    Here is a bit of background. The defendant exercised his right to a speedy trial however 2 weeks before the trial was to start the prosecutor told the court that the state wasn't able to locate 3 witnesses and hadn't gotten back all the forensics. At that hearing the state offered to let the defendant out on a PR bond if he agreed to wave his right to a speedy trial, but the defense turned down the offer. So the state said that they would go to the grand jury and get an indictment on capital murder charges and seek the death penalty. After the grand jury came back and the state gave notice that they were seeking the death penalty there was a 3 hour hearing where the defense argued that the only reason the state was seeking the death penalty was because they weren't ready and the defendant exercised his right to a speedy trial. They also said that they couldn't think that he was a serious danger if they were going to let him out on a PR bond so the death penalty isn't appropriate.

    This video would have benefited from knowing the backstory before doing a reaction to it. The 20 year-old defendant was accused of killing a 63 year-old man with a knife after a paid consensual encounter. Originally charged with felony murder, he pled not guilty and was awaiting trial. A few weeks before the trial was supposed to begin, the prosecutor admitted that he had yet to fully review the case, hadn't received the forensics and had no idea where his witnesses were. To get past the defendant not waiving his right to a speedy trial, the prosecutor told the court that they were considering recharging him, so he was ROR'd. One quick grand jury later, they re-arrested him on capital murder charges based on the exact same evidence used for the felony murder case that would have had to been dismissed because the prosecutor was nowhere in the neighborhood of being ready to go to trial. Judge was not amused.

  • @SimonJM
    @SimonJM 2 года назад +37

    The judge said 're-indictment' at least twice. To me that sounds like the prosecutor either lost a prior action or did not get the outcome they desired and had to up the ante to get another bite at the cherry?

    He was accused of stabbing a 63 year old man to death during a paid sexual encounter. According to the defense, the 63 year old Garcia allegedly forced (suspect) 20 year old Ivan Gabaldon to do acts that he did not consent to while holding a knife.
    The DA elevated the charges to capital murder and sought the death penalty, but prosecutor Curtis Cox admitted that he had not entirely reviewed the case weeks before the trial started, forensics had not yet returned their findings and witnesses had not been located.

      Someone commented on this. The defendant refused to waive his right to speedy trial, the time came and the DA didn’t have all their ducks in a row yet so they offered to let him out on a PR bond if he waived his right to a speedy trial and he again refused.
      So they took it to grand jury and got an indictments with the death penalty, and the defense shot back saying that they didn’t think he was so evil that they were willing to let him out on PR Bond, and only amped up to the fealty penalty because he refused

    I heard about this from a friend (I believe this is the case, if not, it’s almost exact and the friend is LE in TX). I can’t confirm it, just saying what he told me and he thought it was messed up. Supposedly, It was a homicide and he (the defendant) was offered a plea which he rejected. It seems that there was misconduct on the LE and prosecutor’s side. There were a lot of arguments between defense council (arguing the misconduct) and the prosecutor’s office who was unprofessional to the defense attorney and they re-charged him for the higher crime of Murder 1, as a death penalty case apparently as punishment for the defendant not taking the original plea.

    • @OscarSommerbo
      @OscarSommerbo 2 года назад +2

      Tracks with what the Judge says(re-indictment), and while prosecuting this case they neglected other more serious crimes in her opinion. Also tracks with the "win-at-all-costs" mentality of DAs.

    • @ldegraaf
      @ldegraaf 2 года назад +1

      The defense says in another hearing that they had absolutely no negotiations in this case so that is a different case. Which means that this isn't the only guy being punished for demanding his right to a trial. This guy was being punished for demanding his right to a speedy trial. There had been 7+ prosecutors assigned to lead this prosecution however a 6 month period went by where nothing was done by the state. They didn't have evidence tested, subpoena witnesses, line up experts, or anything else. So after some really lame attempts to delay the trial didn't work they decided to charge him with capital murder and seek the death penalty as a way to buy them some more time.

    Sounds like the prosecutor tried to coerce the defendant to take a plea or face the death penalty.

Some judges and jurors have difficulty applying the concept of "self-defense" in a scenario where a woman accepts money for sex acts.

    This court was hearing the case that caused the capital indictment (defendant not giving State more time to convict him, State getting pissy), so I'd imagine the vindictiveness was somewhat evident to the court?

    When you said island quickie something completely different came to my mind that has nothing to do with the video!!

    Could it be that her inference to other cases being disregarded means that the prosecutor is pursuing THIS case and that there may yet be a different person who is actually guilty, yet in just hoping to close a case, they are trying to prosecute the wrong person?

    Can the prosecutor refile new charges?

    Well it would be interesting to know the full story. We dont know how long he has been in prison waiting for the courts to go through the process and there is always the possibility that he is innocent.
    Sexy Mike having fun is good to see!❤🍀🤗

    Wow?!
    Just wow!
    I’m in Texas.. this is strange?
    It does seem there is a contradiction?
    Sounds like she’s saying the defendant did not accept plea so state daughter death penalty as retaliation?
    So she them dismissed outright?
    Very confused!

    I an interested in a clarification. I recently watched one of your videos (sorry don't remember the name of it) where there was a Texas SovCit who was charged with several crimes, As the judge was reading the crimes that were included in the plea agreement (I think it was a plea agreement) and the potential punishments was time in jail and time in prison. What determines if the person goes to jail vs. prison? When the person is finally released, does it make a difference if their time was served in prison or a jail? Yeah, I'm a law nerd. ;)

    I believe she was saying the prosecutors were disregarding other related cases.

    She said they disregarded by putting her in a situation where she had to dismiss

    When the judge said that she was going to dismiss, ADA Ferguson’s body language completely changed. He was not expecting what the judge did at all.
    Can the prosecutor seek appeal on the dismissal?

    • @jjpaq

      I know there are restrictions on what the State can appeal, for double-jeopardy reasons, but it's possible that since this was a technical ruling rather than a decision on the merits, the case continues and they can appeal the dismissal.
      Hopefully an actual lawyer can chime in.

    This is the same DA from the video you posted the other day where the judge didn’t accept the plea agreement. Seems like there’s a lot of incompetence in that office.

  • @alwallace4538
    @alwallace4538 2 года назад +1

    She said "other cases". Do you think maybe they gave extremely lenient terms to those who took pleas and went over the top on those who didn't? She's a former prosecutor. Kind of like your man/woman point.
