JUDGE BOYD YOU CUSSED OUT YOUR PROBATION & NOW YOU'RE BACK HERE AGAIN!

[00:00:00]And you using profanity towards a probation officer is not helping your case at all.

[00:00:05]>> And I understand that. And the reason why I did and I didn't I just said the f word because he called me a liar and when I didn't lie to him about any situation that was going on.

[00:00:17]>> Court is calling 2024 CR2336 state of Texas versus Laretta Nicole Holmes. Could I have parties announce for the record? for the state >> defense.

[00:00:29]>> Greg Daring, >> are you Miss Holmes?

[00:00:32]>> All right. Jim need to speak up so the court reporter can hear.

[00:00:35]>> Did you review the document entitled application for uh community supervision or deferred adjudication with your attorney?

[00:00:42]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:00:42]>> Did you understand it?

[00:00:44]>> Yes, sir.

[00:00:44]>> Did you sign it?

[00:00:45]>> Yes, sir.

[00:00:46]>> Council, have you received all the discovery?

[00:00:48]>> I have. Judge, >> have you reviewed it with your client?

[00:00:50]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:00:51]>> Court will find that the state is in compliance with discovery.

[00:00:54]Miss Holmes, did you review the document entitled True Bill of Indictment with your attorney?

[00:00:59]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:01:00]>> Did you understand it?

[00:01:01]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:01:02]>> Council, do you weigh the reading of the indictment?

[00:01:04]>> We do, your honor.

[00:01:05]>> State, are you proceeding on the indictment as presented?

[00:01:08]>> Did you understand you're charged with injury to the elderly, bodily injury, that's a thirdderee felony. Range of punishment is anywhere from 2 to 10 years in prison and up to $10,000 fine.

[00:01:19]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:01:20]>> If you have a plea with the state, the court does not have to follow your plea.

[00:01:23]If for any reason the court does not follow your plea and gives you more than you bargain for, the fact that you entered a plea will not be used against you and you will be allowed to withdraw your plea. Did you understand?

[00:01:33]>> Yes.

[00:01:34]>> Did you understand you have a right to jury trial, a right for you or your attorney to cross-examine and confront any witnesses the state would call and the right to remain silent?

[00:01:43]>> Yes.

[00:01:43]>> Did you understand by entering this plea you were giving up those rights?

[00:01:47]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:01:47]>> And did you intend to give up these rights and enter into a plea?

[00:01:51]>> Yes, ma'am. Did you understand that the court were to grant your application for deferred adjudication? If for any reason your deferred adjudication were revoked, the court could find you guilty, sentence you up to 10 years in prison, and up to $10,000 fine. We're back on the record. Council, has your client been able to provide you with any defenses?

[00:02:07]>> She has. Judge, >> do you believe she has a rational as well as a factual understanding of the charges against her?

[00:02:12]>> I believe she does, John.

[00:02:13]>> Do you believe she's currently competent and was legally sane at the time of the offense?

[00:02:17]>> Yes, ma'am. Miss Holmes, has anyone threatened you, coerced you, or place you in fear to get you to enter the plea?

[00:02:22]>> No. No.

[00:02:22]>> Anyone promised you anything other than the plea?

[00:02:26]>> Are you satisfied with the way you've been represented?

[00:02:29]>> Yes, I am.

[00:02:30]>> I'm sorry. What?

[00:02:31]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:02:33]>> Then to the offenses charge, how do you plea?

[00:02:36]>> No contest.

[00:02:37]>> State any evidence?

[00:02:40]>> No objection, John.

[00:02:42]>> And state, have you conferred or spoken to the complainant?

[00:02:44]>> Yes.

[00:02:46]>> All right. Thank you. You may be excused. Did you review the document entitled wavering consent and stipulation of testimony and stipulations with your attorney? Did you understand it?

[00:02:56]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:02:56]>> Did you sign it in all the appropriate places?

[00:02:59]>> Yes.

[00:02:59]>> Again, did you understand you have a right to jury trial, a right for you or your attorney to cross-examine and confront any witnesses the state would call in the right to remain silent?

[00:03:08]>> Yes. Did you understand that today the state will be presenting evidence in the form of witnesses statements and police reports but most importantly there will be no live testimony. Did you understand? Court will find that defendant has knowingly and voluntarily waved and consented to stipulation of testimony and stipulations. Court will accept into evidence states exhibits one and attachments and the court will review the same.

