I'm sorry folks but WHY do girls ALWAYS WORRY about what another girl is wearing???? Did you look at her shoes also???? Really really PATHETIC... just saying 😱🤔🤨🫤
I strongly disagree. I don't think victim-impact statements belong in court at all. If the victims have pertinent facts, they should present them from the witness box under oath, and should be subject to cross examination. The Constitution says the accused has a right to confront the witnesses against him.
I actually think she is sorry. DUI is a horrid thing to do and needs to stop. But consider this; she is on a 10 year order, lost her license, she is now a convicted felon for life which excludes her from many things. Not sure prison would truly help TBH. I do feel that restitu.tion should be set higher. She should be made to pay a monthly sum for life to help the victim. Here in the UK we have the criminal compensation scheme. If you are a victim of a crime you can get a payout off the state for criminal injuries and the state gets it back off the perp. This way you are not relient on the perp who may not pay, you get your money and the state chase them
She totally did !!! and her defence attorney needs to retire he is clearly unwell and should look after his own welfare now. The defendant was entitled and all about herself she showed zero remorse for what she did to the driver of the other car she devastated his life and she didn’t care. Jail was were she belonged!!
That was not an option presented to her. Judges rarely rule outside of established plea deals, because is undermines the trust in the attorneys and the proceedings of the court.
I agree. No excuse, #1 for drinking and driving. Someone suffered physically because of her negligence, and probably will again, because she will still drink and drive. No excuses for her. In jail she won’t be drinking and driving where she can do harm to someone else.
That’s the courts issue not hers. They allow it. She should be in jail until her court date she could have killed to ppl. But her rights deserve higher acknowledgment than the victims.
That poor man got a life sentence, and she basically got a get out of jail card. 😕 I hope she breaks her parole and goes to jail. She was only apologetic at the very last time for her sentencing. I don't believe she meant it. Judges skulls look at the social media of these felons...
Agree, she's probably gonna dance right out of that courtroom when she finds out that she got probation, I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. The judge was too soft on her. I had a friend hit by drunk driver. And he has permanent brain damage and the guy got basically a slap on the wrist for it.
Why? That's literally what every Christian does. Hell, there's never been an organization that's abused more children than the church. This is typical "Christian" behavior.
My mother was killed by a drunk driver who had 3 drunk driving offenses. My mother never saw my children graduate get married or see her great grandchildren. The loss is more than people can imagine.
We lost two families members to a drunk driver who literally mowed them down as they walked along together. In court he said it was their fault for being out at night (I kid you not) he was three times over the limit. He got two years. Turned out he’d done it before. Not killed but badly injured someone when drunk driving so he knew that there was a potential consequence. Someone tell me why they are allowed to drive ever again. And tell me why wiping out two lives are only worth two years of which he’ll have served at most 18 months.
A lot of people live double lives. The one is reality and the other is social media. It’s why I personally only have YT as “social media”. I give the biggest eye rolls and side eyes at people I know irl from what they post on FB etc (I looks at my hubbys when he’s on there scanning updates from friends lol)
It’s like she’s two separate people. One is the party girl in silky dresses, provocatively posing all over the place, showing her ankle monitor like it’s a badge of honor, going to bars and such, spending a lot of money. The other is a mom who has no money and can’t pay her fees who blatantly chose to drive drunk more than once, lied to a judge over and over about drinking, saying she is a Christian and never drinks and wouldn’t ever lie about it, and it must be Lysol or some other chemical giving her a bad reading. She had tears while one of the victims spoke to her about how he’s doing after surgeries, learning to walk again, possibly loosing his leg, and the hatred and anguish he feels everyday for what she did to him and his son. He’s broken and traumatized by her choice. Every time she lied to Judge Boyd, she knew she had gone and gotten drunk and drove home, hitting the victims. But she was out partying again and again with more and more lies to everyone’s faces. I’m so angry that she got away with this for so long, walking out of court with a smile on her face. It’s not the Judges fault. The Judicial System has to be redone from the bottom up. SHE SHOULD BE IN JAIL, not on Probation. I pray the victims heal and find a balance in their life where they have lives again. I hope the trauma subsides and their fears become manageable. 🌹✨🕊🙏🏼🫂🕯🔆♥️
How dare Judge not sentence her to jail. It's so ridiculous to give more consideration for the drunk driver than the rest of us who are forced to risk driving amongst them.
@rachelr.n.3563 I guess when one has a family member who killed another family member driving drunk they ask themselves..who matters more..the one sitting in an overcrowded cell for a little while or the one who is dead because of them. Of course, previous judges thought enough probation finger waggings would do the trick and save on the cost of incarceration. I mean, until someone is killed by shooting a gun in a crowd, essentially what driving drunk is, what's the big deal to keep shooting when one knows the threats of jail are empty as long as the jails are crowded.
@@Lomojo31 Unfortunately, I'm not the judge! I don't agree with what she did. Maybe people should stop being Shi++y human beings and we wouldn't have these problems!
She had the AUDACITY to interrupt his impact statement by saying she has dreams when he explained the nightmares he has hitting the brakes in his sleep. It's ALL about her. This chick will never make it 10 years on probation. She's too much of a narrcissist. She deserved jail time! I'm extremely frustrated with this one terribly!
I’d just like to say, I was put up for adoption at the age of 3. I was physically abused at the orphanage. I was sent to several foster homes and was sexually abused at one of the. I was adopted by an abusive alcoholic at the age of 5. I was sexually assaulted by a neighbour and by an uncle that started at age 10 and ended when I was 16. I finally told my second stepmother (first stepmother died when I was 9) about the abuse and she told me it was my fault and called me a slut. After all this I have never driven while intoxicated and I have never committed a crime. I got married and had 2 kids and after 38 years I’m still happily married. I hate people that use their past as an excuse.
Agreed. I am so tired of all these criminals using their childhood trauma as an excuse. I know way too many people like you, and like myself, who went through horrendous trauma and abuse and managed to live crime free lives. In my opinion, I had the perfect example of what not to do. I also was called a slut and told to go f myself when I was 9 years old. I wanted to prove to the world I was not a slut. When I was pregnant with my son, my first thought was that I didn't want him to grow up on welfare like I did. So I went to beauty college while I was pregnant. I passed my state board exam when he was 2 weeks old. I ended up not loving the profession, so I went to college full time at night while I worked full time during the day to get a degree in business. I did the opposite of what was done to me. I did not spank because that could lead to physical abuse. I tried not to ever yell, but have to admit that I do have a snapping point when I get pushed too far, so I did yell a handful of times. I never tried hard drugs because I knew the only way to guarantee I wouldn't end up addicted to drugs like my mother was to never try them. I think I did OK because my son just got his PhD in Bioengineering from U-Penn, and landed a 6 figure job. He has zero debt, not even a car pqyment, and he will never have to struggle financially like I did as a single parent my whole life. The fact that he absolutely loves his work is icing on the cake. I feel like my life mission is complete. I broke the cycle of welfare, drugs, trauma, abuse, and neglect.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I was raised by mom who never said much and an alcoholic father, that was an anger drunk! Punch me till I passed out for about 12 years! Now happily married with two kids, God Bless you for being stronger than your abuser!
Absolutely agree with your comment. I don't care about her past. She made bad choices and now. She's just getting probation what a joke the judge was too soft.
I worked as a server and a bartender in Texas. In order to serve alcohol you have to take a week long class and pass all tests with at least a 90%. TABC laws are no joke. The main point of these classes is to understand that you, as the server, are personally responsible for over serving. I hope the victim, in this case, sues the hell out of that server.
Back in the day, a coworker of mine was co-owner of a bar. When Breathalyzers became available, he and his partner installed a coin operated on in the bar, so that their patrons could check if they were legal to drive. Not long after, even though the machine was making them a TON of money, their consciences forced them to remove it. Problem was, their patrons were competing for high score. That is not a joke. Here in NYS laws on overserving bar patrons are honored more in the breach than the observance. Generally if you're not causing a disturbance, they will keep pouring you drinks.
That victim impact statement… Legit brought me to tears. The straight physical suffering, the mental health anguish, and the financial ruin. My soul literally got ripped out. Sir, may you find peace and healing ❤
I have not heard anything from her as far as the victims. It's always my kids my job....this nasty rag doesn't care about anything but herself and her social calendar. There is NO true remorse from her. She will be back behind the wheel under the influence onces she's done and completed the courts terms. I am shocked Judge Boyd let her get away with so much. And she is making sure to make it appear she makes little just so she can get off easier and any payments to victims
I usually like Judge Boyd. She seemed to be tough on defendants that don’t follow rules- however this one I’m disappointed in. She should have revoked her bond the first time she violated!!
Nah, this outcome was extremely appropriate. Just use your brain for a second. 1) She has to pay restitution to her victim, which is what's most important. If she's in jail, she can't make money and give it to him. 2) She has probation for 10 YEARS. That mans if she messes up AT ALL for a decade then she goes right into prison to serve a ten year sentence. Alternatively, if she never does a single thing wrong for a full 10 years, then I'd say she's proven she doesn't need to be punished any more. That's the best thing for society, for everyone. 3) If the judge tried to sentence her to prison, what do you think would happen, little buddy? She would withdraw her plea and they would need to go through with a whole trial. None of the admissions she made as a part of the plea deal would be legally admissible in her trial, and she may very well receive absolutely no punishment at all, genius. But even if she WAS convicted and sentenced to prison at the end of it, the victim would have to wait for probably YEARS before they began to receive compensation. They would have this hanging over their head, unresolved, for years. They would need to go through the retraumatization of watching the trial AND being interrogated on the witness stand. The prosecutors would need to spend an enornous amount of time on this case, and they only have a finite amount of time. That means less time spent on murder cases or cases like that cop that raped an infant. The courts also have a finite caseload they can oversee, which means that many other people would have their own justice delayed while they waited for this to finish. And then, the best case scenario? Taxpayers need to pay for all of this prosecution, and then they have to pay to keep her in jail. Those jails also have a finite amount of space, so the more people like this that go in, the earlier we have to release other people who are even worse. All of that, just for the chance that maybe some random juror thinks she's pretty and they refuse to convict. You never know what's going to happen when something goes to an actual trial. The prosecutors and judge did the absolute best possible thing here. I shudder to think what our justice system would look like if someone as stupid as you was in charge. Maybe just keep your big dumb mouth shut in the future whenever the big boys are talking about a topic you don't understand.
