Hey guys, and welcome to today's video. Today we have two sovereign citizens in court to cover with both of them invoking God as the only one who can tell them what to do and not to do. I guess they both forgot to read Romans 13:es 1 and two.
So, let's begin. Joshua Henman, your honor, like you're trying to subject me to your jurisdiction. I'm not dealing with your gibberish, Mr Henman.
If you're not Mr him and I'll issue a warrant for his arrest and the deputies in the front representative for him. No, you're not. You are who you are.
Do you want an attorney to represent you? You going to hire an attorney or you want to talk with the DA to see if you can work something out? Come on up to the table so you're in front of the microphone.
Does that cause no crime? Again, your options. If you want, you can apply for the public defender, you can hire an attorney, or you can see if you can work something out.
Wave all my rights. I don't want to wave my rights, sir. I wanted to talk with him.
Are you Joshua Henman? Are you Joshua Henman? I'm the representative Joshua Henman.
I am warrant issue for Joshua Hinnman's arrest for this failure. I am Joshua Henman in the flesh. But I have to represent this because I know it's a proprietary.
That's all I'm representing. Warrant issue for Mr Henman's arrest. Bond said at $500 cash.
I'm here. 48. Yes.
I'm here, sir. Okay. Now, your options again.
You don't let me demur. No, your options again. I'm not getting into a debate with you.
Your options are I respect you, sir. I'm not trying. If you want to apply for the public defender to represent you, you can do that on the case.
You can hire an attorney or you can negotiate with the DA to see if you can work something out. Well, I just I can't go to jail. I I can't.
It's impossible. I I have to feed my family. I don't know what else to do.
If I went to jail, I'd be my liberties. You're not going to jail today. You're obvious.
I got my family. I Your options are if you want to apply for the public defender to have them represent you, you can. But that makes me sign my rights away.
It does not. It gets you an attorney to advise you and represent you in the case. Yeah, but then then I'm seen as a child in the court and I can't say nothing.
No, that's not true. Do you want to apply for the public defender? That's a possibility.
Well, I would rather represent myself. Okay. And you have that option.
So the option I'm not allowed to demur on the record. I'm not allowed to demur. Uh, I don't even know what that is.
So, your options are if you want to talk represent yourself, you could talk with the DA to see if you can work something out on this traffic case or I can set it for trial. Do you want to talk with the DA to see if you can work something out? It could be a plea agreement, Mr Hman, that results in no jail being disrespectful, sir.
I'm not trying to I appreciate you in the courts. I'm I I need you in the courts. I'm not the type of person they call sovereign where I don't want any of this to exist.
I want my FBI CA. I I love all that stuff. I think that's awesome.
I I am not against any of this. I just victimless crimes. I haven't hurt anybody and there's no vict injured party.
So who who am I trying to make whole? I'm I'm not debating with you. I'm not asking to debate.
I'm asking where's the victim the crime to make so I can make them whole? Doesn't have to be a victim in the case. Well, so your options law there does.
I'm not here under common law. I'm here based upon statutory violations on a summon and complaint that was served upon you to answer to the court's call. Okay.
Well, what about the laws of creation? It goes God, man, government, then the proprietorship. I'm man, I'm above.
I can't tell God what you do. Your options are I don't even know the subject matter jurisdiction. Is this a crime?
What? I don't know. Are you sure you're not a sovereign citizen?
because everything you just said has literally been said by every sovereign citizen in court. But to answer your question, you wouldn't be there if the court didn't have subject matter jurisdiction over your alleged crimes. That's how you know.
That's why I'm asking questions and you're getting mad at me. Just I'm not getting mad at you. The options are that you if you want to talk with the DA to work something out, you can.
Well, what is jurisdiction so I know how to defend myself? You're alleged to have been operating a motor vehicle on the highway and streets of the state of Colorado without a driver's license, without proof of insurance, and having private. I don't have to show anything when you're private.
When you're private person, why? Yes, you do. Well, that would make me worship you, and I don't I can only worship God.
Okay, Mr Henman, do you want to have an attorney or you want to talk with the DA to work something out? So, this is my only options on the record. I Or I could I could enter a not guilty plea on your behalf.
On the record, right? I can enter a not-uilty plea on your behalf and set it for trial if you want to do that. Is this a court of record?
It is. Well, I I'd like to move the court to notice of uh USC 28 3002 subsection 2. Do you want a jury trial or a trial to the court?
