Judge Raquel West ENDS Probation — “You Wasted Every Chance

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: good morning are you braxton hughes and this is 25 dccr 1124 mr hughes was previously in court entered a plea of guilty to burglary of the habitation uh the agreement was for a cap of four years in prison i've received the pre-sentence report has everyone had an opportunity to review [00:00:18] Speaker 2: that report we have your honor are there any additions or corrections obviously uh i'm aware of some of his criminal history others not quite so much um i would think that the floor would probably be on the low end in your opinion but i defer to whatever you think is okay thank you [00:00:38] Speaker 3: mr uh parker you may proceed right i mean this is i talked to him and i've heard some stories in my life but i feel that he's telling the truth not that it's a defense but he was getting they were getting pulled over he had some other guys in the car there was drugs in the car they took the drugs he leaves and goes to a house that he used to know the person that lived there he walks in gets him something to drink and has a thermos or something like that and then turned around and she stared stayed in there he obviously scared her and you know and didn't know it and wasn't it the it wasn't the person he knew that lived there and and he said call the cops and he walked outside and sat down and waited for the cop to show up and that i mean that's that's what happened it's not like he was going in there you know to try to injure her i don't think he just he walked in the wrong house and he did take the thermos or mug and it's as simple as that i think he liked to talk to the court judge and we're asking the probation judge all right go ahead uh mr heaps um your honor what he said is [00:01:48] Speaker 4: it's correct you know uh i can't say anything else i was doing drugs uh about a year and a half uh and i but i i was like a lightweight i took the drugs and was uh not really acting like myself and i went knocked on the door and went in there i was trying to get away from the people i was with and uh but long story short after this event uh i did sober up uh started going back to church with my mom uh you know i started i was in for treatment at uh the right step i tried to get into treatment there i was doing the paperwork uh trying to get help but i was sober for a couple months out there on the streets and uh you know i'm not really not really like typical druggie type you know i don't i don't go around commit crimes or something like that you know uh your criminal [00:02:47] Speaker 1: history would say otherwise this has been a long time i understand but be careful how you word things because you've been a criminal since 2002 you've got one two three four misdemeanors you've got one two three four five felonies um many more that were you were arrested for and obviously doing some things that you kind of got either rejected or dismissed because of pleas on other stuff so i understand that some of those were a long time ago but it's still not a pretty picture [00:03:27] Speaker 4: i understand that um you know uh most of my previous crimes and stuff they were behind uh addiction and stuff uh but you know life's a journey and i haven't you know i i'm still was battling with addiction but not committing crimes you know so that's uh this i know with i uh with the standing here in front of you you know in charge of the crime i could understand you know how the time yeah i mean and [00:04:04] Speaker 1: that's at what point do you go get that help before you commit a crime you know i do appreciate your [00:04:15] Speaker 2: what you've done since the offense miss smolpino judge i would uh definitely agree that this is an odd fact pattern very odd um i feel sorry for the situation that he's in with his addiction but i feel more sorry for the young lady who was scared out of her mind when he was in her house acting probably like a complete psychotic you know with tinfoil on his head so um i i don't know that probation at this juncture is just would be a viable option judge or a good thing for the community back or to whatever you [00:04:47] Speaker 1: if your if your history had one of the things that is sticking out is that every probation you've ever gotten has been revoked so you've never been successful on probation and so the last one that i see was the federal [00:05:32] Speaker 4: sentence where your supervised release got revoked i i did get uh replication but i got back out on probation and completed it [00:05:44] Speaker 1: okay at this time um mr hughes i'm going to find that you entered your plea of guilty freely and voluntarily find um sufficient evidence to find you guilty and at this time find you guilty of burglary of habitation sentence you to a term of four years in the institutional division of the texas department of corrections you will receive credit on that sentence for any time that you've been in custody that the law gives you the right to receive i'm going to hand you the trial court certification that shows this was an agreement that i followed and so you've made your right to appeal i have also handed you a written admonishment regarding your ineligibility to possess a firearm or ammunition because of the judgment entered against you you're ineligible under texas law to possess a firearm or ammunition possession of a firearm or ammunition could lead to charges against you firearm is a legal term and you should read the written