To: <dschied@yahoo.com> .
David,
John Golfis plead guilty (no contest ... same thing) to 8 criminal
charges yesterday. In many ways I think even you will be happy with the
terms. While no sentence can undue all of the harm Golfis h~s done, the
terms of the agreement should stop him from such conduct in the future.
He plead to all five counts of Grand theft as felonies, one count of
insufficient funds and two sex offenses .. PC 220 Assault with Intent to
Commit Rape.
1.He gets 5 years prison.
Upon release he will be on parole for 3-5 years and subject to the
rules of the parole officer. If he violates, he must go to prison for up to
one year for each violation.
2. He will be ordered to pay restitution to all named victims in full
plus 10% a year since the crime was committed •.. more on this later.
3. The two sex offenses are serious/violent felonies which make him a
third striker. If he is convicted of any felony in the future he could
face life in prison. This is true in California ~d many ot.~er
jurisdictions.
4. He will be required to give blood and saliva samples for inclusion
in the Deparment of Justices DNA data base for sex offenders. He also
must give palm and finger prints.
5. Registered Sex Offender for Life. He will be required to register as
a sex offender for the rest of his life in California. If he lives here
or visits, he must notify law enforcement of his whereabouts withing 5
days of entry, or moving. I f he leaves the state he must notify us of
his out of state address. Most states have similar provisions •.. but I
can't say what they are in the state he'll go to.
Restitution: Here's the restitution story. He is making efforts to come
up with full restitution ... which is a priority for all of us. If he
does, his sentence can be modified by the judge to be 3 years prison with
"lll other !:PrTlS ':~e s.Jmc. If:-:e dijt!sr.'l h<? ':lets 5 l~dL:i dU.J UI'"
restitution order h~s the effect of a civil judgement ... ie just like you sued
him and won. If you ever find assets you can pursue him civilly. I

prefer getting the cash up front in full plus interest. He has 6 months to
do this.
The sentencing is set for July. If you'~ant to be there, I'll
let you know the date and time.
