Um your honor, to my understanding she is not here yet today. She we have I have been in contact with her.

Um for the record, I would respectfully request the court to consider either passing the matter or for an adjournment. >> Why is she late? >> She did not provide an explanation.
But she did text me at 8:33 saying she was late and would probably be here at 9:00. >> We’ll pass the matter. >> Thank you, your honor. >> Court does call the case recall the case of the people versus Angel Wilson. >> Prosecuting Attorney Lauren Burroughs for the people. >> Assistant Public Defender Natalie Pate with and on behalf of Ms.

Um today is the date Today is the date and time set for both sentencing and a bond violation hearing in this matter. As to the bond violation, Ms. Wilson will be pleading no contest.
>> Is that correct, ma’am? >> Yes. >> Do you understand that you’d be entitled to a hearing? >> Yes, I do. >> Pardon? >> Yes. >> Okay. And so you’re pleading no contest to that. Did you go to So court will accept that admission of or indeed no contest to the bond violation. Um Did you go to bonds works? >> Um I didn’t go there, but I talked to her and I sent her everything.
I didn’t >> Okay. >> Go. >> Why do I have this then? This >> What? >> man. She didn’t go. >> This is an updated recommendation that probation filed today. >> And I thought they were going to re-refer her. Has she been assessed? >> Uh if you have a mayor honor, yes she has and she sent in the requisite paperwork on Thursday but it was not received by Von Schwartz until over the weekend but they did complete the report and then that was the updated recommendation was sent out this morning for Miss Polera.
>> Who did she send this to? >> This one? >> Yes. >> have an email to myself. >> How old are you? >> I’m 22. >> What’s your highest level of education? >> High school and I’m starting college. >> [snorts] >> When? >> July 8th. >> And >> July 8th. It’s my first day. >> Where? >> At PSI. It’s a nursing school. >> Are you living on your own now? Pardon? >> Yes.
>> Where? >> I live in Taylor. >> So you moved? >> Yes. >> Why? >> 4 months ago. >> Why? >> Um because I moved out of my mom’s house. >> I’m not clear quite frankly after reading all of this and uh are you living by yourself? >> Well, my son lives with me. 2 and 1/2. >> Pardon? >> He’s 2 and 1/2. >> Did you pay Von Schwartz already? >> Yes.
>> I have concerns about this individual being quite frankly able to I’m going to read this report whether she would be an adequate candidate for probation. But if you want to proceed with sentencing, we can. >> Yes, Your Honor. I have reviewed the recommendation with Ms. Wilson. At this time, we are asking the court to largely adopt probation’s recommendation.
We do understand there is a 10-day or additional 10-day, rather, jail recommendation. Ms. Wilson is asking the court to not remand her at this time. Um as she has already told the court, she is starting new nursing school on July 8th at PSI. Further, she does have a 2-year-old son whom she provides for. She currently is gainfully employed as a CNA, and she is um anxious that 10 days in custody would both cause her to lose her employment or derail um her potentially starting school on the 8th. We otherwise we are asking the
court to adopt probation’s recommendation with the consideration of not imposing the additional 10-day jail time. >> And what are you going to do if I do impose the 10 days? Ma’am, that was a question. >> Me? >> Yes. >> Um I would just probably lose everything. >> What are you doing with your life, young lady? >> Um right now, I work and I’m a mom, and I’m a soon-to-be nurse.
>> Do you have proof of the nursing school attendant? >> Yes, I did get approved. >> Pardon? >> I did get approved for >> No, do you have proof of that? >> Um I can show you an email and my schedule. >> I think you need to come up with some reason why I shouldn’t just send you to jail. Cuz I quite frankly don’t think that you’re a good candidate for probation.
You weren’t able to make it through the pre-sentence portion of this. >> What does that mean? >> Your bond violations. >> Yes, I would like to say something about that. I’ve had to get three >> You want to get three what? >> Um, I don’t I guess that would be irrelevant. >> What? >> I guess that would be irrelevant, so I won’t say that, but >> What would be irrelevant? >> I just feel like it’s it’s something with the tether because I’ve had to get it replaced three times for an upgrade, and then it says that I violate.
