Get rid of your attorney client privilege, then delay sentencing

A hearing was scheduled on March 1 to see if Judge Christopher Wilson would thear Mark Dare's motion for new trial or assign it to another judge.

Yet, again, clarification of Judge Kaleb Cockrum's order was brought up. How many times does it have to be clarified? Judge Cockrum was very clear. There are transcripts of hearings and court minutes. The only ones with an "issue" and needing "clarification" are the same people for the last few hearings who want a delay.

Judge Cockrum recused himself at the last hearing. The latest strategy by Dare is just another delay tactic by the master manipulator to delay going to prison.

The support for a new trial from Public Defender Marek Reavis is not a surprise and with Mr. Russ Clanton, who has represented several convicted child molestors, in the mix, there was another twist yesterday.

If you have followed this case and the jury trial,  Dare is a creep, likes young girls, is a perv and Mr. Reavis refuses to accept facts despite overwhelming evidence. He was convicted by a jury, who served due to COVID, were very attentive and stayed after the verdict to talk to attorneys.

A new pleading was filed by Mr. Reavis on February 24. Mr. Reavis said "it was more than the clarification of Judge Cockrum's order."

"I did not see my obligation to the Court, by Judge Cockrum, to present a motion for a new trial," said Mr. Clanton. "After two clarifications, my obligation was to investigate potential was ineffective assistance of counsel."

"My understanding is that it was to investigate one potential claim of ineffective assistance of counsel and it was only regarding discovery," said Mr. Reavis. "The confidentiality of the Marsden hearing is ruptured/convoluted. I may not be able to respond in open litigation. Mr. Clanton filed. The DA had to respond."

"This matter won't be revisited," said Mr. Reavis. "It will be taken up on appeal. It won't be addressed at sentencing."

Mr. Reavis asked Judge Wilson to order a new trial. Due to "my own impending retirement, I won't be counsel. Someone from my office can handle the case."

"I support the issue of attorney/client privilege," said Mr. Clanton.

"When Judge Cockrum had appointed Mr. Clanton to investigate whether Mr. Dare had seen discovery," said Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm, "Mr. Dare got rid of his attorney/client privilege in a 10 page letter. Nothing Mr. Clanton filed or the People filed is reason to grant a new trial. He told Mr. Clanton at least two different times to investigate claims." 

Judge Wilson said that he was not the trial judge but that Judge Cockrum's request was limited to discovery. Judge Wilson scheduled a hearing on March 8 before Judge Cockrum for further clarification and then it would be back before Judge Wilson.
