While preliminary hearing for Ortiz's is going on, verdict comes in for a case with DDA Jackie Pizzo and Public Defender Casey Russo

So, we had to take a court break from the Ortiz preliminary hearing in Courtroom 2. The case was People v Christian John Kay and was held in Courtroom 4. It has been going on for a while and the jury did take time to deliberate. This was going on at the same time as the Juan Ferrer jury trial among other cases so I did not cover it.

It was a partial win for the DA's office a partial win for Mr. Casey Russo and his client. The jury convicted Kay on two lesser charges of assault and shooting  a BB gun in a negligent manner but voted not guilty on assault and battery charges. The defendant sighed in relief after the verdict was recorded and one of the women in court sobbed.

This was the case with pellet shooting near Eureka high.
