Gregory Kreis loses another court appointment;statutory rape suspect hires Weaverville attorney

 



Since my last post in which I added a 4/2/26 update, there have been some developments in statutory rape suspect Josalyn Spagel's case.

Two more dates and hearings were added; 4/6 and 4/20 and the trial setting for 4/29 was vacated. 

With the power outage, number of cases and all other news; I waited until today to do a new post.

On 4/6, supervised release was terminated. Trial confirmation was scheduled for 4/20 and jury trial for 4/27. As I reported previously, both Public Defender offices had conflicts; Gregory Kreis was appointed.

On 4/20, Kreis was relieved; Weaverville attorney Ms. Kristiana Wright made an appearance. If court minutes are accurate; Ms. Wright has been retained. Spagel had mentioned she could hire an attorney at arraignment. It took a while and instead of postponing arraignment and changing status to no bail; taxpayers have now paid for a public defender and Kreis.

On 4/23, defense requested continuance which was granted by Retired Humboldt Superior Court. Trial confirmation is on 5/11; jury trial on 5/18.

Different Deputy DAs have appeared on the case for hearings.
