Judge Stevens SHOCKED By CRIMINALS THUG Behavior In These CRIMES!

Ajouté : 2026-05-17

[00:00:03][music] >> You're certainly seemingly in good shape.

[00:00:09]23 CR1738 is now called and How do you pronounce your first name?

[00:00:17]Mahogany. Okay, Broussard.

[00:00:20]And you were here with Mr. Lewis, your attorney.

[00:00:24]Pleaded guilty. That was in April uh to this indictment alleging aggravated assault in 23 CR1738.

[00:00:34]A pre-sentence report has Well, that's not the only one, is it?

[00:00:42]There were showing three cases. Three cases.

[00:00:47]So, it was 23 CR1738 aggravated assault 23 CR1739 aggravated assault.

[00:01:02]It should be 23 is CR 2222 2222 aggravated assault. There is an outstanding a fourth case 23 CR1740 that was not pleaded to. That's going to be dismissed. That's correct, Judge.

[00:01:21]Okay.

[00:01:24]So, these three cases alleging second-degree felonies of aggravated assault and deadly weapon is this.

[00:01:32]Uh I have we have proceeded forward on those. You have entered pleas of guilty. And again, uh Mr. Lewis is here representing you.

[00:01:43]And pre-sentence reports on each of these have been prepared and the parties had an opportunity to review it. Any corrections or changes to it?

[00:01:52]Nothing from the defendant. Nothing from the state, Judge.

[00:01:54]>> All right. What we have here is an agreement in each of these cases of a cap of eight years in prison.

[00:02:03]So, we are looking thus at uh no less than two nor more than eight years confinement in prison on one tier two or three of the a deferred or unadjudicated probation which can be up to 10 years in length on probation where the defendant is not found guilty and uh placed on unadjudicated uh probation.

[00:02:27]Then, I think that's it. Isn't it? Uh regular probation is not an option with the court since we have a deadly weapon, namely firearm use in the commission of these crimes.

[00:02:43]So, two options there and directions. I have received uh two notes or letters from uh One is from Diane Broussard who is your sister.

[00:03:15]And another is from Alicia Broussard who is going to be your mom. Your mother. Okay.

[00:03:30]Let me look just a little cuz I've just seen these just briefly. Have y'all had seen a copy of these?

[00:03:37]I told him I didn't have any objections to them being introduced.

[00:03:42]How long have you been in jail now?

[00:03:45]8 months.

[00:03:49]Well, it's not from and it says at the end of one of these, "Please forgive my sister." Uh it's not for me to do that.

[00:03:55]That's not I'm not the one who does that. That's maybe our creator and the uh victims here in these cases. So, have the parties have had a chance to review uh [clears throat] this? Any corrections or changes uh to this?

[00:04:21]Nothing from the defendant. Nothing from the state. All right. Then, the pre-sentence reports in each case for each case which are prepared in one report here uh are made a part of the record for all purposes.

[00:04:36]Okay.

[00:04:37]Go ahead, Mr. Lewis. Thank you, Judge.

[00:04:39]Um Judge, of course, these are some definitely serious cases involved with these aggravated assaults we're dealing with.

[00:04:49]Um even given that, I do believe that Ms. Broussard is someone whose future definitely still uh salvageable. Um she doesn't have any criminal history that She She is was being had been very forthcoming about her involvement in this in this in this allegation. Um It was definitely a situation where uh It was definitely a family dispute that definitely arose from uh She had just met her father in January of 2023.

[00:05:24]He passed away in June of 2023.

[00:05:27]This allegation happened in September.

[00:05:29]So, it was a basic situation where she was trying to still maintain relationship with her father's side of the family.

[00:05:36]And uh and just and it was it just did not uh I think through through the grieving process and everything, I think it was just a situation where uh they just couldn't get along which was led up to what happened on this day.

[00:05:52]Um She admits that she definitely was intoxicated under influence of uh of drugs at the time of of the offense.

[00:06:02]Uh she does She's She was really open with with probation PSI writer about any substance abuse that she has had. Um and she has taken on her own initiative to try and get >> [clears throat] >> some help as it has been available to her by attending AA classes and and church while she's been incarcerated there at the county jail.

[00:06:24]Um I also see the Judge she has had any some mental health diagnosis since she's been there.

[00:06:33]Um I believe there is a definite vehicle available through the probation department that she can definitely benefit from um going forward. It definitely going to help with her decision-making and things of that nature cuz even if we see from her educational history that there was some um educational uh um developmental issues that she was diagnosed with early on. So, a a combination of that developmental history plus the mental health history, uh she'll be able to get that uh get help for that and definitely keep her going on the right track as far as being able to care for her daughter. Um she has been able to hold a job and and keep and uh employment. She definitely wants to continue on with that. Um she does have some family support that you see from the letter that came in from her mother and her aunt.

[00:07:23]Um Although they're not physically here today right now, they can only be here these four to five days.

[00:07:31]Um I just And of course, she she would like to address the court of course uh as far as how she feels the court of course moving forward. But Judge, we definitely are asking that the court could consider uh placing her on deferred adjudicated probation. I think I think uh she does have the motivation that's necessary to complete it successfully and to be able and be able to uh be someone that we would have to worry about seeing her here again or any other other issues.