@@psn64sat63 I know a lot about the process of the justice system. I myself, am a crime victim. You should not pick and choose who to send to prison. Keep your child-like insults to yourself!
@@loriwelch9015 it is an absolute requirement that judges pick and choose who to send to prison, dumbass. If everyone who committed a crime went to prison, we would not be able to house them or pay for them
and why should the fees be waived? She has a gargantuan vehicle and seems to be able to party and dress well. Why shouldn't she pay court/testing fees??
she does not feel any remorse for what she did to that man physically and emotionally. that child will forever have trauma from the accident and after seeing what his father went through.
Judge Boyd is great but treats whites totally differently than POC. I'm not sure if she is married to a white guy or something or if that even matters but I've noticed the same thing.
@@Magnus_Magnusson_702 Are you serious? Have you watched Judge Boyds hearings? I've watched so many I couldn't count. I think you're racist BS is wrong. This woman probably had a clean history. I think people are acting towards her with jealousy. If she were ugly we wouldn't be reading these crazy comments. I think she's a narcissist, but if she's testing clean and they let her get away with the early positives it must have been questionable findings. I'm sure she's paid heavy fines and deserves to. She's also showing for her hearings and pretrial appointments. Some people no show repeatedly.
The victim broke my heart. This is so horrific and unfair. She deserved prison. I hope he doesn’t lose his leg. He said he hits the brakes in his dreams every night 😢 the pain has to be unbearable. I’m glad he and his son are alive. She tested positive for alcohol 4 times. I wonder if she’s going to clean up her life.
The judge was too soft and she should have got jail time a friend of mine got hit by drunk driver. Permanent brain damage and he'll never be the same. Judges are just too lenient on drunk Drivers.
Spent 20 months in a wheelchair recovering from injuries caused by a drunk driver. He ran a light and hit me while walking across a Boston street. Have 7/24 pain and limitations on mobility three decades later after 17 surgeries. Have no sympathy whatsoever with someone who would drive while impaired.
Wow! You should have never had to deal with this. Commend your strength for being so unfairly devastated by someone else’s horrid actions & still being able to even watch a clip like this & be measured in your response. Very graceful. I wish all good things for you.
@@florencedebear1576 did you watch the rest of the video where he was caught with no pants on and smoking a cigarette?? he needs to retire or be forced to
OMG - I remember this case!!! Her soon to be EX was in the chat with us talking about it right before Judge shut down the chat!! I was wondering what happened with this lady!! I wish I could remember all he talked about! I think he was trying to get custody of his child because she was an alcoholic and not a nice person. From her apology and her fake tears only for herself I tend to believe him!! I hope he was able to get custody and I hope her victims are able to recover and lead their best lives without too much trauma and make happy memories with each other!!! I pray for them, and I pray for her children! Thank you Meg for posting this!!
The thing is this case alone should've received cps involvement and if he was a great parent or anything like that he would've received full custody. Spazing out in the chat saying how shitty of a person she is as opposed to fighting for his children makes me think that he was denied custody.
@@Zaners82123 I said I think he was trying to get custody. He may have already had custody. He was there to follow the case like the rest of us because he was an interested party. He never said if he was the father to the older child or the 2 year old. He never said anything horribly bad about her except that she had a bad drinking problem-which was evident. The only other thing I clearly remember is that he was going to be watching every hearing as he wasn’t able to attend in person and it was important for him to know how it turned out. If they had joint custody CPS wouldn’t automatically be involved in his life - SHE would have a CPS case plan but that doesn’t mean he would. If the child was removed from her custody at all by CPS - they would call him first. Anyway - the chat was shut down before the case concluded. Mostly he just talked with us other court watchers about our opinions on the other cases. And I guess I shouldn’t assume it was her soon to be ex - it was one of her exes - because that’s all I know for sure.
@@chrissz1762 Absolutely agree with you. This whole situation is pathetic. Shouldn't have taken 9 trips to the courthouse to resolve this; and NO REAL PUNISHMENT. Judges nowadays are TOO SOFT ON CRIME.
You are ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT!! SHE SHOWS NOT ONE DROP OF REMORSE NOTHING!!! WHAT A SNOB !! I am just so amazed she doesn't do ANY jail time it's just wrong!! She doesn't even think of the victim!! Soooo self absorbed.
This poor man has me bawling 😭 my eyes out! She better understand the huge break she got as I probably wouldn't be as forgiving as the judge or the victim! She is something.....
3 violations before they brought her back in?! Waive the fees? That's Bullship..No wonder nobody learns from their mistakes. She has designer handbags and clothes...and she cant afford the tether? She should be in jail period
The state didn’t even ask for jail time. She was driving drunk and got into an accident forever changing the lives of 2 people. It’s gross how many times the state makes deals instead of going to trial. A jury would have convicted her.
Judge knows what she is doing , giving her no reason to argue a thing, and saying I've waived your fees for everything and you aren't complying.... it's so obvious this lady would be back in court and non compliant.... cleaning products make the device test +? I think not
Maybe whatever profession pays for all those expensive clothes, accessories, the GMC Yukon, et. al. involves someone politically connected? A little blackmail goes a long way.
You're absolutely right. It is disgusting that she got a slap on the wrist. A friend of mine was hit by a drunk driver has permanent brain damage and the guy that hit him got a slap on the wrist. Also, these judges are too soft on these people.
Wow, she's a textbook narcissist whose phone filters are working overtime lol. For the first time, I'm so disappointed in Judge Boyds decision, there should be zero tolerance for violating a dui charge, as it is, there's so little consequences for it to begin with. This one made me angry.
Please keep checking on this case. I bet she ends up violating her probation and will be back in court. She is a danger to society and should be in jail.
That poor victim is in for a lifetime of pain and disability because of her 'mistake'. You can see from how he walks and holds himself that he's in pain.
RUFKM!!!...What is wrong with Judge Boyd?...Her attorney, whom should retire, has been allowed to delay this case while his client has this smirk on her face. Over 500 days. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!
It’s not the Judge’s fault. The defence lawyer delayed the cases and the defendant was twice positive for alcohol. The judge would have preferred to get it over and done with but she didn’t have adequate defence and that would have allowed the defendant to appeal.
This woman makes me sick....posting on social media, bragging, and flaunting. She's not sorry at all. Her attorney was horrible as well. How are you not able to be contacted for 3 weeks by your firm and the court?????
I agree with your comment. Just disgusting that she got a slap on the wrist and then out there posted like it's no big deal. She strikes me as very cold-hearted and only seems to think about herself. And her apology did not sound sincere at all. And I don't buy it when she was talking about the lysol. Situation, give me a break can't believe the judge fell for that 1.
A friend sent this video to my Fiancé today, who happens to be the victim of this accident!!! We just watched it in its entirety, and let me tell you, all those emotions from that night, the investigation all the hospital visits, the sentencing, the not knowing if he'd lose his leg as he's a diabetic, and EVERYTHING else from then to the present all came flooding back as it were that night again!! To top it off, this happened two blocks away from our home, his Son was visiting for the holiday, and they were coming from having dinner. I was actually working from home at the time so arrived at the scene pretty quickly. When I arrived at the scene, I couldn't understand how my Fiancé took the bulk of the hit with the direction they were going and from where she exited. It wasn't until later that he told me that all he could think about was that if he didn't break and turn the wheel the way he did, that his Son, which is his only child, surely would have died with how fast she was going. So he did everything he could to make sure this didn't happen. I praise God that they both lived!! I took pictures of the scene and all throughout his recovery, including video. Life completely stopped for us that first year, We had to pic and choose the family events that we could attend according to his pain level, duration, and even location as he was in a wheel chair that was pretty heavy for me to lift, he couldn't bend his leg, which has taken a very long time to get him to bend it close to 90 degrees!!! He still needs more surgeries as he hasn't already been through enough! Pancreatitis, gall bladder surgery, previous knee surgery, a triple bypass, he already suffers from PTSD from his service in the Navy. Meanwhile, she was out enjoying her life, getting her hair done, but was on government assistance, I had to stop getting my hair done, and had to take on more, including taking care of him. Which is what we do for those we love, but what pissed me off was the fact that she continued to live and we stopped living life. She showed absolutely no remorse and all her crying was more because she got caught, she showed this time and time again, but my Fiancé held the swinging door for her, THAT PISSED ME OFF!! not so much because he did it as this shows how great of a man he is, but more so because no one thought to have her wait until he was seated. I could go on and on... I just wanted to thank you for sharing this and shedding light on drunk during and how it can destroy a family. So thank you!
