In criminal court proceedings, judges set bond amounts based on the defendant's criminal history, the severity of charges, and risk factors, with conditions including stay-away orders, no-contact requirements, and prohibitions on drugs, alcohol, and weapons; defendants may receive signature bonds (no cash payment) or cash bonds depending on their risk level, and must comply with conditions such as completing anger management classes, reporting to pre-trial services, and updating their address within 30 days of release.

Um just to give the background about Mr. Isaiah Reeves, um he is 19 years old. He's currently almost done obtaining his GED. Uh as to work, he's currently working in the fast food service industry. Uh he's been a lifelong Georgia resident. Uh he has all of his family here in Georgia as well.
Uh he is also a new father. Uh his daughter was actually just born yesterday. Uh and that factors into our request for bond. Before I get to that, he does have a good address where he's been for his whole life. Uh for his community service, he actually does keep his community through food distribution, which he's been doing for about a year now. Uh your honor, for bond, given the recent birth of his daughter, he he's going to be working quite hard, uh your honor, to keep up with her, of course.
So, we would request a signature bond, and if not, we request it to be as low as possible given his financial circumstances.
>> Okay. I'm I'm sorry. So this incident occurred on May 15th and his daughter was born on May 15th.
>> Yeah.
>> The same day as the alleged offense.

>> And he's got a shoplifting charge from August 27th, 2025.
I'm sorry. He's got three open cases from last year alone.
than this one allegedly occurring on the day of his birth. I I'm I'm not sure about the priorities, Mr. Ahmed. Uh but given his probation, open probation, his three other open cases in addition to his terroristic threats cases from 2025 and 2024.
Um I'm not quite certain as to whether Mr. Reeves can curb his uh ability to not reaffend. A bond is going to be set at 1500. It is a shorty bond uh to stay away from the incident location on Monroe Road. Have no contact with Dwightsteagle. And we're going to further notice all four cases to uh May 28th.
No illegal drugs, no alcohol, and no weapons. Thank you.

>> Okay. Leticia All right, position 14. And Mr. Murphy, who's your client?
>> Leticia Stokes.
>> Well, perfect timing then. Okay. Case is 26 CR 3138G. Miss Stokes is accused of battery from May 15th of this year. Um, she's been advised of her rights. Any priors?
>> Uh, second arrest 2019. Simple battery dismissed.
>> Thank you. Yes, sir. Uh, Miss Pinfford, >> going to be a $1,500 signature bond to stay away from the victim, Whitney Nelson, and then four anger management classes.
>> Any objection? Uh, Mr. Murphy?
>> None. Judge. And this um this alleged victim, they're stranger to stranger.
Judge, my client's age 24, single parent. We appreciate the uh the state's uh grace for that. We'd ask that you allow that, your honor, the signature bond therein, >> Miss Stokes. Um, I'm going to accept the state's recommendation of a $1,500 signature bond through pre-trial services level one. You don't have to pay for your bond today, but you must comply with the conditions. Failure to comply will result in your bond being surrendered or revoked. And the conditions are to have no further contact with the victim, to stay 200 yd away from this person and not communicate with her in any way, form or manner. To also not consume any illegal drugs or alcohol, and you're not allowed to own any firearms. And I'm was it two or four anger awareness classes?
>> Four.
>> All right. And you have to complete four anger awareness classes. These are classes administered by pre-trial services. and you're to complete all four classes within 180 days from today.
Thank you.
>> Thank you, judge.
>> Miss Stokes, I'll be in touch with the family after the calendar.
>> Right. Next case. Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, what about Briasia Watson? Are you prosecuting that, Miss Benford?
>> Yes, your honor. That was a consent bond. I sent that to her attorney. Um, and that was signed.
>> Okay. So, Briasia Watson's accused of battery family violence from May 15th 26 CR 3141F and uh Miss A did your client accept the terms?
>> It was it was magnified. Yes, your honor.
>> Okay. And um what are the terms, Miss uh Pinfoods?
>> Um $1,000 um OBO and it was to stay away from the victim. No alcohol, drugs, or weapons.
And what's the name of the victim? I'm sorry. I try to write them all of them, but I sometimes >> Her name is Whitney. Whitney Nelson.
>> Okay. Are these both codefendants then?
>> Yes, your honor.
>> Okay.
>> I thought it sounded familiar when I read it twice. Sorry for that. Okay.
Okay. Uh, Miss Watson, the state is making the same recommendation uh for um a similar recommendation for you and the bond is going to be 1,000 is going to be a signature bond through pre-trial services level one. You are to have no further contact with Whitney Nelson. Does she live with this individual? Cuz it's a family violence charge.
>> Um, the report said they were moving out. They used to live together and they were in the dispute moving out of the apartment. So >> in that case then, Miss Watson, you're not allowed to return to the apartment or the house that you share with Miss Nelson. You're not allowed to return at all. You >> I'm sorry, your honor. Um what we had agreed to was the no further contact with Whitney Nelson. Um, so if so she understands that she can't return to the apartment right now, but if Miss Nelson vacates or is evicted, then our understanding was that she could return.
Whitney Nelson, are you on Zoom?
Well, if somebody finds out when she's going to move out, but right now, Miss Watson cannot return to the property. If she wants to check with the leasing office as to whether it's vacant and she can return, that's one way of doing it.
But otherwise she cannot return herself.
>> Okay. So the consent order as agreed upon is your honor is adding a condition. Is that correct?
>> Well, she has to have I I don't know if Miss Nelson has vacated the premises. So I'm just adding a logical restriction.
stay away from the incident location until she verifies with the leasing office that um Miss Nelson has vacated the premises and surrendered possession.
>> Okay. If it's okay, >> anything else?
Okay. And then uh in addition to reporting to pre-trial once a month, she is also going to complete u I didn't hear about four anger awareness classes.
Is there a reason why we don't have that? because she didn't have any arrest prior and the other defendant already had a simple battery arrest from 2019.
So, >> okay, >> if that's what the state offered, that's what the state offered. But in the meantime, Miss Watson, you're not allowed to consume any illegal drugs, no firearms, and no alcoholic beverages.
Your next court date will be sent to your new address. So, please make sure that within 30 days of being released, you let the court know where you're living.