[00:03:31]After reviewing states exhibits one and attachments, the court will find there's sufficient evidence to find you guilty.

[00:03:37]Court will defer finding of guilt as you applied for deferred adjudication. Are you proceeding with sentencing?

[00:03:43]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:03:44]>> Anything you wish to say on behalf of your client?

[00:03:46]>> Yes, your honor. My client has obviously since this case heard back in July of 22. Uh she's obviously stayed out of trouble, your honor. She's been to court. Uh she is going to school. She's becoming a business nevertheless >> esthetician. She well currently she works as an esotician which is my understanding is skin care.

[00:04:08]>> Um and that's what she does for a living but she's also going back to school uh to get her degree in business administration. Um she has two children a 15-year-old a 17-year-old that she takes care of and this is a difficult case obviously for her judge. Um this is a true no contest ple and this is what she believes is in her best interest. uh she wants to get off probation as soon as possible, do everything she can, your honor. So, we just ask you to grant this and let get closure on this.

[00:04:40]>> All right. So, Miss Holmes, you understand when people ask you to leave their property, whether you think you're being evicted legally or not, it's always best to leave and then just handle things civily. So, if this were a case where you didn't think u you were being evicted properly, all you had to do was you know what, I'm going to file a civil case and it appears that it is not a civil case that would be filed in district court based upon uh what the amount is. So, you would just go to one of the JP courts and you just file it.

[00:05:13]And there are plenty of people who file that every day and that's how you solve that as opposed to coming here. Now you have all of these extra fees and you have this. You understand?

[00:05:25]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:05:28]>> So, of course, I always have to ask this question.

[00:05:32]The piercings underneath the lip, were those painful?

[00:05:35]>> No, ma'am. Okay.

[00:05:36]>> I didn't get them at the same time either. I got them over a period of time.

[00:05:41]>> So, what order did they did you get them? What What was the first one?

[00:05:44]>> I had got this one I was like 16. Then I got this one. I was like 19 and then I just got this one and it just compliments when I smile.

[00:05:53]>> Oh, okay. I'm always wondering. And the tattoos, what are the symbols for those?

[00:05:59]>> Um, it's really not too much of a symbol. Butterflies, music symbol. I play the piano.

[00:06:06]>> Oh, wow.

[00:06:06]>> Um, Bible verses. I grew up in the church.

[00:06:11]See, I always wanted to play the piano and I was going to take it as an elective in college because everybody's like, "It's an easy elective." Okay, I'm in a class that's supposed to be for beginners. Everybody in there had a piano at their home and had been playing forever. They were truly taking it as >> Yes.

[00:06:30]>> I couldn't even answer because our professor would say, "In order to answer the roll call, you had to pay play the note he wanted you to play." I'm like, "Yeah, I'm out of it."

[00:06:40]>> That class.

[00:06:41]>> H I dropped it, but I dropped it before they were going to give me a W. I saw the writing on the wall >> before the end of the week. I was like, "No, >> Judge, as you know, YouTube that want to learn the piano, YouTube will teach you immediately."

[00:06:56]>> All right, we're going to see. Well, don't don't put uh professors out of business.

[00:07:02]>> All right, so uh you're currently employed. Okay. So, this is what the court is going to do. The court is going to sentence you to 2 years deferred adjudication take in consideration 2023 CR8418 and state. Do you have that?

[00:07:22]There's going to be regular reporting by Zoom. Thank you. There will be regular random UAS.

[00:07:31]Always have to tell people who are new to probation. When you're on probation, you're not allowed to drink alcohol at all, even at your own home. There's you're not allowed to do marijuana even at your own home. Because what that's going to result in is that going to result in a positive UA. And people think these are my rules. These are the rules that the legislators have put in place. So, if you're UA today, is everything going to be fine?

[00:07:57]>> All right. What's going to be in your system?

[00:08:00]>> All right. So, we're going to do random UAS and we're going to test for levels.

[00:08:05]So, those levels need to start going down. You understand? Yes, sir.

[00:08:09]>> And do not if if they file a motion to revoke because your levels are increasing. Do not come back to the court saying you were around people who were smoking because you have children.

[00:08:18]You shouldn't be around people who are smoking because it gets in your clothes and children end up smelling like marijuana. their clothes smell like marijuana and then children who are at school tend to tease them and we don't want that.

[00:08:32]There is to be 150 hours of community service restitution.

[00:08:36]>> May I speak to that, judge?

