CASPER, Wyo. — Provided below are the defendants and charges from appearances in Natrona County Circuit Court on Friday, July 17 and Monday, July 20.
The Honorable Seventh Judicial Circuit Court Judge Sweet presided.
All defendants entering not guilty pleas or charged with felonies are presumed innocent until convicted or pleading guilty.
Charges may be amended in future proceedings.
Pleas on felony charges are not entered in circuit court, though bond conditions are set.
Misdemeanor charges included in the same case advance with the felony and to district court, where a formal plea is entered.
A bail bondsman can post a surety bond, typically requiring at least 15%.
A “personal recognizance” or “signature” bond means there is no money required to get out, but the defendant could owe the full amount if they fail to appear.
Factors affecting bond and sentencing include the nature of the crime, the weight of the evidence, ties to the community, and the defendant’s criminal history, including current bonds or active probations.
For probation revocations, the state is only required to prove the allegations in an affidavit for revocation “to a preponderance of the evidence.”
For defendants denying probation violations, a new bond is set.
For purposes of this document, admissions and denials are represented as guilty and not guilty pleas, respectively.
Fees for certain convictions may include $150 to the Crime Victims Compensation Fund, $70 in court costs and $50 to Drug Court assessment.
Only additional fines and restitution amounts are reported below.
