Below is the Arizona sentencing guideline and below that the official Arizona court information for the ongoing case of Thomas J. Chantry. You will notice that in addition to the five counts of molestation of a child, Chantry is also charged with two counts of aggravated assault with serious physical injury. I am not an attorney, so there is no way I will attempt to interpret this guideline except to say that, if convicted, Chantry is going to be facing a long prison sentence.
It looks as if Tom Chantry obtained one of the best defense attorneys in the state of Arizona.
{Editorial note: Based on some discussions I have had, I removed some financial speculation which is not germane to the issues at hand.]
