Vandeman Sentenced.
Reposting from MTBR...
"30 days, to be served on the sheriff's work detail (picking up trash). No actual prison to be served, if the Sheriff takes him. The program costs some money, too. He also gets credit for having been in custody for 7 days. Judge said picking up trash was a good plan for a passionate environmentalist like MV. Has to stay off the UC trails for 3 years. DA asked for 270 days. Judge said that since MV didn't have a record and no one was really hurt, lighter sentence was appropriate. Apparently, MV sent a letter to the judge, which the judge returned, unopened to his defense counsel this morning. Defendants aren't supposed to send letters about sentencing to the judge without their counsel's approval, but MV did anyway." |

Hell Bells, those of us who respect the environment are always picking up other's trash anyway. Has to stay off the UC trails for 3 years. UC is as ****ed-up as the whole state of California. DA asked for 270 days. Judge said that since MV didn't have a record and no one was really hurt, lighter sentence was appropriate. The mountain bikers are the ones who should have been on trial. An appropriate sentence for THEM would have been a good horsewhipping. Apparently, MV sent a letter to the judge, which the judge returned, unopened to his defense counsel this morning. Defendants aren't supposed to send letters about sentencing to the judge without their counsel's approval, but MV did anyway."

Do I get credit for that somehow? I would not call MV a passionate environmentalist. What he does hurts the environment far more than it helps it. A misguided, wannabe environmentalist, would be more accurate. Has to stay off the UC trails for 3 years. A 3 year trail ban is rather short. Of course UC can ban anyone they want from their trails for as long as they want, should they so choose. DA asked for 270 days. Judge said that since MV didn't have a record and no one was really hurt, lighter sentence was appropriate. Yeah, that's not an unfair sentence, given the cost to the state of keeping someone in custody. |

Yeah, that's not an unfair sentence, given the cost to the state of keeping someone in custody. Mikey also has to pay for the program... Sheriff's Work Alternative Program (S.W.A.P.) It is the intent of Sheriff Gregory J. Ahern to maintain the highest standards of public confidence, credibility and public safety when implementing alternatives to confinement programs. Participation in the programs shall occur only when the Sheriff concludes that a person meets the specified criteria. The Sheriffs Work Alternative Program is an alternative to confinement where participants perform eight to ten hours of work in- lieu of one day of confinement in jail. The programs intent is to provide the qualified, low risk offenders an alternative to paying large fines or incarceration. The sentence may not be over 30 days. Participants are assigned to work at one of thirty contracted public agency work sites within Alameda County. APPLICATION PROCESS: You must be referred to the program by the sentencing court. A non-refundable $65.00 administrative fee is required and an additional $12.00 for each day assigned is calculated at the time of your first appearance and is paid in full at the time of your second appearance. |

Mr. Vandeman is too much of a gentleman for Usenet. I am better suited for these forums since I don't care a fig about being a gentleman. Unlike Mr. Vandeman, Ed Dolan the Great knows how to get as low down and dirty as the next scoundrel.
