## Resource

In a courtroom buzzing with nearly thirty cases in one morning, Judge Hix presides over a whirlwind of crime—from college burglaries and PlayStation thefts to meth charges and repeat DUIs. Eruera pleads guilty to seven counts, including bike theft; Graeme opts for jury trial after allegedly stealing a necklace and injuring someone. Michael takes a deal on 27 charges, including meth import; Cody admits to six thefts and gets supervision after a confusing sentencing. Angela, a repeat drink-driver, gets 28 days’ driving ban and an interlock device. A business owner, granted a third limited license after speeding, is warned he’s “cutting it fine.” Tiesha, facing serious drug charges, gets bail for the fourth time, with Judge Hix reminding her: “Your whānau gave you mana—now prove you’ll keep it.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
