I raised 3 sons. They were living with me at 18 but they still had a curfew and knew they'd be in big trouble if they broke it! And I raised them alone, after divorcing their alcoholic father. They never got in any trouble and are now successful men with families of their own. I don't buy any of this guy's or his mom's excuses

My parents gifted me with free room and board while I commuted to college daily as a full time student, while working around 30 hours a week in order to pay my own tuition. Even during my Senior year of college, if I was out with friends and it got late, I'd still call my mom to let her know where I was and what my plans were (either an estimate of when I'd be home, or to let her know I was going to sack out where I was). Hell, sometimes one of my friends would make the call, just because they all knew she deserved better than to be wondering where I was when I'd be home! ;)

This “single mother” narrative needs to be dropped. My dad died when I was a kid. My single mom raised 4 kids. Now those kids are a lawyer, a professional ballerina, a PhD economist, and a nurse. Single mom’s aren’t necessarily raising criminals.

[@nepenthe_gal759]

I am so tired of the 'I'm a single mom' excuse. There are only 3 excuses for being a 'single mom'....#1. You're a widow #2. You are divorced or #3. You chose to have children, without the benefit of a husband, or any type of a father-figure for the kids, so you CANNOT whine about how 'difficult' it is to be a 'single mom'.

Outstanding judge. She didn't let the infant be used as a tool to manipulate the court into a get out of jail free card.

[@trs-80fanclub12]

The part I dont get, although the Dude deserves this, I still would assume impact questions like those from the judge should never be asked by the judge unless its a balanced question. This Judge however, shows serious Bias by asking relevant damming factual questions FOR the prosecutor. Thats the Prosecutors job by design. The judge should ALWAYS show balance and blindness absorbing all the facts and not practicing a lawyers job. She is begging for a ruling overturned and bar violations IMO Context: During a trial, judges are presented with evidence; they may ask for additional or other evidence, they may judge evidence as inadmissible, or they may decide to give more (or less) weight to certain pieces of evidence. But here, she (the Judge) was asking relevant Evidencable Questions, and not allowing the opportunity for the Prosecutor. I highly doubt that many people under her rule are given a balanced trial given her approach. Such tasks in the hearing process might be affected by several cognitive biases including the confirmation bias, the hindsight bias, or the conjunction fallacy.

[@CourtCamTV911]

@@trs-80fanclub12 You're thinking about jury trials where it's critical to be impartial. When it's a bench trial or plea deal, the judges are allowed to ask pointed questions to witnesses and lawyers as they'll be deciding , not a jury. She has read up on the case and formed her opinions, and she's giving them a final chance to prove why she'll be wrong to rule against them. It'll be worse if she ruled without giving them a chance to defend themselves.

He uses his grandfather death, which he claims was devastating for him, emotionally...as he claims his grand-dad was his only father figure...yet, rather than honoring his grand-dad's memory and go through life doing the right thing, he uses the death as one of the reasons to do what he did.

[@Lokisdottir1964]

A close friend of mine had been a car repossessor. He said they were always required to open the glove box and trunk and take an inventory of what was in the car. He opened the trunk of one he'd repossessed near Christmas and it was filled with Christmas presents. He took all the presents and went back to the house and left them on the porch, rang the doorbell and left. He quit his job the next day. He was doing a legitimate job but felt horrible enough about this incident to quit. This kid did not even think about anything before he did what he did - he just acted on impulse and now is paying the price for it.

She doesn’t play that game.

[@reginaodell3035]

With probation cases, she takes into account if the person is trying to take steps to improve. If the person is taking classes, working to get off drugs, improve the family or following probation requirements, she gives them the help they need to improve. If the person ignores the requirement, lies to the court, continuing drug use, makes excuses and further breaks the law, she gives them jail time. I think that is why she is a great judge, she wants people to improve but recognizes that some just are going to break the law. She give parameters that allow people to get their lives back together but people do need to take steps.

"I'm not a criminal"... Said every criminal hoping to get off easy. >.> We all know that if things were different they would have stolen the pressies, sold them on for cash or drugs and then done it again next time opportunity came up. He can lie to himself if he wants... He **IS** a criminal and he knows it. The only problem is that someone got shot and then they got caught.

[@nepenthe_gal759]

I had a rough childhood too....I had to fly commercial INSTEAD of in a private jet. I do not know how I ever survived the taunts of my school mates.

[@alionline83]

Judge is just magnificent. Her composure is remarkable

[@bbsteele671]

The crying kills me everytime knowing this judge always sees right through it lol

[@mpayne8206]

34:49 and after you see who he really is. He sheds his sympathy face once the decision is made.

[@gailwhite8361]

Well said I noticed that he went back to gangsta face fake as hell.👏👏👏

[@skyeblue5669]

Mom didn't know where her under age son was on Christmas night BECAUSE she was probably DRUNK or HIGH..🍭

[@vivaldi1948]

The judge balances justice with compassion.

[@josephrobichaud5198]

Who needs a father to know right from wrong!

[@jacklow9611]

Isn't that the mother's job too?

[@itzjess88]

My mother abandoned me and my dad raised me alone. i still showed my asz because i wanted to be that person. May be some other issue but i won't blame them for my actions.

[@derekburr6761]

She plucked his Ace card and dropped it on the floor. Compassionately handed him 8yrs with wisdom and accountability. She don't play.

[@martierickson7937]

I love that this judge takes the victim into account when sentencing, most courts forget them. He was shot by his brother and expects sympathy????

[@Letsdolunch2023]

YES!!!!! He gets 8 years!! Maybe he will come out a better person but that is highly doubtful due to who his mother is.

