Even while getting chewed out, the attorney still did the best he could to protect his client's rights. Atty Drukis, you are a gem.
truly.
The prosecutor helped him a lot too
This Edward Drukis remained absolutely professional and steadfast in doing his job, despite his client sabotaging everything. The defendant ask for a real attorney and he was lucky to get a real good one!
@phoenixlee7949 when the prosecution doesn't even hide their hand, lol. They EXPRESSLY tell you what's gonna happen if you go down a certain path, and you choose that route anyway! Lol
the guy is not mentally fit to represent himself in court, it shouldnt be allowed!
Keep this man in Prison forever... He broke a womans jaw out of anger... Keep him off the streets.
"My lawyer is telling me to STFU because the prosecutor is going to bring the hammer of Thor down on me, but I need to get this off my chest and the judge will see it my way...", says no successful defendant ever.
I had high hopes that the “Judge, I had my grandfather in me” defense was gonna get him off on a PR bond. I’m a glass half full kinda guy!
A result of watching too many legal thrillers.
Keep him right where he is. Dude is a danger to society
He's dangerous, but for everyone talking about how the police is sooo restricted and can't do anything to criminals, there's no bond possible that can stop multi millionaire criminals from fleeing the country if they want to, bonds are a slap on the wrist on the rich and powerful
@Offline-117 so what you would suggest?
@@D1amond145 I suggest people get more enraged at billionaire criminals than some clearly mentaly disabled lower class person.
@@Offline-117they are a slap on the wrist for poor people too now. Does that make it better?
@@herogibson 200k is a slap on the wrist for a poor person? You're outa your mind my guy, I dont get why people don't wanna acknowledge the double standard for the rich and how the media pushes people to act as though a random broke person is the reason for wars and famine around the planet. People should hold their wrath for the wealthy gluttons instead of strangling homeless people on the subway
Sounds like this guy shouldn't even be out of prison with 6 prior assaultive felonies. This case will hopefully make that happen. He's a clear danger to the community.
Did you hear anything? He's a poor innocent soul. Sounds like Hamas.
I thought ❌ichigan has a three strike law… I guess they suck at that like they suck at football.
Needs to taste test for S&W
He's mentally ill, not innocent.
He may be a clear danger to the community, but he would make a hell of a lawyer based on his skills on display in the courtroom.
This prosecutor ain’t playing and I am HERE FOR IT
She had the facts loaded and ready to fire. *mic drop*
for sure ......I can't stand men who put hands on women and children =(
I love the prosecutor here, she doesn't hold back.
She's a gem for sure. No social justice or DEI BS with her. Just facts.
@@thedizzyunicornkeep your snowflake crap out of court thanks
We are literally watching a man that has NO CONTROL over his situation, sitting in a turtle suit, grasping at any straws of control he can because he can’t stand not having control of the situation. He can spout off any mental health diagnosis he wants. He is a dangerous dangerous person.
It’s never been his fault. Never.
Whether he has those diagnoses or not, he’s still extremely dangerous and scary as hell!!!!!

He almost killed that woman. How about no bond!
He was crying poverty over 10% of 50K. Seems unlikely to me that he's getting out with it raised to 200K
I mean, 200k CASH bond is pretty much no bond. lol.
@@r6u356une56neyit wasn’t 10% of 50k. It was a 50k CASH bond. Which is a very rare bond.
I know but for some reason I just want him to hear "no bond" that hits different.
@@branbranshenanigans1693 I think actually hearing an extremely high bond, knowing if you only had money you would be out seems a lot of hurtful for someone then no bond. No bond means don’t hope
Defendant to his attorney: "No, let me talk. This is between me and the judge." No, it's between you, the judge and the record.
Defendant went out of his way to declare that he's got mental issues that almost require he be considered an ongoing, persistent violent threat to society and then DEMANDS bond to be 'considered'...
How could that possibly go wrong... ?
Yep. Every sentence he shouted made the case for higher bond.
I think that the point he's trying to make is that he shouldn't be held criminally responsible for what he has done. He doesn't grasp that that isn't a "get out of jail free" card, it's (at best) an "indefinite hold in a psych facility" card.
@@jpolowin0 yup, insanity pleas, although rare, don't tend to be nearly as sunshine and lollipops as TV court dramas make it to appear.
Well he does but just cause you have issues doesn’t mean your not guilty
Sound judgement from a crazy man right LOL. His attorney will be working extra overtime on this one 😅

"OH joy."
Yep! Did you see the prosecutor try to suppress a grin at that same point?
Everybody there, including the defending attorney, knew EXACTLY how that would go. Sorry to my boys record, but hopefully this guy will never see freedom again. Some humans just aren't human enough for it.