[00:08:07]Mhm.

[00:08:10]State of Texas.

[00:08:12]Judge, she's kind of got me in a a pickle here and here's the reason why.

[00:08:17]She has given some information. As a matter of fact, she she told who the shooter was which um is true. That much we know she told the truth about. But she keeps limiting her responsibility in the whole thing.

[00:08:31]And the reason is she keeps trying to place herself in the backseat whenever every other witness says she was driving the vehicle.

[00:08:36]She was driving it earlier that day and that one of the aggravated assaults was trying to run over somebody with a with a motor vehicle.

[00:08:43]And then texting him and telling him she'd be back and she did came back and that's when the shooting occurred.

[00:08:49]So, on one hand, she's tried to rectify some of the situation, but on the other hand, she's tried to distance herself from it. And unfortunately, this is part of the problem we have with Jefferson County is this everybody solves their problems with with guns and these drive-bys and and trying to hurt people and it just puts me in a spot where I have to ask for penitentiary time.

[00:09:15]So, we'd ask for that year. And and and just to kind of as far as the minimization doing, I think that goes to some of the the drug use that on the on the day in question which she's openly admitted to that she definitely was under the influence and does remember everything that happened on that on that day. But the uh significant major parts of of the uh of the offense, she has been fully up front and cooperative with with law enforcement.

[00:09:46]>> [clears throat] >> Okay.

[00:09:52]We've got two indictments where George Mosley is the complainant and one alleges being the defendant shot this uh complainant and then also in another indictment struck the complainant with a vehicle. Yes, sir.

[00:10:12]And then we've got uh Britana Lewis who was shot. Yes, sir.

[00:10:26]What is Houston auto?

[00:10:28]>> Yes, sir. The automobile happened earlier that day at about 11:00 in the morning.

[00:10:32]That's that last paragraph down there thinking on the on the facts of the case.

[00:10:36]And then shooting occurred later.

[00:10:53]Okay, and what's this uh other uh person Ford, last name Ford?

[00:11:01]>> My effort was also in the house but did not get shot.

[00:11:05]They were uninjured.

[00:11:10]What did you want to say?

[00:11:12]I want to say I apologize to the whole community in the courtroom. I also apologize for being on the necessary apologize the victim of what took place the hearing was the victim of what took place. days and all that and since then I've committed my wrongs to right but as I said 8 months I can sit in Justice of the County Justice of the County going to AA, going to church, and going to talking to mental health.

[00:11:38]I can be out in 6 months if you give me a chance to prove it.

[00:11:46]Okay, um what about this uh drug usage that I keep reading about in here? What's that all about?

[00:11:54]>> I was taking four lines of drinking liquor, smoking marijuana at the time.

[00:11:57]We can't hear you and I can't hear you.

[00:11:59]I was taking four lines of drinking liquor, smoking marijuana I can't hear you. I was drinking liquor, taking four lines of drinking smoking weed at the time.

[00:12:09]Do you see anything wrong with that? I do. Yes, sir. Because we have marijuana use we on the marijuana when did you start using marijuana? Marijuana I was 15 when I started taking How old were you? 15.

[00:12:24]This is 14 in the pre-sentence report.

[00:12:27]Uh where were you getting marijuana from at 14 years of age? My cousin.

[00:12:32]I'm sorry? My cousins Your cousins gave it to you? Well, what are families for?

[00:12:38]Well, that's terrible.

[00:12:40]They're not supposed to cause you to commit crimes which is terrible.

[00:12:47]What about Xanax? When did you start using that? 18.

[00:12:51]Okay, how old are you now?

[00:12:53]18. Okay.

[00:12:55]And this ecstasy what about that one? 18.

[00:12:59]18.

[00:13:02]And where are you getting these illegal drugs from?

[00:13:06]Where? Like in the South Park something in the area.

[00:13:10]The South Bank area.

[00:13:12]Marijuana.

[00:13:14]They're just there for anybody to purchase, right?

[00:13:19]Yeah.

[00:13:21]Well, you don't read about that on the Chamber of Commerce uh reports uh because it's something that's shameful.

[00:13:30]It's it's criminal and but you know that.

[00:13:34]Right? Yes, sir.

[00:13:36]Okay, so what did you do here in this event where you're charged with all these crimes? What exactly did you do that was wrong?

[00:13:47]The auto that I reported my apologies. Okay, so The auto that I did not report it.

[00:13:55]What what was it that was criminal? What was the bad things that happened that you were part of?

[00:14:00]The shooting, the drug use, the car accident.

[00:14:08]It looks like uh this uh Tell me about the the vehicle uh the the attempt you did you did according to this indictment.

[00:14:27]You're going to interrupt me?

[00:14:31]Because she can't take down both of us speaking.

[00:14:35]Let me see.

[00:14:39]Okay, um in 23 CR2222 uh this is the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the indictment that you pleaded guilty to in April. It states that you intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly caused bodily injury to another person by using an automobile, namely a deadly weapon.

