Defendant's prior criminal record

For the rape trial that continues today, I've put together much of the defendant's prior record.

I think this includes most of the convictions, though it doesn't include arrests (and a few dismissed charges, e.g. thefts where it seems the witnesses did not show up) not counted. There were 53 items in the Hamilton County record (on 5/24/19).

The record shows an effort at alternative sentencing and "theft school" in 2003, with several years of incarceration starting in 2009.

The initial set of alleged rapes were perpetrated shortly after he was released from prison, in 2012. He briefly alluded to his time in prison in his testimony, day 4.

4/22/2003 Forgery. 9/9/03 Judgment entry: sentence to community control the defendant is to pay a fine of $1,000 and court costs. The defendant is to pay restitution of $389.22 to Krogers. The defendant must perform 350 hours of community service. The defendant must complete NCTI theft school. The defendant must have either a w-2 income on a weekly basis or defendant must perform 35 hours of community service per week.

I need to ask more about his current status. He's in jail, due to a prior conviction, but they set bail in anticipation of ending his current sentence.

Race, violence, and justice. How has race mattered in the rape trial I've been observing? 1. Yesterday, the defendant called his one and only witness. She's a former girlfriend, the mother of one of the alleged victims. They had a long Q&A or conversation, maybe 45 minutes. The judge interrupted them, periodically, supposedly for the sake of the court reporter (never the jury IIRC) sitting 3 feet from the witness, to tell them to speak more slowly or more loudly, not to speak over each other. But the problem wasn't their speed or volume, it was their 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 (see article below). 2. The defendant and the 4 victims are African American. But nearly everybody judging the case is (or passes as) white. The whites include the judge, the prosecution team (except 1), 10/12 jurors, the backup public defender, the victim advocates, the social workers (well, I missed 1 or 2), the clerk, the bailiff, and all the police o...

Emotions and testimony If there's a "typical" rape trial, are victims steered to testify about the pain and feelings that they experienced? Or do prosecutors tend to downplay the emotional aspects? I'm observing a trial in Cincinnati. The victims were minors, ages 7-10 at the time, 2 girls and 2 boys. In their testimony, they said little about their emotions -- and the prosecutor didn't asked them about it IIRC. Perhaps with an adult victim of rape, the prosecutor has to show a lack of consent and thus might focus more on emotional and physical pain? Whereas when the victims are children, would the prosecution downplay emotions because they assume that jurors would imagine the worse, or would already see rape of children as intrinsically monstrous enough? Or because they want to (appear to) protect the survivors' from undue trauma? Or because a child's capability to testify is fragile, so they keep to the basic observable facts? We...

First day of a rape trial in Cincinnati. Today I observed the beginning of a trial in Cincinnati's county court -- several counts of rape against minors. Defendant is representing himself but only repeats that he does not consent to trial. Jurors questioned (only by prosecution) and three were dismissed. The courtroom is fairly relaxed, which I sometimes found disconcerting. The assigned public defender moved to the public seats, near me. One juror dismissed presumably because wanted to know why case not pursued by a now retired detective circa 2012, as mentioned by prosecutor. The accused repeatedly cites the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), apparently claiming to be a “sovereign citizen” not subject to the state. Well, initially he argued w the judge about the type of trial, as if questioning whether it should be a bench or jury trial. But when the judge asked whether he wanted bench instead of jury trial, he didn’t respond directly. So she took that as a pass and ...
