"One of the Angriest Guys": Judge Confronts Repeat Offender

Описание: How a Plea to a Reduced Charge resulted in MORE JAIL TIME.

This Defendant appears for sentencing after a felony domestic violence charge was reduced to a second offense. However, the proceeding hits a major snag when the judge reveals a pre-existing 24-month probation from a separate case. Calling his new guilty plea a "quintessential violation," the judge navigates a "complicated" legal tangle to fashion a sentence that includes the jail time he cannot avoid. The court discusses Lockhart's history of violence, substance abuse, mental health struggles, and damning new reports alleging he was the "aggressor" in recent jail altercations.
