any any criminal act you posted it to YouTube internet sent to news outlets uh alleging that I believe the words were that I'm a crook uh that I'm unfair unbiased and things of that sort what you done at that time is you you've committed slander by the words against me in this court I've done my best during my whole career to keep my character and reput ation intact period I am not going to allow you nor anyone else to ever take that away Mr B these are some serious issues the day and time in which we live now um government According to some people government is eroding people think they have no respect for government today you're going to get the court that you deserve I do find you in direct contemp of court you've already served a sentence of 10 days Court hereby sentence you to 60 days into County Jail on May 24th 2024 Jason Bole went into the okone county courthouse in South Carolina to pay some type of fine or fee he recorded his own interaction with the court clerk he didn't record anyone else or anything else in the lobby of the Court 5 days later on May 29th deputies went to his home trying to serve him with papers telling him to come to court for a contempt of court hearing for recording his own business that he conducted with the court 5 days prior he was not at his home when they tried to serve him but his fiance informed him that the police had come so he went down to the court to try to accept service of the papers in person there while he stood in the lobby waiting for service judge Danny Singleton came out to inform Jason that the Supreme Court Court of South Carolina had made an administrative order Banning recording both in the courtroom as well as in the lobby at the clerk's window Mr you recording again yes sir okay you were advised of that correct in what regard that you can't record at that window what law is that the order of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court I'm not arguing with you all right all right you're going to be removed here in just a moment you've been told you can't do that what law did I break that order can you read English I don't think that's a law CU that's the Supreme that's not a legislative branch the Supreme cour order of the court I'm not arguing with you all right J just have a seat I'll be back with you in just a few minutes all right yes thank you Jason now surrounded by deputies continued recording while he waited for the papers he was to be served after Jason leaves the office judge Danny Singleton asks him to come back judge Danny Singleton gives Jason the opportunity to either delete what was recording right then and there or beh held in contempt of court in other words arrested and thrown in jail judge Danny Singleton ordered o oone County deputies to arrest Jason and had him held in jail in contempt for 10 days for recording his own business with the court in the lobby that day Jason was released from jail on June 7th 2024 while he was incarcerated during that time there was a hearing held on June 5th to try him for contempt of court for the initial time that he recorded when he recorded himself paying the fine this video shows that hearing I like open and fair conversation I I do believe in the First Amendment and I the first time I came into the court I was not aware of the supreme court order and obviously the second time I was but I was incredibly frustrated at that point and I felt like that uh these motions for hold Dorothy in contempt for emotions to put my pregnant wife in jail and to take our son from us and he is absolutely precious to me and so I've had time to reflect and actually that time in jail was really precious to me uh I realized there's a lot of good humans in there when I was first there I was not easily calmed and a lot of people worked with me and I really had you know I realized error in my ways there's a there's a proper way to go about things and that is not what I was doing I was not going about it in a proper way and I apologize for that your honor I apologize for insulting you it was also inappropriate um I think that um if obviously give it the chance or moving forward in any capacity what no matter what the decision is today moving forward in any capacity I will change the ways and I will take down those YouTube videos as soon as I can get to my phone uh and I will not post any of the videos from my phone on YouTube from uh the the incident where I haven't had a chance to get to my phone since um and so I really I really want my family to be well that's my number one priority I don't think I have anything else to add of that your all right see all right I'm having a somewhat of an Internet issue here in just a moment I'm going to go to the emails read the two emails that you had sent to the court and I'm also going to play the YouTube video to preserve that and make it part of the record but until I get the internet going for whatever reason um it's not playing at this time and I all right Mr B do you [Music] understand this court or no other court is hopefully going to do anything to violate your first amendment rights or anyone else's First Amendment rights but do you believe that conduct has to be a certain way in certain locations do you believe that so courtroom setting at this moment do you believe that you could stand up scream yell do anything that you wanted to in this courtroom at this point in time no do you believe that they would be consequences should you do that yes sir absolutely kind of a Quakes to the window at the clerk's office the chief Justice's administrative order for your benefit I posted it the second time if you go back and look at your video you may be able to see it on there not it was posted in the hallway all right but I posted it a second time after you came in with that encounter but I'm going to read in part common areas do uh does not include any counter or window or immediately adjacent space used by the Clerk of Court's office for conducting Court business with the public and the use of electronic devices in such areas is prohibited the second time that you came in and they you were held in content and even in your email you challenge the order of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court he is not the only one that runs that Court there are other men and women that I'm sure is much smarter than anybody in this room or they wouldn't where they're at okay um it appears personally and professionally that you've attempted to defame me uh and the court um you have attempted um to allege that I'm a criminal without proving