Let me just say - That sure ain't ALL you're gonna get here!

In Michigan, "A nolo contendere plea does not admit guilt, it merely communicates to the court that the criminal defendant does not wish to contest the state's accusations and will acquiesce in the imposition of punishment."[11] A nolo contendere plea may be appropriate "where the defendant would not be able to supply a sufficient factual basis for a guilty plea because he or she was intoxicated on the night of the incident, where there is the possibility of future civil litigation resulting from the offense, or where a defendant cannot remember the events which led to his or her being charged with a crime" from wikipedia

You aren’t admitting guilt. You just don’t contest the fact that the state has enough evidence to convict you in front of a jury.

Thank you Peatearg and adamquinn for the information and I sort of get that. Can the victims still sue for damages

My is ok

@@Pauline-hm5sy it was as first until he came back from break

Yeah, from the morning session. Just a little while ago.

She's full of baloney that's why, you seem them all the time. It's really odd behaviour when renting should not be this difficult. It's excuses to why they don't want to pay, it's not that they are broke, they just had at handling money. Many plead poverty but they eat extremely well. So that excuse doesn't wash with me. Pay your rent and have total peace, don't pay and you make life harder on yourself... and stressing the judge out. 🤭

It took me a minute to figure out what the tenant was saying. From what I gather, when they moved in (2019), they just took over the landlords estimated payment plan. It didn’t get put into the tenants name until they lived there almost a year. The landlords estimated payment was a lower amount because it was based on one person…, of course the usage went up exponentially after a family of five moved in. So end of year (2020) when they got the actual reading, there was a large outstanding portion. So that’s why dte tried to get that 2500 before changing it over to the couples name. It’s also why their bills in the year Dec 20-Sept 21 were a lot higher because now they were estimating their bill based on the higher usage of the family from Oct 19-Oct 20. Edit to add…I’ve never heard of water bills that high so I’m hoping it’s both water and electric.

@@southernparadise9896 They state they was paying the portion they used a the agreed payment plan. The bill went from $281.00 payment plan amount to over 500 a month. Meaning they was paying for what they was using and the payment plan amount. Every time the gentle man tried to explain it he is told it’s not wanted to be heard. I haven’t either mine is about 53$ a month. That’s a whole lot of water.

It's the lawyer's fault. He should have argued for his client better. The landlord shouldn't charge rent, but someone is not legally allowed to live somewhere rent free for months at-a-time or we all could do it.

​@@44days621Partly the lawyer's fault, but mostly Simpson's aggressively anti-landlord stance.

He is finally being held accountable but he's trying to blame everything on being a senior. "Poor me, poor me." Wow, and I thought the other cases were good. Please someone share this with some of the court commentators.

Whoa, I'm at the second case and it is even stupider than the first, well, maybe not.

@@magi267 I wonder if people don't do there homework before coming to court it's unbelievable

I still waiting for jerome vs cassidy case. Donna Tope really mess up!

Were you comparing it to other court dockets or music videos? Most people who watch this court docket, like court dockets.

🤣 proof that people should not post their thoughts. Best to keep your questions to yourself because if you can't answer your own questions you may probably need to watch more courtcases or listen better. I never thought I'd see such a question in the comments, but low intelligence is becoming prominent in youtube comments nowadays. Not much depth, just shallow thought patterns.

Most likely witnesses refused to give testimony. Unfortunately this is common for domestic violence, assaults, and stores don’t send anyone for shoplifting. I’m sure not all of them are due to this, can also just be not enough evidence.

Usually lack of evidence

Generally to be honest, say for example, a domestic violence case happens. So, police show up to the scene, take reports, and "typically speaking", they're going to have a defendant that's wanting to press charges for example. Parties separate, etcetera. So, during that timeframe of discussing things with the public defenders office (which is "the people"), sometimes a defendant will back out of the charges since things perhaps cooled down, became very serious, and they're not wanting to go through with it. So, for that example to continue... the public defenders office will often be unable to proceed in such cases if the initial defendant isn't cooperating. That case will be dismissed. That's just one example though. What Lisa Parker said is exactly right! Sometimes people just don't show up, don't want to be involved, etcetera.

@@Kōkako-i1t Why are you being a deek? Maybe they're just getting into it, and want to learn. What's wrong with that? Most people I know are clueless about court happenings.

Do you females have anything interesting and productive to add? Is just the same comments, how you love the judge, love the ballif and love the judges dress sense? Seriously? Meanwhile we non-Americans are getting a top education from these live court sittings, we are getting a taste of Americans and how they live life while you noobs just focus on shallow observations, it's boring and all you women do this across youtube. No depth, no real use of the brains you were privileged with but refuse to use due to social norms and being part of a very disturbed twisted American society. Seems these court cases are just entertainment for Americans instead of giving them an insight to the failing system that some people think can be fixed. Instead it gets worse and people become more complacent and ignorant to this. Instead you love a judge for what? Doing his job! Being a decent man and human being before he was a judge? Ever thing about that! I doubt it. People have forgotten to value the individual Instead judging them on the uniform they wear first. You see this as a fashion show.

Aww, youtube removed my comment for being way over rational. It's against youtube policy to call out simpletons and stupidity these days. KZbin seems to encourage simple thinking and treats viewers as children or worse, special needs individuals. With a society of violence, disrespect and poor education, youtube is doing its part to make sure america stays this way. 🤣

I guess you didn't bother reading the title of the video. 🤦‍♀️

@@Kōkako-i1t Again you're a snot. Judge Simpson usually has 1 week a month without L/T court, and today was that day this month. It's generally mid-month because it's more pressing to have court closer to end/start of a month.
