Kirby Bay denied release on OR after victim tells Judge that "he has violated the restraining order 15 times" and allegedly threatened to kill her
Kirby Bay was denied release on OR this afternoon by Judge Joyce Hinrichs after hearing from the People and the victim in this case, Megan Smith, who was present and made a statement in court, according to Marcy's law.
There was no bail reduction request discussed today.
Conflict Counsels' Mr. Greg Elvine-Kreis appeared in court with Bay. He made an effort to get Bay released, stating he is a "100% disabled vet" and would abide by the protective order issued.
Deputy District Attorney Jackie Pizzo told Judge Hinrichs, "We are opposed to Mr. Bay's release. There are number of grounds." Ms. Pizzo said that Bay had a prior offense of discharging a firearm from 1997; he absconded in this case and had to be arrested and was on probation; he shot at a woman with a child in the car who was attempting to serve him with a restraining order; he has a violent history; in a prior relationship in which he was charged with car theft was originally charged as kidnapping and that he told the victim (in the current case) he had shot an ex in the abdomen and "watched her bleed" and that he would do the same to her. Ms. Pizzo concluded by saying that the victim did not want him released and was willing to make a statement to the Judge.
Mr. Elvine-Kreis objected to any referenced to Bay's record from 1997, which he said had nothing to do with the current case. He added, the allegations occurred on June 4, and "the police did not arrest him until this Monday."
Ms.Pizzo added that there were other incidents from June 23rd and that the victim had relocated from her original residence and then said the victim believed that Bay knew where she had moved to based on a rock left at her new home. "The defendant collects rocks."
Ms. Smith spoke next, "Your honor, I am very frightened of Kirby. We share a 21 month old son. I have a restraining order against him. He has violated the restraining order 15 times."
"When he threatened to kill me, he referrred to the firearm he kept under our bed throughout our relationship. I am very afraid for my safety and the safety of my family. He was stalking my parents house in Ferndale. I believe he knows I have relocated. The gun does not belong to him."
Bay denied having any firearms.
