Listening to the victims impact statement nearly broke me. I am so very sorry for those who were so horribly affected. This man truly deserves the maximum. A plea deal would be a travesty.
@@michalsz.7179 I agree. My youngest brother has PTSD from the Gulf War. He has never threatened or harmed anyone, but struggles to this day from things he did or saw while he was serving. He has been receiving help for years, but too many things trigger him to get scared easily, especially loud noises or people accidentally scaring him.
That prosecutor needs to be voted out of office asap. Despicable plea deal. He doesn’t even have the decency to look up and listen to these poor men who had to deal with this pos 😡
The judge understood the assignment. I truly hope he takes her words to heart and seeks help while and after incarceration and I wish peace for the victims.
Fair sentencing. You could see it on the judges face she was distraught and angry. In my opinion the prosecutor should be ashamed of even offering probation and should be reprimanded for doing so.
Wonderful case brought to YT. Thank u so much. And thx to all those that serve the community from LEO’s to firefighters to emt’s and all else. And thank you Judge for doing what the prosecutor’s office didn’t.
Prosecutor wouldnt ever look up and make eye contact with the judge...disgusting and shameful deal that should have went to trial or should have had jail time.
@ 1:07:40 The judge doesn’t skip a beat after those intentionally shocking words from the defendant. She doesn’t take the bait. She never disappoints,IMO.⚖️
I know most comments here already have said this, but this plea deal is genuinely offensive. So many prosecutors care more about their record of won cases than whether the crimes could happen again in the future. THIS one, though... This is bad. I'm glad the judge stepped up where the prosecutor couldnt, but the idea that this guy could do what he did, have obviously no remorse and no desire to make sure his issues were dealt with, and face ZERO jail time? Deplorable. I hope everyone who votes when he is up for re-election knows about this case.
PTSD, ADHD, are diagnosed way too easily. Therapists will diagnose PTSD for being in a minor fender bender. It really has diminished what was originally called "shell shock" from the horrors of combat. It's now a crutch like screaming, "I can't breathe". Really bothers the hell out of me.
Agreed. They have also added bipolar to the list of conditions they all have. That’s along with the dying mother/father/kid only they can care for, and the famous broken limbs and breathing problems.
I think the prosecutor realized his mistake after hearing the victim statements. Prosecutors are a real problem in our system. Most of the time they only go to trial for cases they believe they are certain to win.They focus too much on their conviction rate. It's something to watch for in court cases shown online.
Having grown up with a schizophrenic mother who would not take her medicine becsuse she loved alcohol, and then a husband who traumatized my two children because he would not seek help; I totally agree with her sentence.
So disgusting DA office would make a plea deal of probation, did he speak to victims/ first responders, police and hospital workers. Someday no one is going to work in these fields .
Finally! A Judge who takes charges seriously. As a veteran it's hard for me to say this because it's hard for vets to seek help but he should have and if he would have at least gotten that help after the incident I think she would have felt a little different.
Can't believe prosecutor wat he thinking he can't even look up while these men talk am so shocked how bad this deal is shocking disgusting why hell would they offer this deal hope judge rejects it I want here him stand up tell court why he offered this shit deal
Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of YT court streams before and was late "to the party." I came at the end of the beautiful and honorable Judge F presiding on Zoom, unfortunately. I so appreciate these creators showing old cases I missed, for apparently years! 🙃
@Kthb80 Fiction TV drives me nuts with the same lame scripts. I tried just tonight to watch a mainstream show and couldn't even get through 15 minutes of it. 🫤
Now? In that county-they've set precedence for future felony convictions against the people who are there to help. Omg help them all when people start copy-catting.
Some warriors we have here, next time END THE THREAT. Too soft to handle the job is what im hearing. 14 felonies should be treated a little more serious and not reduced to anywhere near 3!
DA had a hard case should it go to trial so they did their best, the defendant sealed his fate with his incoherent statement. Had he stayed silent the judge may have given a different sentence, but the defendant made it clear he is a danger to himself and his community.
