Thirty-five years ago, three men in their 20s kidnapped a bus full of schoolchildren in the Central Valley town of Chowchilla (Madera County), stuffed them and their driver into a makeshift underground dungeon and demanded a $5 million ransom. The 27 prisoners dug their way to freedom after 16 hours, the abductors were nabbed and given life terms in prison, and the victims all tried to get on with their lives. Now, to the victims' dismay, some of the very people who put the kidnappers behind bars are pushing to let the convicts get on with their lives, too - outside of prison.

Dubose is in the Madera County Jail on a $600,000 bail. Chowchilla Police arrested him at his home, but the crimes he's accused of happened years ago.
Dubose is a former mayor of Chowchilla and he's owned a car dealership and other buisnesses, including real estate buisnesses. Some of those business dealings landed him in civil court and his attorney says he did pay out some settlements after being sued for fraud.
Charles McGill says the city dug up those old issues to go after dubose, beacuse of a personal problem between him and his brother in law, who is a city council member. "So we've got an inner family battle, with the politics of a little city, using the politics of the county, to use the political power of the courts to prosecute somebody over a business deal."
McGill said his client would get out of jail the next day. He hasn't been able to make bail over the last two days, but McGill expects it to be reduced.
Dubose is expected to arraigned at the Madera County Courthouse Tuesday morning.

- My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what was missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood. The '80s were about acquiring -- acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth, power, and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldn't I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldn't I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime. I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul.
- Former Board Member (1989), Center for Democracy
