Visiting Judge Terrence Boren held Mark Dare to answer on all charges.
Windy Dare showed emotion twice today in the courtroom. First on the stand, just for a few seconds during her testimony today when she said it was hard to talk about her child, Jane Doe #1. She seemed distraught leaving the courtroom after the Judge's ruling. Mark Dare was cuffed and taken out of the courtroom.
Her testimony was favorable to her husband and disputed most of Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 claims. She did corroborate the conversation she had with Jane Doe #2 about her own molestation at Hometown buffet and some other testimony by her daughters.
A larger contigent supporting Mark Dare was in the courtroom today. The pastor from Seventh Day Adventist was present.
Dare still has his job in Eureka, however he lost a job in Utah. The Dares were planning to move to Utah but Mark Dare's arrest days before has shelved that move.
Bail reduction hearing is on February 16 at 8:30 a.m. Dare's bail is currently set at 2.4 million. Arraignment on information is March 4.

Excellent Reporting John. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteMaybe #Girlboss, Windy, would be outraged if her husband, who she boasts of calling her “super woman” routinely sexually violated her two white mutts instead of her own two daughters... What kind of a good “Christian” woman would choose to believe a man, even if he is her husband, over her own precious children? People need to believe the evidence put before them. Shame on her too! They are both disgusting. I’m curious to know how much access they had to other children in the Church.
ReplyDeleteThe problem, as you well know in many of these cases, Majestic is that I post what is stated in court or court documents. Due to my coverage of sexual molestation and rape cases that others do not dare cover or think are worth investing into, I have earned trust in the community that I have earned from victims, families and even defendant families. That is true for other coverage as well. It is very disappointing to me to see that because I invest time and look into court records, local court rules and challenges make it very difficult to obtain information and documents. Chad Smith, Cory Fisher, John Beideman, Mark Dare, Seng Yang, to name just a few have many similarities and patterns. When preliminary hearings are delayed, I want to print certain information but I don't. People do not take into account the pressure and wear and tear the alleged victims go through and that other victims out there may exist. Take Cory Fisher's case. There is a lot of development in journalism about covering these type of cases cases that locally no one has a clue about including victim rights' advocates. The wannabe keyboard critics who think they know reporting or law are ignorant and more than often related to someone in a case, in some fashion.
DeletePeople in a small town are used to sweeping things under the rug. There are so many layers and unrelated drama in these cases which affects the entire community and safety. Perhaps the church members should read Matthdw :16.
So far, it sounds like a "he says" "she/s says." Where is the physical evidence, is what I am wondering. I don't know who is telling the truth, and who is not. I just wonder though, how he is held at such a weighty bail, without tangible evidence?
ReplyDeleteThis is not a divorce case or a civil case. There has to be more than he said/she said to bring on a criminal case. The testimony of these children adds to the bulk of the case evidence I think.
