The 24-year-old was born in Phoenix and is a member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. She was booked into the Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives, in September for allegedly driving with a suspended license. Jacobo was scheduled to be released on Nov. 11, but what should have been a routine process was complicated and delayed by an erroneously issued ICE detainer. She was ultimately allowed to leave just before 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 12.
They don’t need the defendant to do anything to confirm they are who they are supposed to be. Where do you get this? The prosecution can provide fingerprint evidence, ID from the file, not the person… judge can ask once “are you …”. If the answer is not yes or no, he can warn them that the prosecutions evidence will be dnough if they don’t answer. And if yhey still don’t, just accept that evidrnce and move on. 5 minutes tops.
If they keep interrupting, move them to a room where they join by video and are muted when it isn’t thier turn to speak. This “can” be done. But the judges I have knowledge don’t tend to choose efficiency.
