Most judges don't care how active you are in your kid's life. I pray to have a judge like this if I ever get in trouble (and yes, no matter how good you think you are you're capable of getting put in jail)
Thank you judge Simpson Gor not taking this obviously over whelmed and depressed father's plea to jail...he didn't even know the sentence. So many people criticize judges... But here is a case where a judge heard it ALL!
Heartbreaking. Everything wrong with the US justice system right there, stuck in the system, beaten by it and given up. Some bloody brave comments by the Judge, kudos.
12 mins into this one and tbh it just feels sad. I mean I rarely feel this way when watching these videos but I just feel sad for the guy. He sounds totally lost and asking for jail time not undertstanding how that will effect his kid or even knowing it was for a year. Def some bad life choices made and having a kid at 20 years old.. wonder where his parents were. Dunno sounds like he honestly needs some time and guidance to set him on some sort of direction on where to go.
His parents were there, he lived with his mother until October of 23. As far as the kid, and this is why Judge Simpson wanted more time, he has already been removed from his kid due to pretrial conditions.
He can’t do them in jail either. When you have a probation system that makes people choose jail over it, and this is not the first time I have seen someone prefer to sit it out, it is time to examine the probation system. He can’t afford it, he will go broke trying to pay the fees, and jump through all the hoops and probably end up in jail anyway. I have known people who got stuck in the probation cycle for years from one dumb mistake.
@@joeg1992you absolutely can do them in jail. It’s even easier to get than in the streets, because you don’t have to leave your home to go get them. People overdose in there all the time.
@joeg1992 let me say, as someone who unfortunately had relatives go to jail and prison. That's where you can get more drugs, not less. Some of the biggest dope dealers in jail and prison are the guards and kitchen staff. It's brought in by mail, visitors, and lawyers as well. He probably knows that.
I am looking forward to part 2 of this case. This young man seems, sounds, and speaks, like a good individual. I pray with some help and support from the justice system he will successfully complete whatever sentence is imposed by Judge Simpson, be completely rehabilitated and not become a repeat offender but a great asset to society. I hope the justice system will work with him and help out this dude. If you’re reading this bro, God bless and best of luck! Don’t ever give up, you got this!
I personally know of someone that did that. He said he couldn't walk off the probation and didn't want to risk violation after violation. He wanted to stay in jail instead and get it over with. Sad😢
Perhaps this was a clever negotiating tactic on the defendants part to avoid the possibility of prison by goading the judge into following the agreement...
Interesting case. The judge is going to look into his situation. I hope there’s a follow-up. He was scheduled to have his son but his mom is taking his place for him now that she’s moved away. Now he doesn’t and can’t see his son at all. 😮😮😢😢. He does sound depressed.
Ain’t no way I would want to sit and get dragged in jail!!! I’m not high maintenance but I’m certainly not low maintenance either! He should get some therapy and the probation should be combined
The judge is baffled. But the more i watched this, i kinda see why he's requesting this because he just wants to be a father and not have to worry about probation too, he wants to be a man a be there for his kid. Simpsons gonna fix that real quick. 👏🏿 👏🏿
REALLY? YOU HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD KID:AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR JAIL???ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!IN TREATMENT & WORKING ?GROW UP AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROBLEMS!!! OR ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO BREAK THE LAW!!!??? I FEEL SORRY FOR THE 7 YEAR OLD YOUNG MAN;FATHER BREAKING THE LAW,WANTS JAIL INSTEAD OF BEING PRESENT FOR YOUR SON!!! 12:42 YOU'RE RIGHT JUDGE,THIS GUY NEEDS MORE THAN HISTORY LESSONS!!!
Stop it. This young man is lonely, depressed and sad. He doesn’t see his son, he works full time but finds it hard to manage with that and his Probation obligations. He just wants it all to stop and thought that jail would give him peace. It wouldn’t, and the Judge realises that.
No, he said it at the beginning, probation is expensive, he can’t afford it and it can go on for years of being broke under the crazy fees and hops to jump through. Sometimes you bit the bullet and get it behind you. He can’t smoke for the year in jail either, learn some logic.
@ , he didn’t realize the jail term was for a year and was backtracking when that was said. He said he wouldn’t do well on probation. That’s because it usually includes more than a few years and drug testing. He also made no sense whatsoever when talking.
This video shows that, first, our education system is a failing so many people, second, our justice system is failing so many people, lastly, we need more mental health awareness and services. His public defender should step up and put into words what the defendant is unable to explain. Why would he choose jail over probation? Example: Jail- one year and done. Time served, nothing more required. Probation- various fees charged for administration, drug screens, etc. Need to go to probation office at certain intervals (weekly, monthly, whatever). The time and cost to participate in probation is not free nor cheap. Also, probation might be 2-3 years instead of the one year of jail. Not to mention, corrupt power hungry probation officers that will look for any reason to violate someone. (I’m not saying all or even most are like that, but, definitely some are. Same with police. You know this to be true.) Needless to say, a defendant may have a desire to totally comply with conditions of probation and obey all laws, and jail will still be the less impactful option. Sadly.
Looks likw who😂 i guess. Anyway many people choose flat jail 1yr get out off paper free and clear. You get a yr probation they put a 2 yr sentence if you violate so you deal with probation in your shit till you finally piss dirty and end up sitting 2yrs anyway
Dude is stupid, tired, lazy, and just over his life. I get it but he could be so much better. His kid deserves better. I hope he becomes better for his son one day.
Poor parenting is the source of all these young people being irresponsible and entitled! What this country needs to do is have a mandatory "boot camp" requirement. Every 18 year old must attend 2 mos of "boot camp", where they learn to appreciate the value of being an American and be taught to be part of a team and a 1st responder to their local community; be taught to be a good citizen and pass the same test a naturalize citizen must pass. And be held accountable for their choices and suffer the consequences of bad choices.
I agree with the boot camp idea, but should be at least 6 months for Everyone., maybe up to 1 or 2 years, depending on criminal history.And education to pass a citizenship test and mandatory technical school to gain a marketable skill.
@@penname40 Well, basic training would only take 2-3 months. Additional training could be available upon request as an option, not mandatory. This is American after all, not a dictatorship, unless Trump gets his way.
Dude sounds depressed
Judge Simpson is amazing! Calling him out was the right thing to do! 💪
Most judges don't care how active you are in your kid's life. I pray to have a judge like this if I ever get in trouble (and yes, no matter how good you think you are you're capable of getting put in jail)
Thank you judge Simpson Gor not taking this

