Jesusita Attorneys File Briefs
Attorneys for Craig Ilenstine and Dana Larsen, accused of illegal actions that may have led to the start of the devastating Jesusita Fire, plan to file briefs addressing what sort of activities require a hot work permit. The two men each face a charge of not getting a hot work permit before clearing brush along the Jesusita Trail the day the fire began. Their attorneys contend the work they were doing does not fall under the category of requiring a permit. The two also face a charge of not having firefighting tools present. Both sides will argue their cases on 4/19.
Acosta Sentenced
German Acosta, 35, convicted last year of molesting his 12-year-old niece, was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison after listening to his older brother tell Judge Brian Hill how the incident has impacted both his life and the life of his daughter, Acosta’s victim. Acosta, found guilty of aggravated sexual assault along with other lewd acts, was convicted almost solely on the testimony of the girl. According to the girl, Acosta asked her if she had a boyfriend before molesting her, and gave her $20 afterward.
