my sweetheart was from lebanon beirut bay lebanon she was misdiagnosed here in the united states of having acute asthma when she went home to visit her family she started coughing up blood they realized that she was she had lung cancer have you ever said to any law enforcement personnel that he is a danger i don't believe so i do think he's a danger he's he's a dangerous person that's why i've been like laying low and i've tried to like stay away from all of it i don't i don't know which videos these are there are a lot of videos in there okay let's not go here then so videos have been provided to you mr moore or if you would get near a microphone please have have you provided the unedited version of these videos to mr ledan uh yes your honor i sent an email to him a couple weeks ago just asking him to make sure that he would tell me if he thought anything was missing i not heard back okay the question was now listen to the question have you provided the unedited versions to mr ledan yes my under my understanding is that these were all disclosed prior to i had okay the answer is yes let me see if i can make this any clearer for the third time did you provide the unedited versions to mr ledan a previous asa did i believe okay that's not terribly comforting when you say comma i believe but getting past that for a moment did you provide the edited versions to mr ladan um these right here no as far as taking excerpts no okay so those were not provided so that's a richardson violation um do you want to be heard on whether that was willful or inadvertent okay it's 10 30 and we will begin uh the well we'll continue with the hearing the bond hearing [Music] for mr dewitt and uh does the state wish to recall the witness who was previously on the stand just probably briefly are um i do want to use this elmo since there's something going on for some audio okay just maybe have it set up before i get going okay you know if i had back all of the time i've spent waiting for the state to get its act together and prove this case that you know i'd have a lot of time left i okay go proceed what would you like to have happen um say well it's not my witness but it was miss uh jennifer burton was the the witness will return to the stand this is sorry this is cross i know she's still under oath [Music] thank you euron hi good morning miss purdy um leaving off i think where we were last time we talked a little bit about some different issues there was um jail calls that you made with mr dewitt correct yes okay um we talked a little bit about the incident on april um seventh i believe it was where the police were involved and he got arrested which is why he's in custody today correct yes okay um it was your testimony today that he um did not slam a door in your foot it's my testimony that that was an error on my part i believed something and it wasn't what actually happened okay is that what you told police on scene is that he's found the door on your foot i believe so yes okay um so your testimony today is just different from what it was then no it's not different um i also told them that it wasn't that big of a deal and i may have been mistaken and i just needed someone to look at my foot and that was it and i didn't want to press charges so okay um previously you would um you testified you're not in fear mr dewitt is that still the case could you could you slow down just a little bit restate that question previously you had testified that you were not um afraid of mr what is that correct yes okay um but you did acknowledge also during this incident that there have been previous issues of violence with him is that correct during the said are you saying on april 7th is that you're asking me yes or any other time prior to that you've you've had other issues of violence with mr what is that correct i i believe there was another case yes involving violence right okay have you ever gone to well so you're let me let me start over you're not yourself personally afraid of mr dewitt no i'm not um do you have any concerns about other people other people's safety from mr dewitt no have you ever expressed concerns to other people um that he may be a danger well i never said he was a danger have you ever said to any law enforcement personnel that he is a danger i don't believe so i do think he's a danger he's he's a dangerous person that's why i've been like laying low and i've tried to like stay away from all of it okay have you ever gone to the news and expressed to them that you believe he is a danger i'm not sure um if you saw a video of a news report might that refresh your recollection um i believe i know what you're talking about and that was before he and i got back together yeah that was over a year ago i think it was maybe a year and a half what was it after the sex offender case where you reported him for not using a registered email address yes it was after that okay um and did you express to the news that it was about time that he had gotten arrested sorry about i didn't that it was about time that he had gotten arrested i don't know if i said arrested i'm not sure i know that i said something about time but i'm not sure maybe was it that it was about time that police were taking action [Music] i'm not sure i may have said that did you ever make complaints that you were complaining but police were not taking action i'm not sure um would hearing your statements refresh your memory no [Music] if so if you saw yourself saying those things you wouldn't remember them can you repeat that question or if you saw yourself saying those things you would not remember them no that's not what i'm saying well i just asked if it would refresh your memory and you said no can you rephrase the question i'm not i'm a little confused i'm sorry well i asked did you say it was about time that police took action