I wanna ring, be in public crowd.

11

:

Yeah.

12

:

All right.

13

:

Welcome to the Judgemental Podcast.

14

:

Today is a current events day.

15

:

We're gonna talk about

the armored Langford case.

16

:

Armand.

17

:

Langford case out of Louisville,

Kentucky, where a man with 19

18

:

robberies was shock probated.

19

:

He was rearrested on a home

invasion robbery of a bank, a PNC.

20

:

And allegedly stabbed a woman.

21

:

All of these allegations are alleged.

22

:

LOL, how many times did I

say that in one sentence?

23

:

Yep.

24

:

Also, we are going to talk about a RICO

case that was filed against family court

25

:

out of Missouri last time we did our

recap of the five different divisions.

26

:

So we want your feedback.

27

:

Also we did a special on YouTube.

28

:

We've had, we were the first

people to release the sentencing

29

:

and the shock probation hearing.

30

:

Of Armand Langford on our

YouTube, it is youtube.com.

31

:

Our handle is judging the judges

and just Google or search judge

32

:

y, but you wanna get into it?

33

:

Sure.

34

:

All right.

35

:

So, Armand Langford this was in

front of Judge Jessica Green.

36

:

Just a super, super short recap.

37

:

There was, I think it was August

8th, there was a woman was in St.

38

:

Matthews.

39

:

A man allegedly entered her house,

abducted her and her two minor children.

40

:

At knife point, right?

41

:

Yep.

42

:

Made her drive to a PNC bank on

Shelbyville Road, allegedly stabbed

43

:

her in the stomach or something.

44

:

Narrowly missed her lung.

45

:

Oh my gosh.

46

:

And yeah.

47

:

Demanded $20,000 from the bank.

48

:

The bank complied.

49

:

Put $20,000 on the ground.

50

:

He grabbed it and ran and was

caught later that afternoon.

51

:

Just down the street,

allegedly, allegedly.

52

:

And then when he was rearrested,

come to find out he was on probation.

53

:

For 19 robbery seconds and one burglary.

54

:

First he had 14 years.

55

:

14 year sentence.

56

:

Yeah.

57

:

And , at the sentencing we got to hear

from one of the victims and how she

58

:

was terrorized and permanently injured.

59

:

Mm-hmm.

60

:

And was never gonna feel

safe and secure again.

61

:

She was a badass.

62

:

She was.

63

:

Yeah.

64

:

And so it was interesting 'cause

we initially got the shock.

65

:

And so shock probation is something that

the judge has absolute discretion to do

66

:

if it's a probation eligible offense.

67

:

And essentially it has to be filed

30 days after sentencing and before

68

:

180 days because after that 180 days

you become basically property of

69

:

the Department of Corrections and

everything's gonna happen through parole.

70

:

And through the executive branch.

71

:

And when we were watching the

Shock, I mean, we were watching

72

:

the shock probation hearing.

73

:

It seemed like a foregone

conclusion, right?

74

:

No, it did.

75

:

It really felt like, okay, this

is what's going to happen next.

76

:

Mm-hmm.

77

:

And at the shock, I mean, there were

several things that were notable about it.

78

:

As we pointed out in the YouTube

videos, during the sentencing, the

79

:

judge set a hearing for shock probation.

80

:

And shock Probation doesn't happen

unless the defense attorney files

81

:

a motion and it has to be filed.

82

:

30 days after the sentencing, but Oh yeah.

83

:

That, that is like something

that cannot be understated.

84

:

And that's why we got the sentencing.

85

:

'cause we watched the shock

and I was like, what the fuck?

86

:

You can't, like, it made no sense.

87

:

No, it made no sense.

88

:

Yeah.

89

:

And then, it just became clear.

90

:

The judge set the shock, told

the attorney to file the shock.

91

:

So it was like, this is going to happen.

92

:

Uhhuh.

93

:

It was predetermined.

94

:

And so, and this is a

very intelligent judge.

95

:

This is somebody that Uhhuh

doesn't, this was not, I mean, so.

96

:

Former prosecutor.

97

:

Yeah.

98

:

This was somebody who really knows

what they're doing, which is what

99

:

concerns me is because it just

seemed like this was happening.

100

:

Mm-hmm.

101

:

This was all put in

place, special treatment.

102

:

It was all perfu perfunctory.

103

:

It certainly seemed like special treatment

because this is not a case and, I'm

104

:

not the criminal attorney in the room.

105

:

Yeah.

106

:

You were the expert at

those kinds of things.

107

:

You, you've made very clear this

is not your normal case for shock

108

:

probation, not 19 violent crimes.

109

:

No.

110

:

Then all of a sudden, , and

it is not even that a defense

111

:

attorney wouldn't make the motion.

112

:

Yeah.

113

:

Because the defense attorney's

going to make the motion.

114

:

That's their job.

115

:

But it was just presumed that this

person was going to be before this

116

:

judge for shock probation, and the

judge just went ahead and, and set

117

:

the hearing and then approached it.

118

:

From the point of view that

she was granting it right from

119

:

the very beginning basically.

120

:

And the thing that's bizarre, like

when I saw it, I have never seen

121

:

a shock hearing set at sentencing.

122

:

It's not allowed by statute.

123

:

It's KRS 4 39 2 85.

124

:

I think that's right, but it has to

be after that 30 days, I reached out

125

:

to an attorney in eastern Kentucky.

126

:

I reached out to an attorney

in western Kentucky.

127

:

I've never seen that happen.

128

:

Thousands of cases I've watched.

129

:

It was so bizarre.

130

:

And I asked some Louisville

attorneys like, do you guys set

131

:

shock hearings at sentencing?

132

:

And then some of the feedback that

I got was, well, if the Commonwealth

133

:

isn't objecting to shock as part

of the plea, they may set it for

134

:

a hearing, which I still think is

a absolute violation of statute.

135

:

Well, the statute says

how you have to do it.

136

:

Yeah.

137

:

And this is one of those things I know.

138

:

It's like I get on my little soapbox,

it's super annoying, but I'm just like,

139

:

Louisville makes up its own rules.

