The defendant’s friends and family didn’t call the police either! Wow!
@@jamescarpenter7161you are not required to report a crime. Is it fucked up? Absolutely. But it’s not against the law to keep your mouth shut.
@@sean8671 If it was federal, it would be "Misprision of Felony" if you knew about the felony and helped cover it up in some way.
She killed someone because she wouldn't get an Uber. That poor woman didn't get to say goodbye to her friends, children, or grandchildren because this woman wanted to drink and drive and text. I HATE drunk drivers.
And she died a horrible prolonged agonizing death. All alone freezing and mortally injured. So sad, I shed tears for the victim and family.😢
I cannot imagine the suffering of that poor lady as she died alone on the side of the road.
Wow! This reminds me of that woman that hit a homeless man and drove home with him stuck through her windshield. She parked her car in the garage and left him there to die, and it took him about a day to die while she partied in the house.
It’s pure evil!
I think it’s happened two or three times that a DRUNK MONSTER struck a pedestrian and the pedestrian was stuck in the windshield.
Doubled her bond to $100,000. She definitely screwed up her whole life and will be serving time.
Tragic. A coworker of mine retired early to work full-time to get his daughter out of jail in a similar circumstance. It didn't work; 15 years plus restitution. He and his wife ended up raising his daughter's children instead.
@@eggsngritstn On the plus side the grandparents get to enjoy their grandchildren full-time
He's made mention of that, actually. Making the best of a bad situation.@@philster6383
I believe everyone she told needs to be held accountable for the woman's death too?
i agree. if my roommate said that to me, i would casually ask where and then i'd "go to the bathroom" and call 911. but given her casual statements about planning to be fucked up from a baby shower, my guess is that she might say weird shit when she's drunk and everybody assumed she was just doing that.
I saw this case this morning. Its very disturbing. What I dont get is how someone can get so drunk, drive and then kill somebody and then never report it. I. Pretty sure if it was me,there would be no bond.And the key would be thrown away. As well it should! But everyone will forget that someone died, that it too her several days to report it. The justice system sucks.Hearing that she's a nurse is all the more troublesome.
Wow! I would think additional charges will be forthcoming for the roommate and any others Courtney called, texted, and told what happened. NO ONE CALLED 911! Complicity is NOT OK. Just heartbreaking all the way around. I hope you're doing well, my old friend, and your gardens are growing beautifully!👩🌾😊
thanks wendy...honestly, mygarden has kiinda sucked the last two seasons, the channel consumes waaay too much time..lol
I highly doubt the roommate/friends will be charged unless they actively helped her destroy evidence.
Emotionally, yes, you feel that her friends should be held accountable for allowing this to happen. However, there are no positive requirements in law for any lay-person to do so. You _might_ be able to charge someone considered a mandatory reporter, like an LEO, but most likely not her friends.
Without any positive action, the cannot be held responsible in the law. Conspiracy laws, that would be the charging instrument closest, requires a person to take some action in furtherance of the crime.
@OSGCourtWatch Perhaps the compensation with regard to your gardens is how much the community LOVES your channel! I'm still honored, to this day, to be your very first Mod on your very first Live.❤️
I believe (not sure) that in New York there's a "bystander law" that would hold all of these other people accountable that knew what happened and did not report it immediately.
IMO she's a GIGANTIC flight risk...because she "flew" from the original crime scene AND concealed evidence!!
Very few states require you to report a crime, and those that do generally require it only if you have observed that crime or it is a crime against a vulnerable person, such as a child or the elderly. There are also states that require passerby or witnesses to render or call for emergency aid, but that would not have applied to the roommate or any friends/family who found out after the fact.
Travis was getting on my nerves. Very distracting.
I agree with the reply that he was fascinated but I’m betting he’s the boyfriend. But I also agree his constant movie around was very distracting!
What a tragedy. If she would have just stopped…. 😢. And the infamous “Mr Allen”. Those words send shivers through all.
Yep, "Mr. Allen" and the Judge covering his face. Neither bodes well.
I just learned the que for the bailiff to stage his presence from other court watchers!
Thanks court watchers for helping newbies 😅
@eggsngritstn I get the face plant but couldn't get how bailiff knew to position himself until I asked the wonderful YT court watchers!