He has three children. Uh all daughters, a 5-year-old, a six-year-old, and a two-year-old, all of which of course live with him. Uh which is why for bond, your honor, we request uh that bond, even though it is currently already set at a $1,000 shortsy, uh be set as low as possible considering the financial um expenses that goes along with having three daughters in the household. Your honor, >> bond is set at $50 cash bond. No violent contact with law enforcement. Um, this case is going to be further noticed to May 28th.

No alcohol, drugs, weapons while out on bond. No further violations of the law and no further violent contact with Aaliyah Narz spelled N A R V A Z but it is on the bond. So I'll send that to Mr. Strong.
>> All right.
Um Mr. Ahmed, these are the terms your client has agreed to. Correct.
>> Uh yes, they are your honor.
>> All right. Uh Miss Strong, uh we Mr. Well, I hope I can remember to put this in the bond order, but >> and I just sent it.
>> Okay, so this will be a consent bond order where Mr. Jones will not have to pay the $3,000 signature bond, but he has to report to pre-trial once a month.
And because one of the conditions is to complete a domestic violence intervention program, he will be required to report to pre-trial for 12 months. And that's the condition that we have to either add to the consent bond or do a separate bond order to make sure that the pre-trial reporting is for a 12-month duration. This is um Mr. Jones, you will enroll in a qualified domestic violence program within 60 days of being released. And this is a program involving 24 classes that you would have to complete uh to satisfaction without missing or skipping a class. and you will have to pay for these classes at all times while you're on the bond. You are not to consume any illegal drugs, no alcoholic beverages, and you're not allowed to own or possess any firearms.
There also to be no future verbal and physical altercations with Miss Aaliyah.
If there are or if you get arrested again or if you don't report to court or don't report to um pre-trial or if you don't complete your classes, there is a chance your signature bond can be rebooked.
Understood.
>> Make sure you get a copy of your bond order before you book out. This case is going to be further notice. Thank you.
>> I'm sorry, judge. Before we proceed, Mr. Rose, is it okay if I add it?

