Benefit set for student allegedly attacked by former teacher

It is amazing how when you give up on the human race, something like this incident with Ashley turns things around. It reminded me that there are still great people out there. I do appreciate and thank every single one of them for their generousity and prayers.

No one knows what had happen. We convicted this Shelton guy in the media. How can he get a fair trail? Maybe Ashley started this and insulted him. We do not know what had happen. Maybe she started it.

Dude...Jimmie boy! This shelton guy is trash...pure and simple! Convicted in the media....same as a jury of peers.
He intended to kill, attempted to, and left her for dead.
Life wihout parole!

OMFG!!! you are so stupid .... NO ONE and I mean NO ONE desereves what that friggin physcio did to that girl ... "maybe she started it" how damn stupid are you ... Shelton was the so called "adult" and no matter what it should have never happened ... I knew Shelton ... and not Ashely ... and I know she didnt deserve this

May Shelton get all he deserves and then some

RobbieAnn

Robin, You do not know what really happen that night. How can you be the judge, jury and executioner? Without knowing all the facts, in your own mind you stated that he is guilty without a trail. You call me stupid? Look in the mirror.

Who made you the judge, jury and executioner? He stated in the paper that he was not guilty. You convicted him without a fair trial. You are a liar.

Jim you say the same thing over and over. You don't even have a decent point to make. I am starting to think you are some grade school kid that is just trying to get a rise outta people, your mommy should take your computer away.

That is right. I do say the same things over and over. The reason why is because when I challenge their arguments about having a free trial, these people dodge my questions and start asking another question or slandering me. They cannot defend that phrase.

The phrase is fine....I also believe in the right to a free trial. But the comment you have made about her deserving what was done to her is sick. Those are perfect reasons to slander you. You say you know so many things about the case....ashley....blah blah blah...I personally don't give a shit...that has nothing to do with free trial. You also say that "teacher" is shoving her/his beliefs on to others, what are you trying to do? You don't make educated statements...you don't express yourself without dogging other people...you just try to start shit. Which makes me want to ask what everybody is wondering... Do you have a personal tie to Sam Shelton(are you him?) and is that why you defend him in such a idiot way or are you just that F@#KED in the head?

Its been a long time since anything was said or written bout Ashley Reeves and the CREEP Sam Shelton... lets hope justice comes out of all this ASAP

Jim proably is just as sick as shelton after all pedophiles and murderers look at the other side because they are on it. after all when you are that sick you have to blame the other people or you might be held responsible. Heaven forbid someone be held responsible for their own actions. after all, we all know it's "someone else's fault."

Sam Shelton pleaded guilty this afternoon to the attempted first-degree murder of Ashley Reeves. Circuit Court Judge Milton Wharton gave Shelton a 20-year sentence, with credit for the 53 days he has served, reports Chris Pilcic of the 550 KTRS-AM newsroom. With good behavior, Shelton will be eligible for parole in 17 years.
Shelton, 27, was originally charged with attempted murder and kidnapping following the April 2006 attack on Reeves, then 17, in which he fought with her and left her for dead in a Belleville park. He confessed to sheriff’s deputies that they’d had a relationship and during a physical altercation he heard her neck snap and thought she was dead. He said he then drove her to a remote area of Citizens Park, put a belt around her neck, and attempted to strangle her three more times before covering her with dense brush. He led deputies to her body more than a day later. A grand jury indicted him on the single charge of first-degree attempted murder.
Reeves spent more than a month in a hospital and rehabilitation facility, and she continues to recover at home. She graduated last month from Columbia High School with her fellow classmates.
When addressed today by Wharton, Shelton provided only “yes” and “no” responses.
“Shelton had no comment when offered the chance to apologize for his actions,” said Pilcic.
Following the sentencing, Reeves’ parents said they are happy with the 20 years Shelton may spend behind bars. Ashley said she is glad to have the situation behind her and is looking forwarded to attending college. While her speech, movements and walking are much-improved, she continues to go to therapy sessions two days a week.
Shelton’s mother, Susan, with whom he’d been living with for much of the past year on house arrest awaiting his trial, was not happy with the plea.
“I realize my son made a mistake, but he should have gotten aggravated battery and obstruction of justice, not attempted murder. That is what I believe he is guilty of,” said Susan Shelton.
St. Clair Country State’s Attorney Bob Haida said he will continue to prosecute the six counts of aggravated battery charges against Shelton stemming from a struggle with police, ambulance and hospital personnel after a suicide attempt earlier this spring. His house arrest was revoked following that incident and he has been at the St. Clair County Jail since early May. The battery charges could result in an additional 30 year sentence, which Haida said would be served consecutive to the 20-year sentence he received today.

Shelton's mom:

You are an idiot he did attempt to kill her, he admitted it. Good thing what you "think" he is guilty of doesn't matter.
