You may have heard the phrase, "Party like a rock star," but in the past week, it seems more like the phrase should be, "Party like an Oklahoma legislator." An Oklahoma senator concluding his final term and a former Oklahoma Senate President currently running for another office have both been arrested on drunk driving complaints in the past week.
On Thursday, Senator Harry Edward Coates, R-Seminole, was arrested in Texas on a DWI complaint. According to the arrest report, Coates, 63, was pulled over in Howe, Texas, after police noticed him driving erratically. Police say that the senator was unable to maintain balance during questioning and that he was unable to successfully perform the requested tasks during a field sobriety test. Coates was booked into the county jail but released early the next morning on $1500 bond.
Ironically, Coates is the author of a bill that, if passed, would have strengthened DUI penalties in Oklahoma. A 2009 Senate press release describes SB 1014, the Brandon Burgett Act:
Each year, more than 17,000 Americans are killed by drunk drivers including approximately 275 Oklahomans and around 1.5 million drunk drivers are arrested according the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office. Having lost a loved-one in 2008 at the hands of a drunk driver, Sen. Harry Coates has filed legislation to strengthen the penalties against these individuals in hopes that other families won’t have to suffer like his and so many other families have.
SB 1014, also known as the Brandon Burgett Act, is named in memory of Coates’ sister-in-law’s 20-year-old step-nephew. Burgett was killed and his 17-year-old girlfriend put in the hospital after a drunk driver hit them head on as they were coming back from a Christian concert in Oklahoma City on July 5. The drunk driver, 26-year-old Brent Johnson, was killed also. The young couple was driving to Sen. Coates’ brother’s house, where Burgett had lived for the past three years while attending Seminole State College. They were a half mile from their turnoff on I-40 when Johnson hit them head on while traveling west bound in the east bound lane.
“Law enforcement officials told us that thirty seconds more and Brandon and his girlfriend would have been safely off the highway. One’s life can change in an instant, and on that Sunday two lives were senselessly lost and, sadly, they’re just two of the thousands of Americans that die each year in drunk driving accidents,” said Coates, R-Seminole. “We’re all human and we make mistakes, but we must do something in our society so that people stop taking the risk of getting behind the wheel drunk because there aren’t always second chances when it comes to drinking and driving.”
Senator Coates isn't the only local politician dealing with an embarrassing DUI arrest this week. Former Senator Cal Hobson, who is currently running for the office of Canadian County Commissioner was arrested Sunday in Noble on a drunk driving complaint. Police say a breath test indicated Hobson's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to be 0.27 percent, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent. Hobson's alleged BAC was high enough to charge him with aggravated DUI, a felony; however, police say what Hobson did next only made things worse. Allegedly, he offered to pay a Noble police officer up to $50,000 to release him after his arrest. In addition to felony DUI, Hobson was arrested on a bribery complaint, also a felony.
A Kellyville High School teacher who resigned after allegedly exchanging sexually explicit texts with a student has been arrested for second degree rape.
According to reports, Kalyn Darby Thompson, 25, began exchanging text messages with the student in December, when he was 17 years old. When he turned 18 in March, investigators say, the relationship between the student and the teacher turned sexual. Kellyville school administrators say that Thompson resigned in mid-April, admitting that some of the texts between her and the teen were sexual in nature.
Although Thompson was supposed to refrain from contact with the teen, she was allegedly seen in his truck by two students who took a picture of the pair and turned it in to administrators, who then contacted police.
The student's mother says the teen admitted to having sex with Thompson while she was still a teacher, and thus Thompson was arrested on second degree rape complaints.
In Oklahoma, the age of consent is 16, but statutory rape laws prohibit sex between any student under the age of 20 and any person aged 18 or older who is an employee of the same school system. If Thompson and the student had not begun a sexual relationship until after she resigned, it would not have been illegal. However, the sexually explicit text messages and the teen's alleged admission to sex with the teacher prior to her resignation both indicate illegal sex acts.
