Why is that *improbable? The drunk driver who permanently maimed and disabled my brother got a sentence of...nothing because they refused to charge him since my brother didn't die. He could no longer walk, talk, write, work, have a family of his own, and eventually died years later of complications stemming from severe brain injury. You know what they told my mom? "Sue the drunk driver." And of course he was broke. This happens in America all the time. @@RaccooniusIII
What a GREAT MOM! Definitely made things easier for her daughter here! "It's been VERY HARD FOR ME THIS YEAR...and I know for the other family as well." Nice of her to remember the family of the person her daughter killed.
No excuse for laughing during a victim impact statement. What's funny? The families loss and grief? The way the victims family is crying? No excuse. And I don't CARE how hard it's been on her. Her drink driving daughter is alive, she's alive. Where's the hardship? She apologised because she didn't want jail...the fact that she laughed during the impact statement says everything about her heart. No wonder she raised a selfish brat who got drunk and decided to drive.

Men like that don’t go off because they care about their kids; they do it because their egos are addicted to the power and control over their minor children. It’s legit how addicts act when you’re withholding a fix.
Well obviously you missed the fact the man has been in jail for a year so withdrawal would not be a issue. However having a narcissist personality will cause people to behave this way. Just looking who is running for President and his plan to become a dictor, so you never have to vote again. Isn't that wonderful. Obviously you are talking about yourself or someone you know. I find former addicts are the worse in thinking everyone is a addict. I actually had recovery addict with 60 days sober saying I was a addict because I was depentant on a medication, that I take daily as prescribed. I am dependant on my blood medication also, but a lot addicts think you take a control substance you have to be a addict because they abused it and cannot be honest that most people can take a control medication and not abuse it. Addiction is a mental illiness, dependamcy is not addiction, but can be one of the many sign of it. But on it own it is not addiction. Many addict may get off the drug but still have addictive personilty and switch other addiction like gambling. 80% of addicts have underlining mental health issues and they are basically self medicating by numbing their feeling. But people can be jerks without drugs and this guy has been in jail for a year. Also when you are in jail you are around people who do the tough talk etc so you are not around people who are giving sound advice either. 80% of those in prison have a mental illiness.
I had foster kids. They were all in drug court by the time they ended up with me. We had a routine whenever a new kid came. 1) To get appropriate court clothes 2) A brand new bed with new bedding. Most of them had never had their own space, much less a clean bed. The difference in their demeanor was commented on by the judge every time. People don’t realize how much your attire can affect your attitude…
You're videos are a true inspiration. Not only do you give great free legal advice, it's also hilarious. You dissolve that impression of the typical "don't give a shit, pay me" expectation some have immediately. You sir, make being a lawyer look cool and probably would have been a hell of a teacher if things turned out differently for you. I'd be willing to bet if you did a speaking tour live where you discussed your most entertaining experiences it would sell out.
There was the father during the Larry Nasser sentencing. Everyone understood why he jumped toward that disgusting excuse for a human being. Prosecuter chose not to press charges.
would be nice if all criminals face a fair and equal punishment but the fact is these societal crimes involve a fabric of tightly woven actors moving in concert upon the framework of institution... real moral justice would be having all those that knew take accountability and lose face publicly #epstein

