Convicted molestor and rapist sentenced 160 years to life 


Convicted molestor and rapist Michael Flower's sentencing was continued from September 30 to today. Another perv client represented by Russ Clanton. Another case only covered by me.

Flowers  faced another prison sentence; this time for life and he had already pulled the typical ploy to delay sentencing. Today, he was finally sentenced.

Flowers is a great example of why parole doesn't work criminals who are pervs and murderers shouldn't be released either.

"The upcoming retrial should be narrowed to focus on the felony counts.  The evidence allowed into trial should pertain solely to whether or not Mr. Christie deprived the cows in question of food and water or allowed the cows to needlessly suffer.  The People continue to threaten to make this trial a referendum on Mr. Christie’s character. "


Setting of a new trial dates, setting of pre trial motions and 502 hearing for Ray Christie is scheduled tomorrow. Judge Christopher Wilson was very clear that just dates would be set on October 6 so I will add an update to the post tomorrow.

The hearings to cover are the motions in limine and the 502 hearing. On October 1, Mr. Rick Richmond filed a declaration and defendant's brief regarding substance, scope and scheduling of evidentiary hearing.