In 2012, an attorney representing a high school basketball coach Tyrone Nash, who was recently convicted of rape for sex with a student, challenged the state's law prohibiting consensual sex between students and teachers. The lawyer pointed out a ruling in Arkansas where the sexual relationship between a teacher and his 18-year-old student was determined to be a personal privacy issue and not a criminal matter. In Nash's case, an Oklahoma judge upheld the law and said that the Arkansas case had no bearing on Nash's since the student in Arkansas was a legal adult, whereas the 16-year-old student with whom Nash was involved was a minor.
It will be interesting to see if Thompson's attorney tries a similar approach, challenging the constitutionality of a law that prohibits sex between consenting adults in certain situations. It doesn't seem likely that Oklahoma would be too eager to get rid of a law that prohibits sex between students and teachers or inmates and Department of Corrections employees, but if it is determined unconstitutional, the state would have no choice.
A little more than a week after one Oklahoma City-area high school coach was found guilty of second degree rape for having a sexual relationship with a student, another metro-area high school coach has been arrested after being accused of sexually abusing a minor.
On April 25, former Western Heights High School basketball coach Tyrone Nash was found guilty in a bench trial of five counts of second degree rape and five counts of forcible oral sodomy. Although the girl in the case was 16 years old at the time of the offenses and even admitted to getting Nash's number off of his cell phone when he wasn't looking, state law prohibits sex between students and school district employees.Nash's attorney argued that Nash was neither the girl's coach nor teacher, and therefore, was not in a position of authority over her. He challenged the constitutionality of Oklahoma law as it pertains to relationships between students and district employees, but a judge upheld the existing law. Upon finding Nash guilty, Judge Jerry Bass said that if Nash had been a "responsible teacher," he would have handled differently a number of situations that led to the relationship. He cited some 4500 text messages exchanged between Nash and the student and said such communication was "not normal."
Just over a week later, on May 5, a Moore High School basketball coach was arrested after a student under the age of 16 said that he had inappropriate sexual contact with several times over the past two years.
Police were notified of the accusations against the coach when the mother of his accuser walked into a police station in late March and said that her daughter told a friend that Aaron Howell, 38, had touched her inappropriately at a private residence over the last two years, with the last incident taking place in November 2013. According to reports, his accuser said that Howell fondled her, but never attempted to have sexual intercourse with her.
The coach turned himself in to authorities on Monday. He was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail that afternoon on a complaint of lewd acts with a child under 16. As of this writing, bail has not been set and Howell remains in jail.
Lewd or Indecent Proposals or Acts to a Child Under 16 is a felony sex crime regardless of whether those involved are teachers or students. No one under 16 can consent to sexual activity with an adult aged 18 or older. Often called "child molestation," lewd acts to a minor carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if the victim is aged 12 to 15; however, if the victim is under the age of 12, the crime carries a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. Anyone convicted of lewd acts with minors must register as an Oklahoma Sex Offender for life.
Earlier this week, two men were charged Wagoner County District Court in separate cases of sex crimes against children. Both men were arrested the same day and charged with similar crimes on the same day in the same court. They have something else in common as well--both men formerly worked as school bus drivers. One was still a school bus driver at the time of his arrest.
Robert Searl, 45, of Toppers, Oklahoma, was arrested on April 18 after a 12-year-old girl told her mother that Searl took baths and went skinny dipping with her and an 8-year-old girl, and that the three had been doing so for two years. She reported that she didn't realize there was anything wrong with it until someone else told her it was not normal. At that point, she told her mother, who notified authorities. Another 12-year-old girl also told investigators that she and Searl had inappropriate sexual contact.
Searl has been charged with three counts of lewd molestation and two counts of sexual abuse of a minor. He was a former bus driver employed by Wagoner Public Schools from 2009 to 2012.
Eugene Burchett, 71, was a school bus driver and the operator of an unauthorized daycare at the time of his arrest, also on April 81. Burchett was arrested after a 14-year-old girl reported that Burchett, described as a family friend, had been molesting her and having her perform sex acts on her since she was 9 years old. Burchett allegedly took pictures of the sexual encounters between himself and the young girl and showed her the pictures. She told authorities that the man would sometimes give her a ride home from school and have her perform oral sex on him as he drove.
When he was arrested, police say, Burchett allegedly admitted to sexually abusing the girl whose parents reported him and another girl as well. Investigators say there could be as many as ten victims in the case.
