Taken into custody yesterday, alleged female abuser from Hoopa makes $150,000 bail in less than 24 hours and family member tries to intimidate me

Kayla Brown already made the $150,000 bail and was in court today with her family and her private attorney Jeffrey Schwartz. Judge John Feeney said that while he did not have a copy in the court file, he had been informed that one had been filed.

"The OR/Bail hearing is moot," said Judge Feeney.

Kayla Brown walked in court with family members and a lady, I presume is her mother. Yesterday, they glared at the victim's family. Today, the lady I think is her mother showed yet again that she does not understand court rules and thinks "special rules" apply to her and her family. As I walked out after the court hearing, this woman came up to me, tried to question me and intimidate me. I told her to "step away from me" and leave me alone and walked away.

Yesterday, this lady kept walking up to Mr. Schwartz while court business was going on, she did the same when he was up with Brown during the court hearing today, interuppting court proceedings.

Perhaps, the Brown family thinks that because Kayla Brown is the reigning Miss Natinixwe (which means Miss Hoopa) that we are at the annual pageant, not a court of law. Brown is charged with some pretty serious crimes.

Kayla Brown is charged with four counts. Count 1 Abnormal Sexual Interest in Children and arranging a meeting for that purpose PC 288.4 (b); Count 2 Sexual penetration with a foreign object; [289.(i)  any person over the age of 21 years who participates in an act of sexual penetration with another person who is under 16 years of age shall be guilty of a felony]; Count 3 288.3 (a) [288.3.  (a) Every person who contacts or communicates with a minor, or attempts to contact or communicate with a minor, who knows or reasonably should know that the person is a minor, with intent to commit an offense specified in Section 207, 209, 261, 264.1, 273a, 286, 288, 288a, 288.2, 289, 311.1, 311.2, 311.4 or 311.11 involving the minor shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for the term prescribed for an attempt to commit the intended offense] and Count 4 PC 647.6 (a) which is child molestation/annoying a child.

DDA Brie Bennett who is prosecuting the case talked with Mr. Schwartz briefly before the case was called. She gave him discovery, except copies of the CAST tapes which she said she would provide to him. Mr. Schwartz stepped out and spoke with the defendant's family for a few minutes. DDA Bennett took that opportunity to talk privately to the victim's family seated behind me. The only thing I heard of that conversation was that they were surprised and concerned that Brown was out of custody.

When the case was called, Mr. Schwartz told Judge Feeney that his client would enter a general time waiver. That he had talked to the prosecution and that he did not have CAST tapes and he needed to look at his client's medical schedule and was requesting another trial setting date. Dates for a preliminary hearing had already been set yesterday.

DDA Bennett said that the People also waived time but she asked for the trial setting date to be set within a "relatively short time." She said the victim's
family members were present and that this situation had a lot of impact on the victim and her family.

The April 8 intervention and April 13 preliminary dates were vacated and a disposition and reset hearing is scheduled for April 15 at 2 p.m.
