Judge Michael K. McNally demonstrates a judicial philosophy that emphasizes personal accountability, honesty, and rehabilitation in criminal cases. He consistently warns defendants about the consequences of their actions, particularly regarding addiction and dishonesty, while offering opportunities for rehabilitation through probation and sobriety court programs. The judge's approach balances strict enforcement of court rules with compassion for those seeking recovery, as evidenced by his dismissal of charges when defendants demonstrate genuine remorse and compliance, and his willingness to give extensions for payment when defendants face financial hardship. His most memorable statement, 'You got 50 years ahead of you… or 50 hours,' underscores the importance of making positive choices and taking responsibility for one's actions.

But I need to read this uh to you because I'm not going to conceal anything obviously.
He just asked who it may concern.
>> What? Who am I hearing right now?
Heather, can you tell me?
>> I I believe it's the jail background noise.
>> Okay, I'll keep my voice up nice and loud.
>> I am writing to you as a sole legal property owner of the residence located at 30,01 Meadows Drive, Rockwood, Michigan 48173.
I'm aware that the defendant, Summer Great House, is currently serving a jail sentence under your jurisdiction and has an upcoming court hearing. Please be formally advised of the following. One, no consent for tether/ ankle monitor location. I do not consent to my property being used as a designated residence, base station location, or monitoring site for any court-ordered electronic tether, scram device, GPS tracker, or house arrest equipment. Two, revocation of residency effected immediately. Summer great house does permission to reside at, enter, or visit my property. Her residency privileges have been fully and permanently revoked.
Formal eviction papers are currently being processed. Safety and security.
That's number three. For safety and privacy reasons, she will be barred from the premises. Immediately upon her release from the Wayne County Jail for clarification of file custody, rebuke of fraudulent claims. I am aware of the defendant's history of perjury and manipulation before this court specifically during her prior bond violation hearing. She may attempt a claim or immediate release is necessary for child care. the children are completely safe, stable, and cared for in my custody or claims of child care hardship are entirely false. Because an alternative housing plan will be required for probation or tether compliance, I am notifying the court and the probation department in advance of a hearing so that the defense council, Mr. Longton, can arrange an alternative location such as a residential facility, shelter, or different address that does not involve my property. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter and for ensuring this notice is placed directly in in her official case file respectfully submitted. Harrison Steves.
So with that, >> I respond to that.
>> You can respond whatever you want. I >> There's a lot of false in there.
>> Hang on a second. Hang on.
>> You I you asked for a hearing. You filed motion. I don't quite understand this.
Let's go quite forth on it. that the court opined on the record that the defendant had violated her bond provisions by working in a restaurant that serves alcohol and not informing her probation officer about that employment.
I had to go back and listen to Tate. I didn't say one word about that. What I did say is she wasn't truthful with me.
What I did say is that when I asked if there was any material additions, corrections, or deletions, she should have been forthcoming. She should have been forthcoming with her probation officer. That's the only reason I I scheduled this re this emergency motion for reconsideration of sentence because that's just not true. I didn't say anything about bond conditions. I said she'd violated bond conditions in the past. She lied to me under oath in the first time she was drinking. She had 26 late soberlink blows.
She was positive for alcohol back in February. Four or five days in a row. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, I think it was, or February 8, 9, 10, and 11.
And by the way, just just to pile on here, >> she had to drive to court because somehow someway a car titled in her aunt's name remained in the parking lot for two days after she was sentenced. And by the way, I haven't checked it, but I believe she was still revoked. And this has been the pattern with your client.
So you can correct whatever you want.
I'm going to listen to you and then we'll go from there. What do you want to correct?
>> She is a lawful person.
>> That's fine. I'm not the divorce judge.
>> Well, what he's done custody. He's grabbed the kids. He's changed the locks. She's involved resident of that house. That address is on her driver's license. She has the license to go there.
answer that out.
>> I just read you into the record.
>> I just read you into the record what he said. I didn't say anything was truthful.
>> Yeah, that's correct, John. You did not.
But I I I wanted to make that clarification. I know my client is dead to address what you read in the record of that letter.
>> Okay. Okay. Good enough. What else? So what's happened is what I feared was going to happen desired a new attorney to try to get custody away from her with the next party because she's in jail. I have no defense to that as long as she's and she's been primary care primary of his children since birth.
biological father is not been a primary caregiver not been called he's seized on this we have custody I think children are going to be harmed if people are incarcerated I have no doubt >> is that he is that you Mr. Are you Mr. Steves are you Mr. Yes.
>> Okay. He's in the back here. Go ahead.
>> I have no doubt that his children are being harmed by taking >> I'm not but I don't have anything to do with it.
>> I know, but you certainly have jail house taking care of you by your own.
That's what I'm She has learned her lesson. There's no doubt in my mind. She has learned her lesson about honesty with this talker.
>> I can't lie to the court.
>> Your honor, >> I will not go through a sobriety court with a defendant who's lying to me left and right. And and I got to tell you, I don't know, maybe her aunt drove her here, decided to leave the car here and walk home and leave the car here for two days.
