Carlos Vasquez Saldana before Judge Stephanie Boyd, centering on whether police had voluntary consent to search a vehicle. The court recessed after extended argument to allow both sides to prepare legal points on voluntariness; the judge scheduled counsel to return at 1:30 p.m. for further argument before ruling on the defense's motion to suppress.

Prosecutors called San Antonio Police Department officers who testified they responded to an equipment/traffic stop and that Officer Joseph Garza (Spanish-speaking) and others assisted on scene. The officers said the defendant was detained and placed in handcuffs and that, while handcuffed but before receiving Miranda warnings, the defendant gave verbal consent in Spanish for officers to search the vehicle. That consent was communicated to the officer who searched the vehicle; officers then located drug paraphernalia and a small quantity of a suspected controlled substance on the vehicle and on the defendant.

The state introduced and the court admitted several exhibits, including body-worn-camera video and two evidence items (admitted as State's exhibits 5 and 6). Forensic scientist Hannah Griffin of the Bexar County crime lab testified by video that she analyzed the submitted sample (CIL 25-00184) and that the tested item \"tested positive for methamphetamine.\" Griffin recorded a net weight for the tested portion of 0.253 grams (uncertainty +/- 0.004 grams) and said the lab performed presumptive testing and confirmatory gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry analysis between Feb. 12 and Feb. 21, 2025.

Defense counsel argued the consent was involuntary because the defendant was handcuffed, under stress, and had not been Mirandized before officers questioned him in Spanish and requested consent. The defense urged suppression of the narcotics and paraphernalia and of related testimonial evidence. The state replied that the initial stop and subsequent actions were lawful, that the defendant gave verbal consent prior to Miranda warnings and that the evidence should therefore be admissible. During a bench exchange the judge observed both parties agreed the consent occurred before Miranda warnings and while the defendant was in handcuffs; the court recessed to allow additional argument on voluntariness and voluntariness factors.

The court did not rule on the motion before recessing. The hearing record includes witness testimony that the vehicle was initially stopped for equipment/registration reasons, that officers observed apparent \"furtive movements\" and that Officer Garza and others attended the scene to assist with Spanish translation. The court admitted the lab report and the seized items into evidence and took the suppression motion under advisement pending further argument.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","FRI., JUNE 13, 2025/JUDGE STEPHANIE BOYD/187TH DISTRICT COURT/MORNING DOCKET","oneSentenceSummary","In a hearing over whether police lawfully searched a vehicle, Judge Stephanie Boyd recessed to consider defense arguments that consent given in Spanish while the defendant was handcuffed and before Miranda warnings was involuntary; Bexar County lab analyst testified that the seized substance tested positive for methamphetamine (0.253 g).","taxTitle","Judge Stephanie Boyd 187th District, District Court Judges, Judicial, Texas","taxId",66298,"location","Texas","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6200493,"Judge Boyd sentences Renee Camarillo to 20 years after no-contest pleas in pedestrian death",872,1573150,2445710,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3813633-d77f97ba00e84369e48028bf5fe4a5e9&start=1573&end=2445","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3813633-d77f97ba00e84369e48028bf5fe4a5e9/thumbnail_1573150.jpg","/articles/6200493/Texas/Judge-Boyd-sentences-Renee-Camarillo-to-20-years-after-no-contest-pleas-in-pedestrian-death","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200493-116010468d5513138ac92ce7b03d8e4f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771026628&Signature=GTHpETyGGcA15rMRk8B7ZoT1MVVQvvhCA7Hd3gPMErMhnNBfp5~yKUjACXlsBcYw2-gKLV~NBy3xdlwW~MFA0qdoag58ywVvFCq-ndMI6lM9wFcNWD5iX7xxqkJziuvR4RTH2QK79Jb5SOqaz1oA09zydgeTQ740IYobobvgRX-5pK7turnJUquQTys6S6IpHGZXo4O~KyngqPYM-MVu4pTgDTGU9rVydkyvt77UehaVmE2ya2w7C36RXSAj0Zfgb2-v9duJ7BxpdXbwEtHUjVOH2sNCkoRGLzWNwwE3xZI8FiMhadG58SE~TeqIiiBQRR7E6AFzc9T-hT114XKEAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court sentenced Renee Camarillo to 20 years in prison on June 10, 2025, after Camarillo entered no-contest pleas to the charges in two related cause numbers. The court ordered the terms to run concurrently and gave credit for time served; the judge also made affirmative deadly-weapon findings and imposed a no-contact order for specified individuals.

The sentence follows a plea-bargain agreement the court described on the record. The judge told Camarillo the plea had waived his right to appeal and explained that, as a felony conviction, he would be barred from owning or possessing weapons or ammunition. The court identified the cases as 2024 CR5218 and 2024 CR5219 and noted consideration of related cause number 2025 CC005805.

Family members delivered victim-impact statements before sentencing. A woman who identified herself as the eldest daughter of the pedestrian (identified in court alternately as Andrea and India Watson) said her mother, who died as a pedestrian struck during an event involving police, was 47 and left three children and more than a dozen grandchildren. “There is no sentence that can restore what we've lost,” she said, describing the family’s ongoing trauma, the need to reconstruct the victim’s face for an open casket and the lasting emotional harm to relatives. Another speaker, identified in court as Miss Simmons, the victim’s maternal sister, described long-term emotional and psychological effects and said the family remains in counseling.

The judge acknowledged the family’s statements and addressed Camarillo directly, urging him to use prison programs and training opportunities to prepare for life after release. The court also entered a no-contact order that, as read on the record, named two individuals (spelled aloud in court). The transcript records an affirmative finding of a deadly weapon on counts 1 and 2 in both lead cause numbers.

After the remarks, the judge excused the family and directed the victim advocate to confer with them. The court then moved on to other matters on the calendar. Camarillo was advised of the sentencing terms and credited for time served; because the disposition followed a plea agreement, the court noted the waiver of appeal rights for the defendant.","On June 10, 2025, Judge Stephanie Boyd sentenced Renee Camarillo to 20 years in prison after no-contest pleas to two counts tied to a pedestrian's death; family members delivered victim-impact statements describing prolonged trauma and loss.","actionData","errors"]