And I’m just really confused on that, and I know that the lady at community corrections has have been my chart. Because I even offered to take a lie detector test to prove that I did not violate. >> Then why didn’t you go through a hearing? >> Because I was I was told that I can’t take a lie detector test. >> Let’s tell you the picture I have.
I have a person who’s violated you. Pled no contest to numerous violations. Now you’re telling me that I have an individual who I’m not sure exactly what you’re doing with your life, but who also on the date of this incident was was extremely uncooperative while you were at the hospital. Do your parents know about this? >> Yes.
>> What do they say about it? >> My mom It’s mainly my mom that has something to say. I mean >> What? >> It’s mainly my mom that had something to say. >> And what was that? >> but she knows that I made a mistake and I will never do that again. And >> That’s all that she said? >> Well, a lot more than that, but I don’t really remember everything off the top of my head.
>> Why do I get the sense that I put you want That what’s going to end up happening is I’m ultimately going to end up throwing you in jail. >> Um I I don’t think that that will happen. I’ve never been on probation, but I’m willing to do anything to go to jail because I have a kid, I work full-time, and I’m about to start school.
Um my focus is not to be in jail or to do anything to end up in jail. >> Here’s also part of the problem because are you telling me that throughout all of your pre- plea well your pre-trial portion of this, that all of these violations were because something was wrong with the machine. >> Well, I was on a whole I don’t remember what it’s called in the beginning before >> Soberlink.
>> Yeah, the Soberlink before I got the tether. I If I’m being honest, I I didn’t take that serious, but when I violated and then got sentenced to jail, I knew I did not want to make that same mistake again, and I have not. That’s why >> So, what tells me now that you’re going to take any sentence I impose seriously? I mean, that’s my problem, young lady.
My problem is I see you out there drifting. You go about pick up this charge. You’re at the hospital. You’ve been drinking. You’re at the hospital. You’re absolutely uncooperative at the hospital. >> I wasn’t uncooperative. I just didn’t want the IV. And yeah, I I understand that. >> They asked you for consent to draw blood.
Right? >> Yes. >> What happened from your perspective? >> Well, they he When they said something about drawing the blood, I never refused it. I just wanted to sit up. And he’s the officer stated that I couldn’t sit up. So, I was refusing. And then they ended up sitting me up to take the blood. So, I I can’t see.
>> And at that point you didn’t think this was serious. >> I mean, I knew it was serious from my accident. >> So, then you get arraigned and you get put on Soberlink. >> Yes. >> Tells you what to do. You don’t follow through on the Soberlink. Right? >> Correct. I was very irresponsible with the Soberlink. >> Mhm.
>> When I did the 5 days I I in jail, I knew I did not want to go back there. And I did not want to violate. That’s why I was saying I want to >> But why from the beginning didn’t you take it seriously? >> Um I feel like with my other lawyer I didn’t understand that it was a part of the bond. I I’ve never I’ve never had anything like this go on before.
And I feel like there was a lot of miscommunication between me and my other lawyer. >> You remember what you said to me about that tether. And about the SCRAM, [clears throat] that it was an inconvenience. >> Um unfortunately, yes, I do. And I apologize for that. I was that was really out of character. >> So, with all of that, what makes me think you’re actually going to be able to make it through probation? >> Um I don’t I don’t only thing I can do is show you.
If you just give me a chance then >> I’ve given you opportunities throughout this case to show me. And what I’ve seen hasn’t absolutely impressed me. And quite frankly, hasn’t impressed me at all. >> Yeah, I can understand that. But I I mean, I never I’ve never done probation. I’m willing to do probation. I’m willing to do anything.
Hopefully, not jail time. >> Why were you late this morning? >> My son’s dad had to come get me. Bring me here. >> Shana, be quite frank with you. I don’t know that you’re a good candidate for for probation. I don’t entirely understand why she didn’t just give 93 out of the gate, just be done. You’ve not made it through anything I’ve asked you to make it through.