Heartbreaking. Simply heartbreaking. It is SO hard to watch the one responsible for ending your life as you know it go on as if they hadn’t made the choices that they did, hadn’t caused the pain and heartbreak that they did, and take no responsibility for any of it. My 17 yr old daughter was killed on a car crash with a 38 yr old ass who was a drug addict with three drugs in his system at the time. He drove into her lane, hitting her head on. She was on her way to work on that beautiful May afternoon. Her boss called to ask if she’d left yet because she wasn’t there at her scheduled time, the first time ever. My 14 yr old daughter and I left to see if she had possibly broken down on her way there. We got near to where the crash happened and I asked the person directing traffic if the vehicle was yellow, that my daughter was late for work and I was worried. He asked me her name. When I told him, he asked me to drive up and park on the shoulder of the road. Getting out of the vehicle and walking up to see a trooper coming towards me was the longest walk. When he told me she died, I just froze. My daughter screamed. And, with that, our life as we knew it was over forever. So many court dates. So many motions. So many meetings with the DA. So many phone calls. The funeral. The utter despair and grief. The ups and downs in court. Finding out that the trooper did not obtain his explicit “consent” for the blood draw and thus, a jury would only be told it was an “accident” with the driver taking his eyes off the road. How many drivers can say they haven’t done that? In the end, we did agree to a plea. Not at all what we wanted. But, the potential “sentence” he would have gotten was 2 years probation. Our plea gave him 3 months in county jail, he served 145 days. He also is on probation for 10 years, lost his license for 2 years, and had to pay court costs and $1k to the crime victims group. All because troopers did not get his “consent.” I call bullshit. The troopers took photos of the bong they found in his vehicle. But that wasn’t probable cause. I think a blood draw should be mandatory in crashes with a death. Silly I know, since the court system doesn’t want to violate and defendant’s “rights.” And now this piece of trash is a “pastor.” All clean and sober. Never once admitting what he did, but sharing all about his personal “trauma” in most times of sharing his “testimony.”’ I’m sorry to high jack your post. This video just stirred me up and then reading your post added to my anger. I pray that he finds healing, that his son is healing, and that you find rest and comfort.
@MonicalNava I am so sorry I am just seeing this. The comments get overwhelming sometimes. I was preparing an update (she violated) and completely by chance landed on your comment. So much love to your and your man. I am SOOO sorry he had to endure that horror. Please let me know if there is anything at all that we (the channel community) can do to help your family (if you have any fundraisers, gofundme, want to share your story, spread the word about drunk driving, anything at all). Please email me directly meg@megscrimewatch.com or dm me on one of the socials (scroll to the top of my channel and you will see all the links). Sending all the positivity in the world to you! -Meg
Monica, I lost my brother when he was 16 to a drunk driver and I’m so sorry what you and your family have gone through. His actions show his dedication to his family and the sacrifice we make for them . His quick actions made all the difference. I hope he continues to heal. It seems like there was never really any remorse, accountability or understanding from the defendant about the seriousness of what she did to your husband/son. Please take care of yourself and them. We all wish you the best. 💕
Probably because the defendant is cute and the judge probably thinks she would get assaulted in ten minutes if she sent her to a real prison. Cute chicks usually don't last long in prison.
@@mharris5047mmm i don’t think her looks have anything to do with it. It’s probably more that the jails are full. I’d rather my tax dollars go towards more prisons than to the Ukraine
As a man who is the former director of corrections for a state once told me, “you rarely see a good looking white woman going to prison. It has to be a pretty heinous crime for that to happen”.
Did she even mention the victims in her original apology? She mentioned that she was sorry, woman of God, two kids but I heard nothing showing me true remorse for what she did to the innocent people in the other vehicle. She is a piece of shit, her lame excuses for the SCRAM triggering were terrible and I’m shocked Judge Boyd considered them. She has jailed other defendants for less!
The judge was SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING BUT DID JACKSHIT, Boyd practically spit in that victims face and laughed, with giving out the bullsh_t slap on the hand sentence that IR did!!!

I disagree with Judge Boyd on the sentencing and not hearing the Victim Impact Testimony BEFORE sentencing. The victim is right. She got off light. Based on hearing the father give his victim impact testimony, she should have been sentenced to 10 years, five of those years in prison and the remainder of the 10-year sentence to formal probation.
As someone who was tboned exactly one year ago…can’t recall the accident, has a TBI because of it, lost so much because of that one accident, what that guy said to her just brought tears to my eyes.
@@mydobie130: NO! Driving drunk is Attempted Murder! My two boys were killed when a driver hit them head on at night. He was drunk and they are still dead! Miss Priss here, the party princess doesn’t care about anyone except herself.Her license should be revoked permanently.
Deferred adjudication after causing severe and extensive injuries while intoxicated!!! That's absolutely insane. Not to mention all her pretrial offenses as well. She definitely didn't look remorseful during all her pretrial violations. That's inconceivable and I'd be absolutely furious if I were the victims involved. I didn't even think you could get deferred adjudication in a DWI case in Texas. She should be placed in treatmentin the very least. I've lived and worked EMS in San Antonio for over 17yrs and the injuries caused by drunk drivers are horrific, traumatic, and truly unexplainable.Her sob story, whether true or not, isn't an excuse for nearly killing 2 people. There's just no excuse for drunk driving especially considering all the available ride share programs and even free driving programs available during big events in San Antonio. I'm very glad the judge didn't let her off with a slap on the wrist. I really hope Mr. Casas jr and his son have found some peace. As a victim of childhood SA, abuse ,and neglect and I'd NEVER be willing to hang out with them or take pics. I think her "story" was fabricated for sympathy to be honest.

Clearly what you don't understand is she's currently NOT going to jail. That means she got no jail time.

That's the best thing for society, for everyone. 3) If the judge tried to sentence her to prison, what do you think would happen, little buddy? She would withdraw her plea and they would need to go through with a whole trial. None of the admissions she made as a part of the plea deal would be legally admissible in her trial, and she may very well receive absolutely no punishment at all, genius. But even if she WAS convicted and sentenced to prison at the end of it, the victim would have to wait for probably YEARS before they began to receive compensation. They would have this hanging over their head, unresolved, for years. They would need to go through the retraumatization of watching the trial AND being interrogated on the witness stand. The prosecutors would need to spend an enornous amount of time on this case, and they only have a finite amount of time. That means less time spent on murder cases or cases like that cop that raped an infant. The courts also have a finite caseload they can oversee, which means that many other people would have their own justice delayed while they waited for this to finish. And then, the best case scenario? Taxpayers need to pay for all of this prosecution, and then they have to pay to keep her in jail. Those jails also have a finite amount of space, so the more people like this that go in, the earlier we have to release other people who are even worse. All of that, just for the chance that maybe some random juror thinks she's pretty and they refuse to convict. You never know what's going to happen when something goes to an actual trial. The prosecutors and judge did the absolute best possible thing here. I shudder to think what our justice system would look like if someone as stupid as you was in charge. Maybe just keep your big dumb mouth shut in the future whenever the big boys are talking about a topic you don't understand.
I'm at the 35 min point and cannot get my head around how uncharacteristically, undeservedly lenient she is being with this woman. I hope Judge Boyd isn't going soft, too. Hold these people accountable for their own poor choices, especially when ruining the lives of an innocent family.
Very glad I found you. The courts need to look at social media in sentencing. This woman learned far too little, obviously. Thank you for your thoroughness. Our judges need to become tech savvy.
Let me help you understand it. There was no sentencing phase. The case didn't go to trial. There was a plea deal. She pled guilty before a trial. The sentence was already determined prior to the plea, so there is no possible way that a victim impact statement could have affected things. The victim has already made their feelings known to the prosecutor, and the prosecutor is the one who camr up with the sentence when they proposed the plea deal. The victim impact statement is being put on the record now so that it can be taken into account if there ever is a sentencing for this crime in the future. You see, she's on probation for an entire decade. That means that if she messes up at all, a single time over the course of the next ten years, she will go to jail for a decade. The judge, when formally sentencing her after she messes up, will take the victim impact statement into account then. If she goes to jail and tries to get released on parole, then the parole board will also get to hear the victim impact statement before making their decision. This is all extremely appropriate and true justice. If she never messes up a single time for an entire decade, then she has demonstrated that she does not need any harsher corrective action to make her a producitve member of society. The most important thing is that she oays restitution to her victim. She can't possibly do that if she is in jail and not making any money. You would take food out of the mouth of her victim just to satisfy your desire to punish her? That's a little fucked up. Not to mention, if the judge goes against the plea agreement and sentenced her to jailtime, she would just withdraw her plea. None of the admissions she made about her guilt as a part of the plea deal could legally be used to convict her, so there is a very good chance that she would go free without any punishment at all. Even if she was convicted, you force the victim to live with the uncertainty of the trial for probably years. They are guaranteed to not receive and compensation for that entire duration. And they would be retraumatized by having to watch the trial and be interrogated on the witness stand. Then there is the temendous cost to society. Taxpayers need to be an enormous sum for the trial and her incarceration, but that's by far the least impactful part of it. Courts and judges are a finite resource. The time spent on this trial means that pther people will have to wait to get their own justice. Prosecutorial resources are similarly finite. Every minute that a prosecutor spends on this case is a minute that cannot be spent on the numerous murders, rapes, and child molestation cases that they constantly see. Much more terrible people may go free because of that, or they will offer even more egregious plea deals to real monsters because they just don't have the manpower to be certain of a conviction. So, please, before you get all agitated about some perceived injustice, or you want to offer some advice about a complex topic like this, think to yourself: do I actually understand this topic well enough to have a valid opinion about it? And the answer will invariably be no, because you're clearly a fucking moron, so you should leave things like this to the big boys from now on.
@@psn64sat63 wow.... rude much? I have a degree in AoJ. In the jurisdictions in which I have served, the impact statement is delivered before the sentencing. My statement was never agitated, dear. I was simply noting the difference. Have a blessed day.
@@MommeeMadre1 holy fuck. You have a related degree and you still don't understand something so basic?! Hun, the impact statement comes before sentencing in ALL jurisdictions. Sentencing just didn't happen here, little guy
Last comment-I promise! I thought her attorney said her uncle abused her & her 2 children, so she escaped to a shelter in another town. But….her husband, the father of her 2 year old-is in court with her???? I’m super confused!!!!
I don't believe a word this woman says about being sorry. Not when she all over the net posting herself in designer clothes and smiling like she doesn't have a care in the world. She should be doing jail time. My heart goes out to the victim even if her's does not.
