LETTER: Komada gets his vote 'for many reasons'



BILL STANDERFER, Mattoon

We will soon have the opportunity to elect the best candidate for Coles County state’s attorney. That candidate is Paul Komada.

There are many reasons I endorse Komada for state’s attorney:

1. He has been an attorney for over 40 years.

2. He was a circuit judge for over 20 years.

3. He was previously the Coles County state’s attorney for six years.

4. He has a record of being fair but firm when prosecuting criminals.

5. He is well-organized and efficient in getting things done.

Paul Komada is an experienced leader who will be an effective public servant.

Please vote for Komada on Nov. 4 for Coles County state’s attorney.

August 12, 1999
Jimmy S. Derixson, 22, 2008 Champaign Ave., pleaded guilty to reduced charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse alleging he fondled a girl and had her and a boy fondle one another on May 2. At that time, the girl was 5 years old, and the boy was 4 years old.

The original charges were counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child that accused Derixson of engaging in intercourse with the girl and forcing her and the boy into intercourse as well.

A conviction of those offenses would have required a prison sentence of six to 30 years.
Reduced charges and was given 5 yrs prison...

Komada handed out this sentence.
Neither Fair nor Firm!!!

Charleston man sentenced for sexual assault. Sex offenders
Dave Fopay


CHARLESTON -- A Charleston man was sentenced on Monday to the maximum term of probation, four years, for the sexual assault charge to which he pleaded guilty in June.

Alonzo Clinton Reed, 48, whose last known address was on Division Street, must participate in a sex offenders program through the Coles County Mental Health Center, in addition to other counseling.

Reed pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal sexual assault that accused him of engaging in sex acts with a girl between December and April. Court documents said he admitted fondling the girl and having her fondle him.

There was no agreement on a sentence at the time Reed pleaded guilty. However, at Monday's hearing, State's Attorney Steve Ferguson and Public Defender Lonnie Lutz agreed on the probation term because of the findings of a presentence investigation.

Circuit Judge Paul Komada accepted the sentence, noting that the probation officer who conducted the investigation concluded that Reed's likelihood of successfully completing probation was "fair."

Ferguson added that the county mental health center evaluated Reed after he pleaded guilty and found him to be a good candidate for its treatment program.

Reed could have received a prison sentence of four to 15 years for the conviction "

" Docket No. 80341--Agenda 4--March 1997.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Appellee, v. GORDON "RANDY"
STEIDL, Appellant.
Opinion filed September 18, 1997.



I believe that defendant did make a substantial showing that his constitutional rights were violated. Most significant is defendant's charge that he was denied due process by the trial judge's (Komada) refusal to recuse himself from the case. Due process requires a judge to recuse himself or herself where actual bias exists (People v. Hall, 157 Ill. 2d 324, 332 (1993)) or where his or her hearing the case would create the appearance of partiality (In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133, 136, 99 L. Ed. 942, 946, 75 S.Ct. 623, 625 (1955)). Those circumstances were present here.




CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the circuit court
of Edgar County dismissing the defendant's post-conviction petition
without an evidentiary hearing is reversed. We remand to the
circuit court for an evidentiary hearing in front of a newly
substituted judge.

Circuit court judgment reversed;







Docket No. 84721:
" had to deal with this trial judge's(Komada) failure to recuse himself from a capital case involving a post-conviction challenge. In People v. Steidl , 177 Ill. 2d 239 (1997), as here, the judge denied the post-conviction petition without an evidentiary hearing. In that case, however, our court reversed and remanded for an evidentiary hearing before a different judge, holding, inter alia , that the judge should have recused himself from the case because his long-term professional association with defendant's original trial attorney prevented him from making an unbiased assessment of defendant's claim that the attorney was ineffective. Steidl , 177 Ill. 2d at 265-66. The conflict in this case is no less serious than the one we condemned in Steidl . If anything, the compromise in this defendant's due process rights is even more egregious?

" This is why I also will not be voting for Mr. Ferguson either...

(Theft, Dishonesty and Misrepresentation)

1. Between May 2003 and May 2006, Respondent (James F. Baba) was employed as an assistant state's attorney in Coles County, Illinois. Respondent's duties were to handle felony domestic violence cases and misdemeanor cases, as assigned by the State's Attorney.

