@@kenwilson3872 The difference between the 2 sentences was that the first 20 years would allow him to get out at 15 years while the second sentence required a minimum of 20 years served. I disagree that they even made that deal with him because he felt that he was entitled to do whatever he wanted and Jesus would forgive him and force the judge to forgive him.
That guy isn't a sovcit. He thought he could outsmart the system. As the judge said the guy ain't a dummie. But clearly influence of his mother and the surrounding culture brought him to the place where he is now.
I’ve been a trial attorney for 15 years. . Every new Judge should be required to watch this before they are sworn in. I can’t think of a single thing to not pick. He was overly patient. Intelligent. Respectful. Logical. And his demeanor was perfect. Absolute professional.
I agree with you. A total professional. He may have been ready to yank his hair out. He never let in that he was. I have watched these types of proceedings on YT. Judges having had enough of the nonsense sometimes blow their tops. This Judge was amazing
I agree that he was completely professional, but when it comes to sovereign citizens, is it really worth being this patient? I just tried searching to see if they ever change their views on their beliefs and couldn't find anything. I would think it would just be better to hold them in contempt of court instead of listening to their ramblings? Am I being too harsh? What's your thoughts/experience with sovereign citizens?
@@sirpsionics You aren't necessarily being too harsh. In my humble opinion, when defendant's are polite and respectful, Judges should reciprocate. This defendant was attempting to be respectful but he had the mistaken belief that he was correct. It's wild that this man with zero legal training or education would argue with a Judge that graduated from Harvard law. As far as sovereign citizens go, I've only ever represented one. If you're watching this channel you probably know that most sovereign citizens don't want an attorney b/c they believe the court has no jurisdiction over them. This is nonsense b/c a court has personal jurisdiction over anyone physically located in that jurisdiction. If you're in Cobb County, Georgia, the Cobb county court has jurisdiction over you. Period. Every law student learns this as a 1L in civil procedure. The only sovereign citizen I represented went about as you would expect. His family hired me and I had no idea he was "sovereign" or I would have told his family to find someone else. I didn't find this out until I met with him in county jail. I told him he should let the guards know he was sovereign and he shouldn't be in there. He told me he already did that. I smiled and said, "well it looks like you aren't as sovereign as you thought. He fired me shortly after that which was EXACTLY what I was hoping for. LOL.
I'm not even a Christian, and I still find it offensive the way he hides behind the Bible in a pathetic attempt to avoid responsibility for his crimes.
Same here, and even I know that one the ten commandments refers to following the laws of the land. That kind of throws the whole hiding behind religion thing out of the window
I AM a Christian, and I agree with you totally. He is a disgrace to the Name of Jesus, which he abuses and takes in vain in order to avoid the punishment of breaking the law. This is not acceptable!
Same here, I was not raised with religion, I respect that religion is a personal choice, and thought it should be a source of peace and solice and spiritual growth. Sadly I hear it being used to relinquish all responsibility for bad behaviour when it suits. It's all about MY RIGHTS until oops.... I'm in trouble with the law so nope, it must have been God's will....... It's incredibly sad.
@@Reviloj While we all wish that the judge could shut him up, the judge's job is to ensure that the verdict stands on appeal. He did a marvelous job in that regard. The dude completely ended up with the wrong judge.
@@bambesfresser Agreed. I was a bit frustrated but I understood. If it were a traffic ticket the judge would've ended it sooner. Seeing as this is a major case involving the possibility of many years behind bars, its the judge's job to make sure the defendant was giving all the fairness allowed.
@moondancer6488 I have a friend who's actually glad he spent the 16 years inside. "if i'd gotten out after a few years, i wouldn't have learned anything."
And the judge is more than happy to let him stay in the government motel. If the name doesn't belong to Mr Pritchert why is Mr Pritchert responding to the judge
Isn't this attitude more than enough to show he is mentally incompetent, and needs to have a lawyer appointed for him, and just hold the trial as though he wasn't present, because he's not present mentally!
It’s the classic Three Stooges “Who’s on first? What’s on second.” defence. It’s designed to delay and possibly get declared mentally incompetent. He even pretends to read the Bible during the zoom appearance from the remand centre when his mate was fronting the court. It’s all an act.
OMG, I hated this judge soooo much! It felt to me like he was so ridiculous with this moronic defendant. I may be the odd one out, I see others having a very different opinion about him than me. Some food for thought for me.
@@celiamoreno7745 I feel like it would be incredibly difficult to keep the court proceedings moving forward with this defendant... I don't know if his tactic was to get his case thrown out, or was stalling for time, but a lot of people (myself included) wouldn't know how to react when he just keeps repeating himself over and over. Like what can you do with that... and the judge was eventually able to get the bare minimum from him. Like pulling up the bodycam footage to show that he did, in fact, give the cops his name and address or social whatever it was, proving that he referred to himself, as the person he was trying to deny he was. He also showed incredible patience. I think that's why people are saying he's a good judge.
@@celiamoreno7745 No, I agree. The Judge was ... what's the word I'm looking for... "entertaining" this guy's nonsense way too much. The judge needs to be more assertive and just tell the guy "this is how it is, this is how it's going to be", instead of things like repeatedly asking "who do you think has personal jurisdiction over you?". The defendant doesn't think *anybody* does, so why keep asking him?

