Judge seemed very no nonsense and a stickler for procedure. Seems like a courtroom where things will progress in a timely fashion.

 

[Longtimelerker]

ugh ya'll.. watched the very quick hearing. They couldn't change the bond to NO BOND because the State never filed new charges in writing yet, and it is considered hearsay. So they have to quickly put a motion in for new charges.

 

[JoeFromLB]

Held over for tomorrow morning as the judge is demanding all motions be in writing.
The lawyers don't seem very sharp.

Did that woman that stepped up request to represent him???

She's from the public defender's office - she's assigned to his case. She may not represent him at trial, but will for now.

Hearing just ended.

Clarification on name - apparently it's Henderson, and I couldn't understand the explanation.

Appointment of an attorney - a young looking <modsnip> female.

Motion by defense to lower bond, motion by prosecution to declare "no bond", judge advised both motions will have to be in writing to be considered.

Will meet again tomorrow on new charges of murder, as they weren't officially entered yet into the court.

Live stream ended with the court appointed attorney approaching Henderson and having a discussion.

Thank you. I didn't realize there would be a representative in the courtroom from the public defender's office.

He can't afford bond anyway and said so himself so they have some time.

I believe I heard that
Another hearing will be held tomorrow morning at 9amCT

What was the attorney from the PDO requesting at the end?

Thank you. I didn't realize there would be a representative in the courtroom from the public defender's office.

Yeah in criminal cases most counties have someone there immediately so once they get assigned, the defendant has an attorney present right away. Helps prevent claims that the accused wasn't allowed to have counsel.

 

[Sincerely]

I definitely know that my calling is not to be a defense attorney. I had things go through my mind while watching him seem so nonchalant after killing a human being. Nope. Not for me. Bless those who can keep your emotions out of something so important for the sake of protecting everyone’s right to a fair trial. So, did I hear correctly that there would be another hearing in the morning?

I understood that he will be referred to as Abston. Still confused about the Henderson, I couldn't hear what the perp was saying.
Also, looks like the female that stepped is from the public defenders office? She prematurely asked for a gag order? Hard to hear with the mask on.

He's thinner than I expected. JMO

He is very tall, taller than the officers escorting him in.

There has been a flurry of activity on this one in the last 12-16 hours. Info is changing rapidly so they're trying to keep up. This initial chaos happens frequently in high profile cases like this one.

Dead man walking.

Public defender asked for a gag order. Judge told her no because it wasn't in writing. Same thing he told the State about the bond cancellation.

Judge also questioned the need for a gag order at this point since the new charges haven't even been filed. But he basically left it saying unless it's in writing, I'm not ruling.

He's thinner than I expected. JMO

I was thinking the same.

So will they go for the death penalty? I see it is legal in TN. Assuming all the evidence lines up I can't think of a more perfect use of the death penalty. I don't see why he deserves to live.

I’m not sure they can give him the death penalty if he confesses right now. Executions are on hold. Maybe for years.

Tennessee Executions Could Be on Hold for Years Following Independent Investigation, Anticipated Court Challenges

The anticipated delay, first reported by the Associated Press June 13, 2022, is a likely by-product of a decision by Governor Bill Lee to cancel all executions scheduled in the state for the remainder of 2022 and an agreement entered into by the Tennessee Attorney General's office in on-going…
