Defendants Saying The Wrong Things!

[@user60521123]

It doesn’t get anymore real than Judge Bryant. “I’ll put it on pause and drive down there”.

[@felistine]

Equivalent of “ don’t make me pull over”. That my parent used to say. 😂

[@firstnamekaty8830]

I love Judge Bryant! She takes absolutely no BS from anybody and I love it😂

[@cymphonicinc.3995]

I love her too and Janice Steven-Son who's expression is always the same; I love how she speaks to her clients and how she speaks to the court. I believe she is true to what we see in the courtroom. I don't know how she handles her caseload so well. I love her too!

[@chickenfriedrice4098]

Public Defenders be like: "Your honor, my client has admitted to killing and dismembering 3 dozen children but he's starting a new job next week and putting him in jail might jeopardize him being selected as employee of the month, so if you could just let him off this one time......".

[@MsShandy111]

It’s their job. Everyone wants to roast them for using what little good argument their clients give them.

[@KendraAndTheLaw]

[@cmotherofpirl]

I think you missed the best part of the Judge Bryant hearing. After the judge fierce part, the defendant broke down, and started talking about how he had been shot, and his wife was murdered? and his lack of coping. Bryant instantaneously switched into Judge Compassionate, and while she sentenced him, made sure he was going to get grief counseling and help. It was Bryant finest moment.

[@judeiz2203]

Yes, it was a fine video.

[@Ms.B.Warren]

I agree

[@elijahishere]

Yes! He was very apologetic and he and Judge Bryant even laughed together. He also seemed really receptive to grief counseling. I hope things get better for him.

[@MrsKravitzz]

At first I thought ticketing for driving 5 miles over the speed limit seemed petty but listening to the trooper testify he was driving 20 over the limit and he wrote him for 5 is a kindness. Love the “ car did it on it’s own” defense is crazy. Classic case of no good deed goes unpunished.

[@WilliamTaylorIII]

I believe even if he was really 20 over on a clear road if he had NOT been an @$$hat to the Cop he would have been checked out and if nothing came up he would have been told slow down and no ticket.

[@marysmith-xo7rt]

Omg I’m so sick and tired of these scary creeps acting like morons. Look at this guy on the ground

[@nowasiwassaying...1699]

[@pigpink1971]

COPS didn't inform him that the speed limit isn't 5 miles over the posted speed limit.

[@rickrobinson1248]

OMG! Just how dumb can dumb get?

[@PhysicsGamer]

That's a very, very longstanding urban legend, for lack of a better term. It _can_ theoretically happen - you can be given a general "unsafe driving" citation in most (?) places if you're driving in such a way as to be a hazard to others on the road, and that can involve going too slowly in the right/wrong conditions. Granted, that's probably more _stopped_ _on_ _the_ _highway_ than _five_ _under_ _the_ _limit..._

[@rebeccaford5397]

The officer’s facial expressions when Cody was all telling his car drama. Lips pursed. He wants to just scream into the void. 😂 LOL

[@grammar4341]

I had just gotten a new car back in 1994. I was driving it home after picking it up in another state. I was as stopped for speeding in North Dakota. When the officer asked if I knew how fast I was going, my reply was “Hopefully 75 because that’s what I have my cruise control set at”. That’s what he clocked me at so I found out my speedometer worked. He actually laughed at my honest answer and ended up just writing me a warning.

[@DebraJean196]

When I was moving into my college dorm my dad was driving a friend’s pickup truck that had oversized tires on it. He didn’t realize it would make the speedometer read low. Until he got pulled over by the trooper for going 15+ over the speed limit. The trooper was bored so helped my dad play with the truck (the fact that he NEVER had a ticket of any kind in over 50 years of driving might have helped lol) and the trooper proved to my dad the speedometer was wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my dad so embarrassed in my life. It was pretty funny!

[@lisajeter9511]

They always ask that so they can use it against you in court. So you should always play dumb!

