He was going anyway...Putting this guy in drug court is a waste of resources. If he wanted to quit drinking, he would have done it by now...Even in prison, he will just go through the motions in order to get his next drink. And, the prison will stick him in a room a couple hrs a day, and call it "treatment", to get him paroled faster...Guys like him are the last ones they want taking up resources...
@@brentfarvors192you obviously don't know the Texas prison system very well. I know a man that got 5 years for his third DWI. When he came up for parole, the parole board gave him what's called a "Serve All". That means he did the minimum of 2.5 years. It was 2.5 years because he earned one day of "good time" for every actual day served.
@@brentfarvors192 That's a given he was going anyway. I'm just amazed that defendants have attorneys but still insist on being stupid by opening their mouth.
No. The way his atty explained it, he would get probation contingent on being accepted in drug court. Which is how it typically goes. More than likely, they wouldn't accept him because its alcohol. And, this dude is will %100 buy a bottle the first chance he gets. Boyd knows that.
I started paying attention to what the bailiffs are doing since watching Judge Simpson. The bailiffs moved in quickly and quietly. They do their work in the shadows and in front of your face.
Why do people think that because they went to college, had something happen to them, were in the military, etc that somehow that will keep them from jail? I've seen that in a lot of these videos.
In the US the military is worshiped, it's a cultural and political thing. They do get special treatment and even have their own court system. Higher education can also help, because there is potential for those people to be contributing members of society that pay taxes. That's why you hear her ask people all time how far they went in school, and urging them to go to get degrees.
I understand people are saying, "Why could she have given him a chance?" I've seen the judge give numerous people chances, but it is clear that this guy wants to do what HE wants to do. Perhaps he needs to learn to stop 1) being indecisive and 2) LISTEN to the judge and stop trying to find an easy way out of situations he create
The sad thing is not that he got three years in prison by not allowing hus attorney to do talking in court. No, rather the sad thing is that most likely due to jail/prison overcrowding and time served, this habitual drunkard will ultimately not have to serve three full years incarcerated and upon his release, he will be free and unsupervised to repeat his drunk driving.
I'm gonna keep saying it Judge Boyd is the only Judge I see people thanking when she sends them to prison 😅😅 shows that she made them they understand consequences for their actions 👏👏👏👏
If im not mistaken, He didn’t take the deal of community supervision so all the provisions he would have to follow are now null and void, including suspension. He just has 3 years prison time and then will come home and go about his life as he wants, depending of course if he does straight time or is paroled out.
His lawyer was awful. Literally did nothing. Multiple dui offenders should not get probation anyway and should have long term parole type monitoring after prison
Why is everyone bashing the judge? This was a felony case and the plea the defendant originally agreed to was 3 years prison which is what she ended up giving him. He wanted things his way and that’s not how it works. The lawyer probably told him to not talk but he obv thinks he is slick with his “i went to college” etc.
Because she has no intention of rehabilitation for him. Admits the system is broken both because of prison overcrowding and no fair and due process with the drug felony court that was mentioned. She condones and accepts working with a broken system that has no interest in true justice but just the appearance of justice. If you complain she gets an attitude. She is a 🥷 sat at the slavers table. Doesn't get much lower than that. Hope that answers you.
His lawyer has done a shit job because he never talked to the guy once about his choices. He should have told him to shut up and let him work out the deal.
I agree! whether the client was in the right or wrong, the attorneys JOB is to advocate for his client! He should have at the bare minimum said to Judge Boyd, let me go over the options you just gave him briefly before he makes his decision. He stood there and did and said NOTHING!
@@kimzu7967 We don't know the history of these two. The fact the attorney didn't step forward could just as easily mean that he knew that nothing he could say would make a difference. The perp certainly looked like he wanted to control everything, even though he obviously didn't have a clue.
The attorney has to go over everything that they're about to do in court, that's why the judge asks them if he read it, understood it and signed it. Many defendants don't even listen to their lawyer so I don't blame the lawyer one bit
Well, that won't happen! He waived his rights to appeal because the judge followed his plea agreement with the state. His lawyer seemed rather exhausted with his shenanigans and was ready to be outta there - almost like they had a heated disagreement before his court appearance. Either ways, he should've just kept his mouth shut. DWI is no joke and this ain't his first rodeo.
@ I just find it funny how he thinks 10 hrs credit time served , is gonna affect his time he has to do for 4 years 😂 you’ll get out 10 hrs earlier 4 yrs from then 😂😂
Seems like the attorney could have stepped in and asked for a short adjournment to talk this over with his client. But as others suggested below, maybe he would have failed any kind of probation so better to take the jail time, and when he gets out he can start drinking again.