@@irishwv3 I'm talking her how she said it. Literally said the wrong thing multiple times, wasn't clear that it was consecutive until the very end, almost like she forgot it. Clunky af
These impact statements would be great content to share with kids as part of firearm awareness and safety. Movies and tv portray gun violence so casually, but this is the reality: grown men with extensive training and support experiencing lifelong traumatic effects from one nonlethal encounter. It isn’t the kind of thing a sane person can brush off. I wish more people understood that before being allowed to touch a firearm
Also bothering to watch attorney, who is supposed to be advocating for their client, sit there with their head on their hand, monotone reading notes. No emotion is one thing, but behavior like holding your head up sends the vibe of uncaring and only being there because you have to be.
Soldiers who go to war for us then come home broken need more help it's same here in UK it's shocking way these brave men and women are treated when get home more has be done here got some living on streets thts failure of all governments
@b_lumencraft: I don’t think your statement is quite logical. I understand what you mean, and that there are injustices that occur and have historically occurred at high rates and this is a serious injustice. But this fact does not negate what this defendant did to these specific individuals on that specific day that caused danger and trauma that was criminal. The 2 types of injustice are both true and both unjust and wrong. One does not cancel the other out. One does not justify the other. These individuals (the victims) were the victims of this specific incident. I feel that sweeping generalizations are being used to excuse this very specific incident.
Thanks for that video! This system here in the US produces just too many prisoners. Human beings that don‘t belong in a confinement where they are 24 hours a day with people that habe done violent, heinous and unspeakable things… This guy was pushed from place to place since he was a child. He‘s had, fortunately, a loving family who adopted him and addressed his mental health. Even The judge nor everybody else but himself know what went wrong when he left the family to study without success, got from job to job and finally was accepted by the marines, where he wasnt successful, couldn‘t fight for his land, and was honorably discharged. But somewhere in this years he stopped taking care of his mental health. Was it because they told him he couldn‘t serve for his country while taking the pills he so desperately needed? Finally the judge did give a damn about the history of his life. All what she cared was what the 3 people said how life changing this was. She heard their statements, and I guess we all knew what will happen! This woman has little to no empathy, she has can‘t put herself in another’s persons shoes… A good judge looks the things from a neutral perspective. Victims exaggerate the real impact on their lives. That is why there are states where victim can give their statements after sentencing, because judges are humans and a good eloquent speaker can overwhelm and confuse people with emotions so much that it becomes impossible for a judge not to have this in mind when he/she is looking for the right sentence! This man should have got probation and a really good metal health assessment with further in- or outpatient treatment. But now the taxpayer pays hundreds of dollars a day for 3 years and nobody is getting something out of this. The victims are not suddenly on the point in life before it happened, the defendant doesn‘t get a real trearment for 3 years, and because of his mental health it‘s very likely that learns from his new buddy’s how to become a career criminal… Well done judge!
Literally an alcoholic with clear mental issues who pointed a gun that seemingly was an attempt to kill end his own life at times and he was talked to like the butcher of a small European town during Nazi occupation. So much respect was lost for her. I hope all EMS workers heal and so does this man in spite of what I just watched.
She has to. Every judge does it. They ask the same question in different ways to ensure the defendant truly understands everything , for the record. I think if they’re going to sentence at the top of the plea deal or outside of the plea deal,it becomes even more important, but they are required to ask each question, just like law enforcement has to go over Miranda warning.
You must not be familiar with how the court system works. It's how the process goes. She has to make sure everything is understood by the defendant, as well as making sure every little piece of information is preserved on the record ACCURATELY for eternity.
Somehow she seems to see allllll of the affects of mental illness that this man did, in imagining the worst way I could have, she goes so unbelievably ignorant and spews such destructive language towards him I’ve never seen a judge describe the worst child abusing monsters or murderers. Jesus. I usually love this judge but this was so scary off base it was shocking.
I think shes sickened that he never got treatment for his ptsd and was super defensive in talking to her. He didn’t take responsibility for his behaviors. He made himself a victim when asked to take responsibility. We have evidence of 6 years of abuse. He didn’t just pull a gun on a cop. He went into his home multiple times to pull guns on cops. He says he doesn’t remember but I don’t think he responded in a way that is consistent.
