00:15Hi, everyone. I'm Dan Abrams, and this is Court Camp.
00:19You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:22I won't do it off my case.
00:24You got a rush?
00:30This is not TV court. This is for real.
00:40First up, we go to Lapeer, Michigan, for a sentencing.
00:4544-year-old Chadwick Mobley has pled no contest to first-degree murder and felony firearm.
00:5414 years earlier, 20-year-old Andrea Alper was alone, house-sitting for her aunt.
01:00When Mobley entered the home, tied Andrea to a chair, and shot her once in the back of the head
01:06before leaving the scene.
01:10Andrea's boyfriend, 19-year-old Kenneth Grandin, was originally charged with and convicted of Andrea's murder.
01:16Grandin was sentenced to life in prison, but maintained his innocence.
01:22And three years later, that conviction was overturned, after an appellate court found an issue with the verdict form.
01:30And four years after that, the case was reopened, when advances in forensic testing helped investigators discover
01:38Mobley's DNA on a cigarette found at the crime scene.
01:44Mobley, now living in Utah, was arrested, charged, and pled no contest.
01:50Mobley didn't know Andrea.
01:52As for motive, he told investigators he was drunk the night of the murder.
01:58Today, Mobley appears before Judge Michael Nolan to hear his sentence.
02:02But first, members of Andrea's family deliver victim impact statements, starting with her step-sister, Carly Teachout,
02:10who faces the now convicted killer from just a few feet away.
02:15To say that Andrea's murder was life-altering is an understatement.
02:19I was 17 years old when she was taken, when you shot her to death.
02:47Next to speak is the victim's aunt, Stephanie Hummer, whose house Andrea was watching the night she was murdered.
02:54There is not enough time I could be given for me to explain the absolute hell of losing Andrea in
03:02my home,
03:03as it is truly life-shattering.
03:06My wish for you, Judge Mobley, is that Michigan had the death penalty,
03:11in which you could be led knowingly to a cold, hard cheer,
03:16strapping your body down and ending your life.
03:19Before the judge imposes sentence, Mobley delivers a statement to the court.
03:24Firstly, Your Honor, I would just like to say that I'm so sorry to the victims and the family.
03:33I got no words that could bring themselves, but I am so sorry for the loss.
03:44The final person to speak is Judge Nola.
03:47The question here is not whether a crime was committed, but why.
03:51What happens here today is not justice.
03:55How can the court possibly offer justice to this family,
03:59when we can't even give them answers?
04:05It's not justice for Andrea Felber's family.
04:08It's been 4,901 days for this family with no answers.
04:17There's no justice being done today.
04:23The judge sentenced Mobley to life in prison.
04:25He'll have no chance at parole.
04:31I'm going to hold you in contempt, okay?
04:33And we're going to give you some jail time, okay?
04:38What a clown.
04:41Next, we're in Detroit, Michigan, for an arraignment.
04:4627-year-old Joshua Gubin has been cited for driving without insurance, registration, or valid license plates.
04:55A year earlier, Gubin was pulled over for the infractions, given a $90 ticket, and ordered to report to court.
05:04And today, he appears before Judge Sean Perkins to enter his plea.
05:08Gubin's represented by attorney Elwood Berry.
05:11Do you have documentation for this vehicle, Mr. Gubin?
05:15Uh, yes, I do.
05:17All right.
05:19Here's the registration.
05:21Hold up. Let's see what you have.
05:24That's expired.
05:26I have an insurance policy here.
05:29The only thing about this is I don't see a valid date.
05:34Oh, God.
05:36You cannot be serious.
05:38I'm serious.
05:40I'm surprised I'm not getting the same courtesy as the others.
05:43This is blowing my...
05:44I'm giving you the same.
05:45I'm giving you the same.
05:46I'm giving you the same.
05:46What's the record?
05:48Please.
05:49Don't say anything, Mr. Barrett.
05:52I don't see a proper date on this insurance policy that you sent me.
05:57So, you're asking to see a what?
05:59A valid what?
06:01I'm asking to see the date on the insurance policy.
06:04You gave me an insurance policy.
06:06I have that, but it has no date on it.
06:09All I showed was proof that the truck was insured, registered.
06:14All right.
06:14I'm not going to deal with it, all right?
06:17Let's set a trial date.
06:20I'm trying to get this dismissed.
06:22This is...
06:22This is literally holding me back right now.
06:25You're getting dismissed on the date on the trial.
06:28Nice.
06:29Thanks for, uh...
06:30No, I seem clear why I'm not getting the same courtesy.
06:33Your name is Sean Perkins.
06:35Ask him at my chance.
06:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:39Okay.
06:39I get it.
06:40I don't need to hear the blabby, blabby, blab.
06:42Just stop talking to me.
06:45I showed all my proof.
06:46I showed all the proof.
06:48I showed the proof.
06:50This is Sean Perkins.
06:51At this point, Judge Perkins seems to have had enough.
06:55Have a good day, Mr. Goomans.
06:56Mr. Uneducated Judge.
07:00Have a good day, Mr. Goomans.
07:02You keep on coming out of time.
07:02How are you even a judge?
07:04I'm going to hold you in contempt.
07:07And we're going to give you some jail time, okay?
07:09Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
07:13What a clown.
07:16You done?
