Way cases are scheduled in Humboldt Superior Court to change again

I heard over a month ago, some changes were being proposed, again, in the way cases were going to be called and scheduled in Humboldt Superior Courtrooms.

"This is the United States, we don't do things in secret"; Visting Judges should come to Humboldt more often

If you are local media, you expect your media request to be denied.

Today, kudos to KIEM for still trying. They hit the jackpot with a Visiting Judge. I was too busy trying to call other media to let them know about the Goldberg arraignment and another last minute change, or I would have submitted mine.

I hope what Visiting Judge Leonard La Casse started today catches on.

He let KIEM in early to set up. No other inmates were in the box, he did the Goldberg arraignment first as to avoid "distraction." Goldberg was not present as first as his attorney was challenging the request.

Governor Brown signs Senator McGuire's bill on psychotropic medication for foster youth; release claims strongest protection in U.S.

Over the past two years, Senator Mike McGuire has chaired four oversight hearings, requested and received a scathing state audit, held countless meetings with foster youth, advocates and families, and today has passed legislation that will become the strongest law in America focused on protecting foster youth from medical professionals who are overprescribing psychotropic medication.

People do not oppose Kitchen motion to continue preliminary hearing; new date is December 5

This afternoon a hearing on the motion for continuance was scheduled to be heard in the Marci Kitchen case at 2 p.m.. There is also an intervention hearing scheduled in this case at 3 p.m.

Mr. Benjamin Okin said "200 pages of discovery"; more discovery anticipated and investigation needed done on people "outside the county". Preliminary estimated to take two full days. Will be held at 9:45 a.m. on December 5.

Deputy District Attorney Luke Bernthal subbed in for DDA Stacey Eads today, who is prosecuting the case. The People did not oppose the motion to continue.

A new intervention date of November 17 has been set.

Sep 28, 2016

Marci Kitchen's attorney files a motion for continuance for preliminary hearing; hopefully it will be heard in an open courtroom

Goldberg's passport ordered to be surrendered; bail remains set for now, Prelim on October 12

Thanks to a Visiting Judge, KIEM got a media request granted and was the only media to film the arraignment.

Times Standard and Mad River Union also in court.

Citing a "Large marijuana grow", approximately 1000 plants on Goldberg's property as well as  public safety concerns, safety of victim and defendant's wife, People wanted bail increased. The Visiting Judge did not change the bail today but said either side can file to reduce or increase bail.

Goldberg said he was unemployed when Visiting Judge Leonard La Casse questioned if he could afford a lawyer.

Intervention is on October 6. Preliminary hearing October 12 at 8:30 a.m.

Will Nicholas Leigl win his motion to dismiss today in the Jesus,Garcia homicide case?

The motion hearing for the 995 motion is scheduled for this afternoon.

Mr. Michael Acosta is representing Nicholas Leigl.

Motion to continue got continued to October 5 at 8:30 a.m.

Sep 19, 2016

Another 995 motion filed in the Jesus Garcia case; this time for Nicholas Leigl

Jon David Goldberg to be arraigned today; charged with murder of Tim Smith

Jon David Goldberg us scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon in Courtroom 5. In the complaint filed, he is charged in Count 1 with the murder of Timothy Thomas Smith.  Special allegation for Count 1 is "discharging a firearm, a handgun causing great bodily injury or death" to Smith.

Kudos to latest Deputy DA hired, Luke Bernthal, for his first win

Today, Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming announced that after a six-day jury trial before Judge Marilyn Miles, jurors convicted Tennessee resident Ervin Sweat, 26, of driving recklessly while evading a police officer, a felony violation of the California Vehicle Code.  

Marci Kitchen's attorney files a motion for continuance for preliminary hearing; hopefully it will be heard in an open courtroom

Tomorrow an intervention was already scheduled for Marci Kitchen.

Her attorney filed a motion to continue on 9/27. That hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Judge Joyce Hinrichs mentioned at arraignment, intervention may not be on record. With the interest in this case, I hope that motion is heard in an open courtroom.

And not just included in intervention since there have already been delays in this case.