any any criminal act you posted it to YouTube internet sent to news outlets uh alleging that I believe the words were that I'm a crook uh that I'm unfair unbiased and things of that sort what you done at that time is you you've committed slander by the words against me in this court um you committed uh you were liable being that you put it in print and the fact that you sent that uh through also through email to also the other respondents it demeans the operation this court it demeans any power this court has um in Chambers and speaking with both councils I spoke to them about character and reputation character is your actual character is what you do when nobody's looking and I believe your reputation is what people think of you and what they say about you I've done my best during my whole career to keep my character and reputation intact period I am not going to allow you nor anyone else to ever take that away I have my own family and when I go home at night I want to lay my head down and have proper conscience about the things that I do do I like being here addressing this with you today absolutely not did I like it the uh when I come in and seen it and then you had audacity to not only post it online but here you go send it to me an email all right right that's like taking a needle and trying to stick it at somebody's eye all right um did I like it no um did I jump off the handle and go crazy no uh I think I'm better than that um you've indicated to some extent you know I'm not going to State you indicated that I only had a high school education I don't know where you got that from I'm a lay Court judge with now over 25 years of experience a total of 34 years experience between law enforcement and judicial Services I do have a college education and I have well over a thousand or so hours of judicial uh credit hours I study I read I do I I told counselors that I may not be the well most best spoken person um but I just don't decide what I want to do that's what I'm going to do for the day I put thought effort into it I've worked hard to provide for my family and for somebody like you to want to come and tear me down in the public above being a a probate judge I'm an elected official that is demeaning to anyone I'm not taking it person personal I'm assuming that that your fiance whatever you call her you called her your wife or whatever she is to you uh it appears to me that you just fall on a sword from her at the drop of a dime that you you would take that sword for her whatever whether she's right or wrong her issue will be taken care of on another day but I'm telling you sir your conduct with this court is done you've also alleged that I illegally kicked you out of this courtroom and that I later to denied it I never denied it I will put it on the record now what I told told you on that particular day you had this judge regardless whether you knew who she was or not speaking with somebody else out in our lobby you intentionally interrupted her and told the person that she was speaking with about the proper filings of paperwork in Probate Court for them not to pay attention to her that Probate Court did not know what they were doing out there and that she should come outside and talk to your wife that your wife knew everything about probate if your wife knew everything about probate I guarantee you you would not be sitting here today your wife would not have to be here next week if she knew everything about probate I don't think there's anybody absolutely knows everything about probate I know I don't but if my best practice if I don't know it I don't do it until I get the best answer but you sir for you to do that I had every right to prevent you from coming to this court this is a public place but I had every right to keep you out to protect other people do you understand that yes you're right you don't have to look up and think of if you don't you say you don't well no I understand what you're saying your honor I think some but do you understand that offering legal advice is illegal in this state you understand that I don't know about that no but I'm I'm telling you telling me that I do in my 34 years experience I'm Mr Chambers would giving somebody legal advice would that be unlawful practice that's absolutely that's okay all right don't take my word for it but I'm I'm telling you your conduct is enough it is enough and after today it's going to end one way or another today it stops yes your honor I hope you understand that I do your honor there was no fine amount in the world that would have prevented your conduct I wasn't going to bring this for up but I am now because it's even more concerning to me there's no doubt that you are a well-educated and a very intelligent person I don't know if you've ever been studied for your common sense abilities that I have no idea I'm going to leave that there I'm not going to try to demean you and any way um you have an absolute right to a First Amendment and as I spoke to council previously in Chambers to some extent I've lost my rights to first amendment when I became a judge and I took a oath I don't get to go out here and say what I think about other people publicly I don't get to publicly talk about politics because my job requires it and if I want this job then I'm required to do certain things yet you have a right like anyone else your first amendment there's no way that I ever got the ability to prevent you uh from exercising your First Amendment right however I can control your conduct when you come into my court probate court in any Court in this state the Probate Judge is elected by the people so this is the People's Court it's only judicial position in this state that's elected by the people of their County the only position that I refer to it as my court being that I'm the judge of probate I run this court you don't the attorneys don't I do good or bad I run the court I've got somebody that's unruly that comes into this court you can guarantee I'm going to take care of it as you know I just did so now you're here for the first portion of it thing that concerns me Jason bu is a man of consider considerable intellect Integrity his academic achievements include PhD and chemistry and substantial postdoctoral work at the Navy weapons labatory whatever anger issues you got but then you done work with navy we in a Navy weapons laboratory that scares me to death you came in twice the second well one I think you probably knew that you shouldn't have done that to begin with but the second time you definitely knew that you shouldn't