"I just want to plead guilty now! I told you I am willing to take the deal she is willing to give me." Kish yells at his attorney in court





By October 22, 2015 Jeremy Kish had been transported to NAPA.

Now, he's back.

He was released and ruled competent so criminal proceedings have been resumed. Of course, that could change.

He had preliminary hearings scheduled for tomorrow in two cases, his recent arson case and the sex offense case. The other cases are trailing. His defense attorney, Public Defender Casey Russo, filed for a continuance due to some discovery issues. Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads told Judge Feeney that the  victims had been notified and the People had no objection.

 An intervention hearing is set for February 9 at 4 p.m. and preliminary hearing  is now scheduled for February 18 at 8:30 a.m.

Dressed in his usual red for administrative segregation, bound in chains, mask covering his mouth and head and only two bailiffs escorting him, in typical Kish fashion,he rambled on and on wanting to chat with Mr. Russo before his case was called.

Once dates were rescheduled, he initially did not want to enter a general time waiver in a few cases. First he addressed the Judge, "Mr. Feeney does it have to be this long?" Judge Feeney asked him to convey what he wanted through his attorney.

"I just want to plead guilty now!" said Kish to Mr. Russo. "I told you I am willing to take the deal she is willing to give me." After Mr. Russo calmed him down and spoke to him for a bit, he agreed to the time waivers.

"There are 25 or so files here"; Visiting Judge's response to signing an order to show cause to be served on Napa State Hospital for Jeremy Kish

A 90 day progress report for Jeremy Kish scheduled on November 12 will probably end up being rescheduled. Why?

Kish who was to be transported to Napa after a commitment order was signed in August by Judge Marilyn Miles is still at the Humboldt County jail facility. The Public Defender's office filed an order to show cause why NAPA has still not transported Kish.  The People were in agreement with the defense.

Mr. Casey Russo is representing Kish since the last hearing. Deputy District Attorney Adrian Kamada was present for the People for yesterday's hearing which took place in Courtroom 6 before Visiting Judge Richard Kossow. With the court restructuring , it should have been in Courtroom 5.

Mr. Russo told Judge Kossow that "Kish has been here 50 plus days. NAPA has failed to transport him within a reasonable time. We ask that by October 22 for NAPA to show cause why they haven't transported him."

"There are 25 or so files here," said Judge Kossow. "You want me to sign an order in each of them?

What would a Kish hearing be without some drama. Watched by three extra bailiffs, in addition to the regular courtroom bailiff, Kish dressed in his red jumpsuit, with mouth and face covered with a mask and in chains, piped up, "Your honor, can I have a moment to talk to my attorney?"

After a minute with Mr. Russo, this time not loud enough for everyone to hear in the courtroom, KIsh was content to have his minute of fame and was taken back to his cell.

This time Jeremy Kish's lawyer fires him!

Well technically, his lawyer did not fire him, but how could I resist that pun after Kish's numerous attempts at Marsden hearings that were denied.

Jeremy Kish is still waiting transport to Napa State Hospital. A commitment order was signed on August 19 by Judge Marilyn Miles. Dressed is his trademark red for administrative segregation, bound in chains, mouth and head covered with masks, Kish was only escorted by one extra bailiff.

His lawyer, Conflict Counsel's Mr. Greg Elvine-Kreis told Judge Marilyn Miles that "my office has a conflict on all the cases." Public Defender's office was appointed for Kish on September 4.

DDA Whitney Barnes was present for the People.

Just as I thought, at last, one drama free Kish court hearing, Kish yelled to Judge Miles, "Can you rush on the transportation?"

If you haven't been following the case, read the previous links to catch up.