[@marysmith-xo7rt]

Exactly

[@luisaviggiani8188]

I just knew she was going to give him jail, that was a nasty crime and his defence had nothing to go on and he was genuinely surprised when got sentenced!

[@sharky2105]

he got off too easy. When I think of all the fear, anger, mistrust and pain this man has caused it is hard to imagine that he deserves freedom.

[@paris6378]

His girl truly needed to stay at home with the baby and I agree with the judge. Wow!

[@luigi57968]

@paris6378 They 100% brought the baby for show and tell. They mentioned a Uncle, possibly even Two (unless that was the same one) and a Aunt just on his side of the family. So unless his girlfriend is little orphan Annie, that's at least 2 to 3 people that could have watched the baby!

[@LadyDi0514]

You’ve just gotta love this judge for her wisdom and strength.

[@LisaD007]

I love how the judge always refers to her mother and her grandmother. These lovely women in her life are the wisest women and have brought her so much wisdom. That is so obvious and it is a beautiful thing to see.

[@JacquelineSwaimBrown]

You see a glimpse of his anger as soon as he sees he’s going to prison! If he’d really been sorry he’d have cared about the victims instead of acting like he was the victim because his brother shot him!! It was only after the judge brought it up he wanted to apologize! He needs time to be punished and hopefully classes that will help him when he gets out

[@Vincenza8907]

I didn't even think about the fact that he knew prison was a possibility when he got together with the baby mama, and then she got pregnant.

[@DBZluvz]

i did the same thing (rob people's cars) when i was a teenager and a whole lot more but my mom never made excuses for me, she still loved me but i had to answer for what i did. i spent a long time in juvenile detention centers, i don't deny my past or make excuses for it but i was held responsible for what i did and i grew up and i'm 41 now and i haven't been in trouble since i was 19. people make mistakes but that isn't the problem...... the problem is no one these days wants to own their actions and answer for them. you want to be treated like your grown then act like it! take responsibility for what you do and you will learn and grow and...... hopefully be better person for it!

[@eyeofthescar6890]

The look on her face while he babbles😂

[@nicolebrown1927]

Chiiillle, she had me weeeak!🤣

[@monicadonnelly4991]

Her face is easy to read

[@dappyfull]

She was like "Just be done flapping your gums already so I can send you to the slammer" 😅

[@crescentmoonchild4031]

I am a single mom I raised both my children and especially my son with my elderly dad as the only father figure and He is a fine upstanding young man that has never given me a moment’s problem. It can be done and this is just excuses

[@mistermilkman]

"I didn't have a father figure." Sounds like he knew better & doesn't want 2 deal with the consequences.

[@charliewynn3210]

I feel like no father figure would be better than this guy

[@Hellionis]

He has Anxiety disorder, but felt calm enough to be activly involved in stealing things from others? Lots of people dont have a father figure growing up but they still know right from wrong.

[@amywade4035]

oooh eeeh i would not wanna go up against her, this judge means business

[@lmarie711]

Everyone is sorry when they get caught and have to face the music. Honestly don't care if he has a girlfriend or a kid, he deserves to go to jail. This entire family is messed up and they only care for themselves, and maybe their family IF it's convenient and can possibly get them out of trouble.

[@josephrobichaud5198]

Why do woman settle for people like this!!

[@Lokisdottir1964]

I think he said he didn't tell his girlfriend until after she got pregnant but I may be mistaken.

[@pamelalansbury94]

This guy has been told he’s the #1 man in everyone’s life his entire life. His whole speech is “me me me, i was mistreated so I shouldn’t be taken away from my daughter because I grew up without a dad and my grampa died, did I mention I didn’t have a dad??” When asked how he’ll take care of his daughter all he can say is “I’ll be there for her because I didn’t have a dad”. No actual job plans.

[@gtrevino50]

Some of those Detroit judges could take a lesson or two from this judge.

[@marysmith-xo7rt]

Every judge in Michigan

Six kids and a single mom.. seems like she made some bad choices.

[@mikepearson9983]

Women know it all

[@vwboymom85]

Prosecution coming out swinging with the STRAIGHT facts in the cross examination! This mother is a big part of the reason why two of her children are criminals. She set the course for her children to make decisions this awful. There is no excuse for stealing someone's Christmas gifts.

[@basilfromeen]

Tough guy ain't so tough after all. Got to love the performance from mom and him. Your honor I have anxiety 😢😢😢. Great example for his daughter. He's pathetic. Stand like a man and take your beat down.

[@kc-lp6wg]

"You'll want to take some deep breaths". Hands him tissues.

[@jinov191]

It appears that he only has anxiety when he is being held responsible for his criminal actions

[@gailwhite8361]

What a great Judge when she mentioned when mothers have the chose to choose Children or a Man the chose the man every time !! She didn't know were her children were on Christmas day sorry excuse for a Mother and the judge saw it.

[@mphillips]

What a great guy she lived with--she lost custody of two children!!

[@rckkeller9437]

She could have left her abusive partner and spared her children from further trauma being taken from the mother.

[@snooganslestat2030]

​@@rckkeller9437Exactly. Sick of this being acceptable.

[@MyMelinaaa]

My mother was a schizophrenic im thr youngest of 5 kids and we grew up with nothing but hard times...none of us ever hurt anyone robbed anyone or did anything illegal..🤦 unless its trauma we gotta stop blaming out upbringing for bad choices when we know better...smh

By the expression on the judge's face, I almost expected her to fall out laughing at him as he gave his testimony. I bet she’s heard enough bs outta these people to last her a lifetime! She should write a book...