>> Yes.
>> Okay. I just wanted to make sure I'm typing it in now. So, I just want to confirm before I >> Thank you, Miss Strong. I appreciate that.
>> All right. Next, please.
>> What level?
>> Level one.
>> Level one.
>> The blue chair. All right. Position number two.
>> Thank you. Come on.
>> Quus quadric.
>> That's like quadric. Okay.
Uh Dari that I can pronounce. and Collins is accused of escape from custody or confinement, driving without a valid license, and no valid insurance from May 15th of this year. Accusation is 26CR 3129G.
You've been advised of your rights, any prior, Mr. >> No. For adult 2025, suspended registration, driving without a valid license, arrest 2020 simple assault arrest. That's it.
>> Mr. Yes, your honor. Considering the previous driving without a valid license as well as the escape showing a flight risk, we are asking for a shorty bond on the escape in the amount of 300, I'm sorry, $3,000. As it relates to the driving without a license, uh it being his second, we're asking for $1,000 shorty and then no insurance, uh $500 for a total of $4,500.
Uh conditions that he'd obviously not drive because he doesn't have a license.
uh no alcohol, drugs or weapons while out on bond. And that is it, your honor.
Thank you, >> Miss Fin.
>> Yes, your honor. On behalf of Mr. Cullens, he is 24 years old. He has been in Atlanta his whole entire life. He has all of his friends and family here, great ties to the community. He graduated high school from in Columbus, Georgia in 2020.
>> Um, and he now has a good address with his mother and his cousin. Um, he does have a job.
He does work at Taco Bell. We discussed the driving history. He understands that if he wanted to remain working that he would need to find a way to get there.
Um, judge, he doesn't have any prior failures to appear. Um, he also doesn't have any prior convictions. Um, so for these reasons and because he has a good address as well, um, and he is presumed innocent, we are asking for a signature bond in this case. All right. On the escape, that's going to be a $500 shity bond. On the no ballot insurance, it's going to be a $500 shy bond. On driving without a ballot license, it's going to be a $3,000 signature bond through pre-trial services level one. And this will be for a 12-month monitoring.
He can operate a motor vehicle as long as he has a valid class C driver's license. Adequate insurance and proper registration. And all three documents must be produced to his pre-trial officer any time during these 12 months that he'll be reporting to pre-trial. If he fails to do so, his $3,000 s I mean, if he drives without valid license and he's stopped again, then his $3,000 signature bond will be revoked and that's how much he'll have to pay when he comes to back to jail. His next court date is going to be May 28th. So, this is a $4,000 split bond.
Your decision to comply with this bond is entirely up to you, Mr. Collins. you if you want to jeopardize your signature bond, then the easiest way to do that is to start driving without a valid license. Thank you.
>> All right, position number eight, Lawrence.
Antonio Antoine Lawrence is accused of simple battery, family violence, and cruelty. Um, cases 26 CR 3132H May 14, 2026 is the incident date. Any priors?

Uh we also would request no stayaway order and no further violent contact uh with the alleged victim of mother.

And uh on the simple battery family violence, that's going to be a $1,000 shity bond. On the cruelty charge, it's going to be a $500 shy bond. It's a $1,500 shy bond. Uh next court date is May 28th. Mr. Ahmed, should I put it on the 11:00 a.m. calendar or is this pending or otherwise we can do a social worker visit to explore MH issues as well as housing because >> Yes, sorry. What?

>> Can you have a onetime visit, your honor, for she belongings?