Do you want a jury trial or a trial to the court? This is a tax. I'm setting your case for Is this not a tax court?
Do you have a congressional approval to operate? Sir, I'm asking you a question. I'm not dealing with you.
Do you have a congressional approval to operate on the record? I'm not being answered. You want a trial to the court or a jury trial?
If you answer my congregational approval to operate, I will. We'll set it for a jury trial. Well, I demur I demur on the record.
I'm not letting him do anything for me. I demur. Great.
No victim, no crime. Show me the law. Can I please see the law?
Can you explain the law, not policy, because only Congress creates law. August 27th at 8:30. Congress writes law only.
And I'm only subjected to what Congress writes. And the Constitution allows me to ignore anything that there's no victim and the state cannot be a victim because I am the state. I am the people.
I am no person. I am no they. I'm no them.
I am only the people. And on the record, I will see be seen only as the people. And if there's no victim, there's no crime.
And I don't even have to show up to that court date. I am told I can ignore it. So I I take none of this under his precaution.
But I stand on demur. And if there's no victim, there's no crime. We can do the oceans.
We got to stand up for our rights. If not, we're going to end up like Nigeria, like my wife's country. We have to pay the police to come help you.
And I fear this. I love my country too much to let it go to hell. Forgive me, F.
Forgive me, father. Here's a copy of these court dates, Mr Henman. Well, my clerk, does it matter though if they're unconstitutional?
Sir, you you swore an oath to the Constitution and you're completely usurping it. Can't answer that, can you? I've given you your five minutes of famous 122, sir.
There's your copy. 4225. You want to take your copy?
Why do I have to? It's It's pretty much you. It's unconstitutional.
All right. You can leave my courtroom now. Constitutional.
You can leave my room now. First name and last name. Seek remedy.
Sure. It's Bruce is my first name. Common spelling.
And then Rahm is R A A M. R U R A A A U M A two A's one U M I'm sorry your honor I'm not meeting you want your copy of the paper but I'm just standing on my rights as the You want your copy of the paperwork Mr Hman. Well I'll need it for uh for getting my remedy.
Okay, for the court ignoring my rights. Okay serving me. You can leave my courtroom now.
Mr Hman. My courtroom, sir. I'm leave.
Stand on your rights, people. Agreed. Just don't stand on your rights like this jackass.
So, now we head to our second hearing where we have another sovereign citizen. Except this one wants to fire his attorney because she doesn't hold the same moral values as him. Judge, I'm ready ready to proceed.
Hey, did you talk to the people? I wish not to speak to uh the prosecutor, ma'am. I don't want to be forced to speak.
I just I just need to They need to know what's going to happen today. what you're going to ask for. Well, I don't want to I just want to ask them uh that I could be able to exercise my rights and I don't want to wave any of my rights and I just want to continue the process, your honor.
He's currently represented by the public defenders office. Oh, what? I no longer wish his name.
It's um Mr Marquez. Okay. Are we ready to call it?
I can call it now. Okay. Give me one sec.
Ma'am, that Hold on one second, sir. Hold on. Please stop.
Please stop talking. Give me a moment. I appreciate it.
Thank you, ma'am. Okay. Um, what's what's the name?
Marquez, ma'am. Dominic. Last name Marquez.
First name Dominic. Okay. Number 28 on the document.
28. Okay. 26 CR456 people versus Dominic Marquez.
Michelle already for the people. Dominic Marquez in person. I can't.
You need to be near a microphone. Excuse me. Dominic Marquez in person from pro.
Um, right now, why don't we have you have counsel? So, at this point, I sir, I'd like to exercise my right in representing myself at the moment. Please, I I heard you for the record.
I'm going to hear from your counsel first. That is no longer my counsel, ma'am. I don't want to be forced objection that I don't agree with.
You can't stop interrupting me and talking over me. You can have a seat and we'll call you at the end. Is that like a you know I don't want to be under duress or anything to um exercise my rights.
Ma'am, I need to know whether you understood what I just said. I do not at this moment. I just want to um proceed forward.
I don't really don't know understand um your procedures, but I do understand um I really don't even understand if this is a criminal matter or a a civil matter in this or you know I was never fully advised for the record of my um of the charges I'm being charged with. May your counsel enter their appearance right now. I told you I will hear from you when it's time.
She's no longer on my counselor, but I'm willing to wait if I if I need to exercise my will recall you, sir. Thank you so much for letting the end of docket. Well, this ass hat is going to be a lot of fun.
