A preliminary hearing for Jason Scott Daniels was delayed basically due to courtroom unavailability. Other cases in which time has not been waived are a priority. With 9 cases on for preliminary hearings in which time has not been waived, other jury trials waiting to be scheduled and with three jury trials going on right, 4 courtrooms doesn't cut it. Even the back up civil courtroom is not enough.
The new date is March 24 at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom to be determined closer to that date.
This is the case not just for Daniels but a regular issue in Humboldt. Too many cases, not enough courtrooms, cases not being resolved.
Mr. Andrew Isaac is handling this case for the People. Out of area attorneys Julia Fox and Steven Betts are representing Daniels.
Daniels is charged with three felony counts: Count 1 penetration by a foreign object and Counts 2 and 3 sexual battery. The incidents allegedly occurred when he was on duty.
He is out of custody. Daniels' wife was with him in court today.
