[00:00:08]>> Who are you speaking with? The flesh and blood man with a name? Because that's what I'm trying to find out right now, judge. Who are you speaking with? The name entity or the flesh and blood?

[00:00:20]>> I'm speaking to the person that's talking to me right now.

[00:00:22]>> I am executive of the name entity.

[00:00:25]That's who you talking to right now. Do you understand?

[00:01:03]I just need one answer.

[00:01:05]>> And I don't consent. It'd be it would be a fool's errand to go to this hearing without looking at every shred of evidence that's out there because you have to know what they have and I can't tell you. You're representing yourself.

[00:01:18]You That's why you usually have lawyers that kind of guide you on how to get evidence admitted, what kind of evidence gets admitted. I can't give you legal advice and they can't tell you either.

[00:10:37]This is this is this is actually the uh comp policy of the chief judge that before any pre-trial final pre-trial of a jury trial, everybody needs to appear because we don't want to inconvenience the citizens of the city of Detroit by bringing them in on a jury duty that we can't even get them to appear on a final pre-trial for. So, for that reason, we're going to dismiss the cases. Thank >> nothing further. Safe and happy holiday season, Mr. Lynch. Best of luck to you.

[00:11:13]>> You too, sir.

[00:11:43]>> All right. If there's nothing further I appreciate you filling in today.

[00:11:46]>> Okay. You can represent yourself. It's your absolute right. I mean that's I don't know how smart it is. Have you ever represented yourself before?

[00:11:54]>> How did that go?

[00:11:56]>> Many dismissals >> for what kind of cases?

[00:11:59]>> Had a dismissal on unlawful carry before. And you represented yourself?

[00:12:03]>> Yes.

[00:12:06]>> In in this in this court found >> Oh, well, I found no probable cause.

[00:12:13]That's why I got dismissed. You didn't represent yourself.

[00:12:16]>> I was representing myself, but the judge did find no probable cause.

[00:12:19]>> I found Was it me?

[00:12:21]>> No, no, it wasn't you.

[00:12:22]>> It was >> Well, I don't know. I think it was you.

[00:12:25]>> I found no probable cause.

[00:12:27]>> I think that was you.

[00:12:27]>> You didn't represent yourself for nothing, man. I did it.

[00:12:31]No. Okay. So, well, you can hope and wish and dream.

[00:12:37]>> How are you?

[00:12:38]>> Hey, what's new?

[00:12:40]>> We're on that pro defendant, Mr. Eaton, >> that delivered a discovery that he has come to look at our investig.

[00:12:49]>> Are you talking about Mr. Emit?

[00:12:51]>> Yes.

[00:12:51]>> Okay, hold on a second. Let me get on the record because I don't want to do anything without being on the record.

[00:12:55]So, Mr. Emit, come on up.

[00:13:00]It will be going on the record. So hold all conversations.

[00:13:18]Ready?

[00:13:19]>> Yes. Judge.

[00:13:20]>> All right. Today is time set for discovery.

[00:13:27]It is November 20th, 2024. It's approximately 11:49 in the morning. I'm going to have you guys announce yourselves for purposes of the record.

[00:13:36]Please state >> and judge. Hold on. Can you make him can you have him come over so that I can see him >> right here? Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. State again.

[00:13:52]>> Amathan for the state.

[00:13:54]>> Morgan Hmer for the state.

[00:13:57]Emit.

[00:13:58]Um, >> so what we have here today is we have Mr. Emit. He is charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon. I want to say today is our third setting or fourth. I think it's our fourth setting. Today, Mr. Emit has chosen to represent himself. I have done a Ferretta hearing, found that he is and can represent himself. Mr. Emma, are you sure you don't want a lawyer to help you out? Do you want a lawyer to just sit stand by to be able to answer any kind of questions? Okay, you still want to represent yourself. Understand that if anytime you would like a lawyer, I'm happy to provide you one at no cost to you that can advise you in any way that you may. Um, so that is always at your disposal whenever you need it.

