Judge denies motion to revoke for Clinton Kamacho, orders transfer to inpatient treatment
Summary
Faced with a motion to revoke, Clinton Kamacho chose transfer to an inpatient treatment program instead of immediate revocation and a five-year sentence; the court denied the revocation motion, ordered transfer while he remains in custody, and noted dismissal of remaining case(s).
The court addressed a motion to revoke for Clinton Kamacho after prior proceedings and a disputed matter involving Veteran Treatment Court attendance. Defense counsel (Davidson) and the court discussed whether the veteran-treatment program had been attended as required.
The judge offered Kamacho two options: be revoked, found guilty and sentenced (the judge indicated a possible five-year term), or continue and be transferred to an inpatient treatment program described in court as a "safety" program. Kamacho chose the treatment option. The court denied the motion to revoke, amended conditions to include transfer to the inpatient program and ordered that Kamacho remain in custody until he is transferred.
"These are your only two choices. Which do you prefer?" the judge asked; Kamacho said he would choose the treatment program. The judge recorded that this was Kamacho’s first motion to revoke and denied the motion while arranging a transfer and later re-referral to the veteran treatment court upon release.
The court also indicated that a dismissal for the remaining case(s) would be handled so the transfer could proceed and that probation was to be consulted and available by Zoom if needed for future contested hearings.
Following the ruling, court staff paused to place a hold on prospective jurors for upcoming jury selection and addressed logistical questions about an interpreter and remote probation appearances.
No term of incarceration from a revocation was imposed because the court denied the motion and ordered treatment transfer; the court noted the defendant would remain in custody until the transfer occurred.
