Brandon Rutherford wore a face mask Wednesday as he stood in front of a Hamilton County judge to be sentenced for his recent drug conviction.
"I had the mask on because I heard the COVID numbers were back up," Rutherford told the WCPO 9 I-Team.
Rutherford, 21, said Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Wagner asked him questions.
"He asked me, was I vaccined?" Rutherford said. "I told him no. And he asked me if I planned to get vaccined, and I told him no."
Rutherford said that's when Wagner ordered him to get a COVID-19 vaccine shot within two months as a condition of Rutherford's community control, which is often called probation.
"I don't plan on getting it. I don't want it," Rutherford said. "So, for him to tell me that I have to get it in order for me to not violate my probation is crazy because I'm just trying to do what I can to get off this as quickly as possible, like finding a job and everything else, but that little thing can set me back."
Rutherford's attorney, Carl Lewis, stood next to his client during sentencing.
"When you hear that, you're like, 'Whoa, I don't think the judges are within their powers to do that,'" Lewis said.
Lewis told the I-Team this is the first time he's heard of a Hamilton County judge ordering someone to get the COVID vaccine.
On Rutherford's court papers, there's a question mark next to the judge's requirement for Rutherford to get vaccinated.
"If he truly believes that he's within authority to order the individual to get a vaccine, then we'll have a legal issue to address," Lewis said.
The I-Team sent the judge's staff an email and left two phone messages requesting comment on the court order, but they did not respond.
"It's not like I'm out here getting into any more trouble or anything like that," Rutherford said. "But because I don't take a shot, they can send me to jail. I don't agree with that."
Why not just order him to lethally overdose so he won’t catch Covid, give it to anyone else, or die from it.
Geez! These judges are drunk with power.

Now now, don’t get too far ahead of the program…
You’ll spook the sheep.
A judge acting like a democrat instead of a judge.
Remind me not to drive through Hamilton County. Wherever the hell that is.
I have a hard time not doing that, after having worked in uniform for 25 years, in NY State's prison system.
And probably drunk on booze, and/or high on drugs too.
More like the American masses are petrified from fear of covid.
Think of this, just within a few weeks more, THREE TIMES more Americans will have volunteered for the jabs than total votes president Trump received in 2020.
That order will be fun to litigate.
“350 Million Americans are already vaccinated”.
Well, then on second thought, I’ll take jail; At least then my sentence has a specific date when I’ll be free. Rather than wondering when I’ll be debilitated or dead from the ‘vaccine’.
Gutless cowards.
“ “Now now, don’t get too far ahead of the program…”

years, in NY State’s prison system.”

Looks like now prison won’t be an option.
You’ll get forcibly injected an you MAY be allowed to pray it won’t be
lethal or damning.
Why didn’t they release him with all the other that were released before they had the covid shot was available?
Well, then on second thought, I’ll take jail;
Very well then. Jabs for all prisoners!
