" Paul suffered horrendous persecution promised by a powerful Utah political machine determined to make him "go away". He has lost millions in the battle. He had no money left for effective legal representation. He was set up and framed for securities fraud. Paul Pantone's major "victim" in the securities fraud case has been under investigation by the IRS for illegal offshore tax shelter activity involving over a million dollars.
Paul was also betrayed by a spouse with a secret history of drug abuse the state may have used as leverage to have her get Paul arrested for violating a non existent protective order after giving false testimony and committing numerous acts of perjury against Paul in open court.

His lawyer, Gil Athay, negated his duty to inform Paul in a proper and timely manner, about an important court hearing Paul needed to attend in July 2005. Paul didn't find out abut that hearing until several days after it was too late. Athay's neglect damaged Paul's reputation to the court. A warrant was issued for Paul's arrest.

After becoming financially destitute from years of legal battles, unable to pay what his lawyer demanded, and after threats were made to prosecute Paul's wife for substance abuse issues, Pantone reluctantly accepted a plea bargain agreement under duress in October 2004. When Paul revealed to the court that he had accepted this plea bargain under duress a year later, the judge shelved the agreement. The wheels of injustice were rolling.

In December 2005, Judge Royal Hansen sentenced Paul to 120 days in the county jail. Then this Alice in Wonderland Utah judge declared that Paul doesn't get along with his lawyers therefore he is not competent to receive sentencing (even though he was serving his sentence) and would be detained indefinitely under Utah Code 77-15-5(4-5) at the Utah State Mental Hospital.

Under this law, when you no longer trust you attorney and you become reluctant to work with him, you can be said to have a delusional or paranoid mental disorder and you can be put away. Your attorney can encourage the court do this to you, especially if he suspects he was about to be prosecuted for overbilling by his client (Paul Pantone). The court need not consider how much trust your attorney really deserves. Judge Royal Hansen refused to recognize that Paul's old lawyers betrayed him.

Pantone was double booked. He served his 120 day sentence in the county jail. Then he was railroaded by the court to the Mental hospital at Provo where he is being held indefinitely. Significant evidence showing Pantone is sane has not been allowed in court. To date, Pantone has already served his sentence over nine times.
In July 2006, GEET users from all over the nation appeared at a hearing in Judge Hansen's court as grass roots evidence that Paul's GEET technology to run an engine or generator on mostly water - was real and not a delusion (as had been alleged by a corrupt court psychologist unqualified to make such assertions)."
