The court hearing to determine if Lawtis Rhoden, a sexually violent predator, should be located to Twentynine Palms has been delayed a month. The hearing was originally scheduled for Friday, April 16; the new date is Friday, May 21. In March, the Orange County Superior Court tentatively ordered convicted child rapist and violent sexual predator Rhoden, 71, to be released into a residential neighborhood in Twentynine Palms, despite having no ties to the City of Twentynine Palms or the Morongo Basin area. Residents are encouraged to write emails or letters to protest the proposed move of Rhoden to the Morongo Basin.
