ality in your case, right? Yes, sir. And you’re using drugs while on bond. Are you kidding me? You have no sense of the importance of sobriety after all this. And there are some people just like you who can’t follow the bond conditions and they’re sitting in jail, which if it was me, a day in jail, I you can’t have that back.
And it’s a day against without freedom and it could last a long time. But these are choices you make. which we um are waiting on test results from one of our experts if we did this. Last time we had this, we had the last setting that we it said that would be the absolute last announcement setting. We just go and set trial. Please do it.
All right. Set for trial. What about u the safeguards we have as conditions of bond here? Um what are they? So you’re not driving. She doesn’t She’s not allowed to drive. One of her bond conditions. She’s not And her father is here. He drives her. What about using drugs or alcohol? Do you use drugs or alcohol at all? So where do you do you live with your family? Yes, sir.
With my two kids and my dad. Ma’am. With my two kids and my dad. Okay. All right. Um, well, get a resetting, set it for trial, and then just have a seat over there as well. Thank you.

All right. Brian’s not going to fix the mess. want to check for bond. Um, Miss Abshar’s $30,000. Okay. and you are Carly Abshire in 224965. Uh the court has ordered a uh urine test which tested positive for THC tetrahydro canonol or marijuana and

Your support means a lot to us. Thanks. And uh now uh testing uh for drugs. Here’s what we’re going to do. Your um bond is revoked and your bond is increased to is doubled to $60,000. You must have a drug patch as a condition of bond. Uh, do you have uh some kind of a device for alcohol? She didn’t drive a car. She didn’t have Well, of course, if you happen to drive a vehicle, you would have to have a uh an interlock device.
But if she doesn’t have a vehicle, then it’s just easy for the court to say, “Do not operate a motor vehicle until further uh orders of the court.” But the next time it’ll be $120,000 until it gets to a point where you’re sitting in jail until all this. Um Mr. GS just tried a case yesterday that well had taken 3 years to finally get to court because of the backlog we have and there are some people just like you who can’t follow the bond conditions and they’re sitting in jail which if it was me a day in jail you can’t have that back and it’s a day against
without freedom and it could last a long time but these are choices you And my advice is just is quit whining about it and show the character and strength that you should have to make the correct choices. Well, do it. Unless you’re unable to make the right choice, these are pretty simple, straightforward choices, especially in light of what’s hanging over your head here for this challenge.
I can’t imagine, you know, fortunately, it doesn’t happen a lot, but when it happens, we have to make something. It has to have a consequence that’s adverse to your freedom. And are you employed somewhere? Yeah. Which means to get out of jail, someone else is going to have to pay for. It’s going to cost thousands of dollars. That’s what that these bad choices cost you and or others as well.
The the thing I’m just going to take one of one final step. You have to appreciate and understand that you’re not on this planet alone. You got others, right? 7 billion others. We rely on each other for making good choices so that we can have a full life safely. And you got family and friends, I presume, who care for you very much.
But they’re not going to be able they’re not going to by law, they can’t sit in jail while you’re making mistakes. You’ve got to you’re a grownup and you have to make the wise choices and you have to realize that bad choices have consequences. I think you’re able to make the right choices. Well, why aren’t you making them? Do it.
See, that’s there’s some people in here who are hopeless. They don’t have any hope. Like they’re going to make every they’re going to every time they have a chance to make a bad choice, they’re going to make a bad choice. I don’t think that’s you. But these are important mistakes that you have to fix. And you have to remember that your life touches other people’s lives as well.
Okay. Well, fix it. Do it immediately and do much better. Especially you’re capable of it. That’s what’s frustrating to me. It’s like, but you got to like I and everybody, Mr. GS, your family, everyone. We all are held accountable to the choices we make. So make better choices than you’ve been making.
