Carpathian aka Court clerk John Beideman's jury trial for alleged molestation of his stepdaughter has started with individual jurors being questioned in a closed courtroom by Judge Kaleb Cockrum and the attorneys.
The District Attorney has made an offer of 16 years in prison which is the upper aggravated term for PC 288.5.

If he goes to jury trial and is convicted of even one of the PC 288.7 (a) or (b) charges, he is facing life in prison even for a first offense.

Starting today at 11, groups of 5 jurors are scheduled every hour. The jurors were sworn in as a group, heard the definition of reasonable doubt and then each juror is being questioned individually in a closed courtroom. The next group is scheduled at 1:30, then 2:30. The jurors have all completed the long questionnaire.
There will be three dark days as Mr. Russ Clanton has pre set dates in other jurisdictions. Those dates are November 19, December 3 and 7.
