Judge recused from case involving 3 ex-SAPD officers accused of fatally shooting woman
SUMMARY: A new judge will oversee the trial of three former San Antonio police officers charged in the shooting death of Melissa Perez. Concerns were raised about Judge Stephanie Boyd’s ability to fairly preside, leading Fourth Administrative Judge Sid Harl to grant the defense’s request to remove her from the case. Defense attorney Jeff Goss argued that Judge Boyd’s insistence on proceeding quickly, amid his paternity leave and a lack of time to review evidence, created an untenable situation for his client. Additionally, the defense criticized Boyd’s YouTube channel for potentially misrepresenting court proceedings. The identity of the new judge remains undisclosed.
Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court will not be presiding over the case of three former SAPD officers charged with fatally shooting a woman inside her apartment last summer.