>> I tell that.
And you tell that >> you're >> It just underscores how >> how she has not taken this seriously.
Listen, >> I wanted to give you this hearing only because I wanted to clear up this record.
>> I did not say anything about bond conditions. That is not a true statement. Mr. Long, >> what I did say is she was not honest.
I will let you speak for 10 seconds, ma'am, but you've got a lawyer representing you. This is a motion hearing. If you wanted to say something, you can, but go ahead.
>> Your honor, what when you asked me about the employment, I brought it up. I was unsure about bringing it up before that.
I was desperate to just work for my kids. My kids's dad does travel a lot for work. I'm a mom. I wasn't sure what to say. You know, I wanted to bring it up. It wasn't something that was permanent. I'm want to complete this program. I want to be there for my kids.
I enrolled myself in school. I've been going to counseling by myself.
I understand that I made mistakes in the beginning, but I am more than committed and willing to complete this program if you would please just consider it. I'm a mom. I want to be there for my kids. I want to put this all behind me.
>> No, but you you can't just say I can commit all these crimes and then say I want to put it behind me.
>> This is the thing. This isn't a simple isolated mistake. You've got four. You lied to me under oath about your alcohol use. It's too much. I will not spend the twilight years of my career >> trying to get people who through sobriety court who are not being honest with me. I will not do that. I'm sorry.
The motion for reconsideration of the sentence is denied. I wish you well. I hope everything works out for you and your family. I really do, Miss Great House, but I'm not changing my mind.
Thank you all. Have a good day. Look, are you ready on Shores Financial?
>> Mr. Run, you ready?
>> Yes, I'm ready, your honor.
>> I I feel sorry for Miss Ratliff and you shores ma'am.
>> She uh your your appearance council >> redone appear on behalf of the defendant Julian.
>> Your client pled to operating while impaired. The OWI was dismissed. She had a 146. She scored in category one on the alcohol, category two on the drug use, which tells us she's got little or no problem at all with regard to alcohol, slightly with regard uh to drugs, and that reflects the fact, I guess, that she uh used marijuana back in February of 26. So, at any rate, have you had a chance to review the report with her, and are there any material additions, corrections, or deletions? Judge, >> I did re I did have a chance to review the report with him, and we do find them to be factually correct.
>> Okay. Is there anything that you would like to say on her behalf?
>> Judge, it looks I mean it looks like a a case where this would be a good case for no probation. My client is 54. She doesn't have a criminal record. Um it doesn't appear that that she has a growing problem. Um it was an isolated incident. It was a 0.14 wasn't a high BAC case. Um I think she's learned a lesson judge. I mean, I don't there's a presumption that you not be placed down on probation and I don't think it's necessary.
>> I might agree with you. Anything you want to say?
>> I am very very remorseful about this vulcan study. Um, and I can guarantee you this will never happen again.
>> Your lawyer is right what he says. I thought of that when I read this. There is a presumption. You're not to be placed on probation. It's not my rule. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I'm still still supposed to be following the law, and I tried to do that to the very best of my ability. $300 fines, 350 costs, 75 victim's rights, $50 justice assessment, 775 screening fees, 60 for 835. You have restitution on this cost of recovery of 225 bringing your total to,60 except I will reduce the cost to $300. So it's 1,0 3 days jail credit one serve two. I'm going to have you do two days of community service 16 hours by I'll give you until July 1 and then you I do want you still to attend the victim's impact panel. Okay? So it's 1,0 2 days community service by July 1 victim's impact panel and that's it. I wish you well. I hope you're not going to come back and see me though. Okay.
>> I don't think she >> No offense but no. Thank you very much.
>> Can she pay this today or does she need to?
>> Pay it today.
>> Yes, I can.
>> All right. Best of luck. I think probation you'll still sit down with.
Okay.
>> Good luck to you. Thank you.
>> Do you want to be my um other client now? Tyler.
>> Sure. Tyler Tiller.
Tyler Keith Tillery 26G 306 839 A and B.
>> Hello. J on behalf of the defendant.
limitation time.
>> All right. So, he's going to plead to operating while visibly impaired on file A. The super drunk will be dismissed on that. And then he's pleading to the only problem is the only problem. Let me see something.
Did you pay the PBT refusal?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, he paid.
>> Okay. So, he's already taken care of that.
>> Yeah. So then the the So I don't have to take a plea on that. And then I'm just going to go ahead and dismiss the re.
Just confirm that with me, will you, Heather? He did pay that. I remembered that from last time. Is that right?
>> Yes, he did.
>> So I'm just going to take your plea to operating while impaired. Dismiss the super drunk. Dismiss the uh violation of restrictions on license. And I don't have to take a plea of PBT refusal since you already paid that money, which therefore was an admission of responsibility. Operating while impaired is punishable by up to 300 fines, 93 days jail, 360 hours community service court costs are all four points. License suspension or revocation in accordance with your vehicle and your vehicle could be or might have to be immobilized depending upon your record. Do you understand that?
>> Yes.
>> Did you sign the advice of rights and read it and understand it?
>> If you plead guilty, you'll be giving up all those rights and we will not have a trial of any kind. Do you understand that?
>> Yes.
>> To the charge operating while visibly impaired, how do you wish to plead? Were you operating a motor vehicle on Monroe there even in Jialter? March 3rd of 26 at 10:33 p.m.
>> No. Were you Were you operating a motor?
>> Oh, yes.

