I love Judge Boyd. She's one of those good ones. I would say that, if the defendant believed in good faith that this person was an attorney, then the communications should be covered by attorney-client privilege. Unfortunately, the Law and Justice are currently going through a very messy divorce in this country. (Anybody requoting that, please credit me, as it's original.)
I would think along the lines of what the judge is thinking that if the defendant reasonably believes the person they are speaking to is their attorney, then there is a reasonable assumption that anything discussed is privileged. And the prosecution would not be entitled to that information.
A few weeks ago a guy was seen questioning jurors out in the hall. Judge Boyd was asking him why. The guy claimed he was a federal employee. Judge continued to question him and the guy was sketchy. He said he did have case so the clerk took his details and then the judge had the bailiff escort the guy out of the court house. The female defense attorney today was in the court when the incident happened a few weeks ago.. She then said to the judge that she was currently looking into some visits that her client had gotten from a guy claiming to be an attorney and she wondered if it were the same guy. The judge said that she had told the bailiff to take a picture of the guy before removing him from the courthouse and said she should get a copy of the picture for her investigations. I guess now we know that this so called federal employee was a fake.
Rule of Evidence 954: Under these circumstances, courts say that “the sins of the attorney must not be visited on the client so long as the client has acted reasonably in its belief that its counsel is, in fact, an attorney.” Some jurisdictions say that attorney-client privilege applies under these circumstances only if the client’s belief was reasonable. US vs Tyler: 745 F. Supp. 423 (W.D. Mich. 1990)
Sounds..... Reasonable. It seems like a no-brainer question really. The protection comes from assumption on the clients side. It might be different if common for every attorney to show their license, but it definitely isn't. All the average public goes off of is their word.
I worked for a Texas state law maker for years. I learned that in the Hispanic community in my part of the state, there are people who present themselves as "abogados" and give legal advice, although they are not licensed attorneys. I encountered them in mainly immigration cases. The clients did not understand the difference between someone licensed to practice law in the US and someone who just helped fill out paperwork.
Scammers do it in their communities with taxes as well. Even if the person is not here legally, they are required to file tax returns if working. Many in the communities follow this law but still fear mainstream tax preparers. The scammers usually get to them through use of the term or meeting victims at iglesias.
If i may explain “abogado” means lawyer in spanish. So, it might be prudent to clarify that on all spanish speaking countries, a person that studied and graduated from law school are lawyers or abogados (spanish)
Sometimes interesting is good too. This was the learning part I guess. And everybody loves Judge Boyd. So while “it gets worse” is fun, and “deez nutz” can’t be rivaled this was interesting and I enjoyed it anyway
Glad I'm not the only one not sleeping. It's storming here in Kentucky. Good snuggle down weather. Love Judge Boyd. Her statements are always so well thought out and insightful.
I live in Kentucky. Live in Nicholasville, work in Lexington/nich/Versailles/Winchester/Wilmore. The storms here are excellent. Been a nice steady rain all night.
It's sad that the judge had to bring up the attorney-client privilege and that the prosecution shouldn't see anything until that's made clear. The defense attorney should have been right on top of that.
What's really odd is the defense attorney was trying to say that it wouldn't be privileged which is Bonkers from a defense point of view. A defense attorney that's good would have brought it up, not the judge.
Boy, Judge Boyd has to lead this defense attorney by the hand to the conclusion that she shouldn't be sharing this information too freely with the prosecutor yet!! She should have picked up on that immediately and fought to keep it away from the prosecution until it's clear that they're allowed to have it.
Yeah I was surprised when the defense attorney said "well it's probably not privileged." Even if that's what she thinks she should be saying "Well judge I need time to do research and until we've got more information and made our motions we should treat the information as privileged, because if we don't and realize we should have it will do irreparable harm to my client, whereas there's effectively no harm to the state if we wait for a future ruling to release it to them."
@@Vaelosh466 Yes, exactly. *They don't know yet,* and until they know exactly what her client does and doesn't have a right to, she has no business giving away anything.
I kmow! I was flabbergasted by that. She was literally saying it wouldn't be privileged which is Bonkers from a defense attorney point of view. As a defense attorney you don't want anybody seeing shit your client said to anybody as much as possible.
Aww Mike, don't say you have nothing. Everyone loves Judge Boyd ( Stephanie not Melissa) and so a video like this where she yet again sets the bar with her fairness, kindness, common sense and professionalism is like an umbrella on a rainy day, an oasis in the dessert. Thanks for showing it, its gold.
Hi from Australia, I might be wrong, but I think this may involve that weird guy in the grey 3 piece suit that Judge Boyd kicked out of the court house a few weeks ago🤔🤔❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺
There's a potentially much bigger problem. There appears to be recordings of conversations that took place between someone who identified himself as a Defendant's attorney and the Defendant.
@seantimmons5900 So, the problem being *addressed* in the video is determining whether these conversations would be considered privileged. Does attorney/client privilege apply when one party isn't actually an attorney? The problem that this person is bringing up is that a person's conversations with their attorney is considered privileged. It's my understanding that they're not allowed to be recorded to begin with. I don't know. Maybe the jails can't just turn off the recording and they simply get marked as attorney calls and don't get monitored.