140

:

Like, I was a practicing

attorney for almost five years.

141

:

Tried, you know, class B felonies.

142

:

I came into Louisville District

Court the first time I was here and

143

:

I was like, oh, lucky, lucky you in

a different, a different country.

144

:

Just because you guys say 17

acronyms doesn't mean you're smart.

145

:

Like, it's like there is just this

in entitlement in the Louisville.

146

:

Elected arena.

147

:

Now, obviously I'm a big Louisville

fan as far as our food and our

148

:

entertainment and blah, blah, blah.

149

:

But I don't know.

150

:

I was shocked that the judge did that.

151

:

And then the fact that the judge

sentenced this man to 14 years and

152

:

then probated him to his mommy's

house and to outpatient treatment,

153

:

but also to mental health court and.

154

:

Said over and over and over that

this was only gonna be if he

155

:

gets accepted into mental health

court and is contingent on this.

156

:

Yeah.

157

:

He doesn't get accepted and then the order

comes out and never even mentions it.

158

:

Yeah.

159

:

So she didn't, I mean, you, we see

the order contradicts everything that

160

:

she said in the sentencing, right?

161

:

Well, and or I'm sorry.

162

:

In the pro, , in the shock hearing.

163

:

Well, it's like, and judges speak

through the written orders, which is

164

:

like flashback to what an attorney

had to tell division five on Monday.

165

:

That's true.

166

:

I digress.

167

:

But they do, they speak

through the written order.

168

:

So in the, her oral rulings, I guess if

you wanna call 'em that is like, oh, I'm

169

:

gonna shock you if you get into mental

health court, mental health court, mental

170

:

health court, and I really hope you do.

171

:

I really hope you do.

172

:

And, and it's like, really

rooting for you here.

173

:

Mm-hmm.

174

:

And then he doesn't get in, it's

like, oh, I'm gonna do it anyway.

175

:

And just says she was a, an order

that was, it was really shocking

176

:

to release someone with I mean.

177

:

One of my big takeaways from the

sentencing was that this defendant's

178

:

mother is very impressive,

accomplished person, Uhhuh.

179

:

Clearly he had a good family

system around totally to help and

180

:

this stuff was still happening.

181

:

And you, so the judge like

made the decision like, well.

182

:

She's, she's smart, he's

got a good family system.

183

:

We'll, just, , they're

obviously able to manage him.

184

:

We're not gonna have, we're just

going to make him follow his

185

:

mom's rules and live there and

not be accountable to anyone else.

186

:

Yeah.

187

:

And I'm a jackass.

188

:

I completely interrupted you.

189

:

We haven't even told everyone

listening about what the victim said.

190

:

I'm so sorry about that.

191

:

Oh, no, no.

192

:

Go ahead.

193

:

No.

194

:

What did the victim, when she did

her victim in impact statement.

195

:

Where she said that like

she was leaving a funeral.

196

:

She was Oh yeah.

197

:

Elderly.

198

:

Oh yeah.

199

:

She was going to the ATM to

buy the family from the funeral

200

:

food, I mean, and got robbed.

201

:

Yeah.

202

:

So I mean it, it was

bizarre and it's bizarre.

203

:

It's infuriating in and of itself

because there are victims here and

204

:

another person actually got stabbed.

205

:

And the kids, I think seven and

11 years old, one was autistic.

206

:

Ugh.

207

:

And had to sit there and ride

with the car, in the car with

208

:

someone who had a knife up to

their, their mom's neck, allegedly.

209

:

Allegedly.

210

:

So that, that's infuriating.

211

:

But it comes at a time politically

that this case is just, seems to be

212

:

tailor made for people that wanna take.

213

:

Some of the, a lot of the

power away from the judges.

214

:

Mm-hmm.

215

:

Who I still believe are in the best.

216

:

Position to determine what happens

to specific defendants in their

217

:

courts and the circumstances

and to look at it and mm-hmm.

218

:

You ca if you legislating that

away and going back to cookie

219

:

cutter, you know, you have to do

things this way every single time.

220

:

It didn't work.

221

:

It's been tried.

222

:

It hasn't worked.

223

:

Yes.

224

:

Well, so, and I completely

agree, like this is the notion of

225

:

separation of powers and mm-hmm.

226

:

We have three branches of government and

that the judiciary should be in charge

227

:

of what the judiciary's in charge of.

228

:

Yeah.

229

:

The legislature should be in

charge of what the legislature's

230

:

in charge of, and now the

legislature, they were given a gift.

231

:

They were given a gift by a judge

that made a horrifically bad ruling.

232

:

Yes, absolutely horrifically

bad, wrong, awful.

233

:

Don't have enough words to say how stupid.

234

:

This decision was, it just makes no sense.

235

:

No, and I think there's more to it.

236

:

I mean, I don't think there's

any Now by law, the charges

237

:

were eligible for probation.

238

:

Yes.

239

:

So she had the statutory authority

to probate them, although

240

:

she didn't have the statutory

authority to set the shock hearing.

241

:

No, but I think that was probably remedied

for legal gurus out there and I think once

242

:

he filed the motion, yeah, it's really,

it's, it is important that we say that the

243

:

judge had the authority to do this and.

244

:

I still think it's a very

important authority and, and

245

:

discretion for a judge to have.

246

:

I think a judge should be able to

shock probate people and to look

247

:

at the circumstances of a case

for a large number of reasons, and

248

:

I don't, and, and I hate , that.

249

:

That authority and that discretion is

being criticized based on a bad decision.

250

:

There are gonna be bad decisions.

251

:

Anytime you give people discretion,

they're gonna be bad decisions.

252

:

I don't like that, but , it

is just, you're right.

253

:

Handing people a gift.

254

:

It was handing the other side a

gift to politicize a, a weapon.

255

:

Now , I do think, and I mean

this wholeheartedly I do think

256

:

that it needs to be investigated.

257

:

I think there was, it absolutely

needs to be investigated.

258

:

I think there is more to the story

about why this young man got probation.

259

:

I don't think someone with guys, and

we haven't fully explained this on

260

:

this podcast, we're talking about nine.

