It has been two months since Mr. Meserve has been found guilty of 15 felonies. The two victims have a Marcy's right to see restitution and justice." Defense wants new trial.

The defense scheduled a motion to be heard for a new trial yesterday at 4 p.m. for Kailan Meserve. While Mr. David Celli from Mr. Russ Clanton's office was present in court, Kailan Meserve decided in court that he wanted Mr. Clanton present to argue the motion.

The People oppose the motion. Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads, who appeared on her behalf of her colleague, Ms. Bennett, told Judge Timothy Cissna, "It has been two months since Mr. Meserve has been found guilty of 15 felonies. The two victims have a Marcy's right to see restitution and justice. It has been a significant time since the jury came back with a verdict."

Mr. Celli responded, "



The hearing is now scheduled for June 27 at 4 p.m. in Courtroom 4. Both Ms. Bennett and Mr. Clanton are expected to be at that hearing.

Kailan Meserve found guilty of 15 counts, taken away in cuffs after verdict

Guilty on all 15 counts. For Count 1, he was found not guilty of kidnapping but he was found guilty of the lesser charge of false imprisonment.

The jury did not find special allegations of kidnapping true for Counts 1-7.

Meserve was charged with 15 counts, many counts have the option of lesser charges and there are special allegations.

Count 1 kidnapping (Jane Doe #1 to commit rape), Count 2 Forcible rape (Jane Doe #1), Count 3 Forcible oral copulation (Jane Doe #1),Count 4 Forcible oral copulation (Jane Doe #1), Count 6 Assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (Jane Doe #!), Count 7 Criminal threats (Jane Doe #1), Count 8 Forcible Rape (Jane Doe #2), Count 9 Forcible Rape (Jane Doe #2), Count 10 Forcible oral opulation (Jane Doe #2), Count 11 Forcible Oral copulation (Jane Doe #2), Count 12 Forcible Oral Copulation (Jane Doe #2), Count 13 Forcible Oral Copulation (Jane Doe #2), Count 14 Sexual battery (Jane Doe #2), Count 15 Sexual battery (Jane Doe #2), Count 16 Sexual penetration by a foreign object (jane Doe #2).

Special allegation of kidnapping for Counts 1 to 7.

Previous reports have stated 16 counts. One count, count 5, sexual penetration by a foreign object, is a charge Meserve was not held to answer after the preliminary hearing.

That one count was not updated and unclear in the computer last time I checked during the trial but I got clarification from Deputy District Attorney Brie Bennett after the verdict.

Kailan Meserve was led away in cuffs after the verdict was read.

Sentencing is July 1st at 8:30 a.m. Meserve waived time for sentencing.
