Rochard

Donny was a photographer who operated out of Chico, California. Chico is a college down. Donny was known as "Mr. Tripod" because all he did was put a girl in front of a camera on a tripod and pose them without ever having moved the camera. At one point had a site called Donny's Girls or something.

Eventually he left adult, claimed to have found god, and then went around the country for XXX Church talking about the evils of pornography.

Then he was arrested for mulitple charges involving minors.

To make a very long story much shorter Donny was a guy who worked in the porn biz. He left the biz when he said he found God and started making money giving speeches and making appearances as an anti-porn advocate. He was a fairly controversial guy when he was in the biz and continued to sometimes show up on GFY after he left it.

He was arrested for a few things. One of the charges (forgive me I am no lawyer so I'm not sure what the proper charges are I'm just describing what I know) is that he was having sex with a 12-13 year old girl who was living with him. Another charges was a friend of his who was prison corrections officers supposedly asked Donny to have sex with his daughter who was in that same age range while he watched and jerked off. The claim is that Donny did just that.

There are likely other lesser charges added on in relation to these things, but this is the jist of what he is in trouble for. Upon his arrest he was hit with (I think) a million dollar bail. He didn't have the money to make bond so he has been sitting in jail for several months while waiting to go to trail. At last his trial is happening in a just a few weeks and now he has fired his lawyer and appears to be representing himself.

Somebody, or several of us, need to be there on the scene. Seeing this egomaniac represent himself will be the show of the century. I hope there is a 30 day delay so I can get to Sutter County.

Donny "has an Associate's Degree from DeVry University" yet he always thinks he is the smartest person in the room.

In the words of Sir Mix a Lot...."lawyers ate 'em up like catfish".

Far-L

The age old axiom is "A person that represents himself has a fool for a client".

He is going to dig his hole deeper than ever. Judges hate when people represent themselves.

To quote some scripture for Donny: "The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?" - Ecclesiastes 6:11
He sure does like to talk it up, 12 single-spaced, handwritten pages. lol.

The only people that profit are those who enjoy all the entertainment.

I'm still getting off on the fact of the 400-ish pages printed off, that were mailed off, and they got to him.
People said he'd probably reply... ...and he did!

The best part is I'm sure while he is up there giving his case/argument he'll be getting high off himself. Just watch the porn debate with Ron Jeremy and look at his expressions, he loves being the center of attention.

I can't help but feel that the prosecution has been unintentionally crowdfunded ammo to use in the case, possibly by reading this thread.

True and, even then, experienced criminal trial attorneys with years of trial experience know not to represent themselves.

Donny is going to put himself away for a very very long time.

And most police know not to talk to police. I find it hilarious when one thinks he can talk himself out of it. Charges... charges... and more charges... and more convictions...

xenigo

I've done a bit of research regarding this topic, and my conclusion is that the law and conviction is based not on the age, but on the physical development of the minor. For instance, if the law seeks to convict you of pedophilia, they would not be required to prove to a jury that you were fucking a woman that appeared to be 35 but you neglected to check her ID, but that she had narrow hips, and under-developed breasts, and legitimately appeared to be underage. The distinction being an attraction to children, not physically developed minors.

Of course, you will still be convicted if you have sex with a 17 year and 364 day old, but the argument will not be that you were a pedophile.

Also... judges & juries tend to convict people based not on actions, but on intentions.

sonofsam

What I really want to know is, who in Donny's life had an idea about some of this stuff he's accused of doing before he was arrested

Representing yourself is what delusional people do.

Rochard

Criminals always think they are smarter than everyone else.

I don't know about anyone else but I have never so much as seen a real trial in person - No way I would be able to defend myself in such a case.

If I understand correctly, the judge told Donnie there would be no way he could come back after the trial and say "lack of legal representation" - The risks were explained to him.

I get the feeling that Donny feels he will be able to get the girls on the stand and get them to tell everyone that they made the whole thing up or he will be able to put himself on the stand and explain how this is all a big misunderstanding.

One thing is for sure, there is a reason even seasoned attorneys don't represent themselves in cases. Donny's ship was already sinking, this is like him blowing a hole in the bottom of the boat.

crockett

You might of heard of "porn and pancakes". That was Donny doing the speaking at those anti porn events after he found God or de died he would take money from suckers..

Rochard

What Donny most likely doesn't understand is that there is a massive amount of evidence against him. I don't know this for a fact, but I am guessing every email, every text, and every website he ever viewed has come under scrutiny. Stuff that he has long since forgotten about will come out in court, and Donny will have no defense for it at all.

For example, one of the items mentioned in the news articles was that Donny had bought the girls "sexy lingerie". To the best of our knowledge, Donny hasn't had a love interest in years, which will lead the jury to believe he bought the lingerie for one of the girls - he bought lingerie for a teenage girl that was living with him? That might seem normal to Donny, but not in the eyes of a jury. Even less so after it's established that he worked in the porn industry.

I am also sure that every text Donny ever sent any of these girls will come up in court too.

Not defending Donny in any way but from my experience (someone who has represented himself successfully in 2 cases) judges do frown upon it because quite frankly they don't want to have to teach you during the case/trial. Otherwise there is no other reason. No attorney is going to be able do some of the things I did during mine because they are first and foremost working for the court and secondly you the client.

From the first question I had the officer on the stand fumbling. The judge got so mad at me when I called him out on one of his mistakes (something he does all the time that is technically illegal for him to do) which no attorney would dare to do he almost leaped off the fucking bench and came at me. I hired a very well seasoned high dollar attorney recently to represent me in another matter and from day one I told him he wasn't going to be able to do what he promised he would. End result, I was right, he was wrong. I knew the law better. Attorney's are just ordinary people "practicing" law. 99% of the time they are just playing mediators.

