Back in my days in business the first time I got caught in a lawsuit my mentor told me to always always always make every effort to seem like the reasonable party and make the other side seem crazy in contrast.
She is like their Momma the way she lays it out. Which is good because there are many people that haven't had the mother that was really there to love them and yet lay down the law. She is a sweetie!
One of the good things about Mike's videos is getting to watch how the justice system works on a day-to-day level. Seeing how the sausage is made as the saying goes. It's these interactions that are all a part of what keeps society functioning. Ain't always perfect but as long as people with the desire to do the right thing are out there trying, that all we can do.
@@LawTalkWithMike Mike, PLEASE, try to get a follow up on the Moor that Middleton sent to jail? Or is it out of Middleton's hand at this point? I'm not sure if the Judge still has a role in that case.
Holy hell that guy has got a DEEP voice. But look how smoothly these things can go when you've got a defendant who cooperates and lets his lawyer and the court work for them! Who would have thought that cooperating with the court process and not acting out can wind up being to your benefit!? I also agree with the Judge when it comes to weed. It just strikes me as an excuse for people who want a legal justification to get high. Although, maybe they wouldn't have to if the American healthcare system didn't force people to bankrupt themselves to receive real treatment.
💯!! I also thought her comment to the defendant about weed-therapy being a scam came from a place of genuine concern. Kinda like a doctor giving you unfiltered truth, I would’ve appreciated her honesty if I were in his shoes.
I'm sure there are people who overuse medical marijuana, but it actually does help people. I have Tourette's and I tic so bad that I become physically exhausted, and I slap the crap out of myself and anyone else who is close to me without meaning to. It's not that I want to be blazed out of my mind, but it is nice to not feel like something is taking over my body and jostling it to death. I do agree with the judge, however, that you should get actual therapy for mental illness rather than just masking the symptoms.
I have truly fallen in love with your channel. Shows the human side of the justice system both civl and criminal. We are all human. God I love this judge. It ain't curing everything. Lol
Wow! This case was a breath of fresh air on this channel. A defendant who let his lawyer do the talking. We haven't seen that before. When asked a question by the judge, he said either "yes your honor" or "no your honor". Best part was at 3:40 when she asked "is there anything you would like to say on your on behalf"? Answer was "no, your honor". Best answer he could have given! This guy must be a genius (notwithstanding what brought him there to begin with). He wasn't under the influence, smoking a cigarette (my personal favorite), trying to lay down for a nap or walking around aimlessly. Somebody give this man a gold star for his court appearance. Could we be seeing a new direction for this channel?
I also see you on Legalbytes and enjoy your comments in the Cluster F**k of Depp v Heard. I also subscribe to your channel. I have now become addicted to several Judges zoom cases. I wish my attempts to continue to become a Paralegal or Court Reporter had not been halted by school closures, etc.
That is one of the smartest defendants you've ever covered, Mike. Met with the lawyer, heeded the lawyers advice, shown the court he wants to do better by proactively getting treatment, was on time and professional, let the lawyer speak for him at court and didn't take the opportunity to speak for himself, allowed the judge to speak, was incredibly respectful to the court, cooperated with the sentencing- and even if he had a difference of opinion to the judge about marijuanna - recognized it would not have been appropriate for this forum. Amazing.
I had to hire a lawyer once for something fairly minor. Well I didn't have to but I did it anyway on the advice of my parents. Cost me some money but it was worth it. My goal was to not go to jail I didn't care about anything else. He told me to just be quiet and don't say anything unless the judge asked me specifically and to be very brief if I did speak. They basically worked everything out before we even went to court amongst themselves. All I had to do was agree to it and keep my mouth shut. Worked out fine in the end.
I do like this judge, but I cringed pretty hard at that statement. I'm sure some people use it because they just want to be high, but it can help reduce symptoms like chronic pain, or Tourette's.
I’m a Ohio cop(just context). She should not be inputting her opinion on medication. If a doctor recommends medication, then she should not try to influence or make a ruling on medical advice!
Pot, while great, has its limits; it makes most pain tolerable, but is probably not going to cure everything like the strongest advocates claim. plus, it exacerbates certain types of crazy.
You gotta love when you leave a court date smiling. It can take a lot sometimes to provide some levity in such a serious environment (of course while also maintaining the court's demeanor). I think, at least for minor crimes, more people would view the court favorably if they got to see a more human side (and the court saw the human side of their defendant, such as Judge Frank Caprio of Providence, RI).
