LATEST JASON KIM. THAT HEARING
JUST WRAPPED UP FOR THE DAY.
THIS PRETRIAL IS AN ANTRIM
COUNTY DISTRICT COURT. IT’S
EXPECTED TO GO THE ENTIRE WEEK.
A LOT OF DETAILS WE HAVE HEARD
BEFORE FROM THE TWO PREVIOUS
FEDERAL TRIALS OF THE OTHER MEN
INVOLVED. THE STATE’S FIRST
WITNESS WAS A SPECIAL AGENT WITH
THE FBI WHO TESTIFIED ABOUT THE
SEVEN MONTH INVESTIGATION IN
2020. THEY FOCUSED ON THE JUNE
2020 MEETING IN DUBLIN, OHIO,
FOR MILITIA LEADERS TO PROMOTE
THE BOOGALOO MOVEMENT OR ANOTHER
CIVIL WAR. THAT MEETING WAS
HOSTED BY BARRY CROFT, WHO WAS
CONVICTED SIX DAYS AGO. FOR
PLOTTING TO KIDNAP GOVERNOR
GRETCHEN WHITMER TALKED ABOUT
THE JUSTIFICATION BEHIND WHY
THEY’D BE ABLE TO KILL PEOPLE.
UH JUSTIFICATION FOR POLITICAL
VIOLENCE. HOW KNOWLEDGE THE TIME
THEY TALKED ABOUT THE GOVERNOR
WHITMER. SHE WAS A TYRANNICAL
GOVERNOR AND SOME OF THE SUCCESS
THEY HAD GETTING THE LEGISLATURE
TO LISTEN BY STORMING THE
CAPITAL, BUT HOW THEY NEEDED TO
DO MORE, HOW THEY NEEDED ACTION
AND THEY NEEDED TO RECRUIT
OPERATORS WHO ARE WILLING TO
TAKE ACTION. DESPITE SEVERAL
OBJECTIONS. THE JUDGE ALLOWED
RECORDINGS BY THE FBI IS
CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE OF THAT
MEETING TO BE ADMITTED LEVEL
BUILDINGS. HOUSES THERE WERE
THERE INSIDE OF IT, AND I’M
GETTING READY THERE SO WE CAN
ALL SEE THIS IS WHAT TERRORIZED
TERRORIZED ATTORNEYS POINTED OUT
. THE ONLY DEFENDANT AT THAT
MEETING WAS BILL NOEL FOUNDATION
OF I’M GOING CONSPIRACY, WHICH
WERE MEETING ONE PERSON STANDS
UP AND SAYS CRAZY THINGS. I
DON’T KNOW HOW THAT CONSPIRACY
PROSECUTORS SAY LATER THAT YEAR,
FOUR OF THE DEFENDANTS WERE IN
ANTRIM COUNTY, DOING
SURVEILLANCE ON THE GOVERNOR’S
VACATION RESIDENTS. THE FIFTH
SHAWN FIX WAS IN TOUCH BY PHONE.
AND AGAIN WE EXPECT THIS TO GO
THE ENTIRE WEEK. TODAY THEY ONLY
GOT THROUGH DIRECT EXAMINATION
OF THAT FIRST WITNESS ON THE
PROSECUTION, AND I SHOULD ALSO
MENTION PETE MUSIC OH AND JOSEPH
MORRISON OF MUNICH AND PAUL
BOLLER OF MILFORD ARE ALREADY
BEING TRIED SEPARATELY IN
JACKSON COUNTY. THEY’RE SLATED
TO GO TO TRIAL IN OCTOBER. SO
WE’RE WATCHING BOTH OF THESE
HAPPEN. AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
DE’VEON ALRIGHT JASON TIMELINE
FOR REPAIRS BEING PUSHED BACK
AGAIN ON THE BROKEN WATER MAIN
THAT SPARKED THE BOIL. WATER
ADVISORY CREWS WERE HOPING TO
HAVE THE BROKEN PIPE FIXED BY
SATURDAY. THE GREAT LAKES WATER
AUTHORITY NOW SAYS IT WILL BE
LATER THAN THAT, THOUGH THEY
DON’T HAVE AN EXACT DATE. ONE
SEGMENT OF REPLACEMENT PIPE WAS
DELIVERED YESTERDAY. ANOTHER
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE TODAY. THE
FINAL PIECE SHOULD BE HERE IN
THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. THEY SAY.
THE SYSTEM, THOUGH, IS STILL
STABLE. WELL, A WHOLE LOT OF
EXCITEMENT AND MAYBE A LITTLE
BIT OF ANXIETY FOR THE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS WHO ATTEND
DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY WAS
THE FIRST FULL DAY OF CLASSES
AND THAT’S OUR PAMELA OSBORNE
REPORTS, STUDENTS ARE BACK IN
THE CLASSROOM AND NOTICING SOME
CHANGES. THERE WAS PLENTY OF
EXCITEMENT ON THIS FIRST DAY
THAT STARTS THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR
, AND IT’S A MORE NORMAL SCHOOL
YEAR ONE THAT STUDENTS MIGHT BE
USED TO OR HAVE TO GET USED TO
COUGH COME TO SCHOOL TODAY.
AFTER A LONG SUMMER BREAK. THIS
GROUP OF HUTCHINSON ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE READY TO GET
BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS.
SOME SPENT THEIR TIME AWAY FROM
THE CLASSROOM. STILL LEARNING
TWO TIMES FIVE IS FIVE. GOOD JOB
. YOU DID NOT GET RUSTY OVER THE
SUMMER. THINGS LOOK AND FEEL
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. NO MASKS,
NO SOCIAL DISTANCING AND NO
COVID TESTING REQUIRED, BUT IT’S
REALLY TIME TO GET BACK TO THE
WORK OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND
ALLOWING STUDENTS TO COME TO
SCHOOL TO FOCUS ON LEARNING NOT
MANAGING COVID LAST YEAR, 80% OF
STUDENTS ATTENDING DETROIT
PUBLIC COMMUNITY SCHOOLS WERE
CHRONICALLY ABSENT. THAT’S DUE
IN PART TO COVID PROTOCOLS,
WHICH FORCED STUDENTS TO ISOLATE
A POSITIVE COVID CASE WAS
DETECTED AND ROLL. MOMENT FOR
THE DISTRICT IS ALSO UP THIS
YEAR, BUT EXCITED AT THE SAME
TIME. I HAVE FOUR AND MY FOUR
YEAR OLD, SHE’S STARTING
PRESCHOOL THIS YEAR, SO IT’S
EXCITED JUST TO GET CLOSED OUT.
PET BAG. FIRST DAY, EVERYBODY
SUPERINTENDENT DR NIKOLAI VITTI
MADE THE ROUNDS TODAY WITH
SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT ANGELIQUE
PETERSON WELCOMING KIDS BACK THE
FIRST DAYS, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
ALWAYS THE BEST DAY. JUST A NEW
BEGINNING. A NEW WAY TO JUST
ENGAGE STUDENTS MEET THE NEW
STUDENTS, STUDENTS RETURNING
THERE’S ALWAYS A POSITIVE
ENERGY. I THINK OPENING DAY WITH
STUDENTS BACK IN THE CLASSROOM.
THE EMPHASIS NOW IS ON ACADEMIC
IMPROVEMENT. AND THEY ARE
EXPECTING TO SEE THAT REPORTING
AT HUTCHINSON ELEMENTARY. I’M
PAMELA OSBORNE LOCAL 4 GREAT
CHAMPS. THANK YOU AND THE
