How the heck does the mom, talk to him daily? Her dang phone bill would b in the thousands, y’all didn’t talk that much b4, he’s been using alcohol since 6 th grade, prob drugs 2.. they paid that MD well.. the parents getting high with him, give me a break, I retired from county jail.. me : jury duty, I work for county jail, I wouldn’t b bias in these cases.. I would say all are guilty.. never contacted me , again.. holds true today.. now he needs treatment, now he wants his education.. the low talking sis, prob gets high, 2..
Thank you Cassandra Castro for taking the time to share all you did about your wonderful father. We can see how loving and caring a man he was...because you are a loving and caring human being. You are the one who carries the most important message that this person, Michael, needs to hear. God bless you Cassandra for being unashamed to share the Gospel Message of our Lord.
That was ridiculous. Victim Impact Statements should not be a platform for proselytizing 🤮If she wants to do that I'm sure he'd love for her to visit him in prison. That was just gross.
Wow! Mrs. Castro is an amazing young lady! I am crying listening to her impact statement. What a beautiful heart this young woman has. My thoughts and prayers are with her. ❤
Her diction was terrible, every sentence just devolved into mumbling. It doesn’t help that these people are turning their heads away to respond to questions and that mic is far too short. When the witness sounds like she has a mouthful of marbles it’s just unintelligible. I can’t imagine the court reporter trying to make sense of it.
Imagine being this parent one child murders someone and has low verbal acuity the other one we literally cannot understand! Doing drugs with your kids?so so shity!
Oh Cassandra, I'm still crying with you. Very powerful statement with meaning, empathy, strength, and compassion. I'm so moved by your faith and path for forgiveness.
@@forrest_lost2650Cassandra = the victims daughter! The last woman to talk aka the one who gave her VICTIM STATEMENT!!! She spoke just fine… and knows more than anyone the impact of HER FATHER life being taken… Why don’t you pay attention before jumping at ppl and sounding stupid in the process..
God bless this girl that lost her dad. I pray this young man really took in what she said to him. Thoughts and prayers go out to this young lady and her family.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cassandra Castro is an angel. What a profound testimony. What a godly forgiving woman. She cared more for the salvation of the convicted. I'm truly touched by her testimony. Many people talk religions, but this woman lives her religion and truly puts her faith in the one true God.
Judge Boyd, horrible, horrible, horrible, l hope his Mother gets the point, that she’s a horrible mother. Both families have suffered from this young man actions.🙏❤️🙏
That was, by far, the best impact statement I have ever heard! ✝️ God bless this young woman for turning a horrible and painful experience into hope and salvation! ❤ ✝️ 🙏🥰
I’m glad she called his parents exactly what they are. Horrible! They’re gonna forget about him after the first couple of visits to prison because no one is visiting someone in prison for 35 f’ing yrs.
I visited someone twice a month for 26 years until they were released in 2020. The only time I wasn't able to go at least twice a month was after the birth of my 3 boys.
Cassandra what a powerful n impactful statement to Michael. I pray he hears u n does ask that God save him. May God give u n ur family peace n strength for the unfortunate loss of ur dad, Paul. Amen!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🩷
I think that’s true. The mic picked up a brief conversation he had with the Judge about his 2 children (I think that’s what is was). He had a big smile.
I had the joy of being a defendant against him…… He was damn good at his job, but once the case was closed he was nothing but kind and a nice man to me and everyone but 100% agree that he is absolutely on top of his job!!
Doing meth with the kids. This is unbelievable! Thank you, Judge, for clarification on that matter. Good GOD ALMIGHTY. What is wrong with these people? Too bad you can't put the whole family on probation.
Laughing, joking, smoking a blunt and then all of a sudden 3 gun shots. Not so fun now is it. Hard to tell what all drugs the kid was using and did it with his mom and her bf or whoever he is. No one understood because no one tried to. Wow smh
Amen! To God be the glory. What a testimony from a young woman in her own pain. May God bless you and your family mightily. I pray Michael's mother and sister and all Courtroom is listening.
