In a recent court session, the focus was primarily on the case of Mr. Boykin, who accepted a plea deal for a 90-day sentence after initially considering a 60-day term. The court imposed a concurrent 90-day sentence for multiple counts, with the balance of his sentence probated. As part of the ruling, Mr. Boykin is required to complete a gun safety course and forfeit his firearm, with restrictions on possessing any other firearms until he is certified.
Judge's remarks highlighted the dangers of reckless gun use, referencing a tragic incident from four years prior where a bullet shot into the air resulted in the death of a child. The judge expressed concern over the lack of common sense displayed by individuals involved in gun violence, emphasizing the serious consequences of such actions.
The session also addressed contact provisions related to the Dorsey sisters, reinforcing a previous order for Mr. Boykin to maintain distance from them. The court then moved on to other cases, including that of Mr. Cathy, who faced multiple charges including criminal trespass and simple assault. Discussions regarding Mr. Cathy's time served were ongoing, as his legal team sought clarity on his custody status to determine the best course of action for his plea.
Overall, the meeting underscored the court's commitment to addressing gun safety and the implications of violent behavior, while also navigating the complexities of individual cases within the judicial system.
