Mr. Jeffries, representing Boyd, indicated that there had been a previous plea offer which Boyd had rejected. Judge West clarified that the offer would not be available after this hearing, emphasizing that any future plea would be to a different charge unless new information emerged. Boyd confirmed his intention to plead not guilty and proceed to trial, and the case was set for trial preparation.
The meeting continued with Jerry LeBlanc's cases, where Judge West allowed for a brief pause for the defendant to consult with his attorney. The session then shifted to Carly Davis, charged with driving while intoxicated. The attorney for Davis, Mr. Rojas, was asked for an announcement regarding her case, but the details of that discussion were not captured in the transcript.
Overall, the meeting was characterized by procedural updates and the management of ongoing criminal cases, with Judge West ensuring that defendants were informed of their rights and the implications of their decisions regarding pleas and trial preparations. The next steps for each case were clearly outlined, maintaining the court's focus on due process and legal representation.
