Inmate Lane Myers, represented by “Attorney” Lane Myers and backup attorney Mark R. Resnick, will have his initial appearance in court later today following his now three-day stay in the Pima County Adult Detention Center for probation violations.
Myers got a rare win this week as Judge D. Douglas Metcalf took over the case from Judge Brendan Griffin, after Metcalf ruled that Myers successfully used his “get out of judge free” card under Arizona law to object to Griffin’s presence as a judge in the case.
Josh Gray, Myers’ primary supporter, despite conditions of Myers’ probation prohibiting Myers from communicating with him, hailed the decision as a grandiose win for Myers in multiple livestreams on Thursday.
He also promoted the statement Myers has apparently been making about the case against him, primarily that the prosecution is hanging one of the accusations against Myers on an old video that Myers had played that featured Gray and YouTuber Reluctant Prophet, who Myers is also prohibited from communicating with, that showed both men in Myers’ on screen chat room.
Myers presented the idea indirectly again in a conversation described by user BlueLineTransparency in the side chat of Gray’s second livestream on Thursday:

I got a message from Lane after I added him on gtl but it won’t let me respond. I think he confused me with somebody. Trying to figure out why it won’t let me message back

The false allegations- they claim reluctant prophet and phocion were chatting in my live stream last week! That’s false because their accounts are blocked. I actually showed an old video and it

showed the chat from 2 years ago. They are so dumb they can’t figure out YouTube. Then they claim I was RUDE to the judge, have a bad attitude towards public employees, and I was reference my case.

That’s from Lane today
Gray continued to deny that he has been in touch with Myers directly, stating that it’s been over a year since the two have communicated.
The Petition to Revoke Probation & Order was released on Arizona’s eAccess portal on Thursday. The document reveals that Myers will be brought before the Superior Court at 4:00PM local time (7PM Eastern time) by the Pima County Sheriff.
It shows no other reasoning or accusations against Myers, other than checking a box for “Is there a history of weapon use?” as NO and a box for “Is there a history of violence?” as YES.
