“The statements made in the PSI are indicative of a history of Mr. Childs’ unwillingness to accept responsibility… Mr. Childs is an adult who can make decisions on his own. The fact that he was saying he’s being influenced by family members which prevented him from coming up (to court) shows absolute disrespect to the court process.”