[00:14:50]At the last setting we were working on discovery to see what was available and the only thing if I remember correctly the only thing as way of discovery was an offense report that was in.

[00:15:01]>> So your honor um the discovery is in there is a video there is um a body cam and dash cam that's in the state has tried to reach out or Mr. Abatam to schedule a time for them to come in to review this discovery. It is the state's policy to not give this discovery out of the office to prosay defendants. He is here today. We can coordinate with our investigators for him to come and look at it the way we have. There is also a motion to press file on the same transaction felony and that is scheduled for December 6 15th I believe or 9th.

[00:15:34]>> December 12th >> December 12th. Okay.

[00:15:38]>> December 12th.

[00:15:38]>> Are you representing yourself in the felony case as well?

[00:15:41]>> Yes.

[00:15:42]>> Okay. um did find incompetent to do so and we are having a suppression hearing on the 12th of December for that case.

[00:15:48]>> Okay.

[00:15:49]>> So if we if if the evidence is suppressed both cases would be resolved based on the search because unlawful carry is tied to our transaction is a commission of a felony offense. So if our case goes away your case >> you upstairs as well on his case upstairs.

[00:16:06]>> Felony case.

[00:16:06]>> You're on the felony case. Okay. Great.

[00:16:10]I know the last time we was here, we did I did the suppressed evidence. Are they doing the misdemeanor and that felony together with the suppressed evidence?

[00:16:17]Because I emailed I don't know if it's Anna or I have it on my email. I emailed Friday tried to review the evidence, but I didn't get a response. I got a response to come tomorrow at 1:30. I didn't make it in town till yesterday night.

[00:16:33]So, the defendant emailed me on Friday and he asked he re reached out to review the evidence. Um, I requested a cause number. Um, he provided the cause number and I sent on Monday at 7:20 a.m. Would tomorrow work to review the evidence?

[00:16:48]Please let me please let me know if you have a preferred time. I'm available anytime after 1:30 p.m.

[00:16:55]>> here now. Is it possible to do it now?

[00:16:58]>> Um, let me >> perhaps later today since he's here >> Thursday. Let's let me go talk to our investigators, make sure they can supervise him. And >> you're here now.

[00:17:07]>> Yeah.

[00:17:07]>> I I would Mr. Emma, you're set for a suppression hearing December 12th. You have at a minimum got to look at every single piece of evidence that's out there before you even go to your hearing. It'd be it would be a fool's errand to go to this hearing without looking at every shred of evidence that's out there because you have to know what they have. Behavioral psychologists call this the Dunning Krueger effect when confidence rises faster than actual expertise.

[00:17:37]Sovereign citizen defendants often believe procedural arguments alone can outmaneuver the system, but criminal hearings reward preparation, not ideology.

[00:17:49]Representing yourself can feel empowering emotionally while quietly increasing the risk of strategic mistakes that prosecutors immediately recognize.

[00:17:59]>> Yes.

[00:18:00]>> And what they're going to use to prove, you know, >> last setting I did, they did go in the back room and let me see whatever was like the report that was typed up and everything. So I was able to take >> that's just an offense report. But here he's saying there's body warn camera.

[00:18:15]>> Body warn camera. There's another video as well that was as evidence.

[00:18:19]And then I believe there was an image of the stolen check that was >> you want to sit you want to talk to your investigator now and can you be stay here and perhaps maybe like at around 2:00 meet them at the office and then go through all the evidence then >> is that okay?

[00:18:37]>> Yeah, I can do that. I can or you're here. I mean yeah I can do that if you're want to come in tomorrow morning.

[00:18:43]>> Yeah. That gives us time, but he has confirmed with us because ADA Hner has emailed him and he has to make that call. Like he can I don't know the body cam could be four or five hours of body cam because there's multiple body cams.

[00:18:55]I don't know if our investor is going to stay till 7 o'clock to be body cam.

[00:18:59]>> That's a good point. So >> you're available tomorrow morning tomorrow morning.

