Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]disrespecting a female correctional officer by showing her a video that was lewd and sexual in nature. Is that true or not true?

[00:00:09]>> Excuse me, ma'am.

[00:00:10]>> Why'd you just look at her like that right in front of me?

[00:00:12]>> Because I don't see anybody >> Don't uh No, ma'am.

[00:00:19]No one is against him today.

[00:00:22]Don't say another word or you're going to end up in trouble. No one's against you today.

[00:00:28]They're [clears throat] saving you from going to prison today cuz that's what I was probably going to do because you I gave you a specific instruction.

[00:00:37]>> [clears throat] >> Good morning. Are you Keon D. Jackson?

[00:00:40]>> Excuse me, ma'am.

[00:00:40]>> And this is 25 DCCR 0114. Mr. Jackson is charged with engaging in organized criminal activity. Mr. Lewis, what is the announcement?

[00:00:51]>> Well, Judge, this is one that we received in the last setting because he had not been getting his medication, was trying to get that taken care of. Shortly after the setting, he was able to get his medication. He's been on his medication since. And since he's been on the medication, we haven't had any jail write-ups or any issues of what we've previously been seeing before all this started.

[00:01:12]>> Okay.

[00:01:12]>> And uh >> Yeah, I remember. I I did send an email, made a call about that. Okay.

[00:01:16]>> Right.

[00:01:17]>> Okay, so where are we now?

[00:01:18]>> Well, I've talked with the state about the situation and we were in hopes that now since we left, we've got this issue resolved hopefully with this medication, he can go ahead with the with the ISF condition and so that he can continue on. That's That's what this whole came came from that he was >> Oh, this shows sorry, it doesn't show him TRP on here.

[00:01:38]>> Yeah.

[00:01:39]>> Okay, sorry.

[00:01:40]>> No, I'm sorry.

[00:01:41]>> Okay, so We haven't gone through the motion, gotten any pleas on the motion, or anything like that?

[00:02:00]>> No, we we didn't do any of that.

[00:02:01]>> Okay. Ms. Lopez, uh would you raise your right hand, please? Now, do you swear or affirm the testimony you're going to give in this hearing will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Thanks. So, what's your position, I guess?

[00:02:15]>> Well, Your Honor, I would like to point out just a couple of things. Originally, this all uh transpired because he was in the ISF and you had told him to get no further write-ups in the jail. He then received another write-up, and it was um >> Hey.

[00:02:29]>> it was enough for you uh to ask Ms. Warner to specifically uh >> [clears throat] >> request that I file an MTRP. I received an email from her that stated that you specifically sent the report for it to be sent to me. Um and so, that was why the MTRP was filed. Since then, we've had quite a few jail incident reports. I actually went and saw Mr. Jackson out at the jail uh in August uh August 28th [clears throat] of 20 >> Notice what's happening here. This hearing is no longer just about jail write-ups. It's becoming a discussion about accountability versus mental health. The probation officer is acknowledging the recent improvement, but she's also documenting a pattern that can't be ignored. What do you think? Should consistent behavior on medication earn someone another chance, or has too much already happened?

[00:03:14]>> 25, in which I informed him of the MTRP being filed, and I advised him, "Hey, you really need to behave while you're out here, cuz at this point, you are going back in front of your judge."

[00:03:24]And then, it continued. Um now, I understand that since he's been on his medication, he has not had any incidents. Um and so, my request at this point would be that if if the secret to Mr. Jackson behaving is medication, um then I am still in favor of him going to ISF cognitive. However, I would suggest that he be placed on a the mental health initiative caseload, forensic caseload afterwards, because if the only way Mr. Jackson is going to be able to function and behave in society is with mental health medicine. He needs to be on the mental health case load.

[00:03:59]>> Absolutely.

[00:04:00]>> Additionally, however, I say it has to be established that he be on zero tolerance, because if he's acting like this at the jail, I don't need him acting like this in the community.

[00:04:09]>> Agreed.

[00:04:09]>> And then I would also truthfully suggest that once he completes the mental health case load, he then come to the high medium risk case load, because additionally, if he needs all this help in order to behave, he needs to have serious supervision long-term or longer-term. That's not to say that he won't ever end up on a regular felony case load, but if he's having this much trouble behaving in the jail, it tends to say that he needs a little more assistance.

[00:04:37]>> I don't disagree with any of that. Do you, Mr. Lewis?