He is but if you think he’s fair and reasonable u should check out judge Middleton.

Wasn't it Judge Simpson who allowed a female to obtain her driving licence to avoid a violation, and wished her well. Firm and fair
@@nymetsfan912 Both are great judges.
I like when Judge Simpson tells this people SHUT UP before you say something that will put you in jail for life.
Mental health is not an excuse for dangerous and violent behavior. He needs to stay in prison.
Thank u so much for yr amazing statement makes my blood boil they all seem to say they have this mental issue or that mental issue to get them off the hook sick to death of it i have suffered with Clinical Depression most of my life thr no fault of my parents had amazing loving parents it makes us out to be like this scumbag they find out we have these kind of issues we all get oh well yr a danger to society no we aren't more than half of these monsters have never had health issue in their miserable lives just temper issues not the same so thank u so much I have been in Hospital 11 times in the last year broke my back in a fall a yr ago u know when the nurses ask u if u have any other health issues i have always been honest told them about my depression plus on meds for it over the stays I have had 3 patients that over heard us and upset me cos they said they wanted moving didn't want to be in the same ward as me i wouldn't hurt anyone of course they were denied but still hurts
@@mandyduffin6200 I disagree when it comes to paranoid schizophrenia. I represented a few people with that illness. Unless you have personal experience with schizophrenia then don't shoot your mouth off. Clinical depression is no where near the worst mentall illnesses you can suffer (I have it.) He was yelling that "his grandfather was inside 'him.' Two of my clients are in nasty mental facilities for life & the other two hung themselves in their cells. It was impossible to have coherent conversation. Cook County jail in Chicago has a huge population of people with mental illnesses. It's not the judicial system's job to house all of these people.
I’m always flabbergasted when criminals place their orders like they’re in a fancy restaurant. You’re a criminal! You get NOTHING!
I feel bad for his attorney. This clown is making it impossible to defend him and is going to waste the attorney's time....for FREE. If I were his attorney, I'd file a motion to abandon this defense since the defendant is intentionally going against counsel
This is the kind of case where you accept that you’re going to lose, and you count it as a win if you can get your client sent to a prison psych program instead of gen pop.
This is why I could never be a criminal lawyer.
In a way, the defendant is making his attorney's job simpler, by drastically limiting the options and arguments that could be made. "Judge, everything that could be said, has been said."
Motion to drop defence but before I do I would also like to file a motion for eval. xD
Bond revoked, forced to wait about 2-3 weeks for the eval then gets to try again with a differnt council.
Probably the best that could be done for him at that point.
It’s not free. You & I are paying for it.
God bless this defense attorney! This man needs to be incarcerated for LIFE!
Hope the outcome is sufficient
Ya too bad it took felonious assaults to get there. But I bet you he only gets a few years.
I just looked up this guys criminal record on OTIS. He's definitely a menace!
Yet I guarantee he sees himself as a victim... Smh. No remorse and no self-control.
Can you tell me how to look that stuff up on OTIS? I watch court and court channels all the time and that ability to see their record would be great.
I looked him up as well and all I could do was shake my head. He needs to be in MDOC for the rest of his life. I live in Michigan and so many people get off with a slap on the wrist.
@@dluten3 I'm grand rapids area how about you?
@@jasonlemere1683 just google "Otis michigan inmate search" and it should come up. Thats how you run Michigan
If you needed an example of why we need to re-open state mental institutions, it's this guy.
He doesn’t demonstrate any signs of mental illness. He’s just a violent rageaholic.
Most people suffering from mental illness do not commit violent offenses like this. Now one could argue long drug abuse is a mental illness, but in the context of criminality I do not think it's fair to lump all together.
@@Zamiroh He even says he is a "Paranoid Schizophrenic" in the early part of the video. And while I agree that the vast majority of the Mentally ill are not dangerous. There are some who are and who need to be kept out of society.
@@Lumposaurusnarcassists and brutes spew all sorts of excuses for their violation of others
@Lumposaurus it's very common for people to claim mental illness. That does not mean they have been diagnosed. He mentioned he had type 1 type 2 etc. That isn't correct. There are multiple forms of schizophrenia, but none are listed at type 1, type 2...
"Your honor, here's all my mental illnesses and the reasons I'm a threat to society. Please reduce my bond and I'll stop talking about the facts of the case."
I'm sure everyone there was just pitying his attorney.
😂 All the spectators watching waiting for their hearings are so entertained! Raheem who's in jail also is gonna let the whole cell-block know what a goofy theophilus is 😂😂
And with good reason: stay away!!
It’s interesting that they’re allowed to watch. Must be entertaining until it’s your turn.
@@pamelalansbury94it’s actually realistic since if they go in person to the courts they all wait in the courtroom until their turns anyways!
I noticed that, in the same jail.
You know you got a live one when the other defendants start paying attention to another person's case. Theo is in another universe if he thinks he deserves a PR bond. Why request a public defender if you're going to ignore his legal advice?
The other inmate in the frame next to him actually started laughing. There was one gentleman (Ryan Stuteville) that left because he couldn't keep his composure.
Melvin Reeves starts shaking his head the moment Theopolis Smith asks for a PR bond.
PR bond? Seriously? He needs to get his grandfather out of him.
Grandfather must be his cell mate in prison
😂😂
You'd be a fool not to ask tbf
@isaned 😂😂😂😂
Everything said in this hearing indicates jail is where this guy should be.
lol no prison
Everything? If he is, indeed, suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and hasn't been treated, he's hardly capable of being considered competent to stand trial. If, instead, he's lying to save his butt, then he deserves to live in a hole for the next 25 years.
@@johnp.2267 And jail is where he needs to be so those questions may be answered without the threat of further violence.
