Carol, next time you slander, question my reporting, get your facts right and do some research on the law and journalism since you have plenty of time to waste

 

Alleged rapist Baila Wane's preliminary hearing scheduled on 4/30 was already  continued once to 5/2 because the officer was sick. It was continued again to 6/4 because investigation was needed. Both times by the DA.

People made oral motion to continue. Since preliminary was continued beyond the 10 day waiver, Wane released with conditions. 

The DA charged Wane with Count 1 PC 261 (a) (3) rape of a victim inapable of consent due to intoxicating, anesthetic or controlled substance and Count 2 PC 261(a)(2) forcible rape of a minor. 

This is the email I received today.

Carol, tell your neighbor I am mortified that an alleged rapist charged with serious crimes against a minor and his enabling neighbor; that would be you; have the audacity to think that my priority in a busy month,busier week and even busier day is to drop everything and do an update because you two brainless, selfish morons do not realize an alleged rapist was released due to technicality. Maybe Wane should focus on following the law while he is out of custody which could change after his preliminary hearing. Maybe you should  realize that your opinion and belief are not facts or court records or evidence. 

Carol, I will wait for the preliminary hearing, any evidence and not your opinion on your neighbor's arrest.  You have the gall to slander, intrude, harass, waste my time, disparage my reporting without the facts of the court hearing, impact my livelihood and think you can badger me into removing a valid booking photo about an arrest? Your neighbor is no different than any other person arrested on a booking log and his case will be reported on just like any other defendant. Next time, wait for an update and don't assume I work for you or on your time table. 

I crop out identifying information from emails, tips and protect my sources but if you misuse my email, slander me, cause me a lot of hardship because you are selfish, self absorbed with an axe to grind, then you will be called out and exposed in public. 

Come do what I have for 20 years, for the last 10 years, the last 10 days. We will see how long you last. If I am cranky certain days;  I have every right to be when I deal with several "Carols" a day while trying to survive and inform my community. I do not have to explain myself to anyone. I do not have to provide court minutes. I chose to do so and put in that time. I have 10 years of what I write being backed by evidence and court minutes and by now, including them isn't necessary. No other local media does when they report on hearings and cases. I certainly do not have to myself to some random "Carol" who not only doesn't pay me for my time but costs me money and impedes my work.

The people who actually support this blog financially whether they advertise, subscribe or donate and regular readers who are patiently waiting for cases to be updated this week, readers who care and know the challenges I am going through don't bother me at all.  But the Carols and other selfish users who benefit from what I posted on my blog do. They are MIA when I am being attacked and have taken advantage of me. Now, instead of updating a case one of these regular readers who has been patiently waiting for days, I have to waste time calling out yet another self centered Humboldt snot who cost me more money today at a time I am going through more financial hardship. Humboldt has "lost mail" for two weeks and the issue isn't resolved. Useless Jared Huffman's office has not even returned my calls because other people have lost mail which they need.

I havent slept in days, had time to sit down to eat, time to go take care of my health, am checking on cases with limited time and access to court computers buy providing court minutes and ton of content for free. I have to also work and generate income to fund this blog and instead of time I should be spending with people who value me, I am dealing with This self absorbed privileged "Karen" defending an alleged rapist and telling me how to report. 

That it how it has been for 10 years. I don't have the luxury to sit at my desk and churn out one story every two weeks or a month, proofread that one insipid content which only special interests want to read. The same Humboldt fat cats who want to keep others down, the same 5 groupies on certain local media and blogs who fawn over computer generated agendas and the same egos  too busy fighting the same battles for 20 years instead of allowing new competent leadership to be elected are the problem, the negativity and the reason Humboldt remains depressed, stagnant and mired in negativity. I recognized Carol's email. Even before I did the google search.

I have about 20 court cases to still update just from today and for the first time have been days behind for weeks due to unnecessary and constant chaos caused by inept, arrogant, self absorbed losers like the Cal Poly administration and Gregory Kreis and all those I call out. The slime that can't face me but troll me and the same filth that shuts down any decent person who does not play along with their narrative in person or online. 

