追加: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Courtroom opens with confusion over missed hearings and competency issues.

[00:00:04]The defendant blames address problems and claims he wasn't informed, while the judge focuses on missed court requirements.

[00:00:12]What starts as explanation quickly turns into tension over responsibility and notice. Who else is in the courtroom with us?

[00:00:20]Joseph Shadowens uh Okay.

[00:00:25]All right, Mr. Shadowens, uh do you want to come up? Uh we have several cases.

[00:00:30]Come on up, sir.

[00:00:46]Five.

[00:00:47]Um Mr. Shadowens, let's see, you appear on bond today.

[00:00:54]We had a failure to appear, I believe, on May 4th.

[00:01:00]It issued uh warrants for your arrest on that date for failure to appear.

[00:01:05]Uh I've been in contact the doctor from Colorado Hospital. Um you were supposed to have an appointment on May 8th to do the competency evaluation on these cases that had been ordered by Judge Kilgore.

[00:01:23]My understanding is you did not have that appointment.

[00:01:27]That would be um correct uh due to a change of address, to the likes of which I am in possession of prima facie evidence I have not had the opportunity to file into the record. So, my apologies to the court for the failure to appear. I was in between addresses.

[00:01:46]Okay.

[00:01:47]But um what about >> um court requirements of Judge Kilgore and reporting mental health. I was under the impression there were no active cases or pending hearings, according to the DA's office and mental health. I was told No.

[00:02:02]>> by the email. I have the emails, ma'am.

[00:02:04]I was told by them >> Okay, show me the emails then. Cuz I have I spoke with or emailed with the doctor this morning to confirm that you did not follow up on those appointments and she had said that no, you did not follow up on those appointments and we need to get these back on track because these cases are pending and I want them I need this competency evaluation to get done so we can get these cases moving. Ma'am, I was under the impression for the record that mental health was to report back to me, and quote, she said she was going to talk to you the statuses of these cases has been a matter of question. No.

[00:03:02]>> No, sir. I've listened to all of the records in these matters.

[00:03:06]This the last time you were in court, what was ordered is you were supposed to go through these competency evaluations.

[00:03:14]You were supposed to get those done and if you did not get them done, you were going to be sent back into custody to have them done while you were in custody.

[00:03:22]That was the last thing that was ordered in these matters. I have the emails and I'm Sir, I have the records of when you were in court.

[00:03:30]>> I have not entered evidence, ma'am. Sir?

[00:04:55]The DA's office does not give notice of court hearings. I was ejected from the building. I signed up with the sheriff.

[00:05:02]I'm still I signed up with the sheriff's office to be noticed from the court.

[00:05:06]They could not do that, ma'am, because I was in limbo with my address. All my mail is on hold. You have the postal receipts prima facie. Sir, we do not provide you notice of court dates by mail. I signed up for a contract with the sheriff's office to be noticed of hearings. No such notices came through. My mail was on hold with the post office. My apologies to the court for the failure to appear. I was under the impression there were no pending cases, there were no pending hearings.

[00:05:36]Mental health told me they would report back to me after petitioning the court for clarity of the status of the cases.

[00:07:04]Um My question to the court on the nature and cause I was under the impression I am here by special appearance to show just cause for a failure to appear. I have no other issues in front of me this morning, your honor. No. I was >> And you're going to be taken into custody today, sir, so that we can complete your competency evaluation that you have refused to appear for.

[00:07:30]>> It's right here, prima facie, your honor.

[00:07:33]I was told by mental health they would report back to me.

[00:07:37]No such notice was given. I couldn't receive notice from the courts due to a change of address. I have I'd like to read the evidence into the record, please. No, sir. You will not.

[00:07:47]You >> Let the record show that I have been denied a defense.

[00:07:51]A trial by jury has been demanded. I have already sent all of this to the state attorney general Phil Weiser who has obstructed justice and refused to respond in these matters. My right to equitable subrogation before Judge Kilgore was demanded thrice. I also challenge the jurisdiction of the court.

[00:08:09]Judge Kilgore admitted on record in front of Teller County Sheriff's deputies, Your Honor, {quote} "It's a failed prosecution." {end quote} I have since been retaliated against.

[00:08:22]Now, I have teamed up with attorneys including the Disabled American Veterans.

[00:08:27]I I'm moving this to federal jurisdiction. Thank you, sir.

[00:08:30]>> There There's no victim in this case, Your Honor. Your case Your bond is being revoked so that you may go into custody and you may have your competency evaluation completed because your failure to cooperate out of custody in this matter. We will have the competency evaluation completed in a forthwith manner according to statute.

[00:08:50]Okay.

[00:08:53]I have been denied a defense.

[00:08:55]I was denied the right to read evidence into the record.

[00:08:59]And I was never given discovery. I could not plea without evidence, Your Honor.

[00:09:03]That's all a matter of record. There is no victim. Who >> the office of the State Public Defender in order to represent yourself because represent you because >> What's the nature of a crime having been committed?

[00:09:15]In all of your cases, you have been provided notice in regards to the summons and complaint and all of the discovery in this matter.

[00:09:24]>> Which I have abated by an affidavit that prosecution has not responded to. My facts remain concrete evidence.

[00:09:34]There has been no response from prosecution. I don't even have evidence in discovery. Thank you.

[00:09:41]>> The accounting has been demanded for settlement. This is unconstitutional, Your Honor.

[00:09:47]Thank you.

[00:09:48]>> stand for this.

[00:09:50]Counsel, what's going on here? Let the record for the record Let the record show I have been denied due process of law, civilian due process of law, a trial by jury. I'm still speaking, Mr. Sandlin. I must remain harmless.

[00:10:03]I am not done addressing this court with my first amendment right. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.

[00:10:10]What is the charge?

[00:10:12]Read the charges into the record, Matthew Non-Consent.

[00:10:19]Yes, so the public defender will be appointed for Mr. Shadowens on all of his cases at this time.

[00:10:24]Um in regards to his competency evaluation, that will be ordered forthwith in custody. Understood. So, and I would request that the public defender obtain discovery in all matters and provide copies to him so there's no question that he has that information.

[00:10:41]So. Understood, Judge. This is the breaking point.

[00:10:44]The defendant demands rights and denies charges, but the judge orders custody for competency evaluation and revokes bond.

[00:10:52]Court control is restored and the case moves forward.