Cassandra gave the best impact statement I’ve heard, I was genuinely sad to see judge Boyde cut her off. With that being said Amen and I hope her dad R. I. P.❤️🙏
That Dr described my child hood 100 percent. Incest,violence, mental illness, abuse, hunger,moving around, fear,loneliness. Alcoholic father who was shot and killed on the streets of San Antonio at a bar on s.presa st. Mother in and out of state hospital. With all that crap I had to live through I have never had a Alcohol or drug addiction. Never in my life have I ever been in trouble with the law. Started busing tables at 16 managed to get my G E D and a trade to support my self. Raised 2 strong clean educated girls. Im a 71 year old female .now retired healthy and well. So don't give me that oh my childhood was horrible. Its bull crap. Yes 35+ years in prison.
It appears that Michael and his sister have a very dull affect an inability to communicate and are unable to put cohesive sentences together Presumably they were ignored for the most part and had no intellectual stimulation whatsoever In your case although highly dysfunctional I'm guessing that the people in your family when they were not having episodes were more intelligent and able to communicate and somehow transfer that on to you genetically and in some ways environmentally or maybe you had a mentor or early schooling that was good or grandparents because things don't happen in a vacuum but that said you deserve all the credit and congratulations on living a successful life and a moral one for your children.❤
I'm sorry for what happened to you in your young life. But I am proud of you for being strong & doing good with your life. Not letting that abuse destroy you.
You should be proud, my mother grew up with an abusive alcoholic father, incest, drug abuse, in and out of prison, verbally, mentally and physically abusive. There was no structure, not encouraged to pursue further education, sexual abuse then happened to my cousin...my mother didn't drink or do drugs. However, throughout my entire life and I'm 51, she has struggled with severe depression, in and out of mental institutions my whole life and it has had a huge affect on me because I have always had to be the mother. She would verbally, sometimes physically assault my Dad and at 8 years old try to protect him. But, he has fiercely stuck by her, and I mean FIERCELY. He grew up in an even worse situation. They chose to not allow alcohol or drugs in their home and I am grateful they intentionally chose to break that cycle. However, at the age of 35 I had a, I guess it's called a "nervous breakdown". I had to leave my job, admitted 3 times into mental health facilities, put on many different medications, to this day I see a therapist once a week, a psychiatrist, was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and OCD. My grandfather was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, my mother was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and it is hereditary. It didn't hit me until I was 35. I didn't have a chance to have a real childhood and like many people with parents with mental illness. But, I refuse to live like my mom, full of anger and passive aggressive behavior, alienate person after person. That behavior has left a lot of anger and frustration towards her. I still manage to have a close relationship with her. I don't want to harbor bad feelings so I don't do the same things despite my illness. I also decided to break the changes. I furthered my education and before early retirement I had a great career. But, LIKE my mother I married a man that has stuck by me in sickness in health. I decided I never wanted to live like my grandparents, my parents and just be different. We have a sober home intentionally. We just didn't want to have the same life and attitude or resentment. She can't or maybe just won't change. But, I can remove myself from her presence when I feel myself feeling bitterness. Like you, I chose a different path! You should be proud. 😊
@@kimberlysmith1282 What this generation has , psychologically speaking thst the former generations have not is the body of research that depicts the structure of the brain by way of fmri Imaging and other techniques. What this has provided is how chemicals in the brain change with stress and the actual shape of the forebrain changes with trauma .The neuroscience called Neuroplasticity and there are articles and research papers on the subject on the internet ,can actually reverse some of the damage to the brain done by PTSD I know that doctors are quick to prescribe medication which in most cases are not helpful and are often harmful and create more depression but if you absolutely need psychotropic medication then by all means as a temporary solution then of course . I also think that modern psychologists are very quick to label certain mental conditions but I think those are exaggerated sometimes as well. I think all of these behaviors that you're describing that are generational are because of lack of impulse control and I think might be classified as addictions as you probably know. All addictions are pretty much the same - food ,sex ,drugs ,alcohol abuse so once a person figures out what the underlying cause of all the addictions is the resolution is at hand and the cycle is broken. You mentioned that you had what might be classified as a nervous breakdown but who knows it could be a nervous breakthrough because often those crises are an opportunity to take a real look at the history and get the help the family needs to break the cycle and sometimes they can be a gateway to the underlying factors because quite frankly a lot of people just remain in denial never get the help they need because they don't have an acute situation or crisis that forces them to figure out what's happening to them. I'm sorry that you had to be the mother to those that should have cared for you but I hope that you find something within yourself very soon that is nurturing for you and I wish you all the best.
Did judge Boyd just shut down GOD? That was the most beautiful, genuine, heartfelt statement I’ve ever heard. I wish the judge hadn’t cut her off. Especially after she let that trash mom go on & on!
