July 9th. ... on a disorderly conduct charge and at that time you pleaded 'guilty' and I sentenced you to 10 days at the ACI You have completed your 10 days of incarceration at the Adult Correctional Institutions. ... and thereafter, when you were brought back here... ... on the, uh, 19th day of July... At that point While you were being placed in the cell block. Allegedly... uh... oh strike that. During the, uh... sentencing date of July 9th, 1999... as a result of certain conduct... during the course of your proceeding... you were also cited, uh, for 'contempt of court'... uh you pleaded 'not guilty' to contempt of court and I held you on cash bail, which you were unable to provide so you were sent to the ACI You were brought back here... ... on the 19th... of, uh... July. to be, uhh.. ... have your case heard... ... on the contempt of court citation. You were not represented by a council. I indicated that we will give you an opportunity... to have a council when we continue the case. While you were being placed in the cell block you, allegedly, told Sergeant Sarandier that you will take joy in killing him and that you will take... ... great joy... ... in killing me. As a result of those comments, I directed Sergeant Sarandien... to have Providence Police Department contact the attorney general and charges were brought against you for threatening a public official. That is not before this court. That is before the superior court. Nevertheless, I have in my possession your record which is extensive. Covers several states, several aliases, and several social security numbers So any threat you make of that nature... I take very seriously and accordingly that matter is being... ... processed through the superior court. You are here today on the... 'contempt of court' citation You have now been in jail... uh... ... for some... ... 21 days... How do you plead at this junction to the 'contempt of court' citation? Well, your Honor... I was told... by that gentleman right there that if I plead 'no c...' 'no compl...' How you pronounce it? 'Nolo..." n-no 'no..' 'n-no c 'Nolo contendere.' 'No condero' I'll get credit for time served. Is there anything else you wanna say to the court? That's all. So that's how I plead? No conclendo? It's 'nolo contendere' It means 'I do not contest' Yeah. By pleading 'nolo contendere' that means that you ... admit all of the essential elements of the offense Do you understand? Yes. And I was told that I would get credit for time served and the deal woul- the case would be over. Well the matter of contempt of court may be disposed of... ... today. on your 'nolo' plead. But he told me if I plead like that... That gentleman right there told me if I plead like that... ... it would be over with today. *mutters* Well, lemme... lemme explain to you Very, uhh... Very simply... ... what the situation is... You have... As you stand before me right now... ... you have two charges. You have one of contempt of court and you have another of 'threatening a public official.' Well, just what we was talking 'bout; if I plead... "no colendo" to the contempt of court-- I want you to listen to me for a minute, You have two charges. That are now presently pending. One is 'contempt of court'. yes, and the second is... ... 'threatening a public official'... Yes. This court only has jurisdiction... ... over the 'contempt of court' Which I ordered--- --brought against you Yeah. So, you can dispose of the 'contempt of court' ... matter... ... before this court today. But, that will not dispose... ... of the 'threatening a public official' charge. I am aware of that, your Honor. You understand that? Yes, I do. So, you are pleading... 'nolo' to the contempt of court Yes, I am. Is that correct? Yes, I am. Do you desire to apologize to the court? I apologize, your Honor. The defendant has been incarcerated for a period of 21 days... ... on the contempt of court citation. The court will give him credit for time served Accordingly, the 'contempt of court'... ... matter is hereby disposed of for time served. Twenty-one days is hereby remanded back to the Adult Correctional Institution... ... to be held on the charge of 'threatening a public official'. And your Honor, is that the last of my charges? That's the last charge I have, right? To my knowledge. Thank you very much, your Honor.
That was the best court freakout I've ever seen
Ironically the film Double Jeopardy came out the same year.
EDIT: He seemed a lot nicer when he came back and pleaded "No Nintendo"
That's Double jeapordy!!!!
Michael: This is double jeopardy.
Wallace: Michael, that's not how double jeopardy works.
Michael: Oh, I'm sorry. I meant, what is double jeopardy?
I plead "no colendo!"
Although I agree with the judge on his charges because the guy came in there with a huge problem with authority, which is probably why he has such an extensive record and rightly should be put in his place....but I think it was obvious that he suffered from some sort of mental disorder. Instead of shuffling him in and out of jail. It would of been more appropriate to have him evaluated and have him receive help. Then maybe you'll never see him in handcuffs again. Jail is just gonna make it worse it seems.
I don't know why, but I hate the fat bailiff in the white shirt. Fuck that guy.
