Wesley Lee Starritt sentenced to serve four life sentences in prison for murder and attempted murder

I covered Wesley Starritt regularly for years. It took too long for justice for the victims, their famies and friends with criminal proceedings being suspended to the current conclusion. In December 2021, I wrote, "He is one of the few examples, especially in Humboldt Superior Court, where the incompetent defense is used, the defendant goes to Napa State, comes back and competency is restored, gets a plea and then out of custody to destroy more lives and the process starts again."

I cover a lot of court cases daily, in detail, with court minutes and follow cases from arraignment to conclusion. The other local media with more resources covers one court case and a random hearing once in a blue moon and does a few paragraphs. I decided to post other original and more recent content today and wait and post the DA's press release on Starrit's sentencing which was issued a few minutes ago.

Thank you Judge Steward for ordering Analia Martinez to be placed on an ankle monitor and for listening to the evidence and history provided by the DA and alleged victims who have previously been ignored

 

Analia Martinez currently has three open cases in Humboldt Superior Court. Most of my readers are familiar with the charges, have followed my coverage and I just did a post on October 12.

Human trafficking and money laundering suspects Uonan Uonan aka "Chicago John" and Nicholas Machado aka "KGB" preliminary hearing being continued several times and once again on 10/29 did not surprise me and the minor update would usually be added to the previous post as I do in other cases. However, the latest continuance was by stipulation because settlement discussions are ongoing for both defendants. Setting of preliminary is scheduled for 12/12.