261

:

Teen individual robberies with

either A-G-U-N-A knife or a rock

262

:

or physical force used on 19 random

people, including elderly people.

263

:

Yes.

264

:

That is not something, you know,

that should have been probated to.

265

:

Fucking outpatient treatment.

266

:

Like I said, on my appearance on WHAS

eight 40, everyone was set up for failure.

267

:

If this true, if man has significant

substance abuse issues, they

268

:

alleged mental health issues.

269

:

Mental health issues, yeah, they

allege a traumatic brain injury.

270

:

But he was set up for failure

by outpatient treatment and

271

:

follow the rules of your mommy.

272

:

Yeah.

273

:

It just seemed nonsensical.

274

:

, The court kept talking about the family

support, which clearly was there.

275

:

Yeah.

276

:

But those 19 things happened

with that family support.

277

:

Mm-hmm.

278

:

And so then going saying, well, clearly

the situation is good enough at home

279

:

to make sure this doesn't happen again.

280

:

This made absolutely no sense to me.

281

:

None.

282

:

, I agree with you.

283

:

I am so not jump to conclusions about

anything, but the more we've dug into

284

:

it, I, the more, I think there clearly

was something else going on there.

285

:

Mm-hmm.

286

:

This was, this was some form of a

favor or something like that, that I,

287

:

I believe with it will be uncovered.

288

:

There just isn't another

explanation for it, especially.

289

:

That makes sense,

especially with the judge.

290

:

That's smart.

291

:

Well, especially with.

292

:

It isn't like we had a judge that

appeared to be on the fence or

293

:

against it had to be convinced.

294

:

Mm-hmm.

295

:

It, this seemed like this was

determined from the beginning.

296

:

Mm-hmm.

297

:

And that that just doesn't smell good.

298

:

And it was like, come hell or high

water because it was like, okay, you're

299

:

getting shock probated even though you

didn't get into mental health court.

300

:

You know what I mean?

301

:

Not that I think personally mental

health court would've been appropriate.

302

:

I think inpatient dual diagnosis would've

been the absolute minimum, but I, I just

303

:

can't foresee probating 19 victim crimes.

304

:

My issue though is, is more that just

like the judge is very clear, I will do

305

:

this, but only under these circumstances,

those circumstances didn't pan out.

306

:

Something happened that we don't, I

mean, obviously something happened

307

:

when the cameras weren't rolling

and when , the record wasn't on

308

:

that just a decision was made.

309

:

Well, we don't need

those extra protections.

310

:

It was just, let's just grant

it and it doesn't pass the smell

311

:

test to me, it really doesn't.

312

:

I hope they do investigate it, and

I hope with everything that happens,

313

:

like one, I get on my soapbox

about how the local media is just.

314

:

Incompetent, frankly.

315

:

And they don't report

on things accurately.

316

:

They don't report on the things

that they should report on.

317

:

But everything is nuanced and more

complicated, and I don't wanna make

318

:

blanket statements, and I 100% believe

that people with substance abuse issues.

319

:

Need treatment.

320

:

I am all for probating

drug addicts to treatment.

321

:

I treatment.

322

:

I mean Purdue, pharma,

the devil, Sackler family.

323

:

The devil all day.

324

:

Like if there had been 19 robber or 19

thefts of a weed eater from a garage.

325

:

Put the person in rehab,

inpatient rehab like all day.

326

:

But you just upped the ante when you're

willing to traumatize 19 people, you know?

327

:

Yeah.

328

:

Well and physically injure.

329

:

Yeah.

330

:

Yeah.

331

:

I mean, he caused permanent physical

damage to an elderly person.

332

:

Well, he was convicted of doing that.

333

:

Yeah.

334

:

So that's not even allegedly.

335

:

And we heard a statement at the

sentencing from the victim, so.

336

:

Yeah, just crazy.

337

:

And then the media reaction, like you

said about just like the politics side

338

:

of it is everybody just has their little

things out to be like, Ooh, how can I

339

:

make this, spin this to my talking point?

340

:

How can I spin this to my talking point?

341

:

And it's like, let's actually

look at the root of the problem.

342

:

One, the case needs to be investigated to

see if there's a connection Absolutely.

343

:

Between the family and the judge

or something else going on there.

344

:

And then two, there was a WDRB

article that of course made me mad.

345

:

Can you imagine that?

346

:

Hmm.

347

:

About, they were just basically

saying, one, how it happened and

348

:

that they used anonymous sources or

judges that wanted to have anonymity.

349

:

Yeah.

350

:

But I mean, they,

351

:

we have anonymous sources.

352

:

We Good point.

353

:

We don't have anonymous sources

that we get up here and just

354

:

say they are the victim.

355

:

They are the victim.

356

:

They are scared.

357

:

They are the best mommy

that ever mommy a kid.

358

:

Or they are the best daddy

that ever daddy a kid.

359

:

That is true.

360

:

That article was written like these

judges are just in such fear to come and

361

:

defend their colleague and you know what?

362

:

I'd be willing to bet.

363

:

$5,000 to a charity of their choice

that these judges did not review the

364

:

shock hearing, the sentencing hearing

and the file before they picked up

365

:

the phone, the little anonymous source

phone to say, Hey, we're the victim.

366

:

There's absolutely no way.

367

:

Yes.

368

:

I, I, I agree completely.

369

:

So if there's a judge out there

that did all three of those things

370

:

before you snitched to WDRB and just

said, oh my goodness, I'm so scared

371

:

to go to the country club because

someone might, you know, threaten me.

372

:

I don't believe it in any capacity.

373

:

Well, also the threats

themselves are so problematic.

374

:

Like who?

375

:

I mean, I don't know.

376

:

, I guess that's just where we are

currently as a society, but that, that.

377

:

Is do Well, here's the

other flip side of this.

378

:

No, you're right.

379

:

Do not ever threaten a judge.

380

:

That's insane.

381

:

Don't threaten anybody.

382

:

I mean, anybody like, what the hell?

383

:

But the bigger thing is if there

were these salacious death threats.

384

:

I didn't see any of them

mentioned in the article, did you?

385

:

No.

