I don't do it in front of my kids or when I'm going to work but I do it before court. Why don't I believe her?

Meth for “stress relief” is a wild concept 😂

She does meth before her meth hearing and then gets all weepy when she is sentenced. Crazy. No one expects consequences for their actions today.

I call bullsh*tt. She's selling drugs and needs to held accountable.

Why do criminals only think of their children when they’re going to jail?

We love Judge Boyd for exactly this measured, thoughtful application of the law.

What a liar !!! We all know she was SELLING ! And "cleaning houses" because a good access for stealing valuable items !!

This chic thinks Judge Boyd was born last night

She needs to be in jail, in a forced treatment environment.

The judge would NEVER have been pleased with "cleaning houses", as a work option. "So, you travel with your own scale?" What proficient drug user!

As a recovered meth user/ meth dealer: The 28 grams was for dealing. The 4 grams was a personal use 8 ball. Baggies and scales are for distribution!!

I absolutely adore Judge Boyd.

What defendants need to realize is that the state is paying for these programs. Regular folks pay out of pocket for rehabilitation, counseling, group therapy, and classes. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that being in Judge Boyd's court is a blessing and should be gratefully accepted as one excellent opportunity to get one's life in order.

She made the right call. Half a year in prison to force her to be clean and show her what prison looks like, then put her on probation. Looks like she was dealing too, so fair all around.

She was distributing and should have been charged with that.

Anyone who keeps saying "I'm being honest" in order to try to convince someone that they're being honest is probably lying

How stupid! People let you in there house to clean? Nope, nope, nope.

In her case, prison is salvation.. She's a mess judge just probably saved her life. Meth is an evil drug. Hope she does well.

So, shape up and you're out in 6 months, or you can sit for 6 years. That's a hell of an incentive, and I hope she is able to succeed.

She is deep into her addiction.

That tilted head and the puppy dog eyes sure didn't work this time.

Judge boyd needs to be stricter on people like this

Judge maintaining jurisdiction is a kindness - if she can take classes and sort her life, she can get out sooner.

chocolate is my drug of choice.

How could doing methamphetamine possibly help with stress???

judge is fair, hope she knows it

no one travels with a scale unless their dealing drugs

💯📢💯As soon as you hear, “I promise you”, you KNOW that they are a liar liar pants on 🔥 FIRE…..its over 💯🥺💯

wonderful...NOT! three children she doesn't have custody of, sale weight meth in her bag, scales in her bag,....but she didn't want to get ripped off by her connect? hmmmm. something doesn't quite make any sense, except for a meth head. she's a dealer and needs to be locked away, especially for her children's safety. those children are much better off without that addict in their lives.

An ounce of meth to use in two to three days? Wouldn't that be like drinking a fifth of whiskey every hour for the same time? I think you would be dead in a matter of hours!

drug user that doesnt care about her kids or anyone else..DONT feel sorry for her

She's takes meth when she's stressed?! That doesn't calm you down.

"I don't have a problem, I just use meth when I'm stressed!"

She was obviously distributing. If they reduced the charges for a plea she could at least be honest with the judge. Her lies will cost her. My belief is people who feel the need to say they are being honest usually are not. People who are being honest do not think to say it because it does not dawn on them to need to say so.

I don't do it in front of my kids, or when I go to work or anything, I just do it when I come to Court for my sentencing..... lol I can't

Using drugs is a terrible excuse. I wouldn't let her in my house.

Look, Your Honor, there was a big sale on meth, and she was stocking up. The scale and baggies? Uhh, for cleaning supplies. Dish detergent.

It’s crazy that they never need help until they are in front of that judge. Stop offering them ways out make them do their time in prison and wash ur hands of it

After watching countless court videos ever since covid (thereby making me an expert), I think Judge Boyd is the best judge out there.

An ounce in 2 to 3 days , are you bathing in it ?? BS, she is selling !! Wherever she cleans, better check for missing items !!

she couldn't tell right from wrong if she tried

Oh, little girl, honey, maybe one day your children will mean much more to you than drugs.

This dealer was just given a gift from Judge Boyd. Will be interesting to see how well she does.

She's a real consumer rights advocate. She's tired of getting ripped off (I won't use her offensive term) on her drug deals.

"A Few Kids" is a Wild Opening Statement by her Lawyer! She's talking about doing Meth under Stress like she's Sneaking a Cigarette! She Kept it Under an Ounce but Kept them Together thinking she was some Kind of Criminal Genius! A 1/2 Ounce a Day is such a Massive Amount of Meth, it's So Much Meth!

It was only 28 grams of meth🙄

I recommend rehab….AFTER her 6 year prison time.

So how much does that all cost? Who has that kind if money? But can't take care of her kids? Go straight to jail.

She’s all over the place with her excuses. 🙄

Lock her up.

This seems like it's the first time she's been sent to jail... unbelievably lucky until now.

Damn Judge Boyd! Sent that lady to prison! She wasnt in the mood today!

Best judge and human being in America. What's left of it.

Your Honour, you saved that womans life..

When you still come up with excuses, you'll never get clean.

