Convicted murderer Jake Combs was scheduled to be sentenced on 7/31. He waived preliminary hearing in his 2025 case on July 15. Arraignment on information is scheduled tomorrow in the 2025 case. I just noticed a motion to continue filed by the defense in the 2022 homicide case for tomorrow. Both cases are on calendar. I will do an update tomorrow and add it to this post.
7/24/26: Deputy DA Carolyn Schaffer appeared on the case for the People since Senior Deputy DA Whitney Timm is in trial. I walked in to the courtroom as the date was being called. The motion to continue in the 2022 case was continued by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Killoran to 7/28 to be heard by Judge Kaleb Cockrum.
Combs was arraigned in the 2025 case. Readiness Conference is on 9/2/26; jury trial on 9/14.
Ms. Schaffer was speaking with Katrina Earley and three others outside Courtroom 5 at 9:32 a.m.
7/28/26: Motion to continue continued to 7/29 by Court.
7/29/16: Defense motion to continue granted by Judge Cockrum. The 2022 homicide case will trail the 2025 case with pre trial on 9/2 and 9/14. Sentencing on 9/23.
