"A tub and a duffel bag full of 11 pounds of marijuana bud packaged in one pound turkey bags"

A digital scale, a gun, a pistol, surveilance system, a tupperware container of "crystal meth" and "a tub and duffel bag full of 11 pounds of marijuana bud packaged in one pound turkey bags" were found when law enforcement searched Judson Stiglich's house, after they answered a "shots fired" call and discovered the dead body of Ryan Robinson in Stiglich's driveway.

The gun that was used in the shooting by Stiglich and tossed on Cutten school grounds was determined to be stolen from Fortuna and the owner was contacted by law enforcement. An empty shell casing matching that gun was found in Stiglich's garage.

Deputy Coroner Trevor Enright told HCSO Investigator Greg Musson that  Ryan Robinson had suffered a gun-shot wound to the chest and that his "death was caused by a single gun-shot wound to the chest." A toxicology report showed that Ryan Robinson had a very high level of alcohol in his blood. The legal limit is .08 and Ryan Robinson's blood alcohol level was .20.

Mr. Russ Clanton who is Stiglich's attorney cross-examined Investigator Musson after he had just given detailed answers to DDA Stacey Eads about when law enforcement was notified, the chain of events leading to the discovery of Robinson's body and securing of the crime scene as well as collection of evidence.

Jennifer Robinson, victim's sister and Stiglich's girlfriend at the time of the incident, continued her emotional testimony today and was followed by Ryan Robinson's mother, Margaret Robinson testifying. Investigator Musson was the last witness to testify before both attorneys presented their closing arguments and Judge John Feeney held Stiglich to answer on all charges.

Mr. Clanton was able to get Investigator Musson to acknowledge that in his report, Investigator Musson did not report that either Jennifer or Margaret Robinson mentioned or described a shoving match between Stiglich and Ryan Robinson. Mr. Clanton was also able to raise questions about Ryan Robinson's blood alcohol level and that he could have had a weapon concealed in "the Woodland type" camo he was wearing the night he went over to Stiglich's house.

In Jennifer Robinson's testimony, she never mentioned a folding knife or a 9 mm bullet found in Ryan Robinson's car. Mr. Clanton brought up Ryan Robinson's facebook page where he was pictured with weapons including an assault rifle. This raised some credibility issues because about Jennifer Robinson testifying she had no knowledge of her brother having any weapons, especially the night he was shot.

Mr. Clanton made a case for self-defense in his closing argument and while Judge Feeney acknowledged that could be a possible defense, his ruling was based on information provided for the preliminary hearing. Both DDA Eads and Mr. Clanton made strong closing arguments.
