Humboldt Superior Court rejects Michael Acosta's 995 motion because there was no OST

 

Local Michael Acosta's Faretta motion was rejected on March 7 but he can resubmit it. Currently, he has a court appointed attorney, Ms. Rebecca Linkous, but he went ahead and filed a 995 motion on his own for his case. 

It was rejected by Humboldt Superior Court because it was not filed with a Order Shortening Time. I have a copy of the entire motion and am going to wait and see if Acosta files it.

His co-defendant Sarah Carroll is represented by Ms. Sullivan. Judge Steven Steward recused himself on 4/21.