On Monday, Burchett was charged with eight counts of lewd or indecent acts or proposals to a child under 16 and one count of performing a lewd act in the presence of a minor. Each count of lewd acts with a minor is punishable by three to 20 years in prison if the victim is aged 12 or older. If, however, a victim is under the age of 12, the offense carries a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison.
As of this writing, both men are held in the Wagoner County Jail, with bond set at $100,000 for Searl and $200,000 for Burchett.
If you are charged with a felony, you face not only the prospect of a prison term, but also collateral consequences that extend beyond your sentence. One of the most commonly known collateral consequences of felony conviction is the loss of the right to possess firearms.
In Oklahoma, felons are prohibited from obtaining a gun license, but there are also several others who cannot obtain an open or concealed carry permit in the state. With the passing of HB 2840, the Oklahoma legislature attempts to clarify some of those restrictions. The bill was sent earlier this week to Governor Mary Fallin for her approval.
Authored by Rep.Charles McCall and Sen. Josh Brecheen, HB 2840 amends 21 O.S. 1283 to add to the persons prohibited from possessing firearms anyone who is "under the jurisdiction of any alternative court program." The statute is amended to define and clarify what constitutes an alternative court.
Section 1283 makes it illegal for convicted felons to possess firearms or have them under immediate control, including riding in a vehicle in which there is a gun or having guns in his or her residence, whether or not the person is the owner of the firearm in question.
The statute also allows the reinstatement of firearm rights for people who have been convicted of non-violent felonies and who later received a full pardon for the offense.
The next portion of the statute is one that will be amended by HB 2840 if Gov. Fallin signs it into law. It will read as follows (bold portion reflects the amendment):
"It shall be unlawful for any person serving a term of probation for any felony in any court of this state or of another state or of the United States or under the jurisdiction of any alternative court program to have in his or her possession or under his or her immediate control, or at his or her residence, or in any passenger vehicle which the supervised person is operating or is riding as a passenger, any pistol, shotgun or rifle, including any imitation or homemade pistol, altered air or toy pistol, shotgun or rifle, while such person is subject to supervision, probation, parole or inmate status."
In a subsequent section, the amended statute defines "alternative court program" as "any drug court, Anna McBride or mental health court, DUI court or veterans court."
In addition to those convicted of felony or serving a term of probation for a felony, anyone adjudicated delinquent or a youthful offender for a crime which would be a felony if committed by an adult is prohibited from firearm possession for a period of 10 years following the adjudication.
Furnishing a firearm to a convicted felon is a felony, as is being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Last month, the naked body of Jarrae Nykkole Estepp, 21, was found on the conveyor belt of an Anaheim trash sorting facility. The young woman had arrived in California from Oklahoma shortly before her murder.
Estepp was known to have been involved in prostitution. Between January and March 2012, she was arrested at least three times for prostitution, and in those cases, she was convicted three times of offering to engage in prostitution and once of engaging in an act of lewdness.
When she moved to California, police say she frequented an area known for prostitution. Only a short time later, her choice of activities would lead to her being the target of two suspected serial killers.
Santa Ana police had been investigating the disappearance of three suspected prostitutes since last fall. With the discovery of Estepp's body in Anaheim, they finally got a break in the case.
Police were able to connect two registered sex offenders to the woman's death, in part because the men were wearing court-ordered GPS ankle monitors when they allegedly raped and murdered the woman.
Steven Dean "Skeeter" Gordon, 46, and Franc Cano, 27, are registered sex offenders who were transients living in cars and an RV. In separate cases, Gordon and Cano were convicted of Lewd or Lascivious Acts with a Child Under 14. Gordon was convicted in 1992 and Cano was convicted in 2008.
Both men were ordered to wear GPS ankle monitors as a condition of parole. However, in 2012, both men cut off their ankle bracelets and fled to Las Vegas where they lived in the Circus Circus hotel and casino for two weeks until their capture.
After subsequent felony convictions for their failure to register, the men were again released from prison. They were ordered to check in with law enforcement every 30 days and again required to wear a GPS monitor. Additionally, they were ordered to provide DNA samples to a federal database and to have their computers monitored by federal agents.
