[a short amount was cut off/partially inaudible in the beginning, just the judge calling forward the participants of the Greer case and then stating that the Court had looked into the matter of the protective order and they agree with Mr. Summers that the court does have the authority to issue such an order]
Summers: Your Honor, at this point we’re asking that Mr. Greer not have any communication, no contact, with Ms. Albino. We’d also ask that Mr. Greer not go to any residence or any place of occupation. I’m not going to ask Ms. Albino to provide those to the court. The reason for that is I don’t want Mr. Greer to have access to those addresses. Those would be the two main terms of the sentencing protective order.
Judge: Thank you Council. Mr. Greer, the court orders then the following- sentencing is taking place at this time. Ms. Greer (yes he did say that)… or Mr. Greer, the court traditionally has put a lot of energy for support in joint resolutions. There’s a value in that, there’s a safety in that. I’m going to follow the joint recommendations being made here today. In one portion that’s, I suppose it’s fortunate for you, in a sense, that I don’t know all the particulars, the details, to the point that the attorneys and the parties involved in this case and I’m sure there’s emotions on many sides of the argument. This is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in jail. I have concerns. I am going to follow the joint recommendations and I want you to follow [inaudible] this court order of probation, otherwise the court will not hesitate to post jail time. The court order goes as follows: 180 days in jail is ordered in this case and at this time, the court suspends 180 days of jail and imposes a fine of $680. Places you on probation for 18 months and the terms of probation are as follows: the order of the court is to have no further violations of the law. Minor traffic offenses the court with not hold against you, with a valid license. The court orders you to complete a mental health evaluation by a 3rd party in a state-approved agency and turn that evaluation into the court within 90 days. The court appoints to order a psychosexual evaluation, but stays that order at this time in compliance with the joint agreement. The court orders you provide a set of fingerprints to this court within 30 days. You can go to the court webpage, and there’s a link that you can make an appointment to get your fingerprints done, and those will be needed and required to be provided to this court within 30 days. As a condition of probation and by court order, this court issues a sentencing protective order. A violation of a sentencing protective order could bring upon a party that violates the court order of protection further charges by a prosecution agency. The court order will only be lifted by the court who issued the order. Regardless of what you may feel or want, the court order is in you (?), the defendant, have any direct or indirect contact and not harass through telephone, mail, email, text, or communicate in any way with the victim, which is Ms. Albino. You’re to stay away from and avoid (?) any premise Ms. Albino is present and, if so, must leave immediately. It’s hard to articulate where this could be but upon your understanding, or knowledge of known places, you must leave immediately or you will be in violation of a court order. Can you pay the $680 fine in full today or do you need monthly payments?
Gailey: Your honor, I would like to set up monthly payments on that and, as to… was the court willing to allow him credit for the cost of any out of pocket expenses for eval. and treatment?
J: Council, I don’t calculate those types of things, a lot of folks do upfront of staying $180 at the time to help offset some costs, but I’m not interested in my courts going and keeping track. So I’ll suspend $180, lowering the obligations to $500 fine [crosstalk] …nothing further regarding keeping tracks of actual costs.
G: Ok, great.
J: Now you can appeal, Mr. Greer, this court order. If you choose to appeal the order of the court, let it be known in writing to the court within 28 days.
G: Did… did you want to set up monthly payments, Your Honor? Like $50 a month or so?
J: Ok, then we’ll set up then a $50 per month, starting one month from today on 10/16, every month thereafter until paid in full. You can pay this online by going to the court’s webpage and pay it there or you can call the clerks of the court and pay over the phone.
G: Thank you Judge.
J: Mr. Greer and Council, is he in the Orem area?
G: He’s in my office right now.
J: He’ll report then to the [inaudible] station of the court before 5pm today, if possible. Is it possible, Council?
G: To…to sign the agreement?
J: So you can make sure he has a copy of the sentencing protective order.
G: Um, yeah, I guess because of the protective order, that makes sense Your Honor. Ok. [crosstalk] Yes… we’ll be able to make it today by…
J: …before 5pm then and that will be preparing the [inaudible].
G: Sounds good.
J: Is there any further business in the Greer matter?
G: No. [at this point, it looks like Russell tries to say something to the lawyer]
S: Not from the city, Your Honor.
J: Ms. Mena and Ms. Albino, thank you for your attendance here today.
Erika [overlapping]: Thank you, Your Honor.
J: ...business as you go forward.
Mena: Thank you, Your Honor.