I think the judge made a mistake too, but it was a bit too long and I don’t think the defense attorney could have held back tears much longer. The prosecutor as well had a few tears.
Talking about finding redemption through Jesus was an amazing gift to give the young man who killed her father. Saying God is speaking through you is quite a claim to make. She did give him the chance to see his prison sentence as a time to redeem himself. Which is a huge gift.
Thank you Cassandra!! You are a true disciple of our savior Jesus Christ!! I’ve watched judge Boyd’s videos and I’ve never heard the court room so quiet before!! Amen!!🙏🏼🙏🏼
The daughter of the victim brought me to tears. What she said was remarkable, in this day and age with the cynicism of society. I am an ordained minister and I ask God to give her and her family, peace. I also will pray for the defendant.
LOL I have noticed other purses but you are right, she loves her beautiful purses. I like the yellow one and the red one. She deserves them. She is an awesome woman.
There is one channel that streams her videos that when they refer back to a specific case they named the purse she had that day! I totally get it I'm a tomboy but I love my purses!
Thanks for the victim statement. It makes this real and NOT for entertainment. Thank you GOD! THANK you! For my chance a good life after a horrible childhood. Sobriety will change the world. One person at a time! God bless you Mrs. Castro, may your pain be replaced with moments of joyful memories!

The victim's daughter had such a beautiful response. It was very heartwarming and heart felt. I hope it helps others stop before evil is done for the future. One person makes a difference.
So who yelled and cursed out our beloved judge? Was that a typo or click bate? I love your channel. Plz plz don't do click batting. I watch all content from you because you do awesome videos. PS This wasn't the 1st time.
You don’t have to lie to get viewers. Judge Boyd is a national treasure. I appreciate you posting this, and I hope you share a sense of the same integrity that she encourages us all to have. You don’t have to lie to get me to watch JBoyd videos.
Cassandra Castro I am so sorry for your loss! Your father and our Father in Heavan are so proud of you. You took this horrific act and turned into an opportunity to show forgiveness and minister to this young man. I heard every word and prayed with you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Girl, you testify.. Praise the Lord!! Get behind him, Satan. Out of every impact statement that I have heard, this has to be the hands down best and most empathetic impact statement that I've heard. Bless them and the families and the outcome.
So this is what happens when the people who are responsible for a child’s safety don’t act when they see a problem. CPS can’t act without evidence, and they don’t have the legal right to enter a home without parents’ permission. On top of that they have to weigh risk against the damage they do separating kids from their parents, their home, the world they know. Don’t have a kid unless you are healthy, know how to parent and can financially support them.
Maybe I'm heartless, but literally nothing the sister or mother said has any relevance to the case at all. The convict should be sentenced based on the severity of the crime with no regard to how anyone *feels* about it.
I want to be Cassandra when I grow up! I only wish I could be that strong and take that opportunity when the murderer HAS to listen to her and then witness to not only him but the entire court room. WOW!
Don’t forget all the viewers on YT too that were watching that by the time she came on were invested and wanted to hear what she had to say - so they no doubt stayed to listen! Not only on this channel but the day this happened in court-and all the replays! That was amazing! What a strong woman she is! I don’t think I could forgive like she has. I may need to re-evaluate my life. I would like to think I could - but man she had me crying! I hope she is richly blessed for that! Have a great weekend! 😊
You don’t even have to have all the symptoms to have those problems. It really sucks when they don’t find out what all is mentally wrong. Makes life so much harder
I am so tired of people committing crimes and expecting to get away with it by blaming it on drug addiction while also blaming that drug addiction on how they were raised. NOT everyone who has had a bad childhood makes stupid choices. That’s all on the individual themselves. Our world is falling apart because we have taken responsibility for actions out of the hands of the people who are actually responsible. They have WAY too many excuses for their decisions given to them by people who are responsible for making the laws and rules.
Man, I know attorneys have to use every excuse in the book to represent zealously….among other things I was beaten by a grandparent when we broke the rules. I’m talking bend over and a leather belt. Older siblings really have trouble with her memory. I’m like, we knew what would happen if we misbehaved - we chose to anyway sometimes. Man, so to witness alcohol abuse, witness domestic violence. How about beatings. Graduated high school, made a life for myself. It’s the choices you make for yourself. I didn’t do drugs. Big choice! But if you choose drugs….gotta pay the big consequences.
