Judge Jackson orders ROR.

Case 18: A person who is awaiting an appeal court hearing. ASA Turiello argues that this not proper time or place to argue for bail.
Judge Jackson explains he has done extensive research on this and has determined this appropriate venue and time.

Which reminds us, if you not know about #KeithDavisJr, you should read up on how police, prosecutors and judges cover up and enable violent policing.

Judge Jackson says he has a greater concern for community safety than this person's safety in jail. Orders HWOB.

That is today's docket. Take care of yourself tonight. And don't call the police.