[00:08:38]>> Yes.

[00:08:38]>> Is it possible uh if she can show semester grades going towards her business administration degree that can satisfy some of that community service?

[00:08:48]>> I was just about to say.

[00:08:49]>> Thank you, judge.

[00:08:50]>> Thank you. of the community service.

[00:08:53]Yeah, we're we're here. The community service hours will be waved >> once she provides proof of her BA. And honestly, you should be able to finish that hopefully before your uh community supervision has expired. But if you show the court that you're actually taking classes, and when I say take classes, your attorney know I will mean this, not just one class a semester. You understand? And I understand that you work. I understand that you have children. So for you, it's going to have to be at least four hours a semester and that's not fulltime. For this court, at least 8 hours is full time. But because of everything that you have going on in your life, uh probation, she needs to do at least 4 hours per semester. There's to be anger management.

[00:09:42]>> There's to be no contact with John Ripley. All right. Did you review the document entitled Trial Court Certification of Defendants? rights to appeal with your attorney. Did you understand it and did you sign it?

[00:09:54]>> Yes.

[00:09:55]>> Because this is a plea bargain agreement because I followed your plea bargain agreement and because you wave your right to appeal, you do not have the court's permission to appeal off the record in this court to be successful on probation. Communication is key. If you have an issue, let your probation officer uh know about it. If you feel as though your probation officer isn't addressing it, you can always come back to uh the court and we'll take it up.

[00:10:19]All right. Do you have any questions?

[00:10:22]>> All right. Good luck to you.

[00:10:23]>> Thank you, Judge. Be excused.

[00:10:25]>> Yes. Once she she talks to probation. Uh Laretta Holmes.

[00:10:33]>> Hello.

[00:10:35]Oh, so here's the thing. When someone says hello, there's usually a response back. So, let me just tell you what's going on. You're being rude and disrespectful to your probation officer.

[00:10:44]You act like you're not on probation.

[00:10:46]When I say there's to be no contact, there's to be no contact. And now you're using profanity towards probation officer like you're not on probation and that this is somehow his fault. It is not. It's all your fault. You're here because you're on deferred adjudication for injuring someone who's an elderly person.

[00:11:06]That's why you're here. You're not on probation because he placed you on probation. You're not on probation because he committed a crime and you're taking the time for him. You're here because of your actions and you're acting as though none of this is your fault. This is all your fault. 100%.

[00:11:20]>> I'm not acting like none of this my fault and I take accountability for what I've done.

[00:11:25]>> No, you have not taken accountability.

[00:11:26]Did you take accountability for using profanity towards him? No.

[00:11:30]>> No, I didn't.

[00:11:32]And I don't know why people think that when you're in a situation where you should be using logic to find what or using your cognitive skills to decide how I'm going to proceed with this.

[00:11:44]Instead, you go after your probation officer. And the probation officer, let's be honest, every uh defense attorney will tell you a probation officer holds your life in their hands because you know what? You're, let's say you're supposed to report to probation at 9:00 a.m. and you end up reporting at 9:05. Guess what? You have not reported at 9:00 a.m. A probation officer say, "Hey, that's a no report." But sometimes they may take sympathy on you and say, "H, I realize what's going on. They're here." But they don't have to do that.

[00:12:16]And you using profanity towards a probation officer is not helping your case at all.

[00:12:20]>> And I understand that. Then the reason why I did and I didn't I just said the f word because he called me a liar and when I didn't lie to him about any situation that was going on. I sent him all the information from my legal aid lawyer. I sent him everything. He even gave me his personal number for me to contact him when I had to go to the emergency room and had to get the blood transfusion. He even offered to take me there.

[00:12:47]>> He called.

[00:12:48]>> This is not your blood. This is not about your blood. I know my blood, but it's he he basically when I went to go see him, he was telling me that I lied to him, which I never lied to him about anything.

[00:12:59]>> No, no, no, no. This starts with you wanting to go to a location where I said, "You are not allowed to have contact." That's where all of this came up. Then everything snowballs into something else.

[00:13:10]>> Yes, ma'am. And I did exactly what you told me to. I didn't go to that location. I follow my police reports. I did everything that I could just without going to that location.

[00:13:21]>> So then that was it. I don't know what what do you expect him to do?

[00:13:27]>> Like here's I like for people to just put their cards on their their table.