Um, I will say both of their names are on the lease. Um, just for the court to be aware. It's my >> both of our names are not on the lease.
>> Go ahead, Miss Bad.
>> Thank you. Uh it's my it's my understanding this is the first time um there's been a alleged situation between the two. Um and your honor, it doesn't sound like she has any prior felony convictions. Uh we're asking for a signature bond if the court wants her to stay away from this address. She does have friends she can live with and she understands that she'll need it'll be her responsibility to update her address with the court.
Otherwise, we would ask for the bond not to exceed $1,000. Thank you.
>> Right. Thank you. And Mr. Pam, what were you trying to say?
>> Oh, I was saying that um Jackie is not on the lease, but I would like for the bond not to exceed 1,000 as well.
>> All right. Appreciate it. Thank you. Uh Miss Russell, uh your bond is going to be 5,000.
This is going to be a signature bond through pre-trial services level two.
You will report to pre-trial services for a duration of 12 months and um you will report to pre-trial twice a month.
That is required if you want to have a signature bond. Um while you are reporting to pre-trial twice a month, you'll be required to complete a domestic violence intervention program.
This is different from an anger awareness program because a domestic violence program is one that you would have to ex affirmatively enroll and you must do so within 45 days of being released. You will complete all 24 weeks of classes and you will pay for those classes out of your own pocket without missing and skipping any classes. You will have no further contact with Ian Peton and you're to stay away from the 789 Hammond Drive location in Sandy Springs, the entire complex. You are allowed a one-time visit to the apartment with a police officer to retrieve your belongings. That visit cannot exceed 1 hour. This will be for a 12-month reporting period. So, please make sure that you report to pre-12 twice a month. You enroll in those classes. You comply with the no contact and stay away. You're not allowed to consume any illegal drugs, no alcoholic beverages, and not allowed to own or possess any firearms. Um, your next court date will be sent to your new address. So, wherever you decide to stay, you must make sure that you update the court within 30 days from today of what your new address is. Make sure it's in writing and you include all unit numbers, correct zip codes and so forth. Thank you.
>> Position one Barlo.
Mr. Rose, that's your case. Yes.
Yes, judge. That's my case. And that's Barlo. Correct. Yeah.
>> Correct. Yeah. Uh, Robert Barlo is accused of battery family violence from May 15th of this year. Case 26 CR 3128J.
Mr. Barlo, you've been advised of your rights and your attorney is going to be Miss Badair. Any prior?
>> 31 2016 shoplifting conviction.
2006 battery conviction. That's all.
>> 1961.
So that makes him 65.
>> Yeah.
>> He just had a birthday. 65 or 66. I can't recall.
>> 65.
>> 65. All right. Okay. Mr. Rhodess. I'm sorry. Um Yes, Mr. Roach.
>> Yes, your honor. um in in light of the u total 31 cycles on his Georgia criminal history, uh we are asking for a good bond in this case in the amount of $3,000. We're asking that uh as a result of the bond he has no further contact with Miss Sandra Merik and that he stay away from 6563 Raymond Drive in Union City, Georgia. Your honor, this case involves um allegation that um there was some frustration uh by Mr. Barllo and as a result of that frustration, he threw an ashtray and injured the victim. Uh officers on scene was able to observe the injury to the victim. Thus, we've charged it as battery family violence. Uh given the criminal history and familiar familiarity with the criminal justice system, we do believe that a good bond is in in order here. Thank you, Judge.
Uh, is there a Sandra Merrick on Zoom who wants to address the court? This is the time to unmute and start your video.
Sandra Merrick.
All right. Um, Miss B.
Yes, your honor. Uh, Mr. Barlo is 65 years old. He's been in Atlanta his whole life, born and raised.
um he does receive disability, so he he is not working. Um in terms of this case, he does maintain his innocence. Um and he understands that today is not his trial and we've discussed that at length and he looks forward to returning to court to address this case in a trial.
Um I understand the state is saying that he has a long sheet. However, as you heard, it was only just one or two prior convictions and his last arrest being in 2016 for a shoplifting.
Um, judge, we would object to a no further contact and a stay away. Um, we don't believe that she called the police and I believe that again like this was an accident. Um, and he looks forward to defending himself at a trial. At this point in time, it's my understanding that due to his financial status, he wouldn't be able to afford any bond. So, we are asking for a signature bond or um a bond to be set for as low as possible. Thank you.
>> Bond is set at 1,200. It's a shy bond.
No further contact with Sandra Merrick.
Stay away from 6563 Raymond Drive in Union City. Within 30 days of being released, he must update the court with his new address. He's allowed a one-time visit to the location to retrieve his belongings. It must be in the company of a police officer. Thank you.
>> I think about the company.
>> All right. Na Marsha, no position number.
>> Position three. Was that one >> last night? March.
I believe that Zamari Marshall that was a consent bond, your honor.
>> Okay.
>> Do we add that to the county?
>> I'm sorry. What's the I got it, Katrina.
>> You got it.
What was it? A case number given for this particular case.
>> No, I thought it was a nod.
>> All right. May we have a jailing number for Mr. Marshall?
>> Um 2608484.
And I saw it was NOD. Yes, she is correct. That case is an Odeed.
