START OF TRANSCRIPT
Clerk: Your honor, the matter before the court is Commonwealth vs. Lamar Dow. Docket 21-365. Would counsel please identify yourselves to the court.
Graham: Morning your honor, Graham Van Epps for the Commonwealth.
Judge: Good morning [unintelligible].
Keith: Morning your honor, Keith Durden stand-by counsel.
Judge: How are you?
Keith: I’m well your honor, thank you.
Judge: And sir, how are you this morning?
Jamil: I’m Jamil. I’m fine.
Judge: Okay, you’re Jamil. Is that your first name or last name?
Jamil: It’s a name I’m known by.
Judge: Okay. You’re known by Jamil Rasul Bey? Is that the name you’re using?
Jamil: Mr. Budreau? Why does it matter…
Judge: [Interjects] Excuse me, excuse me. My name is not Mr. Budreau. You can call me your honor…
Jamil: [Interjects] My name ain’t Mr…
Judge: You can call me “Your honor” or “Judge Budreau” please.
Jamil: My honor, okay. No problem. If I already established that I’m not Lamar Dow, why do we keep asking these questions about names?
Judge: First of all, that has not been established and I…
Jamil: It has been established. I have documented evidence on that.
Judge: So, I think that if you want to file a motion to dismiss based upon that, you should do so. I haven’t seen one yet. Maybe there’s something in there that has been ruled on beforehand. Attorney Van Epps can you tell me what the chain of events are in terms of motions?
Graham: I believe there are motions that have been filed. They haven’t been ruled on because we’ve never gotten past the colloquy necessary for him to proceed pro se. I would also point out in the last hearing…
Judge: He was removed.
Graham: Yes, I received a… I guess I would title it… basically a request for a proof of claim and it was a series of questions directed at me personally by name, but also the court I believe.
Jamil: Do you have them?
Graham: And given that the defendant has, on a number of occasions, been advised that – you know – this is not a civil case, it’s a criminal case, he’s been indicted. There isn’t a claim and…
Jamil: [Interjects] If it’s criminal then produce the injured party.
Bailiff #1 of 3: Sir! let him finish [unintelligible].
Judge: You will have your opportunity, you need to wait.
Jamil: I will have my opportunity before I’m rushed out again? [unintelligible] abused by the court.
Judge: [Interjects] [unintelligible] don’t comply with the orders of the court and you don’t comply with…
Jamil: I don’t have to comply with your orders, you haven’t proven no authority.
Bailiff #1 of 3: Sir, sir.
Jamil: Are we done here? Because I can leave now.
Graham: I was going to request an evaluation under Chapter 123 Section 15.
Judge: I think that’s appropriate, Bridgewater. Based upon review, docket review of…
Jamil: [Interjects] Failure to state a claim, there’s no relief that I can be granted. You haven’t stated a proper claim against me and the court continues to abuse me. I don’t consent to anything. Are we done here?
Judge: [unintelligible]
Jamil: [Interjects] I’m not the defendant. Are we done here?
Bailiff #1 of 3: [unintelligible]
Jamil: Are we done here?
Judge: We are going to [unintelligible]
Jamil: [Interjects] Because I’m not going to be thrown out like I did last time.
Judge: [Continues] Bridgewater for 15 days evaluation, and that can be [unintelligible]…
Jamil: [Interjects] Who are you dealing with here?
Judge: Okay, thank you sir.
Jamil: Okay
