Crossbow killer Phoenix King seeks sentence clarification

A hearing to appoint counsel in Phoenix King's case was scheduled this morning. Another writ of habeas corpus. Judge Christopher Wilson reappointed the Conflict Counsel's office. That office represented him in his 2013 case. King's attorney in the 2013 case was Mr. Gregory Elvine-Kreis, who is now a Humboldt Superior Court Judge.

"There have been corrections to the abstract judgement," said Judge Wilson. He told the clerk to schedule "further proceedings in front of Judge Reinholtsen."  A hearing is scheduled for September 12 at 8:30 a.m. in Courtroom 3. District Attorney Maggie Fleming was present for today's hearing.

From Shouselaw.com:

"In California, anyone who is in prison, or otherwise restrained in some way by the criminal justice system, can bring a writ of habeas corpus petition to challenge their imprisonment.2 The right to do this is guaranteed by the California Constitution."