Suggestion to sovereign citizens: Exercise your right to remain silent. [EDITED FOR CLARITY: I am not an attorney and am not intending to offer "legal advice"]
Unfortunately for anyone who came to believe this junk, basically all seem to have a core requirement of having to say the words from the script for laws/whatever to not apply to you, so remaining silent is not really an option for a true believer.
This is probably the finest judge I’ve ever heard. He doesn’t mock the defendant ever, but he demonstrates a willingness to honor each, and every defendant no matter how absurd they may present themselves. I am absolutely impressed with his respect for the dependent and at the same time have control of his court.
It is very much up to the judge. The supreme court has ruled that the sovereign citizen arguement holds no weight, and that law enforcement and the court system should not waste its time and resources playing the game with them. There are many judges who shut the argument down effectively, and all in differing ways. But a judge should hold an extraordinary level of decorum and honour and fairness no matter who they are, whilst also not playing along with these insincere, conniving, skeevy tricks to try and get away with committing a crime.
I agree. He was amazing. I get a bit frustrated with people representing themselves, sovereign citizen or not. No one is allowed to practice law without a license except when representing yourself. It does no one any favors and is a bit ridiculous.
My only reservation with this judge is that he is a little slow and allows the SovCit too long to keep looping around in dumb circles and doesn't cut him off quickly enough. And he is actually quite snarky, its just done in a subtle way. All his talk of the Good Lord being the guy's attorney is all sarcasm, but the fool doesn't get it.
His mother would ask "What is a birth certificate? I didn't contract with the doctors for them to remove a growing object from the body I may or may not at the alleged time be using."
These are the kinds of idiots that would try to sue their mothers for conceiving them and in turn, giving birth to them without their express consent. 😂
@sharpe34 no literally because "i do not identify with all a name in all capital letters, and the name on this birth certificate is in all capital letters
Right! Also, his social security number his family has been using for taxes, also, school year book with his name and picture…along with his previous mug shot and finger prints from prior conviction
He never once apologized or showed any remorse for the crime in his closing statement. There was nothing to give him but life. He only talked about himself. He is a true narcissistic sociopath.
You saw that too, I laughed as I watched him setting up the space during the 2nd or third court date. He like everyone else in the court was already fed up with his circular BS, but due to his respect for the court and his own position he held back.
Yes, unfortunately. It is quite possible "mother" knew some of the crimes he committed, but never corrected or admonished him. Hence, they're always the "victim" of the system when in reality, they're victims of their poor life choices.
Did none of you guys watch the entire video? He didn't get life. He did get a longer sentence than he was offered in the plea deal, but it wasn't life.
@@PeriwinkleSunrise In my experience, the odds are _EXTREMELY HIGH_ that any accounts with proper first and last names are Al accounts, so of course they don’t watch/understand the videos they comment on. It’s Al - can’t expect much of their abilities to imitate humans.
Why do authorities permit a sovereign citizen to persist with such nonsensical actions? Why isn't he considered mentally unstable? This individual has been consistently tripping over his own feet since he began speaking.
Oh it's not inability, it's a strategic choice that a lot of the SovCit documents tell them to make. Just look at how many times he catches himself about to make a statement, and rephrases it into a question.
@NotJustOnePerson .. Judge: "So again, what name do you wish to be addressed by?" MP: "...again I ask, how can we have a proper hearing again if personal jurisdiction has not been proven."
I love this judge. He knew what’s going on from the very start but chose to let things play out for a bit and then decided that enough is enough. He manages to keep the same mood all the time, it’s really impressive.
@@Puddycat00 i feel he knew what was going on from the very beginning and allowed it to continue very much exactly as long as he wanted - and I got the feeling he rather enjoyed making the guy look stupid for a while.

@Justantoherliz, What are you talking about. The judge let this idiot talk himself into a life sentence from being out in less than 20. By doing exactly what you're complaining about.

Mr. Pritchett, thank you for representing yourself. I think it takes a lot to face these types of charges and move forward with running your defense with absolutely no legal education. You single-handedly ensured that no one else is subject to your reckless and violent behavior for the next 40 years. Tell your other violent cohorts about this and encourage them to go for it.

