Outlines
Initial Court Proceedings đ
The first paragraph outlines the beginning of a court case where the defendant, Princess Kia (also known as Dejan Anderson), is being questioned about her identity and personal details. She states her date of birth as February 2nd, 1961, and mentions not having a social security number but instead a declaration of nationality. She is charged with three counts of criminal conduct: murder as a felony, neglect of a dependent resulting in death, and obstruction of justice. The potential penalties for these charges are outlined, and Anderson expresses her intention to represent herself in court.
Self-Representation and Rights đ
In this paragraph, the court explains to Anderson her rights, including the right to a speedy public trial, the right to face all witnesses against her, and the right to remain silent. Anderson confirms her understanding of these rights and her intention to self-represent, despite the court's suggestion to appoint standby counsel. The state argues for a high bond due to the severity of the charges and Anderson's out-of-state location, but Anderson counters by stating she has been under surveillance and thus not a fugitive. The court overrules her objection and sets her bond, while also suggesting the assignment of a public defender.
Bond Discussion and Court Assignment đŹ
The final paragraph focuses on the discussion around Anderson's bond and the assignment of legal representation. Anderson argues against the need for a high bond, citing her surveillance by the NSA and Space Force. The court acknowledges the difficulty in locating her previously but ultimately decides to set no bond at this time, with the condition that if Space Force agrees to monitor her, the bond issue may be revisited. The court also orders that Anderson be assigned a public defender, who can withdraw if she proves her ability to self-represent. The proceedings are concluded with Anderson being remanded to the custody of the Washington County Sheriff's Department.

Ok.
And do you understand the potential penalties?
I do,
do you intend to hire a lawyer or is someone likely to hire a lawyer for you?
Uh I wanna file a motion for self representation.
You understand, if you do that,
you are required to conduct yourself as a lawyer
to be able to board our
uh potential jurors to abide by the rules of evidence,
to abide by the rules of procedure.
I do understand. I have a master's in history
that doesn't give you a lot of
reason,
but I do understand how to read procedures and understand the core procedures
just because of,
just because you represent yourself that that doesn't make,
doesn't insure yourself of a good lawyer. You know,
that's a personal opinion, but I understand,
make your, make your request in writing.
Ok,
I will most definitely.
Can you give me at least just like five days and I could get it to you.
I can certainly give you
five
days to
do
that.
I think what my intention would be.
Let me ask you this. Can you afford a lawyer?
Um, it's not that I can't afford a lawyer. It's that I wanna do self res
representation due to, I understand the nature of my case
and I understand that this is my life on the line and I,
I do understand that there are things that involve my
case as far as the evidence that I hold,
which is q classified evidence,
which should be turned over to
judge Advocate General courts immediately if possible
because my case involves other cases that are open currently with Judge
Advocate General courts as well as federal investigations that are open.
Well, the Judge Advocate General uh,
approaches us and we'll address it at that point in time.
Mhm.
How about I appoint you stand by counsel?
Uh No, thank you.
No, thank you.
You make a written question.
I need to advise you. You have a right to a speedy public trial.
By jury in this county, you have the right to face all witnesses against you,
see your question and cross examine those witnesses.
You have the right to have witnesses brought in to court to testify on your behalf.
And at your request, the court will issue subpoenas requiring those individuals
to come into court to testify on your behalf, to bring evidence in.
You have the right to have the state prove you guilty. Beyond a reasonable doubt,
you have the right to remain silent,
cannot be required to give any testimony or
make any statements against yourself to anyone.
You do have the right to be heard in your own
defenses in hearing your trial concerning the charges against you.
Anything you say however, may be used against you.
Do you have any questions concerning your rights?
No, I do not
and I will set this matter for a pretrial conference on the 25th day of April
at
9 a.m.
A trial date of the sixth day of August
of this year at 8:30 a.m. and an omnibus date of June the
15th.
Do you have any questions at all?
No, I do not have any questions.
You'll sign this reappearance slip
will
discuss the issue of bond
miss. Uh
what's the state's position?
Yes, your honor.
Um
Given the gravity of this case.
Uh First of all,
I would like for you just to take judicial notice of the probable
cause affidavit that the state filed in support of these three charges as,
uh, which resulted in the arrest warrant.
I'd also like to bring to the judge's attention that
it's almost a two year mark of officers locating,
um, this at
the time on
an unidentified little boy in the woods.
Um,
so I would argue that the defendant has been a fugitive since that time has, uh,
her identification has been made.
Um, I think that raises any bond
in a murder case to be something
of the utmost importance and should be of an amount
that should be very
difficult if not impractical for her to,
to be able to afford her. I feel she will be
uh
absconded from this, this court. She's never been from Indiana.
She's not from Washington County is my understanding.
She was located in, in California.
So on that reserve, I would leave that to the court.
Uh
And if further motion is needed on the state's behalf, I will make that
can
make
you
just made an objection.
State
the basis of your objection.
The basis of my objection is the fact that I am not a fugitive.
I have been under NSA surveillance for the past eight months.
And how can that qualify me as a fugitive on the run when
I'm also had a detail from space force that was following my every move
when I contacted
the
Indiana State.
That is not a valid legal objection.
If you wanna represent yourself,
you're gonna have to learn the rules of evidence and the rules of procedure
because if you conduct yourself like this and make these types of objections,
you have no chance.
So objection overrule, but I will let you make argument in regards to Bond.
Ok.
Well, thank you.
So that's my, my argument is that
I have been under surveillance by NSA for over eight months.
I also have a detail that follows me everywhere I go from Space Force military as to,
I also contacted Indiana State.
I think it was a federal marshal that I called to have my location track to pick me up.
So there's no
type of extent of me running where I need this astronomical bond
on my charges.
Well,
that's sort of interesting because it's my understanding
office of Music has been in touch with almost
every one of those agencies and they haven't
been able to identify your location until recently.
So
I'm gonna set your bond with no bond at this particular point.
And that point in time that if space force comes forward and
tells me that they're willing to monitor you,
uh, we'll take up the issue of bond at a later time.
Anything else?
No, your honor.
All right. We'll be off record at 144.
You can,
she's remanded to the custody of the Washington County Sheriff's Department.
Thank
you.
Thank you. You're welcome.
0,
2075
stuff.
But it
was,
it's coming.
The health
Ok.
Ok.
01 2nd.
Go back home.
Right.
Right.
Based on what I've just heard,
I'm gonna ask someone from the public defender
office to be assigned to represent Miss Anderson,
uh, if she files a, a written request and demonstrates that she has the ability, uh,
to understand and comprehend, um,
and represent herself, I mean,
ask them to withdraw or require no longer require their services. But, uh, I
think it's appropriate that someone from the public defender
office be assigned at this particular point in time.
If private counsel is hired, they can withdraw,
we'll be it now, we'll be off record.
Thank you.
Thank
you.
Fair.
Ok.