So, they made him wait until the end of the docket so they could address his dip shittery. It was a little more than 3 hours, and let's just say he did not appreciate having to wait his turn. All right.
Are we ready to call Mr Marquez? Not ready, Matt. been ready since he this morning.
Okay, we're going to recall number 28 on the docket. 26CR 456 people versus Dominic Marquez. Michelle Bhoff for the people.
Dominic Marquez appear in person is pro and Key Wallace also present. Miss Wallace, you are appointed counsel at this time. Correct?
I am. Okay. All right.
Mr Marquez, I'm going to say something to you. Yes, ma'am. From the lace and ground rules.
I w was hoping they'd be apparent earlier, but you kept interrupting me. Okay. At this point in time, you have courtappointed counsel.
I'm going to give council opportunity to make statements. When they're done, I will give you an opportunity to make statements. What you may not do is interrupt either myself or either of the councils.
Do you have any questions on that? Yes, I do. Was that like a active malfunction making me wait um all that time even though I was scheduled to have court this morning?
I said, did you have any questions? Yeah. Oh, for you?
That was the only question I had. Okay. That that's not responsive to mine.
So, um that's the only question I had. Ma'am, you can proceed. Okay.
All right. Where are we from council's perspectives? Your honor.
Um, I did file an evidentiary motion um, regarding express consent after conferring with Miss Brady Hoff. It sounds like there was some witness unavailability for the hearing scheduled on Friday. Um, we had discussed potential dates for rescheduling, but that's about as far as we gotten.
And that is correct, your honor. Um, we sent subpoenas as soon as defense motions were received. Um, and we did receive notification from Sergeant Bots that he is unavailable for that date.
I have reached out to him and the other officer named in the motion. Um, we do have their bad dates and again, Miss Wallace and I had been conferring on potential dates to reset within Speedy. Okay.
Mr Marcus, it sounded like you want to address whether or not you want to continue with your court appointed counsel. Is that accurate? Um, I'm exercising my right uh my fifth amendment right just to remain silent because I don't want to uh I am under duress for the record.
You know, I don't want to say anything that's going to um cause me to be howled up or make this process go any longer. Uh I was never formally advised of this. I never waved any uh right of my advicement or anything.
And like I said, I still don't understand if this is a a criminal case or if it's a civil matter. Um I just like to remain silent until I could uh get properly informed of um these allegations that are that I'm presenting with today in your courtroom. Okay.
Anything further? No, ma'am. Okay.
Um and then just I I think I expressed for the record earlier um just my attentions that um I do want to proceed and I don't want to wave any of my any of my rights. Um, I'm sure you're aware that um I don't want to say anything else, ma'am. Um, those are my intentions.
I'm pretty sure you're very intelligent woman, but um, not any point of this did I and I like how you put it. gave me a lot of time to um you know see the process and it's kind of quite sad you know and uh and I don't want to go on that but um I did not knowingly I did not um intelligently I did not um yeah and there's like no respect in here at all you know like and um this is a courtroom that's supposed to have honor you know and dignity and um and integrity you know and um espart especially the rights of of men that that are presumed innocent in your courtroom you know no disrespect to you ma'am but I did not wave knowingly, intelligently. And there was a third one that you had put the third one you're looking for is voluntary.
And I'd argue that it's impossible for you to wave anything intelligently. Sorry, I just um like I said, I'm under duress. I don't um I was not expecting to be punished for um exercising my right as far as not as far as me choosing my my counsel, you know.
Um I and I like how you um you asked all the other defendants in this in your courtroom after they had already plead guilty, which I never knew I had put in a plea. And if I did, unknowingly, I would like to withdraw it. But you put it you put it in a way that said, "Were you um were you satisfied with your um with your with your with your um with your defense council?
" And um you know, I'm not satisfied whatsoever, you And um I don't want to disrespect her cuz she's a very I think she's a very bright there's just some lack of communication as um she said there was also um there's also uh conflict with morals values and um standards also you know and um I said I don't want to say anything else ma'am I I do my intentions are um to obtain counsel outside that even if I got to go sell a kidney to come up with some money or something you know um I think it's in my best like I said exercise my right in in this matter. You know, it seems that um apparently I'm not wasting anybody's time. You know, you guys have all the time in the world and um just thank you for not cutting me off and allow me to um make my defense on the record and u my intentions are are straightforward and that's all I have to say, ma'am.