Thank God for men like Judge Simpson talking to these young men who obviously have never had a father in their life. 😮

He sounds completely overwhelmed by life in general.

Wow! Unbelievable this judge has empathy
Probation means he can’t do drugs or alcohol. That’s why he wants jail instead.
Exactly 💯

@@joeg1992 You most certainly can get drugs in jail, and he knows this. Texas DoC is infamous for graybar smuggling.

He's wanting Help ❗

Bro finessed the judge…. He ain’t NEVA getting locked up again lol
This defendant is Uninformed and dumb not stupid. Wishing him counseling and forced education.
Can’t even put a complex sentence together.. Serious cognitive deficits here..
Dude sounds like he's given up all hope! Seems uninformed by counsel & deeply depressed! Very sad! Useless defence! 😢
Defence are there to advocate but clients have free will.
I cannot remember anyone asking to be sent to jail.
I personally know of someone that did that. He said he couldn't walk off the probation and didn't want to risk violation after violation. He wanted to stay in jail instead and get it over with. Sad😢
It’s called sitting it out. I have seen people sit to avoid the probation cycle, I have seen them do it for the fees they can’t afford.
Perhaps this was a clever negotiating tactic on the defendants part to avoid the possibility of prison by goading the judge into following the agreement...
Why can’t you stop breaking the law, dude?
I’ll give you three guesses
This kid can’t even communicate with anyone.
Interesting case. The judge is going to look into his situation. I hope there’s a follow-up. He was scheduled to have his son but his mom is taking his place for him now that she’s moved away. Now he doesn’t and can’t see his son at all. 😮😮😢😢. He does sound depressed.
Ain’t no way I would want to sit and get dragged in jail!!! I’m not high maintenance but I’m certainly not low maintenance either! He should get some therapy and the probation should be combined
Speak Up and Speak Right 😮
I can't understand him, I don't know how the judge can. Maybe it's just the microphone.
He thinks jail would be easier than probation I guess
The judge is baffled. But the more i watched this, i kinda see why he's requesting this because he just wants to be a father and not have to worry about probation too, he wants to be a man a be there for his kid. Simpsons gonna fix that real quick. 👏🏿 👏🏿
Probation is too hard for him. He can’t follow the rules of probation
He shouldn‘t be willing to comply with the terms of probation. If he wants probation or deferred, he MUST comply!
Have him look into the history of probation and see that the likelihood of that 1 year and done could easily turn in to 5-10+ years.
At least he is honest. No bs. Accepts life.
REALLY? YOU HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD KID:AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR JAIL???ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!IN TREATMENT & WORKING ?GROW UP AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROBLEMS!!!

This guy seems to be a few tacos short of a pack???
I think this is the first time I've felt sorry for someone on this channel. He needs father figure guidance DESPERATELY.
Only cares about what's in his best interests without even considering the needs of his child
Stop it. This young man is lonely, depressed and sad. He doesn’t see his son, he works full time but finds it hard to manage with that and his Probation obligations.
He just wants it all to stop and thought that jail would give him peace. It wouldn’t, and the Judge realises that.
He wants to get this case over to get back to smoking weed without any consequences. He knows the drug testing will not go well!
No, he said it at the beginning, probation is expensive, he can’t afford it and it can go on for years of being broke under the crazy fees and hops to jump through. Sometimes you bit the bullet and get it behind you. He can’t smoke for the year in jail either, learn some logic.

@ are you the one who is high? Those were not the things that concerned the judge, watch it again.
*When he found this out*
Just a friendly grammar correction. ✌🏻❤️&🤘🏻

Don’t be ridiculous