>> Okay. Um, this particular case is dismissed. So, if there are no other holds, Mr. Marshall should be released.
>> I have a position three, Marcus Epinger.
Is that a waiver or reset?
>> Uh, your honor, that is a waiver. I'm ready to proceed.
>> Okay. And then, uh, do have we addressed everyone else in the, uh, courtroom?
I have position.
>> I have Jacob Gaston. Lorenzo Henderson.
>> Yeah, Gaston. Position five.
>> Yes, sir.
>> That's going to be a conflict. That's going to be Mr. Murphy's.
>> Okay. Oh, and he left. Okay. Is Jacob Gaston?
>> I think he's still on here. Mr. Murphy.
>> All right. Uh, this is Jacob Gaston. Is that correct?
I just want to be sure.
>> Yes.
>> Are you Mr. Jacob Gaston?
>> Yes. No.
>> All right. Just want to be sure. U. Mr. Gaston, you have a case with us today.
Case 26 CR 3139A in which you are accused of battery, family violence, and two counts of cruelty in the third degree from April 1st of this year. Uh, you've been advised of your rights and your attorney is going to be Mr. Dennis Murphy.
I don't think our conflict council was aware that you require um conflict counsel. The public defenders office is legally unable to represent you. So, I need to appoint someone from outside the public defenders office and his name will be Dennis Murphy. Please don't forget that name, Dennis Murphy. Any priors, Mr. Howard? 11 open case out of COB riot in penal institution on probation for a assault 23 SC19 067 I saw two probation holes I got two FTAs from 2024 2023 possession of a pistol by a person under 18 no >> thank you >> that's all >> Mr. Yes, your honor. This this incident uh occurred April 1st of this year with um victim by the name of Tunisia Westbrook where um uh this particular defendant um struck her multiple times across the head and face causing visible swelling to the defendant. Um I to the victim, I meant your honor. Um this was all unprovoked and it was in front of two children. Uh and as such, your honor, uh you've heard of the violent past of this particular defendant, the open cases, as well as the failure to appears. Uh the state is asking for an $8,000 short good bond. Uh 4,000 on the battery family violence for the injuries she caused to Miss Westbrook and 2,000 each for the children that had to witness um this u madness, if you will. Your honor, we're asking if um your honor is inclined that you would issue a no further contact uh with with the victim uh Miss Tunisia in a stayaway and I believe that address is 490 Glenn Street, Southwest Atlanta, Georgia.
That's all your honor. Thank you.
>> Uh is there a Tanishia Westbrook on Zoom who wants to be addressed? Tanisha Westbrook.
All right. Um, Mr. Gaston, as I said, your attorney is going to be Mr. Dennis Murphy, and he'll be representing you, unless you choose to hire your own attorney. U, but on the battery family violence, your bond is going to be set at 4500. On each count of the cruelty is going to be 1,250.
So, that's a $7,000 shorty bond. No further contact with Tannisia Westbrook, which means you're not to communicate with her in any way, form or manner. Let me finish verse so that you remember your bond conditions. You are not to have any contact with her. You're to stay 200 yards away from her. You're not to uh try to reach her through a third party, through a phone, computer, social media, and so forth. Not you cannot even send her any mail. And you're not to have any contact with her children. If you wish to have any contact with the children that she has, uh, if they happen to be yours, then you need to file a legitimation case and get a court-ordered parenting plan. Uh, no illegal drugs, no alcohol, and no weapons, and no firearms. You've also got two probation holds that you need to address with this court. Your next court date will be May 28th. Mr. Gaston, you have a right to remain silent. Your attorney is not present right now. So, anything you choose to say, your statements, what are you shaking your head for?
>> I'm listening to you, J. I'm doing >> Okay. You shake your head when you're listening to someone.
>> Okay. Please don't.
>> All right. When you have a right to remain silent, if you choose to wave your right to remain silent and you start talking about your case, about your defenses, or any of your other cases, your statements can and will be used against you.
So, highly recommend you wait till your attorney is present.
>> I don't want to wait till no attorney present because I just talked to my people. My attorney supposed to be present. So, now it's like every time I come to his court.
>> Who is your attorney?
>> This man just said I have two probation hoes.
>> Who is your attorney?
>> How do I make no sense? I don't even know him. I just I don't even know him.
>> Okay. Yes. You have two probation holes.
That would be correct.
And can you can I ask one question? How do I have two probation holds and I'm on one I'm on only one probation.
>> Um, well, I'm looking at two probation holes. One is from April 23rd. So, it's possible it may be a duplicate because I've only got one case here, 26PV.
Oh, I see. I know why. Uh, you have a felony probation hole in 26PV 00125.
I think that's a five. And then you have a probation hold in a misdemeanor state court case 24 CR 00610.
And I can't make out the rest of the numbers because this cut off, but you have a misdemeanor probation hold and a felony probation hold.
>> All right.
I What? I talk I talk to my probation officer every day. The only probation I've been checking in for the past year, I've been out for a year. I promise you, I'm not even gonna talk about my case.
I've been out for a whole year. I only been checking in with felony probation for the past.
>> Miss uh Miss Miss Lewis, can you make out that misdemeanor? I can't read out the whole case number.
>> Hold on. Let me >> 24 CR 00610.