@PitifulDelay Oh! No idea how I didn't catch that. I wild figure one of two things... she didn't tell the staff she was a lawyer or they couldn't turn off audio. I would hope it's the former because the latter could lead to serious shenanigans.
This is an interesting legal bind I had not pondered. Being in Canada, the precedents will differ. In a general sense, if somebody come forward as legal counsel but was not, the client could say ‘too much’. Not a flashy video but interesting.
But detectives also lie (allowed to)...if one has "reviewed" any of the questionable material and even slightly thinks he understands it - TOSS IT! Period!
Judge Boyd arrived at a very thoughtful handling of the issue. On a policy level, it makes sense to recognize the attorney-client privilege existing if the client (suspect, defendant) reasonably believes that the person holding themselves out as a lawyer is a lawyer. Otherwise, an unscrupulous prosecutor or just some unscrupulous person could elicit damaging statements from a defendant or suspect by pretending to be that person's lawyer.
I was just thinking that myself. The friend or relative of a LEO or DA pretends to be the defendant's lawyer, and gets all the dirt on the case. Totally not cool.
California: An attorney is anyone duly licensed to practice law in California-OR anyone the client reasonably believes is an attorney. So, for example, if you share confidential information about your case with someone claiming to be an attorney who ends up not being licensed, that person is still bound by the attorney-client privilege.
@laninthomasma8814 Good joke, but more seriously ... A licensed attorney can face professional discipline up to and including disbarment for violating attorney-client privilege. What does the person in a case like that, who isn't an actual attorney but is bound by the privilege, catch for violating it?
All right Mike where did that calm and rational discussion come from? I expected bodies piled high and screaming and yelling! Not this calm example of the Law.
How often do you come across someone with a Hispanic surname named Fraulein? I suspect that someone's grandfather escaped from Germany to South America after the war.
Most of you dont know this but Mike's "secret location" is in Aruba where he's doing some "sensitive" financial transactions on special appearance for the natural human on the land non-corporate non-all-caps Mike.
I love judge boyd, she is tough but fair! She seems to have a good relationship with her staff. I want to watch the movies they talk about. A question her " twilight of my life" comments though! Lol
I’m no lawyer, however, the concept of justice would suggest that if a descendent legitimately thought they were talking to a lawyer or similar officer of the court. Then they would assume they were free to talk openly. If a person represented themselves as an attorney, that’s not the fault of defendant. I also agree it should be the judge who looks into this - ultimately the judge is the one who’s gonna have to make the decision anyway.
I'm 14+ minutes into watching this. So far the only word I've heard the defendant say was, "Si," after which his interpreter was introduced and sworn in. And the rest of the video has been the judge, the defense attorney, and the state attorney carrying on a conversation in English while the translator and the defendant stand meekly silent. Which.. good choice for the defendant to stand mute, but shouldn't the translator have been participating? Some of the conversation was on the record, and some was off the record, but all of it pertained to him. [Edit: if I had watched just a little longer before commenting, I'd have realized the defendant was wearing headphones and the translator was quietly interpreting for him the whole time.]
The defendant is holding a device and has headphones. He is likely holding a translator device/phone but YES the translator should be actively translating so that is in the record.
This was only an interesting legal question the first time they talked about it ... by the fourth time, it was no longer remotely interesting. A 20 minute video that coulda been a 2 minute video
'Turns out the "lawyer" who went to the jail was in Boyd's court room before, for talking to potential jurors. th-cam.com/video/xZ6DHJ279Bw/w-d-xo.html

I wonder if this is a random person who just showed up to the jail and wanted to speak to them? Or how did they know them? This was weird. Glad we don't have to wait too long for a follow up
@@xxskizzumxx The idea of a crime boss sending someone to 'advise' the defendant also comes to mind. Admittedly, a television drama-induced thought...
I found this to be interesting as well when I was watching it live. It would be nice to know your thoughts on what happens in the matter of a person acting like a attorney when clearly they are not
Sounds to me like they handled that completely wrong. First the ag should have had a taint team set up to listen. He should have never watched them. Second, this judge will have to recuse herself if she listens to the tapes. Another judge should have been tapped to review them for potential atty client privs.
Are we absolutely sure that he hasn't been sentenced to some type of community service hours or a minimum security facility where he has to serve and has worked out a deal for weekends so he can still work? I'm not saying maybe he broke the law, but maybe lost a bet?
Well that took me down a rabbit hole of trying to find case law for this situation and after hours I have found nothing. Zilch. I wonder if this has ever happened before. Common sense would say that if he thought he was speaking to his attorney (or an attorney) then nothing he said could be used. Legally common sense don't always match. (Retired paralegal here that loves searching case law)
This was a bit too early for me this morning... LOL!! I'm catching up with the day's videos now. Love Judge Boyd! She's insightful, fair, tough when she needs to be and really knows her stuff!!
Someone in the comments already explained in detail what happened at an earlier date, but if anyone is interested, courtcamtv actually has the video from the day they found this man talking to the jurors and set off this ripple effect.
