In criminal court proceedings, defendants must knowingly and voluntarily waive their constitutional rights—including the right to jury trial, the right to cross-examine witnesses, and the right to remain silent—when entering a plea bargain agreement. The court ensures defendants understand the consequences of their plea, including potential prison sentences, fines, community supervision requirements, and the permanent record resulting from the conviction. Plea agreements typically include specific conditions such as drug testing, community service hours, restitution payments, and restrictions on certain types of employment or associations.

All right. Court is calling 2026 CR0115 state versus Dantree Renee Gaines. Can I have parties announce?
>> Robert Brabog for Gaines.
>> And are you Mr. Gaines?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Uh, council, have you received all discovery? Did you review it with your client?
>> Yes, ma'am. I have.
>> Court will find that the state is in compliance with discovery. Mr. Gains, did you review the application for deferred adjudication or community supervision with your attorney? Did you understand it? Did you review the true bill of indictment with your attorney?
Did you understand it?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Uh, council, do you wave the reading of the indictment?
>> Yes, ma'am. I did.
>> State, are you proceeding on the indictment as presented?
>> We proceeding on paragraph.
>> Any objections to the waiverss?
>> No objection, brothers.
>> Mr. Gains, did you review the court admonishments with your attorney? Did you understand it and cite it in all the appropriate places?
Uh, you're charged with the offense of collision involving injury.
Uh, that's a hybrid case. So, the range of punishment is a possible fine up to $5,000 and imprisonment not more than five years. If you have a plea with the state, I'm sorry, or confinement in the Bear County Jail for not more than one year. If you have a plea with the state, the court does not have to follow your plea. If the court does not follow your plea and gives you more than you bargain for, the fact that you entered a plea will not be used against you, and you will be allowed to withdraw your plea.
You have a right to jury trial, a right for you or your attorney to cross-examine and confront any witnesses. The state would call in the right to remain silent. By entering this plea, you're giving up those rights. Did you intend to give up those rights and enter into plea in this case?
>> Yes, ma'am.
Did you understand that the court would have grant your application for deferred adjudication? If for any reason your deferred adjudication were revoked, the court could send you to the full range of punishment.
>> Council, has your client been able to provide you with any defenses?
>> Yes, ma'am. Yes.
>> Do you believe he has a rational as well as a factual understanding of the charges against him?
>> Yes, he does.
>> Do you believe he's currently competent and was legally saying at the time of the offense?
>> Yes, ma'am, he is.
>> Mr. gains. Has anyone threatened you coerced you or place you in fear to get you to enter the plea?
>> No.
>> Anyone promise you anything other than the plea?
>> Are you satisfied with the way you've been represented? If you're not a US citizen, by entering this plea, you will be deported, denied naturalization, and re-entry. Did you understand? Court will find that defendant has knownly involuntarily waved his right to jury trial. Did you review the plea bargain page with your attorney? Did you understand it? According to the plea, the state is proceeding on paragraph B under count one. Punishment is to be assessed at four years in the prison.
There's a $1,000 fine. The state is silent on your application for deferred adjudication. They are recommending community supervision and there is to be restitution to the complainant if any.
Did you understand that to be your plea?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> State defense?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> It's your view the waiver of appeal paragraph with your attorney. Did you understand it and sign it in both places? Yes, ma'am.
>> By signing that you're waving your right to appeal, the only items that can be appealed are written pre-trial motions that have been filed, heard, and ruled upon by the court. Did you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
>> Any such motions?
>> No, ma'am.
>> Outside the agreement, the state is recommending that your community supervision before a term of four years.
There be a tap evaluation, 120 hours of community service, restitution, no contact with the complainant, MRT, and driver safety course. Did you understand those are recommendations from the state and the court does not have to follow those recommendations? Yes, ma'am.
>> into the offense in count one paragraph B. How do you plead? Guilty, not guilty or no contest?
>> No contest.
>> State any evidence one and all attempts.
>> No objection, your honor.
>> All right. State you may be excused.
Thank you.
>> All right. Did you review the waiver and stipulations with your attorney? Did you understand it and sign it in all the appropriate places? Again, did you understand you have a right to jury trial, a right for you or your attorney to cross-examine and confront any witnesses the state would call in the right to remain silent?
>> Did you understand that today the state will be presenting evidence in the form of witnesses statements and police reports, but most importantly, there will be no live testimony. Did you understand?
>> Court will find that defendant has knowingly and voluntarily waved and consented to stipulation of testimony and stipulations. Court will accept into evidence states exhibits one in attachments and review the same.
