Eric Clanton takes 3-year probation deal in Berkeley rally bike lock assault case
The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 8, 2018 | Emilie Raguso

A former East Bay college philosophy professor who was charged with four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury, has taken a deal resulting in three years of probation for an attack at a Berkeley protest last year, court records reveal.

Wednesday, Clanton was supposed to have had his preliminary hearing, where a judge decides whether there's enough evidence in a case for it to move ahead to trial. Instead, there was no hearing, and information about Clanton's plea deal became available online.

The police should save some trouble by keeping an eye on his yard now- just a matter of time until hookers and runaways are buried there.

That’s what I would do”

You can do something like that and only get probation?

Nope. Pretty good, but you don’t get a book written for you!

. . . four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury, has taken a deal resulting in three years of probation . . .

In case anyone has not already noticed, real Americans will not receive justice in Berkeley's court system. One way or another, whether through federal charges (they have done it against cops when they thought local courts had failed) or other means, decent people have a responsibility to protect the innocent by ensuring that justice is delivered against the guilty. This thug is definitely guilty.

No contest to ONE charge of misdemeanor battery, for striking seven people in the head? No felony charges?

Sounds like the prosecution and the judge were on Clanton's side.

Once again, a leftist judge letting a criminal leftist go with a slap on the wrist. I no longer trust people in government.