I can cover multiple courtrooms and live news and get news out fast but the Humboldt challenges in the last few months keep increasing. Every time I catch up and think maybe this weekend, I can take a break, a Carol screws it up. Every time  certain other media has egg on their face and I have post after post calling out the worthless powers to be which is effective; the attacks begin. Humboldt is Devil's playground and I don't mean in a religious sense. It has been hard lately, not that Carol or the rest of the destructive Humboldt forces care. Like her you will still spew your negativity online without any consideration for other human beings like overworked law enforcement or stressed journalists. The hate and bitterness oozing out of your miserable existences on Reddit and the comment sections of certain local sites who are a contagion can wear down the positive people in Humboldt actually trying to make a difference but your attempts never defeat us.

It is hard when there is so much news in a day and you have to fend off harassment, threats and distractions  and constant interruptions and self serving emails with incomplete and inaccurate information. I dont jump at your selfish commands. You dont pay my bills,you have no idea what conditions I endure to put out this blog, especially in the last 4 years. Let's see how my harassers, detractors and backstabbers fare if  they have to put up with what I have for 10  years of doing this blog and 20 years of Humboldt negativity.

A continuance is something I would have added to a previous post but Carol's inaccurate slander had to be addressed before it ended up being repeated online anonymously or with "Carols" passing on misinformation.

"Not for war or occupation" another rally at 5th and I, Cal Poly admin exposed by local Jewish leaders

 

I saw the rally, I heard the chants a while back. "No Justice, no Peace", "No racist police" "Israel os a racist state", "Israel is a para state." There are other signs. The protests and chants have received a lot of coverage. There is nothing new to cover today. I don't recognize or see any of the students and ralliers I spoke with on Tuesday. At 5:25,  people with signs are standing outside the 5th street court entrance.Deputy DA Roger Rees is here on his own time. Neither side is engaging each other.

Between cars honking support at both sides, its noisy and I don't know who this guy is but his screaming random angry baiting insults is being ignored. Seems more like an opportunist but then so are the politicians, local, statewide and nationally. Today, cars honked in support of the protestors but there were a few people who also did that and stopped to speak with Mr. Rees.

The bigger story is will Cal Poly Humboldt administration, Mike McGuire Jim Wood continue to ignore the letter from Jewish leaders. 

I wrote in one of my many posts that many people commenting on the Cal Poly Humboldt do not care about Israel or Gaza. I consistently called out Cal Poly admin. If after this letter from local Jewish leaders, anyone still wants to pretend Cal Poly admin including Tom Jackson and Connie Stewart care about anyone other than getting paid, don't ask Cal Poly admin to be fired for the unneccesary closure and the over top use of massive police brute force or defend politicians using the horror the Jewish community has faced historically and still does to the present day for their selfish motives, then a snake has more morals than you.

While others have made some of the same points in the letter from the local Jewish leaders, these are key paragraphs exposing Cal Poly Humboldt admin and the opportunist politicians.

But we do not find the protests themselves to be antisemitic and we reject it as justification for the police force used against the protesters. This inappropriate justification is all the more problematic because it was done without any consultation with Jewish community leaders.

Senator and Assemblymember, you stated concern for the difficult experience of “Humboldt’s Jewish students and others over the past week.” Yes, the past week has been traumatic, for the entire campus community and community at large. But the problems with antisemitism at Cal Poly Humboldt are not confined to one tumultuous week. 

Mike McGuire and the local politicians, the Cal Poly admin and all the others who profit from HSU becoming Cal Poly recruit students here knowing there is a housing shortage, they could care less about the safety of their students and that is more than the Josiah Lawson case and they definitely do not care about the lives lost in Israel or Gaza. 

Who cares about civil liberties being violated, freedom of speech, human lives lost as long as some entitled Westerners get to engage in a wasteful customfrom Europe in the Middle Ages and walk down in their caps and gowns and party because that is what defines graduating from college.

KRCR reporter arrested for DUI

 

I compared the date of birth from jail records and 24 year old Adelmi Yazmin Ysita arrested by California Highway Patrol at 3:10 a.m for VC 23152 (a) andVC 23152(b) bac over legal limit is the KRCR KAEF reporter detained on Cal Poly campus earlier this week. She was released on OR. CHP PIO Paul Craft told me, "This arrest occurred on Myrtle Ave south of Park St., in Eureka."

I have reached out to KRCR Assistant News Director Nazy Javid, News Director Kerry Loring and General Manager John Manzi. On behalf of Sinclair Broadcasting, spokesperson Jessica Bellucci responded, "Hi John-Adelmi is currently on leave from the station. This is a personnel matter, and we can’t comment further. Thank you for understanding."

