Will the handling of convicted murderer Jacob Steele's jury trial work in his favor today?
This afternoon, there is a Franklin hearing/resentencing scheduled for Jacob Charles Steele. He was convicted of second degree murder of Jerry George in 2012. As of today, Steele is not eligible for parole until 2034.
An order to transport Steele from San Quentin to Humboldt for this hearing was requested by the Public Defender's office on May 24, 2019. Court hearings on the Franklin hearing have been going on since February 5, 2019. District Attorney Maggie Fleming and Public Defender Marek Reavis appeared at the last court hearing on 6/14.
Setting for parole hearing was scheduled for August 30. The Public Defender is gathering relevant information. Deputy Public Defender Brie Bennett appeared for Mr. Reavis on 6/28. DA Maggie Fleming was in court for the People.
