"I Was Not Yelling I'm Simply Speaking Up" 

Yeah...and the jury was hung. Go figure.

Ikr

😂😂😂

Defendant - "I call my attorney as a witness". Attorney - *turns to the jury and points at the defendant* "AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT!"

Even after he was told not to ask him 😂😂😂

And obviously court doesn’t take Dr notes

I wondered what was wrong with the poor lawyer.

He says the phrase "aggravated sexual assault" at every available opportunity even when it seems like he's kind of shoehorning it in unnecessarily a bit. He wants those three words to ring in the jury's ears when they're deliberating. This guy is mad as hell at his former client, and with good reason.

Amazingly enough, he was not convicted at this trial either, despite this damaging testimony and representing himself. This trial ended in a mistrial, with the jury unable to come to a verdict.

@chad3232132 Proving that there was at least one person on the jury as stupid as the guy asking the questions.

That's a really great lawyer. He was trying, man.

Well, payback is a muther!

It was a hung jury too

Absolute Torture for him!😂He’s one funny Judge I love him!

He looks like he is going to sleep and I don't blame him. Hilarious.

Oh my God, I screamed 🤯

Oh no😂

Hot dam, the Prosecutor did the legal equivalent of a Mortal Kombat Fatality! The witness defense Attorney told the idiot defendant to NOT bring him as a witness because attorney/client would be gone and he did it anyway! In his (very little)mind he thought he was right and in going pro-se and ignoring his previous attorney he absolutely provided the prosecution all they needed. Validated the whole "pro se = fool for a client" saying!

I could KINDA see a client maybe, sorta believing they know more than their attorney if that attorney did a mediocre job and lost a case for him. But this attorney got him acquitted of a serious crime that he was almost certainly guilty of. From everything I saw and heard here, this attorney sounds like a miracle worker. I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

​@@chad3232132 He DID do it. In fact, he CONFESSED.

It's like a defendant that goes Pro Se and thinks they can beat the case because the Miranda Statement wasn't read to them. They are smarter then the cops, prosecutor, judge, etc.,in their own minds, and think their ideas are right. The prosecutor had no objections because the defendant is doing a fine job convicting himself! This video should be shown to law students as a great example of why pro se is terrible for defendants ignorant of criminal law.

​@@doctortimm3245 Never interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake

I saw multiple facepalms.

The judge needs to have the angle of his camera adjusted so we can see his entire face.

It's Judge Stevens' facepalming for me.

He said it was Pneumonia.✌️

This whole thing is bonkers. This guy is acting like he had the most incompetent attorney in the world when the attorney actually got him acquitted of a very serious charge that he was almost certainly guilty of. The attorney sounds like a damn miracle worker.

He looks terrible. If this is what happens to defense attorneys, no thanks

@@josephd6203 He's in the hospital with pneumonia. He seems of perfectly sound mind.

My man is in the hospital but I'm guessing he's going to the 3rd floor after this hearing.

If he really thought that why didnt he just ask to serve the time LOL 😂😂

Probation... Instead of conviction?

@@roberto8650 Yeah he thinks they put him on probation so they could revoke him and convict him on the other 3 but I doubt they would have offered probation if he had 4 total SA accusations

Even my 2 year old can pronounce that simple word.

😂😂😂

Heeeeeeey let’s not get racist about AAVE there, there’s enough to go after him for without that.

​@scifisyko what was said for you to allege racism??

I’m pretty sure that I know the answer but, what was the outcome of this hearing?

​@@Paparusty105I was told it was a hung jury

Plus his overall butchery of our language.

It was actually a hung jury.

I thought only me...

Same. The word ask is not that hard to say. This defendant should’ve stopped while he was semi ahead. 😑😊

I have a hard time with "Ax" also. However, It is a legitimate vernacular. AAVE. African American Vernacular English.

I don't know how it was hung. He admitted he did it. What else do they need?

Same here. I looked up this trial and was shocked it ended up a hung jury, even with this damaging testimony and him representing himself. Hung juries are actually more common than most people think - at around 12% of criminal cases. All it takes is one juror who disagrees and cannot be persuaded.