on mr dewitt and you said i'm not sure i said i believe so i believe i said that i'm okay and then i asked if you saw a video of yourself saying that would it refresh your memory and you said i know what i'm saying is i don't need to see a video i was there so but now you're saying you don't remember what you said this is outside the scope of directed ever is it just that you don't want to say it or see it i can't i don't understand what you're saying can you rephrase the question it was just if you saw a video of yourself saying these things would it remind you of what you said of course it would remind me okay um i want to do that um [Music] i can't hear that i'm sorry okay thank you we're waiting on this would it be possible for me to invoke the rules so she reached out to deputies about an encounter she had with that same man am i supposed to turn line's ashley edward is live outside the courthouse and i actually you met with that woman to hear her side of the story yeah i'm sorry am i it's not on my screen am i supposed to turn my head and look at this yes okay greg she told me that it was her gut instinct that drove her to the sheriff's office to talk about those concerns back in 2018 and with this recent arrest she said she's glad she did this woman who only wants to be called jennifer so she met jeremy to went online and went on our first date back in 2018 at the time he told her his name was jay he also told her he was a cop he told me that he worked for ovio police department and that he was he was a security officer and that he worked with orlando police department and orange county sheriff's office it was then jennifer says she felt like daisy i just dug a little deeper into who he was and i found out what his real name was and the first thing that i saw was the fdle sex offender search results how long did you kind of investigate it take 40 months with the diabetes it was the same day i found out i think five o'clock in the morning and i contacted them at eight this arrest activated shows that whit was charged in 2018 for failing to register as a sex offender jennifer says at the time the information she gave them about him posing as a cop fell on deaf earth until dewitt was arrested by windermere police in september of 2019 or impersonating a police officer while directing a funeral procession for his company metro state services it's about time his own body camera video was taken by police i don't need to show anymore i just want to make sure do you remember now saying that it was online about time what though and i didn't see anything out there no that's not what i said okay the witness is excused um stay with paul just just a moment do you wish to call any other witnesses yes okay could someone assist mr dewitt to the stand do you solemnly swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give in this case is the truth all truth and nothing like the truth they enquire your honor yes good morning sir come on please state your name jeremy charles dewitt and make sure you speak up mr dewitt we're here for your bond motion can you tell the court whether you currently own the home that you live in yes currently the home that i have in osceola county we just recently purchased uh nine months ago or 10 months ago i'm sorry do you have any idea whether you have any equity in the home if you needed to borrow against it for the purposes of hosting a bond um i don't think we've made enough payments for equity yet okay um do you have any uh vehicles that you could either sell or put liens against for the purposes of securing a financial bond i i could put liens against them for securing financial bonds i wouldn't want to sell them being the fact our business continues to operate although it's touted right now it still does operate okay um what about stocks bonds uh money in bank accounts where are you there in terms of financial ability sadly no stocks no bonds not that good but i do have the bank account for my business yes you had relayed some concerns about the potential of foreclosure because payments aren't being made are you in arrears on on payments i know what happened was when i was arrested for some reason my debit card and uh was used illegally the the same day or the next day that i was in custody um and the bank saw it and flagged it and froze my account so unfortunately my contractors haven't been paid and my mortgage hasn't been paid for the last three months almost four months because one of the payments that was already initiated had been returned because the account was locked at that point in time okay if the court was to grant your release do you have a valid us passport uh no i do not have the passport anymore we turned that in quite some time ago when the department of homeland security changed the policies for people uh unfortunately sex offenders so i had to mail that back okay um how long have you lived in central florida between orange and osceola county my whole life you understand that we've got multiple court dates and court appearances you're gonna have any problem coming to court no sir i i've never missed a court date even though i've continued to be arrested i i've never missed anything and i wholeheartedly believe that you will be able to handle our cases so i have nowhere to go um you're how old is your child uh she's about to turn one on july 25th i i'm i'm hoping very much to be home for that okay um and you're still married yes sir and you still reside with your wife at the residence in kissimmee yes sir other than that family what other family ties do you have to central florida all my family lives in central florida the only family that doesn't live here is my wife's family but all of my family is here in central florida in tampa the state has raised some commentary or concern about a passport fraud or something that