The court hearing presided over by Raquel West focused on defendant Daniel Ibaro’s sentencing in two theft-related felony cases. Mr. Ibaro had previously pleaded guilty to theft charges under cause numbers 24 DCCR1722 and 24 DCCR2289. Both charges were enhanced to second-degree felonies due to his extensive criminal history, exposing him to up to 10 years of imprisonment per case. The prosecution presented additional criminal records from multiple states, including prior convictions for assault, drug possession, and fleeing law enforcement, arguing that public safety must be prioritized due to his long history of offenses dating back decades.

The defense argued that Mr. Ibaro’s crimes were closely linked to his methamphetamine addiction and difficult life circumstances. They emphasized that he had recently entered inpatient rehabilitation, was attending counseling, and expressed strong motivation to remain drug-free. The defense suggested that substance abuse drove his criminal behavior rather than intent to harm others. Mr. Ibaro personally addressed the court, expressing remorse, explaining that addiction had dominated much of his life, and stating that he was now working on recovery steps such as attending support programs and finding personal purpose.

Judge West acknowledged Mr. Ibaro’s recent efforts but expressed concern that rehabilitation attempts began only after legal consequences became severe. She highlighted his long criminal record, including multiple misdemeanors and felony convictions across several states, noting that responsibility must be taken before crimes occur, not after arrest. Ultimately, she sentenced Mr. Ibaro to 7 years in the Texas Department of Corrections for each case, to run concurrently. She also warned him about legal restrictions on firearm or ammunition possession following conviction.
