Rhett August, Tree's alleged victim, released on cruz waiver on his own court case

Rhett August, who was allegedly shot by Bodhi Tree, has a court case of his own. EPD was responding to a domestic violence call and found meth. August changed his plea today to guilty. His case has been referred to probation for a pre-sentencing report.

August was released to his mother on a cruz waiver and is expected to enter a dual diagnosis treatment progtam. His defense attorney is Ben McLaughlin and prosecuting for the people is Elan Firpo.

Elan is also prosecuting the Tree case.

August seem relieved to be released today but his terse yes responses to Judge John Feeney as he was being advised of rights and conditions was interesting to observe. He gets to be released and sent home prior to sentencing, something not every one gets to do and he seems exasperated that the Judge is making sure he understands his rights and conditions of release?
