[00:00:16]All right, thank you.

[00:00:19]All right, Mr. Sullivan.

[00:00:20]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:00:28]>> Someone from events Well, you have two cases on docket.

[00:00:32]One stemming from events on or about May 14th of 2026.

[00:00:38]And on that one, you've been charged with murder and assault first degree.

[00:00:42]And then stemming from events on or about May 27th, you've been charged with fleeing or evading police first degree, motor vehicle, reckless driving, fleeing or evading police third degree, and operating on a suspended or revoked operator's license.

[00:00:54]>> Suspects answered to charges for a deadly shooting in Louisville's Russell neighborhood. Joshua Langlois and LeAngelo Sullivan Jr. were both arraigned for murder and assault. Police say they shot Quante Workman and injured another person 2 weeks ago at the Village West Apartments. Langlois was arrested Wednesday at Dismas Charities where he was under supervision for a federal drug conviction.

[00:01:19]>> so we're entering a plea of not guilty on your behalf.

[00:01:22]We will be setting your bond for the first time today.

[00:01:25]>> [clears throat] >> Sir, do you plan on hiring your own attorney or do you need an attorney from the public defender's office?

[00:01:29]>> Uh I already have my own attorney. He's supposed to be in here today.

[00:01:32]>> Who is your attorney?

[00:01:33]>> Newman.

[00:01:33]>> All right, so Huh? Well, um Yeah, let me make sure someone He hops on Zoom, so he's usually here with all of us in the court, so >> Can you hear me okay?

[00:02:03]And again, everyone on Zoom must remain muted at all times. Must remain muted at all times. Thank you so much.

[00:02:23]And welcome.

[00:03:03]You have a testament coming into the waiting room here.

[00:03:12]And again, I'm going to chase after LeAngelo Sullivan. Just making sure you don't have his attorney on the line.

[00:03:19]All right. So, again, that today this is supposed to be All right. So, at this time there may be some conflict with that. Um and um thank you, ma'am, for for doing that. We know the judge is not actually working for us today. So, we're going to go ahead and arraign you again. We do have an attorney um from the public defender's office who will advocate on your behalf this morning. Um and again we >> there's a conflict now?

[00:03:57]>> I don't know. I would talk I think this is between you and your co-defendant Sites, so we're siding >> Okay.

[00:04:02]>> Okay.

[00:04:03]>> That's fine. That's fine. That's fine.

[00:04:04]>> So just so you know, you may need to get some different representation for purposes of arraignment, though. Um and if the attorney from the public defender's office can't still advocate on your behalf, so we're going to go forward with your arraignment at this time. And um again, since we'll be setting our bond for our client, we're arguing for the prosecutor um hearing here this morning.

[00:04:22]>> Based on the nature of the allegations, the county is asking for a written order directing Mr. Sullivan to have absolutely no firearm. We're asking for no contact with 1036 magazines through no contact with the family of the deceased victim. No contact with the second victim in their residence and family. No contact with his co-defendant Joshua Langlois related to the murder case. And then we would also ask for no contact with uh Rassan Sites, the co-defendant related to um 26F4088, which is the fleeing allegation from yesterday.

[00:04:55]Given the facts and circumstances as alleged, the county has significant concerns for the safety of the community as well as related to flight risk.

[00:05:02]Given the uh burdens that stem from yesterday's encounter with law enforcement, allegations of fleeing another vehicle and an allegation of fleeing a boat, uh the county's position is that the bond should be set at $250,000 full cash plus a PR bond to be posted.

[00:05:16]We will go to courtroom 303 on June 4th as the next date to arraign the co-defendant Mr. Langlois.

[00:05:27]>> 303 on June 4th at 1:30.

[00:05:30]>> Okay.

[00:05:30]Mr. Nelson.

[00:05:32]>> Mhm.

[00:05:35]Mhm.

[00:05:38]Mr. Yeah, I did my obligation to my client.

[00:05:41]The neighbors are different.

[00:05:44]I'm going to go.

[00:05:46]I'll be back at 1:30 and get that order.

[00:05:49]Mhm.

[00:05:57]>> 8 10 >> Your um I understand the troubling nature of the allegations here, but Mr. Solomon believes that you cannot afford a bond of $500,000.

[00:06:12]I understand the troubling nature of the allegations, but I will have his pre-trial scores available to the court.

[00:06:19]>> Matter three, matter four, and again, um nature of the offense is key.

[00:06:25]So, while I understand that um Mr. Solomon would like a a lower bond, and again, this bond is about danger to the community, likelihood of reoffending, commission of the nature of the offenses. Here we have an allegation of murder and assault first, and then not only that, it's the fleeing of a and the reckless driving when the officer is trying to pull you over and you put more people in danger, um with those type of that type of alleged reckless behavior, going through multiple red lights. So, while I understand I set it at $500,000 uh for current to collect from them.

