Reports out of Okanogan on the special hearing, today, for James Faire are still not complete, but we know that on the issue of the amount of bail, the Court reduced the amount from the unconstitutional three quarters of a million dollars down to $150,000 and AS WE PUBLISH James is being released.

See here all who have an interest in this case and let the record, public, and here below reproduced, show that James “Strat” Faire has endured four months without the attorney the law mandates he must have.
Although the contract public defender’s firm of Melissa MacDougall insists that Faire has been assigned attorneys, and that they have “met” with their client, the court record shows that since August 18, 2015 when Nicholas Blount withdrew from the case, NO OTHER ATTORNEY HAS FILED A NOTICE OF APPEARANCE ON BEHALF OF JAMES FAIRE. Thus, he has had no representation.

Okanogan County WA – On the evening of June 17, 2015, 48-year-old Richard Alan Finegold of Stanwood WA made a pathetic, yet well set-up 911 call to the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office.

Okanogan County, WA – Facts are pesky little things – especially when they go against what a prosecutor would like to maintain as the truth when seeking a conviction. Some, like Okanogan County’s elected prosecutor, Karl Sloan, discard readily available facts – like those the US~Observer provided his office – for more prosecution-friendly investigative speculation and distortion – with which he was provided by his brother, Kreg Sloan, chief case Detective for the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Department. As of October 6, 2015, Sloan and Sloan, together, have knowingly and intentionally kept a factually innocent James Faire locked in the Okanogan County Jail for nearly four long months. Sloan and Sloan have more than turned a blind-eye to the absolute proof that Faire and Angela Nobilis are completely innocent of the criminal charges filed against them on June 19, 2015. Moreover, each has overtly skirted the law as it affects their duties. Continue reading

He can build anything out of anything
When an falsely accused man sits in jail, as does James Faire in Okanogan County, there is very little for him to do. The jail library has little to offer a man accustomed to study. There is nothing for the hands of a man skilled in making and doing, restoring and repairing, to do.
Waking and sleeping, grooming and eating are regimented … a man’s choices become virtually nonexistent. And his social contacts … are restricted, monitored, his freedom to meet or call a friend … gone. He waits … he waits upon his friends outside … Continue reading