Okay. So, Mr Marquez, you you started out by saying that you wanted to exercise your right to remain silent, but then you said a lot. Yes, ma'am.
I need to make sure that I'm understanding what you said and how you want to proceed. So earlier when you were speaking over me, you were making statements to the effect of that you wanted to address courtappointed counsel and continuing with courtappointed counsel. So then this time I asked you if that's what you wanted to do and then I wasn't clear on what you want to do because then you also followed up with perhaps intimating that you wanted to hire counsel and uh also indicating dissatisfaction with current counsel.
So I need to know clearly from you what are you asking for something? Um I would like said to obtain u alternative counsel u you know I um I don't want to keep going around in circles. I just at this point I know it's in my best interest.
I like I said I don't I didn't go to law school you know but I do have a brain between my ears to know um right and wrong and um you know acts of good intentions and evil intentions you know and um I just want to exercise all my rights. I don't I it's not my intention. It's not my I do not knowingly wave any of my rights you know uh in your courtroom man.
And I I would just ask for the the respect also you know and um and I'm sure you guys got cameras. you guys and you can hear what's going on and what's being said. You know, I'm not here to make a mockery of your courtroom, ma'am.
You know, I'm just here to um you know, um exercise my rights and u prepare my defense and you know, this is a pretty serious case and um I I don't take it lightly, ma'am. And um that I those are my intentions that I'm hope that I that was sufficient enough to um answer your question. Okay.
When you say that you want to pursue alternate counsel, are you saying that you want to pursue hiring private counsel or are you asking the court to appoint alternate defense counsel as courtappointed counsel? Yes, ma'am. Um the second option, um my circumstances have really changed since this um incident happened, you know.
Um it it took I took a real big financial hit. So um I'm pretty much homeless. you know, I'm staying where I can stay and um uh I've been staying sober, you know, uh even though it's been a crazy, you know, um crazy crazy um road and I'm just trying to um just do the right thing.
And those are my intents. If you could appoint um alternative counsel, I I don't know where I can come up with the money, but um man, I believe in Jesus. I believe in a miracle God, you know, and um and my God-given rights, you know, that and I just want to exercise those and do the right thing.
And um I'll find a way to come up. I I'm not saying I can, you know, I don't want to come back in your courtroom and waste your time when you do have a full courtroom like this. I know you guys are you guys are hungry.
You guys are bottoms are probably hurting from sitting sitting all these hours. I really didn't know these proceedings last this long. And I I do commend you for your um you know your your your your duties, ma'am.
And um those are my intentions. If you can that would be um be a blessing, you know, so we can move forward and not move around in circles in this matter. So sir, um when you're on bond, you are entitled to courtappointed counsel provided you are determined to be indigent and you qualify for courtapp appointed counsel.
The office of the public defender was appointed based on a determination that you qualify for courtappointed counsel. When that happens, the court appoints the office of the public defender who then assigns a particular attorney. I don't have control over the office of the public defenders assignments.
So who in that office gets assigned is not within my purview. If you are asking that I appoint someone outside of the office of public defender, the only way that I can do that is if there is a finding of a legal or ethical conflict with the office of public defender representing you. Are you asserting a legal or ethical conflict?
Definitely. As uh as reflected on the record earlier when I spoke about the conflicts that we've um experienced, there was more than one. Well, again, because we were talking over each other, I I don't know what those conflicts you're asserting.
I can restate them. I'm going to give you a chance now to tell me what you believe the conflicts are. Yes.
Uh to begin with, it was a breakdown of communication. Um, I was under the impression that uh that I didn't wasn't going to rave my rights. I I didn't want to be bribed, you know, be take a deal from the uh and I don't want to disrespect the courtroom anyway.
I just want to be straight and um, you know, honest. I didn't want to um take a deal on this matter. I wanted to prepare my defense and I didn't want to exercise my right to speedy trial.
the ethical, like I said, there was a um there was a conflict of just values, morals, and I just want to leave it like that. Like I said, no disrespect, and also standards that um that we didn't see eye to eye on, you know, and um let me guess, you wanted her to argue that the court lacked jurisdiction over the free and living man, and she wouldn't do it. Out of due respect to Miss Wallace, um I would like to leave it blunt as that and um just kind of move forward from there.
But if you do need me to go into more detail, I would hesit hesitantly do so. You mentioned a breakdown in communication. Can you describe to me what that looks like?
