Man Guilty on Statutory Charge in Fond du Lac Court
In municipal court Judge A Gare sentenced Max Cell of Fond du Lac to one year in Wanpun for a statutory offense related to Frances Climans, aged sixteen. The maximum penalty is three years or a fine up to $1,000. The defense motion for a new trial was denied and deliberations centered on alleged prior marriage status and divorce validity as factors in the case. Jurors heard testimony on the defendant’s credibility and the existence of a previous marriage, with the court noting the need to prove a valid prior marriage for the statute to apply. The judge imposed the minimal state prison term amid arguments about clemency and the defendant’s health conditions.