Despite frequent contact with law enforcement, monitoring by federal agents, and wearing devices intended to monitor their whereabouts at all times, investigators believe the men were able to rape and murder four women in Oklahoma. They have been charged with four counts of rape and four counts of murder, and they are being held without bail until a May 19 hearing.
Investigators strongly suspect that the men were involved in the murder of a fifth woman. They believe that, due to the transient nature of the men, the pair could be responsible for many more murders across the country. They say they are in contact with missing persons departments across the nation.
Sex offenders are typically at low risk of re-offense. Some, however, continue to commit crimes regardless of the restrictions placed on them.
In February, a sex offender went missing for a week after cutting off his ankle monitor and fleeing a Denver halfway house. Eric Eugene Hartwell, a twice-convicted sex offender, convicted of the rape of a 6-year-old girl and the attempted rape of a 17-year-old girl. He had numerous convictions for failure to register as a sex offender, was under federal supervision, and had previously cut off an ankle monitor in Washington and fled to Texas in 2009.
Each year, we hear dozens of stories of infants and young children who have died after being left unattended in cars. Each year, an average of 37 kids die of heatstroke in hot cars. While some of these children die after becoming trapped in a car or trunk while playing, many are forgotten by their parents or intentionally left "for a few minutes" while the parent runs an errand. In 2013, 43 children died in hot cars, and since 1998, more than 600 children have died of heatstroke after being left in a hot car.
Many of these are children whose parents are busy, distracted, or simply out of their usual routine and who accidentally, and tragically, forget that their kids are in the car. While it is easy to point fingers and ask what kind of a person would forget his or her own child, statistics show that it can happen to anyone
A wrenching, Pulitzer Prize-winning story in The Washington Post tells exactly what kind of person forgets a child in a sweltering car:
"What kind of person forgets a baby?
The wealthy do, it turns out. And the poor, and the middle class. Parents of all ages and ethnicities do it. Mothers are just as likely to do it as fathers. It happens to the chronically absent-minded and to the fanatically organized, to the college-educated and to the marginally literate. In the last 10 years, it has happened to a dentist. A postal clerk. A social worker. A police officer. An accountant. A soldier. A paralegal. An electrician. A Protestant clergyman. A rabbinical student. A nurse. A construction worker. An assistant principal. It happened to a mental health counselor, a college professor and a pizza chef. It happened to a pediatrician. It happened to a rocket scientist."
In some of these cases, forgetful parents are punished by the criminal justice system for a mistake for which they will already punish themselves for the rest of their lives. When a parent's failing has already cost him or her a child's life, what more could a fine or a jail term do to teach a lesson in parenting?
Still, many cases are not simple forgetfulness or "fatal distraction," as the title of the aforementioned article describes. Some parents intentionally leave their children unattended in vehicles as they run errands, take care of business, or worse. When considering these acts of criminal neglect, should the motive be taken into account?
Heather Jensen was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide but found guilty of child abuse resulting in death when her two children, aged 2 and 4, died of hyperthermia after being left in a locked car with the heater running while their mother had sex and got high in a car parked nearby. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Daniel Gray was charged with child abuse and manslaughter after his 3-month-old son died in a hot car while the father went to "check on business" at the sports bar where he worked and allegedly smoked marijuana outside the vehicle while his unattended son died in the car on a 100-degree day.
But contrast these tales with that of Shanesha Taylor, an unemployed mother living on food stamps who, unable to find a babysitter, left her two children in a car while she went to a job interview. Taylor left the windows rolled down, but that isn't enough to prevent heatstroke, nor is heatstroke the only danger associated with leaving toddlers unattended in a vehicle. Taylor's 2-year-old and 6-month-old children survived the ordeal, but their mother was charged with neglect. Some of Taylor's supporters say her act was one of desperation rather than neglect as she tried to get a job to improve her life and that of her children. A site for her support has garnered more than $90,000 in donations. Still, critics say, she abused and neglected her children by leaving them unattended in a vehicle for more than an hour.
