Judge Raquel West SLAMS Disrespectful Defendant During Probation Hearing With 2 Year Jail Sentence!Added:
Mr. Jenkins, sorry we're boring you, but if I hear you yawning out loud again, it's not going to be good. Sit up. Pay attention. Wake up. This is all about you today.
Okay. So, in each of these motions, they were second amended motions to revoke unadjudicated probation. Mr. Jenkins pled true in each of those to counts 1 2 3 4 9 10 12 13 14 and 18 on probation uh for theft of a firearm in each case which are state jail felonies. Um is everyone ready to proceed? Thank you.
>> We are your honor. I' I'd like to put on the record what the offer is for him to reject the offer if I may.
>> Yes, sir.
>> It's my understanding that the offer is uh 20 months on the motion of probation and uh 10 years on the a robbery case um with a dismissal in the fraud the fraud case and Mr. Jenkins has indicated that he wants to reject that offer. I've indicated to him that state is likely to going to file a motion to stack those sentences in all three cases and and he's expressed to me that he wants to reject that.
>> Mr. Jenkins, um so I want to make sure you understand uh you've talked to Mr. Parker about all of that. Is that correct?
and we'll get through today these two MTRPs and then whatever happens on those after that. Um that aggravated robbery and the fraudulent use or possession of identifying information. I already did it. Um those will be set for trial. If you go to trial and a jury finds you guilty, then the state can request that I stack whatever punishment you get um then on top of what you get today. Do you understand? Yes, ma'am. and you want to reject that, go forward with this hearing and then we'll uh figure out a trial date for other cases. Is that what you want to do?
>> I'm sorry.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Okay. Um and so, Mr. Parker, I will allow you to um go forward with argument on punishment.
>> Your honor, I mean, this is this is on motion street vote probation. Um, [clears throat] and I mean the only thing I have to offer is that my client is set in jail.
And obviously I'm not the facts of the other alleged crimes, just his probation here, is that drugs has been a a problem for him, which is probation officer admitted to um, [snorts] and [clears throat] my client is set in jail for a considerable amount of time, which he's expressed to me, he's expressed to his probation officer. He's realized, I mean, he's been there for [snorts] several months and he's learned that these people that he hangs around aren't the right people for him. He wants to do better in life, be there for his family and I think some type of treatment and allow him to continue on probation is the best thing. Uh otherwise, I would um just defer to the court their decision.
>> Thank you, Mr. Parker. Mr. uh based on his activity in the jail, based on his activity when he's not in jail, uh all of the allegations that were found true, all of the new crimes that have been committed, uh continue him on probation after having successfully completed both tracks of ISF, uh just not be appropriate. We ask that you uh find him guilty, uh revoke his probation, and sentence him to 24 months in the state jail on each case.
>> Thank you, Mr. Smith.
So, Mr. Jenkins, one of the things that Mr. Parker said and that a lot of especially younger offenders come in here say is that they're hanging around the wrong people and that that's part of the problem. And what I typically see and more and more is that what and what I think you are as well is you are the wrong person.
Right? I mean, you're nobody's forcing you to do anything and everybody wants to do this and say that somebody else is at fault for being a a complete menace in our community, running around with guns, stealing from people, uh being part of a group that is that ends up shooting someone that terrorizes a family in the middle of the night.
You didn't have to be there. So, you are the bad person.
My only regret here truly is that I only have two years to give you and that that's not going to keep you off our streets long enough. [clears throat] It's It's ridiculous that you were given the opportunities that you were given when you got this probation. And I know what I said to you because I say it to everyone, especially you young ones. I'm sending you to ISF so that you can learn how to get out and be successful on probation. and you got out and you just running around with stealing and guns and shooting and all the bad things like you're living in the Wild West. And cause number 2239541, I'm going to find um again that you entered your please of truth to counts 1 2 3 4 9 10 12 13 14 and 18 freely and voluntarily. In addition um in cause number 2239210 find that you entered those same pleas true freely and voluntarily in each of those cases. Also make the findings that counts 5 6 7 11 15 16 19 and 20 are true. Find sufficient evidence at this time to find you guilty and in cause 39541 find you guilty of theft of a firearm. sentence you to a term of 24 months in the state jail prison. You do receive credit on that sentence for any time that you've been in custody that the law gives you the right to receive. Cause number 2239210 finds sufficient evidence to find you guilty and at this time finds you guilty of theft of a firearm, sentence you to a term of 24 months in the state jail prison. You will also receive credit on that sentence for any time that you've been in custody that the law gives you the right to receive. Um, give me just a second.
I need a certification.
Thanks. I'm going to hand you in just a minute. You'll need to sign it and then I'll give you a copy of a [clears throat] document called your certification of right to appeal. You do have some rights to appeal um this decision and this uh these findings today. You can talk to Mr. Parker about that. I'm also going to hand you a written admonishment regarding your ineligibility to possess a firearm or ammunition. Because of the judgments entered against you, you are ineligible under Texas law to possess a firearm or ammunition. Possession of a firearm or ammunition could lead to charges against you. Firearm is a legal term and you should read the written admonishment I provide you to see what devices qualify as a firearm. If you have questions about the laws that make you ineligible to possess a firearm or ammunition or about how long that lasts, you can also talk to Mr. Parker. Um what we'll do now is move those to uh the aggra robbery and the new fraudulent um use or possession of identifying information.
Uh we'll put it on one announcement docket. Um if it's not worked out at that point, then we'll get those set for trial um as quickly as possible.
>> Good morning, sir. Are you Trevor Green?
>> Yes.
>> And Mr. Reynolds, will your client wave the formal reading of the indictment?
>> He will.
Just excuse me before we get going. I'd like to point out that the uh grandmother of the victim is here in the courtroom today. Millie Stoker. She's not only the grandmother, but she's essentially [clears throat] acted as a mother figure for the defend for the victim in this case, raising him since he was like four days old.
>> 4 days old.
>> Okay.
>> And I've discussed [clears throat] the plea agreement with her and she's in agreement with this.
>> Thank you for being here, ma'am.
>> All right. So, Mr. Green. In cause number 25524, you're charged with a first-degree felony offense of murder from April 28th of 2025. And how do you plead to that charge?
>> Yes.
>> Are you pleading guilty freely and voluntarily?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> And are you pleading guilty because you did what they charged you with?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> I have here on the um computer some documents that have your signature on them that the states marked as exhibit number one. Before you sign these, did you go over them with Mr. Reynolds? And do you fully understand them?
>> And do you understand if I follow the agreement that you've made with the district attorney that you'll be waving or giving up any right to appeal?
>> Also, do you understand if you're not a US citizen that a plea of guilty or no contest may result in your deportation, exclusion from admission to the country, or denial of naturalization under federal law? State teners number one.
>> No objection. States one.
>> It's admitted. Is there any evidence that Mr. Green is not competent?
>> None to my knowledge.
>> And Mr. Green was charged as an adult, not certified. Correct.
>> He was charged as adult 17 prior to alleged.
