JUST ANOTHER RANDOM DAY in JUDGE SIMPSONS COURT...part two the finale...

This is part two of a roughly 5 hour session i have edited down to make this more watchable for the average viewer...the variety of cases intermingled with judge Simpsons humor is informative, uplifting and entertaining to watch. The bulk of this video is an emotional, thought provoking probation revocation hearing…
This remix is intended to provide better insight into how our courts and the folks who run them administer justice to the public they serve. Remember they have to deal with folks who are often having their worst day on a daily basis.

So nice. It was also nice that he's through a child in foster care because a new mother didn't bend over and kissed the feet of the American justice system. Such a great judge. He can go home and pat himself on the back in his half a million dollar home driving his $100,000 vehicle to get there.

Concerning MS Ogden, it's important to keep in mind that people take the time, make the effort and sacrifice to try and do what is most important to them in their life. So she didn't have the money or transportation to start on the requirements of her probation. However, she was able to get transportation to a doctor, the money to pay the doctor, to get a medical marijuana card. She is also able to get the transportation, and the money, to get to marijuana. It's easy to see what's important to her.

[@OSGCourtWatch]

@Les Cook you wrote the exact same opinion I have. I am a 67 year old dude, and I can say I too had plenty of times and reasons in these long years to pick up the bottle and drown my sorrows in booze (drugs in MS Ogden's case) . I did not, because it was clear to me from my early 20 that when I sober up (after I would get stoned) these problems would still be around. Unfortunately not all people think like that.

Exactly. If that is a guy making the same kind of plea, he doesn’t get a second look. She deserved the same level of justice. She didn’t complete a single aspect of the terms of her probation. I’m sure a friend or family member would have arranged transportation if it meant keeping her out of jail she just didn’t try. There’s no question she’s still actively using and I’ll bet it’s more than just marijuana. The whole “medical marijuana” defense is pure bullshit. They hand out medical marijuana cards like candy these days. All you have to do is state that you have high stress levels and they’ll give you one. She just likes to smoke pot and doesn’t want to quit. She knew she’d fail the drug screen so she just didn’t show up. Jail time is the only thing that will wake her up at this point.

[@gracesiegel7849]

The first guy seemed really solid. He made mistakes when he was younger but from what he said the last felony he got was 15 years ago and he went up in front of Judge Simpson who held him accountable. His communication/greeting seemed a little casual to me, but Judge Simpson didn’t correct him in which speaks volumes both about Judge Simpson and presumably the strides that that man made. Judge Simpson is compassionate and humorous we are possible but, as we saw with that lady, is willing to throw down when necessary. I totally agree with you that she was likely trying to use her baby to manipulate the court and get mercy. But to me it just illustrated her incompetence, the baby she’s holding likely took roughly 9 months to make. If she could make a baby in nine months, It’s more than enough time to make some progress on the probation requirements. As judge Simpson said, Plenty of people have issues with probation requirements, but they deal with them with the court/probation officer and go forward from there. This lady did none of those things took minimal to no responsibility and weep for her children and feel so bad for her poor attorney

10:25 And the Amber Heard awful court acting award goes to Caitlin Ogden.

[@aeromedical6776]

Yup. Basically “I know I did nothing in terms of following my probation, but I cry really good and I have my baby with me so cut me a break!” If the judge would have showed pity and allowed her to remain free on probation, in 30 days she would still have done ZERO and been turning on the waterworks again.

[@TwoBs]

Ms. Laraway was a good example of someone who probably would have ended up on a channel like this with the actions that landed her in jail and Judge Simpson giving her a chance where she failed to comply, but ultimately being able to appear at a much later date admitting their faults, mending relationships, understanding the Judge’s orders, and taking enormous steps to get their life back on track to do better to where he basically says in his roundabout way that he’s proud of her... I know this is an older video, but I hope she’s continued to do well. Moments like that is what makes Simpson among the best. I showed my husband a few vids with him in it, and he was surprised at how cool, calm, and collected he was while being both stern and compassionate. We don’t often see that, and there’s a reason he’s so cherished in these little communities lol. They are all lucky people to be before him. Maybe not lucky in the sense that they’ve made horrible choices in life that had them end up there, but lucky that they have someone like him that takes their role very serious for the benefit of others.

[@jaylee9552]

14:00 the look on that judges face just screms "I hate it when they start crying"

[@brendakopsa]

I appreciate watching a Judge that is real and keeps it real with everyone who appear before him. If he could teach future judges I really believe it could make a huge difference.

[@kerbyfab]

Lady, put the baby down and stop using them to attempt to sway the court’s opinion. You have failed as a mother, you have failed in society, and now you must pay with your freedom. You leave the courts no other options. These people are amazing… she’ll be screaming “I’m a victim of the system” shortly. 🙄🤮

[@johnmcneece4321]

That was my thoughts about it. She was using the baby to try to get sympathy from the judge.

[@jennifergoodland561]

Addicts don’t realize the difference between advocacy and manipulation. “Somehow everything got a mess” and no personal responsibility. She says she’s sorry, but goes on with a narrative that doesn’t show any sense of responsibility or improvement, just spiraling. I don’t know what kinds of programs are available in the correctional system in this district, but ideally addicts should be able to get clean, get space away from their responsibilities, and then slowly learn to build a constructive life. I hope that for her.

I have zero sympathy for Caitlin. However, my heart breaks for her kids. She has to be the one to break the cycle. She was being highly manipulative to have her baby on her lap during court like that.