❤I do agree it's a choice but I do think about woman and young girls who are manipulated or even made to do drugs so that they will want more therefore the man or woman can have total controll over them . I know I'm kinda getting a little off the issue here but I do agree with and like your comment. ❤
There is aIways a choice. Abeit hard or not, is up to you and how badIy they get the outcome they desire. Like you, I went thru the same. Only difference, my grandma made sure I never forgot she hated my dad, w/a passion. Up untiI age 12 and no Ionger needing a baby~sitter (IegaIIy), I received a “Get my (Ieather) beIt” whippin’, whether deserved or not. I knew not to misbehave while my mom was @work, or my gramma would be my baby~sitter again. AIso, my mom was as abusive as my grandma, but w/just more verbaI abuse than physicaI. Worst I did smoke MaryJ & drink a couple years in HS, but not enough to make them into habits. I wanted more out of Iife, than becoming the next strung~out bum on the streets, begging for change to buy Iiquor &/or smoke.
I understand the mother is trying to speak positively on her son's behalf, but to say she never had any problems with her son, in my opinion, puts a serious dent in her credibility.
This was so difficult to listen to. Judge Boyd, SPEAKS TRUTH. As someone in recovery, trust and believe, an addict/alcoholic is LYING, about everything, when active in their addiction. We all make choices and decisions. Make them honestly with opened heart, mind and eyes. Life is to short to do otherwise.
That is a powerful impact statement and the most truth spoken in that whole hearing. Blessed are those that forgive and share the good news. May the Lord grand her peace and comfort while grieving the loss of her father🙏
I love the doctor who testified for the defense for the young man. He really explained how childhood trauma and the effects of having drug abusing parents affect people. I would love to hear more from him. I hope the young man can get the help he needs and recover.

I didn't hear anyone curse at the judge! The video was good. Stop the click bait!
Thank you. I'm outta' here. I never sub to click bait....
2nd video too I've seen. Definitely unsubscribing
Ya, this channel is notorious for titles that never happened.....
Report the video!
@@Allthingsemmylux I never subscribed, I just clicked on “ don’t recommend this channel “ so it didn’t pop up again.
I can watch judge Boyd on on a number of channels. What I won't do is waste my time, nor subscribe to one who uses clickbait. Do better.
Im not watching anymore videos on this channel.
Many have made the very same comment to this streamer. Hasn’t learned.
Same
Please tell me other channel names so I can find them ❤
I agree. NOBODY likes clickbait and their channel will fail if they continue. Stop
Judge Boyd is SAVAGELY HONEST! I love her.
Want to bet the witnesses are high also.
I hate people who lie to get you to watch. Plus I couldn't understand the first lady at all
😆
I can’t understand a word she says. Eighteen years old and she can’t talk like an adult. My 3 year old great grandson can speak clearer than she can..
Thought it was just me. Like why is she crying??? She’s not on trial. Get it together woman
I’m scrolling past the First Lady. I can’t hear her. It’s mumbling sounds.
Can’t stand mumbling people , say it like u mean it!!
Why do the TH-camrs like you lie on your heading? This was a good case, you didn't have to mislabel it to get people to watch it.
This one does it all the time. It’s too bad, really. No need to.
They do this to get views and subscribers
So true
@@ellendickey4769Yeah, I think I'm going to just block this channel moving forward. It's really annoying that this is so common with this channel.
The mom and her boyfriend using drugs with the son? What are people thinking?
She should be accused.
She made a monster out of her son. Methedrine is a powerful amplifier of any mental disorder.
They aren't. If they were, they wouldn't use.
The mom had no boundaries using meth with son. Mom, you reap what you sow. Now you complain, worry and cry. Don’t feel sorry for mom.
and I'm pretty sure from her inaudible testimony that the sister is using as well
How the heck does the mom, talk to him daily? Her dang phone bill would b in the thousands, y’all didn’t talk that much b4, he’s been using alcohol since 6 th grade, prob drugs 2.. they paid that MD well.. the parents getting high with him, give me a break, I retired from county jail.. me : jury duty, I work for county jail, I wouldn’t b bias in these cases..

Cassandra, you are such a strong woman. I only pray that your strength rubs off on us All.
Where was the Karen that supposedly screamed and cursed at the judge?