Uh yes, ma'am. um since the beginning, ma'am. Um emails, uh I was with without a phone for a little while cuz like I said, the um the situation kind of put me in a financial bind.
Um just trying to stay, you know, um find a place to stay. um um it's taken a while for her to respond back and when it's do respond back is very brief and the very little communication that we do have we don't see eye to eye and um and I'm very respectful I've never um never disrespected her I've always kept my um my thoughts and my feelings to myself and kept it very professional even she um invited me to her office too and um I was always very respectful I just the communication part is that um even like last She described also that she was she left messages and trying to get a hold of me and um and I left messages too. I've left emails um to her and I've never recently as far as emails.
The last communication that we had was a few weeks ago and I knew that this was a deposition hearing and I was requesting that she would um just doare do more as far as preparing my defense as far as filing certain motions. I mentioned more than one motion and um and I know she has her own intentions and um her own plan of defense, but there was only one motion that was entered and um I don't think that's sufficient. What motions do you think should be filed that weren't more than one of them?
uh you know I I understand her point of view and I just um and I don't want to go that I don't want to um like I said I I want to keep keep my responses short and I like I said and um so other than the number of motions were there additional motions that you believe should have been filed um I'm not I don't go to law school ma'am you know and um I don't want to um answer a loaded question you know that's why I do wish that you um grant that I do obtain private counsel outside the defender's office so I don't have to sit here and defend myself when I have the right the god-given right to have counsel and um you know that's why they go to school that's why they um and I I'm sure that you're you're aware ma'am you're you're you're very experienced ma'am and um one one one motion does not suffice you know it's u es especially in preparing Um, and I don't even know if they're criminal uh it's a criminal case, if it's a um a civil case. Um I I really don't know what's going on to be honest with you. Okay.
But uh I I I am not a fool. I don't you know I have enough sense to um know that this is not right. The other conflict you asserted is you asserted a conflict in morals and values.
Yes, ma'am. What is What do you mean by that? Do I have to answer these questions, ma'am, for you to make grant make your decision?
Yeah, I have to make a determination on if there is a conflict of interest. Well, can she answer that though? You know, why do I have to be questioned when I I have the right to uh the fifth amendment right to uh remain silent and I'm being forced in your courtroom to wait hours to make this response when we could have and I understand we could have um cleared it up.
I just this ain't right, man. You know, and I I just want that on the record. And um like I said, I don't want to um disrespect her.
I wanted to keep it keep it short. But can you answer can you have her answer those questions before I have to give up my right to remain silent for you to make your judgment? I am going to give Miss Walls an opportunity to speak, but I'm trying to figure out what you're asserting the conflict is first.
So, this is your time to speak. You don't have to speak, but you're the one that's asserting the conflict. Is this is this a criminal or a civil case?
Ma'am, you've been charged criminally. Criminally, is there uh is this um is this under common law, sir? What kind would you like to make any I'm just trying to figure out uh I've never been fully um advised of these charges.
I'm trying to figure out what uh jurisdiction that your courtroom has, ma'am. if it's under common law or uh the US constit US constitution grants you uh two jurisdictions under common law or if there's also the maritime um a maritime law and I want to know what to um this jurisdiction has your courtroom has. Well, we aren't in the 1700s anymore, so it's not common law.
And if you look under your feet, you'll notice that you're not standing in water, so it's not maritime either. The court is there to uphold statutory law. So it's statutory jurisdiction as empowered by the US Constitution and state of Colorado constitution.
Is there any other record you want to make on the conflict? None. That's already been made.
Ma'am. Okay. Miss Wallace.
And you never answer my question. I just trying to figure out I'm going to answer your question right now. I'm trying to get through the conflict determination.
Yes, ma'am. So that's what we're doing. Would I be able to be advised and proceed forward with every u was this a dis disposition hearing that I was supposed to come today?
I'll never know. You said I'm gonna ask you to stop talking. Yes, ma'am.
I asked you if there was any other record on the conflict. You said no. I'm going to finish this issue first.
Yes, ma'am. Would I be able to the extent that Mr Marquez has raised issues regarding a conflict, I'm finding a waiver of attorney client privilege related to the statements he's made? What's the issue with communication or do you have a response regarding communications?
So there as Mr Marquez explained um he didn't have a cell phone for some time. Um so once we had the accurate phone number we have corresponded via phone call and text. Um we have also had one office meeting where we've discussed discovery and trial strategy.