was done when was that 20 something years ago yeah it was in 2000 um i was young and dumb and in love my sweetheart was from lebanon beirut lebanon she was misdiagnosed here in the united states of having acute asthma when she went home to visit her family she started coughing up blood they realized that she was she had lung cancer so um i was dumb and i was unfortunately a convicted felon that i believed at that point that i could never get a passport so my friend let me use his information so i could fly to beirut lebanon and spend my last few days with her before she passed away um it wasn't until i came home on my own i i was home almost eight nine months and he got in trouble for something else and unfortunately he never shredded the passport that i gave back to him um and it just spiraled from there and it was my fault i should have never did that i didn't know at that time that convicted felons can't have a passport i was unaware of that at the time and i was young and dumb and anyways have you traveled out of the country without the permission of the u.s government or local government uh since that time no sir uh oh god you understand that you know obviously there's a lot of charges yes sir and if convicted you could spend the rest of your natural life in prison you understand that right yes sir is it your intention to come to court yes sir um in terms of financial bonds the bondsmen have agreed to go back out on the original bonds if the judge was to impose a new bond or new bonds how much do you think you could reasonably afford if you would have to post new financial bonds i i honestly i don't right now our business my business is in tatters i being the fact my tow truck company was shut down with false statements and most of my clients have run for the hills because of all the continuous arrests my accounts and my payroll to my contractors is more important and my accounts are very very very low to the point where i if if it was more more expensive i i don't know if i would be able to actually handle it to be honest all right i'll turn to the witness sean cross good morning sir um just want to talk to you about you were talking about your assets and the vehicles do you own all of the vehicles that were part of metro state business yes sir i own every other one of them okay how many vehicles were there or are there with metro state uh i believe the last tally on them was 27 is what the fdle website says if i remember correctly a mixture of the like automobiles and motorcycles that is correct yes sir um i think at one point you were acquiring ambulances as well do you still own those those ambulances were part of the 27 i know that three of them are no longer with metro state but one of them still is yes did you acquire all of these vehicles on your own yes you didn't have anybody else help you um with acquiring these vehicles never once um thank god come to a lie and i was able to make sure that i buy vehicles at reasonable prices when you bought the vehicles were they already outfitted with the lights and the sirens the no so you had to expend some money i guess to do that as well no sir actually with all i actually install everything myself the only thing i don't do is paint the vehicles all the stickers are printed and i installed it myself and including all the wiring and all the setups for the vehicles okay and you purchased all of the equipment for that um well i mean second hand but yes do you still have those vehicles i'm sorry if you said that before but i i missed it yes sir unfortunately right before the day i was arrested or the day that i was arrested all the vehicles are vandalized and the tires were cut but yes i do okay [Music] um i think the only other thing i wanted to talk about mr ladana talked about your your passport issue which which was an issue that was backing around was it 2001. um well they charged me i think it was an 0-1 but she passed away late 2000 but yes okay um it ended up in a conviction correct correct um subsequent to that you did is when you were convicted of the lewd and lascivious battery is that correct in 2005 four years later yes okay and you did a an incarceration followed by probation uh initially it was just probation unfortunately i for some reason have a tendency to not do probation very well but on that particular probation weren't you violated for falsifying another federal document and that was the reason why they recommended termination no sorry they arrested me after i was sentenced to the probation uh no no when i caught the um the lewd battery in o5 that violated the federal probation that i was on um not a new not a new document charge yeah i didn't i didn't mean to suggest that it was a new offense but only to suggest that the violation itself related to falsifying a document so that you could travel right which originated from the 2000 charge i didn't falsify another document well 2005 cf-394 was your case number here in orange county that was for the lewd lascivious correct okay and there was a affidavit of the violation of probation and that was one where you had just violated the community control then that was where you had uh i think it was within three days or so of being on that that you oh wait let me back up i'm sorry i've got a few here i apologize 2018's 2018 cf um 4906 that was your last favorite to report case you were on a probation on that correct and that was a 2018 case that played in 2019 i believe i wasn't on probation at that time i think you're on community control no sir no the the failure to register my wife and i were looking for a surrogate mother which i didn't put the username i registered the email address and i registered everything else that was required to be registered but for some reason in 2017 unbeknownst to me and it's my fault i understand that the law changed