Thank you everyone that answers without making fun of us that don't simply know.🎉
And... this trustworthy young lady works in a HOSPITAL?
I used to be an ICU nurse, and once in a while we'd get med techs on the ward that we'd catch in obvious lies, little ones, but there was no way we were letting them have anything to do with caring for our critically ill patients. We'd drum them out so fast! (We were very protective!)
But if she's good at deception, and is proven to have poor judgement, then she needs to not be involved with patients or children.
@@usmcchrisg It was always a tip-off when a tech had entered 18 sets of vitals, including wieghts, when you knew for a fact that they hadn't left their computer station for an HOUR! A missed BP was no big deal. (You check it if you need to.) A falsified one really is! Docs make meds orders that rely on that data!
@@TheTehme Example: In ICU part of morning vitals was doing weights, but it's often physically impossible to get those done for every patient. If the doc needs it they can ask. We discovered that a tech had just been entering patients' last weight with vitals even if she hadn't done one. When asked about it she lied. It took 2 people to weigh vent patients with our system, yet she always entered the exact same weight as before, while we knew for certain it hadn't been done. It would've just been a teachable moment if she hadn't lied and broken trust.
That's the only big one I can think of. Others were smaller, but enough to lose trust. Most techs were amazing.
Love how Judge Simpson quietly slips in "Mr Allen" while he's increasing bond. That's when you know......
She left hat poor woman to die in the snow by herself. Enough said.

Not worth one drunk night was it. Please call a friend or Uber people!
@@millipedicShould be an even stronger incentive not to drink. Or stay home if you are.
Now that Uber and Lyft is available we should be seeing the DUI’s dropping drastically but I don’t think they are.
I feel some other folks deserve charges in this very sad case. Thank you OSG!
Amazing how a individual that killed someone has no remorse.
Because they withheld information to a crime
Quoting the law to Simpson is foolish
It’s actually pretty valid, not quoting law to the judge, but using case law to support your argument. It’s a fairly common practice and generally not considered disrespectful to the court
@sparkplug1018 no I get that just im looking at the value of doing such considering the effect was double the bond value
@@paulfranklin4276 At least in this situation I don’t think that’s why the bond was doubled. I could be wrong of course
He's brushed up on it when he went before the judicial commission and got suspended for 9 months. He was lucky to not be disbarred.. interestingly it was a drunk driving case he interfered in.. personally! I could forward you the hearing or you can look it up. Frankly, I'm surprised more channels don't expose it. Obviously Simpsons ' pulling power' by members, is more important than facts. 🤷🏻♀️
Isn't that vehicular manslaughter. What was important is calling police after she hit the woman.
How did she get bail for killing someone
If she called the police afterwards they couldn’t have arrested her for DUI SINCE SHE LEFT THE SCENE. She could have gotten drunk after she got home.
Not just manslaughter but leaving the scene of an accident and obstruction of justice by deleting texts and getting her friends to cover up for her. The friends and family should be indicted as well, maybe that will get her to accept what she has done. The DUI could only be filed with circumstantial evidence if her fellow party goers admit it and the texts are recovered. They need to do a hair follicle test on her which will Dede T drug use for the last 40 days or more.
HeII, w/so many of progressive Lib judges/DA’s/Def attny’s now, they won’t even prosecute those who’ve been arrested for dui/dwi dwi/pi, murder, armed robbery, etc, but rather just give out fines, community service work hours, and probation!
Unbelievable how low the possible sentence could be
WTF! She killed a human and went home. SHE SHOULD BE IN JAIL. Some lawyers will sell their souls for a buck. This is some BS. CAN THIS FAMILY GO GET THEIR THE MOM?
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, entitled to a defence, and to be judged by a jury of their peers. Yes, the lawyers do these cases, but they also stop innocent people from going to jail.
So little rich girl gets a high talking lawyer thinking he knows more than the Judge Simpson. Priceless 😅
They brought the bondsman with them to court, this girl definitely thinks she's gonna beat the charge. Horrible what happened to that poor woman.
They probably brought the bondsman who backed her into the first place because he's already 50k invested in her and the lawyer likely knew her bond was gonna get jacked up.
It's not about beating the charge, just about trying to minimize her time spent in jail pre-trial.