Cassandra was very well spoken. She is genuinely a good Christian woman. God bless her. ❤❤❤❤❤
Drug induced psychosis combined with mental health issues!! Great role modelling by mum !! 😡
Terrible childhood or not, HE made the decision to take someone's life!!! He made that choice.
That seems to be standard when there is absolutely no other excuse for violent and unlawful actions. It's shameful that it works so often.
Wow! Mrs. Castro is an amazing young lady! I am crying listening to her impact statement. What a beautiful heart this young woman has. My thoughts and prayers are with her. ❤
I had to skip that it’s too much 😢
They were poor, but had money for drugs & alcohol ? The mother & boyfriend should be in prison for child abuse on every level.
First girl sounds like she under water drowning 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mumbling sister is no help.
She was pathetic
She's incredibly annoying
@objectionhearsay2415 Your point is? She needed to pull herself together.
She bugged the crap out of me.
I know it stung every single time she said "horrible" 😭😪
Judge Boyd, I love the way you handle your court cases, and I love the beautiful flowers you always have in the court room! 💞
With the purse !!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You don’t have to use clickbait for engagement. These videos are gold as they are
Thank you cause I was gone watch regardless but don't lie about it!!!
I agree!!! Very deceptive n dishonest!!!!!😡
Thank you I hate that
totally
That’s exactly what I was thinking. All they need to do is go “Judge Boyd” and I’m clicking 😂
The grace that young lady has was amazing 👏. She's right through the love & guidance of Jesus, she'll be ok.
THE YOUNG LADY CASSANDRA SPOKE POWERFUL WORDS TO MICHEAL I WAS CRYING 😢I HOPE HE LISTEN TO HER
This is one of the most beautiful victim's statement. She has love in her heart. Bless you Mrs. Cassandra Castro.
That first lady was mumbling so much. I couldn't understand a single word she said.
I hear you! I'm sick of Americans making a mockery of the English language.
Her speech was garbled also
With all that meth it's no wonder he was paranoid. I hope the damage is not permanent.
@@bettyprice7428 Maybe because she was high as a kite?
@incomitatus She wasn't HIGH, she was emotional 😢. Dod you not hear yhe defense attorney console her ⁉️
Holy heck… Cassandra had me in tears!! What a powerful victim impact statement. The best o e ever heard. Something tells me she is going to be ok.
Now he is going to finish living a horrible life in prison.
The impact statement had me in tears. It was so heart-wrenching and beautiful. God bless the family.
Cassandra Castro is an angel. What a profound testimony. What a godly forgiving woman. She cared more for the salvation of the convicted. I'm truly touched by her testimony. Many people talk religions, but this woman lives her religion and truly puts her faith in the one true God.

@patricialewis-neal376
I have no doubt, a day doesn’t go by she doesn’t already blame herself. Without your reminder.
I thought it was the mother that was going to scream at the judge.
Cassandra God bless you sweetheart, your Dad was blessed to have you. I’m so sorry for your loss.
That was, by far, the best impact statement I have ever heard! ✝️ God bless this young woman for turning a horrible and painful experience into hope and salvation! ❤ ✝️ 🙏🥰

Stay strong Miss Cassandra. Your daddy is watching over you and your family. God bless you and give you peace. 😢🙏🏽

Continued Blessings to you Mrs. Castro❤❤❤
I can’t 7nder stand the sister. She’s mumbling and words are slurring together.
Probably been smoking meth, just like mommy and brother.
I am in tears wow Cassandra I could feel God through you. I'm sorry for your loss don't ever stop you are powerful!
I could too. You can feel Him.

that prosecutor looks like the kind of person you don't wanna mess with but the coolest guy ever in his free time
I think that’s true. The mic picked up a brief conversation he had with the Judge about his 2 children (I think that’s what is was). He had a big smile.
He didn’t come to play with the rapid fire questions. Good prosecutor.
I had the joy of being a defendant against him…… He was damn good at his job, but once the case was closed he was nothing but kind and a nice man to me and everyone but 100% agree that he is absolutely on top of his job!!
When I see the Prosecutor’s pen come out and he starts circling words in his documents I know there will be some great cross examining.
Doing meth with the kids. This is unbelievable! Thank you, Judge, for clarification on that matter. Good GOD ALMIGHTY. What is wrong with these people? Too bad you can't put the whole family on probation.