>> Uhhuh. As in delta.
>> Okay.
>> And then um it it's already signed a FTA. Oh, well that was the FTA number at that time. They have the 26. Okay. And then his um felony probation hole.
>> Okay. So he he knows about the felony probation, but he doesn't know why he's on got a hold for that. But in this one, there is a Yeah. You were convicted on September 12th and there is a there was a probation.
There is right now a request for warrant dismissal and a motion to declare that you unsuccessfully completed probation.
So that's what the hold is.
>> All right. Thank you.
>> Judge, can you ask him he talked to Mr. Murphy? Because I know Mr. Murphy. I gave him the list of the individuals.
So, he said he talked to somebody. He said he did not know the name. So, did he could he concur if he talked to Mr. >> Did you Did you speak to to a white male in silver hair?
>> He told me he he told me he said, "Hey, my name is Gray." He said they you gonna see me on the Zoom. I'mma be in all He said something like I'mma have all gray or something like that. He said, >> "Well, I've already told Mr. Murphy to uh that I'm appoint I've already told you I'm appointing Mr. Dennis Murphy. So hopefully he'll reach out to you and if you're still in custody, he will definitely be reaching out to you before May 28th. Is that Mr. Murphy joining us?

>> It's a shy bun.
>> A bonding company would be able to bond you up or you can put up $7,000 cash.
>> Judge, would you stay away from this location as well as the no further contact?
>> Yes. Stay away from 490 Glenn Street, Atlanta, Georgia. no contact with Tannisia Westbrook and the children he shares with her.
>> I have two kids on the way with her and two kids already with her. I have twins, two sets.
>> You have four children with her?
>> Just talked to the prosecutor today and told them.
>> Do you have four children with her?
>> Yes.
>> Then you need to file then you need to file a legitimation case and get a court ordered parenting plan.
And your honor, I just want to make sure the court's aware there were a total of four conflicts on this calendar that um Mr. Hadad uh informed the email list of um so we >> you know I I think our office made everybody aware earlier on. I just want to make sure that >> Was Mr. Murphy apprised of that?
>> Yes, I forwarded everything to Mr. Murphy. I didn't hear respond back until I saw him on the line. So that indicated that he got the information, but I know that one of the uh I think it's Robert Vincent who was um assigned as a conflict. He got his case was nod and then I say Mr. Murphy already took care of Mr. Sto Mr. Stoke and then there's one more Lorenzo Henderson.
>> All right. So let's address Lorenzo Henderson and then we have that waiver case to address as well. Is there a Lorenzo Henderson in courtroom?
>> Need you back on Zoom. Believe your client Lorenzo Henderson might be on.
Can you jump back on?
>> Yeah, for Lorenzo Henderson. I think he's charged with a felony, I thought.
>> No. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Move your screen, Mr. Rhodess. Mute your screen.
Thank you.
>> All right. Mr. Murphy might be joining us very shortly. Um, you know what?
Let's get to the waiver case. Marcus Epinger. Miss Bader, is that your client?
>> That would be me.
>> Oh, Mr. Ahmed. Okay. And Mr. Epinger is accused of battery family violence from March 28th, 2026. Case number 26 CR 3130E.
And uh Mr. Ahmed, that's your client.
You're waving his presence. Any prize, Mr. Howard?