I love how you cleverly titled this case/video, "Woman left in shock.." and Judge Boyd sentenced her to 'Shock Treatment' I used to watch the program 'Scared Straight ' and I think this defendant will greatly benefit from the experience. I'm hoping she does well because if she's able to be released after six months she will likely develop a sense of gratitude. There's a huge difference between six months and *six years* in prison. Hopefully, after she has the opportunity to reflect on her time behind bars it will instill in her the desire to embrace genuine Recovery as well as the willingness to do anything & everything to avoid serving additional time. Judge Boyd is brilliant in assessing what might help each individual defendant be successful.

This is one case in point of why I - albeit begrudgingly - clean my own house.

Pray for this girl, she’s got a long road ahead.

You can't fix stupid.

Who smokes Meth before court and tell Judge Boyd prior to sentencing lol. She need to taste prison.

Doing meth right before going to court. Genius!

Judge Boyd is so bright and considers each person with clarity. I admire her abilities.

I actually like this sentence. As one judge was always fond of saying "The keys to the prison gate are completely in your hands." It is entirely up to her to get her act together in that first six months if she wants to avoid the full six year ride.

She thought she was being a fast talker she never thought she would get prison

Nicely done, Judge Boyd. The defendant is in over her head and needs help. A six- year sentence can become a six-month sentence if she shows a good faith effort.

I hope she’s able to get (and stay) clean.

Oh, she was cleaning houses all right.....cleaning out their valuables that is.

GOOD. She needs to be taken off the streets and away from her kids, so that an honest effort was made by the court and this woman for rehabilitation. I hope she can put the drugs down, become a good mom, and have a better life for herself and her kids.

Well, crap, don’t we all leave the house and make sure we have our own personal drug scale?

Poor lady she only use when she is stressed 😂😂

The "shock" part of shock probation is when the criminal doesn't know they are being brought back before the 180 days mark to be placed on probation. The point is that they are looking at a long stretch and suddenly they have this opportunity to be on paper and back in society.

They have to air out that court room for days with all that smoke she is blowing out her butt

Americans have no problem with the metric system when it comes to meth 🤔

So she was afraid that she would be denied probation so her choice was to use meth?!

The streets have one less drug dealer on the street.

Judge Boyd is a real human being. She is still giving her chances and yet the help she desperately needs. Love you Judge Boyd, thank you fir caring so much and giving people multiple chances

I can believe that she traveled with a scale to make sure she didn’t get cheated…. But when it is bagged up individually that is considered intent to distribute

Very fair judgement. My heart does go out to this lady. Addiction is a disease

We need more judges like her, bravo

Great call on this sentence Judge Boyd ❣️ I can't imagine how someone can use 30 grams of Meth in 2-3 days.... carrying a scale... sounds like a dealer to me. Using Meth before Court on Meth charges because you're stressed??? Smart move...3 kids, two she doesn't have custody of and now Great Grandmother is left to raise her youngest child. Her job was cleaning other people's homes...how many times did she steal from them to support her habit? Judge Boyd 💞💞 you are a Rockstar!

Please have better mics for the litigants. You can hear the Honorable Judge very well but the participants not good enough. Judge Boyd is excellent.

6 year sentence is a loud message for her...better to get life together so see her children more important

Of Course She Wants You To Be Honest! 😂

In the UK in the 70s we had the 'Short, Sharp Shock' for young offenders. Three months in a Detention Centre. Very few kids who went to one of those places went to prison later in life. It was *not* a good place to be.

This judge rocks.

Judge Boyd is so merciful. America needs more Judges like her!

She carries a scale with her to weigh her drugs because she’s been shortchanged before, judge. She’s just looking out for her drug dealer’s integrity 🤣

I'm so tired of defendants crying "I really am stressed" instead of just saying they screwed up and made a bad decision. Accountability is really lacking in people, and it's sadder when those people are raising children. Life is often stressful, but that's no reason to handle or use illegal drugs.

She knew she might be arrested at court and wanted to get loaded before that’s why she used. I was a provider in a prison, they do this all the time. They load up if they think it may be their last for a while. So she’s lying saying she only uses occasionally, she’s a regular addicted person that can’t even imagine going one day without.

Americans buy in bulk. She got the Costco pack. Then you cut it up for on the go packs. Lol

Judge Boyd is awesome❤❤❤

I hope that the young lady does well with the programs being given to her. With 3 children, she has a lot to look forward to. She has capable people I hope, taking care of her children. A lot of people in her situation don’t have that. I wish her the best of luck. Excellent judge.

Real Judge

Honestly, she’s a great Judge, BUT REGARDLESS OF HOW HONEST YOU ARE, she will send you either to prison or inpatient. I’d keep my mouth shut. Let her do her

I’m sitting here thinking Judge Boyd is drunk as a skunk then I remembered I’d changed my playback speed while I was watching a tutorial! 😂😂😂😂

Sometimes prison is the best thing for addicts. A long time ago, my dumb ass did 4½ years in federal prison and it saved my life and I finally got my shit straightened out. I've been clean and sober ever since, and I haven't even received a parking ticket since then. Hell, I won't even fart in public anymore.

This judge is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Judge Boyd is so good. That woman has a shot of probation in six months and she's facing six years if she doesn't shape up. That's super reasonable

Anyone who knows of Judge Boyd, knows that she is intuitive, intelligent and nonsense. She knows exactly what the deal is with this woman.

She only does it when she's under stress😅😅