A brother-in-law who is an attorney stated that as a defense attorney he made sure the defendant, if guilty, was given a sentence proper to the charge.
I think the fact they brought the bondsman in no way shows they think they’re going to beat the charge. Why would it? All it shows is that they were pretty sure that bond was going to be raised. So yeah, your comment makes no sense.
So this defendant, if proven, was not suffering from any mental illness. So this is what a sane upstanding citizen does? Put on your big girl panties and fess up to your crime!
I use to bartend and would drive home around 3am and one night I was driving a man appeared out of nowhere, his sweater was the exact color of the road, black pants, made him camouflage until I was right upon him.
I remember swerving and hearing a bang, I started screaming and to this day I remember the panic ,for a split second I thought about just driving, but a half second later pulled out my Nokia and while screaming tried to dial 911 but I'll never forgot I misdialed I dialed 991 ..I could see the man at this point holding his arm, I could see my mirror was pushed against the passenger window and relief flooded my body, I remember asking if I should get out as help to the dispatcher and they said NO, I was close to 2 different areas none to police for drugs. The man ran away while I was wwaiting on the cops, got a case number and the cops told me not to worry because he ran from the scene they said he had no later claim for injury.
To this day that night haunts me and I slow to a crawl when i see ppl riding or walking on the road. I never got over thinking i killed someone. Horrible
You exhibited a quality we call empathy. I would have felt the same as you, and it terrifies me so much that DWI is something I could never do. Unfortunately, this defendant appears to lack that quality. I feel awful for that poor woman and her family.
Let's play devil's advocate here. Let's say this person made up a story. If they did, does that mean that nobody ever experienced something similar? Why do you discount it? Do you have evidence that the OP is untruthful? Or does it make you uncomfortable because you don't want it to be true?
I never understood why folks just discount the stories of others. YES there are those who will shovel the BS thick and steady, but usually it's to forward some agenda. I don't see why you would suspect that of a person whose story sounds individualistic. And, ultimately, your disbelief doesn't change the truth.

And it said to this day that Travis bogan is still playing with his camera 😂
The Legend of Travis Bogan and His Inability to Stop Fiddling with His Camera. A classic tale.
I don’t understand how people will get dressed in front of the camera or walk around while court is going on
Good defense attorney. Like legit good at advocating for his client.
Hope his client goes to prison forever and a day, but he made an argument far better than I thought he could with these facts
No as a taxpayer I don’t want to pay to feed house and clothe someone for the rest of their life especially if they won’t be contributing anything to society.
Disgusting that you can end someone’s life and get out of jail. She should have NI BOND. This is pure insanity. She’s a monster.
Don't Drink and Drive!!!!
Worst way to start with judge Simpson? Piss him off.
Instead of showing these anonymous people…..they should be showing the Defense when there’s a ruling.
Rest In Peace beloved mom grandma sister aunt daughter. Blessings Be
Geez, Travis… sit still dude
OMG I pray that the victim didn't have to suffer before she died. That's horrible !!!
She is better off to start serving her time now. She’s going to prison so sooner she starts the sooner she will get home.
She needs to realize that Judge is the least of her worries.. the one up above is the one she needs to worry about for what she has done. May the poor lady RIP.
Roommate Sara probably lied in the beginning saying "I know nothing" but once she heard her dear roommie left someone dead on the side of the road, decided to do the right thing and admit that her roommate said "I think I hit someone". Went on to tell her family, too? Yea... she screwed up astronomically.
What a sad story. 😢 oh, just gotta say I needed a dramamine after watching that Travis dude.
I just heard the words Mr. Allen signaling for handcuffs 😂 I've missed the que until others told me that was the signal😅
This guy highlights the difference between big bucks... and a court appointed lawyer.
7:06 Good question @OldSquishyGardener . ... . NOTHING is ever deleted for good, therefore the prosecutor knows what was deleted. That fact makes the defendant look even more guilty imho
Happy birthday, Judge CSimps!!! ❤🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁🎊
I can't be the only one here who wants to know the deal with Travis Bogen. Fascinating display.