2. On October 15, 2005, during a traffic stop, Coles County sheriff's deputies seized three plastic bags from a vehicle being driven by Steve Dollahan. Field testing by the arresting officer indicated that the bags contained cannabis. The seized evidence was secured in the evidence locker at the Coles County Sheriff's Department.

3. On October 17, 2005, Dollahan was charged in the circuit court of Coles County with two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal transportation of alcohol and improper lane usage. The charges were docketed as People v. Steven Dollahan, 05 DT 207, 05 TR 6102 and 05 TR 6103 (Coles County).

4. On October 26, 2005, a passenger in Dollahan's car, Matthew Niemerg, was charged in Coles County with illegal transportation of alcohol. That charge was docketed as People v. Niemerg, No. 05 TR 6111 (Coles County). On November 10, 2005, Niemerg was charged by information with possession of cannabis. Charges against Niemerg were docketed as People v. Niemerg, No. 05 CM 775 (Coles County).

5. On November 16, 2005, Dollahan pleaded guilty to the charges against him in Case No. 05 DT 207. The charges in case numbers 05 TR 6102 and 05 TR 6103 were dismissed. State's Attorney Steve Ferguson represented the State of Illinois at the hearing. Respondent was not assigned to People v. Dollahan, 05 DT 207 (Coles County) and at no time did he assist in the prosecution.

6. On November 16, 2005, Respondent appeared in Coles County Circuit Court on People v. Niemerg, No. 05 CM 775 and 05 TR 6111. On behalf of the State of Illinois, he asked that the charges against Niemerg be dismissed. An order was entered the same day dismissing the charges.

7. On Nov. 21, 2005, Respondent called Coles County Sheriff's Deputy James Redden, who was serving as the evidence custodian for the sheriff's department. Respondent advised Redden that he wished to retrieve the three plastic bags of cannabis that had been seized during the traffic stop that resulted in the charges filed in People v. Steven Dollahan, 05 DT 207, 05 TR 6102 and 05 TR 6103 (Coles County) and People v. Niemerg, No. 05 CM 775 and 05 TR 6111(Coles County).

8. During the November 22, 2005 telephone call, Respondent represented to Deputy Redden that he needed the items for "court purposes."

9. Respondent's representation to Deputy Redden, as set out in paragraph eight, above, that he needed the cannabis for court purposes on November 22, 2005, was false. On November 22, 2005, no case was pending which involved the 10.2 grams of cannabis as evidence.

10. Respondent knew that his representation to Deputy Redden, as set out in paragraph 8, was false.

11. Deputy Redden told Respondent that the material had not been tested by the Illinois State Police crime lab, but that he would make sure the substance in the plastic bags was tested appropriately before Respondent needed it.

12. After ending the conversation with Respondent, Deputy Redden contacted Mattoon Police Officer Scott Moran and made arrangements to meet him the next morning at the East Central Illinois Law Enforcement Training Center, where Officer Moran weighed and performed forensic testing on the substances. The test results were positive for cannabis.

13. At about 7:45 a.m. November 22, 2005, Deputy Redden returned to the Coles County Sheriff's Department and put the three plastic bags containing cannabis in a temporary holding locker, pending pick-up by Respondent.

14. At approximately 1:30 p.m. November 22, 2005, Respondent came to the Coles County Sheriff's Department to obtain the plastic bags.

15. Respondent signed a property receipt, writing on the receipt that the evidence was being received "for court," and Deputy Redden turned over possession of the three plastic bags of plant material, which contained a total of 10.2 grams of cannabis, to Respondent.

16. At no time did Respondent return the cannabis to the Coles County Sheriff's Office.

17. At all times while employed by the Coles County State's Attorney, Respondent was prohibited by the policy of the Coles County Sheriff's Office and the Coles County State's Attorney's Office to have possession of evidence without a court-related or employment-related reason to do so.

18. At all times while employed by the Coles County State's Attorney, Respondent was required by the policy of the Coles County Sheriff's Office and the Coles County State's Attorney's Office to return evidence to the custody of the sheriff if he did not need possession of it for work-related or court purposes.

19. At all times alleged in this complaint, 720 ILCS 5/16-1(a)(2) provided in part:

Theft.

(a) A person commits theft when he knowingly:

(1) obtains or exerts unauthorized control over the property of the owner; or

(2) obtains by deception control over property of the owner.

