CalPoly Humboldt's blowhard response to ACLU via their lawyer is meaningless because their actions prior to the protests speak for themselves

 

Over two weeks later, Cal Poly Humboldt responded today to the ACLU's May 4, 2024 letter. 

Universities nationwide and American politicians handled these protests despicably. HSU's arrogance since they got the "Cal Poly Humboldt" designation they never deserved only further emboldened them because they think they own Arcata and Humboldt. They have money and political backing and like most entitled bullies, they know people will remain silent out of fear or because they are paid tools who have sold their soul for a penny. 

At least some people in this country are waking up and seeing there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans when both parties allow foreign interests to dictate American policy and freedom of speech.  If you are such a "patriot" then you would be speaking up for freedom and civil liberties and not just express outrage when your opinion is silenced and it affects your tiny, selfish bubble.

Social media is useful but not when the focus is on the wrong people and the motivation is an agenda

 

In 2020, I did a post on convicted sex offender Shawn Lee Perrot who was arrested on several sex  charges involving a minor. In 2022, I did a post on him suing Humboldt County. Perrot has many aliases. His Megan's Law listing has a SVP designation. SVP as in sexually violent predator?  Court documents there was a SVP filing in 2020 but dismissed in 2022. Not all court documents are in e court.

With 23 searches and cases coming up in a name search for Perrot,I will update the post with court records when I have time. Where were all these keyboard warriors and those sharing screenshots in 2002, 2004, 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2024?

The person and persons who created this hysteria on social media about a ribbon cutting and posted the same information from Megan's Law should have done some in depth research on Perrot but that actually requires effort, sacrifice and takes time.

In 2004, former Humboldt County DA Deputy Andrew Isaac prosecuted Perot. According to court records, "the People withdraw the motion to commit, defendant is released to parole only."

Judy Cunha seems to be the only defendant in Ingomar wrongful death lawsuit inching towards resolution in three years

 

The case management conference scheduled on 5/10/24 in the 2022 Ingomar Club wrongful death lawsuit was continued to 9/9/24. A  "conclusion was reached" regarding defendant Judy Cunha and parties may try  mediation. A partial dismissal pertaining only to Cunha was granted on 3/3/23

This lawsuit was filed after 9 year old boy who was found unresponsive in the Ingomar Club pool in 2021. The status of Judy Cunha's license for Cunha's Small Family Home, court documents for the negligence and wrongful death civil lawsuit filed on 7/19/22 and the list of defendants in that lawsuit are in previous coverage. Since 2021, I have been the only one to follow up and report on the incident and lawsuit.

If this DA administration can resolve a molestation case with 10 felonies, what is the difference between the Eads and former Gallegos administration?

Callaway posted bond after being arrested and booked. The plea is for no additional jail time and no other requirements are listed on the plea form.

Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm is the prosecutor. Mr. Michael Robinson is Callaway's attorney. Judge Joyce Hinrichs took Callaway's plea.

Alcohol, drug addiction and machismo about firearm ownership during jury selection in Daniel Dozier's homicide case

First, it was Greg Hill, then Tim Marsolan, now Richard Bise joins DA investigative team

 

I reported Greg Hill going over to the DA's office last year. This morning, I saw Timothy Marsolan who was here for the 9:15 preliminary hearing calendar on a case working with Deputy District Attorney Trent Timm. I just found out a few minutes ago that former EPD Detective Rick Bise who is currently a HCSO Deputy Sheriff and Courtroom 1 bailiff last day is May 24. After the Memorial Day weekend, on May 28, he will be DA Investigator Bise. The DA's office is lucky to have all of them. I hope they put that experience to good use.

Kreis to practice law starting May 28? Will Governor Newsom appoint April Van Dyke as interim judge this year?

 

I reported last month that in a court document Gregory Kreis claimed he will have no income starting 5/27/24. I also wrote about him renting a law office locally. Today, I heard he has atleast one family law client and will be practicing law effective 5/28/24. I checked his family law case. There has been no filing indicating a change in his income.

The Commission on Judicial Performance proceedings have not concluded. The California State Bar still lists him as a Judge.

Why is Gregory Kreis' fiancee Tanya Ellis, who still works in self help at Humboldt Superior Court serving papers in his divorce case?

 

Why is Gregory Kreis' fiancee Tanya Ellis, who still works in self help at Humboldt Superior Court serving papers in his divorce case? In a previous post, I have documents filed by Kreis in which he listed Ellis as his fiancee. He misspelled the word in the filing. How do we know this was not done while she is supposed to be working? 

An email was sent to HCSO by Sam Williams and you will want to read what he has to say about HCSO and the DA

In my coverage of former HCSO Lt. Sam Williams, I made a reference about the political nature of this case and a reference to DA Investigator Steve Dunn. I have heard about Dunn's bias from more than one source. I wrote my observations about the court case before I saw this email yesterday and just my own knowledge of politics, law enforcement and the court system for decades.