Considering what happened to Adelmi on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus earlier this week with illegal detention by two officers listed as Cal Poly Humboldt police, I want to know more about this California Highway Patrol arrest. I have reached out to Adelmi if she wishes to comment. 

Lassen Superior Court Tony Mallery removed from office by CJP

 

(Mallery administering oath to Lassen County Supervisors)

Today, the Commission on Judicial Performance issued a decision and order removing Lassen Superior Court Judge Tony R. Mallery from Office. His behavior and fighting the CJP despite overwhelming evidence is what led to the result today. Mallery was also charged with 21 counts of misconduct and had a notice of formal proceedings filed against him.

From page 1, introduction:

This disciplinary matter concerns Lassen County Superior Court Judge Tony R. Mallery.  The commission commenced this inquiry with the filing of its Notice of Formal Proceedings (Notice) on September 12, 2022. Judge Mallery is charged with 21 counts of misconduct, which, with subparts, include 81 allegations of misconduct.  The allegations involve discouraging court staff from cooperating with the commission and retaliating against those who did; false representations to the commission; usurping the role of prosecutors and attempting to eliminate plea bargaining in criminal cases; making judicial decisions based on improper considerations; improperly denying peremptory challenges and retaliating against attorneys who filed them; making comments to other judges that might interfere with a fair hearing; engaging in speech and conduct that could be perceived as biased; poor demeanor toward court staff; making disparaging remarks about a fellow judge and court staff; and failing to disclose or disqualify when required. "

I am not posting the other 113 pages. You can download the document from the CJP website. You should read the document.

Trying to use his position to find out who was "ratting" on him, retaliation against attorneys who disqualified him, refusing to disclose affiliation and recuse himself from a case, anyone getting deja vu?

So County, HCSO or media would have been vilified but this guy can post an unsubstantiated photo and information online and face no consequences?

John Provolt resolves indecent exposure case for lesser charge, one year probation and ordered to stay away from Good Relations

 

Yurok Tribe member Sherri Provolt's son John Provolt resolved his indecent exposure case on 4/29. The bench warrant was recalled. The subsection in the court minutes is difficult to read but it looks like John Provolt pleaded guilty to PC 647 (a) lewd conduct in public which is a misdemeanor. Judge Kaleb Cockrum sentenced Provolt to 1 year probation and ordered him to stay away 100 yards from Good Relations. He can drive by or walk on the other side of the street.

Ms. Andrea Sullivan is Provolt's attorney. Deputy District Attorney Andrew Truitt appeared on the case for the People.

Details about the case including the Eureka Police Department report on the incident at Good Relations are in previous coverage. Court minutes have more details on the sentence.

Suspicious item in passenger's luggage caused temporary closure of terminal and security checkpoint at airport today

The terminal and security check point at the California Redwood Coast Humboldt County Airport (ACV) were closed at approximately 3:45 p.m. today, Wednesday, May 1, due to a security concern related to a suspicious item in a passenger’s luggage. This temporary closure was in place out of caution while Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office investigated the issue.

Before they delete any comments or the trolls take over, Tom Jackson, CPH, Mike McGuire and Gavin Newsom should read the LOCO comments on today's two articles, even the LOCO regulars are waking up

 

In less than 24 hours, spineless Tom Jackson has even lost the regular LOCO crowd. Tom Jackson et al are still not being exposed by certain media who continue to spin headlines and run MIA Tom Jackson's bs press release. Cal Poly Humboldt has a website where they can post regurgitated updates.

DA claims bite marks on Mia's arm cannot be distinguished, defense to subpoena criminalist who prepared DNA report

 

Yesterday, at trial confirmation for murder suspect Daniel Dozier, Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees and Ms. Andrea Sullivan both confirmed the 5/13 jury trial but with some caveats and comments from Ms. Sullivan and then a response from Judge Joyce Hinrichs,  whether it will proceed on that day is uncertain. Time estimate given by Mr. Rees is 3 to 5 weeks. Trial assignment is May 10.

Dozier is out of custody and sat in court with Ms. Sullivan, this was a few rows behind Mia Felder's parents. Before the case was called, Mr. Rees handed Ms. Sullivan some paperwork. There was no other media in court.