[00:13:33]Sometimes people are like ah [clears throat] judge. But I like everybody to have an understand. So, you go to him because you want to go to a location and retrieve items. When I told you you couldn't go to that location, so we're back to the point. What did you want him to do?

[00:13:49]>> I asked him if was there any assistance or any way that I could. He told me, "I don't know."

[00:13:55]>> He told me he didn't know. He couldn't help me. So, I didn't have no other choice but to call the police, make a police report. I had my daughter, she was 16 years old, to go to go there.

[00:14:06]when she went there, she took pictures of everything that was outside.

[00:14:11]>> All right. So, again, what did you want him to do? He said, "Hey, I don't know.

[00:14:15]There's nothing I can do for you."

[00:14:16]>> When I contacted Miss uh Adams, she told me to ask my professional if there's any assistance that he can help me or provide without going to that location.

[00:14:27]>> And he's saying no.

[00:14:28]>> And he said no. And I told him, I don't have no other choice. My my children is 16 and 18. They didn't have the money.

[00:14:37]They don't have money for you all. My daughter just quit her job because no one was able to take her to work. So, I didn't have no nobody else to help me.

[00:14:47]>> So, again, I don't know how this translates into you using profanity against him. He's like, I can't help you. And honestly, it's not his job to help you get your things. Really, you know what a probation officer's job really is? and they'll correct me if I'm wrong, but their job is to make sure that you abide by your conditions.

[00:15:04]Everything else that they're doing is just extra, but that's not their job.

[00:15:09]It's not, for example, if you can't pay your utilities. It's not their job to to find places for you to pay utilities, they'll do it. They'll say, "Here are some places that you can call."

[00:15:22]But that's not his job. And if he tells you, "I can't help you with getting your things." Again, we're back to the point.

[00:15:28]He says, "I can't help you. So, what do you want me to do?" He's like, "I can't help you."

[00:15:34]>> How does that translate into using profanity against him? And then telling him, sending him an email telling him all this is his fault and it's on his shoulders. It's not. All of this happened because of you. Guess what? You can't go to that location because you injured an elderly person. That's why it's all your fault. And there are consequences for all our actions.

[00:16:00]>> And I communicated with him. I told him everything. I sent every case number. I even sent him my legal aid information.

[00:16:07]I sent everything. I tried to do everything the right way before he even went out of hand.

[00:16:12]>> But see, here's what you don't understand. And you're not internalizing what I'm saying. He is telling you, "I can't help you with that." And you still keep going back to him. He's already told you, "I can't help you with that."

[00:16:24]giving him numbers to your legal aid.

[00:16:26]Giving him numbers to this person saying, "We're trying to help her get her things." He can't help you with that. His whole role is to supervise you on probation. That's it.

[00:16:37]He can't say, "You know what I'm going to do? I tell you what, let me go over there and get your things for you." He can't do that. That's not his job. Now, if he offers to do that, great. But he doesn't have to. He has told you more than once, I cannot help you with that.

[00:16:53]I I still don't understand how that goes and translates into you using profanity against him. His job is hard as it is.

[00:17:01]And then to have somebody come in and use profanity against them, that's an issue. And then to have you go into that location when you know you're not supposed to, that's an issue.

[00:17:11]>> I never did go to the location. I didn't I had to call the police from a different location to make >> All right. So you called the police and then what happened?

[00:17:19]>> I made the police report. I've went down to um the property. I've also went down to 315 the headquarters to fill out all the information because the day I was arrested, everything was stolen. My car, my credit cards, everything. So, I'm trying to do the everything that I have to do the best way that I can, the right way.

[00:17:44]>> All right. The right way is not using profanity against your probation officer. That's not the right way. The right way is not being disrespectful.

[00:17:51]And you know what? This whole thing with the injury to the elderly where I order anger management, you do have an anger problem because when people tell you no, you can't accept that. You take it to 100.

[00:18:04]He said, "I can't help you with that."

[00:18:06]And then you use profanity against him.

[00:18:08]You're calling him all sorts of names.

[00:18:10]Nobody likes to be called out there given name.

[00:18:13]>> I didn't call him out his name. I just said it was fine. I didn't have no other choice. So, I would have to >> No, no, no. We're not here because you said it was just fine. Where is the officer?

[00:18:25]>> Could you come forward, please?

[00:18:27]>> Might want to do it.

[00:18:32]>> All right. So, you're Officer Wolf.

[00:18:34]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:18:35]>> All right. So, let me ask you a question. Are you able to go to to her former location and get her items for her?