to where you had to put the user name as well where i didn't know that before i think you might be getting your cases mixed up okay so in that case in 2018 cf 4906 i've gotten out the day of the violation of probation and it's from officer david klingenberg do you remember him at all officer klingenberg was the one that violated me because they when they put me on probation for the user name correct they enhanced it automatically because it was only supposed to be regular felony probation it was automatically enhanced without my knowledge or my attorney's knowledge to community control sex offender gps monitoring i went to the location that they told me i had to check into i checked into it and then they advised me that i had to go to another location over by the fl the orlando international airport the next morning while driving toward the orlando international airport i stopped at starbucks to get coffee and that was subsequently what violated my probation within the three days of me being put on that probation because i on the way to that location i stopped at starbucks and i understand that i wasn't supposed to do that okay according to his affidavit you were instructed on the community the conditions of community control on february twentieth by officer jennifer beal and it does involve wearing a gps monitoring so i'm not sure how you wouldn't know you weren't on ankle monitoring if it was on your ankle right when i went to the office over here off of uh old winter garden and john young she didn't know what was going on she advised me that i needed to wear the ankle monitor that i had been enhanced and she doesn't she wasn't not very she was not exactly um what's the word i'm looking for um she didn't know exactly how or why but i was to meet officer clingingword the next day so on the way home i went home the next morning on the way to the location i drove through the starbucks drive through and picked up coffee on the way to the location and that's what violated my probation and this happened three times it was uh on the 20th on the 21st and the 23rd it was three times that you left your residence without communicating so your testimony today is that the probation officer who was to advise you of community control didn't tell you had to wear a monitor and didn't tell you that you were in home confinement no we weren't advi i wasn't advised that until i went to the location at john young and old winter garden they then advised me that the regular felony probation that i had been sentenced to was automatically enhanced um and even she didn't understand how that was she said that officer klingenberg would have to explain that to me but she did put the monitor on me and told me to go home let's go back to the sex 2005 cf-394 and this was the probation that you were on um for the underlying lewd lascivious there is an affidavit here that um and i'm going back to my question again about the document this didn't have to do with your trip to lebanon this has to do with a trip to cecil field and you told you gave a document to a probation officer that you were to take your wife for an immigration check and when they checked there was no such thing as a cecil field immigration check and when they asked the homeland uh security personnel to review the document you gave her it was a non-existent document or dates and locations had been altered do you not remember that that is correct okay that's why i don't know that's fine i was objecting to non-responsive i was acting asking him to stop for a moment i just wanted to know if you remember that one yes okay uh i i don't have any other questions with with all due respect sir you had asked me if i had hold on just a second that's not appropriate your attorney can i'm sorry i apologize mr dewitt have you ever cut off a gps monitor no sir have you ever failed to appear for a probationary uh meeting knowing that there may be a warrant for your arrest no sir have you come to court knowing that there could be a warrant for your arrest yes sir will you continue to come to court should the judge grant you bond in these cases yes sir okay and in fact uh the last three warrants i self-surrendered the last three times except for this one here and this one here is because you were in custody on the bond revocation when they served you with the that is correct i have no further questions sir thank you okay do you have any would yeah let's get him back to his seat please does the state have anything further yes your honor the state will call corporal john ramsey to the stand [Applause] um um mr dewitt could sit at council table if you'd like with his attorney is [Music] good morning sir could you please state your name and uh spell it for the record uh yes sir it's uh corporal john ramsey r-a-m-s-e-y first name's j-o-h-n could you please um [Music] i'm currently with the orange county sheriff's office i've been there for i think approximately 21 years and i had uh worked for the stanford police department before that did you have any other military experience i do i am a prime marine forum fire army and i'm retired from the army and what's your affiliation with mr in the cases i think you're aware he has about 10 cases here in orange county what's your familiarity with with him and the investigation uh i've been working different cases uh with mr dewitt since probably 2014. and the current cases that he has present myself and uh another supervisor for the motor section uh put those cases together at the direction of the uh of our captain at the time what brought your attention we were actually i was working an off-duty job uh at the uh the arena downtown when i witnessed uh his unit or his motorcycles go by with lights and and horns going off uh doing some type of an escort i actually stopped one of the vehicles and that particular vehicle