Your question @2:08 on agreeing to a plea. Often the prosecution/DA will weigh up the chances of getting the full penalty if it goes to trial, against the chances of it being dismissed, or a lesser penalty. Jury trials aren't always predictable, we don't see all the evidence/argument and are definitely not inside a jurors head and able to understand their thoughts. Sadly, it often boils down to the almighty dollar these days, risk vs reward and jury trials are expensive, so a plea that guarantees some justice is weighed against the chances of possibly little to no more gain at a greater cost. Today, dollars often mean more than true justice for victims and their families.

I do agree, I love Judge Stevens and most of our judges here in Beaumont, ........ but our District Atty's office is corrupt and not concerned about justice for victims, protecting the community or assisting officers in making this a safe place to live. You cant really blame police who keep arresting dangerous criminals and prosecutors either wont risk trying a difficult case or deal their way out of that risk by making unbelievable plea deals so they can still claim the win. Cant blame the judges who get stuck with their hands being tied to plea deals that keep them from sentencing appropriately for the crime. They can refuse to accept the plea deal but that rarely happens and they really dont want to risk losing on appeal or making the DA's office look bad and or cause a bad working relationship. It's all buddy buddy around here and all you have to do is hire one of the high priced defense atty's who know how to stall cases until the DA gives them the deal they want. Sadly I learned the hard way about our local injustice system when I had to endure watching my sons murderer have his charges reduced from 1st degree murder to tampering with evidence. With no new info coming to light, just "we dont think we can win". After assuring me of how strong the case was just 3 days prior. When I met with the ADA (incompetent) and we went over the case and what I should expect to see the defense pull and how he would counter any defense he tried. Lucky for me, the spoiled entitled asshat of a friend of my son, thought his grampa's money would keep bailing him out of trouble. Guess he couldnt buy off the probation officer who revoked his 5 yr probated sentence when he had 8 probation violations including a piss test with 5 drugs in his system....oops!. And all in only a couple of months into his probation. To my amazement, the judge got the chance and some justice was served. She changed his 5yr probated sentence to 8 yrs in prison. So far I have had to testify before the Tx Parole Bd 5 times in the last 4 yrs to keep him from getting out. Dont know how much longer they will listen to me before letting a murderer back out onto our streets again. Saddest still.....my case is typical and not rare. This is the kind of justice our District Atty's office deals in. Judge Stevens was not our judge but I like to think that he would taken a look at the criminal history of the friend who stabbed and killed my son and instead of helping get him to a hospital, or calling the police, chose to call his mom, his lawyer and try to clean the crime scene. Someone else carried my son to the hospital 10+ miles away, in my sons truck and drop him off at the er then flee there and head back to the crime scene to help with clean up and tossing the knife in a canal. We had police ping my sons onstar to find where they ditched the truck. Yeah, we have problems with the justice system in Jefferson County Texas, but it's not really the fault of judges or even police. They have way less power than the district attorney. That was the most shocking thing in learned in my forced education.
@fieryweasel

There are any number of reasons why a plea might be struck. Based on what's here, there's a lot we don't know. We don't know what the original charges were, if they were changed, what the evidence is, what the victim's family wanted, not wanting to put a risky witness on the stand, make a victim re-live the experience (potentially multiple times if there are mistrials), etc. If there weren't plea deals people would be waiting in jail potentially for much, much longer than the maximum possible sentence, all at tax payer expense. I suspect that in this case the evidence placing him behind the wheel was weaker than the prosecution would have liked, and rather than risk an acquittal they offered him a deal. The judge sets neither the charges on the indictment, nor the maximum possible sentence; that's the prosecution and the legislature, respectively. A lot of people say "if someone does X they should be locked up for many, many years" but they also complain about the costs of actually keeping those people locked up. Jails and prisons aren't free, and even in the most severe cases, execution is costlier than a life sentence. Also, can you blame the guy for not wanting to go to prison? Who does? Of course he'd rather not go to prison. People taking plea deals are typically carefully coached in what to say to the judge because they can be easy to screw up. In this particular case, I'm surprised he didn't plead "no contest" (and maybe it was considered, but wasn't done for some reason); this is a textbook case for a nolo plea, when you might face civil litigation as a result of a crime.

So, let's assume for a second they charged him with vehicular homicide, took it to trial with only a shaky witness and a testimony based on a 2 year old memory of a possibly drunk and drug addict, and every other piece of evidence is circumstantial at best... in that instance, the jury may look at the charge, consider "there is reasonable doubt" and either become hung or acquit outright with no chance of re-charging... Because that's the real world scenario that could have played out instead of a plea here. Plea deals serve a lot of purposes, especially in colder cases like this. You have to consider, what's better? Ensuring the guy who admits wrong doing goes away for at least a decade, or running the risk that he finds an attorney who can raise reasonable doubt at trial? The answer to your question is OJ Simpson. That's what happens when plea deals are ignored, even after a very public car chase on Califonia highways.

