DA's Press-Release(just in):

Guilty as charged was the jury verdict announced today in Humboldt Superior Court in the case of the People versus Kristina Babauta. After an 8-day trial before Judge Marilyn Miles, Babauta, 31 of Redway, was convicted of driving under the influence, refusing a chemical test and storing an open container. Because the allegation of a prior DUI conviction was also found true, the defendant was sentenced to serve 20 days in jail and fined more than $3000.   The case arose from an April 2013 vehicle stop by the California Highway Patrol on Highway 101 near Richardson Grove.   The case was prosecuted by Deputy D.A. Trenton Timm and defended by Attorney Manny Daskal.
