Preliminary Hearing for Crime Committed at Church Building
Posted: 4:48 p.m. MST, Feb. 7, 2007
LOGAN, Utah— A preliminary hearing occurred this morning for Jim Michaels, a 35-year-old charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering, misdemeanor vandalism, and a felony charge of burglary. The crime happened early in the morning on Jan. 31st at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building in Logan, Utah. The hearing is scheduled to begin on March 21, 2007.
Defense Attorney Robbie Cochran is representing Michaels and said he is pleading not guilty. When asked about whether or no they have any reason to convict Michaels, Cochran replied that “evidence we have we show that my client is not guilty of the crimes of which he has been charged.” But according to District Attorney Noel Mayfield, when asked about evidence linking Michaels to the crime she responded by saying, “We have fingerprint evidence, past criminal history and through interviews we believe we have enough to find him guilty.”
The suspects were apprehended at Michaels’ residence in Logan. “It was a peaceful apprehension,” said Sheriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty. “We had several tips that led us in that direction.”
The two CPUs that were stolen from the building have since been recovered at a pawnshop. Michaels, if convicted of the crime, is facing 6 months to a year in jail and up to a $5000 fine. The minor is not being charged at this time.

Great Job! Yours is really good, I should have looked at yours- just kidding. Seriously, you got that done really fast and included a lot of important details.
Your story was full of details and it kept my attention while I was reading. I also liked how you got the important details out right at the begining without sounding like you were just listing details. Very good!
