Whew! Close call today in the 435th District Court of Montgomery County Texas. An order of arrest had been signed by the judge and my client whom is set for trial in July was looking at sitting in jail until the trial date. The judge listened to my explanation of why he was out of compliance and we were able to amend the conditions of his bond/release. Going forward he will be able to meet with me in the office to prepare for trial.

Today I’m in the 435th District Court of Montgomery County Texas on a DWI-4th case. Blood alcohol is greatly over the .08 limit. Probable cause for the stop observed by deputies: the vehicle swerved in and out of its lane multiple times and slow and speed up. Vehicle also displayed expired registration. Vehicle also eluded marked patrol vehicles for.7 miles at 10-15 mph, also disregarding stop signs. Vehicle came to a stop at his residence and driver displayed signs of intoxication (glassy eyes and strong odor of alcohol”. Keeping this man out of prison is the goal.

Day 3 in the jury trial of Jeffrey Hitchcock. When we recessed yesterday I was cross examining a forensic interviewer. That is where we will resume. I have filed a motion to suppress my client’s statements given in a very coercive interrogation. We are waiting for the Court to rule. This has been a scholarly battle. When confronted by law enforcement tell them you don’t want to talk to them and that you want your lawyer. Be assertive and the STFU. Wait for your lawyer. Need help?

Today in the State v Juarez client entered a plea deal of 5 years in prison for Evading Arrest in a motor vehicle. I was able to negotiate the Deadly Weapon allegation to be abandoned. That was a good turn for my client. A Deadly Weapon allegation increases the parole eligibility date from 1/4 of the time served to 1/2. This will benefit Mr. Juarez as he will be extradited to Fort Bend County to address warrants for Manufacture/Delivery of Controlled Substance a 1st degree felony and Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon a 2nd degree felony. Taking this plea recommendation was a very smart decision as the chase reached very high speed in a residential neighborhood, firearms were recovered and the vehicle was stolen in an armed carjacking

In court today on 5 counts of Aggravated Assault Against Public Servant-Deadly Weapon. The plea bargain offer is beyond what my client wishes to accept. Being so we set the case for jury trial this summer.

I’m in Liberty County this morning for cases involving allegations of False ID to a Peace Officer and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon. The prosecutor has made a very decent offer and has agreed not to refer the cases for felony charges. Recognizing we are in control of what happens next, we are going to enter into a Deferred Adjudication agreement where the case will be dismissed for good performance, community service and cognitive therapy.

Cyber crimes, Internet crimes against children, online solicitation of a minor, revenge porn crimes, unauthorized access to proprietary information are a few examples of criminal charges that are becoming increasingly common. Defending against these crimes requires an attorney with advanced training and experience. If you have been accused or arrested and charged with a computer crime, call me Benton Baker 936/494-2444.

Jury is deliberating. We had a very pleasant witness for mitigation and effectively cross examined several police officer witnesses. I being a zealous advocate for my client, an accused citizen I received some unexpected and unwarranted static. More about that later. In advancing my client’s rights of a fair trial and due process I’m not popular with some people.

We just concluded closing arguments in State v Wilform. Charge evading arrest in a motor vehicle. The Government has alleged the motor vehicle was used in a manner consistent with a deadly weapon. This allegation is not supported by the evidence. Looking forward to a Znot guilty verdict. 359th District Court of Montgomery County Texas. Judge Kathleen Hamilton presiding.
Benton Baker January 24th, 2025

Trial case has been continued in the 359th District Court of Montgomery County Texas, HOWEVER, yours truly has been ordered to trial on State v Wilford. This jury trial will involve the charge of Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle. This is vexing in that the Indictment alleges the Motor Vehicle as a Deadly Weapon. Defense lawyers have been flexible and pivot. I will be seeking a full acquittal and no finding on the Deadly Weapon.