That's really what all this is about. Judges have to respect citizen's rights to dig their own graves, but to not trample on those rights. This judge displayed a profound understanding of this and executed his proceedings perfectly.

It’s so funny how he holds the Bible up to the camera, isn’t sure if he’s on camera yet, puts the Bible down, doubts himself, and picks the Bible back up. It’s so performative.
The patience this judge has is incredible! He maintained composure and spoke to the defendant with respect. There’s no way I would’ve been able to do that. I would’ve lost my temper. Love this judge!
What's the point of suing him for personal injury? He has nothing you can collect from him even if you win. Filing a lawsuit against someone who has nothing just wastes your own money on a court case that you will never be paid back for.
How ironic!!! He talks about the 10 commandments but commits HORRIBLE crimes and then uses manipulation to try to avoid any and all personal responsibility for his actions.
That’s fairly typical behavior for many religious people. They may not commit horrible crimes like this guy has, but they still don’t abide the message of their chosen religion. It’s the countless religious people who lead hypocritical lives that give organized religion a bad name.
I agree, BUT, lol, he said being in jail is what made him finally “Cry out to, or for, god”. LMAO. He hadn’t started crying out for god while committing those crimes, lol 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Criminals will never learn that “Finding a religion while locked up” will never, ever be an acceptable excuse or explanation for why they should not have to be held accountable and/or responsible for the crimes they committed!!

You robbed some people in Georgia, a Georgia cop arrested you, you're sitting in a Georgia jail and appearing before a Georgia court.... that means Georgia has jurisdiction.
That was no cop. He's a sovereign citizen which makes this a maritime matter. Therefore the entity making the arrest was actually a privateer. Damn road pirates.
When will Sovereign Citizens learn. That crap doesn't work in criminal court. Just ask Darrell Brooks who got one thousand years. Jesus saves from sin not prison.
Excellent comment! I hadn't heard that D. Brooks used a SovCit defence so just looked it up. Every SovCit currently going to trial or who simply exists should read up on that case. Thanks for the info. 😊
Weirdest coincidence ever. The accused, who endlessly claimed his name was NOT Maxx Pritchett, had a character witness speak for him. And she claimed to be his Sister. HER name happened to be Sarah Pritchett. What are the odds.
Obviously there's more than one John Smith so it is incumbent on the court to prove that this man is who they claim him to be. He wants to be called by the secret name on his lawyer and God knows which is his right. If Jesus wasn't available to attend the court hearings, he should have sent his representative, the Pope. I definitely think he should ask the court for a mistrial due to a lack of competent representation. This will probably be one of Trump's request and he has plenty of evidence in every trial that his lawyers were just as incompetent as any religion.
I need to learn to speak like this judge, doesnt matter how crazy the conversation is, maintaining posture and a clear way to talk without getting angry is awesome..
@@duro845 The guy is facing life, and ends up getting 40 years. The judge can spend an extra 10 minutes making sure he understands the proceedings and hearing him out. He cut it off at a reasonable time. This is a very good judge, and he sure wasn't weak during sentencing. He gave the guy every chance to properly defend himself, and gave him a fair and well deserved sentence.
I think he was TOO patient. He allowed this idiot to waste too much time of everyone else in the courtroom, not to mention all of the others on the docket for that day. That defendant was in control of the courtroom.
@@dianedavidson3533At no point was the defendant in control of the courtroom. And very little time was spent indulging the defendant’s crazy talk, no more than an hour.
I think his defense strategy is to bore everyone to death with his endless droning about jurisdiction. The look on the prosecutor and guard's faces says it all!
I have zero sympathy for home invaders. As far as I'm concerned anyone who invades another's home has forfeit their life, whether its spending the rest of their life in prison.
easy there, tough guy. murder's a way worse charge so i'd understand forfeiting their life if they killed someone, but just breaking into a home should just have several years in prison and a lifetime of probation
What about that really BIG one, thou shalt not kill. Or the subsection of that, thou shalt not pistol whip someone. Or the even bigger one, thou shalt not worship false idols/gods/prophets. The judicial system is a derivative of the Christian morals and ethics, to claim to use the "lord" as your defence against a system derived from the teachings of the Lord is blasphemy and heresy. I would guarantee that the Lord would prosecute him even if he was his defence attorney. The Lord forgives if you admit remorsefully and beg for forgiveness with the promise of changing your ways, He does not forgive by invoking His name to defend your wrongdoing entirely. Sorry for the rant, I'm not a very religious person, but it does very much annoy me when people try to use a theology/religion incorrectly, and in fact according to that theology/religion, uses it in full opposition of the same theology/religion they are claiming to be defended by. This guy certainly wasn't blessed by any God, from any theology/religion, with intelligence.