[00:19:04]>> Yeah, that's fine. Also, are they going to have the the medical record for the hemp? Are they going to have the >> So that is the one piece of evidence we're still waiting on, Judge, is the lab for the marijuana.

[00:19:14]target.

[00:19:16]>> Thanks for telling based on >> that takes a long time, Mr. Emit. It takes a long time.

[00:19:22]>> Had the receipt from uh cuz I am Montana that was claiming that. I do have the receipts and she was my witness that was that it said that she was claiming that it said in the report so she can my witness could come and do the testimony or whatever.

[00:19:34]>> But that's at the hearing.

[00:19:35]>> Okay.

[00:19:36]>> That's a you do that at at a hearing.

[00:19:38]You don't do that here as part of just evidentiary sharing, right? It's not No one takes testimony now. No one decides.

[00:19:47]>> Last when they said she could do it with the clerk when I did have her here, they said that the clerk could >> You mean just filing an affidavit >> or whatever she needs to do to say, you know, >> I mean, I can't tell you. You're representing yourself. You That's why you usually have lawyers that kind of guide you on how to get evidence admitted, what kind of evidence gets admitted. I can't give you legal advice and they can't tell you either.

[00:20:09]>> Yeah, they said I could submit it to the clerk. That's what they said. The witness could come to the clerk and do >> Who is they?

[00:20:15]>> We didn't say that. I I All I said is that if you wanted to file an affidavit, yeah, something like that. But >> I could I >> um So, can you talk to your investigator? See tomorrow perhaps like at 9 is 9:00 in the morning? 9:00.

[00:20:30]>> So, he goes at 9:00. That way it's early. He can stay for as long as he needs to do it. And then if you guys can also provide me with an address >> of where he needs to go, what floor, >> perhaps give me a contact name and number just in case as well. So your of your investigator. That way if he should have any issues, he has a contact to be able to speak to someone as well because if he tries to go through the regular phone system to talk to man, he'll be beating his head against the wall.

[00:21:01]>> Okay. So just hang tight with me, Mr. Mr. Tom. I'm gonna have him talk to the investigator. see what time. Make sure 9:00 tomorrow morning is good.

[00:21:08]>> We'll find out where you need to go.

[00:21:10]We'll give you a sheet of paper with time, location, and a contact for you.

[00:21:14]You go review everything. Um, our case is now 11:20.

[00:21:21]Today's 11 November 20th. Do you want to set it for after the suppression hearing since you guys are going to do that over there?

[00:21:29]>> And honestly, I don't even think that the marijuana was sent to the lab, your honor. So, >> I put in a lab request, judge, myself.

[00:21:35]I'm not sure if the officers provided it, but I put in a lab request.

[00:21:38]>> Okay. I put a lab request. Like, I don't know when.

[00:21:41]>> We'll cross that bridge when we get there. If the officers aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing, >> you know how I feel about that.

[00:21:54]>> So, >> how do you feel about that? We'll set this case maybe one day after your hearing upstairs >> 12th >> on the 12th. Yeah.

[00:22:03]>> And like they said, if you win that hearing, this case goes away. If you don't win that hearing, then we'll deal with this case the day after and see how we move forward.

[00:22:13]>> Okay.

[00:22:13]>> Okay.

[00:22:14]>> All right. So, we're off the record. All right. So, just hang tight for me. I'm going to get all the information for you and then just look at everything that's out there. Got to Okay. Okay. All right.

[00:22:23]Good luck, Mr. Matone.

[00:23:02]Um, so let's talk about how you might want to handle your case.

[00:23:10]This is just the time just to uh let you know what your charges are. Um did you get a copy of the charges against you?

[00:23:21]>> Of course not. I haven't even been found guilty on the on the sanction the write up while I'm in here.

[00:23:27]>> Well, of course you're not going to been found guilty yet because >> I mean I don't mean to interrupt you, but that's the procedure. And I mean we can talk to the Department of Justice about the jurisdiction of the case as well. We can go we can take it to that extent but you can go ahead and continue. I would like to and I would like to challenge the jurisdiction on the charge. I want to state that for the records as well.