All right. After reviewing states exhibits one and attachments, the court will find there sufficient evidence to find you guilty. Court will defer find any guilty as you've applied for deferred adjudication. Are you proceeding with sentencing?
>> Yes, we are, your honor.
>> All right. Anything you wish to say on behalf of your client?
>> Yes. Uh your honor, the defendant has no criminal history. He worked full-time at Jim's restaurant. He's already taken his pre his driver's courses, his anger management courses. He's been here every time. He's always on time. He'll follow your rules. I think you'll do well on probation.
>> Right. So, how old are you?
>> Absolutely.
>> All right. So, here's the thing. I don't understand why people leave a scene when they're involved in an accident because guess what? Even if you don't have insurance, that's potentially a misdemeanor. But when you leave the scene of an accident, that's a felon.
>> Understand?
>> All right. So, uh, do you have insurance for your vehicle?
>> I had insurance at the time and, um, >> yeah, all my stuff was up to date. That caused my I like penance at the time.
Um, and it honestly caused huge impact on me and everybody around me. So like I'm really sorry that I ran from the scene when I should have stayed.
>> Yeah.
>> Cuz I mean anything could have happened.
>> The other person could have end up dying, you know.
>> You know, I see a lot of times people panic and it's like take a deep breath and think what's the right thing to do, you know?
>> All right. Uh Bashan, are you ready?
All right. This is what the court is going to do. The court is going to sentence you to three years deferred adjudication.
I'm sorry, what did you say he completed?
>> He completed his driver's ed courses.
Okay.
>> Completed anger management. He started on some community service.
>> Okay. Uh Vashan.
>> Yes. two years deferred adjudication, regular reporting by Zoom or in person, regular UAS or the patch, proof of employment within 30 days, no employment as a home health care provider or with minors, field visits one time per month for two months, $1,000 fine that will be probated.
Uh, do you know if your insurance paid?
>> Uh, I know that they gave her they gave her the maximum of the liability thing.
>> They paid her 30,000.
>> All right. So, there'll be a restitution hearing. Normally, can I have a restitution hearing in 30 days?
>> June 25th.
>> All right. Uh, restitution hearing June 25th.
Do you have any children?
>> I have one.
>> What is her age?
>> Okay. Uh 120 hours of community service restitution. Once he completes parenting classes, that will be deemed satisfied.
And you've already done the driver safety course.
All right. Uh I'm going to order the driver safety course. Uh, you need to provide proof of that to probation within 30 days.
And you say you have insurance as well?
>> I have insurance. Yes. But um I don't have my car no more, but I still have information from when I was done when everything happened.
>> All right. There's to be uh no driving until um proof of liability insurance.
And so if you're driving somebody else's vehicle, then they'll need to have you on there or have that anybody can drive.
>> So once I have the liability insurance, I can uh drive again.
>> Yes. But you need to turn that into probation. So you need uh proof of liability insurance uh and a valid driver's license.
>> That hasn't reaches, right?
>> No.
uh probation. Is there anything else? Is there anything else you need from the court in order to be successful?
>> All right. Did you review the document entitled trial court certification of defendants's rights to appeal with your attorney? Did you understand it and sign it?
Because this is a plea bargain agreement, because I followed your plea bargain agreement and because you waved your right to appeal, you do not have the court's permission to appeal. Do you understand? All right. Um, just make sure you provide all that information to probation about the classes that you've done and also about the liability insurance. And Norm, if you can give them a reset, we're going to have that restitution hearing on June 25th. You can appear by Zoom.
>> All right.
All right. Good luck to you.
>> Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, J.
>> You're welcome.
>> All right. The court is calling 2025 CR013253 and 2026 CR00003891 state versus Joseé Calderon. Can I have parties announced?
>> I can state >> Carlos Martinez for the defending room.
>> All right. And are you Mr. Calber?
>> No.
>> You entered a plea and the cause number ending in 53.
You entered a plea to aggravated robbery according to your plea bargain agreement. Punishment is be assessed at a cap of 8 years in the prison. There's a $2,000 fine.
Uh the state opposes your application for deferred adjudication.
is the rank and current with 2026 CR00003891.
Uh in that clause number, uh you're charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by felon. Uh according to your agreement, camp of eight years in the prison, $2,000 fine. State is opposed to your applications for community supervision and deferred adjudication.
And the cases are to run concurrently.
and each cause number. Council, have you all received the uh PSI and tap evaluation?
>> Yes, we have.
>> All right. Any objections?
>> None yet.
>> All right. State, do you have any witnesses?
