Today in Courtroom 1 with Judge John Feeney presiding, Eddie Lee's felony case for homicide with co-defendant Limmie Greg Curry is scheduled for a pre-trial conference.
Charges for Lee are murder, robbery/rape, possession of marijuana and involvement of a firearm.
Background information from previous court coverage on this case:
Eddie Lee is a co-defendant with Limmie Greg Curry in a retrial of a murder case. Representing Lee is Darryl Stallworth from the Bay Area, with special appearances by local attorney Kathleen Bryson. Curry is being represented by Mr. Fletcher. Case is being prosecuted by the people, again, by District Attorney Paul Gallegos. Judge John Feeney presiding.
On February 5, Lee and Curry's cases were joined together for trial. Paul pointed out that this is the third time Curry's attorney Fletcher has failed to appear, either by phone or in person, causing delays. Niether Paul or Darryl Stallworth have heard from Fletcher. Judge Feeney said he had not received anything from Fletcher saying he was withdrawing from Curry's case.
Judge John Feeney asked Curry if Curry would like the court to appoint counsel. Curry declined. He still wants Fletcher. Paul said that "these delays are very unfair to the victims and their families."
Judge Feeney agreed, he said if Fletcher does not appear at the next court date which is pre-trial on April 4, at least by phone, that the Court will sanction Fletcher and appoint Curry counsel. Trial Confirmation is at 2 PM on July 14 and Trial is scheduled for July 28.
On July 14, if there is no plea or motion to continue, the Court will set a trial readiness conference and trial assignment dates. Trial assignment is usually Friday before the jury trial.