[00:23:48]No, you continue. My apology, >> Mr. Hannah, I'm going to run this court, not you.

[00:23:56]And you can start off with the sovereign citizen crap about jurisdiction and everything else if you want to.

[00:24:02]>> I'm saying I understand that. I'm just saying but um >> but it's not going to >> Department of Justice as well cuz you know who director of Department of Justice is, right?

[00:24:52]Uh that can be by Zoom.

[00:25:02]Your honor, in addition to the sexual battery against a deputy, the defendant also has been convicted of aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery, and aggravated escape from custody. So, at this time, >> on those cases, >> the state's recommendation will be a 7,500 cash or shity bond.

[00:25:23]Those those charges aren't even my record.

[00:25:28]But legal detainment or u >> very well the court's going to go ahead and set your bond at $7,500 facing the grand >> if you can uh sounds like you can afford your own counsel. So u I'll let you go ahead and see about doing that. uh if you can't afford it, when you get around to your next hearing, you can ask the judge to appoint counsel for you. But I've given you a uh your next hearing date, you know what your bond is. Um you'll need to stay with the sheriff until such time as you are able to execute your bond.

[00:26:06]>> And so we didn't address the jurisdiction uh issue either, right?

[00:26:12]The fact that you The fact that you're where you are and I'm where I am means that I have jurisdiction over you.

[00:26:24]We'll now be on the record in Hannah 2024 CR420 state of Kansas versus John Raymond Hannah Jared for the state defendant proay but does John Hannah appear again? I called a while ago and no answer. So John Hannah fails to appear.

[00:26:49]Mr. gear recommendations on a sexual battery charge dating back to August 30th, 2024.

[00:26:58]The defendant was to make a 7,500 cash or shy bond, although he was very combative and challenging at the time.

[00:27:08]Your honor, I do um have some notes um from the initial hearing on September 6 before Judge Sanders that would appear to at least um at least marginally refer to what the court um is referring to in so far as the defendant's attitude at the first hearing was concerned or perhaps demeanor is the be a more um appropriate term for it. I do not have anything in my file in so far as an appearance bond is concerned. Uh perhaps the court knows something that I do not know, but I am not showing any affidavit from the jail either.

[00:27:44]>> I am not showing anything in the file concerning the bond, although I'll check my queue real quickly and see if it's something that might be in there.

[00:27:58]Well, I'm not seeing it, but yet I don't know how he could have gotten out of jail without making a bond.

[00:28:05]>> And then and my notes um do appear to um suggest that um that the defendant did appear in custody. Um to cut to the quick, your honor, the state will be recommending based off of the amount of the bond and the charges um before the court at the very least uh 15,000 cashier shy or a no bond hold depending on which way the court determines is appropriate. I the state would also defer to the court as to whether a bench warrant or a bench bond for a bench bond forfeite should be the court's order at this time.

[00:28:39]Well, I'm going to issue a bond forfeite, but if he didn't post the bond, then of course we can't enforce it. But I'm ordering a bond forfeite.

[00:28:50]I'm ordering a bench warrant for the failure to appear and the new bond will be set at 15,000 cash or shity.

[00:28:58]>> Thank you, your honor.

[00:29:01]>> You're welcome.

[00:29:02]>> On behalf of Mr. Day, I believe Mr. Day is appearing by video.

[00:29:08]Mr. Day, could you state your name for the record?

[00:29:12]>> Tariq.

[00:29:13]>> Thank you, sir.

[00:29:18]So, today is the date and time set for the competence.

[00:29:26]Um, did you guys get a new report? Um, I believe I contact, well, I did contact Miss Hugh.

[00:29:35]sent me a copy of the updated report.

[00:29:37]Was able to review it and we should have a >> I have an order. Yes. I don't see a copy of the report that I don't have a copy from way back in September.

[00:29:50]>> I do. That's the one.

[00:29:51]>> That's the one. Okay.