This is a hard case for me to watch because my brother was killed the same way a few weeks about on March the 3rd. by a guy that hit him and went 3 cities over and then reported hitting something on the highway about 18 hours later! He's free now! I don't know how his case is going to go yet but doesn't look good because my brother had no business crossing a highway at 1:30 AM on a Sat. night. They think he wanted to kill himself but even if he did he should have stopped and called 911! Not wait 18 hours later to say something. I believe had been drinking and that's why he didn't stop. This happened in Richardson, TX. Victims name was Omar Guzman Hammett in case people want to look the case up. It was Dallas County.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. This actually happens quite frequently, which is horrible. My sister’s SIL was killed the same way in February in Maryland. However, the person did stop. So that made it easier. I’m so sorry you had to go through that and probably wonder every single day if he could have been saved. I hope whoever did it pays for what they did. Bless you.
Jesus, this is grim.
Judge Simpson is my favorite to watch.
Here we go again, that digital foot print gets her again! It makes me sick, to think she was more worried about getting a DUI instead of getting help for a victim. How could you be so cold and Callous?
Shocking and sad!!!
Attorney was going a great job until that comment against Judge.
The APA dynamic duo, you're in trouble now.
Team Skeptic directed me to. A big thanks out to him. Enjoyed your channel
This reminds me of that drunk lady that hit a man he was stuck in her windshield she drove home parked in garage with guy in her windshield and he died like two days later. I might be a little bit off on that case but close. It’s bad enough to hit them but then to let them die because you don’t want to get into trouble. Why didn’t any of this girls friends or family call the police once they found out?
Her "5 or so family members" in the court room raised someone who would leave the scene of a serious accident, not call 911 so that medical services could attempt to rescue the victim, then try and cover it up after the fact. The family has also clearly ponied up the money for Bond, the high-end lawyer and likely other financial assistance. In short, the family that raised someone who could do the above, continues to attempt to protect her from the consequences of her actions. I am confident that this a representative example of enabling that has occurred her entire life....to the defendant's profound detriment. They should stop.
Team Skeptic!🥳 ... he said come to the channel & show some love - thanks for the content😊👍🏾
Excellent defence attorney. I found it odd that the prosecutor was stating all the new evidence and allegations as fact when she is simply addressing bond, not proving the allegations in a trial. But then, she is heading to circuit and I know Conley will hear it fairly. The trial will be tough.
The prosecution is stating things like that because this is a bond hearing... the seriousness of the allegations is one of the factors for bond. The state is presenting what it says happened but doesn't have to prove it beyond reasonable doubt as this is the bond hearing, not trial. If the state had to prove everything twice, you just wouldn't have a bond hearing at all. There will also be some evidence in the filings that we can't see.
“Let’s roll” “wanna come at me, let’s do it” YEAH, Judge Simpson isn’t having it!!
In the next township over, a young man hit a pedestrian out on a dark road. The police found car parts that allowed them to investigate and identify him. When questioned he said he hit a deer. They found cigarette butts at the scene that they tied to the driver, showing that he was there for several minutes. He was not convicted of a crime.
Omg, why was he not convicted? Jesus I don’t understand the police and court system today.
It’s all so crooked.
What is up with Travis?? Sit still already!
Watching Travis become increasingly interested in the case is my favorite part of this video.
Ok who is Travis? I assume it’s the guy on the screen watching. Is he related or something?
Very curious and want to know……😁
Doing the right thing is always the hardest choice but if you do the right thing, you cannot ever do wrong. She made a dumb decision that ended a womans life. Hopefully everyone learns from this and just take accountability.
She won’t ever take accountability. Her friends and family aren’t. They should be held accountable as well. They knew about it and did nothing.
@jamescarpenter7161 I agree. Her family needs to hold her to it and lead by example otherwise next it could be her left on the side of the road to expire.
If she used signal they wouldnt have been able to hack her phone
Hi Squishy 👋 good to see you 😊 i agree with judge here..defendant tried to conceal evidence and cant be trusted..
Why do they have people who aren’t even apart of the case sitting on a zoom call?
what the defense was trying to say: "this information has come to light and changed the prosecution's request. however, my client is presumed innocent and a bond judgment was already made."
what judge simpson heard: "this information has come to light, but _you're_ the one who gave her this stank-ass bond. i'd like to make a record that j. cedric simpson loves drunk drivers. why do you love drunk drivers so much? huh? why do you love negligent vehicular homicide? why don't you _marry_ drunk drivers if you love them so much? just lower her bond to $0.25. thank you, your honor."