2018 forgery in the first conviction.
2016 burglary in the first conviction.
That's all.
Mr. Roach.
>> Yes, your honor. Wish I could be more help, but I lost my techn my cheat sheet. But as it relates to Mr. Epinger, uh your honor, um he does have an open felony right now that I believe he might have been heard in first appearance for.
So, I don't know if they gave him a bond on those charges. We are asking for a shorty bond on this particular case in the amount of $5,000. We're asking that he um have no further contact with Javon Smith and that he stay away from 1536 Rogers Avenue. Uh your honor, this is the um when I read the report on uh this particular case, this was the the officers have been called to this location uh multiple times. Um, and then there was a previous case that was dismissed at the same location, but it was a different victim battery family violence. Uh, just seems to be um >> very violent history. That's the basis for the state's violent request. Thank you, Judge.
>> Mr. Al.
>> Uh, yes, your honor. As to Mr. Abinger, um, he is currently recovering from a knee surgery, hence the waiver, but he is 23 years old. He has uh he's currently unemployed. Uh previously he was a contractor for specifically working in construction. He's a lifelong Georgia resident. He has all his family here uh in Georgia. He has two children, an 8-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter. Uh the address, he has a good address. Um it only uh Mr. Einger stays there, not the alleged victim, uh to my understanding. And I was also informed, your honor, uh that the alleged victim did not want to press charges. Of course, I would refer to the victim coordinators in the solicitor general's office. Uh for bond, your honor, we would request I don't I did hear an in FTA. I'm not sure if it was within the five years, past five years.
>> 22, just under five years.
>> Okay. Just shy. Uh so in that case, your honor, we would request um bonds be set as low as possible. Um as Mr. Ebinger is still unemployed but looking for work and employment. We would also request no stay away as only he remains at that location and um I think it was just formerly living together in the past uh as to the basis of the family violence charge. We would also request no further violent contact.

No. Okay.

That is Bria's apartment. Whitney is still there as of today. So, we're trying to see how can my daughter retrieve her items being that Whitney is still there. She's broken into Bria's room and has been going.
>> No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You asked me one question and I can't.

>> She's not.
>> Okay. Then, uh let's go ahead and give her a one-time visit. And that visit must be with a police officer. And she's only she goes there with a police officer. No one else.