Naked pictures of Goldberg's wife discovered on Smith's phone by his wife

According to statement of probable cause, Tim Smith's wife told law enforcement that arrived at her residence, Jon Goldberg shot her husband. He said something like, "I thought you were my friend man."

The statement further states that Tim Smith's wife claims she found naked pictures of Goldberg's wife on Tim Smith's phone the night before and that she confronted her husband about the pictures and that she called Goldberg's wife to tell Jon Goldberg about them.

More photos of items  seized and statement of probable cause (below).

The only two eye witnesses identifying Goldberg at the residence driving away are Smith's wife and son. From the statement of probable cause summary, they did not see the actual shooting. Utility crew heard shots.

Ramey warrant on Goldberg turned in minutes ago, see document yourself

I have the search warrant too and will have that up in a few minutes.

So did the Fortuna PD lie to me yesterday about the Ramey warrant being turned in? And when do they plan on giving a report to the DA?

I have a good relationship with court staff, HCSO, jail staff and the DA's office. I will also commend the records clerk at Fortuna PD.

But Fortuna Police Department right now isn't winning the award for transparency.

Either someone misled Sgt. Charles Ellebrecht or Fortuna PD outright lied to me yesterday.

I spent almost two hours going back forth to various departments in the Courthouse yesterday morning. Everyone could not find a copy of the Ramey warrant. FPD was not reachable.

No report from FPD yet, if not arraigned in time, Jon David Goldberg could be released tomorrow

Jon David Goldberg, the suspect in the death of Tim Smith, has not been scheduled for arraignment yet nor have charges been filed, as of this morning.

The District Attorney's office has not received a report from Fortuna Police Department, yet.

If Goldberg is not arraigned within 48 hours of his arrest, he will be released from custody. He is on the must go list, to be released tomorrow. Goldberg was not arraigned today.

Still working on getting the Ramey warrant.

Yesterday, Fortuna Police Department's Sgt. Charles Ellebrecht said, "he did not foresee any additional press releases."

NJ bill asks cannabis to be treated like tobacco, make it legal, expunge records for weed related crimes

A New Jersey Assemblyman, who identifies as conservative, hasn't taken a pill, or smoked sponsored the following bill.

Excerpt:

Bold legislation introduced in New Jersey last week would not only treat cannabis like tobacco — legalizing it — but would expunge records for individuals previously convicted of certain marijuana-related ‘crimes.’

Should the bill, A4193, pass, convenience stores would be permitted to sell cannabis alongside cigarettes — available to anyone aged 19 and older.

Kudos to North Coast News for breaking this news live and being the first.

"The Blue Angel Village has been a great asset to our city," Councilmember Kim Bergel said after the meeting. "I am personally aware of many people from the marsh who have been successful at turning their lives around in a very positive way.  I am so happy that the project will go forward for another year at the Koster Street location. Thank you to all of the public who came out to express their opinions and ideas. Together we are making positive change in our city."

Naked man EPD got a call about ends up being Phoenix Campbell Loya who was convicted last August; been arrested more than once for drunk in public since then

I gave up following the sentencing because it kept getting delayed. He was sentenced, then I saw his name pop up in booking reports; and now this today.

Sentencing for Phoenix Campbell-Loya delayed to get information on possible mental health issues

On 8/17, Phoenix Campbell-Loya was to be sentenced by Judge Miles. On June 29, Phoenix Campbell-Loya was found guilty by the jury of Count 1 assault and Count 2 carrying a concealed dirk and dagger. Count 1 is a felony. He was supposed to be sentenced on July 27; his attorney, Ms. Meagan O'Connell from the Public Defender's office asked for a continuance. She had not received the probation report and requested time to meet with him.

Jury trial set for Ewa Misztal on Nov 21; she gets teary eyed as she sees her family in court from Poland

This afternoon Ewa Misztal, the Polish citizen arrested in Arcata for the alleged death of her baby, was  arraigned on information for her jury trial. She entered a plea of not guilty, time was not waived, and the date for her jury trial is November 21.

