Steve Whitehouse, Olympia attorney who had been appointed to represent Fletcher, told the court he was asking for dismissal of the charges, to which Fletcher had pleaded guilty, on the basis that the prosecutor's office did not bring him in promptly for sentencing and that the court failed to appoint an attorney for Fletcher when he appeared in court in September of 1977. Judge Alexander, in dismissing the charge, stated he was doing it on the basis that the length of time between the time Fletcher pleaded guilty and the time he was brought in for sentencing was so long as to constitute an unreasonable delay. The dismissal, he said, was not on the basis of failure to appoint an attorney for Fletcher in 1977. Whitehouse told the court Fletcher had been charged with grand larceny March 24, 1972 and was arrested March 31, 1972. He said Shelton attorney Gerald Whitcomb was appointed to represent Fletcher on the charge and that Fletcher pleaded guilty on April 14, 1972 and was released on personal recognizance while awaiting a presentence report before being sentenced. An order requesting the presentence report was signed June 15, 1972. Whitehouse told the court there was no action by the prosecutor's office until September 1, 1977 when a better that way." Although the records show Dee was born sometime in November of 1928, neither his exact date nor place of birth is known here.

" Dee took a special trip with one of his Exceptional Manor friends a couple of years ago. The big attraction was Dlsneyland. "I really enjoyed it," says Dee. "I met lots of friends and that, and had a lot of fun. We went by bus. It was a long ride." As an Exceptional Forester, Dee worked some in the Smile Awhile With Brad company's own woodshop, fashioning cedar picnic tables and planter boxes and the like. He also did some Christmas-tree harvesting work, And now, even with his full-time duties at the hospital, Dee still does volunteer kitchen work for theForesters quite regularly.

He was released with instructions to contact the probation officer about the presentence report. He said another bench warrant was issued for Fletcher February 24, 1978 and that lie was again arrested. Deputy Prosecutor Richard Adamson told the court Fletcher had created the problem of the delay himself by his failure to contact the probation officer about the pre-sentence rep3r ! and by not obeng  0rdersl pf the court. Adamson told the court Fletcher served in the Army part of the time after his guilty plea He also said Fletcher had been convicted of second-degree assault in King County in 1975. Adamson told the court he had first become aware of the case in 1977 and had gotten lhe bench warrant to attempt to find Fletcher. He said there was an order for a presentence in the file, but that no presentence had ever been prepared because the probation officer had been unable to contact Fletcher. Judge Alexander, in dismissing the case, said it appeared the only attempt to contact Fletcher after he pleaded letters which were sent a couple of months after his release. Judge Alexander, after hearing a request for additional testing of John F. Smith, Shelton, charged with rape, assault and burglary, agreed to continue trial of the case until the November jury term. Smith's attorney, Jack ltanemann, Olympia, told the court Ie had received a report from a clinical psychologist who had examined Smith that there was a possibility of brain damage and that lie would like to have Smith examined by d neurologist. The court continued the request for one week to give the prosecutor's office time to check to see if the test could be done at a slate hospital. Entering pleas of not guilty to charges of second-degree burglary were Joseph Bolduc and James Goin. They appeared with their attorney, Stephen Foster, Olympia, to enter pleas of not guilty. The court agreed to release George Itenson, Shelton, on personal recognizance to the custody of his stepfather. The request for release was made by Hanemann, who repre.sents Henson. Deputy Prosecutor Gary Burleson told the court he had no objection to the release.