[00:29:52]>> That's the one.

[00:29:54]All right. So, there's no other additional evidence.

[00:29:57]>> We have no further evidence to present.

[00:29:59]>> All right. And nothing else from the people.

[00:30:01]>> Thank you. Sorry. Nothing else.

[00:30:03]>> All right. Based upon that report, the court would find at this time then that the defendant is competent to stand trial.

[00:30:13]Specifically, the the court would indicate that the defendant can understand the nature and objects of the proceedings against him and can rationally assist in his defense.

[00:30:21]Therefore, the defendant is deemed competent.

[00:30:27]>> Now, we would respectfully request that probable cause compet.

[00:30:33]All right.

[00:30:34]>> Two weeks out work for you.

[00:30:35]>> Yes, please.

[00:30:36]>> All right. I'll set a probable cause conference then for December 19th, 2024. 9:00 a.m.

[00:30:45]Bound continue. Thank you.

[00:30:46]>> Question.

[00:30:48]>> Yes, sir. Uh in regards to the competency hearing, it was not only to for the um to see if stand trial, but it was more so uh to make sure that um the court uh felt I was competent enough to defend myself, which is still my stance.

[00:31:06]>> I think what he's saying is that he wants >> criminal responsibility.

[00:31:11]Is >> that what he's talking about?

[00:31:12]>> No. No. There's no there's not responsibility request request or assessment.

[00:31:17]>> Okay. But Mr. Day, if you contact our office, we'll let you know. Um, we'll answer your question. Um, and if you're asking to uh represent yourself, which I believe that's what you're asking to do, >> Mr. Day, >> is that what you're asking the court to allow you to do >> so we can have some conversation?

[00:31:40]>> Okay. Right. So, you guys can talk about that. Mr. today. If you're going to represent yourself or or if your decision is to do that after you talk with the public defenders office, you'll need to appear in person on the 19th. It will not be over Zoom.

[00:32:01]>> Is there a reason for that?

[00:32:04]>> Yeah.

[00:32:04]>> Well, first of all, because I said so.

[00:32:07]And secondly, if you are going to appear, you are the defendant and you would then be counsel. So I have I want somebody before me.

[00:32:17]>> Oh, somebody. Okay, that's I mean because you said so it's kind of uh discriminatory.

[00:32:23]>> Well, because I said so that's how this works.

[00:32:25]>> Mr. Dave, >> I'm done.

[00:32:27]>> Bon continued. I'll see you guys on the 19th.

[00:32:30]>> Contact our office, Mr. Day, and we can have a discussion.

[00:32:33]>> Adios.

[00:32:35]>> All right. What connects all of these hearings is not ideology. It is control.

[00:32:42]Every defendant here is trying to control the terms of the process.

[00:32:47]Jurisdiction arguments, self-representation, refusing procedure, challenging authority, delaying cooperation.

[00:32:56]And in sovereign citizen cases, that usually feels logical to the person making the decision because the system itself is viewed as illegitimate. But courts do not operate on personal belief. They operate on procedure, timing, documentation, and credibility.

[00:33:14]The moment someone enters a courtroom, the judge is evaluating something larger than the immediate charge. They are evaluating whether the defendant understands consequences, follows instructions, and can participate within the rules everyone else is required to follow. That is why small decisions matter so much. Refusing counsel may sound independent, but it can leave someone unprepared when evidence rules become complicated. Obsessing over jurisdiction may feel strategic, but it often distracts from the actual legal exposure sitting in front of them.

[00:33:51]Missing court entirely turns a manageable case into a warrant problem overnight.

[00:33:56]Ironically, the only defendant here who actually benefited was the one who stayed controlled, appeared in court, and allowed procedure to play out long enough for the prosecution side to fail its own obligations. That outcome did not validate sovereign citizen arguments. It showed how much criminal cases depend on discipline from everyone involved, and that is what makes these hearings so revealing. Most courtroom losses do not happen in one dramatic moment. They happen decision by decision, long before trial ever begins.