Oklahoma is one of 19 states that has a specific law against leaving children and vulnerable adults unattended in a vehicle. The Forget-Me-Not Vehicle Safety Act, found in 47 O.S. 11-1119, reads in part as follows:
B. A person responsible for a child who is six (6) years of age or younger, or a caretaker of a vulnerable adult as defined by Section 10-103 of Title 43A of the Oklahoma Statutes, shall not leave that child or vulnerable adult unattended in a motor vehicle if the conditions, including, but not limited to, extreme weather, inadequate ventilation, or hazardous or malfunctioning components within the vehicle present a risk to the health or safety of the unattended child or vulnerable adult.
C. It shall not be considered a violation of this section if the child or vulnerable adult is accompanied in the motor vehicle by a person at least twelve (12) years of age who is not mentally incompetent as defined by Section 1-103 of Title 43A of the Oklahoma Statutes.
D. Any person convicted of violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by:
E. Any person convicted of violating the provisions of this section who has left a child or vulnerable adult unattended in a motor vehicle on the premises of any establishment which holds any license for the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises pursuant to Section 521 of Title 37 of the Oklahoma Statutes, and who has consumed any alcoholic beverage during the period of time the child or vulnerable adult has been unattended, shall be punished by a fine of not less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).
F. Nothing in this section precludes prosecution under any other provision of law.
At the very least, leaving a child aged 6 or younger unattended in a car can bring a minimal fine; however, charges of child endangerment or child neglect may also be likely. At worst, a child could die, and the parent would suffer not only the loss of his or her child, but also a felony homicide charge.
What do you think? Should intent play a role in criminal charges or sentencing?
Typically, we think of theft crimes and white collar crimes as motivated by greed. A CEO commits investment fraud in order to fund a lavish lifestyle. A non-profit treasurer wants a new car or a designer wardrobe. A construction head wants plastic surgery and expensive trips. Certainly, greed is a powerful motivator.
So is desperation. So is addiction.
Often, embezzlement and theft are conducted on a much smaller scale. An employee finds himself or herself in dire financial straits, looking at foreclosure of a home or repossession of an automobile. Desperate to come up with the money he or she needs to keep possession of the family home or other property, the employee "borrows" money from company accounts with every intent to repay. However, he or she is unable to repay the money or is caught before the money is replaced, and now the employee is in both financial trouble and legal trouble.
Sometimes, the financial difficulties in which a person finds himself or herself come from pure and simple bad luck. Other times, an addiction fuels the financial destruction. Often, this addiction may be a drug addiction, or it may be a gambling addiction.
Earlier this year, a Lawton woman was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison and five years of probation after she was convicted of stealing more than $840,000 and gambling it away in a matter of months.
Investigators say the woman worked for a company responsible for transporting money from banks to ATMs. In late 2011, Maria Estelle Martin began keeping the money rather than delivering it to its intended destination. The theft was discovered in early 2012 when the ATM machines were found empty.
In September 2013, the 47-year-old woman pleaded guilty to embezzling cash from a credit institution. Although she faced the possibility of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine, she was sentenced to just 33 months in a federal prison in Texas. Upon release, she will serve five years of supervised probation.
Martin is also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $846,670.
In just a few short months, a woman with no criminal record--a former home room mother and girl scout leader--became a criminal, stealing hundreds of thousand dollars and gambling it all away. Clearly, the gambling loss of nearly $850,000 is more than a matter of recreation. It is a symptom of an addiction. Reports say Martin would visit casinos up to 10 times a day, blowing up to $70,000 in a single slot machine.
Virtually no one plans to become a criminal. However, desperate situations spiral out of control, making people victims of their own addictions. If you need help with a legal situation caused by a foolish decision or addiction, call Coventon Criminal Defense at (405) 417-3842.
While much of the United States is enthralled in March Madness and the NCAA basketball playoffs, another NCAA championship tournament played out last weekend in Oklahoma City. While Penn State and Minnesota took first and second in the team rankings, Oklahoma State University took third, and the University of Oklahoma placed a respectable 10th. Oklahoma State's Chris Perry and Alex Dieringer won the first place matches in their weight classes, while their teammates Joshua Kindig and Tyler Caldwell were defeated in their championship matches.
Another teammate, however, is the one making headlines--this one for a less prestigious distinction. Just hours before his team placed third in the NCAA wrestling championship, Edward Klimara, 20, was arrested for public intoxication and cocaine possession.
