Affidavit: Woman in Boulder weapons trial tried to bribe juror
Darine Chely, who didn't show up for closing arguments Thursday morning, allegedly offered $5k for not guilty verdict
By John Aguilar, Daily Camera Staff Writer - 04/22/2010
A Boulder woman on trial this week for allegedly firing a bullet from her home into her next-door neighbor's house offered a juror $5,000 to find her not guilty of a weapons charge, according to an arrest affidavit released Thursday.
Darine Chely, who has been on trial in Boulder District Court for the last two days on a felony charge of being in possession of a weapon by a previous offender, placed a note underneath a notebook belonging to an alternate juror during a recess Wednesday, the affidavit states.
"Eric, please don't find me guilty. I will pay $5,000. I am very frightened. Please don't give this to anyone," Chely allegedly wrote.
The juror, identified in the arrest affidavit as Eric Acord, brought the note to the attention of Boulder District Judge James Klein and was dismissed from the panel.
Chely, who was free on $10,000 bond, failed to appear for closing arguments Thursday morning. She remained at large as of presstime.
She now faces three new felony charges -- bribery, bribing a juror and jury tampering. A new bond of $75,000 was set once she is arrested.

Kent County judge blasts Norton Shores man accused of bilking process service clients
By Heather Lynn Peters | Muskegon Chronicle
February 26, 2010
MUSKEGON -- A judge blasted a longtime Muskegon County process server Thursday for bilking nearly 200 clients out of money over a six-month period.
Robert A. Ostrander Jr. broke into a locked door as part of a court order to seize the property of the Muskegon CBA team, the Michigan Mayhem, at the L.C. Walker Arena Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Ostrander works as part of Ostrander Legal Services LLC.Robert Ostrander, 62, of 6117 Ridgeview, Norton Shores, was sentenced by Kent County Chief 63rd District Judge Sara Smolenski on one count of false pretenses over $200 but less than $1,000, a one-year misdemeanor.
The charge stems from incidents that occurred in 2008. The case was handled by the Kent County Prosecutor's Office and assigned to a Kent County judge because the Muskegon County 60th District Court had used Ostrander's services.
Ostrander, represented by attorney Shawn Davis, was ordered to pay a total of $3,875.66 in restitution and court fines and costs. Of that, $1,275 was what prosecutors say he overcharged 174 individuals and agencies who hired him over that six months.
