" " Perhaps a few more cases of Coles County Justice for sex crimes?
---------------------

George R. Arthur, 39, of Mattoon, pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse alleging he fondled a 15-year-old girl sometime during June.

He was placed on probation for four years and must participate in the sex offenders program at the Coles County Mental Health Center. He must also have no contact with children under the age of 17.

Man gets probation for sexual abuse
CHARLESTON -- A Mattoon man has been sentenced to the maximum term of probation, four years, for the criminal sexual abuse charge to which he pleaded guilty in August.

Raymond N. Arthur, 21, 2102 Champaign Ave. Apt. B, received the sentence last week for having a 6-year-old girl fondle him between January and May of this year.

Arthur was ordered to participate in sex offender treatment programs offered by the Coles County Mental Health Center. In addition, he must pay for any counseling that the girl might require.

He must also have no contact with the girl, stay away from schools and other child care facilities and not possess any pornography. Six months in jail was stayed pending his progress.

Court records indicate that Arthur had no prior criminal convictions. He could have received a prison sentence of three to seven years.
----------------------

CHARLESTON - A Mattoon man who admitted fondling a girl was sentenced on Thursday to the maximum term of probation.

Richard W. Beckler, 39, 4808 Lake Paradise Road Lot 27, was placed on probation for his conviction for aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He pleaded guilty in September to the charge that accused him of fondling the girl on April 16, and a charge of indecent solicitation of a child was dismissed.

Records show that Beckler's only prior conviction was for a misdemeanor bad-check charge. Terms of his probation sentence included no contact with the girl or anyone under the age of 17 without supervision and a requirement that he not live near a school or other child care facility.

Six months of jail time was stayed, meaning Beckler won't have to serve it if he follows all his probation requirements, and he was also fined $200. Victim was 12.

No wonder you are all scared for your children! "

" Time for a Change!!! "

"
Do I need to show you Former Judge Komada, and Steve Fergusons policy for sentencing sex offenders? You wouldn't like it!
It is Time For A Change!!!
Please vote Todd Reardon for State's Atty!!!
"

" Grad...Would this be the same Todd Reardon who is defending the accused sex offender in another case? And has worked out plea deals for sex offenders? Surely not, that makes no sense... "

" you're absolutely right, grad. it IS time for a change. so FOR A CHANGE will you please (with a chery on top) put a sock in it? :) "

" [yawn]
zzzzzzz "

" Yes I would like to see both of there records since all you can do is complain about them and Most of all I still am waiting to see good ole Todds wonderful record and how many sex offenders has he represented "

" I know this has nothing to do with this case but.
Did you all know that when you see someone has to serve weekends that they DON'T have to serve "WEEKENDS" at all.
They get to pick what 2 days they serve are.
So the people in troube can choose like Sunday and Monday and still go out and party and cause trouble on the "weekend".
Now tell me how the hell does that sound right?? "

" Hey, tt, ever heard the old expression about waiting till the cows come home? LOL! "

" :-) LOL at Rotty and HP :-) "

" Oh yes Harry and Im sure thats what Im waiting on since he hasnt responed once to my many request to see this wonderful record (Todd dream on)holds nor has he ever produced this terrible record of our current SA or of the former Judge dont get me wrong everyone Im not saying what we have is better I just want to see the facts man just the facts "

" I have been wondering about something lately, am I the only one that skips right over 85 grad's posts? "

" HP, you skip over who's posts? OH!!! Heck, Haven't read those rants while staying awake for so long, took me a minute to figure out who you were talking about. LOL "

" i don't read them, but i skim over them on the off chance he has an original thought instead of his usual cut and paste job. "

" Thanks, guys. I really was wondering if I was the only one ignoring his inane messages. And where is that position paper from Toddy? Maybe when racerchick sobers up she can write it up for him. LOL! "

Tried to check out your great blog and says its not there maybe you didnt spell it correctly of course thats about how goes for suporters of 85 grad and (Todd dream on ) "

" I read them sometimes, if it not a rambleing cut and paste job, he has some good points on occasion. Just not all about the old cases, when they are dragged out of the archives. "

" For your information Palmer, I never actually sober up. I would not be able to handle the reality of Grad's pathetic attempts at posting. "

" As for Todd's record, he put another jury trial win under his belt yesterday. I could maybe shed some light on who it is that Todd represents. Sometimes, when there is a conflict of interest with other public defenders, Todd has been APPOINTED to represent people. So for everyone wanting to make a big deal out of who Todd represents, sometimes, he doesn't have a choice in the matter. "

" Get a clue Mandy he rarley if ever is appointed to represent he chooses to represent the Dregs of Coles County like always he did during his last election and will after he loses this one he has got to keep up to pay for that custom house he claims he got stuck with plus whatever other crap he can feed us still waiting on the Facts just the Facts come on show me something worth looking at "

.......

Anytime I see Grad's posts anymore, I may see Grad's name, then I may blast off a post myself, but I no longer read anything Grad types, I just scroll through it to the next post.
Why read the same old blather anymore, when it doesn't hold any ground?
No sense in listening to a broken record, when you can always check out a new release. "

" Rotty I think your rite maybe I need to take your advice shoot I know your rite Time skip over him like his candidate its always the same old stuff Thanks for the wakeup lol "

" TRASH "

" Thanks, tt.
LOL
It's pretty much a given around here on this website that eventually you'll run into those who like to cut/copy & paste articles from this website, or from others across the net, to support their ideas.
Unless it's on a subject that is particularly interesting, one quickly learns to skip over the majority of them.
I can understand some cut/copy/paste jobs, to refer back to something, to attempt to get a certain point across, but the neverending stuff just gets old fast.
When one enjoys comment venues, or forum websites, attempting to read through the neverending cut/copy/paste jobs just slows down the process.
Most like to see people speak for themselves, not bore us to death with someone else's work. It's just not original.
This is the internet, though, & one never knows who or what you may run into next out here, but as long as folks are enjoying themselves, & don't take it too seriously, it can be a fun deal overall.
You gota love it!
LOL!

