The trials of Gary Gautier and Carter Leary, charged in the June 15, 2011 12th Street siege incident were continued this morning (9-29-11). No future date has been set yet according to informed sources.
Both defendants showed up, 30 minutes early in fact, as did family members and the press. But there was no sign of attorneys, judge or witnesses before the Assistant District Attorney called Gautier and Leary to the front and told them the day's calendar was too heavy and the cases would be continued.
Hopefully, someone can explain this to me. I have read with interest an article that is posted on WITN, 10/24 edition. The article is, "Man Accused of Threatening to Blow Up a Home" In Onslow County. The man broke into a home, held two hostages and then said, "he was going to blow up the place". He was arrested and charged with 1st degree burglary and 2 counts of communicating a threat. Bond was set at $50,000. Now for my question. From what I have read about the siege on 12th street, the young man called the administration number and ask for the number of a rehab center from his own home. From the tapes, voices, and things that were said, escalated in the conversation. The SO and the WPD were called out to surround the home the young man was living in. No one was with him in his home, no hostages taken and no break in. Number one, why was this handled like this in Beaufort County? They did not have a siege on the Onslow County incident. Secondly, this 12th street man was charged with a bomb threat (felony), the burglar that broke in a house and took hostages saying he was going to blow up the place was charged with communicating a threat. How is one different from the other? Who decides what verbiage is going to be used in the arrest warrant? I just don't understand, aren't both of these counties in the same state? Does one county/person have a different set of rules that he/she follows? I think someone needs to look long and hard about how this was handled? Something is just rotten in Beaufort County it seems.
Another comparison has been revealed from yet another county(Wilson) regarding a stand off. The man was out in the yard shooting and finally after 13 hrs and being able to speak with his daughter to help and diffuse the situation it ended peacefully. They arrested him and have charged him with shooting a gun within 300 feet of his home. They evacuated his neighbors. How can they take one man's situation and handle it professionally and take another young man and wants to put him under the cell. Where is the justice? Burden of proof is going to be hell. You only get to read what others want you to see and hear. These little Hitlers are still trying to control your brains. Well it isn't right that one or two people get together call in false reports and ruin other peoples lives and I for one am not going to stand back quietly this trip. Those I know that were involved are going to be in court to watch and listen. It's time they stood up and tell us what they know(truth). The hair dresser may have to loose a days work or two and her daughter may have to be inconvenience as well. All we want is for the truth to be told. Tell the truth and God will love you. This mom and daughter combo as well as Chrismon have been involved both times, what's up with that???? Need some investigating reporting for WITN and WDN let's print the command direction in each case and what each event stemmed from and was fueled by. God knows the truth.
