" If they found him guilty, than "WHY" is he getting special treatment? You have a girl in a parking lot, and a young man that ran to her and saved her. Police report states that he was caught with his pants down "literally"! Why should he have a retrial? I am damn sick of paying tax dollars for this kind of preferencial treatment just because the defendant is the son of a big wig! Were is the fairness here? The guy needs to be placed in a court ordered rehab to come clean obviously, before the court sets a criminal free and he does this to another "INNOCENT" female!!! Dang were is the justice here? "

" Go figure! "

" Any clues as to the reason the new attorney is submitting the motion for a new trial? Was there a compelling reason submitted in court? Inquiring minds want to know. "

" If this was anyone else, he would be in prison serving his sentence by now. Deny, Deny, Deny delay, delay, delay it's what makes our court systems go around. You want a delay fire your attorney, you want another delay tell them you need more time to make up your mind how you wish to proceed. Get this person the help he needs and then let him serve out his punishment for what he did. He obviously has a problem society hasn't been able to fix. The continued plea bargains for probation haven't done the trick. It's time to hospitalize him give him treatment and the help he so desperately needs. He has some strange habits and behavior those need to be addressed. Don't lock him up and throw away the key for five years treat the ailments several of which seem to be psychological. Do it now before someone else is hurt. "

" I feel sorry for Clinton Calhoun, according to his mother he was getting passed out drunk in high school. Some how Clinton was able to stay one step before the law all these years, I woner how? "

" Alan, the how and the why behind the motion were apparently discussed during the closed door session they had last time. During Thursday's session, nothing else was said aside from what I mentioned in my article. I've attempted numerous times to pull the court case file and get some answers from there, but since the matter is being prosecuted by the State Attorney General's Office, the file has been missing in action for a while now, presumably because they have it in Sacramento and it isn't being kept locally. If I get a chance to talk to Mrs. Tartar, I'll be sure to ask her what is going on here and write an update about it. "

" Thanks Joe! "

" Joe What about the Doctor that spent an hour with the judge. Maybe you should check with him. "

" Addicition is a disease which tears families apart. It is emotiionally draining. Until family members get educated about what they are dealing with and how to navigate through the challenges associated with addiction emotions take over. Getting an addict to admit he or she needs help is hard, especially when they are young. Next add in a drug like methamphetamine (which most people in this community are very ignorant about) and the problem is compounded ten times. Jails and prisons are filled with addicts who repeat crimes when released because the root problem has not been dealt with by the system or the inmate. I too want to live in a safe commulnity, but people with a history like Mr. Calhoun's need to be directed to incarceration that includes rehabilitation for the disease that they carry. I know many people in this community who once received very harsh judgement for their addiction, however, they have been in recovery for many years now and live very productive lives. They praise God, rehabilitation resources, and the support of people who loved and believed in them. The worth of a soul is great. "

" Just more money to spend!!!! "

" The cost of rehabilitation is far less that incarceration in a number of ways. At least there is a chance of having the person become a productive member of society. If we don't wake up and think differently we will be spending the rest of our lives financing more jails and prisons. There is only so much the employed taxpaying public can bear. "

" Funny, we the tax payers are paying for this sex offenders defense and all his motions to delay. Clinton Calhoun sure knows how to take advantage of the system.I wonder how Clinton kowns so much about the legal system? "
