It is always good to see Judge Miles who was was at Humboldt Superior Court the week starting 5/27 to 5/30. Every judge should not release any sex offender who fails to register. 

It happens too often in Humboldt even with repeat offenders; something noted by few attorneys who have practiced in other counties all over California.

6/6/25: On the day of his preliminary hearing, Wright resolved his case by pleading to failure to register as a sex offender as a misdemeanor instead of the felony he was originally charged with and was placed on one year probation by Judge Kaleb Cockrum.