had two different tags attached to it one over the top of the other as a result my dealings with that individual i wound up writing him tickets and after that i was contacted by my lieutenant at the time uh to inquire as to what the deal was with uh with these individuals and then we uh i guess you could say started like a small task force and we started working cases uh for this his behavior his his actions okay um did you ever speak with mr dewitt during this time in the early stages of the investigation about what was going on i did as a matter of fact in 2015 i made contact with him i was out working on the second one in motors we uh heard a uh vehicle going by with uh the air one going off so much that we actually thought somebody had stolen a police vehicle so when we went looking uh to the guys that work for me got there before i did they had stopped mr dewitt uh prior to me making it there and then i arrived and had a long conversation with mr dewitt uh he was issued a couple of tickets i know he said he's issued like 25 or 30 but issued a couple of tickets from the deputy that worked for me during that time i explained to him what he should and should not be doing and how he was violating the law and he actually recorded this because he filed a complaint with the sheriff's office and turned those videos over to the sheriff's office and at this point you weren't investigating them for impersonating officers it was really was it really just about the funeral we were actually were investigating him for uh impersonating a police officer we met with uh several staff members here from the courts whether it be the head judges for the traffic division the state attorney and we were coming up with we were actually putting together a game plan on how to address it properly did you in your conversation with mr dwight did you explain to him that it was the position of orange county sheriff's office that he cannot violate traffic ordinances correct i told him that he could not be doing directing traffic getting off his motorcycle standing in intersections uh telling people what they could and could not do in intersections whether they could turn or not could not take all the lanes of the roadway like that basically i explained the funeral escort is like a train uh it moves as one it stays as one you can't move out of that he contests that uh because there is a word in the statute that says facilitate that means that he can do all these extra things that he does with the funeral uh during that conversation it was quite a long conversation and he was told multiple times at one point he told me well uh i met with the earth scene my lawyer and i met with your senior staff or whoever he said he met with and they said we can do this are you saying that they were wrong i told him then and it's on his video that uh if they're telling you you can violate the law and the law is clear then yes they are law enforcement incorrect has ever said that he can violate traffic laws in facilitating these escrows no okay did the conduct of the escorts ever change after your discussion with them they did i mean did he correct it no they progressively got worse it got worse it's like he became emboldened and they got worse okay so what are your concerns that you can tell before about the way these escorts are conducted as as they would pose a danger to the college so we have multiple uh incidents where he's had traffic accidents where he has uh stopped people pulled people over beat on their cars screamed at them uh walked up to the vehicle with his hand on a weapon that he and wears on his side like a a duty belt that you would see with the law enforcement officer uh and it's such a threatening manner that we've actually charged some of the charges he is facing is exactly for that as well as uh well i'm sorry could you repeat the question again just let me make sure that was it just the general concerns about the public safety and the way that he conducts these estimates correct yes so and and we are still receiving complaints uh from the public that uh he's still doing these type of internet or even though he has been locked up for the last month or so uh his employees are still out there doing the same thing they're out there doing these same uh type of escorts where they're calling the public's calling and complaining yes [Music] um do you recognize what it is uh yes it's a um a memory stick with uh today's date on it and it's uh written videos and can you explain to the report yes sir and where did you acquire the videos or we've received we've received those videos either from mr dewitt's uh body cam his helmet cam that he had when he was arrested by windermere and or through a search warrant when we uh served a search warrant on his office and and took possession of his computer [Music] yesterday they come from his i'm sorry they formed the basis for some of the charges that we have here and maybe some of the ones that we don't yes sir okay um and the videos have been watched are they um in the same format that you've used them yes sir okay any alterations made to them in terms of editing like adding things or subtracting things no sir um some files might are some files full clips no no they were shortening um so sorry but the court reporters cannot hear mr moore some of the files are not complete correct they were shortened uh for the uh purpose of not wasting the court's time on the entire length of something of him just sitting still somewhere okay um otherwise these are fair and accurate representations of the videos you observed after your uh warrant seizure and and the investigations that led to the subsequent arrests of mr dewitt yes sir okay um at this time your honor the state would move to enter um we would object to the entry of these videos it sounds like they have been