You’re pushing it with the whole virtual court thing, some things should remain in person
rekt
@BIDEN 2020 Weird how your account says it 8 years old, but Biden has only been in office for 2 months.
I think the main reason is because Covid is especially dangerous to the elderly and most Judges are older.
It would suck to be in the middle of a case that takes months to go through only to have the judge get sick and potentially die.
Meanwhile Pastor James Coates who did not had history of violent crimes have to remain in jail for court hearing
Coates made the critical thinking decision to defy the law continually.
Bail is not approved based on the case, but the circumstances of bail. It has 3 levels but only 2 are usually used.
Will the person show up for court?
Will the person reoffend?
The “Pastor” made it clear he would reoffend He was denied bail. I haven’t seen this idiots original bail hearing, but I’m guessing the prosecutor was unable to prove any grounds for the denial of bail.
There are reasons under the law for everything. Is it perfect? No. But the “Pastor” had a very clear cut, open and shut case for them to deny bail.
@Canadian Person you need to change your name if you want to prioritize unscientific decrees by unelected “authorities” rather than the Charter Rights of REAL Canadians.
@rhwf Do you think the Pastor was following the science behind infectious diseases?
Almost as if there was a reason why things like this are done in person.
Duh, right?
What if he’d gotten away with it?
It is always nice when the clearly critical thinking challenged identify themselves.
Why was the judge trying to stop him from incriminating himself further?
@Alan Malcheski because u r innocent….until PROVEN guilty
@Alan Malcheski they would definitely fir him…new crime…must be given the right to remain silent
My guess is that he hadn’t been given his miranda rights yet. “You have the right to remain silent. . Etc. . .” and the judge was trying to prevent him from saying something that could not be used against him later. If a legal officer asks you questions without advising you of those rights any statement made can be thrown out as evidence.
@xlxcrossxlx who asked him a question and what did they ask him?
@Alan Malcheski Except for maybe the guys lawyer… or an auditor?
Just the other day in traffic court a Dr signed into zoom court while he was in the middle of performing surgery 9 When he raised his hand for the oath it was covered in blood) and was caught by the judge , ho was stunned and disgusted and stopped the court proceedings immediately .
Kudos to Ms Davis for her keen observation.
Ms. Harris? You mean Ms. Davis?
@Haeun Park you’re correct, not sure how I had that wrong. Corrected now, thanks.
Wow. Thank goodness the lady was so observant!
Question: What was Paul Gipson drinking in the video shot? I’m sure it was soda; I hope it wasn’t what it looked like; ie: alcohol? 🤔
If I was drinking beer in a Zoom call it would be with a bendy straw
I love how every news outlet shows the face of the women but this one …
Some abusers just can’t help themselves
Wow, I’m super surprised.😐
*GOT ‘IM!*
He asked 4 it to be dropped u can’t ask for it 2 be drop u nut she ask 4 protection against you
Pick your boyfriends carefully.
Eff domestic violence. The worst kind of violence.
if this becomes a TV movie, I want Natalie Zea or Judy Greer to portray the lady procecutor.
Where did this happen at?
