Disordr in the court
THE COURT: Is Ms. K. present?
COUNSEL: Good morning, Your Honor. This is the day scheduled for her sentencing in this prostitution matter. I am unable to explain her absence from the court.
THE COURT: All right, the defendant not appearing, her bond will be forfeited and a warrant issued.
COUNSEL: Your Honor, the last phone number I had for her, was the Your Motel. Does the Court have a phone number different than 555-9081?
THE COURT: Well, I see she has an address in Belleville. The Your Motel may be a business address.
COUNSEL: I would hope not.
-------
THE COURT: Billy, is that your true name, or is it George?
DEFENDANT: You should know, you da judge, ain't you?
THE COURT: Yeah, but I wasn't there when your mom and dad gave you the name. That's why I'm asking you the question.
DEFENDANT: My correct name is Billy. I don't know where they get that shit George.
THE COURT: We'll let the record reflect that Billy says Shit George is not his true name.
