his time as an officer used to run unnecessary background checks on female citizens with outstanding warrants or criminal records and used to prey on them as his victims he was also found guilty of assaulting numerous women usually belonging to low-income class the victim's lawyers and attorneys were satisfied with the verdict and desired such a sentence for him that would keep him in jail for life if you think this was the only idiot cop who reacted to their life sentence wait until you watch this next case I'm I'm still troubled by the fact that you did not address Mr har I I can address I it's all right no it's not all right I don't need it you do need it you you say you can't move on I'm telling you you need to move on this is former officer Michael amot from the uid police department on March 31st 2023 Mr amot came to the court to hear the verdict on a 2017 case where he was charged with assault and interfering with civil rights during a traffic stop after the traffic stop amot was suspended for 45 days after which uclid mayor Kirsten holtzheimer gaale fired him from the police force however an independent arbitrator reinstated him in 2018 in August 2019 amot was arrested and charged in uclid Municipal Court following further investigation into the incident he was convicted of assault and interfering with civil rights in July 2022 and was later sentenced to one year of non-reporting community control on March 31st 2023 after almost 8 months of being found guilty Mr amot is back in court for his sentencing watch how he reacts when the verdict is announced your comments with respect to the things the court is required to take a look at in imp closing a sentence uh based upon uh the evidence presented and PR sentence investigation the court at this time will impose a sentence of U 90 days uh require you to pay a fine of $1,000 and will require you to pay the court cost in addition the court will suspend the sentence of 90 days uh place you on non reporting community control for a period of one year uh if you violate during that one year then the court will retain the ability to impose the sentence anything on behalf of the state no you're on behalf of Miss D just what um count ele what count while U Mr Herbert's rights were violated and the officer as an officer he used his authority to do that however given the length of time involved here the court will use the assault as opposed to the violation of civil rights not saying they weren't violated but given the length of time and the court will use the assault charge anything else than you that's all good luck to you sir thank you um I I'm I'm still troubled by the fact that you did not address Mr har I I can address I all right no it's not all right I don't need it you do need

non-reporting community control with a $1,000 fine this decision came after the judge initially announced a 90-day sentence which was then suspended the judge also specified that the punishment

interview handcuffed the entire time initially he denied any involvement in this missing case however the cops knew that he was the last person Miss everard met Mr cousins was given life imprisonment by the court if you think this was the last cop who reacted to their life sentence then you probably haven't heard of this next case I've been told that I had PTSD are you depression but not that I am no I don't think that I have anything wrong with me at are you currently receiving any treatment for any sort of mental or disorder or condition depression anxiety right are you currently taking any medication for uh depression and anxiety yes I am this is former Sheriff Tod Pate from the Breen Ridge County Sheriff's Office on March 12th 2020 Mr Pate was in court to attend a plea hearing Mr Pate was reportedly involved in a car crash in March of 2019 and had injured another driver with whom his vehicle collided Mr Pate was allegedly found drunk after the accident and was arrested and now facing the court he was charged with five felonies and a second DUI charge Mr Pate was there in the hearing to change his plea from not guilty to guilty doing this would have enabled him to serve a lesser tenure in prison minimizing it to several days from a year to do this he had to speak these words to the judge watch what he is about to do my client as the day approaches uh it's just apprehensive and we had to talk through some things um are we ready to get on the record this time I think so we still need to sign that those other Pap okay all right and so let's get on the record first all right Mr P if you want to stand up there with your client um I'm sorry with your attorney we're on the record of 19 cr44 Commonwealth of Kentucky versus Jerome T Pate uh we're here this afternoon initially it was set as a pre-trial conference that was continued from a January pre-trial conference the purpose of which was to further address um pending motion including motion uh to transfer venue and also then to get this matter set for trial the court has subsequently been advised that uh the attorneys have uh negotiated uh a resolution of this case on guilty plea it is further my understanding that the terms of that plea have been uh fully discussed uh with uh is that your phone Mr Pay yes it is you need to put it away okay I was just had need to put it away okay yeah he has been fully discussed uh with uh the victims in this case and that uh the terms have been um had previously been agreed to by Mr P at this time Mr vals does it remain your uh your clients to intent to enter a guilty plea here today I think you better ask him that question Mr P if you'll raise your right hand to be sworn please do you swear or affirm that testimony you're about to give will be the truth so so help you God yes I do state your name please Jerome Todd p and Mr PT what is the last four digits of your Social Security number 1 one20 and what is your date of birth it's October 15th 1969 have you ever been told that you suffer from any mental illness or condition that affects your ability to think or to reason I've been told that I had PTSD are you depression but not that I am no I don't think that I have anything wrong with me at are you currently receiving any treatment for any sort of mental or disorder or condition depression anxiety right are you currently taking any medication for uh depression and