I don’t know, but to me that attorney did nothing to advocate for his client! Regardless if the client was in the right or wrong, it is the attorneys JOB to advocate for their clients! He should have at the bare minimum said.. let me go over my clients options with him!
@@grantc61 I never said the attorney had to throw himself under the bus for a client. What I said was at bare minimum He should’ve at least said to the judge give me a moment to speak to my client about the options you have given him, he said nothing that is not advocating for your client. Just my personal opinion.
Good luck collecting restitution from somebody you just sent to prison. The two-year suspended license is equally meaningless. Don't think he will need to drive for some time...
She did..."Drug court", is more of a "program", than a court...The longer you stay, the more liberty you receive when you follow the program...Many claim jail is better...
Instead of letting his attorney do the talking he talks himself into prison.
He was going anyway...Putting this guy in drug court is a waste of resources. If he wanted to quit drinking, he would have done it by now...Even in prison, he will just go through the motions in order to get his next drink.

You all are probably right, but I thought he was just asking about changing his mind later. To make sure he understood what his choices were.
He could have asked his attorney BEFORE speaking with the judge. He could have kept his mouth shut. He could have not driven drunk.
When judge Boyd said “so here’s the thing” the defense attorney knew this was not going to go well for his client.😂
Atty knew that before he walked into her court room...Informed his client of that fact, as well..."Best I can do is appeal it..."
His attorney had a smirk on his face the entire time. He knew what would happen if this guy spoke. Bravo to the judge and the guy's attorney.
2:10 “Felony drug court (closed until) end of January”. Bailiff begins moving: he know what’s coming 😂
He got the better deal. He would have failed all his conditions anyway.
I think so too. Already had 3 years given to him prior!
agreed.
Yup. I’ve seen people grab this crap out for years and years when they could have been done in a couple.
Good point. More people make this choice than you would imagine - they know they will just fail in probation.
@evmcelroy well the court doesn't help with the super stringent conditions. They set these guys up to fail.
"I have attended college...."
Dude has a manipulation script he probably uses for everything 🙄
He's got a degree in drunkenness...
The guys a bully who is used to getting his own way.
He didn’t like being told what to do.
Dang, this guy played himself. He was so certain he'd get straight probation, no treatment requirements, he'd not prepared himself for the decision.
No. The way his atty explained it, he would get probation contingent on being accepted in drug court. Which is how it typically goes. More than likely, they wouldn't accept him because its alcohol. And, this dude is will %100 buy a bottle the first chance he gets. Boyd knows that.
The privilege this guy has is insane!
To be fair, he probably would have violated his probation and ended up in there anyway
WTH??? This man just talked his way into 3 years in prison with his attorney standing right there! WOW
I'm trying to figure out what the lawyer is there for.... he's doing all the talking and his lawyer didn't warn him to stop talking or anything.
His lawyer has no control over stupid.
Had a P.D. didn't even review the case negotiated my case in my favor on my own😊
I started paying attention to what the bailiffs are doing since watching Judge Simpson. The bailiffs moved in quickly and quietly.
They do their work in the shadows and in front of your face.
Congratulations, you played yourself! 💯
At mark 5:00 - the defense attorney is totally defeated. The look on his face as he says, “Yes ma’am!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Why do people think that because they went to college, had something happen to them, were in the military, etc that somehow that will keep them from jail? I've seen that in a lot of these videos.
Because they're classist
In the US the military is worshiped, it's a cultural and political thing. They do get special treatment and even have their own court system. Higher education can also help, because there is potential for those people to be contributing members of society that pay taxes. That's why you hear her ask people all time how far they went in school, and urging them to go to get degrees.
Once you leave the military, you're no longer subject to the military courts -- barring being recalled to duty, which is incredibly unusual.
What do they say - better to remain silent and be supposed a fool than open your mouth and prove it...?
His lawyer could barely keep a straight face lol
I understand people are saying, "Why could she have given him a chance?" I've seen the judge give numerous people chances, but it is clear that this guy wants to do what HE wants to do. Perhaps he needs to learn to stop 1) being indecisive and 2) LISTEN to the judge and stop trying to find an easy way out of situations he create
and stop driving drunk and hurting people
And, remember that your lawyer told you to not talk!!!!
Damn sure he brought his own shovel to dig a hole for himself that quick
Should of talked to his lawyer
Should have listened.
The sad thing is not that he got three years in prison by not allowing hus attorney to do talking in court.
No, rather the sad thing is that most likely due to jail/prison overcrowding and time served, this habitual drunkard will ultimately not have to serve three full years incarcerated and upon his release, he will be free and unsupervised to repeat his drunk driving.