[00:18:44]>> No.

[00:18:44]>> No, ma'am.

[00:18:46]>> That's your answer? No. Are you able to file a police report for her so she can get her items?

[00:18:50]>> No, ma'am.

[00:18:51]>> So, he can't do that. So, what do you want from him?

[00:18:55]>> I have to do it on my own. So, there's nothing he can help me with. And that's >> Well, see, that's the thing. Now, when you're before me and you're looking at potentially going to prison now, you're like, "Oh, well, I he can't help me with that." He's told you that. Be an adult.

[00:19:09]Solve your own problems. This is supposed to be problem solving. That's how why you're on probation for anger management issues because you can't problem solve. I don't know, maybe you never were taught to problem solve. But if he's telling you no, he can't do that. That's not in his job description, then there's no need to use profanity against him. He's told you I can't do it.

[00:19:32]>> Judge, if I could Yes.

[00:19:33]>> for a minute. Um, throughout my time working with Miss Holmes, it's been pretty apparent that she has a pattern of not taking responsibility or accountability for her behavior. Um, this last incident just kind of made it painfully obvious how there's a deeper issue.

[00:19:56]>> There's a heart issue. um until she can uh get her heart right this pattern of of behavior is going to continue for her throughout her life.

[00:20:10]>> Mhm.

[00:20:10]>> Um and she's going to continue to be a danger to herself, to the community, to her victims, everybody. She she needs to get her heart right and realize that choices and actions have consequences, good and bad, unended and anticipated, unanticipated, and until she gets her heart right and realizes that this is just going to continue.

[00:20:41]>> Right. Thank you so much and thank you for coming down.

[00:20:44]>> Yes, ma'am. So, you're going to have to start using your cognitive skills and your problem solving.

[00:20:54]That's it.

[00:20:56]When somebody tells you they can't do something, then they can't do it. If somebody tells you no, I can't take you to the grocery store today, figure it out. He is not really responsible for anything outside of his job description. If he does something outside of his job description, that's just probation officers being nice.

[00:21:16]>> And I understand that. But why would you offer to try to help me when I'm asking for some type of help and then you tell me you can't help me?

[00:21:27]>> Yeah. He said no. And let me just tell you, here's a perfect example. And I' I've been in situations where people have told me no. And my thing is, I want you to not send me place to place. If the answer is no, just tell me no and I'll figure it out. He told you no. If I ask him right now, like for example, I had to rush here this morning cuz I don't like being late and I was filling in for somebody else on another matter and guess what?

[00:21:58]My tank is at a fourth. I don't like it being at a fourth. Now, would somebody go, "Excuse me, could you go and put gas in my car for me?" They're going to say, "No." Now, what do I do with that? Do I use profanity against him? How dare you not go put gas in my car? He's just told me no. So, guess what? As an adult, I got to figure it out.

[00:22:23]That's it. You got to figure it out. and you're figuring it out is let me get angry with somebody and use profanity against them and maybe they'll then become so afraid of something and say, "Okay, we'll do that for you." Not his job. And I can tell you right now, if you don't start treating people with respect, one, you're not going to get anywhere because when you disrespect people, they don't want to help you.

[00:22:48]>> And I'm just >> And number two, respect.

[00:22:51]>> No, you did not. That's the thing.

[00:22:52]you're still in this clouds like these are not I don't know how your relationships are outside of this world but in this world you need to treat people with respect whether you respect them or not like right now you can hate my guts all you want to but you have better say your honor or judge you understand you better not be calling me out of my given name and you better not be calling probation officers out of your given name I'm sure he told you no I cannot help you. And when somebody says, "No, I cannot help you with something." Eh, maybe you want to ask them again. You ask them again. If you ask the third time, you're begging and he's already told you he can't help you with that.

[00:23:33]That is not his job. That is outside his job description. If he decides to help you outside of his job description, just just him being nice. You need to figure it out.

[00:23:45]The same way people have children and you figured out how to have children, you need to figure out how to get the rest of your life together. You're on probation because of your actions. And honestly, the reports I received, I will tell you when I received that report, I told them, "Follow motion to revoke."

[00:24:04]And then probation came to me and said, "Judge, could we do a compliance hearing and have her come in?" And I'm like, you know, if you all want to do a compliance hearing, we will do a compliance hearing. So, this is the last time I'm having this conversation with you, telling you you need to be respectful to people and you need to learn how to problem solve. How old are you?

[00:24:26]>> 33.

