Bodhi Tree's attempted murder victim Rhett August's sentencing postponed for a week

Rhett August, who was allegedly shot by Bodhi Tree last May 2014 had a bench warrant issued for not being in court. The post listed below is from April 16, 2014. There are other posts on the blog.

On May 21, 2014 Rhett August was in court with his attorney Russ Clanton and his mother. His mother who is not happy that her son's case is being covered, glared at me. Mr. Clanton has spoken to her after I spoke with him a couple of months ago, and he said he explained to Ms. August why information in an open court is public information.

Roger Rees was covering Courtroom 1 for Luke Brownfield. Mr. Clanton asked Judge John Feeney if counsel could approach. They had a private discussion, again, and then Judge Feeney said that the bench warrant was recalled and that sentencing was continued until May 28 at 2 p.m. and that the petition to revoke probation would also be addressed at the same time.

Rhett August looked healthier and seemed to be mentally in better spirits than when he was in custody.

Rhett August out on cruz waiver not in court for sentencing today, defense requested continuance 

Rhett August, who was released to his mother, and at the last court hearing was supposed to enter a dual diagnosis program was not in court for sentencing today.

This was to happen in Courtroom 1. August is being represented by Ben McLaughlin. Luke Brownfield is prosecuting the case.  Today Mr. Russ Clanton was Mr. August's new lawyer.  Mr. Clanton asked to approach and after that private discussion between the Judge and counsel, a request to continue was granted. Next court date is May 21 at 2 p.m.