>> I know that you don’t believe me with the tethers, but if I could take a lie detector test, I will. I hope since I >> Look. Look. Look. Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that that’s even remotely true. You’ve been on two different types of tethers. >> I was unaware of that. I didn’t Is the Soberlink a part of the a tether? >> That’s a kind of a tether.
>> Okay. >> And you messed that up. Then, return the other tether. What ended up happening? That’s all that up to you. >> But I I didn’t. That’s why I want to take a lie detector test to prove that I did not I mean, I would have go back to jail. Honestly. >> When you went to Von’s work, why didn’t you fill the form out in its entirety? >> Um well, she told me there was only 12 pages and there was 23.
And she said I must have printed it a different way. >> Yeah, but there was information you left off. >> Yeah, that I didn’t >> But that’s that was on what you had that you just didn’t fill in. >> Well, the one the question on the front, I didn’t know. And the other ones, I must have just read through them. Not even I don’t I honestly don’t know.
I was confused when she told me that there was stuff missing cuz it was like simple stuff like my parents name. I was like, “What?” So, I I don’t know. I must have been rushing through it. >> See, you can have Give me any other reason you have as to why I shouldn’t be here for the 93 days. >> Okay. >> Court stands in recess.
All rise. 6:20 >> [clears throat] >> Court calls Recalls case people versus Angel Wilson. >> Assistant Public Defender Natalie Wilson here on behalf of the people. Assistant Public Defender Natalie Pate with an on behalf of Ms. Wilson who stands to my right. Please state your name for the record, ma’am. >> Angel Wilson >> [clears throat] >> Wilson Explain to me as to you would be thinking about why I shouldn’t just give you the time.
>> Um >> [clears throat] >> Your Your Honor, Ms. Wilson does have a statement she would like to state to the court. Well, I want to start off by saying that I apologize for my actions for the incident and what happened in general. Um also, I apologize for the violations and making excuses for the bond violations.
But, I’m begging that you will allow me to be on probation and I understand that if I violate then I’m going straight to jail and I understand that probation’s going to be hard, but because I’m going to nursing school and I’m a mom, but I think I can do it and I just would like a chance to show you that I can do probation.
>> How did you come up with the fee to pay bonds for? >> Um I work. >> Pardon? >> I work. >> How come you were late paying the fee? >> I wasn’t. >> Pardon? >> I wasn’t. I sent it all together. The payment with the packet. >> Yeah, but the packet was late. >> I don’t think so. I sent it Thursday. She got it Friday.
>> Your Honor, Ms. Wilson is employed as a CNA at a an adult home, I believe. Is that correct? Yes, so that might have been due to the income being not there at the time. And if your Honor would like, I do have proof of a screenshot of an email of her enrollment or her class schedule, rather, starting July 8th.
>> Were you Are you on the verge of being evicted? >> Um one more time? >> Pardon? >> What did I didn’t understand what you said. >> How long have you lived at the Taylor address? >> Um it’s been 4 months. >> Are you on the verge of being evicted from there? >> Um as of right now, no. >> Were you? Did you tell my probation officer that you were on the verge of being evicted and cannot come up with the fee? >> No.
>> You never told her that? >> No. >> On the 19th of June, this would have been a Wednesday, did you tell my probation agent that? Did you talk to my probation agent? >> Um I honestly don’t remember, but I know I never said anything about being evicted or I couldn’t pay something. >> So, Ms. Palera told that to me.
She’s not telling me the truth or somehow Okay, that came from Carrie. Did you tell people at Von Schwartz that. >> No. Like I sent her the money order with the packet. It was all together. >> So you didn’t tell them that you were on the verge of being evicted? >> No. I never stated that. >> When did you contact Von Schwartz? >> Um I called her I want to say the Monday and she told me to call her back Wednesday cuz she was on vacation.
>> Anything either of you want to say before I impose sentence here? >> Um I just want to say that I apologize and I really hope that you give me the opportunity to do probation. >> What this acknowledges is not serious misdemeanor as defined by statute. However, believes there are reasonable grounds to depart from the presumption of a non-probationary sentence.