20. By receiving the 10.2 grams of cannabis being held as evidence by the Coles County Sheriff's Department after falsely telling Deputy James Redden that he needed the evidence for court purposes, Respondent committed theft.

21. By reason of the conduct outlined above, Respondent has engaged in the following misconduct:

committing a criminal act, to wit, theft, in violation of 720 ILCS 5/16-1, which reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects, in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(3) of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct;
conversion;
failure to hold property of a client or third person separate from the lawyer's own property, in violation of Rule 1.15(a) of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct;

failure to deliver to a client or third person property that the client or third person is entitled to receive, in violation of Rule 1.15(b) of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct;
conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(4) of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct;
conduct which is prejudicial to the administration of justice, in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(5) of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct; and conduct which tends to defeat the administration of justice or brings the courts or the legal profession into disrepute, in violation of Supreme Court Rule 770.

WHEREFORE, the Administrator respectfully requests that this matter be assigned to a panel of the Hearing Board, that a hearing be held, and that the panel make findings of fact, conclusions of fact and law, and a recommendation for such discipline as is warranted.

Seriously, robin, how did you interpret the above as asking what are the qualifications for coroner are? Geesh, it's pretty bad when you have to cut and past your own messages to clarify things for the moron set.

The office of the coroner is not about performing autopsies (which are done by a medical examiner) its about taking care of the public and helping grieving families. The coroner pronounces the death and then if their is an investigation it is done by a medical examiner or the State CSI team. And yes the taxpayers are paying for excessive amounts of classes!

My my, it looks like someone is throwing a hissy fit. All capitol letters usually denote anger. Are you angry? Here's a thought for you, perhaps I didn't answer your question because, in all candor, I thought is was rather stupid. I have now idea of you are talking about, and I seriously doubt you do. I usually don't respond to something I have no idea about, as do most intelligent people.

Put your thoughts together in a coherent manner, post them, and maybe I'll consider answering your question, as inane as it will no doubt be.

By the way, I ask a lot of questions, some get answered, some don't, but unlike you I don't throw a hissy fit like a 12 year old.

I asked the question as to Ed Schniers qualifications, and all I got was a run down on the minimum requirements, and some convoluted rambling about medical examiners, Nichols being over trained and his having a star on his vehicle. And this was from a Schniers supporter, a family member I suspect, and not a thing a about why he was qualified.

Obviously the only thing he has going for him is that he meets the minimum standards. Should I throw a fit and post a demand for an answer to my question, and in all caps too? "

" not end of story Robin, someone is always home at my house, the point is he never came, tehn he got mad when Nichols did and asked a sign to be put in my yard, i din't support any side for coroner until Mr. Nichols asked, Mr. Schniers didn't have along walk but he sure never made it, it has nothing to do with party Robin, perhaps you shouldn't post until you know what you're talking about "

" sure he meets the standards, but either way his manner was extremely childish and unprofessional, nothing to do with party, i am a democrat and voted for a few republicans today, this is about decency, respect for fellow neighbors and citizens, professional courtesy, and moral citizenship, not about party, not about Mike Nichols "

" on another note he kind of reminds me of you robin, you made your comments in a critical and disrespectful manner as well, perhaps you should run for coroner "

Are we witnessing a complete meltdown?

Spelling lessons? And to think I gave you a complete pass on your poor grammar. LOL!

Perhaps you're taking this whole thing too serious, mjgtm.

Life is too short to get so worked up over such a trivial thing. "

" injustice 85, you making up lies about canidates will get you nowhere. There are no "minimum" requirements as you state. Only requiredments. You making up some kind of wild story is so disrespectful. You are very full of yourself that much is obvious. I how much your being paid to post your made up 'fairy tails" on here. "

Seriously, rosi.....I mean robin, do you really want to talk about made up disrespectful stories? LOL! "

" lol Robin you have said nothing about the actual point, you have spent your entire time blogging negatives about me, that is exactly what i'm saying here about common disrespect towards people, what happened, happened, I don't invent fairy tales for my own entertainment, what I do is find the actual injustices occuring in my general society and I use my right of voice ( and typing) to speak about them, disagree if you want to disagree but have some dignity and respect if possible "

" i wish i was getting paid to speak out about distasteful citizens such as yourself who accuse people of lying all the while missing the real point, sad to even say it but man that sounds like something typical conservatives would do, there now i feel a tad bit guilty "
