Judge sentences defendant to concurrent 8-year terms in fraudulent credit-card convictions
Summary
The court accepted pleas in two causes and sentenced the defendant to concurrent eight-year prison terms and ordered restitution and fines as applicable; defendant waived jury rights and appeals as part of the plea colloquies.
In the 187th District Court before Judge Stephanie Boyd, the court accepted plea agreements in two separate cause numbers and sentenced the defendant to concurrent eight-year terms in prison.
The state proceeded on specified counts in cause numbers ending in 06 and 75. The court advised the defendant of the rights he was waiving, including jury trial and the right to confront witnesses, and confirmed the pleas and plea paperwork were knowingly and voluntarily given. The court found the state’s exhibits sufficient to support the pleas and accepted stipulated testimony and reports rather than live witness testimony.
For the cause ending in 06, the court assessed eight years in prison and a $2,000 fine; in the cause ending in 75, the court assessed eight years and ordered restitution of $902 to Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union and imposed a no-contact order with Shirley Rushfelt. The court ordered the sentences to run concurrently and incorporated other case references into its consideration of punishment.
The court also admonished the defendant that, as a result of felony convictions, he is prohibited from possessing weapons or ammunition and encouraged treatment resources. The court entered final sentencing consistent with the plea agreements and the record of stipulated exhibits.
