There were supposed to be oral arguments in the Jason Warren case today. Defense filed a motion to dismiss certain counts. Judge John Feeney presiding in Courtroom 1, Kevin Robinson representing Jason Warren and District Attorney Paul Gallegos is prosecuting the case.
Today oral arguments were supposed to be heard on a 995 Motion. A California Penal Code 995 motion is a request for the judge to dismiss one or more counts of the complaint. A motion to dismiss can be filed after a preliminary hearing on a felony case.
The defense was requesting that counts 2, 3 and 4 be dismissed. Mr. Gallegos asked the court to review all exhibits in the case before the 995 hearing and making a decision. Judge Feeney agreed and granted Mr. Gallegos' request. The defense and Warren submitted on the continuance.
The oral arguments will be heard on March 27 at 3 p.m.
Another high-profile case, David Anderson with Luke Brownfield for the People and Ben McLaughlin for the defense. Anderson was arraigned on complaints filed on March 11, 2104. This case was re-filed.
There were special allegations of kidnapping enhancements added to the charges and sexual intercourse with a minor victim over the age of 14. Pleas of not guilty were entered. Pre Trial Conference on April 16, Trial Confirmation on April 30 and a jury trial date was also scheduled.
OR bail hearings were held for both Miller and Arriaga, and Judge Feeney denied both OR bail and supervisory release for both citing public safety concerns with Mr. Brownfield objecting due to the serious nature of charges. Miller's request to lower bail was also denied.
Judge Feeney is my favorite judge and if you have jury duty, you want him to be the presiding judge. I have been a juror on a high profile case with Judge Feeney. On a daily basis, he is very kind and polite to counsel, staff, jurors and even defendants.
Courtroom 1 was the happening courtroom to be in today with Paul Gallegos, Patrik Griego, Ben McLaughlin, Allan Dollison, Glenn Brown and few others all in the same afternoon. Sort of a star-studded attorney line-up. The Littlefield case was also on calendar today, which is being prosecuted by Mr. Gallegos.
What was the hearing in the Littlefield case for, and what was its disposition? He was convicted more than six months ago, is sentencing going to happen anytime soon? Your blog is the only place with regular HumCo court information, so thanks for the efforts!
