Man accused in killing of Tucson girls pleads not guilty
When I first looked at the photo taken of Clement’s during his arraignment, I only saw his black eye because the media report said “Clements, dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, showed little emotion during the short hearing and appeared to have a black eye” and “Last week Clements was in a fight at the Maricopa County jail” so I assumed he only took a few shots to his head and he wasn’t actually beaten like one of the men who was involved said; but when I looked at his arms, I saw marks on both, so perhaps his clothing is covering more. I don’t think they’re tattoos. His checks are bruised but his eyes aren’t swollen shut and I don’t see any cuts on his face or head. No broken jaw or missing teeth. Throat wasn't slit, yet. Looks like there was no response from the Judge on this incident.
I wonder if the guards stopped the boys from seriously harming Clements because his next court appearance was right around the corner and they wanted him to be able to stand up and face the Judge? Maybe they’re keeping Clements with the general population so Clements won’t kill himself? This is the first time Clements has been incarcerated for murdering two underage girls. I wonder if he is considering suicide?
I didn’t find Clements listed as a Registered Sex Offender on the two databases I searched but I’ll try again in my spare time.
Is his Defense Team Court appointed?