[@cristineconnell7803]

So sorry for this guys loss, good on him for working to turn it around! Caitlin has issues & is using that poor baby as a shield! I am disgusted, prayers for that poor child! You don't hold them & stomp & bawl for court! Get a babysitter or arrange it around nap time! Baby is picking up all those emotions straight from Momma & her bad choices! Grrr

[@IntrovertedArteest]

22:00 Poor PD is grasping at literal air trying to defend his client!! Also that probation agent plays no games! 🤣

[@SympleMynd]

I'm curious if the woman with the baby showed up at the jail on time that day. She obviously didn't believe the judge would actually do what he did, so I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't test him on that 6:00 pm deadline.

[@renaeadams7868]

I think she Needs checked for PPD... She's emotional mess & @ least needs looked into b4 she has to face the consequences. Sadly broken😢 however she's lucky it's been lowered from a felony. As Felony consequences are worse.

[@billygowhoop]

I kinda' doubt it. If you watch her when the judge is passing sentence, it looks like she's saying "I can't" and keeps shaking her head.

[@MortgageGirl7]

@@billygowhoop we definitely need a follow up. Did anyone expect to here 365days!!! How did that not scare her into following the probation. I am so thankful her baby is healthy!!! Because she avoided the drug test fir last 9mo! Her baby looks to be 5 mo old. I pray she has healthy family member who will watch her child. I hope she turned herself in on time because I know judge Simpson has a big heart and would significantly cut the time down. I’m shocked she thought tears would dig her out. I really hope she makes better decisions and grows from here. That was a tough one to watch.

[@suzzzzzzzzzz]

It says she was booked into jail at 7:06 pm on April 13th. So it seems as if she may have actually followed the orders and shown up at the right time. Although- I’m not sure of the date of the KZbin video.

WOW! The first case with Shawnte Taylor? That literally brought tears to my eyes when he waived that young man's total bill. That was AWESOME!!! I just LOVE watches Judge Simpson.

[@jeffingram9916]

What a collection of misfits in most of these court videos! Most of these people are their own worst enemy. The courts give them multiple opportunities to straighten out their lives and the majority just keep screwing up. Our legal system spends unbelievable amounts of time on these people and so much of the time and effort is wasted. Reminds me of the prodigal son of the Bible. So few seem to appreciate what is done for them.

[@JacaboBlanco]

39:00 man this entire video was a banger. Was this all in a single day of his court? Love when he goes on these sentimental tangents. He's the best.

[@iamskippy]

_”Sentimental tangents”_ is a great way of saying it! A Judge who cares as much about people as he does, adds comments lesser judges wouldn’t bother including because they would sentence immediately and not think deeper than the least effort / time they’d need to spend on them.

[@BoHolbo]

All respect to James Hendee! Sometimes you get a lot more help than you deserve, and this senior citizen is the reason why I still have faith in the U.S!

[@mickyparker3949]

Judge Simpson, you are one hell of a judge that takes care of the right people you know that are going in the right way as improving their lives. And you give them the confidence in most, to sort their lives out. God bless you Sir.

She definitely has the baby for sympathy smh it's just, sad poor baby. I hope she has a family to take care of the baby.

[@kkelsey8811]

I still say this is one of the best judges ever. EVER. My PO gave me an mpr for not providing proof of employment. What I did provide was proof that I had broken my c8 vertebrea and had to have surgery so I couldn't work. Still had me picked up and thrown in jail while recovering from vertebrea fusion and disc replacement. I had all my community service done and all my fines paid to 0. When I finally got my day in court (30 days later) they cut me loose, nuked my probation and the charge and wrote me a check for completing probation early. And this girls crying. Holy crap

[@freeman0048]

I dunno what judge gets paid but it's prob not enough. The po's and attorneys in this court do great jobs as well.

[@Finderskeepers.]

The carrot and stick method works. I hope the Judge enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing a guy come good. Great administration of justice giving him a break on the $280, its the outcome that is important which is someone being responsible. GL to Mr Taylor and Judge Simpson.

Just returned from a civil court hearing in UK. You are so lucky over there. Our judges are feudal barons regretting the loss of droit de seigneur while yours are like the kindest and wisest of elders

[@Travisrogers87]

That PD was throwing his client under the bus left and right. The things he was saying weren’t wrong, but his advice and the whole “I told you so” attitude isn’t something you tell them in front of the judge. It only makes the client look worse.

[@catbyte0679]

Nothing that attprney could've said would have made her look better. He was just telling the truth. You can't lie in court and the truth is she did nothing to mitigate her case. The only thing he could do was beg for mercy for his client and he did. He had nothing to work with.

[@peggybaby0894]

I am so glad she did not cry her way out.

[@loisbolton1800]

Thank you for that. It was a lot of work on your part to bring us a story in two contrasting parts, perhaps exemplifying a ‘before’ and an ‘after.’ Much appreciated OSG. 💖

[@serialshagster6651]

I can't stand someone who weaponizes their emotions! It's manipulation as a goal...Just be sincere and people will see the sincerity. When you are insincere, it's so easy to see the manipulation. She doesn't deserve for people to bend over backwards for her when she can't even do the bare minimum. BTW, I love this public defender. He really tries to keep his client's from hurting themselves. Torchio Feaster is awesome also!

For all the times Judge Simpson get irritated (and rightfully so), he sure does seem like he actually ENJOYS his job. That is nice to see in the criminal justice system- someone who is real, knows when to cut a break and when to bring the hammer and does it with a smile and a great attitude. God Bless 🥰
