MATT OSBORNE AND BRENT BOWLBY NOVEMBER 21 AT 4:37 PM

Brent Bowlby, subject of our reporting at The Distance, faced Judge Mary Yunker for a hearing in Minnesota yesterday. He is accused of harassing his ex-partner, Kelly Magda, by talking to us about her years-long campaign to keep his children from him and secretly transition his daughter. 

Mr. Bowlby reported that his hearing was very brief and explained that the court has a dilemma to resolve before he returns to court on 15 January in the new year.

Liz Collin from Alpha News discuss The Bowlby Fiiles podcast with the creator of the podcast, Matt Osborne.

The discussion starts at about the 17 minute mark: Alpha News: Educate with Liz Collin.

Brent had an "Omnibus" hearing scheduled for 1:30 PM in Sherburne County Court with Judge Yunker on 11/20/2024.  The hearing was never held and instead judge Yunker issued a continuance until January 15, 2025 because the Judge "Conflicted" everyone because the court needs time to resolve the issue of finding legal representation for Brent. This situation occurs when:

1. Conflict of Interest: All potential defense attorneys, such as the public defender’s office or previously appointed attorneys, are unable to represent the defendant due to ethical conflicts (e.g., prior relationships with involved parties, representing co-defendants, or other conflicting duties).

2. Legal Requirement for Counsel: The U.S. Constitution and Minnesota law guarantee the right to effective legal representation in felony cases. If no qualified, conflict-free attorney is available, the court cannot proceed.

3. Appointment Process Delay: Identifying and appointing a conflict-free attorney, especially for complex felony cases, may take time. This can involve searching for a qualified private attorney or contracting with an alternative public defense service.

4. Case Complexity: Felony cases often involve intricate legal issues, multiple parties, and sensitive evidence, making it crucial to ensure the attorney assigned can focus solely on the defendant’s interests without any conflict.

Why a Continuance is Necessary

Fair Trial: The court must ensure the defendant's right to a fair trial by appointing an attorney who can effectively advocate for them without divided loyalties.

Avoiding Appeals: Proceeding without addressing conflicts could lead to claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, which could overturn a conviction or lead to costly retrials.

Practical Considerations: The delay ensures that the newly appointed attorney has time to review case materials and prepare an effective defense.

In these cases, the court typically reschedules the proceedings to allow time for the conflict to be resolved and a new attorney to be assigned. While this can be frustrating, it is a necessary step to protect the integrity of the judicial process.

The article is behind a paywall, but the site offers a seven day free trial. I highly recommend this podcast.

🚨 An alarming update 🚨 

Please copy and repost. I haven't yet received official legal representation, and I have two weeks before I am in front of Judge Yunker. The promises of help have not yet happened. Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. 

Judge Mary Yunker: A Troubling Judicial History and Its Impact on Brent Bowlby

Judge Mary Yunker has held a prominent role in Minnesota's judicial system, but her history raises significant concerns. After earning her Juris Doctor from Northwestern University School of Law in 1980, she served in various legal roles across Minnesota, culminating in her appointment as a judge in the Tenth Judicial District in 2004. She served until her retirement on November 15, 2021, but her tenure was far from uncontroversial.

One of the most tragic cases under Judge Yunker’s oversight involved 8-year-old Autumn Hallow, who died after enduring abuse from her father and stepmother. Despite clear signs of concern, Judge Yunker failed to enforce Autumn’s mother’s parental rights, which would have seen her returned to her mother’s care. Following this heartbreaking outcome, Autumn’s mother filed a $30 million lawsuit against Sherburne County, which was later settled out of court. Judge Yunker quietly retired shortly after this case, but her controversial judicial decisions have had far-reaching consequences.

Brent Bowlby knows this all too well. Judge Yunker has been overseeing Brent’s family court case since 2017. For years, she did not enforce his parental rights, leaving him powerless in his relationship with his children. Instead of protecting his rights as a father, she allowed years to pass without upholding due process. Many saw her retirement as a step toward accountability for her handling of family court cases, but she has since returned as a Senior Judge, serving statewide. Now, alarmingly, she has been assigned to preside over a new case against Brent, this time a felony charge for an alleged non-violent harassment order violation due to a journalist contacting his ex and a non-threating email from Brent to his ex on or about July 23 2024.

This situation raises serious questions. How can a judge who failed to protect a father’s parental rights for years, and who was involved in one of Minnesota’s most heartbreaking family tragedies, be allowed to return and oversee the very man she previously neglected to support? The inconsistency is troubling, and Brent’s case deserves the attention of the public and legal advocates alike.
