The People were represented by Casey Ayer, Deputy District
Attorney.
The Court Reporter was Jon Sasek, CSR 1650.
The following proceedings were then had, to wit:)
COURT: Okay. You folks in the box, sadly in orange,
you all are here for arraignment. I will tell you what the
charges are against you. I will advise all of you of your
rights, then I will call your cases individually.
First of all, you have the right to be represented bySc wera aunewn

a lawyer. If you can't afford one, one will be appointed to
assist you.
There may or may not be a hearing at the end of your case
to determine whether you have the means to repay the County for
some of the costs of providing a lawyer.
You have a right to a jury trial, and in the case of
felonies you have the right to a preliminary examination, which is
@ hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to bind you
over for trial.
In a jury trial, that means 12 citizens randomly selected
from the community would have to be convinced of your guilt beyond
a reasonable doubt before you could be found guilty. That
includes the right to confront the witnesses against you, have
your attorney challenge their testimony in court. The right to
remain silent, not incriminate yourself. Also the right to put on
a defense, to present evidence, to call witnesses, and that
includes using the power of the Court to subpoena or order
witnesses to come to testify in your behalf.
So with that advisement, is there any order you wish,
Ms. Zuromskis?
MS. ZUROMSKIS: No, your Honor.
(Unrelated matters were heard. Proceedings were
then had, to wit:)
COURT: Let me turn to F19-461, Mr. Strickland.
DEFENDANT: Yes, your Honor.
COURT: Mr. Strickland, you have a felony complaint, four
counts, three felonies and a misdemeanor. And you also want the
services of an attorney, so I will appoint the Public23

Defender.
DEFENDANT: It just kind of depends. I might actually
have a lawyer come. I just haven't had a chance to talk to
anybody yet.
‘cour’
Well, you are in custody. Since you don’t have a
lawyer yet it is in your best interests, if you don’t mind, to
appoint a lawyer to help you. Tf you substitute in another lawyer
later on, you can work that out.
DEFENDAN'
AlL right.
MS. 2UROMSKIS: I will acknowledge receipt, waive further
advisement at this time, with the understand/@hat Mr. Strickland
may be thinking about hiring a private attorney.
I do notice we got a pretrial release report, and it says
that ur. Strickland is eligible for pretrial release.
So I would ask the Court to consider releasing nim on
pretrial release and allow him to be at liberty to seek assistance
of a counsel of his choice.
I will explain to you, Mr. Strickland, I am asking the
judge to release you on this program where you are supervised by
Probation while you are out.
DEFENDANT: Okay.
MS. ZUROMSKT:
+ Which means you have to report to
Probation just like you are on normal probation, and there are
rules like no drugs or no guns. That is what I am asking the
Judge to do. The Judge will make a decision one way or the other.
DEFENDANT: All right. Thank you.
COURT: People or Probation wish to be heard further?
I see their recommendations on the pretrial release order,Sc eaxaaueun

the conditions. Is there anything else you wish to
PROBATION OFFICER: I will submit it to the Court.
MS. AYER: I wasn’t aware of the recommendation, but if
Probation thinks that he is suitable and can be supervised on
pretrial with those conditions, then I will submit.
COURT: All right. I’m going to defer to Probation’ s
recommendation then, Mr. Strickland, You will be released.
You have to report to your supervising officer as
directed. So as soon as you get out of custody go to the
Probation Department. You should be able to get there this
afternoon.
How long will it take to process him out of the jail, a
couple hours?
BAILIFF: Four hours.
cour’
You can go directly to Probation today.
DEFENDAN'
Okay. Cool.
COURT: If you don’t get out of there in time to go today,
you must go tomorrow. And further, attend all interviews and
appointments that Probation has directed, come to all the court
dates. Obey all laws. Not leave the state without getting
permission from a Probation Officer.
MS. ZUROMSKT:
If you have a question, save it for me,
okay?
DEFENDANT: Okay. All right.

treatment or medications that you enroll in. Not possess illegal
restricted drugs, controlled substances. Notify your Supervising

And do you agree to those terms?
DEFENDAN
Yes, your Honor.

MS. ZUROMSET:
Mr. Strickland, how long do you think it
is going to take you to make your decision about your attorney and
to hire or not an attorney?
DEFENDAN'
Well, I --