There was a third person there that night. Dozier's on and off girlfriend, Luccille Wetzel, who testified at the preliminary hearing. 

Allan Dollison recognized for one of top 100 jury verdicts in Los Angeles

Recently, Mr. Dollison received a plaque recognizing one of his verdicts among the top 100 jury verdicts which was also covered by the Daily Journal. I have included the case summary. 

Five busted in Marin County for being unlicensed and placing bids as high as $15,000 for residential work

No idea what happened to the Humboldt unlicensed contractors referred by the CSLB to the Humboldt County DA. I tried to find out but CSLB  issued a notice to appear in criminal court to five individuals from Novato.

Vinelink restored, thank you Captain Christian

The last week has been busy but the last two days have been very for everyone including me sending two emails and a follow up in person, Humboldt Correctional Facility Captain Duane Christian worked diligently since last evening, keeping me informed and HCSO jail is back online. Media, attorneys, bail bonds and most importantly victims rely on this information. 

This message was sent from the Vine Service Center to Humboldt County Correctional Facility.

We have restored automated victim notification services to CA Humboldt County Correctional Facility. You are no longer required to use the Emergency Override Procedure to update your offender data and to make victim notifications.

Your agency has been enabled for Search and Registration. The public can search for offenders and register for notification by phone or online through www.VINELink.com. Automated notifications to your registered victims will resume.

Thank you for your patience and assistance in this matter.

VINE Service Center

Jail staff is busy enough and yet they work hard in helping people with information and are polite under stressful conditions. We have good people working in law enforcement and the courthouse they deserve recognition and not to be lumped in with the bad apples of this week.

The rest of the media routinely does nothing when court calendars are down, Vinelink is down, jail reports are down or court computers are down. The rest of the media all use it but as usual are lazy. Certain media outlets get promoted and funded because they have local, incompetent yahoos behind them who benefit from their selective coverage. The same fools who hold Humboldt back.

Where was the outrage when KRCR reporter was illegally detained? What did the rest of the local "media" do? Nothing as usual. Using "media" for most Humboldt grown "outlets" is an insult to the profession. KRFH did reporting that was vital and from the scene in this last week. That was journalism. 

Palavi Vainuku rearrested 10 days after he gets 3 cases dismissed and a plea despite multiple arrests and failures to appear

 

Palavi Junior Vainuku was arrested and booked by HCSO at 12:02 a.m. for PC 1203.2(a)(2) probation violation and HS 11350(a) possession of a controlled substance. There were numerous continuances before that plea. I wasted a lot of time following his other cases, he gets a plea on April 22 and is back in custody on May 1. He was released on OR.

Hey Mikey and Gavin, Calpoly police broke your CA law when they arrested a reporter

 

Of the 25 arrests last night, only four names appeared on today's jail log. The booking charges for Molly Taylor, Launa Rose Wyrd, Ava Townsend and KRCR/KAEF reporter Adelmi Ysita are the same with one less charge for Launa . Adelmi is a reporter and according to a bill authored by Mike McGuire and signed by Gavin Newsom should not have been arrested. Adelmi was told she isn't being charged. That is moot. She should have never been arrested and while she was working. According to a transcript on ABC 7 Chicago, not even allowed to call her boss. 

Many media reported on Senate Bill 98 and summarized it, I chose this excerpt from Sacramento Bee because it includes both Gavin Newsom and Mike McGuire. Did Mikey forget the bill he authored when he sent out the press release about Cal Poly Humboldt today? CalPoly police officer S. Kotterman and interim Vice Chief Janelle Jackson arrested KRCR/ KAEF reporter Adelmi Ruiz. This isn't Samantha Luna, Janelle. You have worked for multiple local law enforcement and gone on trainings. We all saw and heard the livestream and your arrest of Adelmi. To say, I am disappointed is an understatement. We had very friendly, professional, respectful interactions before. I have posted about your trainings and conferences no one else reported. I cannot even find Kotterman on the Cal Poly police list on the website but the name is familiar. Kotterman is the one who ziptied Adelmi. Still waiting to hear why RHBB and LOCO weren't arrested for being on campus? 

"Police must allow journalists access to closed-off demonstrations and protests, under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom."

"The new law, Senate Bill 98, requires that journalists be given unfettered access to closed-off protests, and prohibits law enforcement officers from assaulting, interfering or obstructing journalists from covering such events."