Mr. Casey Russo who is representing her said he was going to request a date for discovery because he has not even received the autopsy report yet. He has also subpoenaed records "crucial to the case".

Misztal's family was in court, a man and a woman, likeltly her mother because Mr. Russo referred to her as Mrs. Misztal. She was sobbing in court and had a Polish interpreter with her. Miztal got teary eyed as she saw her family.

The alleged charge is the same that she was held to answer after the preliminary hearing: Count 1 Felony PC 273ab Assault on a child causing death.

Misztal is being represented by Public Defender Casey Russo. Bail is one million. 

If convicted, the sentence for this charge is 25 years to life.

Assemblyman Jim Wood seeks to improve Denti-Cal

This weekend, AB 2207, a bill by Assemblymember Jim Wood which makes improvements to Denti-Cal, the state’s dental Medicaid program, was signed by Governor Brown.

“The Denti-Cal system is broken – so broken that many dentists provide free care to patients rather than participate in the program,” says Wood.

Have you seen one of these yet?

"Our jail in Humboldt County is by far the largest mental health facility we have but it wasn't designed to deal with many of the issues surrounding individuals with mental illness"

Fourth District Supervisor Virginia Bass is one of ten people from California getting a special tour of jail facilities in San Antonio, Texas and Miami, Florida and seeing how they deal with mental health for people that are incarcerated.

Instead of attending a RCRC conference in Tahoe, Supervisor Bass thought this was a very important opportunity and chose to spend this week in Texas and Florida.

Supervisor Bass flew out early this morning from Humboldt County. She just left on a flight out of San Francisco and  shared some thoughts about her trip.

"I was offered an incredible opportunity to travel with a high level delegation of 10 individuals sponsored by the National Institute of Corrections and the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) to visit jails that are considered model facilities for how they deal with the challenges of incarceration of folks who suffer from mental illness."

"Our jail in Humboldt County is by far the largest mental health facility we have but it wasn't designed to deal with many of the issues surrounding individuals with mental illness. I hear the same story from many other counties. This is a problem we don't deal with very well."

"The good news is, there are counties across the Country who are doing new and innovative things in this area."

Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown and I are the only 2 "local electeds" joining this group that includes Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, Linda Penner, chair of the BSCC, Stephanie Welch, Executive officer of The Council on Mentally Ill Offenders (COMIO) with the CDCR, MHSOAC commissioners Richard Van Horn and Dr. Victor Carrion and Toby Ewing the Executive Director of the MHSOAC.

With the tweekers and druggies, can we atleast make $ off them as a location for the Walking Dead

If we are going to have all these tweekers and druggies suck up resources, especially law enforcement, can't we at least make money off them as a location for "The Walking Dead"?

Yeah, I have said it before; Yeah I know not all of Humboldt is like this but with the damage constantly around, it is hard to ignore.

Looks like Kushwaha didn't learn his lesson with the Green Valley motel being shut down 3 years ago

Besides the Budget Motel in Eureka, Ravindra aka David Kushwaha had another motel shut down in 2013.

Wouldn't talk to media then; wouldn't talk to media now except today to whine about alleged conspiracies about Danco and the City and suing the City of Eureka.

He didn't come up with the money then; he did not now.

The shut down in 2013 was a County action since it was Green Valley motel in Orick.

Story at:

http://mckinleyvillepress.com/slumlord-wont-relocate-tenants-at-dilapidated-motel-families-told-children-cant-live-there/

If anyone should be sued, it should be Kushwaha by the taxpayers.

He made people living at his two motels lose their homes, he had no problem taking rent checks for years  and expecting people who had little choice live in disgusting and dangerous conditions or over using up City and County resources, especially police for one property, the Budget.

If Peter Martin was really a champion for the downtrodden, he would have sued Kushwaha, and offered his services pro bono. No easy money here, so Martin passed on this "cause."

"The physical structure is only part of the problem; this has become a hot spot in Eureka for crime and disorder"; Budget motel is being boarded up room by room

"The physical structure is only part of the problem; this has become a hot spot in Eureka for crime and disorder," said EPD Captain Steve Watson. Not all, but a number of people who are living at the Budget are the problem, said Captain Watson.