What I was trying to express was this idea that "If you think you are innocent and you are just pleaing because that 20 years scares you, then that is perjury. You should go to trial not make a plea"; to make the plea in that circumstance is perjury. If a person takes that plea, they need to say with conviction, "I did this thing, this is how I did it, it is all true and I confirm it", no floudering, as we have seen in some cases. That didn't happen here... I probably said that all poorly in the bubble blurb. Please forgive the confustion. I hope this helps.

That was my point in the video, if they made a deal here, and pled to the maximum penalty for causing an accident with the death of another; then he must have been facing Vehicular Homicide charges, which would have STARTED at 20-25 years in jail. With an 80/20 rule mandated state-wide, if there is any possibility you would get stuck with that 20, pleading to 10 years starts sounding real good. That's 8 years as opponsed to 16 years on the 80/20 rule. So the thing they are "cutting out" is probably the other charge, he's pleaing DOWN to a lesser charge that still has a stout sentence, but nothing like a murder sentence would have. This is beneficial for the convict, as well as the state. The state probably would have had a bear of a time proving a lot of this without direct witness testimony, being a 2 year old hit and run case.

I follow Judge Stevens' cases whenever I see them, and find him to be of the kind of character I'll want to be remebered by. This convicted man obviously took the life of someone who was a well respected pillar of society. Perhaps I can find the accident details online. With even not knowing any details, my heart goes out for the victim, his family, friends and loved ones. I'm not a user of alcohol, so haven't much respect for those who do, nor do so and as a result, end up snuffing out the life of others. And to hide or abscond as this man did is disgusting to say the least. And now, with up to ten years to digest the results of choices he made, which were several wrong ones,. Judge Stevens is an honest and fair man, and tho I wasnt aware of any if the circumstances of the case, I stand with everything he has stated herein. Blessings to the family and friends of the deceased .... and to Judge Stevens for the task of handing down this sentence. Apparently he knew the deceased ... that only made it harder I'm sure.

Wolf, just a note about your comments during the video. Be careful in judging a man's heart. The actions, yes. But we have no right to judge his heart any more that I have a right to judge yours. It was a tragedy. The man, for whatever reason, made a very bad decision. To die is one thing. We are all heading to that end/beginning. But to die alone when someone else speeds off that could have helped... that is certainly another thing. I get that. But I don't know the defendant's heart, as I don't know your heart. God does. The person's soul does. I think the judge was very balanced in his approach to the situation. And I think he was sincere that he hopes this man does good in the world in the future. As do I.

Closing the case and moving on is more important than justice or protecting the community. Sad but true in real life. This is a very good judge though, I dont blame him at all.

Pious, wandering, condescending babble by the judge. Fancy wasting the court's time on this meaningless, patronising monologue....

I am amazed how many people take bs for real deeds. They praised the judge for useless air fluctuation and pay no attention that he sliced the murderer’s sentence in half.

Well, #1 - A victim impact statement is a standard part of sentencing. Even when it is given by the judge. #2 - The judge didn't slice the sentence in half, 10 years is the maximum period of time allowable for the crime which was pled over. In a trial situation there may have not even been a conviction because the case was so old. The prosecutor and judge managed to lock this guy up for 10 years for a 2 year old crime that was going cold. That's not nothing. A decade. Texas has the 80/20 rule. That's a mandatory 80% to serve, at least 8 years in Texas prisons. You should read up on what happens in Texas prisons. That very well could have been a death sentence, but it's not nothing, for sure. It's always fascinating to see people chest beat and talk big about how judges are soft and should do this or that other thig. All you need to do is RUN FOR THE OFFICE YOURSELF. Stop all the saber rattling and go do a thing. Let's see you rally the general populous behind that mindset.

@@LoneWolfUsul 1:33 "sir someone convicted of a second degree felony will face no less than two nor more than 20 years confinement in prison" . A judge does not have to accept a plea but he did in this case. No one knows what was behind this generous plea deal. His "standard" statement is a hypocritical waste of time and has no real bearing on anything.

@@sircorn4248 if that is the position you wish to take, fine. I disagree. Victim impact statements are not a waste of time, regardless whether I'm mistaken about the sentence agreement or not. And with 80/20 mandatory in Texas, 10 years in Texas prisons is nothing to scoff at... Most people, most big talkers who think that sentence is light, wouldn't last 90 days in the TDOC.

Judge is rambling. He has no idea what the deceased was thinking about.
