I stand corrected. It was Cody Hunt, Napa DA.Do I think there was zero backroom colusion, no.The singluar minor charge was ridiculous considering the gravity of the situation and the charges he was...

Many aspects of the criminal justice system seem absurd to me too.

It is not pleasant to watch Efren squirm. However, don't be fooled. The eleventh hour called for a stellar performance on his part, and I dare say he ventured to deliver. In the end,...

They're having trouble finding jurors that are un-aware of this case. It's possible the case may be moved out of county.

It will be very interesting to see the gender makeup of the jury.

Sorry, but "peeking" is a minor misdemeanor, however important this case may be to you.

I think that an extraordinary amount of attention will be placed on the 911 tapes - every nuanced teased out. Not that she couldn't "fabricate" the calls, but that too will be determined. Their...

Correct, and the PD spinning, bias and favoritism has been deplorable. The PD first reported how Carrillo was actively plea bargaining for 2 full days, followed by a spin that he was too ethical a...