Laughing, joking, smoking a blunt and then all of a sudden 3 gun shots. Not so fun now is it. Hard to tell what all drugs the kid was using and did it with his mom and her bf or whoever he is. No one understood because no one tried to. Wow smh
The parents should go to prison for all they did to this young man
Damn! I hope those parents heard everything Judge Boyd had to say!
I had a feeling she was going to say it.
I am sure they did as they went to the car and lit it all up and saying how unfair the judge was blah!
Thank you Judge Boyd. You were correct in your assessment and sentence.
I just love judge boydd 😂
She is a Guiding Light
That daughter spoke very well,God Bless her,I am do sorry for her loss.She eill be alright🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Amen! To God be the glory. What a testimony from a young woman in her own pain. May God bless you and your family mightily. I pray Michael's mother and sister and all Courtroom is listening.
Holy cow...I got teary eyed hearing Cassandra.. God gave her the exact words here and I don't think you could have said it any better!
Same here 🙋🏻♀️ I cried through her entire victim statement. Very powerful

He needs to be held responsible for his actions. He had a choice, and he chose wrong! Say no to drugs!

With all that crap I had to live through I have never had a Alcohol or drug addiction. Never in my life have I ever been in trouble with the law.

It appears that Michael and his sister have a very dull affect an inability to communicate and are unable to put cohesive sentences together Presumably they were ignored for the most part and had no intellectual stimulation whatsoever In your case although highly dysfunctional I'm guessing that the people in your family when they were not having episodes were more intelligent and able to communicate and somehow transfer that on to you genetically and in some ways environmentally or maybe you had a mentor or early schooling that was good or grandparents because things don't happen in a vacuum but that said you deserve all the credit and congratulations on living a successful life and a moral one for your children.❤
I'm sorry for what happened to you in your young life. But I am proud of you for being strong & doing good with your life. Not letting that abuse destroy you.
Congratulations on breaking the cycle and giving a better life to your children! Hard to even imagine choosing to do meth with your child!
You should be proud, my mother grew up with an abusive alcoholic father, incest, drug abuse, in and out of prison, verbally, mentally and physically abusive. There was no structure, not encouraged to pursue further education, sexual abuse then happened to my cousin...my mother didn't drink or do drugs. However, throughout my entire life and I'm 51, she has struggled with severe depression, in and out of mental institutions my whole life and it has had a huge affect on me because I have always had to be the mother.

But, I refuse to live like my mom, full of anger and passive aggressive behavior, alienate person after person. That behavior has left a lot of anger and frustration towards her. I still manage to have a close relationship with her. I don't want to harbor bad feelings so I don't do the same things despite my illness. I also decided to break the changes. I furthered my education and before early retirement I had a great career. But, LIKE my mother I married a man that has stuck by me in sickness in health. I decided I never wanted to live like my grandparents, my parents and just be different. We have a sober home intentionally. We just didn't want to have the same life and attitude or resentment. She can't or maybe just won't change. But, I can remove myself from her presence when I feel myself feeling bitterness. Like you, I chose a different path! You should be proud. 😊
@@kimberlysmith1282 What this generation has , psychologically speaking thst the former generations have not is the body of research that depicts the structure of the brain by way of fmri Imaging and other techniques. What this has provided is how chemicals in the brain change with stress and the actual shape of the forebrain changes with trauma .The neuroscience called Neuroplasticity and there are articles and research papers on the subject on the internet ,can actually reverse some of the damage to the brain done by PTSD I know that doctors are quick to prescribe medication which in most cases are not helpful and are often harmful and create more depression but if you absolutely need psychotropic medication then by all means as a temporary solution then of course . I also think that modern psychologists are very quick to label certain mental conditions but I think those are exaggerated sometimes as well. I think all of these behaviors that you're describing that are generational are because of lack of impulse control and I think might be classified as addictions as you probably know. All addictions are pretty much the same - food ,sex ,drugs ,alcohol abuse so once a person figures out what the underlying cause of all the addictions is the resolution is at hand and the cycle is broken. You mentioned that you had what might be classified as a nervous breakdown but who knows it could be a nervous breakthrough because often those crises are an opportunity to take a real look at the history and get the help the family needs to break the cycle and sometimes they can be a gateway to the underlying factors because quite frankly a lot of people just remain in denial never get the help they need because they don't have an acute situation or crisis that forces them to figure out what's happening to them. I'm sorry that you had to be the mother to those that should have cared for you but I hope that you find something within yourself very soon that is nurturing for you and I wish you all the best.
