Jon Goldberg to be arraigned on 2017 case this morning; also motion to consolidate both his cases on today

Both of Jon Goldberg's cases were scheduled this morning in Courtroom 5. The 2016 case, in which he is charged with the death of Tim Smith and the 2017 case in which his wife is the alleged victim.

The 2016 case has a motion for joinder. The 2017 case is araignment on information.

Jon Goldberg was only held to answer on two out of three charges after his preliminary in the 2017 case where his alleged wife is the victim and refused to
testify.
The complaint for arraignment on information for the 2017 case for the jury trial has two counts, one felony with a special allegation. Count 2 is a misdemeanor and a different charge than those in the complaint for preliminary hearing.

I reported on that a week ago.