Judge Boyd really dropped the ball on this one. Those pics the defendant posts are gross. She appears to be a straight-up narcissist. She really thinks she's something and she sure did a snow job on the court about her being "indigent."
Well…Judge Boyd you made a huge mistake in this one…& the prosecutor. A huge disgrace to the victim & just a slap in the face to him. So angry with judge & state. Disgusting. No more judge Boyd.
I couldn't agree more. Maybe it's time for the judge to retire. It appears as though she's just going through the motions without genuinely caring about the victims.
I agree. This is now the 3rd video where Judge Boyd has said she's going to revoke if the other 2 criminals didn't follow her direct orders, in both of those cases, neither did. Including a pregnant woman w 2 toddlers who kept giving positive drug tests while pregnant, left the jurisdiction, the 1st CPS worker stated she had a couch infront of the front door & the house was a mess. She goes on to have the baby, who suprise had drugs in his system & that "mother" picked up 2 more CPS cases, 1 for SA accusation & I forgot the other & Boyd didn't revoke then either, she gave her a month to get back to Bexar County. I use to respect her, but it seems she's not protecting society, toddlers & newborn babies. That makes me sick
Who is watching her kids while she's out partying? I think she should be serving real time. I agree with you. Penalties for drunk or impaired driving should be stiffer. Thanks for showing the whole video.
How so? The woman is being put into a inpatient rehab which is being locked up for at least 30 days. She has a clean criminal record and is paying for this. People are acting like this because they're either jealous or want her crucified. Being on probation for a decade isn't something anyone would want to deal with. Aside from the cost it's intrusive. People need to put their claws away.
luckily Boyd can see the bigger picture of the judicial system and doesnt stumble over pebbles like this when there are plenty of victims that need justice
@ppw2393 so its ur opinion thst just cause she has no record that her almost killing people is ok for rehab? Please get sum brains u r useless to society
Why is Boyd telling this defendant that she appreciates her ownership to the charges when she had 4 violations saying that Lysol was the culprit for the positive alcohol tests. Baffled how Boyd accepted that excuse not once, but TWICE!!
Also, Judge Boyd failed on this one, which makes me sad because she is one of my favorite judges. Serious miscarriage of justice. Her lawyer is not doing well at all physically or mentally due to his unrelated injuries. I really kind of feel bad for him. But this right here is ridiculous. Drunk driving tears lives apart and this is absolutely unacceptable.
These two survivors will have to carry the weight of HER choice to drive drunk for the rest of their lives. She gets to walk away. 2 years license suspension, and half of the term of probation only for the interlock. im so upset by judge Boyd dropping the ball on this big time.
We just watched HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of taxpayer dollars be WASTED! Between the atty fees (including the judge's); everyone at work in the court room; lab fees, MAs to collect the samples, the ankle monitoring fees (ALL that the judge ordered fees waived); the ppl behind the scenes doing the paperwork; not to mention the dad that showed up NINE TIMES, for her to get f*cking inpatient rehab and PROBATION?!?!? I hope the guy she hit files a civil suit. I'm so pissed! I'm never watching this judge again.
She has a personal lawyer, not a public defender, The taxpayers aren't footing her bill. The judge asked for one class fee to be waived and said she would ask about getting the scram fee reduced. It doesn't mean that it was, it's also a contractor that provides the equipment. The defendant also pays for urine and other lab cost not the taxpayer.
Man, that victim impact statement was something else. How cruel he had to come to court over and over, unable to walk and in constant pain, while her attorney couldn't even be bothered to phone in. Or put on pants. And _she_ barely got punished. It's all addiction treatments and classes which ultimately go to her benefit. Where is the Boyd wrath when you need it... By that time judge Simpson would've already prepared a Powerpoint of her Facebook posts and handed out printouts of the Google Maps aerial view of the crime scene.
I gotta say, I’ve lost some respect for my favorite judge. This train wreck of a woman is getting away with all this? I guess other defendants can use this case to get the same treatment? Ridiculous.
@@bunyz9728but the judge didn't have to follow recommendations and absolutely could have sentenced her to a hard 10 years. She made the wrong call. Shame on Judge Boyd on this one.
I totally agree. I love Judge Boyd & I know she likes being able to help & give people a second chance; but, this woman definitely needs jail time. It won't surprise me if she ends up in front of her again; I just hope that it's not as a result of her killing someone.😢😡😢
@@marywagner9927She killed the guy she hit future! He could still loose his leg. What about 24/7 pain? And who knows how much it affected his son. If this happened to your family you'd feel much differently.
Victim Impact is very important. His entire life is changed and his whole family is touched by her actions. Thank you Meg
I'm sorry folks but WHY do girls ALWAYS WORRY about what another girl is wearing????
Did you look at her shoes also????
Really really PATHETIC... just saying 😱🤔🤨🫤
its usually given before sentencing.
Victim impact should be presented PRIOR to sentencing.
I agree!
I also did not get that - why it was sequenced after. Poor Julio does not catch any breaks…
Judge Boyd is one of the only ones who does it this way. No idea why there’s no point after
I strongly disagree. I don't think victim-impact statements belong in court at all. If the victims have pertinent facts, they should present them from the witness box under oath, and should be subject to cross examination. The Constitution says the accused has a right to confront the witnesses against him.
While emotionally it's hard to agree with what you said.But logically and legally you're a hundred percent right so i've got no complaint.
She’s not sorry she did it; she’s sorry she’s being held accountable.
I actually think she is sorry. DUI is a horrid thing to do and needs to stop. But consider this; she is on a 10 year order, lost her license, she is now a convicted felon for life which excludes her from many things. Not sure prison would truly help TBH. I do feel that restitu.tion should be set higher. She should be made to pay a monthly sum for life to help the victim. Here in the UK we have the criminal compensation scheme. If you are a victim of a crime you can get a payout off the state for criminal injuries and the state gets it back off the perp. This way you are not relient on the perp who may not pay, you get your money and the state chase them
@@meebzilla I can almost guarantee that she'll drink and drive again!!!!!
I don't normally disagree with Judge Boyd, but in my opinion, this woman deserved prison time.
She totally did !!! and her defence attorney needs to retire he is clearly unwell and should look after his own welfare now. The defendant was entitled and all about herself she showed zero remorse for what she did to the driver of the other car she devastated his life and she didn’t care. Jail was were she belonged!!
That was not an option presented to her. Judges rarely rule outside of established plea deals, because is undermines the trust in the attorneys and the proceedings of the court.
I agree. No excuse, #1 for drinking and driving. Someone suffered physically because of her negligence, and probably will again, because she will still drink and drive. No excuses for her. In jail she won’t be drinking and driving where she can do harm to someone else.
Q@@wendystewart3270
I 1000% agree with you! I thought Judge Boyde was going to throw the book at her but, she didn't! I'm so confused! -;(
She can’t pay her fees but she has numerous designer clothes and handbags. She also is going out often🤬
Maybe they are knock offs.
@@lisawatson9570 Not a joke the guy still might lose his leg.
She was also driving an expensive vehicle
And very expensive ‘self care’ items!
That’s the courts issue not hers. They allow it. She should be in jail until her court date she could have killed to ppl. But her rights deserve higher acknowledgment than the victims.
The Victim's Impact Statement broke my heart. She deserved jail everytime she tested positive for alcohol.
Yes, I agree. At least a couple of years.
Why would she do this?
This man was severely injured and spent 10 months in hospital. She should get prison time.
There is something very fishy about this whole trial! Time to tell Judge Boyd goodbye.
That poor man got a life sentence, and she basically got a get out of jail card. 😕
I hope she breaks her parole and goes to jail. She was only apologetic at the very last time for her sentencing. I don't believe she meant it. Judges skulls look at the social media of these felons...
Agree 100%. I wasn't buying her "remorse" for a second! I usually agree with judge boyd, but I definitely don't on this one...
Even if it's at least 6 months for each month, he spent in the hospital. 6x10= 60 months, just for starters!
@@onespoiledpup2019IKR! I have no doubt she'll screw that parole up within 3 months‼️
She's out there living her best life. She needs jail! She hasn't learned ANYTHING.
My heart hurts for the victims and his family.
Agree, she's probably gonna dance right out of that courtroom when she finds out that she got probation, I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. The judge was too soft on her. I had a friend hit by drunk driver. And he has permanent brain damage and the guy got basically a slap on the wrist for it.
It bothers me big time when people say I'm a Christian and then go on and lie.
Why? That's literally what every Christian does. Hell, there's never been an organization that's abused more children than the church. This is typical "Christian" behavior.
As a Christian, it really fires me up, too. Don’t drag Jesus into it! He’s not your magical Uno card or “Get Out Of Jail Free” card 😤
There's rumor that Jesus tends to turn water into wine. Maybe that's the problem here?
It is awful and wrong, yet so called, self proclaimed Christian's are often the biggest liars and hypocrites going
She’s a Christian that likes to model nearly nude and post it online for everyone to see. 🤦🏻♀️
My mother was killed by a drunk driver who had 3 drunk driving offenses. My mother never saw my children graduate get married or see her great grandchildren. The loss is more than people can imagine.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😔
I'm so sorry. My Granny was killed by a 4 time convicted drunk driver
We lost two families members to a drunk driver who literally mowed them down as they walked along together. In court he said it was their fault for being out at night (I kid you not) he was three times over the limit.
He got two years.
Turned out he’d done it before. Not killed but badly injured someone when drunk driving so he knew that there was a potential consequence.
Someone tell me why they are allowed to drive ever again.
And tell me why wiping out two lives are only worth two years of which he’ll have served at most 18 months.

She is on Medicaid , food stamps, and WIC but works as a house keeper , yet makes her Facebook look like she's a millionaire. People have issues!
A lot of people live double lives. The one is reality and the other is social media. It’s why I personally only have YT as “social media”. I give the biggest eye rolls and side eyes at people I know irl from what they post on FB etc (I looks at my hubbys when he’s on there scanning updates from friends lol)

@@jenifercalvert3399
This makes me sick also! No excuse for this. So sorry you had to lose your mother this way.
