#JudgeMelissiaRMogen #CourtroomDrama #WisconsinCourt #CourtHearing #THCDiversion #OWI Judge Mogen STOPS Court: “That’s Not Appropriate!” Judge Melissia R. Mogen presides over a series of initial court appearances in Wisconsin involving charges ranging from THC possession and driving while revoked to OWI-related offenses. Early in the hearing, two defendants are offered the opportunity to participate in the county's THC Diversion Program, which allows qualifying participants to have their charges dismissed after successfully completing the program. The judge encourages them to take advantage of the offer, explaining that doing so could resolve their cases without returning to court. The hearing becomes more engaging when Deandra Carillo appears on multiple charges, including operating a vehicle while revoked, failing to install an ignition interlock device, THC possession, and possession of drug paraphernalia. As the judge reviews the charges and possible penalties, Carillo expresses concern about the costs of fines and reinstating her driving privileges. Judge Mogen provides practical guidance while maintaining courtroom order, even pausing the proceedings to remind the defendant that inappropriate language or gestures are not acceptable in court. Later, another defendant charged with resisting an officer and a second-offense OWI chooses to represent herself. Judge Mogen carefully explains the risks of self-representation, outlines the legal process in plain language, and ensures the defendant understands her constitutional rights before discussing the prosecution's plea offer. Throughout the hearing, Judge Mogen balances firmness with patience, emphasizing fairness, respect, and accountability while helping each defendant understand the legal options available.
