WAYNE CO.—For all the naysayers who believed convicted child sex offender Haven Kirkpatrick A) didn’t do it, B) what she did wasn’t really a crime or C) was going to stay in the Wayne County Jail in Fairfield until the scheduled March conference call on attempting to get her a new trial, here ya go:
Screen cap from vinelink as of this morning, 02.11.12. Looks like she's lost a little weight. Might've been laying off the vodka in preparation for this.
Kirkpatrick, sentenced this week on her multi-count conviction of having inappropriate sexual conduct with a 17-year-old girl who was a student of hers at Fairfield Community High School, is scheduled for a March 21 conference call to see where the case stands now that her new attorney, Gary Milone of Flora, has taken over for Bryan Drew, who has proven himself to be no Morgan Scroggins. Generally speaking, convicted persons don’t sit in a local jail for several weeks awaiting a hearing; the county sends them on to the state, because, quite frankly, the convict is expensive, and no longer the county’s problem.
So there you have it…look for updates as Milone tries to wrangle a new trial out of Judge David Frankland here toward the end of March.
