Skipped Probation For Years - Judge Tears Her Apart

Judge Stephanie Boyd questions Sinida Louise Ray after years of missed probation reports. Ray was placed on deferred adjudication in 2021. During the hearing, she admitted to repeatedly failing to report to her supervision officer. Her attorney asked the court for another chance, pointing to improved housing, employment, family support, and a request for treatment. Ray also explained that she had been dealing with an abusive relationship and difficult family circumstances, including her grandmother’s cancer treatment. Judge Boyd questioned why Ray stayed away from probation for so long and why she did not contact her supervision officer. The court also discussed a pending drug-related case and conditions connected to the original supervision. The court ultimately revoked Ray’s supervision, adjudicated her guilty, and sentenced her to six years in prison. The judge also made a family-violence finding, ordered $100 in restitution to an approved family-violence center, and imposed restrictions involving contact with minors.