@@eggsngritstn Ever since Reagan removed federal funding for mental health facilities, people with serious mental health issues have been shuffled off to jails instead of getting proper treatment. While in jail, people don't get medical or mental health treatment worth a squat, since jails and prisons use for-profit third-party companies to provide said treatment, and are only expected to do the bare minimum. Usually, they do less than that.
There has to be a line drawn somewhere. Hopefully, if more people discuss the issues, we can find that line.
A prison cell is his spirit animal.
You can see the disappointment on Ms Hughes’s face when the defendant agreed not to talk about the facts of the case. She was clearly looking forward to having him confess on the record. “This is just between me and the Judge”… and the Prosecutor, the court reporter, the 10 other people on the Zoom call, and all of us on UA-cam, but sure you go ahead Mr Smith.
I was impressed by how clearly she kept telling him that it was not in his interest to push the bond issue. He'll never be able to say that he was not fully warned.
She makes no expression change at all when he agrees to not talk abotu the facts of the case.
Unlike multilpe other times, where she is clearly supressing a smile, or the look of absolute shock when he says "Please get me a real lawyer".
😂😂
Ms. Hughes is a superstar. She’s not going to have any trouble convicting him on all counts.
Also… I just finished the whole video - Theophlus Smith got *ANGRY* at the prosecuting attorney there at the end. I’d be terrified if I were her and he got released. Wow. He really thought he could talk himself into a PR bond and got $200k…
He is a danger
Massive props to counsel for the defense. Not that he needs to hear it, but I would reassure Mr. Drukis that he comes across as a real lawyer.
This is what happens when the client cant keep his mouth shut. Poor attorney.
The attorney advised him to be quiet. The defendant ignored the advice he was given. With video evidence of the beating, he is going away regardless of anything his attorney can do.
@@briangasser973 "poor attorney" meant @janetmoquin7828 felt sorry for his attorney, not that he is a bad attorney. You misinterpreted the comment.
'In his defense' (lol) mf did his job and got paid
11:26 the look of shock on the other inmate's face is priceless. Even he's like, "do not let this man out on bail! " 😂😂
Probably his bunkmate.🤣 Then he starts talking to someone in the background. In my mind, he told the jailer: "And this guy is in the bunk next to me?? Can I change cells?"
Starts to address his bond by telling the judge how out of touch with reality he is!!
I can only assume the magistrate set a $50k bond because they suspected it would be unaffordable I'm just glad that it is now $200k it sends a message to the defendant that he is waist high in deep poo poo.
The magistrate was probably Fink. She's pulled this shit before. She is a criminals judge through and through.
Did I hear him right? Did Judge Simpson say he felt the $50k bond was an abuse of power? Or did I mishear that?
@@Whitey2716He did say similar. I believe he was indicating the cash only was a little high, but he understood why. He set it higher, but allowed for bond. No bondsman should want this guy as a client, so he’ll sit.
@@Whitey2716"Abuse of discretion" was the term he used. Whereas an abuse of power would be (by definition) disallowed, he seems to indicate this was simply disproportionate.
50k is the same as 250k as far as he is concerned anyways so why not go for it, lol
This guy doesn't need to be in the public, period. The fact he still is and with so many mental disorders that are not being addressed is terrifying. We really need institutions to reopen.
The defendant chose self destruction over advice of council. Why have an expert and do it your self, and soo poorly to boot? The Judge simply let him do as he wished.
Because he thinks he knows better than anyone
Some kind of mental illness uncontrolled by alcohol and drugs.
@@supertoasting1011 Most felons do. That's why they get free room and board
The judge gave him many, MANY opportunities to shut up and listen to his lawyer. He didn't.
I mean it doesn't matter. He wasn't going anywhere anyways lol
I feel so bad for the victim :(
When Mr. Smith decided to go against the advice of his council, you could tell EXACTLY what everyone else was thinking about that choice, LMAO!! Normally, people waiting for their cases to be called don’t really pay much attention to the current case being heard, but omg, EVERYONE was tuned in to Mr. Smith’s sh!t show!!!!! If you’ve got free representation, USE IT!! Mr. Smith is NOT as smart as he believes himself to be, lol!!
🤦🏻♀️
Mr. Raheem Brag… has me crack tf UP!!! 🤣
Poor Mr. Smith. He is just dumb. Period
Raheem got to me too. He was probably thinking his case would be more favorable after the judge is done with this clown.
So glad he is behind bars. He’s so unpredictable and violent. Luckily he couldn’t control himself and showed his true colors.
If his grandfather is telling him to assault a woman so horrifically, let's keep Gramps locked up (a long with the grandson, of course!)
Omm, he said his grandfather was talking through him. He was having delusions because his grandfather is no longer alive. He probably has mental issues and is a danger to the community.
I get the sense that the poor woman Mr. Smith kicked in the face until her jaw was broken, “didn’t do nuthin’ ‘he’ said,” either. Good thing his attorney is well out of his reach…
I'm not sure how his dialect is relevant.
His dialect is relevant because that's how he speaks and we're talking about him.
Anyway, if I'm his defense lawyer, I'm telling the correctional officers to stand by the door while I speak to him. He can clearly snap at any time.
@@elizabetholiviaclark Always people like you nitpicking the wrong things, hellbent on defending the most violent, vile human beings amongst our society. Ridiculous. Go watch a few dozen body cam videos of criminals being caught terrorizing their communities and you'll understand why 'I didn't do nuthin' is such a classic phrase...
That poor defense attorney! He tried so hard to shut his client up and protect him from himself. Some people just can't be helped, I guess. And he showed absolutely no remorse or any emotion at all to what the prosecution revealed. He just glossed right over it and continued whining about his bond. So disheartening.
Thanks, OSG... You're the greatest! Love and Peace 💜
He also did it politely too! Seriously behaves like a good attorney on this video!
The other pending defendants are taking careful note on how NOT to act...
Both attorney's did a great job. I love how judge simpson let the defendant bury himself, while giving him every opportunity to stop digging