admonishment i provide you to see what devices qualify as a firearm if you have questions about the laws that make you ineligible to possess a firearm or ammunition or about how long that lasts you can talk with mr parker all right you can go back with the bailiff and this is miss malfino i don't come good morning are you kashawn uh purdy and miss purdy is on probation and cause number 24 dccr one two seven two for the state jail felony offense of an authorized use of a vehicle and there's a new indictment in cause number 25 dccr one five two three charged with injury to a child elderly or disabled individual mr kimler has filed a motion asking for a bond in that um unauthorized use case that has the motion in it mr kimler you may proceed [00:07:26] Speaker 5: your honor i think she's on the third upper view uh a little bit i haven't actually gotten discovery on the new case yet but i don't know if you've seen some photographs that were taken by the defendant's standing injuries i don't want to downplay it but it appears to be sort of the minimalist type of injury and stuff and i'll defer to mr hopper we have a different opinion i know we're simply asking for a bond on the underlying motion to promote probation to allow time to prepare to defend the injury to [00:07:53] Speaker 1: a child i can't hold on y'all i'm having a hard time so if you're talking about a case for some reason i'm having a hard time i've got a cold and my ears are stuffy y'all need to step in the back if you're not talking about a case i need you to to really be quiet speak up please [00:08:10] Speaker 5: and additionally she is pregnant i think that i did receive a write-up uh from that was emailed coming from the jail and the best of my understanding it appears she was wearing i guess a blue wristband to indicate that she's pregnant there was some a little misunderstanding on the part of the the jailer as to whether some other female inmate had given her an arrest ban evidently they get extra rations or extra portions of food and their vitamins and stuff if they're pregnant but it appears from the write-up that she actually is pregnant so i don't know that it was a disciplinary write-up or what the purpose of the write-up is but she certainly other than that hasn't had any problems to my knowledge all right you want to put on some [00:08:53] Speaker 1: evidence with regard to her ability to pay would you raise your right hand the best you can you swear affirm the testimony you're going to give in this hearing will be the truth the whole truth [00:09:01] Speaker 5: and nothing but the truth thank you this part of the judge wants to know the ability to pay a bond to actually put the funds necessary to pay a bond when you get out of jail what's your financial [00:09:12] Speaker 2: situation um how much do you have available now to pay up bonds but as far as money that's put aside [00:09:31] Speaker 5: to pay a bonding fee to get out like 500 600 okay and then hopefully after that you get your job and we'll be able to work yes sir yes do you have any savings or checking money in the bank anything like that no sir do you own your own uh residence your own home do you own your own rent yes you rent do you own any vehicles no sir um what about any other thing of value that you might own anything [00:10:03] Speaker 1: i need to know how many children do you have i have two and one and where do they live with you yes ma'am so if you make bond where are you going to be living and with who [00:10:16] Speaker 2: at my home who lives at your home me my two kids my fiance did uh child protective service get involved in this yes ma'am they closed the case and i was also taking um anger management and uh [00:10:31] Speaker 1: parents of glass also but through cps yes ma'am but you didn't finish those because you got incarcerated okay what's your relationship with kamari it's my oldest i talk to him every day she tell me every day say i don't care yeah just asking the question because because you're not going to be allowed to be around them if you may bond so we got it you got to figure something else out until i figure out what's going on with your case so that's going to be um who are they with now okay so if you make a bond then they're going to have to remain there you're not going to be able to have unsupervised contact with them until further order of the court do you understand that would be a condition of your bond okay mr hothpower what's the state's position judge [00:11:27] Speaker 6: well that was that was our concern is the new offense uh would i disagree whether or not it was [00:11:32] Speaker 1: the minimums or felony court well and for this for the record i am reviewing the probable cause um in that case just to get a little bit of information on what the allegations are [00:11:42] Speaker 6: i was talking about photograph so what else uh simply judge this is on felony appropriation then commits a allegedly commits a valid we'll leave to the court's discretion [00:12:02] Speaker 1: all right so i'm going to grant the motion to set a bond and cause number 24 dccr1272 i'm going to set that bond at thirty thousand dollars a condition of that bond is that you have no unsupervised contact with any children including your own um and that you complete uh whatever cps is requesting that you do so if they started classes you need to continue with those and whatever they um request of you do you understand all right all right you can go back with the bailiff do it on a different day yeah okay