After one day of deliberation, Courtroom 3 jurors convicted Rosenea Bennett of Count 2 possession of smoking device.
The jury was deadlocked on Count 1 VC 23152 (f) driving under the influence of a drug.
Deputy District Attorney Brenton Schick is the lead prosecutor and this was his first DUI misdemeanor trial in Humboldt before Humboldt Superior Court Judge Steven Steward. Deputy DA Rebecca Buckley-Stein is second chair.
Today for the verdict, Deputy DA Frankie Olivares was present with Mr. Schick.
Bennett's attorney is Deputy Public Defender Ehvan Schectman. This is the second mixed verdict in a misdemeanor trial I have covered where the defendant is represented by Mr. Schectman.
Defense PC 1385 motion for dismissal of Count 1 was denied by Judge Steward. I am not covering the retrial for Count 1.