Thank you for increasing your own bond Mr. Smith. Brilliant work.
Ironically, he did the public a huge favor and took himself out of the game. Locked away is where he needs to be for the duration of his trial.
He was already out of the game lol
Drukis deserves an award for holding his expression even as his client asks for a "real lawyer." That's composure! 😆
I imagine he’s just staring down at his phone at this point waiting for his client to finish screwing himself over. It’s out of his hands at that point lmao.
Well, this inmate’s condition & felony is serious; no laughing matter. The police evidence he has already of the woman’s medical condition and there’s more to come, overall the man is dangerous.
AND Drukis responds politely when telling him to shut up!
Some people just can't take advice. In their head they're never wrong or guilty of anything, 🤦🏻♂️🏴
You know that you're fucking up when even the prosecutor is trying to convince you to shut up and listen to your attorney.
Reasonable judge calling out a lower judge for abuse of discretion and keeping a violent felon behind bars. Never thought I'd see the day!
So a defendant decides to inject themselves into the court proceedings and it actually works out badly? I know I’m shocked!
Prosecutor Hughes's telling of the defendant's record, especially the half dozen felonious assaults, made me immediately question why this guy was ever able to assault anyone else that is not a fellow prisoner or corrections officer for his lifespan.
"I ain't taking nuthin away from Drukis..." but I want a real lawyer. Gee thanks pal. What a scholar and a gentleman. I don't know how some of these public defenders do it.
What he's doing: He's confident in his ability to emotionally manipulate the judge, despite ALL WARNING that it was a fool's move.
He really believes crying about his grandpa will get him off the hook

