I’ve seen him in another video and he didn’t know anything about the case he was there to prosecute but kept deflecting it back to other prosecutors…if he didn’t know anything he should have asked for a reset
He's a machine. He doesn't need rest, he doesn't feel pity, or remorse, and he will not stop. If he's after you, it's only a matter of time. Get your affairs in order and have your attorney negotiate.
This case angers me. She didnt even listen to the testimony. She said Andrew made Shawn cry by saying a bunch of off color stuff, but that's not what the testimony was. The testimony was that Andrew was the one crying. Judge said "one witness said it was a shove. The other said a punch" but both witnesses said Shawn pushed him AND punched him. Shawn threw Andrew's phone out of the car unprovoked. At all points in all the testimony except for the self-serving testimony of Shawn, Shawn provoked the entire incident and Andrew was defending himself.
I liked her thinking, but it was alarming that she couldn't keep the two men straight in her mind so that when she spoke, she constantly confused their names.
While she is funny and witty, I don't think she's a great judge. She had a nervous breakdown and often makes some horrible often it seems at times vindictive decisions. Like most judges from her era she is quick to jail and punish drug addicts, yet violent offenders get low bail, such as child abusers and wife beaters. It's not just her but judges from her era in general with this "war on drugs" mentality.
I want to ruffle Mr Regier's hair, remove his glasses, and tell him he's beautiful. But I know this wouldn't be acceptable even if I wasn't old enough to be his mother.
Because he should have been acquitted based on what they had. At the end the judge was reciting the facts as they came out in testimony *incorrectly.* The burden of proof is on the prosecutor, and you do not have to put up a defense at all. If I was this guy I would have probably not put on a defense either because as it came out in testimony Sean was the aggressor the whole way through and then the judge at the end called it Mutual for some reason even though all the testimony pointed to Sean being the aggressor This feels like she made up her mind that he was guilty and came up with facts that made it so regardless of what testimony actually said.
What the heck did he think was going to happen if he just sat there doing nothing!? He might as well have just plead guilty and saved himself the time.
I don't know why Gardner hired an attorney he was not charged with anything. They were both at fault and it was stupid, both should have stood mute and just let it be a slap on the wrist. Gardner did not hold respect for his friend so hope Phillips understands that and finds new friends.
Never thought I'd say this, but what a wholesome trial 😂 Also, hearing what's basically a kindergarten fight with alcohol involved dissected like this with lawyers, witnesses and a judge, was absolutely hilarious 😂
I would want more proper and formal responses if I were adjudicating this but I would take her lack of response as some level of permissibility and she’s the ultimate arbiter of that courtroom. Not every judge demands the same level of formality.
JRegier took full advantage of the absence of objections such as: “Leading” “Hearsay” “Assuming facts not in evidence” The judge also misstated the evidence, though not materially.
These are a couple of grown men acting like teenagers with their toys and beer. It’s funny that Crystal, the wife, had to go out there and tell them to come inside and quit fighting. 🙄 For Pete”s sake…
Yeah that seems odd. Maybe he was given a charge and we just aren’t hearing about it here. I’m not through the hearing yet. But it seems likely the aggressor would receive an assault & battery charge and the other guy a disorderly conduct charge
Since they are the victims to each other’s crime, it’s two different court cases. If they had jointly attacked someone else they could be tried in 1 court case.
I'm curious as to why the judge didn't actually listen to the testimony Seriously. Sounds like Shawn is a real jerk and her recitation at the end was contrary to the testimony.
JRegier is the superhero we need, but he is not the hero we deserve. We need to select an All Star team of court personalities each year. I vote JRegier as prosecutor.
He is the inforcer in the series Banchee, if you haven't seen I would highly recommend, and you will definitely see the resemblance. It's the quiet, clean cut, reserved one's, we have to worry about...imo lol
*Huge fan of JRegier! America needs many more just like him! JRegier: wonderful prosecutor and beautiful human being!* As for the first defendant: If he "Didn't Do Nothing", the double negative means he actually DID DO something! smh.
I find prosecuting this man is silly. It is two friends fighting and he is the one who lost. So if you defend yourself, you commit disorderly conduct?! This prosecutor needs to lighten up and have a beer. What a waste of the court's resources.