you're michelle cormier yes and will your client wave the formal reading of the indictment in each case yes miss cormier and clause number 25 dccr1446 let's see are we going on the with the prior or just the um okay let me you're charged hold on you're charged with manslaughter from november 2nd of 2024 it's a second degree felony the indictment alleges you were previously convicted of burglary of habitation a second degree felony january 30th of 2013 and how do you plead to that charge and are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily yes and because you did what they charged you with yes ma'am and is that prior conviction true [00:13:42] Speaker ?: okay [00:14:01] Speaker 1: sorry it takes me a minute to get it pulled up and cause number 25 dccr1447 you're charged with possession of a controlled substance a state jail felony from october 30th of 2024. the indictment alleges you were previously convicted of possession of a controlled substance a state jail felony january 30th of 2013 uh in two different cases are three different cases on that date and what that means in that case is uh that would be enhanced to a third degree felony do you understand and how do you plead to that charge and are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily yes and are you pleading guilty because you did what they charged you with yes and are those prior offenses true yes ma'am in each of those cases i have here on the tablet some documents that have your signature on them that the state has marked as exhibit number one before you sign these did you go over them with mr radford yes ma'am do you fully understand them yes and so there's no agreement uh correct in either of the cases so you i want to make sure you understand that you have an absolute right to have a jury come in and determine two things the first is to determine if you're guilty or not and then if they find you guilty in the case you could leave your punishment up to that jury if we go forward this way you're leaving your punishment up to the court and is that what you want to do yes state tenders number one in each case no objections it's admitted in each case is there any evidence that miss cormier is not competent no ma'am all right ma'am in each of your cases i'm going to find that you entered your pleas of guilty freely and voluntarily find that you're mentally competent and you understand the nature and the consequences of those pleas find sufficient evidence in each case to find you guilty however i'm going to reset your case for a sentencing hearing uh we'll get a pre-sentence report done and then we'll come back for that hearing anything that you think is important for me to know get that information to mr radford and he will present it to me on your behalf when we come back we're going to have we're [00:16:07] Speaker 7: going to have some letters that i will submit to the court to supplement the psi and i will copy mr [00:16:13] Speaker 1: coleman on the support letter okay sounds good and if you'll just try to get those um to the court that week before um uh the hearing that would be great all right thank you you can go back with the bailiff yes sir thank you all right you are kadasha um eli and miss eli was previously in court uh entered pleas of true to a motion to revoke probation on probation for injury to a child elderly or disabled individual entered pleas of trade accounts one through eight i've received an updated report has everyone had an opportunity to review that report yeah are there any additions or corrections all right thank you miss lopez mr and there was not an agreement correct [00:17:04] Speaker 8: mr lewis you may proceed well judge miss eli uh like i said was previously placed on probation out of this court um early on during her probationary period it seems she'd be doing really well doing well or maybe to comply with the terms of probation um during that time of course she's had sort of having personal setbacks as far as her living situation before the way she would live of that nature at some point she did talk probation about that before was trying to get some help with that um and it seemed to be working out well even again to i think she was living with your mother grandmother and it seemed to try to get back on track but at some point that situation didn't work out for her either and that's when things started to really go downhill fast as far as the not reporting and things of that nature and uh kent stove all gone um since she's been in custody she has been able to um secure a more stable living situation of course with her brother um that will be available to her if the just if the court decides to reinstate her also employment she has uh some uh employment options that's available to her as well that i think that's the main problem or issue was stability and uh i think since during this time while she was already she was already searching for uh these these options judge but they unfortunately by the time they became available to her they were she was in custody now when i talk about the situation with her brother for the living situation that's also one of the job situations as well her brother works with zumo sausages the zumo company and she asked to work there for a temporary period of time a while back early on um and that job uh pulled apart but um looks like this will be open again for her to go back so that's that's you know since it would come down to just she's asking now that she's stable to try to see if she can have the opportunity