" Well tt, I know for a FACT that he has been APPOINTED to quite a few cases over the last few years. "

" If that's the case, mandy, perhaps you or Grad would care to enlighten us as to how many there were. You seem to have a lot of inside info, so just how many are we talking about? We don't need a report that covers a decade, just the last calendar year will do. We'll be waiting. And if Grad takes on this task, I would like to see all the names and charges listed in his usual style. "

" There have been 4 in the last year. "

" [snickers] "

" More info, please. "

" Hey 85 grad, what do you think of Todd's stand on the drug court program (this ought to be good) LOL! "

" It is not the drug court that bothers me. Inconsistent sentencing is what bothers me! 2 people charged with manufacturing meth... One gets probation or drug court, the other person gets 20 years in prison! Not Justice in my eyes! Give them all drug court or, give them all prison, just be consistent! Time for a Change! "

" As was pointed out to you on another thread, Einstein, it's the judges that decide on the sentence. Is your boy going to dictate to them what the sentences will be? I really hate to put it this way, but you sure are an ignoramus. "

" I haven't seen where Mr. Reardon has been wasting your taxpaying dollars on trials with no evidence. Everyone (Except for Ferguson, and his puppet Jacobs) could see there wasn't any evidence in the Abernathy case. I also showed you where Mr. Ferguson has tried to go to trial on other occasions, with NO evidence. Speculation does not win trials!!!
Pure Speculation is not even enough to charge a person with a crime!!!
Steve Ferguson is very unprofessional in his conduct as our State's Atty!
Another point, Todd Reardon is the only candidate to address the issue of the inconsistent sentencing policies currently being used by Steve Ferguson, and other prejudice, biased, political prosecutors throughout our nation. With Steve Ferguson in office, inconsistent sentences are commonplace. One guy gets caught with a meth lab and is sentenced to probation, yet another guy charged with the same crime gets a 20 year prison sentence... Not very "Just" to me! I am also aware that it is the Judge that has to accept these "Deals".
Which leads me to my next point...that Former Judge Komada is part of the inconsistent sentencing problem, as well!
We all, already know the corruption that follows that Komada character, and Steve Ferguson is looking very similar!
Do I need to show you Former Judge Komada, and Steve Fergusons policy for sentencing sex offenders? You wouldn't like it!
It is Time For A Change!!!
Please vote Todd Reardon for State's Atty!!! "

" There is no institution in America that is a greater failure than the criminal justice system. The system can do nothing but fail, because the search for truth and justice plays no part in the system. The prosecutors career depends on his conviction rate, not on discovering the guilt or innocence of the accused.

The criminal justice system today consists of a process whereby a defendant is coerced into admitting to a crime in order to escape more severe punishment for maintaining his innocence. Many of the crimes for which people are imprisoned never occurred. They are made up crimes created by the process of negotiation to close a case.

This takes most of the work out of the system and, thereby, suits police, prosecutors, and judges to a tee. Police do not have to be careful about evidence, because they know that no more than one case out of twenty will ever be tested in the courtroom. "

" The laws from state to state differ due to different penal codes and legislative sentencing guidelines. These separate standards, along with prejudice from judges and prosecutors, make punishments for the same crime different throughout the nation.


If there would be more community involvement, prosecutors and judges would be held more accountable for their actions more often than they currently are.

Crime should not be condoned, but the punishment for crimes should be consistent across the board in our legal system. "

" Nice spin, grad, but you're still avoiding the question. So now it's every court in the land that you want to change? You better get busy, because there are a lot of them. It also looks like you're not getting the results you want, and it seems your blather is hurting Reardon more than helping him. Or was that your intent? "

" Heck one sex offender was picked up from jail to go to his job by the mother of the child he abused. She took him to her home FOR LUNCH daily and said he at least gets some dessert.
I needed a barf bag as he would be in walmart also in toy section or talking to some woman with kids along. So much for serving time hey? He walked in front of my car and all I could do from not running over his crazy xxx. "

" Chsgrad... Just a quick ??? Why do you bring up Abernathy in most every post? I am sure reardon really appreciates it... cuz now when i hear reardon i think abernathy supporter... Maybe you should just take a lil break from it all... ? "

" longflower, please take a look at my post at "May 14, 2008 9:55 PM".
Whenever Grad posts, just catch up on some lost sleep.
LOL "

" All the persons named put em in a barrel and they are the same ole thing. Went to DCFS meetings, court system on abused child opened my eyeballs wide to the truth of Coles.
I was called a name by DCFS for being self rightous for wanting better for the bused children and they kept giving them back to their mother who still have abuser to home for lunches. AND these same people in office. ABOUT TIME WE DO SPEAK UP FOR CHANGE, as see these people are either braindead or just plain stupid. WE HAVE RIGHT BE SELF RIGHTOUS AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN.
Looks like not gonna get protected no matter all the hullabaloo over all these protective services. In oregon if abuse a child automatic 9 years prisontime and some get 18 years. "

" No messages from the Reardon Rebels last night? They must be hiding out in the back room of the Ice House licking their wounds. "

" I guess the reason we aren't hearing from the Reardon supporters is that the sheriff cut off Internet service at the jail. I had suspected most of those folks supporting Todd were inmates anyway. But who is going to paint those embarrassing looking sighs? LOL! "

" LOL @ H.P.
It has been pretty peaceful, from that bunch, for awhile now.
LOL "

" Guess the peace & quiet has ended - that or I spoke too soon.
Darn it.
LOL! "
