2. SOUNDBITE (English) Joey Clifton, Davidson County Assistant District Attorney:
"Defendant was on the sixth floor of the rooftop bar. The defendant picked up a chair, threw it off the sixth floor. The chair landed on Broadway approximately three feet from where officers Gavin Treese and Officer Yurislav Holikov were standing, placing them in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Judge Cynthia Chappell:
"On the other hand, if you do not successfully complete your probation or you have other arrests or trouble with the law, you run the risk of losing your judicial diversion status. And if that happens, these offenses convert to convictions on your record. Do you understand that sir?"
UPSOUND (English) Morgan Wallen:
"Yes, I understand."
4. UPSOUND (English) Judge Cynthia Chappell:
"Mr. Wallen, did you hear the facts as read by the assistant district attorney?"
Morgan Wallen: "I did hear them."
Chappell: "Are those facts true and correct?"
Morgan Wallen: "Substantially, yes."
Chappell: "Are you waiving your right here today and entering a plea of guilty in your pending case?"
Wallen: "Conditionally guilty, Yes, ma’am."
Chappell: "In case number 2024i687, where you were charged with two counts of reckless endangerment. How do you plead sir?
Wallen: "Conditionally guilty."
