Contempt

The hearing on Mr. Smiley's Motion for Relief was held on Monday, June 15, 2009. Mr. Smiley testified briefly, and I cross examined him briefly as well.

After considering the arguments of the parties, and after having dome independent research, Judge Mitchell denied the motion for relief and returned Mr. Smiley to custody for an indefinite period.

Mr. Smiley remains in jail, and will until either he produces the Dinars, or until he convinces the court at a later time that continued incarceration will not have a coercive effect.
