Criminals should not dictate the system; "judge shopping" adding to an already chaotic busy Humboldt court calendar

 

Two cases were continued from today to tomorrow. In the Georgi Tonev case for good cause. Both the DA and defense had valid reasons.

In the Analia Martinez case, the Public Defender made an oral motion in court to disqualify Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Killoran because they knew that repeat offender Analia Martinez stood no chance with a law and order judge. Judge Cockrum is the one who let Analia Martinez out on diversion. She failed. Judge Cockrum remanded her on Monday. 

Tomorrow is another busy day. Updates on these two cases for today will be added to previous posts. Depending on what happens with Tonev and Martinez, tomorrow maybe new posts or more updates to the previous post. It is already another busy day tomorrow with another 20 court cases, all day long. Continuances like the Analia Martinez case are unnecessary because "judge shopping" does not change the facts of repeat offender's action. It does endanger public safety.

The judges are exhausted, the attorneys are exhausted, the court staff is exhausted and law enforcement is exhausted. My readers already know I am exhausted. After 12 years, this schedule and chaos is impossible and the ones who created this mess aka elected officials and the soft on crime California Governor Gavin Newsom are in their ivory towers letting the criminals work the system.