[@aliciacarstensen7904]

I was caught going 93 mph in a 55 mph zone. When he asked why I was going so fast in heavy traffic. I said I like my fast powerful car. Any other reason? Yeah I'm stupid. He laughed and appreciated my honesty. If you feel you have to lie it's because you know you're wrong. Accept your lumps when you need to and don't be a dishonest dirtbag like everybody else in the courts and even youtubers trying to give us all legal advice to be dirtbags with an angel😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@billygowhoop]

​@@Mikki44these days, they drive Altimas.

[@pamcn123]

Actually, if you listen to the guy who wanted a court appointed attorney, he was NOT asking for a free attorney. He thought "court appointed attorney" meant that the court would give him the name of an attorney that he would then pay for. He was hoping not to have to go out and find one himself, just hire the one the court suggested/appointed.

[@perryrush6563]

That's how I would feel about it. I hate trying to pick something when I have zero frame of reference

[@ClearwaterKB]

That is exactly how I took it as well.

[@angeliqueoren2462]

He was lying under oath to flex. These are not difficult questions. What is your income? How much money do you have available in a bank etc.. Do you own any assets, like a home or car? Own, not paying on! He stated he owned his house and car! He stated his car is worth $20,000.00 He stated he had $70,000.00 available cash. Then he got called out and changed his $70,000.00 to his income level. Go ahead ask yourself these difficult questions and explain to me how he just wanted a list of attorneys. If he just didn't understand how you get an attorney then why did he change all the answers to these basic questions????? Are you his mom?

[@willatwood]

@@angeliqueoren2462 that may be true, but I believe the judge let it slide because he ended it with the statement that he thought he was going to pay the attorney fees to whatever attorney the court appointed him and not be represented for free. Idk if he said it to make up for the precious flex since he also stated that he would be paying at some point after the case went to trial, but it sways more towards him wanting the court to appoint an attorney and he'd be paying that attorney and not looking for a free one. He did give testify that he has money in crypto and has multiple accounts making money and may have to answer to the IRS since they are cracking down on taxing gains on crypto and taxing when you try to sell and take the money out.

[@markieffmorris9263]

The premise that he could afford a lawyer is highly dubious

[@philipinchina]

Good stuff as always, Mike. I am just sorry I missed you live.

[@jimmymoore8081]

When you flex yourself right out of that attorney. He doesn’t need everyone else to pay for his lawyer

60 in a 55, geesh tough crowd...I know you wrote me for 5 over, but I believe i was going 63. Genius

[@judeiz2203]

Using Cody's logic of always going 5-10 miles over the speed limit he surely should have gotten many MORE TICKETS! 😮

[@theshadowbehindyou9631]

Actually most states and courts 5 mph over is usually no ticket or it will be thrown out of court. Reason being is they leave a little wriggle room for variances in the speedometers.

[@jamesplymire5342]

​@@theshadowbehindyou9631It wouldn't be thrown out. The officer gives wiggle room when doing radar. If he writes you a ticket, it gets paid, or you fight it in court. 1 mph over the speed limit is still speeding.

[@rotwiler7674]

still he admitted he was going 63, ticket was for 60(5 over) doh

[@jennifermiller1042]

I got a ticket when I was 19. The judge sent me to traffic school instead of ordering fines. My instructor told us we were totally cool to go 10 MPH over 😂😂😂

[@shotforshot5983]

Driving instructor is "comedy movie trope" job that requires virtually no qualifications lol. (And a cute 19 year old might get told what she wants to hear☺)

[@chasbo25]

When my kids started driving I asked my insurace guy what I should tell them about speeding on the freeway, becasue nobody was going the speed limit. He said tell them the cops told him "9 your're fine 10 you're mine" But not in town, he said don't speed in town, it's a money maker for the town.

[@marshabrown9263]

I asked a police officer what over gets you pulled and he said if the cop is a jerk he will pull you over for five but ten is what definitely gets you pulled over.

