Root Birimisa, Briyan Marquardt, Clayton Miller, Jose Granados, Daniel Epperson and other exclusives from Friday in person court coverage; the cliff notes version

 

Since 3/12/25, there have been 14  continuances in alleged molestor and rapist Root Birimisa's case because defense wasted time getting him another mental health evaluation at taxpayer's expense which resulted in diddly. On 5/14, there was another continuance to to 5/19 for the Readiness Conference. That minor update was added like all others to the February 4 post.

There was a motion to continue in Briyan Marquardt's case, this hearing was added after last update. You can wait and read what Humboldt Superior Court Judge Steven Steward said because the motion itself is not newsworthy.

Clayton Miller's case; again a continuance requested but Judge Steward's remarks are what is made hours of sitting in a courtroom worth my time.

Jose Granados' case was on for setting of preliminary hearing. Defense motion to terminate protective order was denied. Again, worth reading for Judge Steward's ruling and remarks.

Lloyd Snyder, Travis Watson and Felix Arbaugh are all minor updates and will be added to previous posts.

These are all cases I extensively covered and every hearing. I will do a new post on Daniel Epperson's preliminary hearing for his latest case. I have not decided whether I will do a new post on  Marquardt, Miller or Granados.

I was the only one in the courtroom. I took extensive notes. Epperson and Miller both have several cases. 

Most of you will move on because you got the basics. For those who want details, you can wait to see for the new posts and go check previous posts in the next couple of days.
