Olds to assisted the NCSC

Judges Eileen Olds, Toni Higginbotham and John Mutter assisted the NCSC in preparing a response to a request for comments on legislation before the United States Congress. The bills on which AJA members were asked to comment and advise were the Adoption and Safe Families Act, and the Strengthening Abuse and Neglect Courts Act of 1998.

Judges Jay Dilworth, Eileen Olds, Bonnie Sudderth, Mike McAdam and Terry Elliott took part in a national conference on the Trial Court Performance Standards sponsored by the NCSC and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. After that conference, those judges and other AJA members developed a recommendation that led to the AJAs endorsement of the Trial Court Performance Standards at the September 1998 national meeting.

A commission of judges and court support personnel developed the Trial Court Performance Standards, which consist of twenty- two standards for trial court performance and substantive commentary on the rationale for each standard; they articulate the guiding principles by which trial courts fulfill their purposes and carry out their responsibilities. The ultimate aim of the standards and AJAs endorsement of them is to provide a systematic assessment of the trial court as an organization that serves a public need and to use the data to make courts as responsive and effective as possible.

There you go, put a bias judge on a panel where their actions will affect family and see what you get. Court sanctioned bias against fathers. I don't know about the other judges, I can only hope they have been on the bench longer then Olds and I hope they are not bias against fathers.

DNA Denied in murder case in Chesapeake, VA

Chesapeake

James Boughton Jr.'s defense attorney said he is developing "credible evidence " that points to another person as the gunman who shot two Mormon missionaries in Deep Creek in January 2006.

Another person was with Boughton the night a missionary was killed and another was wounded, but that person was ruled out by police as the shooter.

Without a witness to positively identify the shooter, DNA evidence will play a crucial role in the case, said Andrew Sacks, Boughton's defense attorney.

Sacks and Boughton were in Chesapeake Circuit Court on Friday, asking for a DNA expert to be appointed for the defense. Judge Randy Smith denied the request.

Boughton is expected to stand trial Jan. 22 on charges of first-degree murder, malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding and three firearm charges. The trial, delayed twice primarily due to a change in defense attorneys, is expected to last about nine days.

Morgan W. Young, 21, of Bountiful, Utah, and Joshua Heidbrink, 19, of Greeley, Colo., were walking door-to-door on Elkhart Street in Chesapeake when they were shot. Young was killed.

Sacks argued that no one identified Boughton as the shooter. Boughton, who turns 21 this month, never confessed.

"This is a case basically built on circumstantial evidence alone …'' Sacks said in asking for DNA assistance. "If you remove the DNA from this case, I'm not sure you could present it to a jury."

Commonwealth's Attorney Nancy Parr and Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney D.J. Hansen opposed the defense request. Sacks said he would renew the motion for DNA help for Boughton at a later date.

"His guilt or innocence may hinge on that evidence," he said.

According to testimony during a preliminary hearing last year, on the night of the shootings, an unrelated confrontation was unfolding on Elkhart Street away from Heidbrink and Young. The two missionaries were talking to a man on the street.

Minutes later they heard a gunshot. They looked down the street toward the noise and saw a man holding a gun . The gunman, whose head was covered by a dark hoodie, ran toward them.

Young and Heidbrink raised their hands and told the gunman, "We didn't see anything."

Both men were shot; the gunman fled.

I wonder why this sorry ass judge denied the request, however if this defendant was a young white male the judge would have approve this request. I can only hope his lawyer appeal this ruling. I can say that all the judges in Chesapeake should be kick to the curb. Most are completely bias against blacks and in JDR court against fathers.

Female rapist get a PR Bond

Chesapeake: Grand jury will hear case of woman accused of rape.

The case against a Chesapeake woman accused of raping a 12-year-old boy will be sent to a grand jury. Juvenile and Domestic Relations Judge Eileen A. Olds sent the case to a grand jury Tuesday after 31-year-old Robin E. Kenefic waived her preliminary hearing. Kenefic faces three counts of rape for an alleged incident with the boy on April 1, according to court records. Police said Kenefic is the first female in the city's history to be charged with rape. She is free on a personal recognizance bond, which prohibits contact with the youth. Kenefic, a resident of the 4700 block of Barger St., was a friend of the boy's family, police said. Authorities were notified May 22 after child protective services workers received an anonymous tip, police said. Kenefic was arrested June 2.

I bet if this was a man accused of raping a 12 year old girl, his ass would be in jail to hell freezes over. I guess it pays to be a female in Olds courtroom. Really how many male rapist gets a PR Bond.. the answer is none.

Is this the type of judge we want on the bench, I think not.

