Thanks to Judge Killoran and Deputy DA Rees, the public is protected from attempted murder suspect and convicted, repeat offender James LaBranche

 

Attempted murder and criminal threats suspect James LaBranche already has a conviction for domestic violence.

At his bail hearing on 1/15, alleged victim Jane Doe asked for the criminal protective order to be modified to peaceful contact. Deputy Public Defender Ben McLaughlin represents LaBranche.

The public should thank Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees and Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Killoran. OR and supervised release was denied by Judge Killoran and LaBranche's custody status changed to no bail.

A pre trial hearing is scheduled on 1/20/26 to modify the protective order. Preliminary hearing is on 1/23/26.
