JUDGE SAYS “NO MORE CHANCES!” — Craig Kantu DENIED Probation & Sentenced to 5 Years

Описание: This courtroom hearing follows Craig Kantu, charged with Assault Family Household — Impeding Breath / Choking, a third-degree felony with a punishment range up to 10 years in prison.

Despite his request for deferred adjudication, a clean chance, and entry into drug rehabilitation, the state pushes back with a long list of prior convictions — assault, resisting arrest, drug possession — and argues he has already failed treatment programs multiple times.

His attorney tries to show improvement: GED progress, certificates, willingness for rehab — but Judge Boyd weighs his past, evaluates his history like a “credit report,” and ultimately makes a decision that changes everything.

⚖️ Final Outcome:
Judge Boyd denies probation, finds him guilty & sentences him to 5 years in prison, no contact with complainant, & no contact with minors.

Was this justice — or was he improving too late?