Your English is amazing for not being a native speaker. If you didn't mention, I never would've guessed it was your 2nd(or more, potentially) language. Your only mistake is who's vs whose which are words that us native speakers mix up all the time.
@@monicaconnor4971 No problem. And don't worry about it, we all make them, even those of us who grew up with the language. Just as a quick cheat sheet "who's" is a contraction for who is, "whose" is the possessive. That's a super common mistake though, among people at all levels of English, your English is still amazing as I mentioned in the first comment.
He should have used protection, those children of his are going to suffer now. The mom now has double the parental responsibility, this guy is in jail so he is not going to pay child support. This all drastically increases the chance for the children to fail in school and although they are given more freedom, they have to learn hard lessons from hard experience rather than from a parent
I need to say thank you. As a German, I know the American justice system only from movies and tv shows. It is nice to get explained how the real life is.
I recently found your channel, and now I dance around the kitchen singing your intro while fixing breakfast for my confused Hubby 😂 "Bruce Rivers he's the Criminal Lawyer.. he's gonna react to all the self-snitchin'" 🎶🤣
Many years ago I was sitting in a Waffle House at about 5 AM eating breakfast when I overheard a man calling another man names. The man had appeared before that other man in family court and lost his case. I sit there quietly and ate. I did notice the Judge was not returning words and was also trying to eat. The manager on duty asked the man to leave and he did finally leave. The Judge finished eating and paid his check and left. AS I was out of town it was several weeks before I had a chance to hear what happened. It seems the Judge opened the case back up and modified the child support order and also added some spousal support. Moral of the story? Don't bad-mouth Judges inside or outside the courtroom!
Whoever told you that lied. A judge can't reopen a family court matter and modify the terms after the fact unless the other parent requests the matter be reopened and can show cause as to why the motion for support needs to be modified.
@@DominicNJ73 My GF is a family law Attorney that is in the same Law Firm as the wife's Attorney. If I understand the case dynamics that case still had some final business and while the case was basically over the case was not actually closed or a final order entered into the record. In some states, these final orders can take weeks to get into the record. I did make a mistake when I used the words "The Judge opened the case back up" that was an error on my part. I should have said the Judge went back to a still open but final case and made some adjustments. Here is another point. Even if the Judge could not have opened the case up the Judge can still charge you with disturbing the peace and have you arrested. It is always best to just leave a Judge eating breakfast alone!
@@StoutShako Agreed, there is an update to this story. The wife remarried and moved to Texas. This stopped the spousal support. One of the children will soon be 18 so I guess the child support will be cut in half soon as well.
If your story is true, you’re about the nosiest person I’ve ever heard of. Who keeps tabs on a random stranger in a conversation you happened to overhear, for years on end? Very strange.
I live in Minnesota and if I had the money and committed a crime, this is probably who'd I go to. At least you have some idea of your attorney's personality that way and I like his.
it's literally a glitch in their brain code where if THEY think YOU wronged THEM, any repurcussion of their next behevior is still YOUR fault because you set them off. So all of these add-on contempt charges are, in their mind, still YOUR fault. To use the stove analogy, they're firmly grasping the burner and screaming I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS TO ME
"And oddly enough, they're all wearing orange. Idk how that happened" I laughed out loud lmaoooo you the King Bruce! Been watching daily for months on months we appreciate the knowledge and consistent humor while keeping it 100!
That last judge was so lovely. So professional while still getting the point across and she didn’t raise her voice or change her pleasant tone of voice. Loveeeee her
The judge who said I'd prefer not to to the request for oral copulation is awesome lol he was so chill, most chill judge I've ever seen lol what you said about the self-preservation thing is spot on but I think the reason they lack that is an intense insecurity, they know they have no power and their egos can't handle it. Especially when a female judge is judging an obvious beta male
As a mother, I could not let someone get out early or anything less than life if they show no remorse. They'll get out and hurt someone else and I could not have that on my conscious. I couldn't look another mother in the eye and say "I couldn't get through a trial but you'll have to. Sorry it came at the cost of your child."
I like this guy, he's funny! And, should be required listening, to help people avoid going to jail for decades, just based on disrespecting a judge! Totally preventable
He’ll be between 40-70 years old by the time he gets out, if I read everything correctly. She probably hopes he will come to his senses as he gets older. I agree that remorse is vital but we don’t know the details of the case. I’m guessing in her mind it makes sense for him to get another chance when he’s much older
Court is no fun man. I was arrested twice as a kid (minor in possession 8th grade. Distribution 9th grade) I got lucky enough both times to get deferred disposition and haven't seen the inside of a courtroom (aside from jury duty) in 9 years. My attitude towards the judge in both cases is mostly what got me off, especially the second time. You play nice, they'll play nice, to an extent that is lol
@@rolirolster yeah, and? Anyone of any color can have the same results as me, it's a case by case situation. They were non violent offenses. If that were the case they woulda thrown my ass in both times. Instead I got probation, random drug tests, mandatory weekly drug and alcohol classes and a shitload of community service hours, not to mention my license which I didn't even have yet got revoked and years later when I went to get my license had to pay $200 on top of normal fees and all of it still shows up on my driver's abstract