[@andrewvelonis5940]

In the town I live in there is a school zone where the limit is 20. When going through that area, I always go 20. Not for the sake of avoiding a ticket, as I rarely if ever see cops in that area and in 30 years I don't recall seeing someone pulled over there, I drive the school zone limit out of respect for the community. It drives the people in back of me crazy, but I don't care, they can slow down for a half mile.

[@nancygodsey8312]

It's for the safety of the children as they go to and from school.

[@justsayin1991]

I don't think the second guy is actually on the floor. It does kind of look like that. But I think he's actually like standing up against the side of a house or something and has the camera down around his stomach, looking up. We can see the wall he's leaning on and a small portion of the lip of the roof above his head. I hope that makes sense!

[@indianaslim4971]

[@kellyc2425]

He's on the floor. You can tell by his respirations.

[@CarlaHanson68]

I agree, I don't think he's on the floor. It looks like stucco siding on a house and above him looks the the overhang of the roof and a light fixture. 🤷

[@shotforshot5983]

Yeah, concrete textured with pebbles.

[@ClearwaterKB]

​@Indiana Slim he is standing against a pebbled exterior wall. There is soffit, soffit venting and sky above him. It is an optical illusion from the paint and wall color. Who can lay on their back with their head like that, unsupported, for all that time, no one. The neck is designed to hold the head upright while standing and the strain to hold it at 45 degrees that long would be problematic.

[@johnboy4014]

I don't know but as soon as the guy in the second clip (cain) took the oath and then looked away while he was saying 'I do' made me think he was telling porkies

[@rickrobinson1248]

Just HOW DEEP does he really intend to dig?

[@paulesterline5714]

WOW I have never seen someone denied an attorney! But I wouldn't give him one either. All he needs to do is take out a small mortgage to pay for his attorney.

[@lisawatson9570]

Mortgage? You mean a loan? A mortgage is your house payment. 😊😉

[@lisawatson9570]

Mortgage? You mean a loan? A mortgage is your house payment. 😊😉

[@JonathanLandon]

A mortgage is a loan that is secured by a lien against real property (land and buildings). So, yes, the loan that you use to buy your house is a mortgage, but it is possible to mortgage a property you have previously paid off, or to get a second mortgage before you have paid off the first. A second mortgage is secured by the equity in your property... the difference between what it's worth and what you owe on the first mortgage. So yeah, you could get a mortgage for cash to pay a lawyer, giving the lender a lien on your property to ensure that you will pay the lender. ​@lisawatson9570

I was on a 6.5 hour road trip with a friend. I was driving his car (his mom’s old Buick) which had both a broken speedometer & gas gauge. I made sure not to be the fastest car on the highway. Got pulled over on the way home & was sure I was getting a speeding ticket. Turns out I was pulled over for “following too close to the car ahead of me.” Cop told me that I should never be “closer than the length of a football field” to the car in front of me. WTF! I remember in driving school we were told “one car length for every 10 mph.” Good news is the cop was cool, and just advised me to keep a safer distance. 👍👍

I like Judge Bryant. She takes no crap at all in court. She will have respect. The defendant will be respectful. Plus Judge Bryant comes from the life of hard knocks, having once been homeless. Judge Bryant is a magnificent, wise, and fair judge, and has been in dire situations herself. And yes, she has compassion and empathy. What better person to be a Judge? Any defendant that is respectful to Judge Bryant will find that she will always give the same respect back, and she will understand defendants situations. However, if you upset Judge Bryant or lie she will make it her personal duty to sort you out period. Good on Judge Bryant for that. That's the sort of Judge I like. She will call every defendants bluff when they spin out BS and lies. Advice? Come to Judge Bryant's 36th Court in person.....and bring a big bag of Lays potato chips and chocolates! You will be in Judge Bryant's good books straight away!!
