Based on what I know so far about the alleged incident leading to Cass Bell's arrest; I am curious if the DA will file charges. If the DA does; will they agree to a resolution or be able to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt?

 

I was the first one to report on Cass Bell's arrest by Eureka Police Department. As of 11/14, the Humboldt County DA had not received a report and no charges are filed.

When the DA's office receives the report, they will have more information than the media and the public. Based on what I know so far about the alleged incident leading to Cass Bell's arrest; I am curious if the DA will file charges. If the DA does; will they agree to a resolution or be able to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt?

I am not going to reveal my sources except to say that it is from people in the know about the incident; and if I know about it; then this information is also out in the community.

The disclaimer is that at least one of the sources  is  pro Bell and was so before this incident. The other source may or may not be pro Bell but is a private investigator and may have his own biases about EPD.

According to one source, the alleged victim is J.B, ex law enforcement (not EPD, was with another agency) but has some "connections with EPD"; not my words but what I was told. 

My other sources confirmed what the first source told me which is the alleged victim has a connection to the "fighter community"; local gyms; both Bell and the alleged victim were drinking and from what I can gather by the little information I know, who provoked who and whether there a self defense argument will probably be factors in whether the DA files charges. There is video evidence which I am sure the DA will have access to before making a decision.

What I can say for certain is that this is another local situation of drama within the community and different camps who will not be happy no matter what happens because everyone has their biases instead of looking at this objectively and according to the law.