[00:04:40]>> No, I I I don't judge. Um this was definitely a situation where this is once I was appointed, of course, I had him evaluated to accomplish see and then to the point where when I was realized he hasn't been on any medication the entire time he was on he's been in custody, you know, that you know, that stuck out to me, you know, just the fact that in this short time since he's been on this medication, it's made this difference, then definitely those issues with mental health issues that need to be addressed uh to make sure that uh probation he does get the help he needs in the the proper vehicles to for him to be successful.

[00:05:17]>> What medication uh did they start Mr. Jackson?

[00:05:22]>> I really don't know.

[00:05:24]>> You don't know what it's called?

[00:05:26]>> I don't know.

[00:05:28]>> You take it every day?

[00:05:29]>> Every day.

[00:05:42]>> And when did that start?

[00:05:49]>> I thought it would be About a week or two after the last court date.

[00:05:54]>> Okay.

[00:05:55]>> It was last year, January 6th.

[00:05:56]>> That's what I thought.

[00:05:58]Okay.

[00:05:59]Okay.

[00:06:02]These are all the the last one that I showed is from Christmas, December 25th.

[00:06:07]>> [clears throat] >> Thank you.

[00:06:10]So, then the what I need to figure out then if um there's obviously a motion pending. So, either we go through the motion and I continue him with these I think I'd rather do that than just dismissing the motion with new conditions. I'd rather go ahead and go through the motion, get pleas of true on that.

[00:06:32]I'll agree to what everybody's saying, but I think I want to do it the the more formal way.

[00:06:37]>> Okay.

[00:06:38]>> So, let's go ahead and go through that motion. Mr. Anders, raise your right hand, please. Swear to the best you can.

[00:06:43]Not Mr. Anders, I'm sorry. Mr. um Jackson.

[00:06:46]Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're going to give in this hearing will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

[00:06:51]>> I do.

[00:06:52]>> Okay. You can put your hand down. So, let me get it pulled up here.

[00:07:10]And whenever So, the ISF was just didn't We didn't go through any of this these ever.

[00:07:17]>> No.

[00:07:18]>> No. Okay.

[00:07:19]That was just part of the That was an agreement with regard to admin hearing.

[00:07:27]>> Correct.

[00:07:28]>> Okay. All right. So, one of the conditions of his of his probation order is that he Right.

[00:07:36]So, we never even got ISF, you had issues at the jail. Okay.

[00:07:43]So, you haven't seen the light of day yet.

[00:07:46]>> Mhm.

[00:07:46]>> You ready to?

[00:07:47]>> Mhm.

[00:07:48]>> Okay. Well, we're going to give you the tools to do that, but it's going to be up to you to take advantage of all that, okay?

[00:07:54]>> Mhm.

[00:07:54]>> Um so, you can see by what happened last week, if you ask and say, "Hey, I need something." then a lot of times people can help you. I was Y'all let me know that. I was able to contact the jail.

[00:08:05]Things happen. So, the important thing about all of this when you're on probation, whether you're in jail, whether you're at ISF, or when you get out, hopefully, if you're having things that aren't going right in whatever part of your life, your probation officer is going to be there to help you. They're not trying to revoke you. They're not trying to get you in trouble.

[00:08:24]They don't know if you need something unless you go to them, right?

[00:08:27]>> Mhm.

[00:08:27]>> Okay.

[00:08:28]So, I'm going to go through this motion and and ask you uh for pleas of true or not true to the allegations in the motion. So, in cause number 25 DCCR0114, have a motion to revoke your unadjudicated probation. Shows that you were placed on probation August 5th of 2025 for the offense of engaging in organized criminal activity, and that was a 7-year deferred probation. Is that correct?

[00:08:51]>> That single word, "true", is massive. By admitting the allegation, Camden removes any dispute about what happened.

[00:08:58]Legally, the judge now has enough grounds to revoke probation if she chooses.

[00:09:02]The surprising part, everyone in this courtroom is still looking for a path forward instead of a path to prison.

[00:09:08]Would you have given another chance after hearing that admission?

[00:09:11]>> It alleges that you violated your probation. Count one alleges that you failed to conduct yourself in a courteous and professional manner by disrespecting a female correctional officer by showing her a video that was lewd and sexual in nature. Is that true or not true?

[00:09:30]>> True.

[00:09:30]>> Okay.

[00:09:31]Count [clears throat] two alleges um Count two is really the same.

[00:09:37]Okay.

[00:09:38]All right. So, did you enter your plea of true to count one freely and voluntarily?

[00:09:43]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:09:44]>> And did you plead true because that's actually true?

