Guilty 2nd degree murder Arcata and attempted murder in Eureka in Bodhi Tree case

Bodhi Tree threw a temper tantrum in court as he was cuffed to be taken back into custody. "This is bullshit. Saying I did something I didn't."

 This is after the jury walked out but in an open courtroom in front of everyone else. This was similar to the outburst by Bodhi Tree that three inmates testified to in court. Ms. Holmquist had to get him calm but it took a minute.

This was an unanimous verdict. The judge thanked the jury. Sentencing will occur later. Tree can ask for a new trial. The defense investigator Ms. Truitt made a beeline for the jurors  right after the verdict had been read.

Tree yelled in court he wanted to appeal the decision.

Only Times Standard and myself were in the courtroom. Paul Mann from the Mad River Union arrived as the jury was exiting the building.