Sovereign Citizens are following a script designed to delay and obstruct the process. They believe they’ll get their way by repeating the same question again and again in various ways. They’re mentally unprepared to answer simple questions.
That is seriously the best judge I've ever heard. Every word out of his mouth was absolutely perfect and his tone was amazingly kind while still taking no crap.
I think he wasted WAY too much time on the SC nonsense. “The state has jurisdiction over you because that’s where the alleged offense occurred” and then move on. If I came into court saying I was under the laws of ancient Sparta, and my name is Biggus Dickus, that would be correctly dismissed out of hand. The more time the judge spends on this nonsense, the more it validates these nonsensical people.
It seems like it should be so simple though either he is Mr. Pritchett and he can talk on his own behalf or he isn’t. And if he isn’t, why is he talking on Mr. Pritchett’s behalf. If this kid isn’t Mr. Pritchett, then this needs to stop and they need to put a bench warrant out for the defendant who did not show up for court. None of this going back-and-forth for an hour.
The mother is HORRIBLE! Her son robs people in their houses and she's acting like they're talking about a bad grade he got in college and how he's going to fight it with the Dean. FFS our society is disintegrating.
I 😮 couldn't believe how she's trying to help him get out of accountability, unbelievable, I'll bet she knew he was out there breaking laws he has no remorse.
The real issue I see here is that the defendant is not just totally unqualified to represent himself but that he also drives people nuts with his BS, and they have been more than patient with him. The judge was VERY lenient in his sentencing. America needs its mental hospitals back!
Exactly my thoughts. He thought he could play the system despite what he did by doing this numb nuttery. The man showed no remorse at any point during the trial and declared in not do many words thst Jesus forgives him so it's all good. No, no it definitely is not okay.
The entitlement is astounding. His sudden appreciation for life, in his closing statements while referring to himself, is touching. His new understanding doesn't involve respecting the court though
It is as if these sov cit types think that laws are written in some platonic ideal of a law book somewhere up in heaven. And that the physical laws that society has agreed to and have written out are a corruption of that, and therefore don't apply. Ok, but even if true, this magical "true" law is not what these proceedings are going to be based on. Long prison sentences for the inability to parse.
Well, keep in mind the Lord Jesus Christ does need to request Discovery and declare himself on Record as the Attorney of Record. He will also need to prove that he passed the Bar examination.
I did some research... First, his last 5 years on probation are already set to be served outside of jail, but he has to make the entire five years without committing a crime, not likely imo. Second, the parole success rate in Georgia is close to 50%, so he'll probably be truly looking to get out around the middle of the 32nd year of his sentence. But he's a certified YSL gang member, so that means he also has to stay out of trouble for 32.5 years... not likely imo haha so I will predict that out of the next 35 years of his life(5 of the 40 already being served while waiting for trial) he will spend approximately 23 months out of jail on parole/probation, and the rest of the time will be spent inside. I have no love for the guy, so let him rot for the entire 40!

You think so? Probably more likely that there is a backlog because there are so many crimes being committed and the case load is too high for the number of available public defenders and judges.

@@Vykk_DraygoSovtards do not help the issue, however the larger issue supported by the courts own numbers is that civil and criminal trials take up the same real-estate so jackasses sueing McDonald's for hot coffee and their neighbors for being to loud are clogging the courthouses that criminals are being processed thru. Remember crime keeps declining most years (I think it was 2019 or 2020 that was the major spike in like a decade or so.)
@JordoValentino I also imagine folks who used it before it came this common, actually KNEW what they were talking about.

Now it feels like people just reading the same exact article! Plagiarizing others' badly done defenses😂.
I don’t think that’s 100% true although I’d need to look into it more to provide specific examples. The legal theories of sovereign citizenship are of course not sound; however my recollection is that there was a point at which, for more minor offenses, sovcit basically provided people with manuals to be as obstinate and obstructionist as possible and they were effectively able to act as the legal equivalent of a kid who argues with his parents until they’re out of energy and give up. The state decided prosecuting them for whatever criminal traffic offense they’re there for wasn’t worth the trouble. However this allowed people to think they could do the same with stuff like tax evasion, DUIs, and violent crimes where the government is not letting you off the hook no matter how long the trial takes, which sort of allowed for enough awareness of the issue among the legal profession that the legal system as a whole became more robust against sovcit tactics meaning now they’re just more likely to get you in more trouble for your infraction anyway.
Man, his mother really failed him completely. Let him learn that it's cool to do violence to innocents for profit, then taught him to fail in court. This man's life was a total waste, and she's responsible for that.