It’s like she’s two separate people. One is the party girl in silky dresses, provocatively posing all over the place, showing her ankle monitor like it’s a badge of honor, going to bars and such, spending a lot of money. The other is a mom who has no money and can’t pay her fees who blatantly chose to drive drunk more than once, lied to a judge over and over about drinking, saying she is a Christian and never drinks and wouldn’t ever lie about it, and it must be Lysol or some other chemical giving her a bad reading. She had tears while one of the victims spoke to her about how he’s doing after surgeries, learning to walk again, possibly loosing his leg, and the hatred and anguish he feels everyday for what she did to him and his son. He’s broken and traumatized by her choice. Every time she lied to Judge Boyd, she knew she had gone and gotten drunk and drove home, hitting the victims. But she was out partying again and again with more and more lies to everyone’s faces. I’m so angry that she got away with this for so long, walking out of court with a smile on her face. It’s not the Judges fault. The Judicial System has to be redone from the bottom up. SHE SHOULD BE IN JAIL, not on Probation. I pray the victims heal and find a balance in their life where they have lives again. I hope the trauma subsides and their fears become manageable. 🌹✨🕊🙏🏼🫂🕯🔆♥️
No excuse for leniency on this case! Judge Boyd is usually tougher than this...don't know why she dropped the ball on this.
@@MG_turtle A man would have been sentenced to time in jail, no doubt.
She's still in her 304 phase, her 2 children don't matter.
I’ve seen Judge Boyd give harsher sentences for what seemed less , can’t agree with her on this one , this Diva is the definition of a Narcissist 😎
How dare Judge not sentence her to jail. It's so ridiculous to give more consideration for the drunk driver than the rest of us who are forced to risk driving amongst them.
Our insurance jumps up, the victims will never be the same does she have to kill someone before jail????
Very well said
The jails and prisons are overflowing as it is! What would you like for her to do!?
@rachelr.n.3563 I guess when one has a family member who killed another family member driving drunk they ask themselves..who matters more..the one sitting in an overcrowded cell for a little while or the one who is dead because of them. Of course, previous judges thought enough probation finger waggings would do the trick and save on the cost of incarceration. I mean, until someone is killed by shooting a gun in a crowd, essentially what driving drunk is, what's the big deal to keep shooting when one knows the threats of jail are empty as long as the jails are crowded.
@@Lomojo31 Unfortunately, I'm not the judge! I don't agree with what she did. Maybe people should stop being Shi++y human beings and we wouldn't have these problems!
She had the AUDACITY to interrupt his impact statement by saying she has dreams when he explained the nightmares he has hitting the brakes in his sleep. It's ALL about her. This chick will never make it 10 years on probation. She's too much of a narrcissist. She deserved jail time! I'm extremely frustrated with this one terribly!
I’d just like to say, I was put up for adoption at the age of 3. I was physically abused at the orphanage. I was sent to several foster homes and was sexually abused at one of the. I was adopted by an abusive alcoholic at the age of 5. I was sexually assaulted by a neighbour and by an uncle that started at age 10 and ended when I was 16. I finally told my second stepmother (first stepmother died when I was 9) about the abuse and she told me it was my fault and called me a slut. After all this I have never driven while intoxicated and I have never committed a crime. I got married and had 2 kids and after 38 years I’m still happily married. I hate people that use their past as an excuse.
So sorry - hope you have healed from all the trauma.
Agreed. I am so tired of all these criminals using their childhood trauma as an excuse. I know way too many people like you, and like myself, who went through horrendous trauma and abuse and managed to live crime free lives. In my opinion, I had the perfect example of what not to do. I also was called a slut and told to go f myself when I was 9 years old. I wanted to prove to the world I was not a slut. When I was pregnant with my son, my first thought was that I didn't want him to grow up on welfare like I did. So I went to beauty college while I was pregnant. I passed my state board exam when he was 2 weeks old. I ended up not loving the profession, so I went to college full time at night while I worked full time during the day to get a degree in business. I did the opposite of what was done to me. I did not spank because that could lead to physical abuse. I tried not to ever yell, but have to admit that I do have a snapping point when I get pushed too far, so I did yell a handful of times. I never tried hard drugs because I knew the only way to guarantee I wouldn't end up addicted to drugs like my mother was to never try them. I think I did OK because my son just got his PhD in Bioengineering from U-Penn, and landed a 6 figure job. He has zero debt, not even a car pqyment, and he will never have to struggle financially like I did as a single parent my whole life. The fact that he absolutely loves his work is icing on the cake. I feel like my life mission is complete. I broke the cycle of welfare, drugs, trauma, abuse, and neglect.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I was raised by mom who never said much and an alcoholic father, that was an anger drunk! Punch me till I passed out for about 12 years! Now happily married with two kids, God Bless you for being stronger than your abuser!
Absolutely agree with your comment. I don't care about her past. She made bad choices and now. She's just getting probation what a joke the judge was too soft.
Thanks for making this about you
The damage she caused to the victims from her bad choices should have cost her time!!
Absolutely agree. She should have got jail time.
Thank you. I don't want to watch now. Too frustrating.
No fee reduction. She has a Car, a handbag, clothes, hair color, etc LEARN TO GO WITHOUT.
I worked as a server and a bartender in Texas. In order to serve alcohol you have to take a week long class and pass all tests with at least a 90%. TABC laws are no joke. The main point of these classes is to understand that you, as the server, are personally responsible for over serving. I hope the victim, in this case, sues the hell out of that server.
Back in the day, a coworker of mine was co-owner of a bar. When Breathalyzers became available, he and his partner installed a coin operated on in the bar, so that their patrons could check if they were legal to drive. Not long after, even though the machine was making them a TON of money, their consciences forced them to remove it. Problem was, their patrons were competing for high score. That is not a joke. Here in NYS laws on overserving bar patrons are honored more in the breach than the observance. Generally if you're not causing a disturbance, they will keep pouring you drinks.
There might have been more than one server. She was at a bar. Not restaurant
That man is so brave I commend him for his strength
That victim impact statement… Legit brought me to tears. The straight physical suffering, the mental health anguish, and the financial ruin. My soul literally got ripped out. Sir, may you find peace and healing ❤
Day 454 she showed up in a slit up the front of her skirt and chewing gum. A real class act 😂😂😂
Oh, you can tell she thinks she's hot shi* and thinks she can fool anyone. Shei is not fooling anyone with thinking she looks young, that's for sure.
I have not heard anything from her as far as the victims. It's always my kids my job....this nasty rag doesn't care about anything but herself and her social calendar. There is NO true remorse from her. She will be back behind the wheel under the influence onces she's done and completed the courts terms. I am shocked Judge Boyd let her get away with so much. And she is making sure to make it appear she makes little just so she can get off easier and any payments to victims
I usually like Judge Boyd. She seemed to be tough on defendants that don’t follow rules- however this one I’m disappointed in. She should have revoked her bond the first time she violated!!
i agree
Nah, this outcome was extremely appropriate. Just use your brain for a second. 1) She has to pay restitution to her victim, which is what's most important. If she's in jail, she can't make money and give it to him.
2) She has probation for 10 YEARS. That mans if she messes up AT ALL for a decade then she goes right into prison to serve a ten year sentence. Alternatively, if she never does a single thing wrong for a full 10 years, then I'd say she's proven she doesn't need to be punished any more. That's the best thing for society, for everyone.
3) If the judge tried to sentence her to prison, what do you think would happen, little buddy? She would withdraw her plea and they would need to go through with a whole trial. None of the admissions she made as a part of the plea deal would be legally admissible in her trial, and she may very well receive absolutely no punishment at all, genius.
But even if she WAS convicted and sentenced to prison at the end of it, the victim would have to wait for probably YEARS before they began to receive compensation. They would have this hanging over their head, unresolved, for years. They would need to go through the retraumatization of watching the trial AND being interrogated on the witness stand.
The prosecutors would need to spend an enornous amount of time on this case, and they only have a finite amount of time. That means less time spent on murder cases or cases like that cop that raped an infant. The courts also have a finite caseload they can oversee, which means that many other people would have their own justice delayed while they waited for this to finish.
And then, the best case scenario? Taxpayers need to pay for all of this prosecution, and then they have to pay to keep her in jail. Those jails also have a finite amount of space, so the more people like this that go in, the earlier we have to release other people who are even worse.
All of that, just for the chance that maybe some random juror thinks she's pretty and they refuse to convict. You never know what's going to happen when something goes to an actual trial.
The prosecutors and judge did the absolute best possible thing here. I shudder to think what our justice system would look like if someone as stupid as you was in charge. Maybe just keep your big dumb mouth shut in the future whenever the big boys are talking about a topic you don't understand.

Exactly, she's only worried about herself.
she does not feel any remorse for what she did to that man physically and emotionally. that child will forever have trauma from the accident and after seeing what his father went through.
This judges sends people to prison for 10 years for consuming drugs during probation but no prison for this …. Justice !
Why is Judge Boyd being so nice to her when she is really really strict with so many other people that appear before her? I don’t get it.
White with money
Judge Boyd is great but treats whites totally differently than POC. I'm not sure if she is married to a white guy or something or if that even matters but I've noticed the same thing.
Probably bribed her with a purse.
What money? She’s broke. Her kids are on Medicaid and food stamps.
@@Magnus_Magnusson_702 Are you serious? Have you watched Judge Boyds hearings? I've watched so many I couldn't count. I think you're racist BS is wrong. This woman probably had a clean history. I think people are acting towards her with jealousy. If she were ugly we wouldn't be reading these crazy comments. I think she's a narcissist, but if she's testing clean and they let her get away with the early positives it must have been questionable findings. I'm sure she's paid heavy fines and deserves to. She's also showing for her hearings and pretrial appointments. Some people no show repeatedly.
