Sir, That’s Blood, Not a Bouquet—When Biohazard is a Love Language

[00:00:00]Mr. Gates, you're here because you've been accused of one count of felony battery. There is probable cause for the charge. It's technically a battery, Mr. Gates. It's not your typical felony battery that you think of. Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Mitchell, y'all may have seen the complaint. The allegation is he wiped blood on the mother of his child. That would be a battery, and because he has prior batteries, that would make it a felony battery.

[00:00:21]>> Your honor, we just ask for a reasonable bond. We just request that we hold him for 7 days.

[00:00:26]>> Mr. Gates, I'm going to set you a misdemeanor bond because of the type of battery it is. I think it's technically a battery if what's the what's the latest is true, but your bond's going to be $2,500 cash or surety. But don't try to post it because of you being on probation. They have 7 days to seek a warrant. The judge over there may not sign a warrant. The judge may give you a notice to appear, or the judge may sign a warrant. If they sign a warrant, they'll decide if they're going to put a bond on it or not. So I'll see you in 7 days.

[00:00:53]>> I don't understand how I'm charged with battery and I was assaulted. The complaint said that you and Mr. Castillo got in a argument or a fight. But the allegation against you is that afterwards you went up to the mother of your child and you noticed you bleeding and you wiped some of the blood off of your face on the her face and said, "Here you go." And then allegedly you admitted to that. That is a battery. And you are on probation, so you have reduced rights when you're on probation.

[00:01:17]So right now you got no bond until we see what they do, okay?

[00:01:20]>> So I'm held for 7 days?

[00:01:22]We'll bring you back up as soon as we know that. May see before then, okay?

[00:01:25]Yes, sir. Have a good day.