@@dazed2399 Yeah, you might want to check out conviction rates for first offenders in America. You'll be surprised at how much skin colour plays a part in whether you get community service or jail time. Same with wrongful arrests and wrongful convictions, you are way more likely to get those if you're a black man in America. So when I heard your nice fluffy story about the justice system, I just assumed (correctly) that you were white. No need to start an argument about it, I was just pointing out facts.

My ex-wife during our child custody hearing “cocked off” like a maniac. Cussing, threatening, and insulting the judge. She has Multiples Sclerosis amd after our second child was born she has multiple flare-ups that did a number on her brain and exacerbated some psychological issues he had, and she developed borderline/histrionic personality disorders, and DID. She however no matter what care she was giving, and even under order from the court to receive psychiatric care, refused and would not seek to get better. Three lawyers back to back withdrew from representing her. The last hearing was via zoom and she was muted by the judge, she obviously kept running her mouth. And while doing that the judge gave her verdict that I got full custody of both our children, with her on,y allowed to have third party professionally supervised (children services) visitation. The kids wanted nothing to do with her, and after three years of that she finally started to seek help, but it’s too late now. Psychiatric issues can cause defendants in any type of case to lose badly if their issues go untreated,
Sorry you and your kids experienced that. My in-law is like that. Just had to kick her out. Unbelievable how family will put you in a situation like that. Good luck!
@@alan2698 thank you, good luck to you. At some point in our lives we need to remember that we must take care of ourselves, and if there is a person in your life that you feel is attacking you with actual malice , you have to remove that cancer from your life. These people most likely never change and they continue to behave in this same manner even after you remove them from your life, but at that point they’re no longer a threat to your safety and the safety of your family.

hearing about u relate as a parent on having a child go to jail makes me realize how much of a normal person u really are. u being a lawyer and having a child go to jail is kinda funny to hear but then it just makes me realize thats a normal thing that parents are going to have to deal with (i was definitely hell for my parents at times but never jail) im also glad that u were open about something like that makes me really happy. like im glad that doesnt make u feel any less of a parent bc u fully understand that kids will be kids especially teenagers and all teenagers are going to do dumb shit (some just get caught) and theres nothing you can do about that. even the best parents in the worlds arent able to control what a teenager wants to do. i dont doubt that ur not a great dad though. you talk about your kids quite a bit (that 100% means that theyre always on ur mind) and thats the number one sign of a good and caring parent.
You can't do anything about your children committing crimes? As a parent? "Kids will be kids, they're criminals, it's normal" lmao are you serious? It's not okay, and parents should be ashamed. I do agree with you that it's nice for Bruce to open up about that though.

The Bacardi guy at 16:30 is a real diamond in the rough. More rough than diamond. How did he even make it to adulthood? These types don't tend to handle well in prison either, due to the conflicts they constantly instigate.
Bruce Rivers is a official. I respect his knowledge and approach of distributing advice in a sense of an individual should understand. Happy for your success.
People who vocally threaten people... 'I hope I see you on the street...' ... that guy.... They never do a damn thing. They're children throwing tantrums. The scariest people in society... the Dahmers, Bundys, Gacys... they don't make corny idle threats. The guy that smiles and pretends everything is fine is much scarier than anyone screaming they're going to 'getchya' one day.
So a guy can tell a judge that “he can’t wait to see her out on the street” and gets charged, but me, as a nurse, hears these phrases and the cops shrug their shoulders and say they can’t do shit about it.
I just came across your channel yesterday while I have been watching the circus that is the Darrell Brooks trial. I have to say I truly appreciate your unbiased assessments of the cases you present. I have seen defense attorneys that refuse to acknowledge obviously bad and criminal behavior by defendants in court. Very refreshing to get straight up intelligent commentary. I now look forward to your episodes.
The problem with these people is they don't know how to handle a situation where someone has authority over them. They always think they have the power so they have to fight back all authority, and always have the last word. Even if it costs them dearly.

