Judge Stephanie Boyd issues sentences, deferred adjudications and resets in multi-defendant criminal docket

Judge Stephanie Boyd presided over a mixed criminal docket in the 187th District Court, hearing pleas, probation-revocation matters, deferred-adjudication applications and sentencing for multiple defendants. The court accepted deferred adjudication or scheduled evaluations in some cases, and imposed custodial sentences in others.

The most severe sentence announced was an 8-year prison term imposed to run concurrently across the cause numbers for Joshua Anzaduah; the court also ordered no contact with complainants and restitution where applicable. The court followed plea agreements or findings of guilt after the State introduced written exhibits in lieu of live testimony in several matters.

Why it matters: The docket combined final dispositions (sentences and plea-based outcomes) with deferred-adjudication applications and post-conviction revocation findings. Those outcomes immediately affect defendants' custody status, probation conditions and eligibility for appeals, and they schedule follow-up procedures — such as PSI (pre-sentence investigation) or TAP (treatment assessment program) evaluations — that will determine future court action.
