Posted by Webmaster in Arizona, Church Schools, Elementary Schools, Hall of Shame, ME-FV, Teachers - Misc

Speers was sentenced to 17 years in prison on each count, with the sentences by law required to run consecutive for a total of 34 years in prison.

Following the sentencing, Speers mother Charlotte said, “Yuma County taxpayers need to know this is not how this case will end. The prosecution cannot win the case against Greg in a fair trial. There are so many reversible errors, it will once again be overturned by the higher courts. Every time we go back to trial, more of the truth is revealed and more counts are dropped. In the end, Greg will be found totally innocent and will be a free man. We aren’t ever going to give up on this, no matter how long it takes”.

Speers was credited with the 2,553 days previously served, dating back to his original conviction, which was over-turned on appeal.

Speers is awaiting a retrial for the 2002 conviction on two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor for having child pornography on his computer. That conviction was also over-turned. He was originally sentenced to 34 years total on those counts.
