“If You Could Write Your Own Program, We Wouldn’t Be Here” — Judge Boyd SLAMS Dr*g Offender

A woman claims she's been clean from heroin for almost a year, but the judge does the math. The offense was only months ago. She has a prior intent-to-deliver conviction and now wants to delay treatment for a spiritual retreat. The judge says no. Then a probationer who failed dr*g tests, didn't complete the BIP program, and left the state without permission claims PTSD and memory issues. 00:00 Defendant Claims Clean for Almost a Year 00:03 Using Heroin for 10 Years 00:07 Judge Does the Math 00:18 Offense Date: April 3, 2023 00:26 Prior Intent to Deliver Conviction 00:40 Defendant Wants Spiritual Retreat 00:50 Hernandez Case Called 01:06 Discovery Compliance 01:26 Rights Waved 02:03 Deferred Adjudication Application 02:32 Court Admonishments Read 02:41 Possession of Controlled Substance 03:05 Deferred Adjudication Granted 03:12 Defense Requests Follow Plea 03:16 Last Employed Four Months Ago 03:23 Worked for Father's Lawn Care 03:30 Homeless at Time of Offense 04:11 Four Children, All Adopted 04:29 Using for at Least 10 Years 04:33 "I've Been Clean for Almost a Year" 04:43 Judge: "You Haven't Been Clean for a Year" 05:07 $200 Fine Probated 05:15 TAP Evaluation Ordered 05:39 Inpatient Treatment if Recommended 05:49 Four Years Deferred Adjudication 05:54 150 Hours Community Service 06:01 TAP Evaluation in Custody 06:10 Employment Within 45 Days 06:16 No Employment with Minors 06:23 Regular UAS, Field Visits 06:52 Spiritual Retreat Request Denied 08:10 Judge Reads Police Report 08:15 Heroin Use 08:26 TAP in Custody, Inpatient Treatment 08:30 Prior Prison for Intent to Deliver 08:39 Felony Dr*g Court Removed 08:53 Gang Evaluation Ordered 09:22 "If You Could Write Your Own Program, We Wouldn't Be Here" 09:52 Appeal Rights Waved 10:18 Diaz Probation Violation 12:43 Credit for 271 Days Served 13:04 Defendant Has Done Nothing on Probation 13:17 Claims Mental Health Needs 13:50 "If He Didn't Get Help, He Didn't Ask for It" 14:21 Has He Done Anything?