[00:09:46]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:09:47]>> All right.

[00:09:48]And so, well, let me go through this and then we'll talk about some more. So, I'm going to find count one true, find that you entered that plea freely and voluntarily, find sufficient evidence to find you guilty and revoke your probation, but I'm not going to do that today. I'm [clears throat] going to continue you on probation. You are still ordered as a condition of the probation to enter and successfully complete the ISF program.

[00:10:14]When you're out, you will be on the mental health case case load so that you can get whatever help you need with medication, counseling, whatever it is.

[00:10:22]Once you get through that, you'll be on the high medium case load, which also means you're just going to have to be a little You're going to go more often.

[00:10:29]Probation's going to have more things to help you. It's not meant to be mean or make you go more than other people, but with what you're showing so far, you need this extra help, okay?

[00:10:42]So, if you do all of that, you're still on a deferred probation. You're still not a convicted felon.

[00:10:50]Today, just based on what I told you before about not getting in trouble, I could easily send you to prison for up to 20 years, just like that.

[00:10:59]And I understand that there's some behavioral issues going on, but I don't think any of those behavioral issues had anything to do with what you did to that correctional officer.

[00:11:09]Okay?

[00:11:10]The cutting, uh, maybe the not being quiet, the fighting, all that stuff, maybe there's some issues, but that was a conscious decision that doesn't have anything to do with any other type of mental illness or help that you need to go and show her that. It was just being stupid.

[00:11:28]Right?

[00:11:29]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:11:30]>> So, if you make a choice, that's a choice. That's not something that we're going to blame on anything else.

[00:11:38]I understand some of the other write-ups. That one, I don't buy that that has anything to do with that, right?

[00:11:46]So, if you do anything like that again, and you get in trouble, now that everything's lined out, and you haven't been getting in trouble, if you do, before you go to ISF, we will not be having this conversation again.

[00:11:59]Okay? Same rule applies. It is a condition now of your probation that you not receive an incident report. If you do, we're back in here, and I don't care what anybody says. You're going to end up in prison. You've got family, nobody wants this to happen, but [clears throat] it's 100% up to you at this point, okay?

[00:12:20]Um >> [clears throat] >> if you get to ISF, and you don't follow the rules in ISF, and get in trouble there, same thing. That's a condition of your probation is that you act right in ISF as well, okay?

[00:12:32]All right. So, anything else?

[00:12:34]>> Zero tolerance.

[00:12:35]>> And you'll be on zero tolerance, which means really everybody should be on zero tolerance when they're on probation, but when you're actually on what we call zero tolerance, it means you cannot make any mistakes. You're being given a huge opportunity to change your life, make better decisions.

[00:12:51]>> This may be the most important moment of the entire hearing. The judge is drawing a sharp line between behavior caused by mental health struggles and choices that require personal responsibility. And then, almost immediately, she catches his courtroom behavior again.

[00:13:05]Talk about bad timing. With a potential 20-year sentence hanging over him, do you think this warning finally got through?

[00:13:11]>> This is just going to be up to you to do that. If you don't, it's not going to be, "Well, this is a one-time mess up, give me another opportunity." Zero tolerance means you don't get another opportunity, okay?

[00:13:22]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:13:23]>> Why'd you just look at her like that right in front of me?

[00:13:25]>> I didn't know you could see it against the >> Don't uh No, ma'am.

[00:13:32]No one is against him today.

[00:13:35]Don't say another word or you're going to end up in trouble. No one's against you today.

[00:13:41]They're [clears throat] saving you from going to prison today cuz that's what I was probably going to do because you I gave you a specific instruction.

[00:13:51]And you disregarded that instruction and I don't think it has anything to do with mental illness that you're showing ladies videos that are inappropriate in the jail.

[00:14:04]Nobody made you do that. She didn't make you do that. I didn't make you do that.

[00:14:11]Do you understand?

[00:14:12]This is personal responsibility.

[00:14:14]It's time for you to take personal responsibility and it's time for you to make him take personal responsibility and quit blaming other people for what he's doing.

[00:14:24]That's what you said. I heard. So, just hang on. Hang on. Don't don't talk anymore. It's not going to help anything.

[00:14:31]You're receiving a huge chance today.

[00:14:36]And it's because of probation that you're getting that opportunity.

[00:14:41]Okay?

[00:14:42]So, you remember that. It's because of them that you're getting this opportunity.

[00:14:48]Okay?

[00:14:49]Go back with the bailiff.