Even the prosecuter tried to help him, they forwarned him that they would try and raise his bond, before he spoke. This is nuts.
“I think enough has been said”
That’s the understatement of the year. I feel sorry for the public defenders who have to deal with idiots like this.

Judge Simpson is top notch. Probably my 2nd favorite after judge Manning of Fulton Co. GA. He is great at sorting these people out.
Why do prisoners think they know more than their lawyers??!!
9:49 the judge almost busts out laughing. That had me laughing my ass off.
"Oh thats before me, oh joy" had me laughing HARD
A PR bond!?!? Hes crazy.
He caught a case and he can't deal with it
Judge Simpson seemed so thrilled to read that he would be the presiding judge over this case.
"We didn't get down to the A's and B's." 😂😂
Had me rollin the moment he started talking.
This dude is something else--despicable. It might be more cute and entertaining if he wasn’t equivalent to a vicious, attacking bobcat. Also I don’t think the court should rush the victim’s recovery just because this guy wants to rush everything. Just a gross and horrible guy. Don’t let him control the court. Good for Judge Simpson!
Following is heavily paraphrased...
Judge Simpson: "Do you want to carry on without looking at this other evidence?"
Defendant Smith: "Yeah! I don't care if there's something that might help me as long as this gets done on *my* schedule!"
Attorney Drukis: "This is a really dumb idea, Mr. Smith. Are you sure you want to destroy any chance you might have for a future?"
Defendant Smith: "Shut up! I wanna incriminate myself!"
I worked in the system for 30 years. This is a clear example of how the judicial system fails to even recognize mental illness. I would have given the defendant similar advice but I also would be trying to make it INCREDIBLY clear that he is unfit to understand the proceeding. Then I'd file a written motion.
He provided free entertainment for everyone on Zoom. Everyone was riveted and awestruck 😂
Ok, let's all give Drukis a complete round of applause for doing his job to defend this absolute piece of garbage. He did his job and the criminal didn't understand what was going on and didn't want to. Well done Drukis trying to protect your client from himself, but that client wanted this and he got it.
Nicole Hughes Rocks. She was not having any of what this guy was trying.
I watched this live. This is a perfect example of: Shut up.
You have a right to remain silent... Theo should use it!