Um, also Mr Marquez is mentioning emails. I don't recall. He may have sent me emails.
I don't recall off the top of my head. I could pull them up what they were or what the responses to them were, but um, I have attempted to reach him via phone call and sometimes I reach him and other times I leave a voicemail and that's the extent of our communication. Okay.
Are you able and willing to schedule and set up additional meetings? Yes, our last phone call was on July 2nd. Is there anything further regarding add regarding communication?
No. Okay. Um, without knowing what specifically the conflict he's asserting regarding morals and values, is there any record you would make on that?
Um, no. Okay. Okay.
Mr Marquez, as I indicated, you have courtappointed counsel. The only way the court can withdraw the office of the public defender and appoint alternate defense council is if the court is able to make a finding that there's a legal or ethical conflict with the office of the public defender to continue to represent you. You've asserted two separate conflicts.
One is a breakdown in communication. Based on the record before me, your statements and council statements, I'm not finding there's a breakdown in communication. SW has indicated that there has been communication.
And there may there might be a dispute on whether some emails um whether she received them or not. She's able and willing to set up appointments with you to continue to prepare the case, go over discovery, whatever it is that you want to talk about, including asking asking questions or answering questions like is this a criminal case, civil case, etc. That's what your attorney is there for.
I would like to proceed. Prod issue or asserted conflict. Do you say a conflict in morals and values?
I understand you've already made your decision, ma'am. I don't mean to interrupt you, but you don't have to waste your time anymore. Ma'am, we are going to pause your case again and recall it.
Don't interrupt. I'm not trying to, ma'am, but I understand your intentions and you've already made your decision based on how you started. I just like to proceed prosay like my god-given right.
I don't have to um be forced to give in counsel from the public defender. I I can defend myself. Jesus is my defender.
Ma'am, Mr Marcus, stop interrupting. I'm going to finish the record I'm making as to the second conflict that you've asserted, the conflict in morals and values. You provided no additional information that would allow me to make any sort of conflict determination.
Um, certainly to make the record that suffices. Mr Marquez, if you interrupt me one more time, I will find you in direct contempt. And that too would be under statutory jurisdiction, just in case you were wondering.
One more time. This is your warning. I'll find you in direct contempt.
Don't interrupt me. I gave you a chance to speak. I gave you all the time you wanted to speak.
It is my turn. court does not find that Mr Marquez has articulated a legal or ethical conflict by a bare conclusory assertion that there's a conflict in morals and values as to the waiver of rights and assertion that he wants speedy trial. Speedy trial was set for December 7.
We're happy I'm happy to set a hearing um a jury trial within speedy trial as to the assertion as whether or not particular motions should be filed. Again, that does not rise to the level of conflict. Which motions are filed or strategy decision that is made by council.
Um, and there's [clears throat] no specific determination whether one motion is appropriate or 20 motions are appropriate. Those are decisions that council makes based on their ethical and professional rules and they are the ones that make the determination on what motions are to be filed. You have not entered any other plea except not guilty.
So you have reserved a right to a jury trial and to a speedy jury trial. So your motion for alternate defense council to be appointed is denied. Your options at this time, sir, are to proceed with council as appointed.
If you want to go prosay, I need to give you an advisement on that. So we'll have to pass the matter again and I'll prepare that advisement. You are then also as a third option able to um hire private counsel outside of courtappointed or prosay proceedings.
Do you understand the three options? You may answer. You don't understand.
Did you say you don't understand? Okay. Which option don't you understand?
Understand how I'm forced to um I don't understand your ruling at all, ma'am. And I don't think that I don't understand. You don't understand my ruling or you don't understand your options?
Option. Which option is all of them? Be honest with you.
I I really don't know, man. That's why I'm trying to find somebody that outside the public defenders office that actually has good intentions and has the uh has um you know um that's all I got to say man. My exercise is my right to uh to remain silent from this from here on out.
Okay. Uh is there any further explanation you want me to give on your options? Yes or no?
Okay. Are you just going to remain silent for the remainder of the hearing? You're nodding your head.
Yes. Okay. I'm going to have courtapp appointed council Miss Wallace.
You'll continue as council of record based on the statements made previously. Understanding the people have a request to continue the motions hearing date. Yes, your honor.
Why don't we set the jury trial? Are you denying my the request to be prosay though? Are you giving up your fifth amendment right to shut the hell up?
And yes, she can deny your right to prosay representation if you choose to remain silent since you have to speak to defend yourself. Let's set the jury trial first. Speedy trial is January.