have done that who's to say that the third time you don't come in with a weapon if you can't control your anger that much who's to say you don't do that a third time I spoke to council about it and I asked them don't bring it up but me saying that you actually have assisted helped or done whatever with navy weapons I don't know what all that entails but that but that that is that is scary and then you come in want to intimidate and harass a court all right I'm a public official I've got thick skin that I can promise you I've dealt with issues for years being talked bad about being talked good about but to go back overall and talk about character and reputation regardless at the end of the day what you may think about me or maybe a few others my reputation of character is intact and it will be intact until the day I leave this office that's a fact that's for me to decide not you that there scares me there's no doubt that you are very intelligent either you're very intelligent and you have no common sense or either you're very intelligent and you got an anger issue one or the other maybe both I have no idea but your conduct with this court stops today be clear on that yes your honor briefly your honor yes sir uh if I may um in regards to his work with weapon systems he develops weapon systems he doesn't handle any sort of of Naval Weapon systems he he purely he develops them he develops who's to say he takes a few chemicals at home and develops one layer and and that's my point your honor just if I may believe that his his passion overrides his his common sense and it's not more I may very I may very well agree with that I believe that's the case your honor and as an officer the court I can attest to that you know I certainly believe that that's that's the issue that it's not really an anger issue it's just his passion certainly you know can overwhelm him at times and it uh is deletar to his Common Sense thank you and I have indicated previously just to make this part of the record it was taken up in Chambers um Mr Chambers you you came in the first day that you appeared in court uh the court provided you with every document you requested is that correct that's correct joh I indicated concerns I have about his boldness in approaching the court and what he what would occur if he come back again a third time all right but I also indicated to you that I was well aware they had a small child and I gave you an assurance that I would not do anything to hurt a child or do anything to place that child DSS custody or whatever it was I said I understand the child has a mother and a father all right families need to be together that's a problem with our society today is families don't stay together okay so I firmly believe that and I am telling you got you okay um your child has no harm thank you your child regardless what I do with you today or what happens with Miss Pierce what may or may not happen your child will have no harm come to it that I can sure assure you um like I said I've got my own family um and I wouldn't dare do that to to someone else um give me just one moment we're going to go in I'm going to make this part of the record to the bottom yeah the employee internet I don't know why I need to do that Mr make sure to make clear to you that you know again making false allegations publicly posting that the judge of probate court okona county is crooked and committing crimes that is unacceptable and to accuse me of being uneducated that might even be more offensive to me I've worked hard for this job you understand that yes sir all right and I'm no way telling you uh to delete whatever you have you have it the only thing I can do is prevent you from recording I will delete it I'm not telling you to do that if you choose to do that I believe that would be beneficial for you and if you you do if you're a man of your word then you're going to do what you say you're going to do I always do all right well I'm prom you I'm a man of my word too and like I told you this conduct stops today any I can provide confirmation of course to the court you know that he has deleted it once he gets opportunity to you said that he that he has delet no no your honor I said I will I'll provide confirmation to the court on his behalf that he has deleted it once he he he gets a chance to do so is this right here where yes huh yes that's where you say I know we're in a crunch for [Music] time where is that the one no that's not the one no it's not the one just click enter I get dead right I can't get to that May 28 I look my dates this my email I'm having to look it up online in here and it is taking a minute turn can you find it this right here might be it it I don't know you're going to be able to pull it is that it no I think right this is email looks like it appeared on the 28th uh you've end up and had one read indicated there was a good read about um another judge in a lower part of the state and whereas I was quoted in the article being president of South Carolina summer Court Judge Association but anyway you indicated that was uh you were excited about this opportunity it looks like we we can help many people by publicizing This Disaster of this probate case as it arose out of the actions of an ignorant judge in a case that included his childhood friend the judge due to bias and ignorance of the law was dependent on the guidance of a lawyer with interest in the outcome this has been stated to Miss Pierce repeatedly the Pierce respondents where do you get that I was their childhood friend where do you get that I even know them do you have a response for that uh no sir then I'm telling you if I wasn't a judge I would swear myself as a witness and testify but I can't do that but I can tell you I do not know these individuals never broke bread with them never played with them never rode a school bus with them never went to school with them your lie is not everybody else's truth Pierce has been repeatedly told that that I do not know these people so I don't know how you can continue to say these things about a sitting judge and more than likely you know the truth because nothing presented to the court one that that that this court or myself has committed a crime there's been nothing presented to this court with any affidavit testimony of any witnesses that I know any of the the Pierce um respondents Mr do Pierce I never knew that gentleman make sure it's understood today do you now understand that I do not know these people I have no interest with them do you understand that yes your honor but yet you