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.

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

The prosecutor has made a very decent offer and has agreed not to refer the cases for felony charges.

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.

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.

The jury now has the case and they are deliberating. This is the 4th day of trial and an hour ago we gave our closing arguments. It’s two counts of “Super” Aggravated Sexual Assault of a child. The allegation is “Super” Aggravated based on the complainant’s age, which is less than six.

With the holidays approaching, local Law Enforcement and our District Attorney’s office are planning to implement a No Refusal policy. What’s that mean? If you are stopped while driving, and Law Enforcement suspects your are under the influence of any substance, they will ask you to provide a breath or blood sample. Motorists who refuse to provide a specimen will then have their case referred to a judge to seek a search warrant whereby the police may draw a blood sample for chemical analysis. This has consequences in court as well as that it may effect your driving priviledges. If you find yourself being accused of driving while intoxicated, contact Benton Baker at 936-494-2444.

Today is my final day as the drug court/DWI Court staff attorney. I want to thank Judge Grant of the 9th District Court and Judge Hamilton of the 359th District Court for the opportunity to serve Montgomery County for the last 7 years. There are not many happy days in the courthouse, but graduation days made me glow with pride in seeing men and women regain their sense of self, strengthen their relationships and move forward with a new purpose. I am also grateful to the dedicated diversion officers, the counselors, probation officers and yes, the assistant district attorneys I have had the privilege to work with in our mission to rehabilitate our community members.

12.44(a) what is that? I’m often told by my clients that they will plead to a “12-44”. Sometimes that applies and sometimes not. 12.44(a) of the Texas Penal Code allows a STATE JAIL FELONY to be sentenced as a Class A Misdemeanor in the county jail. Today I was able to have my client’s 3rd Degree Felony reduced to a State Jail Felony and sentenced to county time. He’s very pleased with me and the plea recommendation. If you or someone you know is fighting a felony charge please call Benton Baker 936/494-2444. I’m here to fight for you!

I meet some really great people in my line of work. This morning I was in court with a young man that went on 2 probations last October. Unfortunately the community supervision didn’t work out. Now he was looking at a year in the Montgomery County Jail. He hired me early in the revocation stage and we got to work. I credit my client for taking the classes I recommended, providing me the paperwork I asked for, and staying out of trouble while the case was pending. Today he walked out of the courthouse a free man and time served. Probation is hard and when it doesn’t work out, call me and let’s get to work. Benton Baker the liberty maker 936/494-2444

A person’s criminal history is often a factor in what sort of plea recommendation the Government will make. It is difficult when a client that has improved himself but runs afoul of the law again. Small cases then carry significant consequences. However, what can and cannot be used against the accused is a matter of law. Are the enhancement paragraphs provable? Do they conform with the law? Are past cases proper for impeachment? Are they time barred? When you are considering going to trial you need a lawyer that knows the rules, knows how to use them and knows how to fight. If you are considering going to trial call me Benton Baker 26 years of courtroom and jury trial experience. 936/494-2444

Computer and cell phone data and meta data are components in criminal investigations and prosecutions of many cases. Expert witnesses are frequently used to explain how, when, and where data is obtained by electronic devices. In turn this can place an accused citizen at a certain pace or show his/her awareness of events. Defense lawyers must train to understand how these devices operate and to call out a state’s witness that embellishes the evidence. Moreover, defense attorneys must be able to use their own expert witnesses to debunk mischaracterizing government witnesses. If you or a loved one are involved in a case where electronic evidence is a factor of the prosecution call me Benton Baker attorney at law 936/494-2444

Attending the Domestic Violence docket today. I have filed a Motion to Modify or Delete Bond Conditions. Accused Citizens often are released from jail with conditions of their release. Often it is referred to as “Bond Probation” and that nickname is very accurate. While the process goes forward, defendants must comply with orders from the court and report regularly to a Bond Supervision Officer, whom works for the probation office. Long before a jury trial or any kind of adjudication, the defendant is monitored and ordered to do certain things. Today I am asking the court to let my client go home and to remove a GPS device. If you are looking for a fighter in your attorney call Battling Ben Baker. 936/494-2444. Let’s bring the fight to them

This afternoon I am attending the arraignment docket in Montgomery County Court at Law, the Honorable Echo Hutson presiding. My client is charged with False Report to Law Enforcement. He has been offered time to serve in the Montgomery County Jail. However, whether this is a good or bad plea recommendation is still to be determined. Arraignment is the first court setting in the criminal litigation process. Today we do not have the 9-1-1 call, the witness statements, nor the body camera footage. Therefore, we shall reset to conduct Discovery and evaluate the Government’s allegations against this accused citizen. If you are facing the full force and effect of a criminal charge, call me Benton Baker the liberty maker 936/494-2444.

Another busy day in the Montgomery County Courthouse. Burglary of a Habitation is a second degree felony in Texas. When the defendant has been to the penitentiary two or more times he’s charged as a Habitual Offender, and that’s what I am pushing back against. All crimes are a series of elements that the Government must prove individually and Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. Today’s case involves an abandoned house, where no one lived, that was not in shape to be a “ Habitation” nor is a true owner discernible. I defend the Constitution and each other f you by holding the Government to its Burden of Proof. Call me Benton Baker criminal defense attorney 936/494-2444