@@rachel8622 first of all, claiming he didn’t seek treatment for any medical condition let alone one as complex as PTSD is so bizarre and far off, as to use that against him with the countless factors that okay into seeking, obtaining, etc. treatment for any mental health issue should never be held against anyone let alone criminally. On top of that, he’s an alcoholic. Another disease that is the most common and self destructive way the vast majority of those suffering g from mental health issues self-medicate besides itself alone being a disease. Lastly, six years of abuse? Or six years of suffering from a multiple diseases with no criminal record previous nor in the year plus since. As a matter of fact he did the biggest and hardest part of addressing his issues which was being sober. That’s a DAILY struggle that countless succumb to in the most tragic ways and he was doing it. I also don’t know how, maybe without saying the exact words she wanted, he didn’t. He literally said he was so ashamed that he asked the court to KILL HIM. His actions, while a long way to go, and words which admitting those things internally most don’t get to but not what she wanted to hear was massive. Again, this judge is compassionate and I love her but this incident and clearly because it involved multiple gov departments pushing for charges again and every single one they could find multiple times was so apparent it was so disappointing and just wow. Not that he shouldn’t have gotten punished or anything but to call him, a vet, a weapon and so dangerous to everyone was just appalling to me.
We are in the minority but I 100% agree with you. A few cringe statements from the judge and yet most everybody follows along. The judge comes across as unempathetic and prejudiced. A shame.
"Having to point my gun made my drink again and now my family and kids hate me again" Sounds like you need a new job, buddy. Yours is scary. Stop making excuses
That’s ridiculous, a firefighter should now carry an air tank , carry a hose and a gun . Maybe when shots fired should wait for area to be cleared by police. I commend the veteran/ marine with ptsd for getting help and the taken a public service job . Pray he can get back on track . I was a critical care nurse and cared for many Vietnam veterans who were exposed to agent orange and severe trauma. I usually took care of them with complications of alcohol abuse, trauma from accidents or attempted suicide. So sad to see veterans suffer from trying to preserve the rights and liberties for all of us.
Those cops who have no problem causing trauma in black people by pointing their guns at them for no reason suddenly have a problem with a gun pointed at them. Proceed to cry like little girls at court. This shit is insane. They could kill someone and wouldn't get this sentence. Your justice system sucks, usa.
Groan. Not sure what special country you are from but here it's scary to have a gun on you regardless of situation, regardless of warranted or not, regardless of who aims it, regardless of skin color. People are individuals. Some are terrible, some are great. Whether they are police, politicians, doctors, gardeners, parents. Its time to stop with the profiling people based on race, jobs, gender, etc..except when it's serves our point of view. And thats what you did. Its hypocritical and ugly.
@@Lomojo31 imho OP is race baiting. I'm black and idk how anyone could hear this case and come back w/such a cold, nasty, unrelated comment. The officers, the firemen, the first responders, could have been of any color...they tried to help some1 in distress and ended up at gunpoint. They risk their lives daily, but almost dying on the spot is 100x different.
@b_lumenkraft Bad things happen when we start saying the behaviors of the minority means the entire group is like that. It's stilly to believe since some cops pointed guns@ POC, all cops are bad and none of them have a right to be safe/NOT have a gun pointed @them. SOOOO since some black person did something bad, then all blacks are criminals and deserve to be treated the same, right??? where's the logic? treat ppl by what they do, as another commenter said, they are individuals.

@@Lomojo31 imho OP is race baiting. I'm black and idk how anyone could hear this case and come back w/such a cold, nasty, unrelated comment. The officers, the firemen, the first responders, could have been of any color...they tried to help some1 in distress and ended up at gunpoint. They risk their lives daily, but almost dying on the spot is 100x different.
@b_lumenkraft Bad things happen when we start saying the behaviors of the minority means the entire group is like that. It's stilly to believe since some cops pointed guns@ POC, all cops are bad and none of them have a right to be safe/NOT have a gun pointed @them. SOOOO since some black person did something bad, then all blacks are criminals and deserve to be treated the same, right??? where's the logic? treat ppl by what they do, as another commenter said, they are individuals.
