No other media covered the defense petition for outpatient treatment in Kimberly Felder's 2017 case. It was granted by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Timothy Canning last year.
Felder was convicted of attempted murder of her own daughter and sent to the State Hospital
I noticed a hearing on today's calendar which was not a review hearing date. Retired Humboldt Superior Court Judge Chris Wilson has been in Courtroom 4 this week which is assigned to Judge Canning.
Today, Judge Wilson made an interim order to revoke Felder's release from the State Hospital until Judge Canning can hear arguments from counsel. See court minutes for more details.
Deputy District Attorney Carolyn Schaffer is the prosecutor for this case. Deputy Public Defender Ehvan Schectman is now handling the case for his office.
Next court date is on 3/11/26.
Let's hope Judge Canning reconsiders his decision to release Felder from the State Hospital. After covering hearings on the release of several sexually violent predators and the dismal failure of the State Hospital to monitor them; I don't believe any report and the State Hospital's credibility is worse than a non functioning toilet.