>> Yes, sir.
>> Defense, any witnesses?
>> None.
>> All right. Then the court will hear arguments.
are asking for you to deny the defendant's application and guilt since eight years prison that is based upon related evidence. Um and so in review of the PSI it seems that the designated because I issues based on what was stipulated to the defendant was the driver. So I >> that he's not the individual that got out of the car and brandished the gun to the complainant. However, he was the driver and passenger is the one that got out and did that. And so taking those schemes into consideration fee bargaining process that's like a we enhancements and we were able to reach the agreements we did. Um, however, based on his history and case, we are asking.
>> All right, just one moment. Off the record for a second.
>> Oh, this is for Eric Mason.
That's okay.
>> Hey, it's okay.
All right.
Hey, it's a Monday. Stop it.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> We're good. Okay. and I can just put it in the system.
>> All right, council.
>> It's like a money.
>> Yes, >> judge. Um, as we know from the PSI judge, um, defendant has been out of trouble for almost 10 years. Um, now this is a very serious offense and of course my client perhaps he misunderstood uh the PSI officer.
He he meant to say that that he was not the one that did the wrong that he was he was sitting there were through a drive-thru ordering and uh supposedly his passenger got off and uh committed this robbery. They could never locate him. But um he completely understands the law parties. when he first came to me, um, even before he got indicted, he wanted to know, "Do you think that I'm gonna have a problem?" And of course, I told him back then, "Yes, you probably will."
I said, "Because the law of parties, if you're there and if you took off on the vehicle, then we're going to have a problem." And sure enough, but he takes responsibility. He's here.
He pet out, you know, just and and it's you probably notice from the PSI, he's responsible for four individuals, four four um actually f five with a wife, but there's some step children involved and then there's two of his and he makes good money. He does concrete work, finishing finisher, and they they verified it that he makes around $4,000 a month. So, we're hoping that the court would consider judge giving him another shot. If not, we would consider uh the lower end of the cap only because just like I said, um he understands the law parties, understands he was with him and uh that's why we find ourselves in front of the judge.
>> Does your client wish to say anything or no?
>> No, judge. uh we've discussed that in detail and uh he wanted me to speak for for it for you.
>> All right. Uh Mr. Calderon, I want you to know that I have uh taken everything in consideration. I always keep an open mind about everything because sometimes things happen and there are sometimes things happen and people are not expecting them to happen and then everybody just gets caught up in the circumstances.
But I, you know, I don't think you're a good candidate uh for probation.
So I'm not going to grant your application.
uh your attorney has spoken on um what he's requesting and I'm assuming the state is requesting the full 8 years.
All right. And state you may be excused.
Thank you. All right. And cause number 2025 CR013 253.
Is there going to be objection? The complainant is saying he wants $50 for his wallet. That was >> please.
>> All right.
And I want you to know I'm taking in consideration that you didn't have the weapon and that caused them. The court is going to send you to $2,000 fine.
Time and money will run concurrently.
Uh this will run concurrent with 2026 CR3891.
There's to be restitution of $50 to Matthew Obera, there's an affirmative finding of a dent in weapon and the court will sentence you to six years in the prison.
uh give you credit for any time suit.
And in that cause number, did you review the document entitled trial court certification of defendants's rights to appeal with your attorney? Did you understand it and sign it? All right.
Because this is a plea bargain agreement because I call it your plea bargain agreement. And because you've waved your right to appeal, you do not have the court's permission to appeal. Because this is a felony conviction, you're not allowed to own or possess any weapons or ammunition. If you have a question over what that is, you'll need to speak to an attorney. In 2026, CR00003891 in that case, what happened with the weapon? Is it destroyed or not destroyed?
>> That I know of. I have not seen anything that says it got destroyed, but we have no evidence that's just Yeah.
>> All right. state destruction of the weapon or no?
I don't know where it is.
>> All right. And that cause number $2,000 fine. Time and money to run concurrently. Destruction of the weapon is to run concurrent with 2025 CR013253.
And I read your uh statement in the police report and I can understand how sometimes people are confused over anniversary dates as it relates to weapon and that cause number I'll send you the three years in the prison give you credit for any time served and that cause number. Did you review the document entitled trial court certification of defendants's rights to appeal if your attorney did you understand it and sign it? All right.
Because this is a plea bargain agreement. Because I followed your plea bargain agreement. And because you waved your right to appeal, you do not have the court's permission to appeal.
Because this felony conviction, you're not allowed to own or possess any weapons or ammunition. If you have a question over what that is, you'll need to speak to an attorney. Do you understand?