The swearing in words need to change. I won't swear to God, because I believe all gods are fictitious. It should sound something like this instead: Do you, under threat of perjury, swear and affirm you will be honest, truthful, and answer all questions completely, except where you may need to remain silent in order to protect yourself from admitting to anything that could be used to charge or convict you of a crime?
My son almost was jailed because of his lawyer.. he was compliant with the court and at the end.a plea deal was made.. no jail time.. but the lawyer kept trying to present the case..my son even told the lawyer to stop. .I hope the lawyer either quit or got fired.. He charged him 12,000.. ..the deal 2as 10,000.. .. but he kept asking for more.. The bad part is he did zero work legally to earn that much.. Between my son and his ex wife got all evidence . All witnesses I mean the lawyer showed up once and almost got him prison time. Not because of the crime.. But the lawyers actions
If there’s an uncoerced confession, attorney client privilege distorts the ability to convict the guilty by prioritizing the ‘innocence’ of the defendant over the confession, which defeats the purpose of law and punishment. I know it happens all the time, just my layman’s frustration.
I feel like anyone other than his current attorney isn’t cool. Because ANY insight into a potential crime can’t be unheard or forgotten. That’s just thought. The state is always looking for something.
Can the person who presented himself as a lawyer be charged with something? Or did the young man just assume he was talking to an attorney?😕Too early for me🙂 Thanks, Mike
Don't apologize I found it educational! How they handle the language barriers, 0 Documents that need transcribed before either side could read them and I am waiting to see shsy they do with the rake attorney! Also why he did that!
So if you’re on the jail phone and you accidentally spill the beans, do you get to claim that you thought it was your lawyer even if it wasn’t a lawyer? 🤔
The sins of the attorney shall not be visited on the client is a rule granted, and up front I am not a lawyer, don’t even play one on tv, however, what if the person he spoke to thinking they were an attorney but really were not an attorney,;; would the client privilege also stand at that point ?
judge Boyd is starting to be one of my favorite's to watch

Do you, under threat of perjury, swear and affirm you will be honest, truthful, and answer all questions completely, except where you may need to remain silent in order to protect yourself from admitting to anything that could be used to charge or convict you of a crime?
Just seeing Judge Boyd was delightful! Seeing you, Mike , was delightful! Great way to start a Saturday morning!!
My son almost was jailed because of his lawyer.. he was compliant with the court and at the end.a plea deal was made.. no jail time.. but the lawyer kept trying to present the case..my son even told the lawyer to stop. .I hope the lawyer either quit or got fired.. He charged him 12,000.. ..the deal 2as 10,000.. .. but he kept asking for more.. The bad part is he did zero work legally to earn that much.. Between my son and his ex wife got all evidence . All witnesses I mean the lawyer showed up once and almost got him prison time. Not because of the crime.. But the lawyers actions
If there’s an uncoerced confession, attorney client privilege distorts the ability to convict the guilty by prioritizing the ‘innocence’ of the defendant over the confession, which defeats the purpose of law and punishment. I know it happens all the time, just my layman’s frustration.
I feel like anyone other than his current attorney isn’t cool. Because ANY insight into a potential crime can’t be unheard or forgotten. That’s just thought. The state is always looking for something.
Can the person who presented himself as a lawyer be charged with something? Or did the young man just assume he was talking to an attorney?😕Too early for me🙂 Thanks, Mike
I think it's a charge of practicing law without a license. You can represent yourself in court, but no one else can.
That was the only charge I could think of. I'm not sure how this situation came about.@@Horchata_and_tacos
Don't apologize I found it educational! How they handle the language barriers, 0
Documents that need transcribed before either side could read them and I am waiting to see shsy they do with the rake attorney! Also why he did that!
It's okay Mike. This happens to every guy. Well, that's what they say. It's never happened to me, don't feel bad. Roflmao
A Lucy-with-the-football moment.
So if you’re on the jail phone and you accidentally spill the beans, do you get to claim that you thought it was your lawyer even if it wasn’t a lawyer? 🤔
What???? I know you will have follow-up when you can. Seems very interesting.
I wouldn’t give anyone legal advice (whatever that is?) Some people just tell other people “what they would do”?
The channel is pretty tough to navigate.....many cases that you state will be followed up are drowned
The sins of the attorney shall not be visited on the client is a rule granted, and up front I am not a lawyer, don’t even play one on tv, however, what if the person he spoke to thinking they were an attorney but really were not an attorney,;; would the client privilege also stand at that point ?
Sorry Mike, but we just might learn something! Can you grab the next part?
This is what happens to you when you don't put "I am not an attorney" at the end of your opinions on legal matters. However, I am not an attorney.
Awww, Mike! You got me messed up! 🤦🏽♀️
You're still in Cuba Mike? She must be extra "special"!!!
So a SovSit representing himself can sue his all-caps self for not being a real lawyer?
Wow this def attorney keeps stating the obvious over n over, go figure! Yeah lady repeat what the judge says as your own thought. 🥴
Mike, I bet you’re new Las Vegas. You look very tired. 😮😮😮
Did this host guy use to do court stuff under the name the irish devil.. orsomething like that
I just can’t pass up a Judge Stephanie Boyd video!