Did judge Boyd just shut down GOD? That was the most beautiful, genuine, heartfelt statement I’ve ever heard. I wish the judge hadn’t cut her off. Especially after she let that trash mom go on & on!
she didn't get to finish her statement cuz judge was feeling uncomfortable....
I think the judge made a mistake too, but it was a bit too long and I don’t think the defense attorney could have held back tears much longer. The prosecutor as well had a few tears.
Talking about finding redemption through Jesus was an amazing gift to give the young man who killed her father. Saying God is speaking through you is quite a claim to make. She did give him the chance to see his prison sentence as a time to redeem himself. Which is a huge gift.
Seriously, clickbaiting is no way to grow your channel. There's way too much competition out there to do that, do better.
Mom's on drugs herself.
Thank you Cassandra!! You are a true disciple of our savior Jesus Christ!! I’ve watched judge Boyd’s videos and I’ve never heard the court room so quiet before!! Amen!!🙏🏼🙏🏼
In the end he needs to be accountable for his actions
Remarkable victim impact statement, remarkable woman !
This Father, in this Impact Statement, is probably up in heaven saying, “Did you catch that? Yep, that’s my daughter! Mine.”
That impact statement! Amen girl.
The daughter of the victim brought me to tears. What she said was remarkable, in this day and age with the cynicism of society. I am an ordained minister and I ask God to give her and her family, peace. I also will pray for the defendant.
horrible -- i love this judge -- horrible -- this judge is honorable and fair in all of the cases I've watched
Judge Boyd has 365 purses at least. Has anyone ever noticed she never has the same purse sitting next to her?😂
The late Queen of England had a lot of hats and outfits, Judge Boyd has her purses! They are awesome by the way!
LOL I have noticed other purses but you are right, she loves her beautiful purses. I like the yellow one and the red one. She deserves them. She is an awesome woman.
@@brendaarnold8485 now I'm noticing different glasses!!!! You can tell that she's a woman of detail
How many different wigs do you think she has
There is one channel that streams her videos that when they refer back to a specific case they named the purse she had that day! I totally get it I'm a tomboy but I love my purses!
Thanks for the victim statement. It makes this real and NOT for entertainment. Thank you GOD! THANK you! For my chance a good life after a horrible childhood. Sobriety will change the world. One person at a time! God bless you Mrs. Castro, may your pain be replaced with moments of joyful memories!
The victim's daughter had such a beautiful response. It was very heartwarming and heart felt. I hope it helps others stop before evil is done for the future. One person makes a difference.
Cassandra taking this time to share the love of Jesus with this defendant is amazing!
So who yelled and cursed out our beloved judge? Was that a typo or click bate? I love your channel. Plz plz don't do click batting. I watch all content from you because you do awesome videos.
PS This wasn't the 1st time.
You don’t have to lie to get viewers. Judge Boyd is a national treasure. I appreciate you posting this, and I hope you share a sense of the same integrity that she encourages us all to have. You don’t have to lie to get me to watch JBoyd videos.
I am openly weeping. I hope that boy has heard even half of what she has said.
The words of the daughter were not just for the defendant but the whole court for we are all guilty of sin Thankyou for your forgiveness Lord 😇JESUS
Thanks for the thumb up😇
That defense attorney has to pull answers out of the family members. Seriously you want to help Michael SPEAK UP! Be strong geez
I remember this case. This mother set her son up for failure
Beautiful impact statement ❤
Cassandra Castro I am so sorry for your loss! Your father and our Father in Heavan are so proud of you. You took this horrific act and turned into an opportunity to show forgiveness and minister to this young man. I heard every word and prayed with you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Girl, you testify.. Praise the Lord!! Get behind him, Satan. Out of every impact statement that I have heard, this has to be the hands down best and most empathetic impact statement that I've heard. Bless them and the families and the outcome.
Who ever was moved by Cassandra’s statement, can I get an Amen🙏🏾
So this is what happens when the people who are responsible for a child’s safety don’t act when they see a problem. CPS can’t act without evidence, and they don’t have the legal right to enter a home without parents’ permission. On top of that they have to weigh risk against the damage they do separating kids from their parents, their home, the world they know. Don’t have a kid unless you are healthy, know how to parent and can financially support them.
That young man never had a chance! He will be out and pray he heals and gets help. I had to when I was younger
I feel so bad for the man’s daughter, family and friends. She was very gracious. I will pray for them and the young man, this is tragic.