386

:

That had been, and I haven't, yeah, that

had been clickbait for WDRB all day long.

387

:

I agree.

388

:

I, in fact, I even happen, was reading

about, you know, reading one of the

389

:

articles about this and I got a link

to something about a woman that got

390

:

arrested in Indiana for making a

death threat to, to president Trump.

391

:

So, you know that they would make click

bait out of death threats of some sort.

392

:

So were there any death threats?

393

:

Yeah, , I don't know.

394

:

I mean, it just seems

that's, that's a good point.

395

:

The notion that these judges

immediate, let me tell you something

396

:

too about these district judges.

397

:

I need a minute.

398

:

Y'all will never be in a predicament

to experience having probated

399

:

someone with 14 years, okay?

400

:

It's not possible because you handle

traffic tickets and theft from Walmart.

401

:

You are not important.

402

:

You work part-time.

403

:

You know what I mean?

404

:

You do not have that level of

stress on you that you are going

405

:

to potentially let someone out at

sentencing with years on the shelf.

406

:

That's not the nature of our system.

407

:

Is that wrong to say?

408

:

You might let somebody out on bond and

something bad will happen, and I see that.

409

:

But bond and probation are very different.

410

:

Yes.

411

:

Bond presumption of innocence.

412

:

Yes.

413

:

Sentencing guilty.

414

:

District judges are not

victims of anything ever.

415

:

They make $140,000 a year and

they adjudicate traffic tickets,

416

:

misdemeanors name changes.

417

:

Probate cases may be a

little bit more contentious.

418

:

Anything else of importance?

419

:

Guardianships?

420

:

Yeah.

421

:

Guardian jury does that.

422

:

Well, that's true.

423

:

Jury does that.

424

:

No.

425

:

So I just, the 16 district court judges,

well they're not always jury guardianships

426

:

have to be in Kentucky by statue.

427

:

You could have like pre stuff, but

like if you actually to get one Right.

428

:

Am I wrong?

429

:

I, you know, I, I I don't know of that.

430

:

I've, I know I've had.

431

:

A couple guardianship hearings

that were bench really hearings.

432

:

Yeah.

433

:

But I mean, they may have been.

434

:

A change.

435

:

You know, there may be some technical

reason why, the, they would be different

436

:

under the statute, but I've never dealt

with, a jury trial on a guardianship.

437

:

Well, in complete transparency, now

that I say this the only guardianship

438

:

experience I ever have stopped in 2014

when I left the public defender's office

439

:

and would watch those, if I certainly,

if wrong, haven't had any since wrong,

440

:

mine might have all been prior to that.

441

:

If I'm wrong, I completely apologize

and guardianships are a big deal.

442

:

Yeah, no, I'll look into that.

443

:

'cause that's, that could be very true.

444

:

But you don't end up with, I mean.

445

:

The idea of threats and the

idea that someone is going to

446

:

threaten you for speaking out and

saying anything give me a break.

447

:

Yeah.

448

:

And just that, that's your first

thought after a woman, and like you

449

:

said, an autistic child and their

sibling we're abducted is, oh my gosh.

450

:

You know, we are the victims.

451

:

Yeah.

452

:

But none of that surprises

me, the judge, I mean.

453

:

You're gonna expect the judge

is gonna back their colleagues.

454

:

That's gonna happen.

455

:

You're gonna expect the court

administrator is going to

456

:

say something supportive.

457

:

That's what he's paid for.

458

:

That's not a surprise.

459

:

Well, yeah.

460

:

I mean, may, maybe not in writing, but

that's, that's what he's skilled at.

461

:

He's a, he is a smart guy.

462

:

He knows.

463

:

What he's doing and he's going

and, and what he said on his

464

:

face isn't, isn't untrue.

465

:

That there, you can't foresee

what's going to happen.

466

:

There will be bad things that happen.

467

:

Understood This one though, you

didn't have to have a crystal ball

468

:

to see that this was a bad idea.

469

:

This was, this just was bad

from the very, very beginning.

470

:

Well, and back to that, I'd bet my

house that guy was going to re-offend.

471

:

Oh yeah, I, I mean I, my home just

looking, I mean, I've, there's so many

472

:

times you're watching those hearings

and you can see, and everybody is

473

:

acting a certain way in court and you

just have no idea that one, you could

474

:

just, you could, I mean, I don't know.

475

:

Oh my gosh.

476

:

I forgot to tell you.

477

:

So we only release this on YouTube

and he mentioned, he mentioned

478

:

like at the beginning of the

hearing, like why is he smirking?

479

:

It was just.

480

:

It was, it was so bizarre.

481

:

Everything about it was bizarre.

482

:

But his demeanor, uhhuh,

that hearing nothing good was

483

:

gonna come of that happen.

484

:

I have gotten so many message

not happen messages and

485

:

comments and like Hugh's, right?

486

:

He is smirking.

487

:

Oh my gosh.

488

:

He's smirking the whole time.

489

:

What's on his face?

490

:

I completely forgot to tell you that.

491

:

And it's like, he looked to

me like medicated, like in a.

492

:

Mind altering way.

493

:

He, yeah, he looked like, he looked

like he was, he was having more fun

494

:

than everybody else in the room.

495

:

Which, and I mean, no disrespect

to mental health, like it's

496

:

just a sad situation all around.

497

:

And not to make like, but you have to,

if you're in that state for judge to

498

:

say, oh yeah, you seem like you're ready

to just go live back at home again.

499

:

Mm-hmm.

500

:

Everything's worked out.

501

:

Just look at this dude.

502

:

And so that was in.

503

:

July of 2024 re-offend,

allegedly in August of:

504

:

Mm-hmm.

505

:

From the brief review of the court

file, it looks like there was a

506

:

little hearing in October of 2024.

507

:

So we don't even know what

the level of supervision as

508

:

far as the court involvement.

509

:

It looks like he was probably just on

probation and parole, which to your point.

510

:

Judge green said the whole time,

I think this case is too much for

511

:

probation and parole to manage.

512

:

Oh, yeah.

513

:

No, that was, it was interesting.

