MJ: It’s not any of the stuff that they say it is.
They tell us that the GPS works, and it doesn’t. It just doesn’t. I’ve had phone conversations with people at the call center—and even with sheriffs—and they said that if I have the proof I should just bring up the proof that my monitor doesn’t work, because they’ve said personally that my monitor doesn’t work.
The day that I got released from house arrest, the prosecutor again tried to argue violations from 2021 that got cleared up the day they happened. She mentioned dates that I specifically have videos of—of people at the call center saying, “That cleared up,” or “We’ll let the sheriff know that you didn’t leave and that you were indeed inside.”
She said that I only had nine alerts, and we know that I have hundreds. We know that I had at least 20 in the last week and a half. So when we got into court, she was like, “Yeah, you had nine alerts.” And I was like, “Nah, it’s way more than that, so something about that information is off, because my monitor went off more than nine times.”
I got called more than nine times—there’s a week period where they were giving me, like, two or three in a day. I had at least, like, 15 in the last week. She was like, “Yeah, he has nine,” and I’m like, “Nah, I’ve got way more than nine, I’ve got damn near 20 for the last week, and I’ve got video of all of those—I’m in the house.”
This is the second prosecutor that tried to use false violations to keep me on house arrest, so that’s just something they do. That’s just something they do to people. The sheriff will look you in the eye and tell you, “We know the monitor isn’t working,” and a prosecutor will go into court and tell a judge, “This guy snuck out” anyway. Because they can, and because it’s easy.