👉you forgot this hand gesture before defense addressed Judge Simpson. lol
Great defense attorney. Almost as bad ass as a NYC defense attorney.
Great post! Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thanks.
One of the better defense attorneys I've seen on UA-cam.
I’m absolutely disgusted by this one! She’s standing there like some innocent bystander with all these people supporting her yet the actual victims family has to deal with the notion their loved one died alone on the ground because this drunk left her there. She is an absolute DISGRACE to the field of nursing and if she worked at the hospital I worked at there is no way in hell id work with her. How can you be trusted with other patients or trusted to back up other nurses in an emergency when you’ve shown you’ll allow someone to die in order to cover up your mess? She is so low down I really hope the board of nursing prevents her from ever registering again after her license gets pulled cause you better believe it’s going to be pulled. My heart breaks for the victims family this is so senseless and disgusting.
sooooo much going on in this one ! …
thank YOU, ✨OSG
sadly KK this is where we probably lose track of it since judge slay quit streaming...frustrating...
The accountability is what gets you in worst trouble. Ive seen people get away with hitting and killing people on accident when they were sober. They called the police and stayed for the whole time but it was also dark outside
Did the defendant’s lawyer say that she’s gainfully employed at a HOSPITAL⁉️
Im not gonna lie...i feel like im witnessing the trail of my murder or something as the victim and I have the same name. It keeps catching me off guard.
Confused she is pleading not guilty? She should go to prison for 20 years.
“You want to come at me let’s go” damn judge.
Travis perked up and is invested
bad girl! very bad.
That defense counsel was a bold SOB! Cheese-us crimeny to go toe-to-toe with Judge Simpson takes a bigger set of gahoonas than I got! 😂
The difference in outcomes of this case are hugely based on the fact that she attempted to conceal her involvement, conceal evidence and even worse, talked about it. What’s to stop her from trying to persuade the witnesses not to testify? Clearly, she didn’t think she’d get caught, which means she had a higher likelihood for fleeing. A DA has a duty to zealously defend their client, however, it’s fairly tactless to challenge and accuse the judge like he did. Guess it doesn’t matter if they have a bail bondsman at the ready, so the young blonde white female gets to live her life freely until the trial commences…
These relatives ought to be charged with conspiracy!
I think she should be held without bond.
'Mr. Allen'...love when Judge Simpson slides that into his findings!! We all know what's about to happen!
The problem with drunkenness is that it's fueled by this magical thought of, "well I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing!"
You choose to kill someone, that's what makes you a murderer, you choose to sell drugs, that's what makes you a drug dealer, you choose to drink, and that's what makes you responsible for your actions while drunk.
The defense attorney's voice is magic to my ears. Just listening to him speak is a form of meditation. Just wow!
Ok judge Simpson, are you gonna do your investigation in this case too 😂😂😂😂😂
Travis B, c’mon man. Don’t move around so much or, if that’s not a possibility, rent your forehead out for ad space. Geez. I know she’s [possibly] your girlfriend, but walking around nervously was obnoxious. And work on your poker face. I died laughing at the way you grew up your hands as if she just got charged with a foul at a Lakers game! 😂😂
Rather see the def and pros then the 2 people waiting their case. Not sure why the court zoom does it like this. Great case tho. Defense is going to need a lot of luck.
Hey defense lawyer, if it was your wife she murdered would you still be so adamant?
Mr Attorney, it'd be better to make the argument that your client was f'ed up
Wowzers !!!
How is she free? No way.
I agree!! Attorney was on point!!
The fact yall thank she will get alotta time is not gonna happen unfortunately
Innocent until proven guilty. No rules broken in the two months, showed up when required, not right that bond was increased. Bond is not supposed to be used as prepunishment
Big deal the murderer has 5 people supporting her. Are they the people she told and did nothing?
This is a BOND hearing. He's right, charges are the same so bond should be as well. Common Sense. Not the defendants fault they didn't get duck's in a row. It's called the constitution
@@tidefanman1Which might be why a request to revisit the bond is allowed, as it's also well within the constitution.
Regardless of it being the same charges, if the bond is thought to be not enough, then it should be reviewed. Sentences and findings of guilt are appealed and reviewed all the time, even though it's the same charges, it's allowed.