Hey Bruce quick question... in the Johnny depp trial I’m constantly hearing the lawyers and witnesses talk over each other and we also hear the audience laughing occasionally. In other trials I’ve seen much tighter reigns on this type of behavior. Is this abnormal how much we are seeing this happen in the Johnny depp trial?
Its the difference between a civil case and a criminal one, also the charisma of the various witnesses and even the main parties involved likely have a lot of influence over how it is proceeding.
Judge A has been pretty strict about courtroom decorum. That's why one of the bailiffs sit over by the judge's door so AH can't walk out. She threw EB out of the courtroom for breaking the rules. She should be brought up on charges of manufacturing evidence.
Different judges seem to have slightly different degrees of strictness. I did see the judge of Depp trial warn the observers once after Heard lawyer complained about them.
Bruce, I feel like I NEED you to watch and react to the testimony of Anthony Todt who was recently convicted of killing his entire family, including the family dog. A piece of work, that guy.

Just looking who is running for President and his plan to become a dictor, so you never have to vote again. Isn't that wonderful. Obviously you are talking about yourself or someone you know. I find former addicts are the worse in thinking everyone is a addict. I actually had recovery addict with 60 days sober saying I was a addict because I was depentant on a medication, that I take daily as prescribed. I am dependant on my blood medication also, but a lot addicts think you take a control substance you have to be a addict because they abused it and cannot be honest that most people can take a control medication and not abuse it. Addiction is a mental illiness, dependamcy is not addiction, but can be one of the many sign of it. But on it own it is not addiction. Many addict may get off the drug but still have addictive personilty and switch other addiction like gambling. 80% of addicts have underlining mental health issues and they are basically self medicating by numbing their feeling. But people can be jerks without drugs and this guy has been in jail for a year. Also when you are in jail you are around people who do the tough talk etc so you are not around people who are giving sound advice either. 80% of those in prison have a mental illiness.

I had foster kids. They were all in drug court by the time they ended up with me. We had a routine whenever a new kid came.
1) To get appropriate court clothes
2) A brand new bed with new bedding. Most of them had never had their own space, much less a clean bed.

You're videos are a true inspiration. Not only do you give great free legal advice, it's also hilarious. You dissolve that impression of the typical "don't give a shit, pay me" expectation some have immediately.

There was the father during the Larry Nasser sentencing. Everyone understood why he jumped toward that disgusting excuse for a human being. Prosecuter chose not to press charges.

That was great!
I wouldn't think his kids want to have anything to do with him!
He should have used protection, those children of his are going to suffer now.
The mom now has double the parental responsibility, this guy is in jail so he is not going to pay child support.
This all drastically increases the chance for the children to fail in school and although they are given more freedom, they have to learn hard lessons from hard experience rather than from a parent
The ex-wife dodged a bullet on that one. That man seems to have an explosive personality and potentially was abusive.

😂😂😂😂
I love the first guy “weeds been around for ages, since the 80’s and 90’s” lol been around a bit longer than that.
Many years ago I was sitting in a Waffle House at about 5 AM eating breakfast when I overheard a man calling another man names. The man had appeared before that other man in family court and lost his case. I sit there quietly and ate. I did notice the Judge was not returning words and was also trying to eat. The manager on duty asked the man to leave and he did finally leave. The Judge finished eating and paid his check and left. AS I was out of town it was several weeks before I had a chance to hear what happened. It seems the Judge opened the case back up and modified the child support order and also added some spousal support. Moral of the story? Don't bad-mouth Judges inside or outside the courtroom!
Whoever told you that lied. A judge can't reopen a family court matter and modify the terms after the fact unless the other parent requests the matter be reopened and can show cause as to why the motion for support needs to be modified.
@@DominicNJ73 My GF is a family law Attorney that is in the same Law Firm as the wife's Attorney. If I understand the case dynamics that case still had some final business and while the case was basically over the case was not actually closed or a final order entered into the record. In some states, these final orders can take weeks to get into the record. I did make a mistake when I used the words "The Judge opened the case back up" that was an error on my part. I should have said the Judge went back to a still open but final case and made some adjustments. Here is another point. Even if the Judge could not have opened the case up the Judge can still charge you with disturbing the peace and have you arrested. It is always best to just leave a Judge eating breakfast alone!
Literally all you're doing is proving to the judge why you shouldn't have your kids back...
@@StoutShako Agreed, there is an update to this story. The wife remarried and moved to Texas. This stopped the spousal support. One of the children will soon be 18 so I guess the child support will be cut in half soon as well.
If your story is true, you’re about the nosiest person I’ve ever heard of. Who keeps tabs on a random stranger in a conversation you happened to overhear, for years on end? Very strange.