He actually seemed more at ease going to prison. Wtf!
I'm gonna keep saying it Judge Boyd is the only Judge I see people thanking when she sends them to prison 😅😅 shows that she made them they understand consequences for their actions 👏👏👏👏
You go Judge Stephanie!! ❤
What a fool 🙄
You have to admire his commitment to alcoholism.
Judge Boyd trying to save someone's life.
no, he made his own choice
Definitely a case of FAFO
Does the license suspension start after he does three years??
No.
If im not mistaken, He didn’t take the deal of community supervision so all the provisions he would have to follow are now null and void, including suspension. He just has 3 years prison time and then will come home and go about his life as he wants, depending of course if he does straight time or is paroled out.
I think (but not positive) the two year driving suspension starts upon release.
@@HRH242 No. Licence suspensions are not proactive. The time starts the day of the suspension. When he gets out, he can get his licence...
Smooth move you genius! LOL
Never ever should be issued a license again.
Don't play stupid games with judge.
All that for liquor smh😢
His lawyer was awful. Literally did nothing. Multiple dui offenders should not get probation anyway and should have long term parole type monitoring after prison

@@martinconneally8756you apparently don't have a understanding
You don't get three years for DWI unless you have many, many previous DWI convictions.
No! Too many dancers bullshit
His lawyer has done a shit job because he never talked to the guy once about his choices. He should have told him to shut up and let him work out the deal.
He probably told the guy his choices and advised him to shut up. I suspect this guy thought he knew best and thought he'd get his own way.
We don't know that the defense attorney did not tell him the possibilities. The defendant, as so many do, may not have listened.
I agree! whether the client was in the right or wrong, the attorneys JOB is to advocate for his client! He should have at the bare minimum said to Judge Boyd, let me go over the options you just gave him briefly before he makes his decision. He stood there and did and said NOTHING!

oh my god!!!
That guys lawyer sucks. He should have stepped in right away. That's his job , his personal feelings don't matter.
That’s one of the scariest thumbnails I’ve ever seen! I would not want to be on the receiving end of that look . He wants her UNDER the court.
Fire that lawyer
I know dudes like this- they aren’t the smartest- and prison doesn’t matter to them.
T lawyers face said I’ve had enough of this guy let it play where it falls
Arraignments, trials, lock-up, sobriety programs, parole… sounds like a great way to live.
... Baldy Boy just got Knicky Knacky Knoood 6:50
Cuffs went on quick.
Don’t play with Judge Boyd
Excellent.
This is the very definition of ineffective counsel. That lawyer should be ashamed of himself.
Not really. He does maybe two years and gets out with no restrictions. If he had taken the deal, he would be on conditions that he could not complete.
@@imilliemedina666does that sound like justice?
Why should the attorney be ashamed? The drunk wouldn't let the lawyer speak for him.
What crime did this guy do?
I think he could win an appeal. Clearly his attorney is an ineffective council.
Counsel. “Council” is something else.
Well, that won't happen! He waived his rights to appeal because the judge followed his plea agreement with the state. His lawyer seemed rather exhausted with his shenanigans and was ready to be outta there - almost like they had a heated disagreement before his court appearance. Either ways, he should've just kept his mouth shut. DWI is no joke and this ain't his first rodeo.
What a jerk
And yet another handbag!
Ow wow. Who dies that??
I hope he’s not paying that attorney…
“I’m gonna get the 10 hrs I was locked up right?”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 mannnnn
He knew...
@ I just find it funny how he thinks 10 hrs credit time served , is gonna affect his time he has to do for 4 years 😂 you’ll get out 10 hrs earlier 4 yrs from then 😂😂

Good luck collecting restitution from somebody you just sent to prison. The two-year suspended license is equally meaningless. Don't think he will need to drive for some time...
Terrible lawyer. Its apparent his client did not understand what the Judge was saying due to language barriers.
"Language barriers" -- bull.
@rcrawford42 #crymoar
evil judge !!!
😄😄😄😄😄
How much time did she give you?
She could've given him another chance to not go to prison
Why ?
@Ladywolf2263 sometimes you just need one more chance to make it real, like Elizabeth Wolfgramm once did
Can't be wasting the courts time
Twice she said to him - you have only 2 choices - then continued to try and negotiate a 3rd way.
She did..."Drug court", is more of a "program", than a court...The longer you stay, the more liberty you receive when you follow the program...Many claim jail is better...
Her little attitude gets worse and worse. When will her little power trip ever get checked. Fun to watch, but she's too much.
The look on his lawyers face. You can tell he is over it.
Stupid is as stupid does
Appeal. She only has about 80% of her "decisions" upheld.
Yeah, sure.