Donny however shouldn't be representing himself in such a serious matter. But, my guess is there's no way in hell a prosecutor is going to allow him to question the girls and that's very likely his angle..

kane

I have a feeling he will get a chance to question the girls on the stand. Recently in one of the articles posted her it said they were combining the three cases against him into one trial because they had similar evidence and witnesses and it could keep the girls from having to testify 3 times. That said, I don't think his cross examination of them is going to go nearly how he thinks it will.

Far-L

While I completely agree with what you are saying, do you mind sharing what you represented yourself in? I have represented myself at traffic court for example, but I would never do that for a criminal trial, even if I felt competent enough to manage the nuts and bolts of trial procedure and had a deep knowledge of the case law precedents.

I think Donny should plead "not guilty by reason of insanity". And I bet his defense plea will be so crazy as it will prove that he is right. ;)

onwebcam

They combined the trials, his attorney told him to plea because he's fucked and Donny fired him. That's the way that I see it went down. I don't give him credit enough to have planned anything. But that's probably his thinking now. And I'd bet if he does make it that far representing himself something will happen before they put those girls on a stand in front of him. Way too much could go wrong even outside of emotional and psychological breakdowns.

Both felony charges but nothing near as serious as what Donny is facing. In my cases after they saw what I did to the cop and the judge during preliminary they dragged it out nearly 2 years making offer after offer (that I kept shooting down) trying to keep from going to trial because they knew they couldn't control what I may or may not do in front of a jury. Also it's real easy to make up a story when you are talking to a third person but it's not so easy when you have to look directly at that person. I'm not saying that these girls are lying. I am saying that the cop was in my matter and why they couldn't let it go to trial.

Far-L

The crazy thing about Donny is he literally admitted to part of the charges during a jailhouse interview with a local television news reporter. I am predicting 20 to 25 year sentence.

A good clue that Donny won't make it very far representing himself and he has no fucking clue what he is doing is him trying to make motions in open court. The judge having to tell him those sorts of things won't last very long. At the very least they will appoint him some sort of advisory counsel.

VikingMan

Hey Donny where are all your Jesus friends? They were faker than your porn friends huh? At least the porn world is talking about you and sending you things in prison.

kane

Not only that but his story has changed. I remember reading in one place (might be his letters posted on here or in an interview) that he said that prison guard did ask him to have sex with his daughter while he watched and Donny said he turned him down. He also said he didn't turn him in because he thought he could help him through the church. Then later he was flat out denying that he was ever asked.

Pauling wins trial delay

Donny Pauling won his first motion representing himself Thursday when a Sutter County judge agreed to postpone his trial to give him more time to prepare.

Judge Susan E. Green pushed back the Sept. 29 trial date to Dec. 1.

Charged with 19 counts of unlawful sex acts against three teen girls, Pauling fired attorney Roberto Marquez last week and began to represent himself.

Pauling, who said he left the pornography business in 2006, said he needed additional time because he only has two hours a day to work in the jail's law library. His bail is $1,025,000.

"I still don't know what I don't know yet," he told Green.

Deputy District Attorney Anu Chopra objected to postponing the trial, called it a delaying tactic and argued the victims were ready to testify. Thirty-five witnesses would have to be resubpoenaed to appear.

"Tell me why if I don't grant the continuance and he's convicted, this won't be reversed on appeal," Green asked Chopra before granting the motion.

The possibility of a plea deal was also briefly discussed. Pauling rejected a seven-year prison deal. He would serve at least half of the time, Chopra said.

They plan to continue plea negotiations.

Pauling filed a list of witnesses he intends to call, and while describing what testimony or evidence those individuals would provide, he said many were religious leaders who could speak about his character and his behavior around teenage girls.

Pauling named a few witnesses he said would testify they heard an alleged victim threaten to accuse Pauling of the current charges.

He plans to call a psychologist, who would testify Pauling spoke with him in 2011 about an erectile dysfunction that would prevent Pauling from performing some of the acts he is accused of engaging in with underage girls, he said. Pauling is charged with statutory rape.

Here is the cliff notes from the latest development....

• Trial date pushed back to December 1st
• Thirty-five witnesses are going to testify
• The possibility of a plea deal was also briefly discussed.
• Pauling rejected a seven-year prison deal.
• They plan to continue plea negotiations.
• Donny has erectile dysfunction (not kidding, last paragraph)

In other news, looks like he has lost a lot of weight.

Donny will plea out and get a Christianized sentence and be out of jail in a year.

The end..

This story is so muddled with drugs, kids, sheriffs, God, etc.. they will just want it over. By offering 7 years, hes looking at 3.5 in jail, hes already done 1. So Id think he is close to taking a deal and being out in another year.

I just wonder how many people from GFY will be subpoenaed

It'll be a circus. Remember though, this isn't one case, this is multiple. Donny is a sociopath and has no problem speaking in public so he shouldn't do bad with cross examination

That's long enough to make him consider. Even with good behavior 85% of the term must be served.

Which is something that will be used to state he was impotent and not capable of the accused crimes.

Always an upside

pr0phet

Some of this stuff must have been in the prime time GFY scandal with the girl here. Was she living in the house at the time all this went down?

I can just see Donny witness list..

Donny: Id like to call Baddog to the stand..
Judge: Is that his full name?
Donny: Yes I believe so.

What a mess.. Govt wants this to go away cheaply.

I apologize for being an armchair lawyer, giving a knee jerk response. I think you are right.

Either way this is a mess, Donny sure has a way on being able to unintentionally entertain so much.

pr0phet

They offered him 50% off sentence already.. so thats 3.5 years served. Hes already done 1. This will plea out, its a mess to handle this. Im sure all the witnesses and sadly victims are drugged out Jesus freaks. And don't even get started on dragging the Sherrif stuff in front of a jury.