514

:

I, that was really notable

to me when she said that.

515

:

Yeah.

516

:

Oh, this case is too

much for them to manage.

517

:

So then why were they the only

ones that had to manage it?

518

:

Yeah, exactly.

519

:

I wonder if any family court

judges went to defend her.

520

:

I doubt it.

521

:

I don't know.

522

:

I mean, we have a lot of 'em

that had experience in district

523

:

court or you know, with, with

prac, I mean that understand it.

524

:

I guess.

525

:

We don't have anyone on the bench

that was over there anymore.

526

:

But I guess when you read the

article too, McKay is quoted.

527

:

And that's the court administrator,

BFF, and fan of the show.

528

:

Oh.

529

:

And then, but they just said

the judges want anonymity.

530

:

So, you know, we all, we've

talked about on this show how

531

:

judges are sources for the media.

532

:

So it could have been somebody from WDRB.

533

:

Yeah.

534

:

You know?

535

:

Yeah.

536

:

I, I don't know.

537

:

Anyway.

538

:

Yeah, we need Savannah, we need McKay on.

539

:

I, I wish he would come on.

540

:

Me too.

541

:

And I swear it would be polite.

542

:

I mean, oh, we would have

an awesome conversation.

543

:

He's, I'd have a beer with him.

544

:

Oh my gosh.

545

:

He is, I'd have six.

546

:

He is, he is hilarious.

547

:

And one of the more interesting

intellectual people, I remember he used

548

:

to give the the training for warning

orders to the young attorneys that

549

:

would get warning order appointments

really early on in the bench.

550

:

And he would make these references.

551

:

I think especially to Hitchhiker's Guide

and like half the room wouldn't get it or

552

:

most of the room wouldn get it before then

a couple people would laugh and he would

553

:

then make another reference about the PA.

554

:

Oh dude, it's hilarious.

555

:

I really would like to sit down

and talk with him 'cause I.

556

:

I really want to understand, yeah.

557

:

The point of view that he has on

the recording of social media in the

558

:

courtroom, because it's obviously

shared with a lot of other courts.

559

:

You go on TikTok, you have

judges who have channels.

560

:

Mm-hmm.

561

:

Selectively pick cases that

they're going to record.

562

:

I think that it is not as stretched to say

they probably act differently when they

563

:

are recording for their TikTok channels

than they would on the other cases.

564

:

I could be wrong.

565

:

But , I want to hear,

I wanna hear that side.

566

:

So anyway, let's well maybe went off on

a tangent, but just an open invitation.

567

:

Please come talk with us.

568

:

Yeah, no, and maybe we should reach

out to him and just say, Christine

569

:

won't be there, like you and him.

570

:

Just have a conversation here.

571

:

I'm fine with that.

572

:

I feel like it was clear we ran into

him at the courthouse and it was clear.

573

:

I think his exact words were me,

like, I hear you've been talking shit

574

:

about me, or something like that.

575

:

Oh, he did.

576

:

But he also, when you said like, sit

down with us, he said never gonna happen.

577

:

So.

578

:

Oh, I know.

579

:

But, but he, but that was us.

580

:

So maybe he would sit down with you.

581

:

I don't know.

582

:

But to segue on to that any

last thoughts on Langford?

583

:

Just like, no.

584

:

There, there's more there and, and

we have our ideas and suspicions from

585

:

what we've investigated and spent many

hours digging into it, but mm-hmm.

586

:

It's troublesome.

587

:

Yeah.

588

:

There, there, if.

589

:

What we suspect is there.

590

:

It's very troublesome, but

we, you know more to come.

591

:

Yeah.

592

:

And there are great judges.

593

:

We'll do that caveat too.

594

:

It's not all, but it is

so frustrating to me.

595

:

The exact same thing with like law

enforcement that when you saw everything

596

:

happen in 2020, the fact that judges just

blindly support other judges publicly.

597

:

Yeah.

598

:

Like that is not helpful.

599

:

At all to maintaining the

integrity of the judiciary?

600

:

No, that's right.

601

:

And just like with police

officers, just complete solidarity.

602

:

I mean.

603

:

There are horrible problems in the system.

604

:

Mm-hmm.

605

:

It doesn't mean that

everybody is terrible.

606

:

Yeah.

607

:

When no one is saying that, but these,

you know, it has to be addressed.

608

:

It can't just be, well,

no one has a crystal ball.

609

:

Yeah.

610

:

Let's just, I mean, that could

have been any, , any judge.

611

:

No, I don't think so.

612

:

That, that just, this is just, there's

so many red flags in this case.

613

:

Yeah.

614

:

Well and that goes back to, 'cause

I'm, I take the bait all the time

615

:

and like I know it drives you crazy.

616

:

It's like I take the bait.

617

:

'cause I'll be like, oh, you

district judges you don't work.

618

:

And there are district judges

that work really, really hard.

619

:

And I'm working on a story behind

the scenes about some of the

620

:

district judges that are working.

621

:

You know, we've never been to court

and seen more than nine judges

622

:

of the 16 with open courtrooms.

623

:

Right.

624

:

I think and typically it's

like four, six or seven.

625

:

Yeah.

626

:

But the notion, I think

it's usually the same ones.

627

:

Yeah.

628

:

So a lot of the same ones.

629

:

Yeah.

630

:

And the notion like circuit judges

have a really, really, really hard.

631

:

Job in a much different caseload.

632

:

Family court judges have a hard

job in a much different caseload.

633

:

Yes.

634

:

Than the responsibility.

635

:

Like the responsibility is much

different in those two courts

636

:

than it is district court.

637

:

I would agree.

638

:

And I just think district court going

and if it was them being like, oh, we're

639

:

scared of death threats and talking to

the media, it's just insulting to if

640

:

it's done properly, the work and the

stress that's done at a circuit level.

641

:

Yeah.

642

:

But I mean, the other thing is

they clearly talked to them.

643

:

Mm-hmm.

644

:

They were given anonymity.

645

:

They were still just blanket

support and, you know, saying

646

:

basically all the same thing.

647

:

So you were given anonymity

if you're really scared.

648

:

About speaking out that speak out true.

