Among his various cases, Kish is charged with arson of the former Arcata Alliance Market and sodomy against a male victim.
Dressed as usual in a red jumpsuit since he is in administrative segregation, chained, cuffed but no masks covering his face,
This afternoon in five cases, Kish teceived a total of 12 years in state prison. Court was not absent of Kish's usual theatrics.
No other media was in court. The District Attorney's office just sent out a press release:
NEWS RELEASE
February 19, 2016
Jeremy Kish pled guilty to multiple felonies on Wednesday and was sentenced to 12 years in prison today.
Kish, (dob 11/6/84) was sentenced to seven years for the arson he set on May 23, 2015 in Arcata. The early morning fire destroyed the former Alliance Market at 1499 Spear Avenue and an adjacent non-residential structure. Both the Arcata Police Department and the Arcata Fire Protection District responded. They located Jeremy Kish of Eureka close to the scene. Arson is a serious felony that will serve as a strike prior in any future criminal case.
He was also sentenced to five years for four felonies related to his assaultive conduct in the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. Prison time for those felonies will be served consecutively with the time served for arson. He also pled to a misdemeanor charge of criminal threats.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads.

Jeremy Kish, former Arcata Alliance Market Arson suspect with 25 or more files, pleads out out before preliminary hearing
A preliminary hearing scheduled tomorrow morning for Jeremy Kish has been vacated. He had an intervention hearing yesterday afternoon in Courtroom 2.
The result, he accepted a plea and will be sentenced at 4 p.m. on February 19 in Courtroom 2.
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.
The result, he accepted a plea and will be sentenced at 4 p.m. on February 19 in Courtroom 2.

"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.