edited and modified this is not the records custodian of the videos and i don't believe that there has been any prop for the video to be prior to today for you to be able to review them to determine whether there's a way for me to stipulate to it or whether there's issues with it that need to raise in addition to what i want to do okay so that's a jumbled mix of legal arguments i think it's a foundational objection and possibly a hearsay objection [Music] although i don't believe this is hearsay and we don't have to have a records custodian if it's not hearsay so foundationally it's a fair and accurate depiction of what happened in an edited manner if they're going to play an edited version i think under the rule of completeness you could ask that the entire version be played but i i do believe he's laid the proper foundation for entry of something that's essentially photographic in nature yes it is a foundational argument i don't know what's missing and so from a perspective standpoint your honor is only going to receive what they've chosen to provide right and i think that under the law of the rule of completeness you're entitled to request that the state play the whole thing because if you don't know how it's been edited then you can't be more specific than that and um that's what the law requires so i would sustain that objection and i can play the full clip if that's what he wants that's it's not a matter of what he wants it's a matter of what the law requires he's made an objection under the rule of completeness i don't think that his foundational objection is is has merit it's not it's also not a hearsay objection that has no merit but he has even though it was never said particularly artfully he does have the right to object to the state editing portions of a thing here a video and playing only those edited portions and as i said your honor i i have some that are full clips that are not edited they're okay then therefore sustain the objections so do what you're gonna do okay and there are some cl i'll just have to put on the record i won't this is merely um for the honors of you at a bond hearing this is not trial but he these edits are just simply excerpts from 45 minute long videos i have no problem playing them all this is an adversarial proceeding and it really isn't comforting for the state to say don't worry this is just an idea for you to get a vision of what happened it doesn't matter what this is the rules of evidence apply that's a legitimate objection so do what you will i think in the meantime i'm going to take about a five minute recess for you to get set up and then we will run well welcome back to water all right you may be seated one more thing for purposes of the record mr ledan did you say you had not seen these edited uh excerpts previously that's right okay so that is a richardson violation objection i expect that you had not been provided with these in discovery prior to trial and you know we can go down that path as well i mean skipping ahead a little bit it seems to the court that if you have not been provided those and it's not disputed that you have not been provided those um knowing that they were going to be used at this hearing um if i won't make a ruling on whether that's a willful violation or not but it my sense is that it's probably prejudicial to the defense because it it removes from the defense the opportunity to argue that these are misleading because you haven't seen them so if we need to make that analysis i can do that as well i don't know what's what's missing your honor and my concern for today's purposes is i don't know how to how to remedy that absence raising the objection and asking that the video has not been edited okay but you have seen the full videos or have you not i don't i don't know which videos these are there are a lot of videos and there's cases okay let's not go here then so videos have been provided to you mr moore or if you would get near a microphone please um have have you provided the unedited version of these videos to mr ledan uh yes your honor i sent an email to him a couple weeks ago just asking him to make sure that he would tell me if he thought anything was missing i had not heard back okay the question was now listen to the question have you provided the unedited versions to mr ledan yes my under my understanding is that these were all disclosed prior to i had okay the answer is yes let me see if i can make this any clearer for the third time did you provide the unedited versions to mr ledan a previous asa did i believe okay that's not terribly comforting when you say comma i believe but getting past that for a moment did you provide the edited versions to mr ledan um these right here no as far as taking excerpts no okay so those were not provided so that's a richardson violation um do you want to be heard on whether that was willful or inadvertent i believe it was an advert your honor i'm not trying to go through that process right now okay so are you withdrawing your richardson objection no you're all right well if you're stipulating that it was inadvertent then it's not a it then i don't believe mr moore is playing behind the ball with me i simply did not have an opportunity to prepare to see these videos and determine what was edited so that i could make the appropriate argument well that puts the court in a difficult position because if you're not you're unwilling to say that it was willful but you're asking the court to find a richardson violation is that right right okay so you're not stipulating that it was inadvertent but you're not taking a position either way is that correct i think that's a fair statement okay so why didn't you provide these edited versions to mr levan because there's nothing altered other than just the excerpt from a full clip so these also neuron these videos