#courtcase #sentencinghearing #criminaljustice #burglary #aggravatedassault In State v. Deon (Devin) McGee, Cause No. 38631, the defendant appeared for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to first-degree felony burglary of a habitation with intent to commit aggravated assault. The plea agreement included a 30-year cap in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Before sentencing, McGee attempted to withdraw his plea, claiming he had been misinformed in jail that he was ineligible for probation. The court clarified that probation was legally possible, but found the plea had been entered freely and voluntarily and denied the request to withdraw. During sentencing, defense counsel emphasized McGee’s lack of prior criminal history, difficult upbringing, family support letters, and acceptance of responsibility. Counsel argued McGee followed his brother, did not expect violence, and requested deferred adjudication probation. The prosecution strongly opposed probation, citing extensive video evidence and the violent nature of the offense. The judge noted she had personally reviewed the videos and concluded that McGee instigated and encouraged the actions that night, including assisting with the firearm. The court found McGee guilty and imposed a 30-year prison sentence, making an affirmative deadly weapon finding, and credited time served. The judge emphasized that the sentence reflected the seriousness of the offense and the terror inflicted on the victims, noting the rare availability of comprehensive video evidence in such cases. Following sentencing, a victim impact statement was delivered, describing the lasting trauma suffered by the family and expressing gratitude to law enforcement, prosecutors, medical personnel, and the court. The judge acknowledged the family’s suffering and closed by advising McGee to use the opportunity for rehabilitation during incarceration and to make better choices in the future.