Asking for a PR bond is so outrageous it shocks the conscience. I’m sure the magistrate who set this bond felt it was necessary and unaffordable. I have to wonder what was the relationship between the victim and this man. While I have sympathy for people suffering from mental illness, they can’t allow this man to run free. He is a clear cut danger to the public. I feel badly for Mr. Drukis. I’ve seen him before and he is an EXCELLENT young attorney. He tried very hard not to have this guy shoot himself in the foot.
Why did the judge say that you overstepped your bounds when setting the original bail?
@@dickgenitalia1506he said it was abuse of discretion? I wonder what he meant by that. Did he mean it was too much? I think it was a good amount so he couldn't get out. He's so dangerous, he definitely would've fled
@@JimNasium71he said USE of discretion not abuse. He was saying with all due respect to the previous magistrate…..not disrespect. He was showing respect and understanding as to why the previous magistrate only set the bond at 50k cash during arraignment.

Also, I believe paulsilverstein9168 mistakenly said that he was the magistrate……because he isn’t 😅
@@AD-HVACHe said abuse of discretion. It's at about 13:35 and it fits with the rest of the sentence. He says something about the magistrate going through something at the time that caused him to set a low bond, I'd assume it was an outside factor like the jail was overcrowded since if the magistrate just didn't have the evidence then that Judge Simpson has now it wouldn't be an abuse of discretion to rule based on the evidence available.
@@JimNasium71 I think the judge might have been implying that the magistrate could not set a cash only bond. I’m not sure about that but it’s pretty clear that the only one who wants that defendant on the street is the defendant.

Thanks so much OSG, phenomenal video.
I am so glad that the woman survived, and that there were both cameras and a witness. I feel so bad for the defense attorney, this guy is out of control and definitely has a sovereign citizen energy to him. I don’t think he is one, but he has that ‘I am going to do what I want to’ vibe.
If he does have those mental health issues, I hope that he is able to get them under control. However, the majority of people with mental health issues are more of a risk to themselves than they are to other people and the fact that he chose to attack someone and in such a brutal way makes me wonder if there’s much of anything that can be done to prevent future attacks especially with his past.
He’s the only one on screen that thinks he’s getting a PR bond. Everyone knows what’s coming. For heavens sake, THROW AWAY THE KEY.😮
It sounds like he is where he needs to be! In a turtle suit in jail!
Judge #Simpson is a favorite! He is so knowledgeable and in control.

He did seem to have a 'poor me, bring out the violins' vibe. It felt like he was just listing out illnesses when he said what he had.

If he isn't lying, I would want a detailed psych eval done (another one if one is already done!) for him due to risk and safety of everyone concerned including him.
I can see him mentally creating his new targets’ list: 1) his attorney; 2) the prosecutor; 3) Judge Simpson.
I bet he was so desperate to address the bond and request it be lowered so he could be released and get high
He should be held in jail for life. He is clearly a threat to everyone.
It the cleverness of the attorney to keeps him behind bar so that nomore 'troubles' in the outside world 🎉
Old Squishy, you have the best cases. This one was both unbelievable and sad. Still i found myself laughing out of control when his bond was increased to $200,000. I do send best wishes to this deviants victim.
I almost feel as bad for his attorney as that poor woman. What a pain in the ass this guy is
That guy is evil. No way he should be out of prison ever.
I was watching the faces of the others on the zoom during this train wreck. They were all like, what is happening? Even the CO behind James Austin was shaking his head.
When the other inmates are shaking their heads in disbelief, you know that you are in trouble! WOW
Mental note:
Never use the phrase,
"My grandfather was in me!" while attempting to reduce my bond requirements.
😂😂
Your honor, I'm a paranoid schizophrenic who is on video being a danger to others, I think this proves you should lower my bond 😎
Shocking outcome. Who could have seen it coming.
This video is CRIMINALLY under watched. Absolutely hilarious! Great find OSG. :)
You can try to lead a horse to water, but... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I see a psych eval in this defendant's future, but I imagine he'll pass.
Prosecutor was very good in this clip. Warned the defendant and made clear and concise arguments.
👍👍
They say a lawyer that defended his or herself is a fool... What is this individual when he is not a lawyer for trying to defend himself
Unfortunately not only is this failed to adhere to his lawyers advice he fails to to recognise the fact that the worst thing any criminal can do is represent him or her self 😢
