Letters from Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 were read by Ms. Joanne Carter on Day 2 of the hearing today on defense request for mental health diversion for Daryl Jones. Other letters were accepted by Humboldt Superior Court Presiding Judge Kelly Neel. Some letters by parents were rejected. Dr. Benedetto Brunetto who evaluated Jones is on the stand testifying which will resume after the mid-afternoon break.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees is the prosecutor for the case. Conflict Counsel Supervising Attorney Meagan O'Connell is Jones' attorney.
Ms. Carter has been here at every hearing. There are 10 people here in person.
I covered the preliminary hearing in detail. I have included court documents in previous coverage. The only new information is the doctor's testimony.
Judge Neel took the matter under submission. Ruling is scheduled for 8/21.