The victim broke my heart. This is so horrific and unfair. She deserved prison. I hope he doesn’t lose his leg. He said he hits the brakes in his dreams every night 😢 the pain has to be unbearable. I’m glad he and his son are alive. She tested positive for alcohol 4 times. I wonder if she’s going to clean up her life.
The judge was too soft and she should have got jail time a friend of mine got hit by drunk driver. Permanent brain damage and he'll never be the same. Judges are just too lenient on drunk Drivers.
I shouldn't think so.
This woman is the epitome of what is wrong with society today
Spent 20 months in a wheelchair recovering from injuries caused by a drunk driver. He ran a light and hit me while walking across a Boston street.
Have 7/24 pain and limitations on mobility three decades later after 17 surgeries.

Wow! You should have never had to deal with this. Commend your strength for being so unfairly devastated by someone else’s horrid actions & still being able to even watch a clip like this & be measured in your response. Very graceful. I wish all good things for you.
Blessings
Her attorney sounds like he is on his last leg. His client needs a wake up call.
They have a lot of older lawyers. .😢
He said he was recovering from I guess backsurgery. Believe me I spend many a day on my "last leg".
Knew a lawyer in Newark so old and worked till he passed, Sidney Swirsky, they dont make them like that anymore.
@@florencedebear1576 did you watch the rest of the video where he was caught with no pants on and smoking a cigarette?? he needs to retire or be forced to
He's on his last leg because of his choices. His back surgery recovery is severely hampered by his smoking. 😊
Judge Boyd really disappointed me in this case. She’s usually a good judge, not this time.
OMG - I remember this case!!! Her soon to be EX was in the chat with us talking about it right before Judge shut down the chat!! I was wondering what happened with this lady!! I wish I could remember all he talked about! I think he was trying to get custody of his child because she was an alcoholic and not a nice person. From her apology and her fake tears only for herself I tend to believe him!! I hope he was able to get custody and I hope her victims are able to recover and lead their best lives without too much trauma and make happy memories with each other!!! I pray for them, and I pray for her children! Thank you Meg for posting this!!
The thing is this case alone should've received cps involvement and if he was a great parent or anything like that he would've received full custody. Spazing out in the chat saying how shitty of a person she is as opposed to fighting for his children makes me think that he was denied custody.
@@Zaners82123 I said I think he was trying to get custody. He may have already had custody. He was there to follow the case like the rest of us because he was an interested party. He never said if he was the father to the older child or the 2 year old. He never said anything horribly bad about her except that she had a bad drinking problem-which was evident. The only other thing I clearly remember is that he was going to be watching every hearing as he wasn’t able to attend in person and it was important for him to know how it turned out. If they had joint custody CPS wouldn’t automatically be involved in his life - SHE would have a CPS case plan but that doesn’t mean he would. If the child was removed from her custody at all by CPS - they would call him first. Anyway - the chat was shut down before the case concluded. Mostly he just talked with us other court watchers about our opinions on the other cases. And I guess I shouldn’t assume it was her soon to be ex - it was one of her exes - because that’s all I know for sure.
Agree with your comment. I thought she was very fake and I think the judge was too soft. Pathetic.
@@chrissz1762 Absolutely agree with you. This whole situation is pathetic. Shouldn't have taken 9 trips to the courthouse to resolve this; and NO REAL PUNISHMENT. Judges nowadays are TOO SOFT ON CRIME.
@keithwilson2574 again I agree with your comment absolutely judges are just too soft.
She clearly uses so many filters on her facebook posts that she’s basically catfishing 😂
🤣
Her social media presence should have gotten her a year on probation.
I know lol 😂 I was like who’s this person in the zoom meeting? It doesn’t look anything like her pictures
Absolutely!!!!!
She’s one of those fake-pretty women. You meet them and they are actually like a 5 at best.
You are ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT!! SHE SHOWS NOT ONE DROP OF REMORSE NOTHING!!! WHAT A SNOB !! I am just so amazed she doesn't do ANY jail time it's just wrong!! She doesn't even think of the victim!! Soooo self absorbed.
I have heard that Texas is tough on crime but all I see lately is multiple chances and light sentences. She should be in jail.
This poor man has me bawling 😭 my eyes out! She better understand the huge break she got as I probably wouldn't be as forgiving as the judge or the victim! She is something.....
RIDICULOUS!! SHE NEEDS TO STOP PROLONGING THIS AND SEND HER TO PRISON!!
3 violations before they brought her back in?! Waive the fees? That's Bullship..No wonder nobody learns from their mistakes. She has designer handbags and clothes...and she cant afford the tether? She should be in jail period
The judge was too soft on her.
The state didn’t even ask for jail time. She was driving drunk and got into an accident forever changing the lives of 2 people. It’s gross how many times the state makes deals instead of going to trial. A jury would have convicted her.
State did ask for 10 years in prison.
To bring up an ancient Judge Judy quote. "Beauty fades. Dumb is forever."
She is 100% going to screw up.
probation violation hearing incoming.
I can't believe she try to play the victim at the end there. A rough childhood doesn't mean you get away with crashing into someone drunk.
Exactly. She made the choice to drink and drive. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever.
My parents always said: You stay out of trouble, by staying far away from trouble.
I'm honestly shocked Judge Boyd gave her this many chances. She should be greatful.
she is friends with the defense attorney it looks like
But she is a model for the before treatment pict…
Well, duh!!! It's a Girl's night out thing!!!
Me too
Judge knows what she is doing , giving her no reason to argue a thing, and saying I've waived your fees for everything and you aren't complying.... it's so obvious this lady would be back in court and non compliant.... cleaning products make the device test +? I think not
Maybe whatever profession pays for all those expensive clothes, accessories, the GMC Yukon, et. al. involves someone politically connected? A little blackmail goes a long way.
Too many judges allow leniency to drunk drivers.
Why do people think drugs are worse than alcohol? Her children are in just as much danger with her, as her ex.
I think her lawyer might want to consider retirement.
Thank you for following this case all the way through. This is a real public service
I promise you she thinks that people “like her” don’t go to jail. 😮
That slap on the wrist is DISGUSTING
You're absolutely right. It is disgusting that she got a slap on the wrist. A friend of mine was hit by a drunk driver has permanent brain damage and the guy that hit him got a slap on the wrist. Also, these judges are too soft on these people.
Judge Boyd!!! Why is this woman being given special treatment?!
I wonder if she wasn't a blue eyed blond if the judge would have given so many.....?
Wow, she's a textbook narcissist whose phone filters are working overtime lol. For the first time, I'm so disappointed in Judge Boyds decision, there should be zero tolerance for violating a dui charge, as it is, there's so little consequences for it to begin with. This one made me angry.
Please keep checking on this case. I bet she ends up violating her probation and will be back in court. She is a danger to society and should be in jail.
Yep. But she will just get away with it again.
Oh, I don't see how she won't be back.
@@stormygal67I was just about to say that.
Agree 100%
10 years on probation. She'll violate probation guarantee it !!!
That poor victim is in for a lifetime of pain and disability because of her 'mistake'. You can see from how he walks and holds himself that he's in pain.
RUFKM!!!...What is wrong with Judge Boyd?...Her attorney, whom should retire, has been allowed to delay this case while his client has this smirk on her face. Over 500 days. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!
Nothing is wrong with Judge Boyd. I think all so-called evidence was not presented. This horrible woman will screw up and be put in jail....soon.
Don’t forget the camel toe yoga pants at hearing #2
Watch your mouth regarding Judge Boyd
It’s not the Judge’s fault. The defence lawyer delayed the cases and the defendant was twice positive for alcohol. The judge would have preferred to get it over and done with but she didn’t have adequate defence and that would have allowed the defendant to appeal.
No she’s fantastic !!! Not her fault it was the defence lawyer!
This woman makes me sick....posting on social media, bragging, and flaunting. She's not sorry at all.
Her attorney was horrible as well. How are you not able to be contacted for 3 weeks by your firm and the court?????
I agree with your comment. Just disgusting that she got a slap on the wrist and then out there posted like it's no big deal. She strikes me as very cold-hearted and only seems to think about herself. And her apology did not sound sincere at all. And I don't buy it when she was talking about the lysol. Situation, give me a break can't believe the judge fell for that 1.
A friend sent this video to my Fiancé today, who happens to be the victim of this accident!!! We just watched it in its entirety, and let me tell you, all those emotions from that night, the investigation all the hospital visits, the sentencing, the not knowing if he'd lose his leg as he's a diabetic, and EVERYTHING else from then to the present all came flooding back as it were that night again!! To top it off, this happened two blocks away from our home, his Son was visiting for the holiday, and they were coming from having dinner. I was actually working from home at the time so arrived at the scene pretty quickly. When I arrived at the scene, I couldn't understand how my Fiancé took the bulk of the hit with the direction they were going and from where she exited. It wasn't until later that he told me that all he could think about was that if he didn't break and turn the wheel the way he did, that his Son, which is his only child, surely would have died with how fast she was going. So he did everything he could to make sure this didn't happen.
I praise God that they both lived!!
I took pictures of the scene and all throughout his recovery, including video. Life completely stopped for us that first year, We had to pic and choose the family events that we could attend according to his pain level, duration, and even location as he was in a wheel chair that was pretty heavy for me to lift, he couldn't bend his leg, which has taken a very long time to get him to bend it close to 90 degrees!!!
He still needs more surgeries as he hasn't already been through enough! Pancreatitis, gall bladder surgery, previous knee surgery, a triple bypass, he already suffers from PTSD from his service in the Navy.
Meanwhile, she was out enjoying her life, getting her hair done, but was on government assistance, I had to stop getting my hair done, and had to take on more, including taking care of him. Which is what we do for those we love, but what pissed me off was the fact that she continued to live and we stopped living life.