It is no secret that college wrestlers train hard. They must adhere to strict diets and often go to extreme measures to make weight. Whether Klimara was blowing off a little steam after the end of his season or drowning his sorrows after narrowly missing competing as an all-American in the championship remains to be seen.
What is certain, though, is that his alleged actions in the early hours Saturday morning have cost the college sophomore a place on one of the most storied teams in collegiate wrestling.
Police say that an employee of the Redneck Yacht Club on the W. I-40 Service Road in Oklahoma City called them after noticing Klimara enter the men's room and slip a baggie containing a white, powdery substance into his pocket.
They say that Klimara, who allegedly had slurred speech and was unsteady on his feet, told them that he had not "partied" since October 2013 due to his rigorous training schedule. The wrestler was arrested for public intoxication, and when the substance in his pocket was determined to be 0.21 grams of cocaine, he was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on a complaint of possession of a CDS (controlled dangerous substance).
Something that weighs roughly the same as two drops of water has had a much weightier effect on the promising athlete's life.
Klimara has been dismissed from the Oklahoma State University wrestling team for violating team rules. The sophomore was a runner-up for the Big 12 Championship in his weight class, and only one win away from competing in the NCAA Championship. Being kicked off the team could have a profound impact on his college wrestling career.
Of course, the impact of a drug possession conviction will be much more significant. In Oklahoma, possession of a Schedule I or Schedule II CDS, except marijuana, is a felony punishable by 2 to 10 years in prison. Cocaine is a Schedule II drug.
It is understandable that a young man who worked so hard for so long would want to blow off some steam. Unfortunately, he is accused of doing so in a manner that can have lifelong consequences.

When it comes to DUI in Oklahoma, there is a legal limit for how much alcohol can be in a person's blood stream before he or she is considered to be impaired or intoxicated. Anyone found to be driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or greater will be charged with DUI, but a driver can be charged with DWI (Driving While Impaired) with a BAC as low as 0.06 percent.
When it comes to driving under the influence of drugs, however, the state holds no tolerance. A person can be charged with DUI with any detectable amount of drugs or their metabolites in his or her blood stream. State legislators passed the amendment to HB 1441 last spring. In theory, it sounds good to those wanting safer streets and a "tough-on-drugs" approach. In reality, the law makes no sense as written.
Under Oklahoma law, a person can be arrested for drugged driving with any detectable amount of a Schedule I drug, including marijuana, or its metabolites in his or her blood. Certainly, we do not want people driving while high--distorted perception, delayed reaction, and other effects of a drug can be deadly on the road. But THC from marijuana and metabolites of drugs can be present in a person's system long after the effects of the drug wear off. These substances can remain in a person's blood stream in detectable amounts as long as 30 days after drug use.
In other words, you could be arrested for DUI a month after smoking pot.
In general, a person would not be subjected to a blood test if he or she was not involved in a serious accident or if he or she was not exhibiting signs of impairment. Police would need probable cause to make an arrest. Unfortunately, some unethical officers may "manufacture" probable cause, claiming to smell marijuana or saying they observe signs of impairment--like this state trooper who falsified at least 40 DUI arrests. Since the per se drugged driving law passed in Oklahoma, attorneys have noticed an increase in the number of clients seeking representation for a DUI arrest that happened days or weeks after drug use.
Driving drunk is dangerous. Driving high is dangerous. There is no question about that. However, prosecuting people for driving while unimpaired after prior drug use does not make sense. For now, though, the law as written allows for DUI charges for anyone with even trace amounts of a drug in the blood stream, even if those trace amounts have no impact on a person's ability to drive or his or her level of impairment.
Imagine if you had a few beers while watching the game on Sunday. You are a responsible adult, so you stayed home, watching the game from the comfort of your easy chair--after all, drinking and driving can be deadly. On Monday morning, you get up and head for work. You are running a little behind, so you drive a little faster than the speed limit. When you see the police car's flashing lights behind you, you are annoyed at the ticket you know you are about to get. Instead, you are arrested for DUI for the beers you drank yesterday.
It sounds ridiculous, and under the law, it could not happen--unless, instead of drinking beer, you smoked a joint.
Is it likely to be arrested for DUI three weeks after having smoked marijuana? No. Is it possible? Yes.