"We are just standing by to make sure things go peacefully," said EPD Captain Brian Stephens.

Over 2,000 Commercial Cannabis Activity Registration forms filed with County prior to August 23 deadline

The Planning & Building Department - Cannabis Services Division is excited to announce the receipt of well over 2,000 Commercial Cannabis Activity Registration forms submitted prior to the Aug. 23 deadline. This impressive and encouraging initial response is due in large part to partnerships and outreach by numerous state agencies and local organizations, non-profits, and consulting firms who were instrumental in helping mobilize and educate Humboldt’s medical cannabis farmers and patients.

Budget Motel process of relocating tenants to start tomorrow after 8 a.m

City just sent out a press release. The rest of the information already covered in earlier posts.

Citing public safety concerns and the horrifying experience of the 12 year old student, People request and are granted no bail for Dylan Wilson

More disturbing details emerged at the arraignment of Dylan Wilson this afternoon about his alleged encounter with the female minor on the path to Arcata Elementary school.

Besides court staff, attorneys, victim witness representatives, no one besides me was in the court for Wilson's arraignment.

A sullen Wilson walked into Courtroom 5 this afternoon. He looked down as Judge Joyce Hinrichs read the charges against him.

When Judge Hinrichs asked if he needed an attorney to represent him, Wilson loudly snapped, "Yeah."

Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads who is prosecuting this case requested no bail.

Ms. Eads said the People had public safety concerns. "A child is the victim. While she was walking to school, he looked at her. They made eye contact. He grabbed her, proceeded to pull down her pants as well as her panties and was on top of her. She yelled as loudly as she could. She tried to push him away. She was unsuccessful."

Dylan Wilson who allegedly assaulted 12 year old at Arcata Elementary charged with two felonies

Dylan Jackson Wilson is scheduled to be arraigned  this afternoon for his 2016 case. His 2015 and 2014 cases are also on calendar.

In his recent case, he is charged with two felonies. Count 1 Forcible Lewd  Act Upon a Child and Count 2 Assault with intent to commit a felony on a victim under 18; " intent to commit rape, sodomy and oral copulation" is alleged in the complaint.

Charges are slightly different than what he was charged with when he was booked.

Wilson is the man who allegedly assaulted a 12 year old at Arcata Elementary earlier this week.

Judge Reinholtsen rules in favor of the City of Eureka over Budget Motel owner

Just in...

Judge Dale Reinholtsen ruled in favor of the City of Eureka.

The City will be issuing a press release later today.

For details of City Attorney Cyndi Day-Wilson's argument, please refer to the post below. Clearly, Judge Reinholtsen agreed with the City of Eureka.

Mf. Carlton Floyd said he had no comment.

Here is a Judge Reinholtsen's ruling:

With over 100 open violations in 2011; 348 violations now in 2016; City of Eureka outlines the deplorable conditions, including case laws and civil codes why Budget request should be denied

"This owner had had more than a fair shake" said Eureka City Attorney Cyndi Day Wilson. "The City has a long history with the Budget motel."

Ms. Day-Wilson mentioned that the City has been tracking this property since 2006. "There are currently nine outstanding cases dating back to June 10, 2010."

Disputing that the owners had not received notice, Ms. Day-Wilson cited many dates from 2011 to 2014, prior to the recent notice that had been served on the Budget Motel informing them of the issues.

There were over "100 open violations" cited in 2011.

Should the owners of the Budget be given 45 more days they are asking for or should the City of Eureka be allowed to proceed; owners acknowledge issues

Judge Dale Reinholtsen opened this morning's hearing on "prohibiting the City of Eureka and its agents' from vacating tenants from the "premises of the Budget" motel had been submitted on behalf of the owners of the Budget by Mr. Carlton Floyd, their attorney.

"I was contacted by their (clients) office on Tuesday," said Mr. Floyd. "On Monday, they received notice that there were a large number of violations at the Budget and that the tenants would be evicted this morning. Prior to that the only notice they had received was a phone call from Brain Issa. As far as written notice in the last six months/a year, they had not received any," until this recent notice is what Mr. Floyd claimed his client told him.

