2 (Open court, Defendant present.) 

3 THE COURT: This is F-2003-0377-C, the State 

4 versus William Boyd Pierce, for sentencing today. 

5 State ready? 

6 MR. FLEMING: State is ready, Your Honor. 

7 TilE COURT: Defense ready? 

8 MR. BORKE: Yes, sir. 

9 THE COUR'!': And, Hr. Pierce, back in August of 

10 this year, you ~gan your trial -- actually, it was in fron~ of a 

!1 visiting judge. You began your trial, and you absconded partial 

12 way through the trial. They co~:~pleted the trial in absentia, and 

13 you have been apprehended and brought bad to Denton County. 

14 Is there any reason at law why you should not be 

15 sentenced at this time? 

16 MR. BURKE: No, sir. 

li TBE COURT: It is therefore the order, judgment, 

18 sentence, and decree of the Court that you be taken by the 

19 Sheriff of Denton County and by hie safely kept and by him held 

20 ·.mtil you can be transferred to an authorized receiving agent for 

21 the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal 

22 Justice wherein you shall be confined for a period of 60 years or 

23 ~ntil your sentence is otherwise discharged by operation of law. 

24 And how many days was he in jail originally? 

25 MR. BURKE: Several months, Judge. Can I look 

ROBERT L. FRENCH, CSR (940) 349-2332 

1 that up and let ,yq~ bow? He Is been in Utah, and then ,he was 

2 transferred down here. I didn't kr.ow till last night that he was 

3 here. 

4 THE COURT: All right. If you will look that up. 

5 Now, Hr. Pierce, I believe that there is some 

6 question about whether or not you have the right to appeal this 

7 case because I -- there is at least a possibility that the time 

8 · for appeal ran while you were still at large and that has expired 

9 at this time. I am going to leave Hr. Burke on the case to 

10 explore that possibility if you wish to appeal. 

11 THE DEfENDANT: Yes, sir. 

12 : , THE COURT: I am .of the opin~on that yo~ probably 

13 don't. Mr. Burke is a very line lawyer, and he may be able to • 

14 find some law that would convince me othe01ise, so I will leave 

15 him on for that purpose. 

16 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, could I ask a 

l1 question? 

18 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

THE DEFENDANT: How can they use the enhancement 

paragraph when it wasn't alleged in the indictment, sir? 

THE COURT: llell, you need to talk to your lawyer 

about that. 

THE OEFEND~.NT: Okay. That is or.e of the thir.gs 

at issue, you know. 

iHE COURT: All right. That will conclude the