She is giving great advice concerning this young man not letting his issues gaining control over him That does it, you took my beer away, lock me up.You Judge, just shot me through my heart. No beer,.
The judges argument against using pot to treat PTSD reminds me of the argument against Prozac back in the 90s. "Prozac doesn't make you happy, it just makes you think you are happy." That always sounded like Mission Accomplished to me.
Exactly. She's spent years of having that war on drugs propaganda thrown at her, as well as probably seeing the many ways people have of making stupid decisions. Also, I'm curious what she thinks people with chronic pain conditions such as RA and fibromyalgia should do. There's nothing that they can do for those conditions other than treat the pain. I guess she'd rather they take opiates instead.
@@thetickedoffpianoplayer4193 Completely agree. I have PTSD, and using CBD and THC in specific doses helps me deal with the symptoms without having to take things like Xanax for the intense panic attacks or sleeping meds because my night terrors make it impossible to sleep peacefully sometimes. People spout off ignorance as if these studies by doctors are completely invalid.
Hello Mike, I just started watching your videos and I am doing so in order. Love judge Middleton -- but after this video I also want more judge Bryant. She is fantastic!
"Miracle Weed"? Oh, I can see it now ... Someone's pulled over, the officer finds Miracle Weed, and the driver says, "Oh, my spouse asked me to pick up some Miracle Whip."
It is not a cure, it handles symptoms. No doctor pretends otherwise. Does she really believe that pain relievers and anesthetics are somehow medically unsound simply because they are not cures? There are a lot of different sources for chronic pain, so yes, it can apply to multiple conditions. There is no completely safe treatment of anything, but there aren't cures for everything either and as far as mitigation for the kind of conditions it is prescribed for, it is far safer than alternatives such as opioids. She is a judge, not a doctor. Forget any questions of practicing Law from the bench, she should not be attempting to practice Medicine from the bench.
Though she is dead wrong on weed, it can indeed be used to treat mental health to a degree, it can help cope with it. She needs to read the science on it.
"If YOU BELIEVE, in your HEART AND SOUL, that I ~ that this court ~ has no jurisdiction over you, MA'AM DON'T COME!" "I PROMISE you, if I thought the court had no jurisdiction over me, I WOULD NOT GET UP OUT OF MY BED." Her Honor is not playin' LOL.
This is the 3rd time I've seen Judge Bryant in one of your videos and I've seen 3 different sides of her personality. This one she's very understanding, professional, and humorous towards the end. The last one she was just professional and funny throughout the video and the 1st one was with the Moorish SovCit and she was very terse and not having any of her sh!t. I like her.
She messed up when she said she would need the reason why he would be prescribed opiates. Lol she cant ask for that 😂😂😂 still love this judge! Shes my fav!
Marijuana has very little proven medical uses compared to the claims, but it does have a negative effect on those with mental illness. I have a son with schizophrenia and his times of court imposed time in the psych ward are always preceeded by increased weed usage.
There are multiple studies showing that marijuana can help with PTSD. There's preliminary research that it may be able to slow tumor growth. Some people take it for the side effects of chemo but studies seem to indicate it can actually make that worse.
I was having a hard time understanding the attorney for the defendant. Towards the end it got easier. But when he first stated his appearance, I was like “huh?”
"Everybody come over here." 😂
You can take the Judge out of Detroit, but you can't take the Detroit out of the Judge... 🤣
😂😂😂
HAHAHA such a breath of fresh air! I loved it
🙌
Feeling personally attacked by this judge 🤣
I'm glad you found her because she's a treasure and a half. I look for any video that she's in . She's definitely the REAL DEAL !!!
"Miracle weed. Imma keep that one, judge!", I almost DIED.
Love Judge Bryant. She has great wisdom and compassion. I love her care for the defendant yet keeping it real.
Wow a reasonable defendant and a good judge, just shows how far being reasonable can get you.
Agreed
Back in my days in business the first time I got caught in a lawsuit my mentor told me to always always always make every effort to seem like the reasonable party and make the other side seem crazy in contrast.
I’m in the mug mug mug military!
Mike, I hope you find more judges that make your audience smile. Just a great vibe coming from her.
🙌
Ok Judge Bryant is sentencing half judge / half momma!!!!!!
“Boy, I KNOW you ain’t treating yourself with that miracle weed! Come on now!!”
😂😂😂
She is like their Momma the way she lays it out. Which is good because there are many people that haven't had the mother that was really there to love them and yet lay down the law. She is a sweetie!
"Ya'll is lying, you just want to be high." -Tell us how you really feel judge.
Actually I just don't want to be ticcing 24 hours a day. I'd like to have a life.
Glad you're covering her. She's my favorite! She cracks me up 🤣

