Dan Dobbs's jury trial in which he is charged with assault starts today

Of his many cases and charges against him, this is one that actually went to trial. Jury selection going on right now.

This is from a case in 2013.

DDA Brie Bennett prosecuting, Neal Sanders is representing Dobbs and Judge Timothy Cissna is the trial judge.

People in Sohum need no introduction to Dobbs. He was most recently arrested as a suspect in tbe Sohum maximum enforcement bust.

Previously, he was arrested when he wandered into the Gingerbread mansion and helped himself to a room and wine.

The general category is assault. I just spoke with DDA Bennett and the actual charges are PC 422.

Under California Penal Codesection 422, if you willfully communicate a threat to another person that would result in great bodily injury or death, you can be prosecuted for making what is known as a “criminal threat.”

Dobbs just came up to me a and said, " you need to keep up with me. I am in trial." I told him I had already posted.
