Jeremy Kish, appeared in court, still dressed in red, with his mouth covered, to be arraigned on yet another case. This one is a felony, sex offense about an incident allegedly "on or about May 22, 2015." The day before he was arrested for arson in Arcata at the former Alliance Market location.
If you read my first link, it mentions some of the charges and cases in Kish's lengthy record.
Last time in court, he was claiming "he was denied food and water", this time he tried to fire his court appointed lawyer, Conflict Counsel's Mr. Greg Elvine-Kreis.
I had just walked in from an arraignment in another courtroom as Kish's arraignment was going on and he was asking Judge Marilyn Miles if he could go "pro per." Mr. Elvine-Kreis was trying to talk to Kish and help him. Judge Miles said Kish had the right to represent himself. She did advise Kish, "It is not good to represent yourself on such serious charges." But Kish insisted. "Can I represent myself on all my cases?"
Kish said, he "would rather talk" than his lawyer and Judge Miles told him, "that you don't get to talk about just anything." Judge Miles told him he needed to fill out paperwork.
Kish kept interrupting everyone throughout the court hearing and had to be cautioned several times by Judge Miles not to interrupt other people. What was the issue that he felt was "ineffective counsel"? He was not satisfied where his dog was, nor did he believe the Deputy District Attorney.
The nerve of Mr. Elvine-Kreis to focus on the serious charges against him and tried to give him proper legal representation.
While Kish was being his usual dramatic self, I decided to miss a minute of this crucial debate and I stepped out briefly to update the Jarnaghan post and when I returned, Kish still had his lawyer. DDA Jackie Pizzo was telling Judge Miles that "the People did not have the dog and he was not in police custody." His attorney said that the dog was at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. A pet order was entered that "this dog not be destroyed" by Judge Miles.
"We are trying to do everything we can about the dog," Mr. Elvine-Kreis told Kish. "Can you focus on everything else?"
Kish was served with a protective order in court against a male confidential victim. The charges are Sodomy by use of force and Forcible oral copulation.
Dates for this case are the same as the arson case.
