Since 2018, the Humboldt County DA disqualified Judge Neel 131 times

There is a prima facie hearing in the Daryl Jones case this morning. It is on at the same time as other cases.

8:32 a.m. Senior Deputy District Attorney Rees went into Courtroom 3 for the Atkins case.first and he is there after this hearing concluded. That we waited for Conflict Counsel Supervising Attorney Meagaan O'Connell. At 8:37, the hearing proceeded. For those who want the summary, DA lost to Ms. O'Connell. The highlights are since 2018, the DA disqualified and filed a 170.6 against Humboldt Superior Court Presiding Judge Kelly Neel 131 times. I covered a lot of what was said in arguments in previous posts in detail. Read the June 16 post because it has most of what Mr. Rees, Ms. O'Connell said in court and the case Humboldt Superior Court Assistant Judge Timothy Canning referenced. I reported on this blanket disqualification in 2023.

Prima facie hearing for mental health diversion is scheduled on 7/31 in front of Judge Neel due to both attorney being unavailable in July on certain days. 

If you want details, they will be on the blog after I check on other cases this morning.