649

:

No one's naming you true.

650

:

Don't just keep saying the same

thing that everybody's saying,

651

:

repeating the same lines.

652

:

And we will obviously abide

by journalistic standards

653

:

and never reveal sources.

654

:

And if any judge wants to talk to

us anywhere about anything, we will.

655

:

But I will do the caveat.

656

:

There are judges that work extremely hard

in Louisville and throughout this country.

657

:

There's good, there's bad,

there's ugly, but it's just the

658

:

system, like you said, like.

659

:

Protecting itself.

660

:

That's so infuriating.

661

:

Yeah.

662

:

And I will say we will fiercely

defend anonymity of sources and

663

:

not giving up sources to the point

of going and being locked up.

664

:

Yeah.

665

:

And it is just something

we believe in to our core.

666

:

Yep.

667

:

Same as attorney client privilege, really.

668

:

Yeah, absolutely.

669

:

So we, we welcome anybody to come talk to

us with any, any point of view whatsoever.

670

:

And , if you wanna do it off the record.

671

:

Do it.

672

:

We would much prefer to have

an open discussion so people

673

:

can hear everybody's opinion.

674

:

Well, do we really want 'em to call in

and crying about being the victim though?

675

:

I'm just kidding.

676

:

I'm kidding.

677

:

I'm kidding.

678

:

Give my number.

679

:

So there was a really,

everyone is tagging me in this.

680

:

We're gonna segue to family

court a little bit where.

681

:

Both of us spent the

majority of our career.

682

:

Yes.

683

:

I can still consider myself raised

as a criminal lawyer, but there

684

:

is a RICO case out of st Is it St.

685

:

Louis County or St.

686

:

Louis, or is that the same thing?

687

:

I, I don't remember.

688

:

It's outta Missouri.

689

:

Yeah.

690

:

I don't recall the county.

691

:

I, it's St.

692

:

Louis Family Court.

693

:

Is it?

694

:

Yeah.

695

:

Yeah.

696

:

Super fascinating.

697

:

It really is.

698

:

Now there are a lot of people

that you see litigants that are

699

:

aggrieved and they will go on a.

700

:

You know, they'll, they'll go

on a social media campaign or,

701

:

you know, something about court.

702

:

This, this person encountered what I

always refer to as the system where

703

:

you have certain judges and attorneys

and all, and they're just, they're

704

:

protecting this sort of machine

that's over there in family court.

705

:

And someone was just

sort of, , he spoke out.

706

:

He was critical.

707

:

About that system and was told by a,

allegedly, by a friend of the court or

708

:

a guardian ad litem, I think one that if

he rescinded or stopped being critical,

709

:

then he could have more custody time

and just made it very quid pro quo.

710

:

And then he saw the Supreme Court

allegedly introduced itself into the

711

:

case and intervened somehow, which is.

712

:

Wild.

713

:

Really wild.

714

:

So it just so happened that this guy was

a big firm attorney who handled class

715

:

action lawsuits and went to the federal

level and said, well, I'm not going to

716

:

get anybody that's not protecting the

system outside of the court outside of

717

:

the, you know, out inside of state court.

718

:

So I'm going to the feds Yeah.

719

:

And make this a racketeering case and.

720

:

, It's a fascinating case that he's laid

out because he is properly laid out, I

721

:

think the foundation for a RICO case.

722

:

And so RICO is organized

crime at the federal level.

723

:

Mm-hmm.

724

:

We actually do have a statute in

Kentucky, it's called Criminal syndicate.

725

:

It's, but it's basically

just organized crime.

726

:

And so he's alleging organized crime

by the family court system in Missouri.

727

:

I mean, that's, I I am

fascinated to see how that goes.

728

:

It is, it is a creative creative

argument that I think only a,

729

:

an attorney could come up with.

730

:

But , it's interesting because

he lays it out very well.

731

:

Yeah.

732

:

And there are a couple I've

seen percolating some like RICO

733

:

cases or allegations from pro se

litigants, and now I've never deep.

734

:

Done a deep dive into it.

735

:

This article too is from Legal Newsline.

736

:

And just to give like a li like the

allegations, like you were just saying.

737

:

First off, this is a father who is

like a well-seasoned litigator, right?

738

:

Like it seemed from the article.

739

:

Yeah.

740

:

I think he was a class action defense

attorney or a civil def defendant

741

:

against class action lawsuits.

742

:

And, family court attorneys that have

only exclusively practiced family law

743

:

somehow get the notion like sometimes

they can be too big for their britches.

744

:

Does that, is that wrong?

745

:

, I don't know.

746

:

I I do know.

747

:

I do know.

748

:

Okay.

749

:

I do know.

750

:

Okay.

751

:

Like family court attorneys

had, they've never tried a

752

:

jury trial, and I'm not saying.

753

:

Like, listen, I'm gonna tell

y'all like there's no way, like

754

:

as far as knowing the law, civil

law, you know it better than me.

755

:

Like no question.

756

:

Like it's not even you.

757

:

But I've never tried a jury trial.

758

:

You're an expert though.

759

:

Like in that capacity.

760

:

I know Everybody knows what they

know and smart people know enough

761

:

to know what they don't know, right?

762

:

Yeah.

763

:

I think that's the key.

764

:

Yeah.

765

:

And you don't fuck with a class

action lawyer at a big firm.

766

:

And he, he has.

767

:

He has the, and I can't remember

if it's friend of the court, it

768

:

was , a court appointed attorney.

769

:

Yeah.

770

:

That is basically in charge of the

custody determinations for his kid.

771

:

He has a recording of

him according to the.

772

:

Petition.

773

:

Yeah.

774

:

The complaint filed in this, he has a

recording of him saying, if you back

775

:

down on the criticism of, you know,

the system, this judge Yeah, whatever.

776

:

I'll give you more custody time.

777

:

You'll get more custody time.

778

:

Like just being told

that it's that simple.

779

:

Yeah.

780

:

You stop complaining and that

you might get what you want.

781

:

And if that's the case, first off the.

782

:

Guardian ad litem or whatever the

equivalent there in Missouri is,

783

:

they should be disbarred, obviously.

