In this episode, defendants test out fresh legal tactics, jurisdictional arguments, and massive demands in court—and none of it goes as planned!
First, Gary Woodson Jr. tries a slightly modified sovereign citizen script in a New Jersey domestic violence contempt hearing, asking the judge "Is this America or the United States of America?" after being told he won't be released immediately. Later, during a release conditions hearing, he slips in classic sovereign terminology ("I comprehend") while trying to figure out how to get his trucking license back.
Then, in a Colorado proceeding, defendant Dmitri Crane takes the mic to read a handwritten protest, accusing the court of "eviscerating" his civil rights following a 61-day hospital transfer delay—and demands $1.669 million PER DAY in restitution!
Watch how both judges navigate these unusual arguments while keeping the hearings moving forward.