"Mr. Kushwaha lives in Oxnard, CA; his assistant lives in Texas," said Mr. Floyd. "There have been various property managers and they have not relayed any messages regarding code violations."

"I am not here to argue there are violations; I'm sure there are. I am here to argue they be given a chance to fix the violations." Mr. Floyd said that the money for relocation benefits would be "better spent fixing all the issues on the property."

"The reason this is a huge detriment is because the City is requiring them to pay an upward of $60,000 in relocating fees."

"They have contacted an engineer who will in by Friday. A plumber that will be in by the week." They have contacted an electrician, said Mr. Floyd and they plan to immediately replace "all beds infested with bed bugs." They will install security cameras, he said.

Mr. Floyd said that the current manager had rented some rooms without the knowledge of the owner because the manager was unaware. "They have been vacated since yesterday."

"Outside engineering issues, my clients feel they can fix other issues in 45 days. They are willing to have the City check the progress every 48 hours. If they cannot fix these issues in 45 days, they won't fight the summary eviction and the City can go ahead."

In response to a question by Judge Reinholtsen about the plaintiffs acknowledging the issues, Mr. Floyd said that "the tenants are willing to work with the landlord so they have a place to stay."

Judge Reinholtsen to issue his ruling on whether City of Eureka can proceed at the Budget by noon

Yesterday, the owners of the Budget Motel in Eureka filed a last minute order to try and prevent the City of Eureka from closing down the motel which has 340 code violations.

Bradley Floyd is representing the Budget Motel owners Amanda and Ravindra Kushwaha. Only Ravindra Kushwaha was in court with another unidentified man. Budget motel manager Tiffany Taylor was also in court.

City Attorney Cyndi Day Wilson was in court. Eureka Police Chief Andy Mills, Humboldt Bay Fire Chief Bill Gillespie and two other HBF staff members, City Clerk Pam Powell, Chief Building Official Brian Gerving and City's Code Enforcement Program Manager Brian Issa were in court.

Gist was that Ravindra Kushwaha wants 45 days to have a chance to  fix issues and have people stay there and claimed the $60,000 in relocation expenses was a detriment.

City Attorney citing that there have been open violations since 2011 and that the owners had not fixed them, had plenty of time, and citing case law and civil codes why the TRO should not be granted along with highlighting the deplorable conditions and 348 current violations asked Judge Dale Reinholtsen to deny the request by TRO.

Judge Reinholtsen said he will have a ruling by noon today.

I am in the process of working on two separate post on both arguments, which I may finish before or after the ruling is issued today.

Times Standard, North Coast Journal and Lost Coast Outpost were also in court.

HCSO seeks your help locating male suspect wanted for alleged fraudelent use of credit cards in Trinidad and Mckinleyville

On August 17, 2016 a Humboldt County Deputy Sheriff patrolling the area of Trinidad was approached by two victims wanting to report a vehicle burglary.  The male victim told the deputy his vehicle had been broken into while they were hiking near the Trinidad Frontage Road.  The female victim’s wallet including various credit cards and driver’s license were stolen from the vehicle.

Temporary restraining order requested against City of Eureka's action to close Budget tomorrow

I just stopped by Mr. Bradley Floyd's office and spoke with his assistant.

She did verify a complaint for a temporary restraining order to stop the tenants from having to move tomorrow has been filed.

Once it is signed by a Judge, the City will be served.

I just checked the court records and court clerk's office right before they closed for the day. It is a restraining order to try stop the injunction. Was signed by Judge Dale Reinholtsen. Court hearing tomorrow at 8:45 a.m.

I will upload more photos of the basic complaint later today. I will have more details on the full complaint tomorrow since the clerk's office is now closed .

Plaintiffs are Amanda and Ravindra Kushwaha, owners of the Budget Motel. Defendant is City of Eureka.

(Please do not use photos without credit--see copyright information on home page)

One of the photos says electronic service, City Attorney Cyndi Day Wilson told me they do not accept electronic service, this was before lunch. As of 2:30, the City had yet not been served.