>> I'll send yours. I got it.
>> You have it, Mr. Rhodess?
>> Yep, I got it. Thank you. Thank you.
>> Okay, courtroom two is back. Perfect.
All right, Mr. Murphy.
Is Mr. Murphy still talking to Mr. Henderson?
>> All right, courtroom two, please unmute.
>> He He just got off the phone. He said he was trying to join.
>> He's what?
>> He's tried to join. He just ended the phone call.
>> Okay.
>> Deputy, has Mr. Murphy spoken to both the defendants.
>> So he had talked to um Henderson uh earlier, but Henderson did not want to stay for courts. He wanted to go back. So I tried to call >> Murphy so he can wait his appearance, but he did not pick up the phone and Henderson was ready to go back to the floor.
>> Okay. Um with regards to Lorenzo Henderson, he left the courtroom.
>> No, he did not leave the courtroom. He want he did not want to stay till 2:00 so he wanted to go back to the floor.
>> So he never even came into the courtroom.
>> He came to the courtroom and talked to Murphy early.
>> Okay, got it. Thank you. Uh Mr. Murphy, uh we have Mr. Gaston, Jacob Gaston, uh prior to your appearance. Um, I had already instituted a $7,000 charity bond uh based on his history, based on the allegations set forth in the warrant and the fact that he's got uh two probation holds.
Um, anything you'd like to me to reconsider?
>> This is for Gaston, >> correct?
>> Judge Gaston has uh two children on the way. He's already got two more with his fiance. This is Mary Hamilton, the alleged victim. Mhm.
>> Judge. Um it's my understanding him and Miss Hamilton are both facing a dispossessory. My client does have a good address to relocate to. He would go reside with his grandmother and be able to take care of the fiance and the children. Um we'd ask the court to consider a signature bond even if there's holds. So once that there's once probation's reached him, at least he can. This isn't going to hold him up.
>> So Mr. Murphy, you know, um he's got 2024 FTAs. He's got two probation holds.
He's got open probation cases. And he's got at least I believe it was 20 three cycles if I'm not mistaken.
>> Well, judge judge there there comes a time.
>> No, no, no. I'm I'm I'm just trying to say he does not qualify for a signature bond under the new legislation.
>> I I you are correct, judge. I would uh judge I' I'd ask for u I'd ask for just a a reasonable shy bond saying the amount of $2,000.
>> Uh Mr. Rhodess, anything else to add?
>> Um your honor, I do believe that uh some of the previous charges were violent in nature as well. So, this is propensity as it relates to um his particular behavior given the fact that he um is on current probation and has open cases. He just needs to get it. Um so, I'm asking that the $4,500 bond remain. The state did originally ask for 5,000, but >> I thought it was seven. This is gas.
>> No, no, no, no. That's okay. No, no, no, no, no. The state asked for five. I put seven.
>> All right. So, I don't know if you are aware, Mr. Gaston, Mr. Murphy knows this, Mr. Rhodess knows this, but I do get to read the warrants as well and whatever information is available. And I also get information about your criminal record history. And sometimes the uh prosecutors get very concerned if I don't listen to them and don't follow their recommendations and I either go below or I go above or I give a signature bond or I don't. And given the uh allegations set forth over here, given your criminal record history, given your multiple probation holds, given your failures to appear, Mr. Gaston, you have worked your way up to a $7,000 shity bond. I have great concerns that you have a very high likelihood to reaffend and that you may be a danger to not only the community but the alleged victims.
>> Can I please my apologies your honor? The state asked for a 42 and two.
>> Okay.
>> Can I please say something please?
>> Mr. Murphy >> Gast and I at this point I rem remain silent. I don't want you to jeopardize anything further. judge.
>> I'm not even gonna say nothing about that. All those FTAs and stuff like that. I was in custody when all those FTAs I was in juvenile. I've been in juvenile since I was 15 to 18. I just now I'm just now being out of jail like for a whole nine months. I' This is the longest I've ever been out of jail. I This I've not violated one time.
>> Leave it with that. Let's leave it with that. Mr. Gas.
>> Yes, Mr. Howard. He has 11 cycles, not 20.
>> Sorry, 11 cycles.
>> Yeah, just to clear that up.
>> Thank you. Anything else?
>> No, >> next. Um, and with regards to Mr. Henderson, uh, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Henderson is accused of criminal trespass causing damage to property, case 26, CR 3142C.
After you spoke with him, did he agree to a waiver?
judge. He was he was he I he was unsure why he was there. He thought he was there on a felony issue. He he he did not indicate to me that he was looking to wave. He was he was unsure of what what his charge was. And I couldn't glean it off of what Miss Lewis had sent me.
>> All right. Let me clarify then. I just want to make sure that if he has a if he was booked in recently on a felony case, there was an outstanding warrant for this um misdemeanor charge from and I do have that case number on the felony case if you leave on it.
>> Yes, please. 26S SC00002167 that is for one count of aggravated stalking for which he received a no bond and then criminal trespass and damage to property for which he did receive a 3500 bond. So I'm showing two counts under that that number.
>> Okay. Um Mr. Murphy, just FYI, he's got a um battery family violence charge from January 26 of 2026, this aggravating stalking charge. Uh two counts of failure to appear. He's got a foreign hold and he's got this new charge for criminal trespass causing damage to property. So, he's been booked in on multiple charges and >> I'll get a waiver out to you and then I'll him and we'll go from there.
>> All right.
>> Already got hold.
>> Anything else? Um, do you want me to proceed or do you want me to reset this to Monday for the Calendar?
>> Um, Monday will be fine, judge. I'll be down I'll be downtown and I'll I'll I'll click in. That'll that'll work.
>> All right. This is not a Riverside matter. the defendant uh left did not come to the courtroom after speaking to his council or left whatever reason.
There is no affirmative representation of a waiver. So uh it's going to be reset to the Monday Calendar May 18th.
>> Thank you, Judge.
>> Thank you. All right, folks. Uh that concludes the calendar. Do I need to go over anything? No. All right, youall have a good one. Take care. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Bye, man.
>> All right. Thank you.