to get out there and complete complete the probation like she initially tried to and wanted to what's the status what's the status of the theft in orange the new offense of course of course we know the situation in orange there hasn't been a court date or anything up there uh so it's still in limbo you know but it's okay [00:19:45] Speaker 1: miss molfino [00:19:49] Speaker 2: judge i think it's fortunate that we're not here on a violation that involves a child based on the underlying nature of this probation i also think it's unfortunate that she doesn't have any felony offenses was given this many opportunities and as this court is well aware a very good officer to work with ms lopez and has she has not done what she has been required by this court to do so i would stand with ms lopez's recommendation and defer to any other problem that she might have [00:20:18] Speaker 1: so miss miss eli the issue that the problem that i have is that when you first got on your probation we sent you to the cognitive track of isf so that you could get tools to be able to be successful um and do better and make it through probation and when you got out of isf you were put on the high medium caseload so that you would have help with all of these issues that mr lewis is talking about help with places to live and with jobs and it's just it's you were given all of that and so for me to say okay you've already been given all that and you didn't take advantage of it to give you some other opportunity and just let you out when i've already given you these sanctions and this the underlying case is just very very serious and the fact that you got a probation is was was a big chance and if you if you hadn't already been to isf then maybe i'd be thinking about okay let's do isf or let's do something to give you some tools to do better but we did that and you didn't take advantage of it so at this time i'm going to find that you entered your please of true to counts one through eight freely and voluntarily find those counts true find sufficient evidence at this time to find you guilty and at this time finds you guilty of the offensive injury to a child sentence you to a term of four years in the institutional division of the texas department of corrections you will receive credit on that sentence for any time that you've been in custody that the law gives you the right to receive this is not a plea agreement and so you do have some rights to appeal you can talk to mr lewis about that i'm handing you the trial court certification it shows you do have that right to appeal i need your signature on that and i'll get you a copy of it i'm also handing you a written admonishment regarding your ineligibility to possess a firearm or ammunition because of the judgment entered against you you're ineligible under texas law to possess a firearm or ammunition possession of a firearm or ammunition could lead to charges against you firearm is a legal term and you should read the written admonishment i provided you to see what devices qualify as a firearm if you have questions about the laws that make you ineligible to possess a firearm or ammunition or about how long that lasts you can talk with mr lewis all right you can sign [00:22:37] Speaker 9: that and y'all can take the bottom two copies it opened the wrong one in the background that's why [00:22:46] Speaker 1: good morning are you isaiah brown will your client wave the formal reading of the indictment mr hoff power this is yours on isaiah brown it's not okay so it's a reduction to state jail okay mr brown in cause number 25 dccr 0356 the state has elected to proceed on the lesser offense of a state jail felony abandoning or endangering a child with intent to return from february 9th of 2025 and how do you plead to that charge speak up are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily and are you pleading guilty because you did what they charged you with i have here on the tablet some documents that have your signature on them that the state has marked as exhibit number one before you signed these did you go over them with miss holmes do you fully understand them answer out loud yes ma'am and do you understand if i follow the agreement that you've made with the district attorney that you will be waiving or giving up any right to appeal and it looks like the agreement that you've reached is for a three-year deferred probation there would be a three hundred dollar fine and you would be required to follow all of the rules and conditions or probation is that your understanding do you also understand if you're not a u.s citizen that a plea of guilty or no contest may result in your deportation exclusion from admission to the country or denial of naturalization or law state tenors number one it's admitted is there any evidence that mr brown is not competent no you're all right sir i'm going to find that you entered your plea of guilty freely and voluntarily find that you're mentally competent and you understand the nature and the consequences of your plea find sufficient evidence to find you guilty however i'm going to reset your case so that we can get a pre-sentence report done um by probation then we'll come back at a later date for sentencing mr hofpower what is the state's position with regard to a bond based on the nature of this plea we have no position what is the um what's the relationship to uh kinsley segura [00:25:42] Speaker 6: what's the child this is that's your got your daughter no he's not with the mother i'm sorry [00:25:50] Speaker 10: custody i'm not sure what do you have any kind of no she she blocked me when she had my baby so i'm not [00:26:00] Speaker 1: on the birth certificate i'm not a manager so until anything happens legally with that you cannot have any contact with your child you understand yes okay so what i'm going to do based on the nature of this plea agreement between now and sentencing is reduce your bond in your case to one thousand dollars if you make that bond it's very important that the first thing you do is go to the probation department so they can start that pre-sentence report okay also a condition of that bond is that you have no contact with um kinsley segura okay um and then we'll see you back at sentencing all right you can go back with the bailiff there should be a second [00:26:42] Speaker 7: no i'm on the first minute you know that second minute he ended when it was filed i could print out a copy [00:26:54] Speaker 9: uh it looks like august 27th so it should be the one that you have but let me print it just to um [00:27:11] Speaker 1: good morning are you leonard guillery and um so mr guillery let's start with cause number 25 is it printing hold on i can't yeah there it goes all right and cause number 25 dccr 0902 you're charged with aggravated assault with the deadly weapon from june 19th of 2025. the indictment alleges that you were previously convicted of a felony offense which means for punishment purposes if you were found guilty you would be considered a first degree enhanced uh and the minimum punishment would be 15 years up to 99 years or life in prison do you understand and i have a plea bargain rejection here on the tablet that you signed with mr lewis that shows that the district attorney's office has made an offer if you wanted to enter a plea of guilty for a 10-year term in prison that would run at the same time as a 10-year term in that motion to revoke your probation case you have every right to reject this offer and have this case set for trial i do want to make sure you understand what the possible consequences are and what your options are and do you want to reject that offer and have that case set for trial so what we're going to do now mr guillery is go through that motion i'm going to get pleased of true or not true on that motion and then we'll have a hearing on that motion first at a later date i'll make a decision on that motion and then we can go forward with your trial after that okay so will he waive the formal reading of the motion in clause number 22-40982 i have a second amended motion to revoke your unadjudicated probation shows that you were placed on probation uh june 26th of 2024 for unlawful possession of a firearm by felon a third degree felony and that was a seven-year deferred probation is that correct speak up please thank you and it alleges that you violated your probation count one alleges that you committed the offense of burglary of a vehicle june 8th of 2025 in harden county texas and is that true or not true i'm sorry not true okay count two alleges that you failed to immediately report um the arrest from june 8th 2025 to your probation officer is that true or not true not true count three alleges that you failed to provide verification of performing the community service hours is required and is that true or not true not true count four alleges that you failed to provide verification of participating in an education program for your ged is that true or not true count five alleges that you failed to provide verification of entering and successfully completing the moral recognition therapy the mrt program count six alleges that you failed to pay your court assessed fees as directed and as of june 16th 2025 you were 1140 behind is that true or not true true and then it says second amended but it never said first amended so i think it's probably what we were all thinking it was anyway count seven alleges that you committed the offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon june 19th of 2025 and is that true or not true not true count eight alleges that you committed the offense of evading arrest or detention with the use of a vehicle june 19th of 2025 is that true or not true count nine alleges that you possessed a firearm on june 19th of 2025 in violation of your deferred adjudication order is that true or not true all right so did you enter your plea of true to count six freely and voluntarily all right then i'm going to find that count true find um sufficient evidence to find you guilty and revoke your probation i'm not going to do that today i'll reset it for a hearing and ask the probation department to do an updated report uh mr coleman does the state anticipate witnesses with regard to those prior the offenses that are alleged so we'll set it on um a date when we're not in trial not a docket date so that we have time to have that hearing all right uh you can go back with the bailiff good morning are you deshawn is it vital or vital vital vital um and mr lewis will your client with a formal reading of the indictment in each case mr vital in cause number 25 dccr 1107 you're charged with the first degree felony offense of aggravated robbery from july 10th of 2025 and how do you plead to that charge are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily and are you pleading guilty because you actually did what they charged you with in both of those cases i have here on the tablet some documents that have your signature on them that the state has marked as exhibit number one before