A local party proved Laotians arraigned on sexual abuse charge by Pat Mellor Three Laotian immigrants were arraigned last Wednesday in a special session of the Tenth Circuit Court of Justice Louis Q. Tervort on charges of old forcible sexual abuse of a girl. The three, Lat Sayvone, 26, Pheth 25 and Vongphrachuanh, Khamsane, 23, Koumphoncaphakoy had been jailed since December 16 on charges of suspicion of rape. The charges were later changed to forcible e sexual abuse, a felony. From the beginning, the prosecution of the case required extraordinary procedures. Deputy Robert Allred spent several days arranging through the Division of Family Services, who apparently sponsored the Laotians' immigration into the United States, for an interpreter. One was scheduled to be present at Tenth Circuit Court during the regular session last Tuesday in Richfield. Deputy Allred and Moroni Police Chief Curt Lund transported the suspects from Sanpete County Jail to Richfield for the occasion. But the interpreter never showed up. Judge Tervort then agreed to hold a special arraignment the following morning in the Sanpete County Courthouse at 9 a.m. Again, the Division of Family Services office in Provo promised to provide an interpreter. Nine oclock, then ten, came and went, with no interpreter. Calls around the county revealed a remarkable diversity of linguistic abilities . . . none of which was Laotian. Finally, Moroni and Fountain Green officers rounded up Carl Williams, a former Fountain Green resident who came home early for the holidays and found himself interpreting in Thai for the court. ' Judge Tervort,' whose court ar third-degre- I ,v! ' ' i ' proceedings are all recorded, found himself stumped at the opening of the 1 session. can't pronounce their names," he told Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams admitted one name of about 20 letters had him a little baffled as well. Williams solved the problem by asking each defendant to pronounce his own name. Judge Tervort assigned the defendants numbers one, two, and three, and the proceedings continued. "Have you had the opportunity to discuss these charges with an attorney? Judge Tervort asked. The word 'attorney' required extensive translation. Tell them the nature of these felony, is such charges, a that the court will require them to have an attorney," the judge told the interpreter. "They said they understand, but they dont have any money, Mr. Williams translated. After considerable translation the three defendants were made to understand the court would appoint them an attorney if they did not have enough money. Ask them if their jobs (at Moroni Processing) are still available since theyve been in jail, Judge Tervort requested. Their employer says he wont have them back, Mr. Williams replied. Public defender Ross Blackham was assigned to take the case for the three. The three were ordered to appear at a preliminary hearing after the first of January and were remanded to the custody of the sheriff once again with bail continued at $2,500 each. The bail required explanation of additional interpretation, and the surprised registered interpreter amdsement as he told the judge, They want to know if youll take 107 and let them go. Judge Tervort replied, Thats up to the bail bondsman, not to me. third-degr- a LDS wards make changes in ' I new snow and returned in the afternoon to follow the trail through 15 inches of snow for about seven or eight miles before coming upon their prey. Willie, Mr. Otten best hound, chased the cougar up a pine tree. The big cat jumped out into a red cedar and was then brought to earth. The only other casualties of the hunt were some clawed dogs. Mr. Otten plans to have the cougar pelt made into a living room rug. The cougar, also called the mountain lion, is a vicious predator who takes deer, an occasional sheep, if they're passing through its territory, rabbits and other small rodents. A special permit is chase permit and a kill permit. Both Mr. Otten and Mr. Allred have kill permits, meaning theyre each allowed one cougar during the seasoi., which extends through the winter months. The cougars are now just above the deer herds, according to Mr, Allred, and the deer are in foothill country. But the cougar they took headed for the high country after the dogs took up its trail and the Allred and Ottens claim that it was one of the hardest hunts theyd ever been on. In fact, they say, when they got back about 9 the night of the hunt they were about as dead as that cat. 24-ho- ur th 24-ho- ur Murder suspect held Alexander Mendez, Long Beach, California, is being held without bail in Sevier County Jail pending extradition to California on murder charges.
