20 Years for a $2 Coke?! Judge Boyd Reacts to Felony Charge

A Navy Veteran faces a potential 20-year sentence for a $2 soda. Watch how a criminal defense strategy and Veterans Court intervention saved her from a felony conviction that could have ruined her VA disability benefits. In this episode of Court Cam Legal Analysis, we break down a high-stakes case from the 187th District Court. A defendant is charged with a Second Degree Felony for Robbery—a serious charge carrying a maximum punishment of 20 years in prison—over a dispute involving a single can of soda at a 7-11. We analyze the criminal law implications of "Statutory Range" punishment versus the critical mitigating factors of military service and PTSD compensation claims. Watch closely as Judge Stephanie Boyd exercises judicial discretion, a move that often saves defendants thousands in bail bonds and legal fees, to offer a lifeline through Veterans Legal Services.
