The insult Kamada made to Ray Christie and his lawyer applies more to him, Travis Mendes and Elvine-Kreis who should look in the mirror

This week, Rex and Billy made Humboldt the butt of jokes nationwide on Fox News. Their behavior is far too common in Humboldt government, politics and law enforcement and is ignored. Selfish local funders support mediocrity and unprofessionalism and could care less about Humboldt's reputation. Humboldt deserves better.

In a previous court hearing, Adrian Kamada turned to Ray Christie and his lawyer, Mr. Rick Richmond and said something to the effect, "You are a joke."

The only joke is Kamada and HCSO courtroom bailiff Travis Mendes and Judge Elvine-Kreis who sits in court and allows conduct unbecoming by letting these two behave however they want. Then again this is the same Judge partying and drinking with Public Defenders on a boat and a defendant in a lawsuit that made national headlines.

Kamada and Mendes botched up the first Ray Christie trial and don't even have the cajones to take responsibility. Kamada wants to be DA when he does not even know how to conduct himself in court?

I wrote about this incident in my previous coverage of a hearing on the Ray Christie case. Judge Elvine-Kreis did nothing to control his unprofessional buddy Kamada or  his courtroom bailiff Travis Mendes who he allowed to sit in for hearing after hearing in the Christie case when he is a key witness. Elvine-Kreis, another embarassment to the bench with the lawsuit, his rulings and his unprofessional behavior in court.

Other deputy district attorneys are still cleaning up Kamada's mess in the Christie case and have in others like the Tanner case. Kamada is off campaigning currently while his co workers cover a caseload that is already heavy. Even before the campaign, Kamada wasn't around a lot when his cases were called and everyone sat around waiting for his highness to arrive. Kamada is another loser who married into a local family and rides on the coattails of his in-laws.

Mendes is no longer a livestock deputy but a  courtroom bailiff. Mendes shouldn't have a badge or any authority. He has to compensate his deflated ego by being rude, disrespectful and petty to whoever he pleases including Christie's lawyers, me and random people.

Court 3 ran smoothly and on time while he was gone last week. Today, the moron was back and had Deputy DA Jessica Watson sit outside a courtroom for minutes for an ongoing trial because who knows where he was or what he was doing. I went in that courtroom later to briefly check on the Sotolongo trial and as soon as I entered Mendes informed me they were closing soon for break. Court had not closed, it was still in session. I know how court works and would have left on my own. I told him,"It isn't closed now, is it?" and walked out. Mendes is a joke. Just like his father, he thinks he owns the courtroom. 

Daddy Mendes told me Sheriff Billy Honsal is not a fan of his son. Mendes' anger and unprofessionalism had been on display more than once in court.

Mendes is also one the deputies in the settlement of this civil case. "CLDC attorneys representing journalist Mike Gamms announced the resolution of a federal civil rights lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Humboldt County and two of its Sheriff’s deputies for police brutality, false arrest, First Amendment retaliation, and malicious prosecution."

 am one of the most fair and pro law enforcement local media sources but I am not afraid to call out the bad apples. Before HDSO asks for raises, they need to remove the abusive, out of control, vindictive deputies including two courtroom bailiffs. One of them is Mendes. The other left his previous agency instead of being fired. Unions do protect bad employees while decent ones suffer or leave. 

Mendes thinks Rex Bohn has his back and gives a damn about him and law enforcement. Mendes was one of the deputies who came out during a campaign kickoff when summoned by Rex who couldn't handle an unruly bum. 

Mendes is unworthy to of the same uniform worn by law enforcement who protect and serve in a manner that has earned them respect.

If you missed this last post, link provided below. Daddy Alan Mendes, wasted no time, contacting me after that post. He is blocked after his attitude with me changed which coincided with my coverage on the Christie case and my reporting information not covered before. Wonder how Daddy Mendes got through?
