I don't wish to spread rumors, but I heard on the Topix message board for Ben Lomond that McClish is going to try and challenge the competency of his lawyer or something like that, so his sentencing in the rape case may be delayed. I am not, by even the furthest stretch of the human imagination, an expert in law, so I don't know if this is even possible at this phase of the legal action against McClish. But, this is the latest news from across the neighborhood fence. For now, it hasn't been verified.
**LATER**I am having a rather busy Wednesday, so just wanted to say that a reader wrote in and commented that McClish is indeed challenging that his attorney was incompetent and will be asking for an appeal on that basis. This is his right to do so, but I must say that the evidence against him was overwhelming and I wonder if this will help him at all, or just reflect even more badly on him. He did, after all, take the stand in his own defense and, from what I heard, did a stellar job of indicting himself. I don't think his attorney had much to do with it, if at all (in fact, I believe he testified against the advice of his own attorney).
So, on it goes...

Yes, it's true. There needs to be time for a review of the last trial to determine if Mark Garver was competent. The sentencing will still occur, just not on August 3rd.
