Manchester Police Chief Speaks Against PR Bail For Woman Charged For Pistol Whipping

 



A 29-year-old Manchester woman charged with pistol whipping another woman Monday morning has been released on personal recognizance bail, police said.

Manchester police charged Tanisha Ozuna with first-degree assault with a firearm, reckless conduct, criminal threatening and burglary, according to a news release. The incident occurred around 9:40 a.m. at an apartment on Somerville Street.

She was released by Superior Court Judge David Anderson.

Police Chief Allen Aldenberg called Ozuna’s alleged actions extremely violent.

“This behavior is alarming and for Ms. Ozuna to be released on PR bail is incomprehensible,” the chief said in a statement.

The victim told police she was holding a young child at the time of the assault. The woman suffered multiple injuries to her head, according to the release.

“I believe releasing Ms. Ozuna on PR sends not only the wrong message, but puts the community in danger,” Aldenberg said.

Ozuna's attorney Adam Bernstein said she has no prior record and is the primary caregiver for three minor children.

“In this case, the state had the burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that preventative detention was warranted,” he said. “The state failed to meet their burden and the judge released Ms. Ozuna on PR bail with conditions.”

As part of the conditions, Ozuna’s mother is going to supervise the release, Bernstein said.

“There is conflicting evidence which might give rise to a self defense claim,” he said.

Harris County District Court Judge Stopped For Multiple Traffic Violations Including Driving On The Wrong Side of The Road

Image
  Before Harris County District Court Judge Kelli Johnson took at least a month off from work for personal matters following a crisis intervention call at her house, she was pulled over for multiple traffic violations and then volunteered to do a field sobriety test. ABC13 obtained a body-worn camera video of the encounter through an open records request. The Harris County Sheriff's Office explained that most of the video is black due to an "obstruction," but the audio is clear. Sgt. Colin McHugh made the initial stop. Johnson: "I'm a judge." McHugh: "You're a judge?" Johnson: "A criminal district judge. Yes." The stop happened at about 8 p.m. on April 12, three days before Johnson found Brian Coulter guilty of murdering his girlfriend's son, whose body was left to rot for a year. She mentioned the case twice during the 45-minute-long encounter and asked a second deputy, who arrived, to give her the Standard Field Sobriety Test (S

New Election Ordered for 180th District Court in Harris County

Image
  A judge ordered Harris County to hold a new election for the 180th District Court judge after Republican candidate Tami Pierce, who narrowly lost to Democratic Judge DaSean Jones, filed a lawsuit challenging the results. Jones won by a margin of 449 votes in 2022. Judge David Peeples, a visiting judge from Bexar County, issued the order Wednesday. * * *  In the findings of fact and conclusions of law, Peeples said 983 votes cast in the 2022 race were determined to be invalid because voters lived outside Harris County or had other residency-related issues. Additionally, 445 voters did not show a valid form of photo identification and 48 mail ballots lacked required signatures or were not received before the deadline. More than a year after Pierce filed the election contest, the court ordered Jones to pay Pierce more than $65,000 in attorney fees, which Peeples said was reasonable given Jones’ motion to dismiss the case. “This court held that Jones’s motion to dismiss was without merit