784

:

Let me read just like a little paragraph

from this newsline, is that what I said?

785

:

It was Legal Newsline article.

786

:

Matthew R.

787

:

Grant, a former litigation partner

at one of the hundred largest law

788

:

firms in the United States and

founder of Stop Missouri Corruption.

789

:

Contends the alleged enterprise

dubbed in his complaint as the Clayton

790

:

kids for Cash Scheme retaliated

against him for exposing corruption

791

:

cumulating in the loss of nearly all

of his custody of his teenage sons.

792

:

If true that is, that is sadly, I think it

should be shocking to people, but this is.

793

:

It just wasn't that surprising

to me that there were these

794

:

moving pieces that he alleged.

795

:

And I think if you, if this was in

a different arena and he had filed

796

:

this about something else, I'd be

like, oh God, this is so fanciful.

797

:

It's just, I've seen all of these

pieces and these types of things moved

798

:

around that, I mean, I've been told

by judges, if you don't stop this

799

:

other legal action that you filed

lawfully in another court, I'm gonna

800

:

take your client's child right now.

801

:

Like as we sit here, like I've

seen this actually happen.

802

:

That , this is fascinating to me just

because I, is this happening every

803

:

day, everywhere, all over the country?

804

:

I, I don't know, but it, I always

thought about, okay, this is how it

805

:

is in my world and here I have no idea

what family law is like in other places.

806

:

And reading through the allegations that

this person is making in his complaint.

807

:

Yeah, just, it just sounds way too

familiar to me, which is crazy.

808

:

And I think we're gonna see a lot

of these RICO cases, we need to

809

:

do a full, like true journalism.

810

:

We're just kind of shooting the shit,

talking about our reactions right now.

811

:

Yeah.

812

:

And we've read one article about it.

813

:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

814

:

And so the lawsuit named, and I'm just

reading from this, but it named the

815

:

judge, the former commissioner, the

guardian ad litem, the children's mother.

816

:

The children's mother's attorney, two

and two relatives of the children.

817

:

So this is like the whole organized

crime sphere that's alleged in this rico.

818

:

And they say he's got a recorded phone

call where the GAL offered to restore

819

:

custody if dad would publicly reran recant

his corruption complaints or claims.

820

:

Sorry.

821

:

Yeah, that's, that's shocking.

822

:

And part of, part of

the allegation is that.

823

:

They've sort of set up this system

that just generates attorney's fees

824

:

for the court appointed attorneys.

825

:

And I mean, I know that's been a big

criticism of yours for a long time.

826

:

Yeah.

827

:

That we're getting all

these people involved.

828

:

They are just billing, billing,

billing, and almost looking for,

829

:

looking for something to justify

them still being on the case.

830

:

And a lot of times that

results in just creating or.

831

:

Inflating conflict so that they

can continue to be involved.

832

:

I know that, I've seen that.

833

:

Well, and it's, it just shows the

reason to, I tend to believe these

834

:

allegations because I think only

someone that took court appointed

835

:

guardian ad litem work would be stupid

enough to say that on a telephone.

836

:

Thinking they weren't being recorded

speaking to a high powered lawyer at

837

:

a one of the nation's largest firms.

838

:

You know what I mean?

839

:

Like, no way in in hell would you,

you get, you get treated, and I mean,

840

:

in some of the court appointed people

actually have immunity from anything.

841

:

And you just, I, you know, the attitude

that I encountered so often from certain

842

:

people that were court appointed was that.

843

:

You can't do anything to me.

844

:

I can say what I want because

nothing's gonna happen to me.

845

:

Oh, speaking of, we forgot to mention

on the last episode one of the GALs that

846

:

we talk about all the time, we started

off our Monday at motion hour with what?

847

:

Him walking out of the back.

848

:

Oh yeah.

849

:

Oh yeah, sorry.

850

:

We walk into court, he comes straight

outta chambers back where the, you know,

851

:

the judge and the judge's staff are,

and it's like, yeah, of course you do.

852

:

So this is the guardian ad litem regularly

appointed in Louisville, Kentucky,

853

:

literally walking out from the back where

the judges are at the be of motion hour.

854

:

And you were just like, oh my gosh.

855

:

But there is, that's what I'm like,

the godlike power like complex.

856

:

Is that there, is there another

word for that that I'm missing?

857

:

I mean, at the very, very least.

858

:

The impression of, you know, for

anyone that's, that hasn't just seen

859

:

it so much, they've become numb to it.

860

:

If you're coming from the outside,

you're a pro se person in that

861

:

courtroom and he's walking out

from where the judge comes from.

862

:

And this was, you know, it's one

thing if you're back there getting

863

:

a date at motion hour, some of the

courts, and you go to the back.

864

:

This is the beginning as it starts.

865

:

Like we were having

breakfast, this, you know?

866

:

Yeah.

867

:

That's where he was hanging out.

868

:

I mean, it just.

869

:

Everything about it just smells so bad.

870

:

And this is what I

thought was interesting.

871

:

And I would love, if you are listening,

we need to find this attorney.

872

:

We, I'd love to have him on

the podcast that's filing this.

873

:

Oh, I agree.

874

:

But he says that he has obtained text

messages, court transcripts, recorded

875

:

conversations and internal communications

that he plans to present witnesses

876

:

from other cases with a similar Yeah.

877

:

Pattern.

878

:

Of conduct, which we've seen

a similar pattern of conduct.

879

:

Now I've never expressly seen if you do

this, I'll give you more parenting time.

880

:

Now your case is egregious.

881

:

The one you've mentioned that

Yeah, about that case makes me ill.

882

:

But I mean, this, the, the, what's

interesting about him being a seasoned

883

:

attorney, he knows that, you know,

okay, the public can get certain

884

:

information through information

requests and things like that.

885

:

But as soon as you have a lawsuit,

he gets it through discovery.

886

:

Mm-hmm.

887

:

He gets all of these things and

he knows exactly what to look for

888

:

because he's a seasoned litigator.

889

:

Oh.