That was the best🙌😂
@@LawTalkWithMike Mike, PLEASE, try to get a follow up on the Moor that Middleton sent to jail? Or is it out of Middleton's hand at this point? I'm not sure if the Judge still has a role in that case.
Oh yes he had to have a hearing on the contempt charge and set the cases for trial
@@LawTalkWithMike Got it!
Thanks, Mike, for turning us on to Judge Bryant!

Always a pleasure Mike, always a pleasure

The thing is, that’s normal. If you watch zoom court in general most defendants aren’t clickbait worthy.

Great judge! She is empathetic and also realistic.
Doctor: " I've written a prescription for PTSD symptoms. "
Dude: " Sokay, I smoke weed! "
I have PTSD, and while weed helps ease off the symptoms, you're an idiot if you just use that and don't try to get help for it.
Somebody alert Pauly audits this judge is practicing medicine without a license
😂
Please no!! We have enough crazies here in Michigan, we don’t need to import new ones!!!! 🤪🤪

Exactly; not sure when law school reacquired medical school credits…. This was completely out of order
I love Judge Bryant. I have just started watching her and she is a trip. I listen to her at work and sometimes have to LOL forgetting I am at work.

Why don't judges have that same attitude about SSRIs/SNRIs? How about all of Big Pharma?
I think that judge was great, kept me smiling and felt she still did the right thing.
This is so funny! The end was hilarious. It seemed like the defendant was pleased with the outcome of his case too.
That is one of the smartest defendants you've ever covered, Mike.

Judge Dr Lynice Bryant at your service, I can judge you and evaluate you medically at the same time.

"Justice tempered with mercy..." This judge is a good 'un!
LOVE her!!! She seems very fair and concerned for the welfare of defendant. And I love her rant about MJ - "y'all just want to be high." 😁😂

I do like this judge, but I cringed pretty hard at that statement. I'm sure some people use it because they just want to be high, but it can help reduce symptoms like chronic pain, or Tourette's.
Justice was served. Great job all around.

OMG! the Miracle Weed? She is great with that line. Great find, Mike.
Thank You 🙌
There a lot of judges that don't seem to care or have common sense it's nice to know they're actually out there.
Judge Bryant is something else! I’ve been following her for a little while. She definitely has quite the personality.
🙌😂
I absolutely agree with the Judge. 👍
Love the judge, and love the impact she had on Mr. Allen.
What a very personable and funny judge. She was very professional when it came to holding court. Thanks Mike.
🤩
Nobody has said that weed cures anything. But as a sufferer of arthritis at 73, it certainly helps!
I wish I could like a thousand times.
She scheduled the review for 4/19, so he's even more excited about 4/20 next year...
😂
Hey Mike, the channel continues to grow my friend, well done, keep bringing all the crazy to us and good luck. Belly rubs for the boys too!
Thank You 🐶🐶🤩
As a retired hippy with a medical marijuana card, I resemble her comments.
"You can't own alcohol". I use booze in cooking, for sauces. One more reason not to do crime is to not end up deprived of healthy ingredients.
They lost me when he didn't claim to be there by "special appearance" 🤣🤣
I’m a Ohio cop(just context). She should not be inputting her opinion on medication. If a doctor recommends medication, then she should not try to influence or make a ruling on medical advice!
Hey Mike, treats and belly rubs to the boys from me. I loved that Judge she was so funny

She is a soldier. Absolutely, never let someone else’s actions control your emotions.
Pot, while great, has its limits; it makes most pain tolerable, but is probably not going to cure everything like the strongest advocates claim. plus, it exacerbates certain types of crazy.

It is the current era snake oil. Those who abuse it think that it does a great many things that it does not.
As with anything else, moderation is the key. Having had 10 spine surgeries, marijuana has definitely helped with the pain in my case.
There are multiple studies showing that marijuana can help with PTSD. There's preliminary research that it may be able to slow tumor growth. Some people take it for the side effects of chemo but studies seem to indicate it can actually make that worse.
