he wasn't going to get caught? When he clearly said he told his client not to turn his self in.

@@sharonbosley6028that’s what’s mind boggling. He admitted to telling his client not to turn himself in. Yet after the recess he’s claiming he would NEVER do such a thing and has always told his client to follow the orders of the court.

I don't think he did tell his cient that. I think that was a spur of the moment lie to 'win the case' at hand and then immediately realised that he's destroyed his career for one case and one defendent. He's desperately trying to back out of it without admitting he lied, which would be just as sanctionable. As it happens, I think it probably worked as intended at the time: put some doubt as to whether defendent was to blame. But what a stupid thing to do either way...

Pahahahahaha 😂... you're right.

She came in totally unprepared. Yes, defense should have noted the absence of any witnesses and asked for a later hearing when the prosecutor could be bothered to have her sh*t together. And left it at that. But since Simpson is essentially a prosecutor on the bench it wouldn’t have made any difference.

meanwhile the judge was ready to grand bail and the defense attorney messed it up badly enough that the kid on trial is now spending several months in jail without bail while awaiting his case.

Another dude goes to jail based solely on his ex's word. Then she doesn't even show up to defend her allegations.

The prosecutor could have stood up, done the Hokey Pokey, and sat back down and would *still* have walked out of there with a win thanks to the defense attorney.

Where's the plaintiff? All that woman had to do was make an accusation and not bother to show up. The prosecutor sucks.

Exactly right.

That’s my favorite thing about this channel!

I've stopped watching certain other channels due to their obnoxious, constantly sarcastic commentary.

*defense. Poor speller.

Wasn't it great to see such a rude cocky creep turn into a cringy suck ass. He sealed his fate the minute he replied "I hope so" to Judge Simpson saying "I did" (read the document)

Mellow cat! Calm down you jive turkey!

Jive turkey I Ike it lol

@Michael Souza ha! Haven't seen mellow cat in a while so I had to match your energy!

No he didn’t and either would I!

I’ve never seen Simpson anything but grumpy and essentially an employee of the DAs office. He was missing the day “presumed innocent” was explained in law school and believes the opposite.

What a load of inane assumptions. Your crowning glory of self righteous lunacies might be the idea that you can tell a lawyer by the client though, especially with court appointed counsel as here.

with court appointed attorneys, the client has little or no say in who they get. And the attorneys doing the work are usually third rate ones that can't get a job in an actual law firm above the grade of file clerk.

@@jwenting Yes, but the client/defendant can refuse to work, even with court appointed and/or public defenders. That happens quite a lot. There's a woman who has been in jail for over 3 years in Florida, who has run through 6 attorneys, because she doesn't agree with them. They aren't stuck with what they get.Which is good...they should have that right. Hence my original comment. A defendant will stay with an attorney who meshes with their views and style, and vice versa.

@@JodyOwen-we6oo As I just responded to someone else...people are not forced to stay with a court appointed attorney. I'll repeat what I wrote: - using as examples cases that are well known in the media..so people with have familiarity with them. For example, there is a woman in Florida who has been in jail, awaiting trial, for over 3 years. Her attorneys, because we are talking very much about the plural, are court appointed. She has been through 6 sets of them, and the 6th is on breaking ice. People are not forced to accept the attorneys that a court appoints, just as attorneys are not forced to stay with a client appointed to them. Which is right. Certainly someone in a position as vulnerable as a defendant without resources should not be wholly without say in who and how they are represented in court. Though it is also true that sometimes a court will not permit an attorney to dump a client (eg Kurt Nurmi trying to sluff off Jodie Arias) or a client to sack an attorney (eg Jodi Arias trying to get rid of Kurt Nurmi...a year later). A working relationship has to exist, and overwhelmingly involves a sympathy in style and manner. Go to court sometime to watch. Blustery bullshitting attorneys often appear to be the sibling of a blustering bullshitting client. Soft spoken attorneys don't usually last with clients who believe shouting is a good idea. Look at Trump and his bench of creatures. They are all completely at ease with lying on national television. That is NOT something that the vast majority of reputable attorneys would do. People have styles.... You, for example, rely wholly on trying to insult me and overblown vocabulary, and you are very angry, very angry with someone you've never met, never spoken to. Someone who you are attempting to bully ...or trying to impress other people with your shouty response...without ever checking to see whether: you dolt...I AM A FRIGGING ATTORNEY. Suck on that

I don't see where you get the sexism part, but the rest is pretty accurate.

The laughter.

@sabinrawr His attitude towards Ms Kirby, the prosecutor. Also his and the client's attitude towards the petitioning party, making the dv. and child ab*se accusations and allegations. Stank. When you know, you know.

@@NavigatorMother It's fairly natural to be upset with the people who are actively trying to incarcerate you. That they are both women may well be incidental. Disrespecting someone who is a woman isn't the same as disrespecting someone because she is a woman. And I'm not even claiming that this guy isn't sexist. But "when you know you know" isn't grounds for making otherwise-unfounded accusations. That's all.

@@sabinrawr This is a purely subjective context. Opinions... everyone is allowed one.

you can tell he’s REALLY pissed when he is quiet mad…

My mother always said…. “Give them enough rope and they hang themselves.” Perfect Example right here.

And he was the one that was poorly prepared as far as reading the whole motion the State filed and his strategy of being melodramatically incredulous and repetitive made him all the less convincing with his argument.

Yeah. Brought a knife to a gun fight!!

In fairness, the defendant should have kept his mouth shut. Those mics were very sensitive and picked up everything, including some snickering and the idiot’s comment that was overheard by the prosecuting attorney.

I'm marking it on my calendar!

Dude that's a freaking joke, he makes unnecessary quips all the time, he has a chip on his shoulder, they let the kid out to begin with, there's no definitive proof he violated bond, the kid showed up to handle his business like a man, he not absconding, it seems like a genuine misunderstanding and to waste time and go on and on and be so angry is pathetic and as if that's not enough they're gonna keep going. He's one of those arrogant twats I've seen before that acts like the robe makes him a God. People like him have no business on the bench. When lawyers make a comment he snaps, he makes them all the time tho. It's hypocritical.

@@griffisjm • Did you watch the entire video? Did you hear what the prosecutor was presenting?

@@jakemoeller7850 they have a witness that's not there, supposed messages that they don't have copies of, etc.., But again, I was more referring to personal experience of bonds being revoked over crap, my employee had a no contact, the girl claimed he violated it, on her word the arrested him, he sits in jail for 5months til his lawyer finally presented video of him at a restaurant at the supposed time he was beating on the door. I had a friend who's girlfriend called the court and said her boyfriend was drinking and getting high when he had a court order to remain sober, bond was revoked yet 3 months later in court the urinalysis they tool on his arrests showed he hadn't done anything. I was more referring to the fact they let this prick out facing several charges and some serious, he's in court as he should be, and they're throwing a hissy fit over him not turning himself in. Every day people jump bail, I've been one of them, yet this kid is there, but we still get 10 min of how the judge is just so angry and so shocked and the defense attorney "shouldn't do that right now", "I just can't believe it", "we need to investigate", I mean come on, it's pathetic.

Judge Simpson is one of the GREAT judges, he doesn't tolerate bullshit from anyone, sovcit, moor, or normal citizen alike.

Yes he did and most other people who try stuff in his Court!