you sign these did you go over them with mr rey and then in cause number 25 dccr 1109 you're also charged with a first degree felony offense of aggravated robbery from july 10th of 2025 and how do you plead in that charge and are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily and how do you plead in that case did you go over them with mr lewis do you fully understand them and do you understand if i follow the agreements that you've made with the district attorney that you'll be waiving or giving up any right to appeal and it looks like the agreement is for a 10-year deferred probation that isf would be ordered um so when is your 18th birthday okay so um so it'll be less than that at sentencing so we'll do up front time until your birthday and then you would go to isf is that your understanding do you also understand if you're not a u.s citizen that a plea of guilty or no contest may result in your deportation exclusion from admission to the country or denial of naturalization under federal law state tenors number one okay it's admitted is there any evidence that mr vital is not competent all right sir i'm going to find that you entered your pleas of guilty in each of your cases freely and voluntarily find that you're mentally competent and you understand the nature and the consequences of your pleas find sufficient evidence to find you guilty however i'm going to reset your cases for sentencing so that the probation department can do a pre-sentence report that'll give me more information about you and your case and then we'll come back later for sentencing so are you at um minnie rogers or at the jail judge can i address something yeah um obviously mr vital vital has been [00:34:10] Speaker 11: in custody for several months he's going to continue to be in custody for several more months while he's in the jefferson county correctional he's mentioned multiple times in reports typically he's a victim of other people's behavior there's some there are a couple instances where he's doing things yeah it's not it's not the it's not the worst of the worst it's not my concern i just wanted to explain to him that it's it's important and the last note i saw was that he'd been moved out of a dorm where he was being victimized yeah and bullied yeah i want him to be successful i want him to understand those reports can change what what gets reported between now and sentencing can change what [00:34:45] Speaker 1: happens sure thank you mr nichols and i was going to address that and you may have heard out there already um that incident reports at the jail uh don't go over very well with me um i do understand there's been some things going on that weren't you're doing and so you just keep doing what you need to do to keep your head down to make it until we get to sentencing so that you can be successful you're doing the right thing if we end up with some reports and you change your behavior which i don't see any reason to you've been doing pretty well and it sounds like there's the jail has taken notice of of what's going on and where you need to be but just continue doing what you're doing so that when we get back here in a few weeks for sentencing i don't have any issues and mr nichols doesn't have any issues to look at with regard to jail incident reports okay all right you can go back with the bailiff thank you formal reading of the indictment mr broussard in cause number 25 dccr 1442 you're charged with the second degree felony offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon from july 27th of 2025 and how do you plead to that charge are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily yes and are you pleading guilty because you did what they've charged you with yes i have here on the tablet some documents that have your signature on them that the states marked as exhibit number one before you signed these did you go over them with miss hollings do you fully understand that yes and do you understand if i follow the agreement that you've made with the district attorney that you'll be waving or giving up any right to appeal yes and it looks like the agreement that you've reached just for a five-year deferred probation there would be a 500 fine you would be required to follow all of the rules and conditions of probation is that your understanding yes do you also understand if you're not a u.s citizen that a plea of guilty or no contest may result in your deportation exclusion from admission to the country or denial of naturalization under federal law yes state tenders number one no objection we've got it's admitted i know back up is the um is there any evidence that mr broussard is not competent you need one all right mr broussard i'm going to find that you entered your plea of guilty freely and voluntarily find that you're mentally competent and you understand the nature and the consequences of your plea find sufficient evidence to find you guilty however i'm going to reset your case so that the probation department can do a pre-sentence report that'll give me more information about you and your case and then we'll come back later for sentencing mr nichols what is the state's position with regard to bond a reduction based on the nature of that plea agreement your honor he has a prior [00:37:34] Speaker 11: successfully completed probation for deadly conduct the situation involves an in-home argument with his adult sister where he shoved her and brandished a machete my concern would be if he was released where [00:37:49] Speaker 1: would he be uh