>> All right. Good luck to you. You're welcome.
>> Okay. Proceed.
>> Oh. Do you want to stay to grab anything he has?
>> No.
Roberto Hernandez Fox.
>> Oh, please come down.

>> Well, I mean, the only way to get this taken care of today is either you reach an agreement with the state or you come back for a jury trial. and you're not up for jury trial yet because your attorney uh just got out of a trial. So, >> I explained to him that the state has a stake in this. Um the state is going to meet we we provided them some affidavit today from the complainant and a couple witnesses. They are going to meet with them and that that could resolve the case, but I told them they have a right to check that out.
>> All right. State, when are you going to check this out on Mr. Hernandez on page three because defense council wants to retire >> and I don't want to stop him from retiring.

>> But you're not going to be allowed to do that. I don't allow people to be home healthcare providers. And for you, it's not whether you get paid or not. You're not going to be allowed to do that anymore.
>> Yes, sir.
>> All right. The court is going to find you guilty. The court will sentence you to six years in the prison, suspended and probated for six years.

And I can put in here no associating with drug users. But that's going to be hard because if she's accepted into felony drug court, they're, you know, getting over their addictions >> out outside of of treatment and drug court. judge.
>> Okay.

>> Ah, thank you. There's to be uh regular UAS.
All right. Did you review the document entitled trial court certification of defendants rights to appeal with your attorney? Did you understand it and sign it?
All right. Because this is a plea bargain agreement, because I followed your plea bargain agreement, and because you waved your right to appeal, you do not have the court's permission to appeal. Because this is a felony conviction, you're not allowed to own or possess any weapons or ammunition. If you have a question over what that is, you'll need to speak to an attorney. Do you understand?

>> Court will find that defendant has knowingly and voluntarily waved and consented to stipulation of testimony and stipulations. Court will accept in evidence states exhibits one and attachments. The court will review the same. Court will find that there's sufficient evidence to find you guilty.
The court will defer finding guilt as you've applied for deferred adjudication. Are you proceeding with sentencing?
>> Yes, your honor. We wave PSI.
>> All right. Do you have any children?
>> No.
>> All right. Who's your support system?
>> My people.
>> I'm sorry.
>> My family.
>> All right. Do you live with your family members?
>> Who do you live with?
>> Um, mom. My brothers.
>> Okay. So, how often were you using before you were arrested?
>> Not that much.
>> What does that mean? Because I wasn't with you, so I don't know what not that much means.
really do it.
>> I'm sorry.
>> I really do it.
>> So, it just happened that this time >> you were doing it. You were caught.
>> Yeah.
>> All right. This is what the court is going to do. Two years deferred adjudication, regular reporting by Zoom or in person, regular UAS or the patch, 120 uh I'm sorry, $120 restitution to the Bear County Laboratory. $1,000 fine that will be probated in custody.
There's to be a referral to felony drug court and a tap evaluation if not accepted into felony drug court. Uh then follow tap recommendations.
There should be proof of employment within 30 days of release. No employment as a home health care provider with minors.
Uh no residing in households with minors.
Are there minors in the household or not?
>> Okay. Uh there is to be um 200 hours of community service restitution.
One hour will be deducted for every sober support meeting completed.
Field visits one time per month for three months. Probation. Is there anything else?
Is there anything else you need from the court to be successful?
All right. Did you review the document entitled trial court certification of defendants rights to appeal with your attorney? Did you understand it and sign it?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Because this is plea bargain agreement because I followed your plea bargain agreement and because you waved your right to appeal, you do not have the court's permission to appeal.
>> If I may, your honor.
>> Yes.
>> I believe you said the referral and tap in custody.
>> Yes. And what I can tell you with regards to the felony drug court, if you're honest with them, they'll accept you and they'll be able to see you before the week is out because we're going to do the referral today. It doesn't take them that long to get their referral in.
>> Okay. If I can just let them know of you'll have to remain in custody for that evaluation instead of the evaluation on the if you're out of custody, it could take like three months to the backlog. The judge order it in custody. But if you should have the evaluations happen this week for Michael Jones >> and Joseph, if for some reason he is not accepted in felony drug court, just come back to me and I'll probably change the tap evaluation.
>> I'll monitor it. That way you don't hear jail. Okay.
>> We have to wait for the evaluation.
>> Yes, >> it'll be felony drug court evaluation will probably be done before the week is out.
>> All right. Uh let's bring the jersey.
>> Thank you, judge.
>> You're welcome. There's a comment.
>> Thank you.