[00:24:27]>> You're 33 year old. You figured out how to get all of those piercings, right? You figured out how to get the nails. You figured all of that out on your own. You need to figure this out on your own.

[00:24:40]Is there anything else you need from me?

[00:24:43]>> No.

[00:24:44]>> All right. Does she need to When is your next report date?

[00:24:49]>> And are you employed?

[00:24:51]>> You told me I had 30 days to find a job.

[00:24:54]I had a business, but all my stuff is gone.

[00:24:56]>> All right. So, that'll be a no. So, Miss Ferguson?

[00:24:59]>> Yeah.

[00:25:00]>> Recall her for the week of August 11th, and I'm going to see how you're doing on probation. What date? I can do that that Monday the 11th.

[00:25:11]>> All right. So, you're coming back on August 11th for me to get a report on what's going on.

[00:25:17]Uh if you'll give her a reset form.

[00:25:20]>> Uh probation.

[00:25:22]>> Yes. Judge.

[00:25:22]>> Uh when is her next report date with you?

[00:25:25]>> I have an appointment set right now. Um from Officer Wolf's information, she was supposed to be reporting. He wrote on paper July 9th >> twice a month.

[00:25:40]>> July 9th.

[00:25:41]>> That's what he wrote on the paper.

[00:25:42]>> All right. So, she said her next court I mean her next appointment date with him is July 9th. All right.

[00:25:47]>> To confirm um Mr. Wolf was mentioning that the guest is supposed to have been installed as well, but that she did not have it.

[00:25:58]>> All right. I don't have nowhere to say no address.

[00:26:04]It was it was ordered June 5th. Um and it was supposed to work on the fees partial for explain.

[00:26:15]>> All right. So um if you all could give her a list of places for her to find uh housing and then uh we're going to come back on August 11th and by August 11th you need to have the GPS on.

[00:26:30]All right. The court is calling 2024 CR2336 state versus Larietta Holmes. Could I have parties announce >> Charles Bunk for Miss Holmes?

[00:26:43]>> And are you Miss Holmes?

[00:26:44]>> Yes, sir.

[00:26:45]>> Yes.

[00:26:45]>> Did you review the document entitled motion to enter adjudication of guilt and revoke community supervision with your attorney? Did you understand that?

[00:26:53]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:26:55]Are you the same Laretta Nicole Holmes who was placed on deferred adjudication in 2024 CR2334 for the offense of injury to elderly bodily injury on June 13, 2024 for a period of two years. Is that you?

[00:27:09]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:27:10]>> All right. State >> violation of condition number 39 in Fair County, Texas. The defendant Laretta Nicole Holmes did in their fail to attend and provide verification of sober support/alcohol anonymous/narcotic anonymous meetings for the month of April 2026 and dilution.

[00:27:31]>> How do you plead to that? True or not true?

[00:27:33]>> True.

[00:27:37]>> Any objections to the waivers?

[00:27:38]>> No, judge. Did you understand by pleading true to violation of condition number 39, the court could find it true, grant the motion, find you guilty, sentence you up to 10 years in the prison, and up to $10,000 fine?

[00:27:50]>> Yes, sir.

[00:27:51]>> Knowing that, do you still wish to plead true to violation of condition number 39?

[00:27:55]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:27:55]>> Court will find violation of condition number 39 true. Is there a proposed agreement?

[00:28:02]>> Yes, your honor. The agreement for the court's consideration is thought. The court decide this week's motion extend with defendants of supervision an additional six months uh place her on the intensive supervision ISP tracked uh order that she attend intensive outpatient treatment bi-weekly year analysis for six days and the proof of enrollment in her school program.

[00:28:30]>> All right. Is that the proposed agreement?

[00:28:33]>> Yes, judge. and her probation officer already has her school paperwork. So, that part has been >> provided.

[00:28:40]>> And do you all have um any objections to the court reviewing the court summary?

[00:28:45]>> No.

[00:28:45]>> All right. So, here's the thing. I don't know if you're ever going to be able to successfully complete this probation.

[00:28:51]You keep coming back and it's always something else and some reason why you can't complete this and some reason why you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. So, I'm going to give you a choice. These are your only two choices.

[00:29:06]Uh number one, I'll revoke you. I'll sentence you to two years in the prison or I'll continue you um and I'll follow the recommendation. Which do you prefer?

[00:29:19]>> So you and I follow follow the recommendations.

