A quick-thinking prosecutor saved a domestic violence victim from her assailant during a hearing. The hearing was held via zoom. St. Joseph County (MI) prosecutor Deborah Davis noticed the victim kept looking to the side during the hearing. She suspected the defendant was present in the victim's home in violation of the no-contact order. Watch the drama as it unfolds in the video posted below.

If we had a prosecutor and a few judges such as these in Hinds Country the crime rate would be reduced drastically. Did I hear correctly, $10,000,000 bond? That defendant is a real dumba@$, in more ways than one.
My question is whether the complainant was under duress or did she allow him into the apartment/house/room with her. If the defendant was, by threat, holding her against her will is he also guilty of kidnapping?
"I'm sorry I lied to you..."

During this pandemic remote or zoom hearings have become widespread and they are real opportunities for abuse. All too often court hearings are handled so routinely that judges and prosecutors hardly notice the demeanor or circumstances involved in the hearing. This prosecutor realized this and was really paying attention. Domestic abuse can never become routine. All judges and prosecutors should see this.
"You've hit bottom but continue to dig". Love it.
"Did I hear correctly, $10,000,000 bond?" That's what I thought I heard as well. At least he can't bitch about not getting a Bond.
The original video showed the victim. She kept turning her head to the side and was clearly uncomfortable.
@6:29 - it doesn't matter if she invited him in. That dude was under a no contact order.
Yep. This is what I call a special kind of stupid. I’m not sure why this moron wasn’t found in contempt of court for being somewhere he shouldn’t have been, namely his victims home. It happens all over the country, guys who fail the Darwin test and don’t realize it’s best to just move on. Immature thugs who believe they can force someone to forgive them when they become violent and suffer with numbskulliosis. Sad really.
1:49 AM and 10:00, no there is no $10,000,000 (ten million) bond involved. I guess we can forgive 1:49 for hearing this since he was watching it eating his cheetos early in the morning, but...
The Judge said "your bond is cancelled. IF you had ten million, you couldn't bond out". There is no bond any longer, and the ten million was kinda like our Mayor's made up numbers, but this time the Judge was using the exaggeration in an educational manner.
The bond was revoked and the judge told him he couldn't get out if he had 10 million dollars, he meant that there was no bond no matter how much money he had.
Thank you f or that explanation, 2:05. I too was confused.
"@6:29 - it doesn't matter if she invited him in. That dude was under a no contact order."
Actually it DOES indeed matter. There's a big difference between violating a 'no contact' order and kidnapping. Like 25 years difference.