890

:

And is just, I mean, he's thought about

it enough to think, okay, where if

891

:

I, if this type of activity existed,

where would the evidence of it be?

892

:

Yeah.

893

:

And where would it be in other

cases and where would it be?

894

:

In, in billing records and things like

that, and he's going after all of it.

895

:

So I'm, I'm, I can't wait

to see what he's got.

896

:

Well, speaking of last night, I had a

genius idea about what we could ever

897

:

do if we ever got sued by a judge

for like defamation or anything.

898

:

You know, what we could

do during discovery.

899

:

We could ask for their Planet Fitness.

900

:

Check in and check out.

901

:

Oh, man.

902

:

Yeah.

903

:

So yesterday after division five, I

literally Okay, y'all, we I was not right.

904

:

Like we talked on the last podcast.

905

:

My anxiety was like a 17.2,

906

:

and I've been like keto and

like eating super clean.

907

:

I was just like a nervous wreck

going to court for some reason.

908

:

Just like all of the traumas.

909

:

And so then we watched, it was like,

you know, in the last episode it

910

:

started out pretty good and then it

was just like this dramatic downfall.

911

:

Oh, the train wreck at the end?

912

:

Yeah.

913

:

Yeah.

914

:

And so I was like, I'm gonna, I went home

and I was like, I'm gonna go to the gym.

915

:

I was at the gym.

916

:

I did a little cryo machine.

917

:

I went to one I don't normally

go to, and it's four o'clock.

918

:

I mean, I'm seriously out in St.

919

:

Matthew's.

920

:

So that's what, that's 30

minutes from the courthouse?

921

:

20.

922

:

20, yeah, 20.

923

:

But I mean, getting, if you're

a judge, like getting on the

924

:

elevator, changing clothes, getting

out of the secured parking lot.

925

:

I mean, and I run into

Bryan Gatewood right there.

926

:

I mean Division eight judge.

927

:

Yeah, family court judge.

928

:

Yeah.

929

:

And I mean I was just, it was a work day.

930

:

Yeah.

931

:

Yeah.

932

:

Four o'clock on a Monday and he

had motion hour that day at:

933

:

He's the judge we talked about at his

:

934

:

Like so many of the

files weren't brought up.

935

:

But yeah, so you know, I think

going to the gym is great.

936

:

I think take care of your

mental health is great.

937

:

Yeah, absolutely.

938

:

And I.

939

:

Trust me, I don't get

paid by the government.

940

:

I'd love to I I have never, I've known a

lot of people that work for the government

941

:

that were not allowed to go Yeah.

942

:

Middle of the workday and work at the gym.

943

:

I've never had an employer that

would've put up with that in

944

:

any job that I've ever had.

945

:

If in the, in the middle of a workday

I'm working out at, at the gym.

946

:

Yeah.

947

:

Especially if I'm not getting orders out.

948

:

And I, I am personally aware of cases

that I worked on that were in front

949

:

of him that have been sitting for.

950

:

I wouldn't be surprised if some

of them are still sitting after a

951

:

year that haven't been ruled on.

952

:

Mm-hmm.

953

:

I don't think you're, you're writing

those orders while you're at the gym.

954

:

No.

955

:

And I don't think this violates

our judgey confidentiality.

956

:

If it does, we'll take it out.

957

:

But ironically enough, if you

saw some of the submissions that

958

:

we've got over the last week, how

many were Bryan Gatewood cases?

959

:

Eight and four are the

ones we we see the most.

960

:

Yeah, I was gonna say eight, four 10.

961

:

About getting orders out.

962

:

I mean I'm Oh yeah.

963

:

About getting orders out.

964

:

Absolutely.

965

:

Yeah.

966

:

I get a lot of those obviously are a

little lovely seven and shockingly enough,

967

:

I'm getting a lot more about two lately.

968

:

Could be very brief on this, but so.

969

:

There are gonna be

complaints on every judge.

970

:

Yeah.

971

:

Obviously ly absolutely.

972

:

And judges aren't gonna

get it right all the time.

973

:

Absolutely.

974

:

Well, they make somebody

upset with every ruling.

975

:

Just about, yeah.

976

:

And even like, even if they're

batting 85%, like I'm not necessarily

977

:

viscerally angry about that.

978

:

I don't mean that in a condescending

way, but we have judges like

979

:

Bryan Gatewood that are just.

980

:

Literally not keeping their docket moving,

yelling at people, things of that nature.

981

:

You know what I mean?

982

:

Yeah.

983

:

That's very different

than a one-off situation.

984

:

Yeah.

985

:

But we get complaints about almost every

judge, but there are judges that get

986

:

the majority of the, the percentage.

987

:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

988

:

I mean, go, go look at the go look.

989

:

Louisville, Jefferson County Family

Court and look at the responses and they

990

:

primarily focus on one judge mm-hmm.

991

:

Of the reviews.

992

:

So, but anyway, I mean, it's

interesting to think about a RICO

993

:

perspective in Louisville, and

obviously I don't want anybody.

994

:

To get in trouble, like, but that's

just like so valley girl of me.

995

:

But it's also like there are consequences

for actions and I just think the system,

996

:

you always talk about it in a way that's

like much more articulate than me.

997

:

It's this huge machine that's only

protecting itself, but the outcome of

998

:

that is hurting families and hurting kids.

999

:

Oh yeah.

:

00:41:39,369 --> 00:41:39,879

I mean, that's how I always felt.

:

00:41:39,879 --> 00:41:43,779

I just, it just, it just killed me

every time someone, especially someone

:

00:41:43,779 --> 00:41:45,249

court appointed where I would say this.

:

00:41:45,654 --> 00:41:47,004

Doesn't happen, the statute says this.

:

00:41:47,454 --> 00:41:47,754

Oh.

:

00:41:47,814 --> 00:41:50,064

But that's, that's just how we do it here.

:

00:41:50,094 --> 00:41:51,564

That's just the way that it works.

:

00:41:51,564 --> 00:41:54,714

It's like, but that's not the

way that it, that's not lawful.

:

00:41:55,010 --> 00:41:56,415

All right, thank you guys.

00:41:56,415 --> 00:41:57,495
