Hoopa victim Daniel Colegrove's nephew given a two day pass from Humboldt County jail to attend his burial despite objections from DA and County Counsel

Despite "being hesitant" and objections from the District Attorney's Office and County Counsel representing the Humboldt County Jail, Judge John Feeney granted a two  day pass to Daniel Colegrove's nephew to attend his burial. The nature of his conviction and that he recently was found in possession of contraband in the jail were two objections stated in court, in addition to the written objections.

Public Defender Heidi Holmquist who represents Carlisle Colegrove told Judge Feeney that while he was serving a sentence in jail, Daniel Colegrove was like a father to Carlisle Colegrove.
