On June 29, 2015, in the case of the People of the State of California v. Phoenix Campbell-Loya, the jury found the defendant guilty of felony assault with a deadly weapon and felony carrying a concealed dirk or dagger.
The case was prosecuted by DDA Roger Rees and Campbell's attorney was Ms. Meagan O'Connell from the Public Defender's office.
The first link has all the background of the case, including the DA's press release. I was the only one to cover this case daily and the links on this case are below.
Today, Ms.O'Connell requested that the sentencing be continued. When she met with Campbell-Loya, she had still not received the probation report and requested time to meet with him. The sentencing will take place August 17.
The victims were not present in court. Campbell-Loya's mother who attended the trial was in court along with his dad, aunt and grandmother to show their support.
As difficult as it has been for Campbell-Loya's mother to be in court, she exemplifies grace and courtesy, especially towards media coverage of this trial and I want to publicly thank her for being such a lady.
