Aids Task Force: Update II
For the history on this issue see these posts: Aids Task Force: Update and Wayne County Aids Task Force: Prosecution Time.
William Selkirk faced 10 felony counts in Wayne County arising out of his time as the director of the non-profit. HE plead guilty back in 2007 to 3 D Felony Theft charges, got no time in jail, 1 year of probation, and was ordered to pay restitution of about $8,000.
He finished off his 1 year on probation, paid the restitution and the court dropped the felony convictions down to misdemeanors on July 18, 2008, per the agreement of the parties.
He also faced a set of charges in Fayette County, Indiana, filed back in February of 2006. That case had been set for trial for October 27, 2008, but Mr. Selkirk plead guilty as charged on October 23, 2008. He plead guilty in to a C Felony forgery charge, a D Felony credit card fraud charge and an A misdemeanor deception charge - sentencing is set for November 23, 2008. With no agreement on file, this would appear to be a “mercy plea,” meaning the trial judge would determine the sentences based on the statutory ranges.
