Don't like your sentence, use every loophole provided in the criminal justice system to delay taking responsibility

Dino Cardelli, who was convicted in 2011 on child molestation and sentenced to 18 years had a Marsden hearing on 8/1/14. Today at 2 p.m. in Courtroom 8, there is a hearing scheduled for status of appointed counsel. I will post in the afternoon if there are any developments.

Listed below in a separate post is the background in this case with two Times-Standard articles.

Besides the Cardelli case, there is the Littlefield case. Both involving child molestation, in both cases, no responsibility taken by the defendant. Instead both are using the criminal justice system and legitimate processes to ensure rights to see if they can get a get out of free jail card.

They were convicted by a jury of peers, if the Littlefield case goes to trial for the third time, besides the expense to the State, what about the victim's in these cases? Healing is not possible when the wound gets opened again and gain.

There are several posts on the Littlefield case on this blog which can be easily accessed by those not familiar with the cases. There are regular readers who follow these cases so I am not going to link the posts.