[00:29:23]>> All right. So why are you not doing what you're supposed to be doing? Can you raise your right hand? Do you solemnly swear affirm the testimony you give will be the truth and nothing but the truth help you God? Yes, >> you can lower lay your hands. State your name for the record.

[00:29:35]>> Larry the homes.

[00:29:36]>> All right. Why are you not doing what you're supposed to be doing?

[00:29:38]>> Well, I I did do the four of the sob classes. My operation officer was going to give me um a bus pass so I can continue to the glasses. But on the six when she had me the last uh UA, she didn't give me any information about she.

[00:29:59]>> Okay, let me ask you this. Are you able to go to the grocery store?

[00:30:02]>> Sometimes.

[00:30:04]>> All right. So, here's my thing. If it's important to you, you treat it like it's important.

[00:30:11]Probation is not obligated to give people bus passes.

[00:30:16]So, are you telling me if you if you don't receive a bus pass, then hey, I just can't do this. I'm not going to do this.

[00:30:21]>> No, I'm not saying that if I don't receive, I just can't do it.

[00:30:25]>> Oh, walk.

[00:30:26]>> Yeah, that's that's a long walk. And I have no point in doing. No, I know it's a long walk. There are children in different countries. I was just watching a documentary. They walk five miles to school every day. And I'm coming to you as a person who and and your attorney will tell you I didn't have a vehicle when I first started practicing law. I walked. Guess what? You know the distance in 100 degree heat in San Antonio from here to the Bear County Jail wearing a business suit in heels.

[00:30:59]Guess what? I did that. I didn't have a vehicle. Nobody was giving me a bus pass. I figured it out. And you are in a precarious position because you're looking at 10 years in prison and your whole thing is well I didn't get a bus pass but we we find ways to do other things. We find ways to get extra piercings because every time I see you, there's a different piercing. We we find ways to get our nails done, but we can't do the conditions.

[00:31:26]So, I will uh follow your agreement because this is what's recommended by uh probation and the state is following the recommendation and they've negotiated with your council for this. So, uh, court will deny alternate men conditions to include six months extension.

[00:31:49]And if you would have done everything, you would have been done with this probation this month.

[00:31:54]>> Uh, tomorrow.

[00:31:55]>> Yeah. And because you haven't, you're still on paper.

[00:32:01]uh IOP and ISP there's to be bi-weekly UAS for 60 days and she's already provided proof of school. Is that correct?

[00:32:13]>> But I've been told yes.

[00:32:19]>> So we'll provide it again.

[00:32:21]>> All right. That needs to be pro proof of school needs provided. And Norma >> set this for an update. Um, Paul, are you going to be here the second week in July?

[00:32:33]>> Yes.

[00:32:34]>> All right. Set this for a status. Second week in July, please.

[00:32:39]>> Yes.

[00:32:39]>> Oh, this like that 7th, 8th, 9th. No, the week after.

[00:32:43]>> Yes.

[00:32:43]>> The 13th.

[00:32:44]>> 13th is No, I get back on the 14th.

[00:32:48]>> 16th is fine.

[00:32:49]>> All right. We're going to come back.

[00:32:50]>> I'm at MDN. I'm I'm out of town the 16th.

[00:32:52]>> Okay. Uh, which date?

[00:32:54]>> 15th.

[00:32:55]>> Wednesday. Oh, we can do it that or we can do it the towards the end of uh July >> 30th is fine.

[00:33:01]>> All right. So, we'll put it for July 30th. Sure.

[00:33:04]>> So, you're going to come back here on July 30th and on July 30th, you had better have started on all of this and completed this. And if they you need to bring with you proof of your school enrollment just in case they say, "Hey, we haven't received it." Because sometimes there are different probation officers and you had better bring to me sober support meetings. Do you understand?

[00:33:28]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:33:29]>> And so between here and now, um I'm going to ask for uh sober support meetings one time per week. So you bring proof of that to me. And with the sober support meetings, they are all over the city. You can do them anywhere.

[00:33:47]Do you understand?

[00:33:50]>> All right. Is there anything else?

[00:33:52]Something else you need from the court?

[00:33:54]No.

[00:33:57]All right. Thank you, >> honorable [music] trait. Never blowing [singing] smoke when she gets she's quick to cast straight. [music] Love her on a good day. Love her on a bad day. [singing] Either way, she's here to stay. Call up only [music] Lucy. Poly only Lucy. Poly only [music] Lucy.