She showed absolutely no remorse and all her crying was more because she got caught, she showed this time and time again, but my Fiancé held the swinging door for her, THAT PISSED ME OFF!! not so much because he did it as this shows how great of a man he is, but more so because no one thought to have her wait until he was seated.
I could go on and on...
I just wanted to thank you for sharing this and shedding light on drunk during and how it can destroy a family. So thank you!
Heartbreaking. Simply heartbreaking.
It is SO hard to watch the one responsible for ending your life as you know it go on as if they hadn’t made the choices that they did, hadn’t caused the pain and heartbreak that they did, and take no responsibility for any of it.
My 17 yr old daughter was killed on a car crash with a 38 yr old ass who was a drug addict with three drugs in his system at the time. He drove into her lane, hitting her head on.
She was on her way to work on that beautiful May afternoon. Her boss called to ask if she’d left yet because she wasn’t there at her scheduled time, the first time ever. My 14 yr old daughter and I left to see if she had possibly broken down on her way there.
We got near to where the crash happened and I asked the person directing traffic if the vehicle was yellow, that my daughter was late for work and I was worried. He asked me her name. When I told him, he asked me to drive up and park on the shoulder of the road. Getting out of the vehicle and walking up to see a trooper coming towards me was the longest walk. When he told me she died, I just froze. My daughter screamed.
And, with that, our life as we knew it was over forever.
So many court dates. So many motions. So many meetings with the DA. So many phone calls. The funeral. The utter despair and grief.
The ups and downs in court. Finding out that the trooper did not obtain his explicit “consent” for the blood draw and thus, a jury would only be told it was an “accident” with the driver taking his eyes off the road. How many drivers can say they haven’t done that?
In the end, we did agree to a plea. Not at all what we wanted. But, the potential “sentence” he would have gotten was 2 years probation. Our plea gave him 3 months in county jail, he served 145 days. He also is on probation for 10 years, lost his license for 2 years, and had to pay court costs and $1k to the crime victims group.
All because troopers did not get his “consent.” I call bullshit. The troopers took photos of the bong they found in his vehicle. But that wasn’t probable cause.
I think a blood draw should be mandatory in crashes with a death. Silly I know, since the court system doesn’t want to violate and defendant’s “rights.”
And now this piece of trash is a “pastor.” All clean and sober. Never once admitting what he did, but sharing all about his personal “trauma” in most times of sharing his “testimony.”’
I’m sorry to high jack your post. This video just stirred me up and then reading your post added to my anger.
I pray that he finds healing, that his son is healing, and that you find rest and comfort.
@MonicalNava I am so sorry I am just seeing this. The comments get overwhelming sometimes. I was preparing an update (she violated) and completely by chance landed on your comment. So much love to your and your man. I am SOOO sorry he had to endure that horror. Please let me know if there is anything at all that we (the channel community) can do to help your family (if you have any fundraisers, gofundme, want to share your story, spread the word about drunk driving, anything at all). Please email me directly meg@megscrimewatch.com or dm me on one of the socials (scroll to the top of my channel and you will see all the links). Sending all the positivity in the world to you! -Meg
Monica, bless you and your fiance. Praying for you. You got hit twice; once on that night and again by the court. I'm sorry you are hurting.
Monica, I lost my brother when he was 16 to a drunk driver and I’m so sorry what you and your family have gone through. His actions show his dedication to his family and the sacrifice we make for them . His quick actions made all the difference. I hope he continues to heal. It seems like there was never really any remorse, accountability or understanding from the defendant about the seriousness of what she did to your husband/son. Please take care of yourself and them. We all wish you the best. 💕
She's getting so many more chances from the judge than she usually gives. No idea why.
Probably because the defendant is cute and the judge probably thinks she would get assaulted in ten minutes if she sent her to a real prison. Cute chicks usually don't last long in prison.
@@mharris5047mmm i don’t think her looks have anything to do with it. It’s probably more that the jails are full. I’d rather my tax dollars go towards more prisons than to the Ukraine
My guess is it's the Jesus stuff. If you lie to Christians, just add a couple "I love Jesus"'s in there they'll go soft on you.
@@Ladywolf2263genuine question, are you OK with your tax dollars going to Israel?
As a man who is the former director of corrections for a state once told me, “you rarely see a good looking white woman going to prison. It has to be a pretty heinous crime for that to happen”.
She only cares about herself.
She is selfish
Did she even mention the victims in her original apology? She mentioned that she was sorry, woman of God, two kids but I heard nothing showing me true remorse for what she did to the innocent people in the other vehicle.
She is a piece of shit, her lame excuses for the SCRAM triggering were terrible and I’m shocked Judge Boyd considered them. She has jailed other defendants for less!
And that red bikini pic with the car was tragic beyond comprehension. 🤢🤮
100%! She should have to sell her SUV and give the proceeds to the victim!
The judge was SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING BUT DID JACKSHIT, Boyd practically spit in that victims face and laughed, with giving out the bullsh_t slap on the hand sentence that IR did!!!
The judge basically didn't do a damn thing. She should be ashamed of herself and the woman deserves prison!!!!!
The judge was trying to give her a chance, as well as she’s held back by the law
She needs jail time. She has zero chance of a successful 10-year probation.
She'll probably screw up, especially with that suspended license. Then she'll get the time she deserves.
Nah, its extremely appropriate. Just use your brain for a second. 1) She has to pay restitution to her victim, which is what's most important. If she's in jail, she can't make money and give it to him.
2) She has probation for 10 YEARS. That mans if she messes up AT ALL for a decade then she goes right into prison to serve a ten year sentence. Alternatively, if she never does a single thing wrong for a full 10 years, then I'd say she's proven she doesn't need to be punished any more. That's the best thing for society, for everyone.
3) If the judge tried to sentence her to prison, what do you think would happen, little buddy? She would withdraw her plea and they would need to go through with a whole trial. None of the admissions she made as a part of the plea deal would be legally admissible in her trial, and she may very well receive absolutely no punishment at all, genius.
But even if she WAS convicted and sentenced to prison at the end of it, the victim would have to wait for probably YEARS before they began to receive compensation. They would have this hanging over their head, unresolved, for years. They would need to go through the retraumatization of watching the trial AND being interrogated on the witness stand.
The prosecutors would need to spend an enornous amount of time on this case, and they only have a finite amount of time. That means less time spent on murder cases or cases like that cop that raped an infant. The courts also have a finite caseload they can oversee, which means that many other people would have their own justice delayed while they waited for this to finish.
And then, the best case scenario? Taxpayers need to pay for all of this prosecution, and then they have to pay to keep her in jail. Those jails also have a finite amount of space, so the more people like this that go in, the earlier we have to release other people who are even worse.
All of that, just for the chance that maybe some random juror thinks she's pretty and they refuse to convict. You never know what's going to happen when something goes to an actual trial.
The prosecutors and judge did the absolute best possible thing here. I shudder to think what our justice system would look like if someone as stupid as you was in charge. Maybe just keep your big dumb mouth shut in the future whenever the big boys are talking about a topic you don't understand.
My heart goes out to the victims. Thanks Meg, for your honesty and helping us see the case all the way through. Judge Boyd is great.
I disagree with Judge Boyd on the sentencing and not hearing the Victim Impact Testimony BEFORE sentencing. The victim is right. She got off light. Based on hearing the father give his victim impact testimony, she should have been sentenced to 10 years, five of those years in prison and the remainder of the 10-year sentence to formal probation.
As someone who was tboned exactly one year ago…can’t recall the accident, has a TBI because of it, lost so much because of that one accident, what that guy said to her just brought tears to my eyes.
Dui charges should be treated as attempted homicide
That's hard core, but I'm not sure I disagree

Deferred adjudication after causing severe and extensive injuries while intoxicated!!! That's absolutely insane. Not to mention all her pretrial offenses as well. She definitely didn't look remorseful during all her pretrial violations. That's inconceivable and I'd be absolutely furious if I were the victims involved. I didn't even think you could get deferred adjudication in a DWI case in Texas. She should be placed in treatmentin the very least. I've lived and worked EMS in San Antonio for over 17yrs and the injuries caused by drunk drivers are horrific, traumatic, and truly unexplainable.Her sob story, whether true or not, isn't an excuse for nearly killing 2 people. There's just no excuse for drunk driving especially considering all the available ride share programs and even free driving programs available during big events in San Antonio. I'm very glad the judge didn't let her off with a slap on the wrist. I really hope Mr. Casas jr and his son have found some peace.
As a victim of childhood SA, abuse ,and neglect and I'd NEVER be willing to hang out with them or take pics. I think her "story" was fabricated for sympathy to be honest.

She should be in jail
She will be. And judge Boyd knows it. 10 years of probation is a LONG time and keeping herself clean for that long is going to be rough for her.
@@markc13579Thank you! It is like no one understands plea negotiations or what they mean.
Clearly what you don't understand is she's currently NOT going to jail. That means she got no jail time. You're assuming she's going to continue to be the POS that she currently is within the next 10 years. What we're saying is she definitely would be in jail if the judge gave her jail time today, not in your dream world of maybe some day.

@@psn64sat63 you make great points. why so mean though?
She has an MTR right now for fail to test, failed to complete classes. So foreseeable with her.
I'm at the 35 min point and cannot get my head around how uncharacteristically, undeservedly lenient she is being with this woman. I hope Judge Boyd isn't going soft, too. Hold these people accountable for their own poor choices, especially when ruining the lives of an innocent family.
Exactly. The judge has been soft the whole time.
I almost vomited over the sentences,
Very glad I found you. The courts need to look at social media in sentencing. This woman learned far too little, obviously. Thank you for your thoroughness. Our judges need to become tech savvy.
I thought this also.
Very disappointed in Judge Boyd, Yvette should have been in jail no later than hearing #2
I think it's strange that the victim impact statement is heard AFTER the sentencing here.