07:17Anything else?
07:18Are you done?
07:19Anything else now?
07:22I'm going to hold him in contempt.
07:24I'm going to give him 30 days Wayne County Jail, all right?
07:28Do you have an absolute?
07:29I showed him every single proof of documentation that I needed to,
07:33and he refused to dismiss my stuff.
07:36Have a great day.
07:37We're not talking anymore, all right?
07:38We're done talking.
07:40Yeah, that's what I'm talking.
07:4030 days Wayne County Jail.
07:44Goobans served the 30 days in jail for contempt,
07:47and two months later was found guilty of not having a valid registration.
07:52He paid $108 in fines and court costs,
07:55and the insurance and license plate charges were dismissed.
07:59The case is now closed.
08:08Next, we go to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, for what's called a quorum court hearing.
08:18Quorum court is a legislative body of elected officials who conduct county business,
08:23including enacting ordinances and appropriating funds.
08:26The meetings are open to members of the public who can voice their opinions about items on the agenda.
08:33Today, 76-year-old Garland Trice approaches the mic,
08:37where he'll have three minutes to address the court.
08:40Trice is known to the justices, having spoken at past quorum court hearings.
08:51That's senior justice, Alfred Carroll, who's just off camera.
08:55Please state your name.
08:57The video is still going.
08:58We have the public out here.
09:00They want to know who's speaking.
09:01If you'll shut up, I will.
09:04Thank you, sir.
09:06Would you hear me?
09:07I heard you, sir.
09:09Be quiet then.
09:11Thank you, sir.
09:13All right.
09:14My name is Garland Trice.
09:18I just witnessed certain quorum court members not answering the road call took place.
09:26Mr. Trice, would you address the business that's on the agenda, please?
09:30The best I can recall, will you shut up so I can finish?
09:34Would you please address the...
09:35I'm not going to fit you as the county judge, okay?
09:38I'm not the county judge.
09:39I'm not the county judge chair of the meeting, sir.
09:41So I've got three minutes.
09:44Y'all have not had no committee meetings.
09:47So how can you pass anything if you've not had a committee meeting?
09:51Trice seems to believe that the justices have been conducting quorum court business
09:57outside of proper committee meetings.
10:03The justice in the pink shirt has just informed the court that Trice's three minutes are up.
10:13And Trice is not happy about it.
10:17You need to shut up.
10:19You don't tell me to shut up.
10:21What you can do is get that squirt of the body here.
10:24Another justice chimes in and scolds Trice.
10:28That's what you're not going to do.
10:30You're not going to disrespect me, sir.
10:33You play with him like this.
10:34You're not going to play with me like this.
10:37As things escalate, Jefferson County Sheriff Lafayette Woods, Jr. addresses Trice.
10:43Actually, sit down.
10:44No, I'm not going to sit down.
10:46No, you ain't going to tell me to sit down.
10:56When Trice refuses to comply, he's removed from the courtroom and can be heard arguing in the hallway.
11:08he's escorted out of the building where a witness records the incident
11:12as trice resists deputies trying to put him into a cruiser
11:39deputies eventually get trice in the vehicle and transport him to the station
11:43where he's charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest
11:47trice suffered no injuries during the arrest he's yet to enter a plea and the case is pending
11:57next we head to siren wisconsin for a bond hearing
12:0349 year old lee moritz has been charged with violating a no contact order and intimidating
12:09a victim a year earlier moritz's ex-wife was granted a four-year no contact order against
12:17him claiming domestic abuse but nine months later police say moritz violated the order
12:23when he texted his ex multiple times then three months after that he made contact again and was
12:30ordered to appear in court today moritz appears without an attorney before judge malicia mogan
12:38to hear if he'll be released on bond the state is represented by assistant district attorney
12:43jose villard mr moritz did receive a copy of that new complaint and that's what it looks like in
12:49your hand yes did you read it i didn't read the whole thing but do you understand that charge and
12:55that maximum penalty i really don't okay well it's easy they're alleging on june 13th 2025 you
13:03violated that you broke the law you had contact don't say a word okay and it's alleging that you
13:11knew you had contact and you knew you weren't supposed to have contact with that domestic abuse
13:15injunction okay i spoke to jose and he didn't help me at all i had not supposed to he's state
13:21he's on
13:21the opposite side oh i'd say i don't know how this works okay i have no idea how this works
13:26he's the
13:27attorney that prosecutes you so he's not the guy who can help you oh if you're looking i i miss
13:33i
13:34don't i don't understand how any of this works what you would probably like to do is retain your
13:40own attorney or um apply for a court appointed attorney i don't have enough money to buy an
13:46attorney right now okay so at this time you're representing yourself and that's fine and you can do
13:51that not guilty plea is going to be entered on your behalf mr villa what is an offer that can
13:57be
13:57presented your honor at this time i cannot present an offer we have further cases that are coming down
14:02the pipeline okay so you can understand mr moritz there are more allegations of you doing the very
14:09same thing and it looks like more charges more cases are coming down the pike okay
14:17i it's all greek to me but i need to talk to her because she did all my business work
14:24all my taxes
14:26and i need some documents from her to get i didn't abuse anybody i've never abused anybody in my life

15:18the law that's not justice okay all false allegations okay again i just want to go home
