Jacob Blake makes court appearance from hospital bedDeneen Smith, Sep 4, 2020

Jacob Blake made an appearance in court from his hospital bed Friday, pleading not guilty to criminal charges that predated his shooting by Kenosha Police,
Wearing a blue shirt and yellow tie, Blake, 29, answered a court commissioner’s questions clearly, his voice strong, responding “yes sir” when asked if he understood the proceedings.
The hearing was held online via Zoom, as the majority of court hearings have been during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Blake’s attorney entered a non-guilty plea on his behalf, and Blake waived his right to a preliminary hearing, allowing the case to move forward.
The court appearance was his first on the charges related to an incident that occurred several months ago.

At the hearing, the prosecution asked for — and the court commissioner approved — a $10,000 signature bond for Blake, the conditions of that bond suggested by the state allowing him to see the woman named in the complaint and the children but to have “no violent contact” with her.
