In a tense and revealing session, Judge Boyd confronts a defendant with a veteran status who firmly refuses a Pre-Trial Diversion (PTD) or any form of probation.

The defendant argues that because her parents have already attempted to "drop the charges," she shouldn't have to enter a plea. Watch as Judge Boyd delivers a powerful legal lesson, explaining that in the state of Texas, the case is not owned by the complainant, but by the State itself.

The drama escalates when the defendant chooses to bypass a guaranteed deal for the uncertainty of a jury trial, despite the risk of a much longer sentence. Judge Boyd lays out exactly what happens when 12 strangers decide your fate in a felony case.
