Gurl, you are in my prayers.  None of that is easy. Glad to see you back.

I also want to be clear here: I do not know Tommy Shelton, nor do I hate him. To be completely honest I feel bad that he allowed himself to be placed in this situation. However, I am acquainted with a few of his victims. I have witnessed the pain and seen first hand what emotional and physical impact this has had on their lives. Especially in the last year. Prayer is needed on both sides. Prayer for the victims as well as Tommy and his family. I am well aware of the stress that both sides must be enduring. Yet, that does not relinquish the consequences that must be faced if a jury of Mr. Sheltons peers declare him guilty.       I close with this towards Tommy: Mr. Shelton: my prayer and hope is that you truley are remorseful for your actions over the past 30 or so years. I also hope that you have indeed tried to correct your errors, and have not hurt others. A day of reckoning is coming, and I hope to see you on the other side, when we gather together and worship our Lord!

I do know Tommy and some of his victims since I was employed by 3ABN back in 1989 and 1990.  I too wish for him to face up to what he has done and to make peace with God.  I wish the same for Danny.  However, in the case of Tommy and perhaps Danny, the law needs to step up and do something about it as well.  May God heal those that Tommy and Danny abused no matter what the form the abuse took.

Interesting that Tommy Shelton will be undergoing his criminal trial for child molestation while SDA world leader Elder Wilson is visiting with 3ABN.

That is, if Tommy doesn't have a heart attack or stroke first.

Praying for the wheels of justice to begin moving again... some folks need closure so they can take their lives off of "pause".

What is this about trials tommorow? I called Alex today and he said there isn't any trials upcoming. He suggested the trials would not take place til probably early next year. He will not know for sure until he speaks with the prosecutor tomorrow.

Adam, you're right, it is not a "trial" - my bad.... it is the "status hearing" to see if TS is in sufficiently good health to proceed with the trial, since it was derailed earlier by his stroke.

The status hearing has been continued to Friday, July 29.

Four cases appeared on today's docket.  The two additional cases (FE-2010-0001987 and FE-2010-0001988) are re-indictments of counts which as part of the July 2010 plea agreement the Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney had asked not be prosecuted.

Apparently, Tommy Shelton's attorney reported to the judge that the additional time will facilitate a more accurate assessment of his health.

This could take forever like the lawsuit against Joy & Pickle did.

And for those still following : Tommy R. Sheltons trials are upon us.
« Reply #72 on: July 29, 2011, 03:37:12 PM »
Tommy Shelton's jury trials are now rescheduled, one to take place Monday, January 23, 2012, 10 AM (allegations by Dennis Turley) and the other to take place Monday, January 30, 2012, 10 AM (allegations by Alex Walker).

Ms. Stott (assistant Commonwealth atty.) said the Circuit Court judge had to set the cases all the way into next year because of "calendar conflicts" on the part of Tommy's attorneys.

Four cases involving Tommy Shelton appeared on today's docket.  Ms. Stott has explained the two additional cases (FE-2010-0001987 and FE-2010-0001988) are re-indictments of counts which as part of the July 2010 plea agreement she had asked not be prosecuted.

Allegations by Dennis Turley:
Case # FE-2010-0000786
Case # FE-2010-0001987

Allegations by Alex Walker:
Case # FE-2010-0000787
Case # FE-2010-0001988