I wouldn't blame her directly either. But he is impressionable, as some would argue that he is still very young. Mom is definitely not helping whatever is ailing this guy😢 @anthonytunstall2147
He's an adult. His mother didn't force him to commit crimes. She didn't force him to act disrespectfully in court, and even if she did, he can make the decision on his own to not act that way. Sometimes crappy parents are to blame for crappy kids. And sometimes those crappy kids realize that they don't have to be a piece of sht like their parents. Unfortunately this guy chose to be a piece of sht. Using your logic, if you had a kid and they grew up to commit crimes, you, the parent, should take responsibility and the consequences. That's insanely stupid. You need to be responsible for *your own actions* no matter who raised you or who you're around. 🤦🏼♀️ I thought that was common sense. 😂

I’ve been a trial attorney for 15 years. . Every new Judge should be required to watch this before they are sworn in. I can’t think of a single thing to not pick. He was overly patient. Intelligent. Respectful. Logical. And his demeanor was perfect. Absolute professional.
Yeah IANAL but he nailed it!
I agree with you. A total professional.
He may have been ready to yank his hair out. He never let in that he was. I have watched these types of proceedings on YT. Judges having had enough of the nonsense sometimes blow their tops. This Judge was amazing
I agree that he was completely professional, but when it comes to sovereign citizens, is it really worth being this patient? I just tried searching to see if they ever change their views on their beliefs and couldn't find anything. I would think it would just be better to hold them in contempt of court instead of listening to their ramblings? Am I being too harsh? What's your thoughts/experience with sovereign citizens?
@@sirpsionics You aren't necessarily being too harsh. In my humble opinion, when defendant's are polite and respectful, Judges should reciprocate. This defendant was attempting to be respectful but he had the mistaken belief that he was correct. It's wild that this man with zero legal training or education would argue with a Judge that graduated from Harvard law. As far as sovereign citizens go, I've only ever represented one. If you're watching this channel you probably know that most sovereign citizens don't want an attorney b/c they believe the court has no jurisdiction over them. This is nonsense b/c a court has personal jurisdiction over anyone physically located in that jurisdiction. If you're in Cobb County, Georgia, the Cobb county court has jurisdiction over you. Period. Every law student learns this as a 1L in civil procedure. The only sovereign citizen I represented went about as you would expect. His family hired me and I had no idea he was "sovereign" or I would have told his family to find someone else. I didn't find this out until I met with him in county jail. I told him he should let the guards know he was sovereign and he shouldn't be in there. He told me he already did that. I smiled and said, "well it looks like you aren't as sovereign as you thought. He fired me shortly after that which was EXACTLY what I was hoping for. LOL.

Same here, and even I know that one the ten commandments refers to following the laws of the land. That kind of throws the whole hiding behind religion thing out of the window
Hahaha you just described Big D 😂
I AM a Christian, and I agree with you totally. He is a disgrace to the Name of Jesus, which he abuses and takes in vain in order to avoid the punishment of breaking the law. This is not acceptable!
Same here, I was not raised with religion, I respect that religion is a personal choice, and thought it should be a source of peace and solice and spiritual growth. Sadly I hear it being used to relinquish all responsibility for bad behaviour when it suits. It's all about MY RIGHTS until oops.... I'm in trouble with the law so nope, it must have been God's will....... It's incredibly sad.
All religious people hide behind their scriptures to manipulate, harm & destory others. It's nothing new .

@@echidnaspikes8563 And we all saw how that worked out for Mr. Brook's.

@@celiamoreno7745 I feel like it would be incredibly difficult to keep the court proceedings moving forward with this defendant... I don't know if his tactic was to get his case thrown out, or was stalling for time, but a lot of people (myself included) wouldn't know how to react when he just keeps repeating himself over and over. Like what can you do with that... and the judge was eventually able to get the bare minimum from him. Like pulling up the bodycam footage to show that he did, in fact, give the cops his name and address or social whatever it was, proving that he referred to himself, as the person he was trying to deny he was. He also showed incredible patience. I think that's why people are saying he's a good judge.
This judge , was very coherent , polite...he had a chance to have a quality court proceedings.. very rare
@@celiamoreno7745 No, I agree. The Judge was ... what's the word I'm looking for... "entertaining" this guy's nonsense way too much. The judge needs to be more assertive and just tell the guy "this is how it is, this is how it's going to be", instead of things like repeatedly asking "who do you think has personal jurisdiction over you?". The defendant doesn't think *anybody* does, so why keep asking him?