>> Yes.
>> And prior to that, did you drink alcohol?
>> Yes.
>> What did you drink and how much? Don't lie to me.
>> Six beers and six shots.
>> Okay. And was your ability to operate that motor vehicle impaired due to the consumption of the alcohol?
>> In what way?
Why were you pulled over by the police?
>> Because I asked the stop sign.
>> You ran through a stop sign?
>> Yeah.
>> You think you did that? At least in part because your alcohol consumption and council, was there a blood draw with a result of point 0.216?
>> Yes.
>> And you stipulate that was accurate for purposes of the plea.
>> Yes.
>> Are you on probation or parole >> right now?
>> Yeah. Anybody force you to plead guilty?
>> Plea has accepted the operating while impaired. Again, as I said, the PBT refusal he already paid and dismissing the super junk and restricted viol uh license violations on the uh motion to prosecutor referring you for a screening and assessment. Have you been going aa?

You have the right to remain silent. right to a trial by court or jury, right to question their witnesses, right to bring in your own, the right to use the subpoena powers of the court to bring in those witnesses if you plead guilty.

>> Count three, that you failed to clear all your warrants by May the 1st of 26th. how you plead.
>> Did you fail the report to probation on May 11th?
>> I did and I um I actually emailed her the next day because I didn't realize it was the day before and she said that she had already sent it over to you as a violation that her hand was tied and there was nothing else she could do at the moment. Um >> hang on, hang on. Just answer my question. Did you fail to clear all your warrants by May one?
>> Yes.
>> Anybody force you to plead guilty?
>> No.
Let me see. I'm calling probation in here.
I'll accept your pleases to counts one through three. I sent you on March 19th.
Why haven't you cleared Why hasn't she cleared her warrants?
>> Judge, she put it simply, she doesn't she she's really dested, but she's if it wasn't for her family and her mother was sitting in her courtroom, she'd be homeless. I'm surprised looking at her financial situation that she even made a payment of $100.
>> Does she work?
>> She's not working. Again, >> she has kids though, right?
>> She I believe child.
>> She got three children. And again, transportation remains an issue for uh many of his families that died. Missia is no exception.

>> It's food stamps judge that she has for herself and her children. And uh, she's not getting any child support at this time. She is living again with her mother who's with whom she's on and if it wasn't for her, this person would be homeless. Judge, I'm I'm expecting quite frankly u even more issues because of the transportation situation.
>> Well, you'll zoom with her on >> Zoom. The class A program is on Zoom.
She can pay online, >> right? The only thing that she would need transportation for, she has several warrants to clear still. Um, I told her to call those courouses and see cuz every court has a different procedure for cancelling warrants. I don't know if they do it in person. Some offer to pay online and we'll close it. So, that I don't know, but anything else can be done virtually.
>> When did you last work, ma'am? Um, I did tell her I just got a job, but due to my transportation, I just had to tell them to take me off the schedule just simply so I didn't get fired. I'm not a bad worker. So, um, I do have that job still. However, she's holding it for me until I get a better source of transportation.
>> Where's that shop located?
>> It's, um, in Monroe. It's a cold restaurant.