have been posted on the internet for years now at this point they're publicly available the testimony is that edited versions are i mean edited meaning just a clip yeah yeah um so if a video is 45 minutes long and i'm just taking from a minute five to ten i guess you can call that edited but it's just taking one clip from a full file there's there's nothing being added to it or subtracted from it but see you have to tell the other side that you're doing that because all your promises that you're not doing anything that is sneaky or misleading is just not good enough you have to provide to the other side i'm going to read pages x through y of the deposition transcript to the court so that the other side can be prepared to determine whether z should also be read to put that in context now just substitute out video with deposition and you have exactly the same thing you have to tell him in advance i'm gonna prep play minutes five through ten so he can look at minute four and minute eleven and determine whether what you're playing is misleading he gets to do that that's the rule of completeness i'm not making this stuff up as we go along just trying to apply the law here so i'm going to find that this was not inadvertent and the question of prejudice i will hear from the state on that but for the reasons previously stated which are that the defense cannot be prepared to make an objection a full and reasoned objection on the rule of completeness until the defense knows what is being played so if you want to be heard about why that's not prejudicial go ahead um mr levine my understanding is he has all of these full clips i don't think it's prejudicial in the sense i think he's watched all of these before if he believes there's something predator so he can let me know but i've already agreed if your honor doesn't want to play any excerpts that's fine but i do have at least three videos that are just the full clips that i believe would have been disclosed and i'm fine doing that i'm also fine if he i have the full clips and if he believes something's prejudicial it's here for the court if if it finds it okay that is not a well-taken [Music] explanation of why it's not prejudicial it's been explained to the court that there are many many videos and to expect that mr ledan on the fly could say oh on this particular video you should have played this as well is simply not reasonable so the court would find a richardson violation and these ex for that reason also these exerted excerpted portions will not be played to the court if you want to play the into some entire something in its entire then you can attempt to do that once again you're saying i believe these have been provided is of some concern but you know if mr ledan in good faith thinks he hasn't been shown something or given something specific then i expect he'll make that objection so go ahead and play what you need to play could you have the witness identify what this is i know it's videos but if you could say when it was taken and where that is probably appropriate wow courtrooms are you familiar with this video from the beginning uh yes i am do you remember the um the incident that this is from and where the video came from yes i do this uh would you let me explain yes please all right so this particular video uh back during october of 2019 mr dewitt provided this to us uh and he said it was his body cam from uh this particular incident with the deputy mahoney an off-duty deputy that he had interaction with and and currently has charges for um is this a clip from mr dewitt's body cam yes it is and he brought this to your office correct okay this is the full clip that was brought to you without seeing it but yes this from what we saw earlier yes okay there's three just to reiterate these are video clips from mr dewitt correct [Music] is just for context this one is a clip i think a lot of people refer to this one as a the blue car incident are you familiar with it i am okay this is the full clip as you're understanding is we're taking some jeremy dewitt's body camera yes sir okay um and for purposes of uh and this so from beginning this is the clip that came from the camera yes sir okay and for purposes of publishing your honor i'm going to skip to the portions that i had as excerpted and i will listen until again if you want to play previous portions since he has seen this hey don't white bitch in a blue car get the bike [Music] get over in an abundance of caution i don't know what the court's planning on doing timing-wise mr moore wants to proffer to the court what the purpose of these videos is well that's not the road okay well i don't know if that's an objection i'm i'm ready to come back at 1 30. okay i've got it here for an initial appearance at the orange county jail at one o'clock oh okay i don't think these playing these clips will take that much longer okay so just stand down oh um corporal ramsey is that just a basic example of some scenes you might see in the entire 45-minute clip or 35-minute clip of these recessions uh yes sir as well as i am directing people over pulling people over uh and then actually having interaction with them as well okay and then um is it fair to say is this the point where he is blocking a fruit lane and an intersection while the procession goes by correct which he has even under the funeral statute he does not have the right to do that is your understanding of these other are these other metric state vehicles that are passing him yes they are and unless you're watching the full video you would think it's a police car coming up based on the sirens and the airlines you better figure it out oh you better you i like you i'm my funeral you is certainly more we could play [Music] don't do it is oh oh [Music] what are you doing what the fuck does it look like i'm doing dumb fuck get