Suggestion to sovereign citizens: Exercise your right to remain silent.
[EDITED FOR CLARITY: I am not an attorney and am not intending to offer "legal advice"]
Unfortunately for anyone who came to believe this junk, basically all seem to have a core requirement of having to say the words from the script for laws/whatever to not apply to you, so remaining silent is not really an option for a true believer.
This is probably the finest judge I’ve ever heard. He doesn’t mock the defendant ever, but he demonstrates a willingness to honor each, and every defendant no matter how absurd they may present themselves. I am absolutely impressed with his respect for the dependent and at the same time have control of his court.
It is very much up to the judge. The supreme court has ruled that the sovereign citizen arguement holds no weight, and that law enforcement and the court system should not waste its time and resources playing the game with them. There are many judges who shut the argument down effectively, and all in differing ways. But a judge should hold an extraordinary level of decorum and honour and fairness no matter who they are, whilst also not playing along with these insincere, conniving, skeevy tricks to try and get away with committing a crime.
🤝🤝🤝💚👍
It is also good practice to always do it this way, because it just shores up all gaps against appeal.
I agree. He was amazing. I get a bit frustrated with people representing themselves, sovereign citizen or not. No one is allowed to practice law without a license except when representing yourself. It does no one any favors and is a bit ridiculous.
My only reservation with this judge is that he is a little slow and allows the SovCit too long to keep looping around in dumb circles and doesn't cut him off quickly enough. And he is actually quite snarky, its just done in a subtle way. All his talk of the Good Lord being the guy's attorney is all sarcasm, but the fool doesn't get it.
This Judge is SO calm. His VOICE has SMILES in it. Amazing Judge.
Agreed. Every judge should be this way. Calm and patient, regardless of who is in trial.
That's because the writing is on the wall.

