Recent Proposition 36 Com- mitments: Note: All cases wherein a defendant is sentenced per the terms of Proposition 36 are not at the request of the Tehama County District Attorney’s Office. Per the requirements of Proposition 36, a defendant who possesses drugs cannot be sentenced to confine- ment time in jail or prison. Instead, the court must place defendant on probation and require drug treatment alone. Per the requirements of Proposition 36, only upon a third drug related probation violation may the court impose confinement time. In the event the defendant violates a non- drug related term of probation the court may then elect to sentence defendant to jail or prison. The Tehama County District Attorney’s Office contends that each criminal case is unique and that in certain, specific, cases a defendant should be sentenced to a combination of drug treatment and jail time. We further contend that in other specific cases where a defendant has an extensive crimi- nal record and/or a history of non- compliance with either previous grants of probation or previous grants of drug treatment, a state prison sentence should properly be imposed. • Terri Monroe Ison was sen- tence d to Prop. 36 probation for possession of a controlled sub- stance. Ison was originally granted for- mal probation. Ison violated his probation when he was terminated from the proposition 36 treatment program. Preliminary Hearings (PX) and Trials: • Susan Amelia Childs will appear in court at 9 a.m. on April 6 facing a charge of murder. Childs and victim were arguing inside their residence when Childs grabbed a knife and stabbed the victim in the lower abdominal region. Officers conducted a brief search of the area and located Childs hiding in the brush a short distance from the residence. Offi- cers were unable to revive the vic- tim who was pronounced dead at the scene.