He’s like “you can find me not guilty anyway!”

That last judge was so lovely. So professional while still getting the point across and she didn’t raise her voice or change her pleasant tone of voice. Loveeeee her
The judge who said I'd prefer not to to the request for oral copulation is awesome lol he was so chill, most chill judge I've ever seen lol what you said about the self-preservation thing is spot on but I think the reason they lack that is an intense insecurity, they know they have no power and their egos can't handle it. Especially when a female judge is judging an obvious beta male
You nailed this!!!!! E - G - O.
As a mother, I could not let someone get out early or anything less than life if they show no remorse. They'll get out and hurt someone else and I could not have that on my conscious. I couldn't look another mother in the eye and say "I couldn't get through a trial but you'll have to. Sorry it came at the cost of your child."
I like this guy, he's funny! And, should be required listening, to help people avoid going to jail for decades, just based on disrespecting a judge! Totally preventable
I would argue in their defense and try to drop all charges so i could do the job myself
He’ll be between 40-70 years old by the time he gets out, if I read everything correctly. She probably hopes he will come to his senses as he gets older. I agree that remorse is vital but we don’t know the details of the case. I’m guessing in her mind it makes sense for him to get another chance when he’s much older
They judge should have revoked the sentencing deal and let him spend the rest of his life in prison
Yes, just because she was to egoistic to take the trial on herself the murderer gets a way too low sentence.
Court is no fun man. I was arrested twice as a kid (minor in possession 8th grade. Distribution 9th grade) I got lucky enough both times to get deferred disposition and haven't seen the inside of a courtroom (aside from jury duty) in 9 years. My attitude towards the judge in both cases is mostly what got me off, especially the second time. You play nice, they'll play nice, to an extent that is lol

@@rolirolster yeah, and? Anyone of any color can have the same results as me, it's a case by case situation. They were non violent offenses.

What did his child do?
@@susancanter2909 from the way he talks about it it doesnt seems to be anything violent
My ex-wife during our child custody hearing “cocked off” like a maniac. Cussing, threatening, and insulting the judge. She has Multiples Sclerosis amd after our second child was born she has multiple flare-ups that did a number on her brain and exacerbated some psychological issues he had, and she developed borderline/histrionic personality disorders, and DID. She however no matter what care she was giving, and even under order from the court to receive psychiatric care, refused and would not seek to get better. Three lawyers back to back withdrew from representing her. The last hearing was via zoom and she was muted by the judge, she obviously kept running her mouth. And while doing that the judge gave her verdict that I got full custody of both our children, with her on,y allowed to have third party professionally supervised (children services) visitation. The kids wanted nothing to do with her, and after three years of that she finally started to seek help, but it’s too late now. Psychiatric issues can cause defendants in any type of case to lose badly if their issues go untreated,
Jesus.. That sounds like it must have been equally stressful and horrible.
Hope you and the kids are doing well!

Hey Bruce quick question... in the Johnny depp trial I’m constantly hearing the lawyers and witnesses talk over each other and we also hear the audience laughing occasionally. In other trials I’ve seen much tighter reigns on this type of behavior. Is this abnormal how much we are seeing this happen in the Johnny depp trial?
My personal guess is because it's a civil case. Although the lawyer witness thing must happen in criminal cases as well.
Its the difference between a civil case and a criminal one, also the charisma of the various witnesses and even the main parties involved likely have a lot of influence over how it is proceeding.