My favorite part: "I ask that the court give me the 20 years I was already sentenced to." You know, the plea deal that was offered and rejected.
Do you want that with Jesus? Your Representative? Bye.
@@RevilojIs that the entity, the person, or the individual , called Jesus?
That was the saddest part of the video for me actually. All that SovCit nonsense cost him the mercy that was offered to him.
@@rick4580his mom and dad cost him but ultimately his actions did him in.
Armed assault and robbery in an occupied dwelling is a serious crime.
It was a crushing moment.
@@rick4580 He didn't know it was mercy.
I don’t think Jesus is lawfully able to represent a defendant. I’m sure his bar card is expired
Even if it wasn't? He'd STILL let this fool represent himself. Jesus isn't gonna help him
Pretty sure doesn’t let convicted felons get their card back without appeal first too
Fairly certain any capital offense is a felony, but pretty decent appeal grounds
I'll bet he would be good at cross examination
@@Gapines23 OMG That's hilarous!
Expired when he died. He would have had to re-apply after resurrection
The patience of the judge is amazing…if it were me, he’d be in solitary until he gave sane clear answers - and as to his respect for god via fear…why would anyone respect anything out of fear?
I believe sovereign citizenship goals are to annoy judges to the point the judge gives up . But that hasn’t worked yet😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂.
This is infuriating. Lock him up and throw away the key.
Where ya gonna throw away the key? Outside of the jail? His friends will find it! And how far can you really throw away a key? Twenty, thirty feet tops.😅😅
Sovereign Citizens are following a script designed to delay and obstruct the process. They believe they’ll get their way by repeating the same question again and again in various ways. They’re mentally unprepared to answer simple questions.
Notice how he kept repeating the same answers. This possibly shows a mental defect and should call for competency examination.
to much talk
@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime Depends on where and how you throw it. By cannon from the top of the Empire State Building...
That is seriously the best judge I've ever heard. Every word out of his mouth was absolutely perfect and his tone was amazingly kind while still taking no crap.
Really? Pro Cro Magnon Primate couldn't defend his innocence? He was just getting his life turned around😂😅🤣😂💩💩🤡🙈🙉🙊
I think he wasted WAY too much time on the SC nonsense. “The state has jurisdiction over you because that’s where the alleged offense occurred” and then move on.
If I came into court saying I was under the laws of ancient Sparta, and my name is Biggus Dickus, that would be correctly dismissed out of hand.
The more time the judge spends on this nonsense, the more it validates these nonsensical people.
Hands down best judge I have seen/heard in a while. Calm, cordial, and professional at every step, including when things were frustrating.
He really spoke to the point and never wavered. Good on him
It seems like it should be so simple though either he is Mr. Pritchett and he can talk on his own behalf or he isn’t. And if he isn’t, why is he talking on Mr. Pritchett’s behalf. If this kid isn’t Mr. Pritchett, then this needs to stop and they need to put a bench warrant out for the defendant who did not show up for court. None of this going back-and-forth for an hour.
The court officer looked like he wants to STRANGLE “Sir”
“You’re a luck man Mr. Pritchard” 😂 Instead of 20 years, you’re getting more!!! It also helps having a mother who is clueless about our legal system.
The mother is HORRIBLE! Her son robs people in their houses and she's acting like they're talking about a bad grade he got in college and how he's going to fight it with the Dean. FFS our society is disintegrating.
The old "my son is turning his life around" spiel.
This guy wanted to play gangsta.
So true 😞
Right?! That call sounded like she was talking to her son as if he's being railroaded like Christ. 🙄
By her words and actions she clearly wants him gone for life.
I 😮 couldn't believe how she's trying to help him get out of accountability, unbelievable, I'll bet she knew he was out there breaking laws
he has no remorse.
He's been in custody for 5 years? If so, he could've taken the plea deal and would've been close to parole with time served instead of a jury trial.
The system is a bit rotten. Take the plea get 3 years, go to court get 20. Even if you are innocent.
@@MultiLimpetmy guy he committed armed home invasion. Play these whataboutism somewhere else
The worst public defendant would have gotten him convicted and damn near done with his sentence in the time it takes this fool to defend himself.
The real issue I see here is that the defendant is not just totally unqualified to represent himself but that he also drives people nuts with his BS, and they have been more than patient with him. The judge was VERY lenient in his sentencing. America needs its mental hospitals back!
So, in his imaginary world, you can get away with any crime, no matter how heinous, by pretending you have no identity? Smh, beyond foolish.
Exactly my thoughts. He thought he could play the system despite what he did by doing this numb nuttery.
The man showed no remorse at any point during the trial and declared in not do many words thst Jesus forgives him so it's all good.
No, no it definitely is not okay.
The entitlement is astounding.
His sudden appreciation for life, in his closing statements while referring to himself, is touching. His new understanding doesn't involve respecting the court though
It is as if these sov cit types think that laws are written in some platonic ideal of a law book somewhere up in heaven. And that the physical laws that society has agreed to and have written out are a corruption of that, and therefore don't apply.
Ok, but even if true, this magical "true" law is not what these proceedings are going to be based on.
Long prison sentences for the inability to parse.
He committed home invasion and armed robbery. I think I would rather face this judge instead of facing Jesus Christ.
Well, keep in mind the Lord Jesus Christ does need to request Discovery and declare himself on Record as the Attorney of Record. He will also need to prove that he passed the Bar examination.
i hope he serves every day of his 40 year sentence.
I did some research... First, his last 5 years on probation are already set to be served outside of jail, but he has to make the entire five years without committing a crime, not likely imo. Second, the parole success rate in Georgia is close to 50%, so he'll probably be truly looking to get out around the middle of the 32nd year of his sentence. But he's a certified YSL gang member, so that means he also has to stay out of trouble for 32.5 years... not likely imo haha so I will predict that out of the next 35 years of his life(5 of the 40 already being served while waiting for trial) he will spend approximately 23 months out of jail on parole/probation, and the rest of the time will be spent inside. I have no love for the guy, so let him rot for the entire 40!
@@TeamSkepticwow this clown is also tied to the YSL rico trial? He’s beyond delusional holy crap, I’d almost feel bad for this bonehead if it weren’t so outrageously hilarious.
It took someone dying and you beating a group of ppl for you to change. That’s a load of bs. I think I’m bias I think all inmates are animals my dad died in the line of duty but I’m working on myself and forgiveness.

If you don’t want a government to have jurisdiction over you, buy a boat…a big boat, and go live on the ocean. But just remember as soon as a storm hits you, the storm now has jurisdiction over you and there will be no plea deals or discussions.

"You're standing in the room, you're under jurisdiction."
"I don't understand what you mean, why do laws apply to me?"
Wow, what an amazing legal defense!
The laws apply to you, the flesh and blood human, because your corporate paper entity counterpart is physically not capable of stepping off the paper to commit breaking and entering.
Not so much a legal "defense" as a legal "forfeit".
That baliff is standing behind him, looking at the judge like, can I taze him, please? 😂
I second that motion
hahahaha, I feel bad for the bailiff... We need th judge to use the old Cheech and Chong line - "Bailiff, Whack his PeePee"

I could never have the patience to debate with one of these numb nuts….
If I were a Georgia taxpayer, I would want reimbursement from this defendant for wasting public resources.
Fani Willis and her fb Wade constitute a huge portion of inappropriately acquired, indulgently wasted, tax dollars so reimbursement may take awhile 😑
he would have to break into another home, pawn the stolen goods, to pay the taxpayers back.
It is a viscous cycle.

