Judson Stiglich who is charged with voluntary manslaughter, unlawful firearm activity, marijuana possession, allowing a place for preparing or storing a controlled substance, possession of marijuana for sale and receiving stolen property. Stiglich had a preliminary hearing scheduled for January 26. DDA Stacey Eads was present in Courtroom 4 for the People. Stiglich's family has hired private attorney David Celli. Today there was no resolution in an intervention hearing.

Mr. Celli made an oral motion to continue the preliminary hearing which was not opposed by the People. Mr. Celli said that there was "a large volume of discovery he did not have and he did not have the police report." Stiglich who had previously not waived time; entered a general time waiver today so that the preliminary hearing could be continued. Judge Timothy Cissna granted the defense motion.

Ms. Eads said that the DA's office did not have the discovery either, expected some of it today.

Family members family were present in the courtroom. Not sure if they were Stiglich's family members or the victim's family but after today's hearing, some were sobbing outside the courtroom.

An OR Bail hearing and Disposition/Reset hearing has been scheduled for January 29. This is not Stiglich's first brush with the law.
