3 year supervised probation for Rhett August, alleged first victim in the Bodhi Tree case

Today in Courtroom 1 this afternoon, Rhett August was in court to be sentenced for one case and to be arraigned for a petition to revoke probation.

August testified last week in the Bodhi Tree jury trial which is going on right now in Courtroom Four. He was in court accompanied by his mother.

Rhett August is the victim in the first shooting that Bodhi Tree is charged with; he has also been in court for another incident which has nothing to do with Bodhi Tree. Please check the blog for previous posts and background on both cases.

Russ Clanton is representing August and Luke Brownfield is prosecuting the case for the People. Judge Feeney said that in addition to the Probation report, an addendum to the Probation report, he received character reference letters provided by August's family.

His tentative decision was to grant three years of supervised probation to August and to reinstate probation for four older cases.

I had to leave for the Ferrer prelim so I will update this post with a few more details and final decision tomorrow.