The way my jaw dropped when he got the charges explained. I went to high school and played sports with one of the girls that robbed the airbnb with them 😭😭 I’ve been keeping up with their case and am SHOCKED to hear this is the route he went
Great judge.
Not a hint of ego, not a hint of antagonism even after the defendant playing stupid games for weeks.
He‘s just very matter-of-fact, very friendly and very consistent.
Really good job.
It's like he watched the darrel brooks trial and said" I wanna be just like him when I growed up."
This kid is the type to say "growed" 🤣
😂😂😂 even sounds like him 😅
This bs is why there is a backlog of 56,000 cases in Fulton county.
Exactly, insufferable, imagine you are the next in line and need to wait 5 hours for your case because this guy does not "claim his name" - what a waste of time. Every minute costs the Taxpayer money....
You think so? Probably more likely that there is a backlog because there are so many crimes being committed and the case load is too high for the number of available public defenders and judges.
SovCits aren't the dam preventing the flow of justice. SovCits are more like a speed bump. A temporary and annoying slowdown, but generally inconsequential as regards the time a trip takes.
@@Vykk_DraygoSovtards do not help the issue, however the larger issue supported by the courts own numbers is that civil and criminal trials take up the same real-estate so jackasses sueing McDonald's for hot coffee and their neighbors for being to loud are clogging the courthouses that criminals are being processed thru.
Remember crime keeps declining most years (I think it was 2019 or 2020 that was the major spike in like a decade or so.)
@@Vykk_Draygo just watching a Trump trial put me to sleep.
Actually, that’s due to the incompetence of Fani Willis.
Around the 25min point it all became a comedy sketch with Paul Giamatti as the prosecutor 😂
No one has ever used sovereign citizenship to successfully defend themselves in anyway.
All I’ve ever seen them accomplish is looking stupid, long prison sentences, and busted windows from police
That is a good point; no one wins
10-15 years ago, it sometimes worked with traffic stops. Before it was so widespread.
@JordoValentino I also imagine folks who used it before it came this common, actually KNEW what they were talking about. Used cases that actually applied, objected when appropriate, asked questions at the right time, and actually made sense!! Researched using their current allegations and made logical arguments!
Now with how widespread this seems to be, I imagine it's folks searching, "ways to get away with crime" and/or they know somebody who knows somebody who WON with this defense (no they dont).
Now it feels like people just reading the same exact article! Plagiarizing others' badly done defenses😂.
I don’t think that’s 100% true although I’d need to look into it more to provide specific examples. The legal theories of sovereign citizenship are of course not sound; however my recollection is that there was a point at which, for more minor offenses, sovcit basically provided people with manuals to be as obstinate and obstructionist as possible and they were effectively able to act as the legal equivalent of a kid who argues with his parents until they’re out of energy and give up. The state decided prosecuting them for whatever criminal traffic offense they’re there for wasn’t worth the trouble. However this allowed people to think they could do the same with stuff like tax evasion, DUIs, and violent crimes where the government is not letting you off the hook no matter how long the trial takes, which sort of allowed for enough awareness of the issue among the legal profession that the legal system as a whole became more robust against sovcit tactics meaning now they’re just more likely to get you in more trouble for your infraction anyway.
This judge is a genius and so quick dealing with this idiot. That lowlife beat and robbed people. He should rot in prison for what he has done.
When the prosecutor suddenly disappeared under that desk, I genuinely thought he'd lost the will to live!

Man, his mother really failed him completely. Let him learn that it's cool to do violence to innocents for profit, then taught him to fail in court. This man's life was a total waste, and she's responsible for that.
Absolutely 💯! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing when he was on the phone with her. His Mother failed him horribly.
Y'all can't blame his Mother, he's an adult now so she's not responsible for his delusions,he learned how to be conniving and deceptive from the streets not his mother's house,people who blame his mother for his actions excuse this dude from owning responsibility for his own actions
I wouldn't blame her directly either. But he is impressionable, as some would argue that he is still very young. Mom is definitely not helping whatever is ailing this guy😢 @anthonytunstall2147
He's an adult. His mother didn't force him to commit crimes. She didn't force him to act disrespectfully in court, and even if she did, he can make the decision on his own to not act that way. Sometimes crappy parents are to blame for crappy kids. And sometimes those crappy kids realize that they don't have to be a piece of sht like their parents. Unfortunately this guy chose to be a piece of sht.
Using your logic, if you had a kid and they grew up to commit crimes, you, the parent, should take responsibility and the consequences. That's insanely stupid.
You need to be responsible for *your own actions* no matter who raised you or who you're around. 🤦🏼♀️ I thought that was common sense. 😂
Agreed
The looks on the prosecutor and the court bailiff is priceless. 😂
Prosecutor especially
