"YOU TOSSED A 1-YEAR-OLD INFANT OUT OF A CAR!" — Judge Raises Bond to $100k & Sends Inmate to Jail!

In a Texas Criminal District Court session, a judge delivers a stern rebuke to Brandon Lafleur (Cause No. 24CR2161) after reading a disturbing probable cause affidavit detailing the intentional throwing of a 1-year-old infant out of a moving vehicle.

In this video:
00:00 - Public Defender Request Denied for Employed Defendant: Defendant Brandon Lafleur admits earning $19.50/hour ($50,000/year). The Judge scolds him for expecting taxpayers to fund his defense before reading the underlying felony charges.

01:15 - Horrifying Probable Cause Affidavit Detailed: The Judge reads police reports alleging Lafleur struck his girlfriend during a moving vehicle argument, causing her to fall out, before tossing her 1-year-old granddaughter out of the moving car onto the road.

02:30 - "The Affidavit Is Not True!" — Defendant Denies Allegations: Lafleur denies pushing the infant and claims police committed perjury in the grand jury indictment, while the Judge highlights facial injuries sustained by the child.

03:45 - Bond Raised from $15,000 to $100,000 & Taken Into Custody: Stating "on this court's watch you will not harm an infant," the Judge increases Lafleur's bond to $100,000 cash/surety, orders immediate remanded custody, and mandates GPS home confinement if released.

04:45 - Public Defender Assigned & Case Reset: Due to the revised $100,000 bond preventing immediate release, the Judge allows Lafleur to complete an indigency evaluation and appoints defense attorney John West to represent him for an announcement reset in 4 weeks.
