A preliminary hearing was held for James Cunha and Rebecca Hamline, starting Thursday,concluded today on Friday. According to Mr. Allan Dollison, who was appointed to represent Hamline, "there were two counts. As to Count 1, the Court reduced a possession of stolen property, to wit a cell phone, to a misdemeanor. The complaint failed to allege and the people failed to prove a value over $950. As to Count 2, identity theft, the court held both to answer. The Court commented at this stage evidence was pretty slim and said these cases are extremely difficult to prove. "
The case is being prosecuted by DDA Roger Rees but since he,was busy with the Jonas Semore preliminary hearing on Thursday, DDA Jackie Pizzo handled the preliminary hearing.
Mr. Neal Sanders was appointed to represent Cunha.
Arraignment on information for jury trial is on 9/16 at 2:00 pm in Courtroom 1.
