A Mason County jury got an education in "teeners" and "eight balls" before finding a Hoodsport man not guilty of selling an ille- gal drug for profit. The three-day trial of Richard Kenneth Cloud, 43, of North 5751 Lake Cushman Road, concluded Wednesday afternoon. He was charged in Mason County Superi- or Court with two counts of sell- ing methamphetamine for profit. He was arrested last May after an investigation by WESTNET, an organization of law agencies that concentrates on enforcing the state's drug laws. The prose- cution's star witness was Steve Hudson, a confidential informant who agreed to buy drugs in ex- change for money and a promise that the state would drop robbery charges pending against him. HUDSON TESTIFIED that he met with Cloud in Hoodsport twice last April. He told the court that on April 17 he bought a "teener," street talk for a six- teenth of an ounce of meth, and on April 21 he bought an "eight ball," an eighth of an ounce of the homemade drug. Also testifying for the state were Deputy Jim Petraitis of the Mason County Sheriffs Office and Frank O'Brien. O'Brien was a Mason County sheriffs deputy at the time of Cloud's arrest. He is now an officer with the Pierce County Sheriffs Office. Defense Attorney Charles Lane tried to cast doubt on Hudson's reliability and pointed out that the sheriffs deputies working with Hudson didn't see Cloud ex- change drugs for the "recorded" money provided by WESTNET. Deputy Prosecutor Amber Fin- lay presented the state's case against Cloud. In response to her questions, O'Brien told the court that Hudson signed a contract with WESTNET. "PART OF THAT contract is an understanding of what they're going to do and what they can do and under what obligation we are," O'Brien said. O'Brien told the court has used dozens of help make drug the "controlled buy," in informant uses traced to the buy if a gets arrested with soe possession. "We contacted made arrangements Cloud and purchase O'Brien said day testimony was takaa trial. During his cross Lane asked O'Brien if he Hudson was a reliable "IS THIS would have over ably not.

If motion on n-larder trial the allegation is proved true he could get 60 days in jail for violat- ing the conditions of his release. Carrell was convicted last year of assault in the second degree af- ter an incident in which his wife suffered a broken leg. "There's no way I was dirty on the day they was saying," Carrell told the court. He said he hasn't smoked mar- ijuana in five months and hasn't had a single beer. "I'm not guilty of this coke usage they're saying," he said. Sawyer took note of his denial and appointed Sergi to be his at- torney. The judge scheduled a March 25 hearing on the alleged claimed "criminal jurisdiction was never established." He also ques- tioned the credentials of Officer ttumberto DelaCruz of the Shel- ton Police Department, who tes- tified at his trial. DelaCruz was fired, according to the police de- partment, after his supervisors discovered he had lied about be- ing an American citizen. "This surely doesn't recom- mend the investigative processes of the discredited Shelton Police Department," DelBosque wrote. His contentions, however, didn't convince the judge. REWAI00: FIND SANDY'S PRUNERS! i ’J We accidentally planted a pair of Sandy's fhvorite pruners in one of our Home Improvement Coming April 15th Here's your chance to tell about your product .or service the Judge James Sawyer denied a motion filed recently in Mason County Superior Court by a con- victed murderer seeking his free- dora or another trial. The judge let Cristian Job Del- Bosque file the motion himself be- cause he can't afford an attorney but on March 2 he refused to grant the motion the prisoner produced. DelBosque claims his arraign- ment was flawed and that the court never established jurisdic- tion in the case. He was convicted after a trial in August, 1994 of killing 17-year-old Kristina Berg and 21-year-old Filiberto Soldana Sandoval the previous fall. Prosecutor Gary Burleson per- suaded the jury that DelBosque shot Sandoval with a gun during an argument they had after a night of drinking and then killed Berg with a meat cleaver because she knew about the crime. Saw- yer sentenced him to life in prison without parole. "Being that the jurisdiction did not attach, in this travesty of jus- tice, the constitutional conviction is a 'nullity' and the only just re- course is either to order movant's immediate release from this pat- ently unconstitutional incarcera- tion or return to court for a Con- stitutional trial," DelBosque wrote in his motion.