WTF Was she thinking on this one

CHESAPEAKE - A 20-year-old sailor was sentenced Tuesday to six months in jail for photographing a 13-year-old girl as she undressed in a fitting room of a Greenbrier clothing store.

Juvenile and Domestic Relations Judge Eileen A. Olds sentenced Manuel Jon Delgado on two misdemeanor charges stemming from the May 31 crime at the Old Navy store in the 1300 block of Greenbrier Parkway. In addition , Olds ordered Delgado to undergo a psychosexual evaluation.

The sentence comes four months after Delgado pleaded guilty to peeping into an occupied dwelling and unlawful filming of another. Delgado, a sailor aboard the submarine Oklahoma City, faced up to 12 months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine on each charge.

Olds sentenced Delgado to a suspended 12-month sentence on the peeping charge. She handed down a sentence of 12 months, with six months suspended, on the charge of unlawful filming. The judge also ordered Delgado to pay $90 in restitution and to have no contact with the victim upon his release from jail.

Child porn, to say the least, very lite sentence if you ask me. I guess she wasn't paying attention again in court.

Question of the Day

 

I have been informed that the judge who heard most if not all of my cases in Chesapeake JDR court in VA knows of this site. That could explain why she finally took herself off my case. She wrote about this in Benchmark newsletter for judges, however I don't remember nor have I sent her an IM.

While doing research on this person before and after this person become a judge I can only say that I find it very interesting one case that she completely ignores a father's rights completely.

What case is this; it was name Who baby is it now, in the Virginia Pilot;

"But the adoption came to a screeching halt when Melissa decided, five months after giving birth, that she could no longer keep the secret. She told her parents, Lisa and Mark Lockwood, also of Slidell. And the three of them began a battle to regain custody of the child, who is now 1.

Last week, Judge Eileen Olds of the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court granted legal custody to the Prevettes and gave the Lockwoods visitation rights. Even though the ruling settled custody for now, it did not resolve the case for good."

I ask did the father know of the baby.

"Melissa said the baby's father, her former boyfriend, Cedric Cooper, wants to be involved in raising the girl but can't afford to visit her in Virginia"

I wonder did Judge Olds take this into consideration, I say no. I have seen first-hand that fathers don't have any rights in her court, except that of paying support.

In this case there were all types of fraudulent paperwork. Did she do the right thing? One would have to wonder, if this was to happen to a son of hers, what would she do??

I guess this could explain alot about Ms Olds

I guess she think of herself as very special, since it seem she was the first in following, but doesn't mean that she is all that. It surely doesn't mean that she is fit to be a judge.

Eileen Olds, a young lawyer and president of the Chesapeake, Va., chapter of the NAACP, describes herself as a "product of integration." "I was the first black to go to my elementary school, the first black cheerleader and so on," she said, recalling the stages of development that brought her into private law practice. "I am not me because of myself," she said, "but because of the NAACP."

this is why she is the way she is.

Just another reason why she shouldn’t be a Judge.

``All the time I'm scared, I'm afraid,'' she told Juvenile Judge Eileen Olds. ``He's always coming in the house and sitting. He won't help me clean. He shakes his finger in my face, and I don't understand when he's signing. I don't understand.''

She also complained that her husband forced her to have sex and pushed her around.

Her husband pleaded guilty to an Oct. 15 assault and battery. The judge imposed a protective order but allowed the couple to continue to live together, while forbidding any ``hostile contact.'' The judge delayed ruling on the assault until June, when the couple is to return to court. In the meantime, the judge ordered the husband to take anger-management classes. The husband and wife will attend family counseling together.

So if you allow him to live in the same house then why order a PO? This one of many reasons why Judge Olds should be removed the bench.

The man seemed troubled that his marital problems had spilled into the daylight of the courtroom.

``Every time she gets with her friends there's a problem,'' he said. ``I know she's slow a little bit. I work with it. I've been working with her for seven years. If her friends would stop meddling with us, we could work this out.''

See how other affects the problems in their marriage.

A Quote from Judge Olds

Addressing the problem at the different stages of the criminal proceedings is daunting, said Eileen A. Olds, a judge in juvenile and domestic relations court in Chesapeake, Va., who is black and is president of the American Judges Association.

“There are so many levels within the process,” Judge Olds said. “You start with the police and what they are charging, and you get the magistrate, and who gets bail and who doesn’t, who gets the lawyer and who doesn’t.”

I see that she left out that fact that most of these judges don't fully pay attention to the case, like she had done many time in my cases. Where she was looking over another case file while she was to be listening to the case in front her.