[00:06:58]>> Yes.

[00:06:58]>> Um again, the added part of it is not only that, but your scores and your other history of the bond. So, I'm going to set it at $750,000 full cash, HIP is posted.

[00:07:11]>> And then we went to we're going to be June 4th that Mr. Hawkins already agreed to do 7 days out to get people with the COVID in it.

[00:07:20]>> All right.

[00:07:21]>> I guess given the fact that Mr. Neman is a conflict, does he intend to retain other counsel?

[00:07:27]>> Thank you. So, um do you do you or your family have someone who um going to look into other means to hire you an attorney for this case?

[00:07:34]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:07:35]>> All right. So, I'm going to note that you plan to hire your own attorney, and I won't appoint anybody from the public defender's office.

[00:07:40]If your financial situation changes as such that you find it financially difficult, then you can always ask the court at a later time to consider appointing an attorney from the public defender's office.

[00:07:49]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:07:51]>> That is all for today.

[00:07:53]>> Thank you.

[00:07:54]>> Thank you. Thank you.

[00:07:58]>> EXCUSE ME. HEY.

[00:07:59]>> I'M SORRY.

[00:08:00]>> I don't know what just happened, but that needs to be addressed immediately.

[00:08:03]Who was that with?

[00:08:04]>> Judge, that's got to be Mr. >> that?

[00:08:06]>> He was just told to have no contact.

[00:08:07]>> Who is this right here?

[00:08:09]Who is this third young lady right here?

[00:08:12]Cuz this is an issue. I don't know why you thought that you were special that you could do something like that, but you cannot.

[00:08:18]Who is what's her name?

[00:08:20]>> No one else.

[00:08:23]>> Who is she sitting with?

[00:08:25]No, she doesn't need to be out.

[00:08:26]>> No, okay. I thought you >> Have a seat.

[00:08:30]>> So, Judge >> How old are these people? Too old.

[00:08:33]>> He was just a One of the conditions that we just went over was he was to cease to have no contact with her.

[00:08:39]And he just went and kissed her as he left the courtroom.

[00:08:45]>> I want to confirm her name, please.

[00:08:46]Which one of the things I've been asking.

[00:08:49]Come to the Come to the window, please.

[00:08:52]I still need to know >> No, no. I know. I'm just >> What is your name?

[00:09:02]>> I mean, Judge He is in direct contempt of the no contact order. I see. just kissed her.

[00:09:07]We would ask you to make a rule.

[00:09:11]>> Well, one I think of the young This one is in direct contempt.

[00:09:19]Violation of the no contact order. So, are you wanting to go ahead and >> I mean, it's a direct I guess I would just say it's a direct contempt. So, we would we would say we would ask you to arrest >> Arrest him. It's a direct contempt.

[00:09:33]>> And then the court will be freezing the cell phone.

[00:09:35]>> And I know he's not.

[00:09:39]>> Do you want to >> to go down.

[00:09:40]>> We need him back. We need him back, John.

[00:09:42]>> We need him back to solve that.

[00:09:46]>> I used to visit you.

[00:09:55]>> Ridiculous.

[00:10:00]That's bold, right?

[00:10:06]Scary.

[00:10:17]>> Maybe that's it.

[00:10:47]>> Wait. Now, I want you to you acknowledge that you signed a no contact order, correct?

[00:10:52]>> Uh I didn't know if there was a no contact order. I didn't know >> It was set.

[00:10:55]>> No, the order was just for clarification. Order was for a no >> I I thought it was going to be like >> oral condition on that. The no contact The written no contact order really means you >> It's a micro controller.

[00:11:05]>> The more to charge. Okay. So, but she said signs. You understood what that meant to be.

[00:11:12]If there was confusion, that's on your part, but that's unfortunate because that's going to be direct contempt. And so, finding a violation and direct contempt, and you mean the boldness of it all, and that's going to get you 10 days to serve.

[00:11:25]>> Yes, sir.

[00:11:27]>> All right.

[00:11:28]So, just >> You go ahead.

[00:11:29]>> Oh, sorry. Just for the record then, your charge count five will be added to 26F4088.

[00:11:35]It's a direct contempt related to kissing the co-defendant on the way out of the 008 courtroom after being told to have no contact with her.

[00:11:43]The court's ruling is to sentence him to 10 days to serve in the court.

[00:11:47]>> You need to understand the serious nature of everything here. You're the >> I understand, ma'am.

[00:11:51]>> That's all I'm going to say. And then, if any action in violation will incur additional consequences. So, again, don't no third-party messages, don't send messages to her, don't talk about it on your general phone calls. Those are recorded anyway, but I'm just letting you know then I see you have so much already going on.

[00:12:08]Do you understand?

[00:12:08]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:12:09]>> All right. You may leave. You said my name.
