This afternoon Silverio Sanchez was scheduled for a court hearing at 2 p.m. in Courtroom 4. Same name but not the guy undone by the canine. Same family, same name even the middle and they are cousins.
Sanchez #2 has been in jail for 10 days. There is one case with a criminal protective order; it is a felony with the charge being assault with a deadly weapon other than firearm. That case was scheduled for Intervention today and result was from a complaint filed on April 25, 2014.
The other case was on for Pre Trial conference for a misdemeanor traffic case. Charge was showing false ID to a police officer.
Prosecutor for the cases is Zach Curtis. Mr. Curtis is very professional and always provides feedback to the court and so it is very helpful and informative to cover his cases.
The atmosphere today in the Courtroom was more peaceful. In addition to Mr. Curtis, there was Jonathan McCrone from the Public Defender's office and David Lee from Conflict Counsel. Both have such compassion for their clients and you can tell their experience from their calm demeanor. Sometimes the courtroom becomes more about the attorney's personalities than the clients. Today Courtroom 4 had three lawyers that focused on their job, their clients and not themselves.
Mr. Lee represents Sanchez #2. When Judge Reinholtsen called the cases, Mr. Lee informed the court that there had been a resolution in the case with the felony charge and protective order. Mr. Lee said the People are amending the felony charge of assault to a misdemeanor, penal Code 242, battery. "Mr. Sanchez will plead guilty," he said. The other case was being dismissed.
"The reason for the reduction is because I spoke to the victim," said Mr. Curtis. "She told me what happened. The police report got garbled somehow. There was no misconduct."
Before sentencing, Mr. Lee addressed the Court. He said the People are not seeking additional jail time but they want an alcohol and drug assessement. Mr. Lee also told the Court that the victim wanted the stay away order to be amended to allow peaceful contact with the complaining witness.
Then Mr. Curtis made a motion about the other case being dismissed in the interest of justice. Judge Reinholtsen granted that motion.
Cases have resolutions and then a related case is dismissed. Thanks to Mr. Curtis, we know why.
Since Sanchez #2 had credit for the amount of jail time he was sentenced to, he was released today. He is on conditional revocable release. He has a review date in four weeks for his alcohol and drug assessment.
While he waited for his case to be called, while he talked to his attorney and throughout the proceedings; Silverio Sanchez #2 was very polite and he thanked Judge Reinholtsen after his sentence.