I think someone should email the butler county sheriff's office and ask them what the definition of disorderly conduct is according to this sergeant 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations! You compelled a wife, best friend, and his wife to testify in court & destroy 20yr long relatives over a misdemeanor case of two friends being stupid to each other. Without the interference of the legal system they'd likely still be friends.
Why do they say "on or about" when they know when it happened? Ah, within the statute of limitations for the charge to be filed. Finally, an answer. I've asked this question on lots of court streams. Thank you!
Misty people say um or uh or use some sort of comversation filler - you have to work hard to remove it from your speech. Deposition transcripts are filled with them!
Were they both charged?? What a waste of time and resources for Phillips to say absolutely nothing!!! Which witness said Phillips was saying such mean things to Sean? I thought Phillips was the one crying??!! So Phillips wasn't allowed to defend himself?

This judge is being very helpful since he doesn’t have a lawyer!! I really like her I see her in many of these videos!! She’s fair and kind but firm and doesn’t take any BS! Perfect combo for a judge!
Hmmmm.... according to this officer, it seems all the women I have dated have met the requirements for disorderly conduct by action or words causing an erection.
100% he said that! I don't know how the other 122 comments so far are talking about anything else! how can anyone miss that! I can't believe how everyone kept a straight face!
I understand the burning of fields, I have seen that happen in my home town. But drinking alcohol while doing that?! Are you kidding me? That just seems like a very bad idea.
Anyone even attempting to represent themselves should at least know and understand the hearsay objection! He could have objected to most of the officers testimony! 😮
How is it "mutual" when one guy pushes you, then punches you andn you defend yourself? The judge didn't even recite the facts from testimony correctly when she was giving her judgment.
WHY? Why not plead guilty if you aren't going to testify, call witnesses, or offer oral arguments. This is trial is a too long "no contest" hearing. No resistance! Waste of time. Thanks, @meg !❤
Actually in another case this woman beat his ass pro se in a speeding ticket case. It looked like he was going to blow a gasket. Judge Webster ruled in her favor.
Hope they can be friends again after 6 months. It would be a shame if they don't work it out. 20 or more of years is a long time to be friends and not work it out.
@@TruhbledPrincess A hearing is to determine facts. Maybe DA didn't offer a plea deal. Maybe he did. We'll never know. I respect ANYONE who steps up and takes responsibility. Just saying... it's what I'd do and have done. I did when I ran a stop sign I missed and caused an accident. Unfortunately a lawyer would tell you not to admit fault. My parents and my conscience would tell me otherwise. Food for thought is it not?!
The prosecution has the burden of proof, tye defendant doesnt have to put on a defense, and this guy should have been acquitted. The judge at the end when reciting the facts as they came out in testimony *got them wrong.* It's like she wasn't even listening or had already made up her mind and only heard what she thought made him guilty.
@@Mewse1203 while it's true no defense is required, you would still, typically, make argument/summation for what deficiencies exist in the states case. Not required, but typical. I'm not sure how engaging in a fight, which is uncontested fact here, not disorderly conduct as defined by the judge's reading of kansas law, but go off I guess
@@notme2day You can still admit fault/plead guilty even with no deal on the table. He's entitled to a hearing and he's not required to mount a defense, it's just odd to have a hearing when you agree with the facts alleged.
He isn't a bad looking guy at all. You've seen the movies with people in them who do the exact same thing every day when they walk in their house and everything has to be just so. Like they hang their coat on a hook by the door. Line their shows up perfectly in the same place every time. They walk through the house and see a speck of dust or a crooked curtain, so they stop and fix it and then they go on about what they're doing. The ones who sit down to dinner and have to have their silverware places and lined up perfectly beside their plate before they start eating. I can see it in my head 🤣 He's probably not like that, but it's fun to imagine 😂
@lostineggsaisle I can be like that at work, orderly, military precision...now my home, lol, I lnow where everything is but it's in complete disarray. And I like it like that.😊
WHY EVEN BRING THIS TO TRIAL? THEY ARE ALL SAYING IT WAS MUTUAL COMBAT. This is like a fight between toddlers and the state is going through over a ticket offense. And why was only the one cited?
