Mr. Miller. It was Federal court. And what happened there? 

 You put on your case; you were represented with an attorney or 

 without an attorney? 



Mr. Clemons. Without an attorney; I defended myself. I came to 

 the courthouse; the session took place; he asked me if I had seen 

 any of the evidence; I said no, I had not. So, he gave me a brief 

 moment to talk with the prosecuting attorney about some of the 

 evidence that was going to be presented. We stepped out in the 

 hall, talked about it. She told me if I paid my fine, I would not be 

 admitting guilt. She went over the rules and regulations about 

 $5,000, 6 months in prison. I said too bad; I am going to fight it. 



Mr. Miller. But you put your case on, and then, who rep- 

 resented the other side? 



Mr. Clemons. A U.S. prosecuting attorney. I am not sure 



Mr. Miller. A U.S. attorney put the case on. I was not there; 

 so, that is why I am asking the question. 



Mr. Clemons. I do not know what her name was, but she was 

 a U.S. attorney. 



Mr. Miller. And they put on their evidence. 



Mr. Clemons. Yes, they did. 



Mr. Miller. And then, the finding was that you were in an adja- 

 cent field; is that correct? 



Mr. Clemons. Correct, approximately 100 feet away. 



Mr. Miller. Was there any finding as to whether or not the 

 other field — what I guess is being referred to as the Sanchez prop- 

 erty — was baited or not baited? 



Mr. Clemons. They presented evidence by the means of photo- 

 graphs that were blown up probably 11 by 



Mr. Miller. Right; and did the court make a determination on 

 that? 



Mr. Clemons. No; that was not the intent of the trial. 



Mr. Miller. The intent of the trial was whether or not you 

 were 



Mr. Clemons. I was guilty of hunting on or over a baited field. 



Mr. Miller. And that determination was not, and you were not 

 on the Sanchez property. 



Mr. Clemons. Correct. 



Mr. Miller. OK. 



Sheriff, first of all, what capacity are you all here in? Are you 

 here in your capacity as sheriff, or are you here as a private citi- 

 zen? 



Mr. Oelrich. No, no, I am here as a private citizen. 



Mr. Miller. And the gentleman from the University of Florida 

 and from Florida Light and Power? 



Mr. BOE. I am not an employee of the University of Florida; I am 

 an employee of Pro Image in Gainesville, Florida, who primarily 

 works with Federal clients with contaminated properties helping 

 them 



Mr. Miller. But are you here in that capacity? 



Mr. BoE. I am here in the capacity of the advisor to the frater- 

 nity 



Mr. Miller. OK. 



Mr. BOE. [continuing] — where we had a large number of boys re- 

 ceive citations who should not have received citations.