Judge Boyd is my hero ❤!
Maybe I'm heartless, but literally nothing the sister or mother said has any relevance to the case at all.
The convict should be sentenced based on the severity of the crime with no regard to how anyone *feels* about it.
Those drugs can cause violent outbursts, having a hard time believing mental health. They always try to throw that in to get someone off
I want to be Cassandra when I grow up! I only wish I could be that strong and take that opportunity when the murderer HAS to listen to her and then witness to not only him but the entire court room. WOW!
Don’t forget all the viewers on YT too that were watching that by the time she came on were invested and wanted to hear what she had to say - so they no doubt stayed to listen! Not only on this channel but the day this happened in court-and all the replays! That was amazing! What a strong woman she is! I don’t think I could forgive like she has. I may need to re-evaluate my life. I would like to think I could - but man she had me crying! I hope she is richly blessed for that! Have a great weekend! 😊
Judge’s concise summary for this unfortunate young man was exceptional and wise. I hope this man comprehended her information
A mother that uses meth with her kids doesn’t make a very good witness. Smh
I never seen anyone yell?
Thank you. Not going to waste my time...
😂 didn't think anyone was that ignorant to holler at Judge Boyd
That was totally clickbait. This channel is going to lose many subscribers because of it. No need for it!!!
You don’t even have to have all the symptoms to have those problems. It really sucks when they don’t find out what all is mentally wrong. Makes life so much harder
AMEN. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. ❤❤❤
I am so tired of people committing crimes and expecting to get away with it by blaming it on drug addiction while also blaming that drug addiction on how they were raised. NOT everyone who has had a bad childhood makes stupid choices. That’s all on the individual themselves. Our world is falling apart because we have taken responsibility for actions out of the hands of the people who are actually responsible. They have WAY too many excuses for their decisions given to them by people who are responsible for making the laws and rules.
Man, I know attorneys have to use every excuse in the book to represent zealously….among other things I was beaten by a grandparent when we broke the rules. I’m talking bend over and a leather belt. Older siblings really have trouble with her memory. I’m like, we knew what would happen if we misbehaved - we chose to anyway sometimes. Man, so to witness alcohol abuse, witness domestic violence. How about beatings. Graduated high school, made a life for myself. It’s the choices you make for yourself. I didn’t do drugs. Big choice! But if you choose drugs….gotta pay the big consequences.
❤I do agree it's a choice but I do think about woman and young girls who are manipulated or even made to do drugs so that they will want more therefore the man or woman can have total controll over them . I know I'm kinda getting a little off the issue here but I do agree with and like your comment. ❤
There is aIways a choice. Abeit hard or not, is up to you and how badIy they get the outcome they desire.
Like you, I went thru the same. Only difference, my grandma made sure I never forgot she hated my dad, w/a passion. Up untiI age 12 and no Ionger needing a baby~sitter (IegaIIy), I received a “Get my (Ieather) beIt” whippin’, whether deserved or not. I knew not to misbehave while my mom was @work, or my gramma would be my baby~sitter again. AIso, my mom was as abusive as my grandma, but w/just more verbaI abuse than physicaI.
Worst I did smoke MaryJ & drink a couple years in HS, but not enough to make them into habits. I wanted more out of Iife, than becoming the next strung~out bum on the streets, begging for change to buy Iiquor &/or smoke.
I understand the mother is trying to speak positively on her son's behalf, but to say she never had any problems with her son, in my opinion, puts a serious dent in her credibility.
This was so difficult to listen to. Judge Boyd, SPEAKS TRUTH. As someone in recovery, trust and believe, an addict/alcoholic is LYING, about everything, when active in their addiction. We all make choices and decisions. Make them honestly with opened heart, mind and eyes. Life is to short to do otherwise.
That is a powerful impact statement and the most truth spoken in that whole hearing. Blessed are those that forgive and share the good news. May the Lord grand her peace and comfort while grieving the loss of her father🙏
Parent and son using together.
I will call my dad and my mom later.
I will thank them and they will have no idea why.
God bless this beautiful daughter and I pray that God will bless her for her obedience and for her forgiving heart. 🙏🏾
Bless this child that lost her dad and knows her father ❤❤
I love the doctor who testified for the defense for the young man. He really explained how childhood trauma and the effects of having drug abusing parents affect people. I would love to hear more from him. I hope the young man can get the help he needs and recover.
