Raymond Martin federal trial to go as scheduled
[caption id="attachment_2523" align="aligncenter" width="558" caption="One of these guys is Raymond's new attorney, John O'Gara. Probably the one on the left. The other is his law partner, James Gomric."][/caption] BENTON---Looks like it's a go for Raymond Martin, Gallatin County sheriff, to kick off his federal trial April 12. According to court documents signed today by U.S. Magistrate Philip M. Frazier, Martin is still on track to have his federal drugs/weapons/conspiracy/witness tampering trial start Monday, April 12, at 9 a.m. before Judge Gilbert in Benton. Martin had an arraignment (advisement of charges against him) today on the superseding indictment that was filed last week, which ...
Motion for mistrial filed in Monroe case; new trial requested
[caption id="attachment_2056" align="alignleft" width="172" caption="Tim Monroe"][/caption] SALINE CO., Ill.---A motion for mistrial and new trial has been filed in the case of Tim Monroe, who on Feb. 4, 2010, was found guilty of delivery of cocaine.

Raymond Martin preliminary doesn’t go off in Jackson–AGAIN
JACKSON/GALLATIN COs.---Once again, Raymond Martin has let down all his 'fans' in southern Illinois. [caption id="attachment_2444" align="alignleft" width="222" caption="Gallatin Co. sheriff Raymond Martin...on hold for another 30, probably."][/caption] The jailed Gallatin County sheriff, who's still collecting his taxpayer-provided paycheck (to the tune of $40,440-plus annually, along with a $6,500 state stipend), was a no-show in Jackson County Circuit Court today. Martin has been held at the Jackson County jail in Murphysboro as a federal detainee since last May, when he was charged with several federal guns and weapons charges. He is being held without bond on the fed charges. Martin managed to get himself hemmed ...
Olney teacher/former coach operating under censure for ‘inappropriate relationship’
[caption id="attachment_2301" align="alignleft" width="340" caption="Curt Dobbs"][/caption] OLNEY, Ill.---Disclosure has just learned, via a concerned reader, that East Richland Community Unit School District No. 1 last year censured teacher and former coach Curt Dobbs---heavily. It would appear that, due to some teacher's union being involved and Dobbs being a member of that union, he's operating under a "three-strikes-you're-out" rule---where having an inappropriate (and according to documents we recieved, reportedly it devolved into suggestions of approaching the physical realm at some point in time) relationship with a minor student doesn't get him fired, but instead gets a 'resolution' drawn up against him and signed ...
