[00:04:26]>> Mr. Bodage, if you would ask Mr. Greco if he can look into that. Um, so if for example, if they because when they take your car into custody, they being PDs, they usually do an inventory search. If they found something in your car and they're thinking there might be further charges coming down the road, they might be waiting until they see what happens there. I'm just saying I've got no hold on your car with these cases.

[00:04:51]>> I'll take it.

[00:04:52]>> Okay. I don't know what it is. is I'm just telling you I have no control over whether or not your car gets released.

[00:04:59]So, he will talk to the prosecutor and see if the prosecutor can figure out why there's a hold on your car. If there's anything that we can do there, we'll try it. But I'm I'm telling you, I haven't ordered an impound and I haven't told anybody not to release it. Understood?

[00:13:44]And you got a payment coming up.

[00:13:46]>> Okay. All right. So, are you working?

[00:13:51]>> Taking care of kids.

[00:13:52]>> When's the last time you had a job?

[00:13:53]Where was it at?

[00:13:54]>> Um, midnight.

[00:13:56]>> Okay.

[00:13:58]>> Okay. All right. Anything else I should know about you before I sentence?

[00:14:02]>> Yeah. Good. Good job on that.

[00:14:05]All right, man. This file has been kicking around with some warrant fees.

[00:14:09]>> Yeah.

[00:14:13]All right. Let's see.

[00:14:38]So they're in school every day. Okay.

[00:14:40]All right. So here's what I'm going to do. Usually with all these late fees you picked up, this is like a $700 file and you already owe way too much money. So what I'm thinking is instead of giving you I'm going to I'm going to hit you for some money, but instead of hit for for the full 700, I'm going to give you some extra days on the court work program, which gives you ability to basically work off your debt to me instead of pay it. That means you pick the days, but those days you got to be here at 8 o'clock in the morning. That's that work. Okay.

[00:15:07]>> 8 I can set it up yesterday.

[00:15:10]>> Okay. Yeah. I mean, if you're 8:05, you're all right. If you're 8:35, you're probably >> So, I got a brother stay with me. He can take her.

[00:15:19]>> Okay.

[00:15:20]>> Okay.

[00:15:22]>> That's the right answer. Made it work.

[00:15:24]Good job.

[00:15:24]>> All right. So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to do 300 fines and cost and 7 days on the work program.

[00:15:37]All right. So, the 300 you add into the payment plan you've got. Just keep making your $50 a week or whatever it is. Um, and then when you go downstairs to add the 300 into your payment plan, you're going to schedule those days on the work program. Any questions? Good luck.

[00:15:53]>> You're welcome.

[00:15:56]They take care of the door. It was very nice.

[00:34:09]>> Yeah. Yes, your honor.

[00:34:11]>> Okay.

[00:34:12]>> That's why I was trying to uh that's why I presented to the court. I actually had my counselor call. I'm doing community service through my counselor center where I clean up around a building, restock stuff, help with paperwork.

[00:34:27]>> Where are you counseling at?

[00:34:29]>> Um, it's called the Detroit Recovery Project. That's on It's on West GR Boulevard in Detroit.

[00:35:48]>> It should be. I should have insurance and tax.

[00:35:52]>> All right. So, why don't we do this? Why don't we why don't we just have you reschedule your work days so they start after December 1 when you don't have to rely on somebody else to transport your butt out here 4 days.

[00:41:13]>> 12 months. No, that's right.

[00:41:30]All right. So, I'll accept that with one change. I'm not going to take a plea to impeding traffic just to get $180 extra.

[00:44:28]>> Yeah. I need break.

[00:44:29]>> I I don't know. Jamie thought the prosecutor wanted to talk about this a German.

[00:44:36]Understand? We do not have an attorney on record for you. Your attorney's got to put a file what we call an appearance just to say, "Hey, I'm the attorney."

[00:45:25]>> You just say >> Mr. Bod. What do you have?

[00:45:30]>> Yep.

[00:45:35]of tragedy in their family. A courtroom hearing takes a dramatic turn as multiple defendants face serious decisions involving drug charges, probation violations, bond requests, and upcoming jury trials. One emotional moment comes when an inmate asks the court for another chance after spending months working through rehabilitation programs behind bars. He explains that he wants to reunite with his children and prove he can follow the rules. But the judge delivers a tough reality check, explaining that the decision is now out of the court's hands and rests with the parole board. The hearing also features a defendant facing multiple charges, including assault on a law enforcement officer, evading arrest, and tampering with evidence. When he appears without an attorney, the judge issues a stern warning that time is running out and that excuses will not stop the case from going to trial. Another major moment involves a drug case where a defendant accepts a plea agreement after prosecutors describe evidence allegedly linking her to narcotics discovered during a traffic stop. The judge carefully explains the consequences before accepting the plea and imposing strict probation conditions. Later, a defendant asks to have his bond reinstated after it was revoked because of new charges in another state. During cross-examination, prosecutors confront him about reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and other allegations while the court weighs whether he deserves another opportunity.

[00:47:00]From second chances to harsh warnings, this hearing is packed with courtroom drama, difficult decisions, and life-changing consequences.

[00:47:09]Do you think defendants who pick up new charges while already out on bond deserve another chance at release? Or should their bond stay revoked?
