I neglected to mention in my last posting on the Martin Lindstedt case, that Judge Kevin Selby dropped the 22 contempt of court charges against Lindstedt after a court-ordered report indicated he was not capable of helping with his defense against felony statutory sodomy charges.
The information was featured prominently in the Neosho Daily News and is in Newton County Circuit Court records.
I still question the necessity of 22 contempt of court charges. Would it have not been simpler to have issued one contempt of court citation and simply had Lindstedt removed from the courtroom instead of allowing the situation to escalate into a farce?