[00:15:05]So, uh that means you've inferred that uh according to this pre-sentence report that you attempted to run over somebody with the car. That's what you pleaded guilty to under oath, right? Yes, sir.

[00:15:21]Do you see anything wrong with that?

[00:15:22]Yes, sir. Uh okay. I mean, that's why people get killed, right? It's a 4,000-lb missile and when you run over someone 4,000 lbs is going to squash them Yes, sir. and do terrible tissue damage.

[00:15:38]Then the other cases you uh uh are accused of uh shooting uh this person with a firearm but you weren't the one holding the firearm but you knew somebody was with you with the firearms and you were driving the car and you were part of When you're through interrupting, I'll speak.

[00:16:08]You were part of the whole plan by striking people, going after people uh to heart harm them and you have uh people with you who were It looks like several [clears throat] people in the vehicle including someone shooting them uh uh an assault rifle at others.

[00:16:39]See, there's approximately 10 bullet holes in the front east side of a home.

[00:16:46]Three bullet holes in the south side of the house. My goodness.

[00:16:50]So we're driving over people, we're shooting at homes.

[00:16:58]You You got to see terrible things. I mean, that's no way to be living in a city, right?

[00:17:07]Okay, all right.

[00:17:18]And then these drugs, where are you getting these drugs from?

[00:17:21]From neighbors or just myself or Gary.

[00:17:26]I know I have no intention of using again.

[00:17:32]Well, it's I know you're you're saying you are remorseful and you don't have any intention of doing this. So, how do you take back what's already been done?

[00:17:41]You can't undo that, can you? Okay, and well, it has a price that you have to pay.

[00:17:47]I mean, this is just my goodness, but terrible like terrorism in the middle of the city which is happening too often.

[00:17:57]Okay.

[00:17:59]Well, what's the state asking for?

[00:18:01]8 years in town. And uh Mr. Lewis, go ahead. You can end.

[00:18:07]Well, judge, we're asking that she is placed on deferred adjudication. She's more than willing any conditions that the court will deem appropriate or the pool of probation will deem appropriate.

[00:18:18]Uh in in this matter I think like I said before I think there's several vehicles available through probation that she can definitely benefit from to not to not ever be in a situation like this again.

[00:18:30]Help her to help her to not be in a situation like this again.

[00:18:33]And uh and I think she will she uh is one who like I said before who got their future is still salvageable. So, where they can still they can still pick themselves up and move on.

[00:18:48]>> [clears throat] >> All right.

[00:18:53]Anything else to add? No.

[00:18:56]All right, what in conclusion what the court uh is looking at here is you are looking at 60 years in prison from all of these cases. Do you understand?

[00:19:09]60 years in prison. Because each crime here has its own punishment, right?

[00:19:16]Somehow your uh attorney has remarkably fashioned a a deal where the worst you can get is the maximum you can get is 8 years in prison and those are to run concurrently to each other. So he's gone from the exposure of 60 years in prison to uh 8 years which is remarkable.

[00:19:39]But the uh problem here with your uh cases and your involvement here is we're using deadly weapons, vehicles, guns and shooting at homes, uh driving, hitting people with vehicles on the street. I mean, it's just lawless. It's violent. It's incr- It's the thing movies are made of, and it shouldn't be in our town. It happens, but when it happens, people have to know when you're going to commit violent acts where people can get killed easily with a deadly weapon.

[00:20:18]That it has consequences.

[00:20:21]And you can't say, "Well, I can always fall back on that deferred probation where I'm going to get probation and not be found guilty."

[00:20:28]These are bad. This is a three And what was actually a four case is going to be dismissed that was indicted, which was another uh deadly conduct, which is a third-degree felony.

[00:20:51]>> [clears throat] >> I'm going to uh make the findings as follows, that in each of these cases, and this is 23 CR 1738, 1739, and 2222, you have pleaded guilty voluntarily. You were mentally competent to do so. You understand and appreciate the consequences of pleading guilty. There's sufficient evidence supporting your guilty pleas from state's exhibit one admitted in each of these cases to find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and I now find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in these cases. I am following these agreements. You are hereby sentenced to confinement in the institutional division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to serve a term of 8 years in each case. These will all run concurrently together.

[00:21:34]In each of these judgments, the judgments will reflect that deadly weapons, namely a firearm, were used in cause numbers 1739 and 1738, and in 2222, a deadly weapon, namely an automobile, was used in the commission of that crime.

[00:21:56]It's really hard to uh th- This is just terrorism. Uh and it's hard for these violent acts, which uh it's remarkable that there wasn't a uh a group of people killed, and that's what keeps you from looking at life imprisonment on each event.

[00:22:16]Uh so, it's clear the message we're trying to send is This is clear that this is uh behavior that is unacceptable, and and you can't blame it on voluntary drug use that you elected to choose, and the group of people that you elected to run around with.

[00:22:38]Ag- Again, we're shooting at homes, driving and hitting people with vehicles.

[00:22:44]That has its consequence, and you are punished therefore.

[00:22:49]All right. Do you understand what has happened today?

[00:22:52]Okay. Good luck to you. You'll be given credit, of course, with for all time you have served.

[00:22:59]>> [music]
