Jesus so many prosecutors are out for BLOOD it's ridiculous... They'll try to make ANY accusations against a defendant sound as BAD as possible in front of a judge even without probable cause... That's sad... Our system is fucked!
fyi, the prosecutors are handed a stack of these and sent into these. These are probable cause to actually move forward. This is on the cops arresting this dude, not the prosecutor who was handled the file. They're supposed to zealously and intelligently move forward with the case they were handed if there are probably cause. Notice how it's always the same people? It's just the job, they represent the interest of the state and victims. They come back in every day with no hard feelings for the judge or the defendants. They will argue the case as best htey can but if the cops are shit, the assistant DA they make do this shit.. doesn't really care. It's actually pretty rare that the judge is annoyed at the state moving forward. you can see this a lot in the various things, he doesn't talk down to the people or insult their intelligence. He knows they're just presenting what they were given and that's the best they've got. These cases get handed to them.. pretty much the morning they're presenting this for the probably cause hearing.
@@Folsomdsf2 "They will argue the case as best htey can but if the cops are shit, the assistant DA they make do this shit.. doesn't really care." And that's the root problem behind these videos. The system needs to change so that they do care and they do examine the case records before they present them in court.
@@reginabillotti The DA dismisses cases all the time for lack of evidence or issues like this. But that happens after probable cause. They probably like this judge. He takes out the loser cases for them and saves them the hassle. I have seen for more serious cases this judge is no where near as nice to the defendants.
I am so FREAKING TIRED of these prosecutors wasting court time with this BS. They know better. How about a little common sense. IF this was legit then where is the officer and where is the injured party? TOTAL BS.
The cops are sloppy. The prosecutor who barely reviews the case beforehand is forced to go to probable cause and defend their slop like a debate team member forced to defend a point of view he doesn't agree with. I imagine they're actually glad to lose this one.
no it's not the judge even said it: assault is a specific intent crime, meaning that (say, unlike a traffic violation) you have to intend to do the action in any event "assault" and "battery" do not have a consistent definitions in the penal codes of different states: for example, in New York State there is no crime named "battery" and assault requires actual injury, meaning if you shove someone and they aren't harmed it isn't assault, whereas in Florida "assault" is intentionally putting someone in credible fear of injury and battery is any unwanted touching -- the wording is " against the will of the other" -- no injury required
The police officer: “he was drinking while driving” vogue statement! Prosecutor: “he was drinking alcohol while driving”. Defendant Lawyer: “he was drinking some juice while driving” The driver: “I don’t drink!” Once scenario, four different observervation and stories!
Do these people even read the charges before taking it to court??!! Seems to me they should get in trouble for wasting the courts time but I know they won't!
All in all though I think judge Fleischer made a good call stating no probable cause in this particular case... He may be a very strict judge but he is also very FAIR... I like that...
In the incident, the defendant was obviously in the wrong and the complainant was obviously in the right. When she got hurt in the scuffle she had the right to get angry and the law enforcement taking her side was understandable. What is questionable is that they then write this non-case up to test it in court. Maybe they just wanted to cause the guy enough trouble to wake him up and additionally get lectured by the judge, and also not openly decline the complainant's request? If so they succeeded. I hope he learned his lesson.

Why can't our Judicial System have more Judges like this man?
Because that would be bad for the business of the criminal organization known as the prison-industrial complex.
@@ericomartins9794you are so correct.
And the cops and distract attorney offices that get so many of their hours paid for by stupid shit. @@ericomartins9794
Actually there are more judges like Judge Fleischer than you might realize.
I'm shocked the judge didn't say, "what, hugging while black now?"
Lmao!
That was my first thought. The officer should be charged.

You know the D.A. and cops dislike this judge.
This goes to show how often police make arrests without proper probably cause.

The prosecutor was so mad. I love it
Criminals file false reports like this. Not police officers.
Defendant is guilty of hugging in the first degree... 😂
she was BIG MAD! im glad you saw that..i was wondering how many people who catch her attitude..like im calling my mom!
...while black.
This guy should run for office except we need him here making a difference holding jim crow accountable.
He did, he's an elected judge :)

The prosecutor's office seems constantly sloppy. It's not the first time Judge Fleischer has to correct them and do that. That's odd.
it's the cops, not the prosecutors -- the prosecutors can only work with what the cops bring them

These DAs and cops are ignorant!
Stupid Cop and even more stupid DA. Why take up this case????
This is the difference between assault and battery. Intent.
no it's not
the judge even said it: assault is a specific intent crime, meaning that (say, unlike a traffic violation) you have to intend to do the action
in any event "assault" and "battery" do not have a consistent definitions in the penal codes of different states: for example, in New York State there is no crime named "battery" and assault requires actual injury, meaning if you shove someone and they aren't harmed it isn't assault, whereas in Florida "assault" is intentionally putting someone in credible fear of injury and battery is any unwanted touching -- the wording is " against the will of the other" -- no injury required
Battery isn't defined in Texas because in Texas threats and physical violence are both charged as assault.
The police officer: “he was drinking while driving” vogue statement!
Prosecutor: “he was drinking alcohol while driving”.
Defendant Lawyer: “he was drinking some juice while driving”
The driver: “I don’t drink!”
Once scenario, four different observervation and stories!
All the RUclips legal experts in the comments section make me giggle.
Be happy, be nice. Luv it.
Did Hemingway or Tolkien write that police report?
It’s well written.
A judge that doesn't like his court being jammed up with frivolous bullshit.
Do these people even read the charges before taking it to court??!! Seems to me they should get in trouble for wasting the courts time but I know they won't!
Here's a guy trying to do the right thing! Police again make things worse!
The complainant has a solid civil case. But there is no criminal case here.
I know we only get to see a fraction of the cases but it seems like the DA stumble over themselves quite a bit trying to push the case through.
They are never prepared..it blows me away everyday that they go before this judge everyday and still are ignorant to what’s going to happen.
would be interesting if you did some FOIA request for bodycam videos for some of your videos, see what the police observed and what they did write :)
Bad news, Houston is the largest department still not doing bodycams.

What scuffle?
Sounds like something a bot would say
no one is arguing the defendant is wrong here but goodness gracious he gonna go to jail for that? ABSOLUTE MADNESS AND A WASTE OF RESOURCES!
@ He has no hope for getting into jail for that. That degree of madness has yet to be reached in this court.
Just let Diddy go,he fell on those people by accident.
What? Man stfu y'all just say anything
lmao!
