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,
01:04and shot her once in the back of the head before 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,
01:27after an appellate court found an issue with the verdict form.
01:30And four years after that, the case was reopened,
01:34when advances in forensic testing helped investigators discover
01:38Mobley's DNA on a cigarette found at the crime scene.
01:43Mobley, 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,
02:07starting with her stepsister, 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.
02:26You were a coward, Chad Mobley.
02:30Only a coward would shoot and kill a 20-year-old woman in the back of her head.
02:34You are not good enough to be considered a monster,
02:36because even a monster would have told us why, which is all we've ever asked for.
02:40Chad Mobley, this will be the last time I think about you,
02:44you complete waste of life.
02:47Next to speak is the victim's aunt, Stephanie Hummer,
02:50whose house Andrea was watching the night she was murdered.
02:54There is not enough time I could be given
02:57for me to explain the absolute hell of losing Andrea in my home,
03:03as it is truly life-shattering.
03:06My wish for you, Chadwick 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,
03:22Mobley delivers a statement to the court.
03:24Firstly, Your Honor, I would just like to say
03:28that I'm so sorry to the victims and their family.
03:33I got no words that could bring them salt.
03:38But I am so sorry for their loss.
03:41Thank you.
03:44The final person to speak is Judge Nolan.
03:47The question in here is not whether a crime was committed, but why.
03:51What happens here today is not justice.
03:54How 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.
04:22The 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?
04:38Hey, clown.
04:41Next, we're in Detroit, Michigan for an arraignment.
04:4627-year-old Joshua Goobin has been cited
04:49for driving without insurance, registration,
04:52or valid license plates.
04:56A year earlier, Goobin was pulled over for the infractions,
04:59given a $90 ticket, and ordered to report to court.
05:04And today, he appears before Judge Sean Perkins
05:07to enter his plea.
05:09Goobin's represented by attorney Elwood Berry.
05:12Do you have documentation for this vehicle, Mr. Goobin?
05:15Uh, yes, I do.
05:17Where are they?
05:19Here's the registration.
05:21Hold it 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.
05:35You cannot be serious.
05:38I'm serious.
05:39I'm surprised I'm not getting the same courtesy as the others.
05:43This is blowing my...
05:48I 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, I'm not going to deal with it, all right?
06:17Let's set a trial date.
06:19I'm trying to get this dismissed.
06:22This is literally holding me back right now.
06:25You get dismissed on the date of 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?
06:35Uh...
06:35Hashtag my chance.
06:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:38Okay, I get it.
06:40I don't need to hear the blabby, blabby, blab.
06:41Just stop talking to me.
06:45I showed all my proof.
06:46I showed all the proof.
06:48I showed the proof, Mr. Sean Perkins.
06:51At this point, Judge Perkins seems to have had enough.
06:55Have a good day, Mr. Goofman.
06:56Mr. Uneducated Judge.
07:00Have a good day, Mr. Goofman.
07:02You keep on coming out of time.
07:02How are you even a judge?
07:03I'm going to hold you in contempt.
07:07And we're going to give you some jail time, okay?
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, and he refused to dismiss my stuff.
07:36Have a great day.
07:36We're not talking anymore, all right?
07:38We're done talking.
07:39Yeah, that's what I'm talking.
07:4030 days Wayne County jail.
07:44Goofman served the 30 days in jail for contempt, and two months later was found guilty of not having a
07:51valid registration.
07:51He paid $108 in fines and court costs, and the insurance and license plate charges were dismissed.
08:07Next, 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, including 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, where he'll have three minutes to address the court.
08:40Trice is known to the justices, having spoken at past quorum court hearings.
08:46My first.
08:47Please state your name, please, for the record.
08:51That's Senior Justice Alfred Carroll, who's just off camera.
08:55Please state your name.
08:56The video is still going.
08:58We have the public out here.
08:59They want to know who's speaking.

09:11Thank you, sir.
09:13All right.
09:14My name is Garland Trice.
09:18I just witnessed certain quorum court members not answering when the roll call took place.
09:26Mr. Trice, would you address the business that's on the agenda, please?
09:30The best I can recall.
09:32Mr. Trice, would you please?
09:33Will you shut up till I can finish?
09:34Would you please address the agenda?
09:35I'm not the county judge, okay?

09:40I'm not the county judge, 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?

10:19You don't tell me to shut up
10:21What you can do is get this put up out of here
10:24Another justice chimes in
10:25and scolds Trice
10:28Now that'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 that
10:37As things escalate
10:38Jefferson County Sheriff Lafayette Woods Jr.
10:41addresses Trice
10:44No I'm not going to sit down
10:45No you ain't going to tell me to sit down
10:47Thank you
10:55Thank you
10:56When Trice refuses to comply
10:58he's removed from the courtroom
11:00and can be heard arguing in the hallway
11:08He's escorted out of the building

12:37mogan to hear if he'll be released on bond the state is represented by assistant district attorney
12:43jose villard mr moritz did you receive a copy of that new complaint and that's what it looks
12:48like in your hand yes did you read it i didn't read the whole thing but do you understand that
12:54charge and that maximum penalty i really don't okay well it's easy they're alleging on june 13th
13:022025 you violated that you broke the law you had contact don't say a word okay and it's alleging
13:10that you knew you had contact and you knew you weren't supposed to have contact with that domestic
13:14abuse injunction okay i spoke to jose and he didn't help me at all i had not supposed to he's
13:20state he's
13:21on the opposite side oh i'd say i don't know how this works okay i have no idea how this
13:26works he'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
13:33don'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
13:51do that not guilty plea is going to be entered on your behalf mr villa what is an offer that
13:57can be
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
14:34there is in effect a domestic abuse injunction that says absolutely zero contact
14:44you can have zero third-party contact unless it's through an attorney so that's your option but i
14:51need some paperwork from her and i told you i need it i don't have any money so my life's
