August 25 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Monthly speakers series by the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences presents Creighton “Creight” Horton, at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25 in the Yachats Commons. Horton will speak about his 30 years of experiences as a prosecutor in the Salt Lake City District Attorney’s Office and the Utah State Attorney General’s Office. He prosecuted a number of high-profile cases, some of which are still in the public eye today.
Near the end of this career, he became actively involved in the innocence movement, promoting innocence reforms and training police and prosecutors on how to prevent wrongful convictions. Much of his presentation will focus on this aspect of his career.
His experiences are highlighted in the book, “A Reluctant Prosecutor: My Journey.” After retiring he moved to Yachats, trading in his law license for a guitar. He now plays music around town with his buddy Dave, and with his daughters Kaely and Eyrie.
Admission is by a suggested donation of $5. Please note the 6:30 pm starting time! YAAS is supported by Polly Plumb Productions, a Yachats non- profit. For more information please visit pollyplumb.org. and yachatsacademy.org