I definitely have a lot of respect for Mr. Wilkerson's professionalism. He clearly advised his now former client to the ramifications of calling him to testify. This was the ONLY way Mr. Wilkerson would be forced to tell the court that his client admitted his guilt on some very serious charges. This is one reason why I couldn't be a lawyer. It would eat me up inside having to defend a person who literally told me he was guilty of the (very serious) charges he is accused of committing. I get the impression Mr. Wilkerson isn't just a competent attorney, he's an outstanding one given he got this guy an acquittal in at least one trial that he was almost certainly guilty of.

@@chad3232132 Sounds like we would make excellent prosecutors, my friend 😉

@@chad3232132 He got him acquitted in spite of there being DNA evidence of his guilt! And this is the thanks he got. And yet, in spite of it all, he was still trying to warn his ex-client against what he was about to do up until the very end. Yeah, if I were ever arrested on some serious charges, I'd hire Wilkerson in a heartbeat. I hope the poor guy recovers from his pneumonia: he did not look physically comfortable at all.

Same here. Literally the ONLY way that confession to his attorney could have ever been conveyed to a court is this moron calling him to the stand.

he got a hung jury so you might want to reassess that greatest blunder

@MixedMandy88… Welcome to membership of crazy land!! We have so much fun. Oh, by the way my kitty is named Mandy, and she’s the BEST🙋🏽‍♀️💕

@@mimiprays8288 a relative of mine recently got a notice of payment made for a bank credit card that is being paid through automatic withdrawal. The total is around $5,500. There is a note stating that if minimum payments continue the bill would be paid in 23 years and actual cost would be 13,000. My relative is 84 and has enough in the bank to pay it off. I’ve talked them into not ignoring it anymore and having done with it.

$50 to principle with a $10k judgement, that's nearly 17 years to pay off! Not including further accrual of principle.

I’m loving it too!

😂

😢&😂😂😂😂

And the Workforce Commission administers unemployment.

@@jasondenney2694 horribly so - but yes. They’re a terrible agency.

All it takes is one nut job on the jury that is a conspiracy nut.

Is the full trial available anywhere? I can't imagine this guy acting competently as his own attorney. I suppose it's possible the actual physical evidence was lacking or some witness wasn't seen as credible, causing one or more jurors to refuse to convict in spite of this damaging evidence.

Apparently it did: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xDLzngwl5UI.html

Because Beaumont

So, what happens now?

​@GoodnightJLH, the state will have to decide if they want to try him again or drop the charges.

@@GoodnightJLH Yep, exactly what @hopefulhuman said! Although I also read that he has a few other SA cases already pending and additional felony cases as well. Texas is going to be dealing with this dude for a WHILE.

I’m sure he missed the irony of that.

Produce cids too !😡😡

And it’s always the IDIOTS that choose to do so 😆

I wonder how many jurors were thinking he was not guilty, like was it just one idiot demanding they acquit him or was their more than one idiot 🤔

​@@amber_Forever16 in this society, its safe to wager more than one idiot.

It could have been a bond revocation hearing. That happens before the trial. So it is possible, but you missed the delicious answer, "No to my knowledge" means "I don't know, but I am betting my left lung that you have been.". Lawyers are tricky like that.

@@OscarSommerbo ok, that makes sense I thought it was probation not bond so thanks much for the clarification

Yes me too(thought probation) thanku for educating ✔️I love this chat😁

​@@OscarSommerbo not to mention just because you havent been convicted of a crime ,doesnt mean u havent committed a crime

Nicely said 😊

@@susanengel-ix8blnicely said indeed

Sign in my kitchen: I could agree with you. Then we'd both be wrong.😂

@@tracy7612 Love it!

What's even crazier is this guy managed to get a hung jury at this trial.

It's an important Constitutional right, if the right to self-represent or choose your own lawyer is ever gone, that's when you know this country is well and truly lost.

I agree he does look very poorly I feel sorry for him
