A Texas court hearing gained significant attention when District Judge Stephanie Boyd confronted a woman charged with assaulting a minor regarding her use of the N-word. In a viral clip on YouTube, the judge oversees the proceeding as the defendant pleads no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge. After reviewing the plea agreement, Judge Boyd scrutinizes a police report phrase in which the woman described the victim having "n-knocked" on her door. When asked about this term, the defendant hesitates before revealing its meaning and suggests it refers to knocking and running away. The judge probes further, emphasizing the inappropriateness of the term and questioning its racial implications. The woman claims her use of the word was not intended to be derogatory, expressing distress over children accidentally knocking on her door. Concluding the session, Judge Boyd imposes a $500 fine, community service, and anger management requirements while reinforcing the importance of respectful language. Boyd's courtroom often sparks viral moments for her straightforward approach.