want to continue to repeat that lie you understand that's not true yes I want to make sure you understand you go back out and say whatever you want to later on your first man right allows you to tell a lie if you want to go out and lie to the whole world you can lie okay but you can't do it to defame somebody else whether they being a public official you just can't do that all right again I've already talked about you being liable and the slanderous comments that you make all right uh conduct towards the court uh attempting to intimidate a court official these things are illegal if it continues then I won't have any options but but to pursue those Avenues I would much rather take care of the way this being handled today and be done with it attempt to make this oh it's right there this is one you me folks can see this now I have no sound to it s click on the video this hm that right there just not up there at the top to the right where you were on to the here here where you are speakers click play I it this is ridiculous when you Mr Chambers do you consent that Mr boy posted this posted this video of along with one prior to that this right here was the edit of the first I'll save some time uh yes do you consent that he posted those to YouTube I I do your honor okay all right mail of Friday February 24th 2024 7:48 p.m. thank you for including me in this conversation what a nuisance subject I believe the Supreme Court ruling is absolutely Incorrect and accordance with the first amendment I recognize the challenges of addressing this discrepancy yet I think it is worthy of clarifying the terms of the First Amendment here is a copy of the video I very intentionally did not record a third party in the lobby my contest is that you uh would have to justify a violation of privacy again that's no violation of privacy it's public area there the order of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court I will look forward to your reply thank you for this opportunity to contribute to the well-being of this great nation if I can be helpful in any way I'm excited to be of service I can be present at any time PS I added a member of oon County Sheriff's Department to this email I do recognize that may draw interest I have I have had conflict with okon County Sheriff's Department this gentleman has been added because I believe he may be a good and upstanding law enforcement officer I would hope with trans transparency issues will be clarified is attached to a thread in which Miss Pierce is included so I'm not going to go into that second another email May the 28th dear judge Singleton is email your preferred method of communication I assumed it was from watching you and Dorothy communicate I am easy to find you do not need to send the sheriff to ignore all the no trespassing signs and enter our property illegally uh without warrant if you want them to enter the private property through a no trespassing sign they need a warrant let's meet in your office give me a date and time that works for you I will be excited to be served in person by you all right for you to be excited to be served by me in person was is that am I to take that as a challenge or how am I to take that that you would be excited to see me to to receive notice I'm just saying that if you want to serve me I'll happily come down but you I will be excited to be served in person by you it should have been sufficient for law enforcement to do it I'm not a process server I'm not a law enforcement officer that's part of their job but will clarify regardless absent of this that is not your property that property is in an estate it is not yours you may be residing there at the moment but that is not your property do you understand that yes sir you reside there that's not your property you you're not the owner right Mr Chambers I think I'm I'm done I will preserve that um videos for any type of appealable issues or or anything further do you have anything else you'd like to add before I make a decision in this matter uh briefly honor yes I would just like to uh uh reiterate that uh as as your honor has seen today Mr Bo is indeed recognize the a of his voice um and uh that we would ask that you uh if you find him in contempt that a monetary F would would be appropriate um and to um to give him another chance to tabular rasa to prove that that he will be a man of his word he'll delete the videos and that he'll uh in fact have no further Communications with the court he's learned from his ways uh just give him a second chance joh thank you Mr Chambers um like a better word you've been Sol one of a blessing to be involved with this case or become involved with it I believe things went much smoother today um with u Mr B having counsel and for that it um Mr B these are some serious issues the day and time in which we live now um government According to some people government is eroding people think they have no respect for government no respect effect for rule of law um I'm required to take an oath and I'm required to be bound by that oath and I try to take that oath as serious as I can I come to work I try to provide a safe place for the employees that work here I try to provide them with a good work experience in general when the public comes here I generally try to provide them with a good experience the majority of folks that come in here deal with grief we understand that people their loved ones have died and now they've got to go through the treacherous paperwork of pro trying to administer those Estates however you got some that don't want to play by the rules all right and so then we have to deal with those individuals I believe that I was in law enforcement Robert Kennedy once said that each Community gets law enforcement some extent that I believe that each Community should get the court that they deserve and the fact that you come in you're doing things the proper way um we're here to assist and do whatever we can but if you're coming in here and uh this appropriation which that's nothing's alleged that in that particular state but misappropriations misconduct and things like that then you need to get to court that you deserve today you're going to get the court that you deserve I do find you in direct contemp of Court you've already served a sentence of 10 days Court hereby sentenced you to 60 days in the county jail and I would suggest that you abide by everything that you indicated and gave word as a gentleman that that's what you would do but your conduct is over with this probate court you understand that yes right right
