In one matter, the court set bond for Adrian Harper at $7,000 and ordered regular urine analyses and a referral to the Center for Healthcare Services. The court noted a pending motion to revoke and set further proceedings for June 5. The court recorded the defendant’s ability to post 10 percent of a $7,000 bond as $700 during the bond colloquy.

The court accepted a plea and granted deferred adjudication for John Skinner, who faced a third-degree felony possession charge. Per the plea, the court ordered a $2,000 fine, restitution to the San Antonio Police Department for drug testing, three years of deferred adjudication, 200 hours of community-service restitution with 100 hours reducible for parenting classes and another 100-hour reduction for completing trade school or higher education. Conditions included regular reporting (in-person or by Zoom), random UAs, a TAP evaluation with follow-through on recommendations, proof of employment within 30 days, and a prohibition on employment as a home-healthcare provider or with minors.

Michael Keating entered a no-contest plea to burglary of a habitation, a second-degree felony. The state recommended deferred adjudication and restitution to the complainant. The prosecutor asked the court to impose community supervision for six years, 200 hours of community-service restitution, no contact with the complainant and counseling or programs including anger management and the BIPP program. The court accepted the plea and deferred a finding of guilt while reviewing the recommended conditions.

The court also addressed Jalen Ross’s docket. Ross pleaded no-contest in two cause numbers; the court accepted the plea and, after review, sentenced him to a term of four years in prison, a $1,500 fine, concurrent sentences to run together, and an affirmative finding of family violence in one cause number. The court ordered no contact with the complainant and informed Ross that an affirmative family-violence finding bars ownership or possession of weapons or ammunition.

Across cases the judge emphasized conditions tied to employment, treatment, and monitoring. For several deferred-adjudication dispositions, the court required parenting classes, proof of employment, random drug testing and limits on work with minors or as home-health providers.

The court’s docket also included standard admonishments and colloquies required for pleas, advisals of appeal waivers, and scheduling of future hearings where motions or revocation matters remain pending.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Judge Boyd's Zoom Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Judge Stephanie Boyd handled multiple docket matters including bond-setting for Adrian Harper, deferred-adjudication pleas for John Skinner and Michael Keating, and a 4-year prison sentence entered for Jalen Ross.

Judge Stephanie Boyd, presiding judge of the 187th District, admitted the state's recorded call and heard testimony from a San Antonio Police Department homicide detective and from a witness who photographed the victim's injuries.

The case centers on an October incident prosecutors say involved a vehicle used as a deadly weapon. Detective Dylan Myers, assigned to the homicide unit, testified that he reviewed body-worn- and other video and reclassified the original report to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The court admitted the recorded phone call the detective made to the defendant as State’s Exhibit 8.

Ina M. Clanton, the victim’s wife, testified and identified photographs of bruises, scrapes and other injuries the court received as State’s Exhibits 9–17. Judge Boyd limited parts of Clanton’s testimony, telling her she could describe observed injuries and the photographs but could not testify that the defendant caused those injuries or that the victim had “just been released from the hospital.” Judge Boyd said, “you are not allowed to testify that your husband had just been released from the hospital” and barred testimony tying the injuries directly to the defendant unless the witness had direct, admissible knowledge linking them.

Detective Myers said he conducted follow-up interviews by phone, recorded those calls and reviewed the available video; the prosecutor played the recorded call the detective made to the defendant for the court. Defense counsel objected at points during the detective’s testimony and cross-examination, and the court sustained some objections, striking portions that the court found to be argumentative or speculative.

After receiving evidence and hearing argument, the state rested. The court set a timetable for the jury: jurors were excused for the day and ordered to return the next morning at 9 a.m., when the court will read the jury charge and the parties may deliver closing arguments.

Prosecutors described the charge as aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Defense counsel argued the video and statements did not support that classification. The court heard both sides and admitted the exhibits listed above; the judge also instructed counsel on the limits of permissible testimony about the cause of injuries and prior medical treatment.

The jury will reconvene for the charge and closing arguments; if the jury reaches a verdict after deliberation, the court will enter a formal judgment on that verdict.

The hearing included technical evidence review and foundational testimony; Judge Boyd emphasized evidentiary limits when witnesses relied on secondhand statements. The court’s rulings narrowed the scope of what witnesses may describe to the jury about the origin of the photographed injuries.","In a hearing in the 187th District Court, prosecutors presented a recorded phone call, video and a witness who photographed injuries in the aggravated-assault case against Darren Johnson. The judge limited some testimony about causation and hospital release; the jury was ordered to return the next day for closing arguments and the jury charge.","actionData","errors"]
