Judge Miles grants DA's PC 1275.1 motion in Kailan Meserve case, Russ Clanton joins as co counsel for Meserve

A PC 1275.1 hearing was scheduled this morning for Kailan Meserve, son of former City council member Dave Meserve in Courtroom 2. Judge Marilyn Miles denied bail reduction at the last court hearing.

Meserve is being represented by San Francisco attorney Randolph Darr. DDA Brie Bennett is prosecuting the case.

The DA's office filed the motion for bail to be paid and for it to meet the conditions of PC 1275.1.

Judge Miles granted the DA's motion.

I was able to attend the court hearing only briefly to hear that Mr. Russ Clanton appeared "generally" today for Meserve but ge told Judge Miles he will be co counsel.

Before hearing proceeded Judge Miles asked Mr. Clanton if he wanted to exercise the right under PC 1275.1f to have a closed courtroom hearing. He did.

I looked up the outcome on the computer after the hearing.

1275.1.  (a) Bail, pursuant to this chapter, shall not be accepted
unless a judge or magistrate finds that no portion of the
consideration, pledge, security, deposit, or indemnification paid,
given, made, or promised for its execution was feloniously obtained
