Criminal defense attorney McDougall is slated to address these issues for the civil court this Friday:

Other News:
There is yet another civil lawsuit against ayres on the docket.
william hamilton ayres was arrested on April 5, 2007 on charges relating to his molestation of many young boys while he was alleging to provide psychiatric care to private patients as well as referrals for evaluation from the juvenile court system in San Mateo County. ayres has been delaying his way through the system free from custody until this latest gambit to skirt prosecution by playing demented for the courts. ayres is currently under the conservatorship of his daughter Barbara Ayres of Sacramento, CA.
ayres has had significant interaction over the years with local politicians on boards like the "Children and Families First Commission," including the DA who was serving when prosecution began Jim Fox and Assemblyman Rich Gordon. In fact, Gordon nominated ayres for a lifetime achievement award for his "Tireless effort to improve the lives of children." ayres has also been vocally supported during his criminal trial by local head-shrinkers like Bart Blinder, Etta Bryant, Mel Blaustein, Harry Coren, Tom Ciesla, Robert Kimmich, Larry Lurie, Maria Lymberis, Richard Shadoan, Captane Thomson, and Harold Wallach.
Has anyone from the County notified the victims of this new hearing, as Marsy's Law requires them to do?
ReplyDeleteSome victims who were promised several months ago that they would be kept informed of all hearings have never heard back from anyone in the County, in violation of Marsy's Law.
Delay delay delay.
ReplyDeleteIs Ayres' passport confiscated? I see that coming up next...
The papers reported back in 2007 that his passport had expired.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that the "new" lawsuit has been filed by Carcione's law firm. It's actually being brought by the son of an Ayres victim who filed a lawsuit in 2007 but then died.
ReplyDeleteGood for the victim's family for pursuing this. Keep socking it to Ayres.
This is a wrongful death suit. So many of Ayres' victims have committed suicide. Their families should be bringing wrongful death suits against Ayres, too.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting point. I hope there is connecting evidence.
