Human trafficking case sentencing continued until November 10

Today, David Anderson, who pleaded guilty after his case was to be tried for the third time, was to be sentenced by Judge Dale Reinholtsen.

Dressed in orange jumpsuit and in cuffs, now with a full grown beard, Anderson's victims
will have to wait a few more days for closure.

Defense attorney Mr. Ben McLaughlin asked to approach the judge, after that  Mr. McLaughlin said," for reasons stated, we ask sentencing be continued until Monday."

Anderson did not look happy when Mr. McLaughlin spoke with him after speaking to the Judge and prosecutor DDA Luke Brownfield..

"One of the counts he pleaded to initially was incorrect.  We were simply modifying the charging document to accurately reflect the disposition," Mr. McLaughlin told me.

In court, Mr. Brownfield said that the  DA's had to file a document with court before sentencing.

I was the only one to cover this case but for sentencing today, I was glad to see TS' Will Houston in court.

will update with previous links tomorrow...