awaiting sentencing mr um broussard uh when you are released whether it's on a bond or [00:37:56] Speaker 12: or when you get this probation where will you be living um 49 48 longville and who lives there my mother who else uh there's two other couples there's lindsey's daughter my niece and her boyfriend [00:38:14] Speaker 1: and another couple okay where does lindsey live lindsey lives at the light day of to leave a bend so you understand that you're not going to be able to have contact with lindsey so if there's some family get together at the house where you're living you're going to have [00:38:33] Speaker 11: to leave if she comes over i do have that address as her address in my file i'm not saying she doesn't live at the lake or whatever okay and i'll let the court know she called yesterday spoke with my investigator one of them drop charges but because of the evidence in this case i think i can prove it regardless that's why we reached an agreement this morning okay so what i'm going to do mr broussard [00:38:52] Speaker 1: based on the nature of your plea agreement is reduce your bond pending uh sentencing to one thousand dollars if you make that bond there's some very important conditions first the very first thing you do when you're released is go to the probation department so they can get that precedence report done if you don't do that you run the risk of not accepting the plea agreement the second thing is that you're to have no contact or communication uh with lindsey gaspard so if she is living there you're going to have to find another place to live you're going to have to figure that out okay um if i find out that you're having any contact or communication or she contacts the da's office and lets them know that then you run the risk of me not accepting the plea agreement all right okay you can go back with the bailiff thank you thank you all right uh again you're jacoby fraser yes ma'am so miss fraser mr fraser i gave you an opportunity to visit with miss holmes um about your case you had already entered a plea of guilty uh before and we had come back for sentencing and then i wanted you to visit with that doctor to make sure that you understood everything and so do you want me to go forward with your sentencing today and give you that probation that y'all talked about any issues mr coleman so mr fraser i'm going to uh follow the agreement that you made uh previously with the district attorney find that you uh entered your plea freely and voluntarily again find that you are mentally competent sentence you in accordance with that agreement i'm going to defer all proceedings for a period of four years you will be ordered to pay a 500 fine and you're going to be ordered to follow all of the rules and conditions of probation part of those conditions are that you uh follow through with any treatment for mental health care through spindle top so if there's classes or counseling or medication whatever it is that's now not just part of what you probably need to do but it's part of your probation you understand so if you don't go to your appointments at spindle top and you don't take your medicine like you're supposed to then it could end up with your probation getting revoked and you could go to prison for up to 10 years do you understand so it's very important that you do everything your probation officer tells you okay so i'm going to hand you uh the trial court certification that shows this was an agreement that i followed and so you've waived your right to appeal um obviously you need to be on the mental health caseload as well um yeah it was already done and so uh you'll be released from jail today it's very important that the first thing you do is go to the probation department the probation officer is going to talk to you today here in court she's going to tell you where you need to go and you need to make sure you try to get there today okay i will okay good luck you can go back [00:41:41] Speaker 10: with the bailiff when i have to take work where the probation she's going to give it all to you she's going to give it to you you'll have everything in writing thank you thank you yes sir you're [00:41:53] Speaker 1: welcome happy holidays god bless uh before and we had come back for sentencing and then i wanted you [00:41:59] Speaker 2: to visit with that doctor to make sure that you understood everything and so do you want me to go [00:42:04] Speaker 1: forward with your sentencing today and give you that probation that y'all talked about addiction [00:42:08] Speaker 2: recovery uh and a request for probation would convince the court so mr frazier i'm going to to uh follow the agreement that you made uh previously with the district attorney rather than criminal intent the defendant described his efforts to get sober freely and voluntarily again find that [00:42:24] Speaker 1: you are mentally competent but the judge carefully reviewed his lengthy criminal history i'm going to defer all proceedings for a period of four years you will be ordered to pay a 500 fine and you're [00:42:37] Speaker 2: going to be ordered to follow all of the rules and conditions of probation part of those conditions including that probation had already been tried and repeatedly failed with any treatment for mental [00:42:47] Speaker 1: health care through spindle top so if the hearing ended with a powerful reminder or counseling or medication whatever it is that's now not just part of what you probably need to do but it's part of to your probation, you understand?
