In a significant morning session at the 187th District Court on July 28, 2025, Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over multiple sentencing hearings, highlighting the serious consequences of felony convictions.

The court handed down sentences to two defendants, emphasizing the importance of accountability and the potential for rehabilitation. The first defendant received a 94-day sentence in Bexar County Jail along with a $2,000 fine for his guilty plea. Judge Boyd made it clear that this sentence would run concurrently with another case, urging the defendant to reconsider his life choices to avoid a future filled with incarceration.

In a more severe case, Alexander Aguilar faced charges of aggravated assault of a child, a second-degree felony. The court accepted a plea deal that resulted in a 16-year prison sentence and a $1,500 fine. Judge Boyd underscored the gravity of the charges, reminding Aguilar of the long-term implications of his actions and the importance of understanding the legal process.

Both cases serve as stark reminders of the judicial system's role in addressing serious offenses and the potential for change if individuals choose to alter their paths. The court's decisions reflect a commitment to justice while also providing a chance for defendants to reflect on their futures.