the fuck over before you find out i know what i'm allowed to do what i'm not allowed to do what you need to do is figure the fuck out before you start talking shit and cutting off songs go ahead and pull your little phone out do google search and figure out what we're doing and what do you do good that's where the legal goal is go back and look it up three six feet good leave 911 right now go ahead call the 9911 right now hello so please let me know that's all i'm playing from that when you're on it there's only one more this is uh the other full clip that was again received from mr dewitt's um records administrative statement accountability behind these clips before the state [Music] what do you want to go still moving though hey make sure you all can't use that sorry you have movers on the left movers on the left where the fuck would you go [Music] pull over [Applause] [Music] now what the fuck is your problem there are other examples that i will uh and as i said the the clips before they come from this camera they've had they've had these files we don't need that it's already been played we don't need that and i'm sorry let me just the files that i played um file 0048 that says seminal county that's the last one we just watched that would be admitted these full clips are admitted well have you given them to madam clerk well they're on this this is the the desk so no yeah i give her for identification okay you're moving this into evidence but just these files and the others um that are the you know excerpted ones are not emitted all right okay are the ones the ones that you played and the ones you want in evidence on the disc in madame clerk's hand well i haven't i just need to read the file names that that we play for for the record but well i can't admit anything that you i can't admit the entire disc because it has things on it for which the courts have sustained an objection so if i may just make a a separate thumb drive or disc with those three if i just have you know a little time to do that okay well i expect we're going to be back at 1 30 so sure for now well that's just for ids so yeah that's fine could you still stay on the record what the numbers are yes well i'll when i introduce the the one that we introduced for evidence i'll just name those files could i just ask a question before we go further [Music] the defendant mr dewitt had allude and lascivious molestation or battery in his past [Applause] okay maybe it doesn't make a difference but there's no vop pending right no no you're honest okay i do have this document that's okay i just i just wondered i wondered if there was an eop somewhere no okay um now um corporal ramsey those clips the year what are the the time frames the years that those occurred those particular clips i believe are between 2018 and 2019. so this is three or four years after you've had to talk with them about that kind of funeral correct uh did those videos demonstrate how the escorts had escalated in terms of their aggressiveness absolutely okay and you specified earlier you still received complaints from people about these escorts correct as recently as this year correct as recently as in the last two weeks and let me clarify in the last two weeks i received a call from our individual works in in our traffic office stating that people were calling in complaining about them and what should she do i told her at this point just document them and so at this point these experts continue to fight what you would relate the ministry with is that does that go into what your concerns were as far as the dangerousness of him continuing to do this that's just part of it but yes some of it's uh some of his comments that he has made as well um can you speak generally about or specifically about so the conduct of the escorts is something you would consider to be dangerous to the public what other dangers do you believe that he poses to the public and why uh well one we have a bulletin reference to uh mr dewitt um making statements that he was going to uh come into it's upon you in your honor it's admissible oh sorry you want to be heard on that yes your honor this is the officer testifying about bulletin right but mr moore is reminding the court that hearsay is admissible and volunteering if it was direct say your honor i understand but this is this is hearsay upon hearsay okay the court vacates its prior ruling and will overrule the objection go ahead um you may continue all right so i believe it is october 16th of 2019 i interviewed uh jennifer louise martin jennifer burton martin let me just help you was she here today testifying i believe i saw her outside yes okay uh i continue alright so during that interview that uh she requested with us we were not seeking her out she had told me in that interview that jeremy dewitt was threatening to commit suicide by cop by coming into the sheriff's office and shooting it up until he was shot and after that i met with my captain who we then met with our intel people who based on the information that we were receiving then a uh second bulletin was put out there was the first one put out by the city of orlando to i think through the fbi but the second one with the orange county sheriff's office was put out uh as a result of my contact with jennifer we've also had other individuals who are witnesses in this case contact us to state that mr dewitt has shown interest in purchasing an unregistered vehicle so he could run uh sergeant viddler or myself over on a traffic stop and not be caught may i approach the chairman uh we're gonna have to i'm i have a meeting at noon that i have to get ready for briefly uh so we're going to adjourn until 1 30 and we'll just wait for you mr ledan until you get here okay very good coverage if you can that's fine or we'll wait for you okay uh port is all right [Music] you