I agree. Apparently it's a Texas thing.
Let me help you understand it. There was no sentencing phase. The case didn't go to trial. There was a plea deal. She pled guilty before a trial. The sentence was already determined prior to the plea, so there is no possible way that a victim impact statement could have affected things. The victim has already made their feelings known to the prosecutor, and the prosecutor is the one who camr up with the sentence when they proposed the plea deal.
The victim impact statement is being put on the record now so that it can be taken into account if there ever is a sentencing for this crime in the future. You see, she's on probation for an entire decade. That means that if she messes up at all, a single time over the course of the next ten years, she will go to jail for a decade. The judge, when formally sentencing her after she messes up, will take the victim impact statement into account then. If she goes to jail and tries to get released on parole, then the parole board will also get to hear the victim impact statement before making their decision.
This is all extremely appropriate and true justice. If she never messes up a single time for an entire decade, then she has demonstrated that she does not need any harsher corrective action to make her a producitve member of society. The most important thing is that she oays restitution to her victim. She can't possibly do that if she is in jail and not making any money. You would take food out of the mouth of her victim just to satisfy your desire to punish her? That's a little fucked up.
Not to mention, if the judge goes against the plea agreement and sentenced her to jailtime, she would just withdraw her plea. None of the admissions she made about her guilt as a part of the plea deal could legally be used to convict her, so there is a very good chance that she would go free without any punishment at all.
Even if she was convicted, you force the victim to live with the uncertainty of the trial for probably years. They are guaranteed to not receive and compensation for that entire duration. And they would be retraumatized by having to watch the trial and be interrogated on the witness stand.
Then there is the temendous cost to society. Taxpayers need to be an enormous sum for the trial and her incarceration, but that's by far the least impactful part of it. Courts and judges are a finite resource. The time spent on this trial means that pther people will have to wait to get their own justice.
Prosecutorial resources are similarly finite. Every minute that a prosecutor spends on this case is a minute that cannot be spent on the numerous murders, rapes, and child molestation cases that they constantly see. Much more terrible people may go free because of that, or they will offer even more egregious plea deals to real monsters because they just don't have the manpower to be certain of a conviction.
So, please, before you get all agitated about some perceived injustice, or you want to offer some advice about a complex topic like this, think to yourself: do I actually understand this topic well enough to have a valid opinion about it? And the answer will invariably be no, because you're clearly a fucking moron, so you should leave things like this to the big boys from now on.
@@psn64sat63 wow.... rude much?
I have a degree in AoJ. In the jurisdictions in which I have served, the impact statement is delivered before the sentencing.
My statement was never agitated, dear. I was simply noting the difference.
Have a blessed day.
@@MommeeMadre1 holy fuck. You have a related degree and you still don't understand something so basic?! Hun, the impact statement comes before sentencing in ALL jurisdictions. Sentencing just didn't happen here, little guy
I hope the victim sues the hell out of her.
Often it’s better to get restitution. People that commit crimes don’t have anything worth suing for.
The problem is. he will receive nothing from her
The victims can sue the bar if it's proven they over served her...
Was her car insured? Because if so, they will at least pay the maximum allowed the insurance company.
@@lylekru2208 Thats when you sue for Judgement/lien and then file for Income garnishment.
Last comment-I promise!
I thought her attorney said her uncle abused her & her 2 children, so she escaped to a shelter in another town.
But….her husband, the father of her 2 year old-is in court with her????
I’m super confused!!!!
I feel so badly for the gentleman she hit. I pray the Lord heals him fully. 😖
Gee, ten years probation is a long time? The man who was hit has lifelong physical problems.
I don't believe a word this woman says about being sorry. Not when she all over the net posting herself in designer clothes and smiling like she doesn't have a care in the world. She should be doing jail time. My heart goes out to the victim even if her's does not.
Judge Boyd really dropped the ball on this one. Those pics the defendant posts are gross. She appears to be a straight-up narcissist. She really thinks she's something and she sure did a snow job on the court about her being "indigent."
RE: facing 10 years in prison. Too bad she didn't serve any time behind bars.
Really great compilation!! I have ZERO sympathy for drunk drivers & this woman seems like she has absolutely ZERO remorse for what she did!!!!
Well…Judge Boyd you made a huge mistake in this one…& the prosecutor. A huge disgrace to the victim & just a slap in the face to him. So angry with judge & state. Disgusting. No more judge Boyd.
I couldn't agree more. Maybe it's time for the judge to retire. It appears as though she's just going through the motions without genuinely caring about the victims.
I agree. This is now the 3rd video where Judge Boyd has said she's going to revoke if the other 2 criminals didn't follow her direct orders, in both of those cases, neither did. Including a pregnant woman w 2 toddlers who kept giving positive drug tests while pregnant, left the jurisdiction, the 1st CPS worker stated she had a couch infront of the front door & the house was a mess. She goes on to have the baby, who suprise had drugs in his system & that "mother" picked up 2 more CPS cases, 1 for SA accusation & I forgot the other & Boyd didn't revoke then either, she gave her a month to get back to Bexar County. I use to respect her, but it seems she's not protecting society, toddlers & newborn babies. That makes me sick
Yep, time to unsubscribe.
Who is watching her kids while she's out partying? I think she should be serving real time. I agree with you. Penalties for drunk or impaired driving should be stiffer. Thanks for showing the whole video.
I’m losing faith in judge Boyd with this one
She has held that privileged woman’s hand the whole way. So sad, this man will never walk right again.
Agree with your comment.
If that was her mom, or any of her loved ones, she would want the max penalty.
After this case I hope that Judge Boyd, doesnt go this soft on anyone again
Boyd failed this victim badly. She should have denied the deal and gone to trial
How so? The woman is being put into a inpatient rehab which is being locked up for at least 30 days. She has a clean criminal record and is paying for this. People are acting like this because they're either jealous or want her crucified. Being on probation for a decade isn't something anyone would want to deal with. Aside from the cost it's intrusive. People need to put their claws away.
luckily Boyd can see the bigger picture of the judicial system and doesnt stumble over pebbles like this when there are plenty of victims that need justice
@ryanoneal8480 that's alot of bs that came out ur mouth lol
@ppw2393 so its ur opinion thst just cause she has no record that her almost killing people is ok for rehab? Please get sum brains u r useless to society
@@ppw2393Because this woman is taking the mick out of the Judge and the Court. That's why!
Meg, thank you so much for covering this case. It’s really educational. Much appreciated.
Why is Boyd telling this defendant that she appreciates her ownership to the charges when she had 4 violations saying that Lysol was the culprit for the positive alcohol tests. Baffled how Boyd accepted that excuse not once, but TWICE!!
Saying your sorry is 1 thing, meaning it was a whole another thing, she only feels sorry that she got caught
She should have to go to prison for a few years at least. She wrecked this man’s life, permanently.
Also, Judge Boyd failed on this one, which makes me sad because she is one of my favorite judges. Serious miscarriage of justice. Her lawyer is not doing well at all physically or mentally due to his unrelated injuries. I really kind of feel bad for him. But this right here is ridiculous. Drunk driving tears lives apart and this is absolutely unacceptable.
I agree. I am very disappointed in Judge Boyd.
These two survivors will have to carry the weight of HER choice to drive drunk for the rest of their lives. She gets to walk away. 2 years license suspension, and half of the term of probation only for the interlock. im so upset by judge Boyd dropping the ball on this big time.
We just watched HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of taxpayer dollars be WASTED! Between the atty fees (including the judge's); everyone at work in the court room; lab fees, MAs to collect the samples, the ankle monitoring fees (ALL that the judge ordered fees waived); the ppl behind the scenes doing the paperwork; not to mention the dad that showed up NINE TIMES, for her to get f*cking inpatient rehab and PROBATION?!?!?
I hope the guy she hit files a civil suit.
I'm so pissed! I'm never watching this judge again.
taxpayers don't pay for GPS they have to pay for their own GPS monitors and monthly fees.
@@lilpinksliplee7310 trying to decide if I should spend the time finding where she waived it...

She has a personal lawyer, not a public defender, The taxpayers aren't footing her bill. The judge asked for one class fee to be waived and said she would ask about getting the scram fee reduced. It doesn't mean that it was, it's also a contractor that provides the equipment. The defendant also pays for urine and other lab cost not the taxpayer.
She should have been sent to State Prison.
Man, that victim impact statement was something else. How cruel he had to come to court over and over, unable to walk and in constant pain, while her attorney couldn't even be bothered to phone in. Or put on pants. And _she_ barely got punished. It's all addiction treatments and classes which ultimately go to her benefit. Where is the Boyd wrath when you need it... By that time judge Simpson would've already prepared a Powerpoint of her Facebook posts and handed out printouts of the Google Maps aerial view of the crime scene.
I'm sorry, she needs SERIOUS jail time, period!
Why are citizens paying for these criminals courses, testing and such when they waive jail time and fees?...
Why is she getting away with excuses. The judge doesnt allow others to get away with that 💩
I don't believe the lysol story whatsoever.
I gotta say, I’ve lost some respect for my favorite judge. This train wreck of a woman is getting away with all this? I guess other defendants can use this case to get the same treatment? Ridiculous.
I feel the same but it's also state and def that makes CHOICES about defendants.
@@bunyz9728but the judge didn't have to follow recommendations and absolutely could have sentenced her to a hard 10 years. She made the wrong call. Shame on Judge Boyd on this one.
I totally agree. I love Judge Boyd & I know she likes being able to help & give people a second chance; but, this woman definitely needs jail time. It won't surprise me if she ends up in front of her again; I just hope that it's not as a result of her killing someone.😢😡😢
@@Nanee907for 1st offense? She did not kill anyone!
@@marywagner9927She killed the guy she hit future! He could still loose his leg. What about 24/7 pain? And who knows how much it affected his son. If this happened to your family you'd feel much differently.