anxiety yes I am all right and have you taken that that medication as prescribed yes are you under the influence of any other drugs or alcohol today no ma'am have you taken any over-the-counter medication that contains Codine any histamin or any other substance that would affect your ability to think clearly no ma'am at this time is it your desire to change your plea uh from not guilty to guilty do I have to answer that yes or no or can I make somewhat of a statement that's that is that is a yes or no answer sir well I have the opportunity to say anything further if you it is your intention to change your plea from not guilty to guilty then I will take your plea and certainly you'll have an opportunity to make any statement that you want to make but if it is not your intent to enter a guilty plea at this time then I'm going to set your case for jury trial and you're going to stop wasting my time and everybody else's time this afternoon I'm not trying to waste your time and then is it your intention to enter a guilty plea at this time or not sir no why am I wasting your time Mr Chambers what is the commonw position at this time sir we would move to revoke the defendant's bond at this time we had took we took part in a lengthy media a we agreed to continue this case 2 months to enter this for today um I think we've inconvenienced the entire court system by canceling a pre-trial date uh and continuing this matter for two months for him to resign from office so we' Mo to ROK a fund at this time Mr V would you like some additional opportunity to meet with your client this afternoon before we proceed at this time you know it it's it's difficult for me to enter a guilty plea um for a lot of reasons and I don't want this court to think that I am trying to minimize take away from or deflect any responsibility that I had in this situation that occurred uh I do absolutely feel like that because of my bad decisions that this whole case took a turn that it wouldn't have taken had it not been the brenridge county sheriff it's difficult for me to plead guilty to FY charges where a prosecutor indicts me and immediately after getting an indictment recuses himself and basically testifies at the Grand Jury to facts that were not at all and again if I hadn't did done what I did and drank and drove on March the 8th I would not be sitting here nor with anybody else but I absolutely think I was indicted that prosecutor said got my indictment I will jump out then I made an offer based on those indictments on a Monday we send an email back to Mr Chambers office to not accept and two days later I'm indicted for assault first one that if you're found guilty you spend 85% of this was never an assault first case should have never been an assault first case but it became that and it became that to push me in a direction to take a plea I'm willing to take a plea but I now understand how some people feel I've defended the court system many many times and still do but I feel like I feel like I'm being very much bullied into doing something that's not right now the gamble is Big Mr Chambers wants to go to trial and saying now let me tell you this that and the other then I'm I'm risking leaving my family which I did that March 8th when I drank and drove think God I didn't kill anybody but I want this court to know I want the people to know and I want the public to know that Todd P holds himself responsible for everything that he did but it's it's hard for me to lay down and plead to felony charges that don't apply the judge conducts a recess after she realizes that Mr Pate might want to consult his lawyer however watch what he still does so I think we are back Mr pton and and probably should have have stayed in the place where we started again I wanted to give you an opportunity to have further discussions with your attorney uh but I think I'm sorry ma'am for doing that I'm sorry for what I I need to I think we're back to where we were before is that is it your intention today to enter this guilty plea and I think we're at a yes or no place at that let me say let me can I say one more thing I think everybody in this room wants us over with and if I could address Blake Blake I hope you learn from this case I'm not mad at you I'm not in any way upset with you Mr P not that it reach that point now this is either a yes or no are you going to enter your plea or not I guess everybody thinks it's funny well certainly not the people who I think are are here with you today no they don't I've broken everybody's heart but it's hard for me when I see Mr Chambers sitting over there smiling let me just plea and get it over with for everybody plead to something that I absolutely do not feel good about but I don't want you to try to send me to the penitentiary for years and years if you can sleep with it I can sleep with it okay this is probably unusual at this point in time I think we're done and so let me tell you where I think we are today is that we have executed plea documents whether or not Mr Pate uh has the right to withdraw that his plea now that he's executed those plea documents remain to be seen um and at this juncture this court could not based on these preliminary statements that Mr Pate has made make a finding that this plea is knowingly voluntarily and intelligently made where I think we are today is is that on the one hand the Commonwealth can if chooses to do so to uh enforce the terms of this agreement based on the execution Mr Pate I'm talking at this point in time okay I'm sorry I'm sorry sorry at this point in time I'm going to sustain the Commonwealth's motion to revoke his bond he's going to be taken into custody today we will come back for further hearing as to whether or not to go forward with this plea or to set this case for dry and I will look at additional I will look at additional conditions with respect to his bond at that time he's going to be held without bond on uh based on at least at this juncture there having been an executed plea where he was to serve 75 days with credit served Mr Pate declared himself guilty and accepted the sentence he had to face he was arrested by the court and taken to jail it is saddening to find out cops are being sentenced for the crimes they commit under the shadow of the law if you enjoyed this video be sure to drop a like And subscribe for more goodbye