It's already been set, hasn't it though, ma'am? 26. Is that right?
No, December 7. December 7th is what I'm showing as well. Do you agree, Miss Wallace?
I do. How many days for trial? I think two or three days.
I agree. Maybe three just to be on the safe side, but likely two. Can I say one last thing, ma'am?
Hold on, sir. Please. Hold on, sir.
You want to do November three? That works for the defense. That works for the people.
Did you say three to be safe or four? Three to be safe. 3-day jury trial scheduled to begin November 3 at 8:30 in this courtroom.
How many jurors do you think? Just a standard panel. 55 or 50 50 50 jurors will be requested and then based on that when do we want to try and reset motions hearing up to you your honor the parties conferred in advance and um if the court is able we were looking at the 11th of September.
That works for you, Miss Wallace. It does. Okay.
Friday's hearing is vacated. I'll grant the people's request to continue the motions hearing date based on unavailability. Um I did not I don't consent to that.
Sir, Mr Marquez, hold on. Except for September 11 at 8:30 for motions hearing. Mr Marquez, your bond is continued until all of those dates and times.
I'm going to defer setting a pre-trial conference until we resolve the motions. There's only one motion from Turn to Mr Marquez again. Is there anything further by council?
Yeah. Yes, ma'am. No, your honor.
Not from the defense. No. Okay.
Mr Marquez, is there something you wanted to address? Yes, ma'am. when you when you gave me those three options, I already I already chose and elected my right to to uh remain prosay thus far.
And the record the record could reflect that response before you even talked about. As a matter of fact, I I entered your courtroom demanding that I exercise my right as prosay. What's being done is an injustice, ma'am.
And it's quite quite you know what's being done and um the the record shows that ma'am you know um I don't understand why you know you're such an intelligent woman you're forcing forcing me to give up my rights and I don't I don't do that man when I first entered this courtroom I told you I elect to be prosay before you ever gave me any options and then threatened me to be in contempt of court ma'am I I've been the most respectful person I sat there waited waited six hours waited and um just for me to to give you those two lines that I I I I exercise my right to be proay when I first entered your bench this morning at 10:30 this morning. But you've also asked for alternate defense counsel as well as private defense counsel along with demanding to represent yourself. You can choose any one of those three options, but you can't have all of them as actor.
Uh you just one other thing ma'am like I you know um and I I know you are you're a judge you know and I just I really hope that you do the right thing in this matter and um yeah you know um yeah cuz um you know there is a commission that you you know everybody's held accountable you know not just by people that are higher up but God God himself you know and um those are the god-given rights that are exercised ma'am you have the constitution right behind you ma'am and um you you made an oath everybody in this in this courtroom has made an oath oath uh to uphold that declaration, ma'am. And um it's not being upheld. And that's all I have to say.
God bless you. And um this is not right. Okay, sir.
You have your next court dates. I'm going to say this. Um you don't get to come into court and interrupt and start yelling demands from the back of the courtroom.
That's what you did this morning. When we tried to call your case, you would not stop interrupting. That's why we paused it because I had a very large docket and I needed to get through some other matters.
I only threatened you with contempt of court this last time because you again kept interrupting me even though I had advised you several times to stop doing that. I've set all of your court dates. If you want to think about whether or not you want to proceed prosay or in some other fashion, I want you to think about that.
When I tried to make that determination here this afternoon, you indicated that you didn't understand your options. You indicated that you weren't going to answer any questions. You closed your mouth, would not respond except by nodding.
Um, so if you want to think about how you want to proceed, you can do that. You can always ask to add on early. If you want to address a particular issue, your council can tell you how to add on early or do that for you.
But at this time, based on the record before me today and your failure and unwillingness to answer questions regarding how you want to proceed, we're going to continue with counsel. Um, unless another matter is reraised. Anything further?
Not from the people. Okay, we have your court dates, right, man? You got Everybody knows this.
You guys do that all day. Nobody wants to say nothing either. You guys want to laugh about it.
That's not cool at all. I bless everybody, man. you know, pray in Jesus mighty name over all you guys' lives, man.
That you know, we all had to go to bed and sleep at night. God bless you. And uh you too, sir, man.
God bless you, too, man. You want to laugh about it? God bless you, man.
Guys, have a wonderful afternoon. Have a good lunch. God bless you.
Bye. Have a great time. All right, guys.