"Journalists at such scenes 'shall not be cited for the failure to disperse,violation of a curfew or resisting arrest,' according to a California Senate floor analysis of the bill."

"The bill’s author, Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, argued that while California law permitted journalists access to closed areas during emergencies and natural disasters, those protections didn’t extend to covering demonstrations, marches, protests and rallies."-- Sacramento Bee

I am not posting the entire Cal Poly Humboldt 8:13 p.m. update, especially since they released different numbers of arrest and who was arrested to different media and news of certain arrests like the faculty member I posted hours ago. Whatever modified commencement is you can check on the website. I am including the part about arrest numbers and their claim of no reported injuries.

Per Sherriff Honsal, 13 of those arrested have bailed out of jail

This per Sheriff William Honsal at 1:41 p.m. The Cal Poly Humboldt press release earlier said 25 people were arrested. 

The pro Gaza supporters which is what I will call them from now on have every right to have their space and not talk to any media. From what I have seen at the jail, their interactions on the ground floor with HCSO staff, they have been very respectful, trying to find out bail information and procedures.

2:20 One of the security guards on the 5th street entrance , Josh just snitched on a pro Gaza supporter to First District Supervisor Rex Bohn who is headed out. Now, he can claim he was doing his job. Somehow he knew or claims hat is one of the women arrested. She may not know any security procedures. Don't be all nice to her than suck up to Rex. Josh is being all palsy with the protestors. Rex saw me, Josh thought I had left. Rex claimed the "protesters were told to disperse 7 times." Josh was complaining about the "protestors" and according to Rex, "they are where they are supposed to be." Rex also hi fived Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees.

I am sure next time I see Josh, he will have something to say. I will tell him that I wrote what I observed. All other security guards do their job, exchange some pleasantries while Josh is yakking it up with the DA employees, the County employees and sucking up to the CAO and supervisors. Josh, they didn't offer you the CO job and they won't do anything else for you. I am so over two faced,  back stabbing people taking advantage because they have some kind of "authority." At least, Cartman is funny.

"Fire Roger Rees", Cal Poly Humboldt professor rejects bond, goes on hunger strike

Deputy Roger Rees just told,"I hope your job is gone next year." I heard someone laugh from the direction where Roger Rees is standing.

The other images sent to via a tip. Some names match arrests from today's jail log.

Honking at 12:03 still in support of students and Gaza supporters. At 12:38, the same support. Roger Rees still here. Ryan Hutson from RHBB just got here. At 12:42, Roger Rees told me he is on his own time. Maybe Ryan Burns should clean out his ear wax because there was loud honking as recent as 2:56 when I left the courthouse. You can hear it on at least two of the many videos I posted. Just Roger Rees and one guy left, two left. Few pro Gaza supporters also left but some are scattered around the Courthouse.

I have contacted Sheriff Honsal about claims that students and those arrested are being denied phone calls and are being separated.

Part of Sheriff Honsal's response: "Thank you for your question, so you can dispel any rumors out there.  No arrestee has been denied the use of a phone.   When you arrest 25 people, the first that get processed and booked will be the first to make phone calls.     All arrestees have been cooperative and they are making their calls within the 3 hours of being booked. "

This is more of our email exchange.

I had a conversation with someone at the courthouse who said, why dont the students put this energy into an issue affecting the community. I didnt tell him, why don't you? But I did say, why don't people with money and power in start making a difference and take on Rex Bohn or Michelle Bushnell. This person could have made a difference in exposing ousted Gregory Kreis. He did not. The same person, who like many benefitted from the posts, the booking photos on my blog and was able to get a name and recover stolen property. Bail bonds, law enforcement, businesses, realtors, attorneys many people benefit from my work.In return, they invest nothing.  Lot of people appreciate my work but it has been the same people who financially show that appreciation whether they are advertisers or subscribers. After today, this man probably won't talk to me but he is typical of the many in Humboldt who whine and complain about the very people I expose yet do nothing. Anonymously anyone can kvetch,  comment, attack, spread lies about me or about these students because they got told inconvenient truths. What pisses these weak losers is that despite all their attacks, they see their efforts to wear down decent people fail; the perseverance  angers them and they respond with brute force and abuse and in numbers like cowards.