Why on earth did this first guy waste the courts time, bet he was hoping the victim would not show up.. seriously though, judge should make him feel the pain for this giant waste of time
Judge inserted non-facts and testimony that never occurred !!! What a stupid sentence and adjudication. He obviously acquiesced because he feels remorse, the judge thank goodness took this into account but 6 months probation should have been reduced to 60 days probation. Shawn was the aggressor hopefully he got charged as well and with a greater sentence. She has both parties confused. Witness fees???! Outrageous
Sorry, it was 2 long time friends, that drank all day and had a brawl…probation is not necessary. It’s too much. Our courts are doing tooooo much on this lil shizz, yet CASEY ANTHONY WALKS…SMH
Its woree thsn that. The judge completely misstated the testimony. She said Shawn was crying...but the testimony was the Andrew was the one crying. She said that they both threw each other's phones. Only Shawn through a phone. She said one witness said it was a push the other said it was a punch, but both Witnesses said Shawn did both. This was a travesty of justice
Sooo, Mr. Gardner threw a phone, Mr. Phillips threw a horse comb, Mr. Gardner shoved/punched Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Phillips got charged? What's wrong with this picture? At least Judge Webster's sentence was appropriately lenient.
Pretty much everybody qualifies for a court-appointed lawyer. They all get courticaria appointed lawyers, if they don't hire their own. It's only if you make things difficult on yourself, like in this case where he decided to defend himself. If he didn't apply for a court-appointed lawyer, he's not gonna get one. So, in the end, it's all based on what he does as a grown man who is in control of his own life and if he chooses to neglect to file certain papers, then he gets stuck as his own counsel....
@danshotguns4226 no dude. Everyone does not qualify for a court appointed attorney. There are income guidelines. Ask me how I know?? I will tell you... I got arrested and I had to hire an attorney when I was turned for merely having a job. The judge did not even ask what I earned. So, in Kenton County, Kentucky, I was disqualified from getting an attorney paid for by the county Stimpy because I had a job. That's a fact. So, no, you are way wrong. Also, this man did say that he requested a court appointment attorney but was denied. Did you bother to listen to this or are you just here to post garbage??? What a stupid waste of time if that's your game.
@@danshotguns4226ya, not sure you are correct. In no way shape or form is my income at or below the income you have to be to qualify for a court appointed attorney. I would be told I'd have to hire my own lawyer. And, if you haven't noticed that prices on, pretty much, everything has doubled. So, for me to have to pay for a lawyer that I can't afford as a single mother. The key word is qualify.
2 young ladies attempting to separate 2 adult kindergarteners involved in a brawl. The ladies are lucky they didn't get hurt. Will these two drunk idiots expect some other young lady to step in and save them the next time they get into a drunken brawl? At least no one called their mommy to testify about what a nice boy their son is.
I don't get it. Two drunks brawling, each bothered by the other. Sounds about right. Moving on! But no, they give THAT punishment?? Typically, the courts are too lenient but in this case, it seems they went too far.
This is the first time I have ever really heard Regier speak more than a couple of words. The over pronunciation of his words reminds me of the boy that played a young Forrest Gump. Also, thanks to whoever mentioned how many times he says ummm… now my brain notices every time too.
Judge webster confused these 2 men on several occasions during her commentary. As a result, this court record is all screwed up. Plus, not sure why only one man was arrested, charged and prosecuted. What about the other side who appears to have started this unfortunate event.
She confused the testimony too! She said, "one witness said it was a push. The other a punch." But the testimony from both Witnesses was that Sean pushed him and then later punched him. Also, she said that Andrew was guilty because he was saying such off color stuff to Shawn that Shawnn was crying. Except the testimony was that Andrew was the one crying not Shawn. At every step of the way Sean was being aggressive. All Andrew did was defend himself and it was called mutual. The judge already had him convicted before she even stepped into the court today.
She also said they threw each other's phones, but the second item thrown was said to be a curry comb, not a phone. She possibly doesn't know what a curry comb is, which would make sense if she has not been around livestock and just misunderstood.
I saw the thumbnail and said I've seen that look before... then it hit me JRegier + that look= JRegier> J Reagier> JReachier> JReacher🤔 And their you have it, hiding in plain site. Jack Reacher's younger brother Jarod "Regier," doing justice his way! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
