In a recent court session, several defendants faced charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, with bond amounts and legal representation discussed in detail.

Nalani Gruel was charged with a Class B misdemeanor for driving while intoxicated. Her bond was set at $2,000, but she was granted a personal bond, allowing her to be released without payment. The court emphasized the importance of attending future court dates and offered her the option of a court-appointed attorney.

Alethea Johnson appeared on a motion to revoke her probation related to a felony. Although her bond was denied, she was informed that her attorney could request a bond from the district judge. She was also offered a court-appointed attorney to assist her in the process.

Judith Wigbo faced serious charges of third-degree felony assault causing bodily injury to a family member by strangulation. Initially set at $3,500, her bond was reduced to $2,500 due to her lack of prior arrests and the alleged victim's desire for her release. The court reiterated the importance of resolving conflicts non-violently and offered her a court-appointed attorney.

Demya Jackson was charged with multiple theft offenses, including a state jail felony theft and a Class A misdemeanor theft, totaling a bond amount of $8,000. The court denied a personal bond due to the nature of the allegations and her pending probation violation case in Dallas. She was also instructed not to return to any Alta store locations and was given the option for a court-appointed attorney.

The session highlighted the court's approach to balancing the severity of charges with the defendants' circumstances, while ensuring legal representation and adherence to court protocols.
