Currently, the court has ruled the enough evidence exists to bring about a trial in the Attorney General, Jerry Brown's elder abuse case against a nurse, doctor and CEO from the Kern Valley Healthcare District.
Pamela Ott, former KVHD CEO, Dr. Hoshang Pormir, and Nurse Gwen Hughes all appeared in court this week for the preliminary hearing. Attorney's for the defendants, Jim Faulkner, Bruce Blythe, both local Bakersfield criminal lawyers, and Donald Etra, the big gun, former attorney for Ralph Nader, stuck tightly together as Steve Muni of the AG office and investigator, Donny Fong, got ready to present their evidence.
Obviously, the Kern County judge found weight to the evidence, and after two and half days, it looks like a trial could be forthcoming.
Becca MacLaren, with Attorney General Brown's Press Office, still working on some details, offered a short quote regarding the status of the case.
"The major outcome of yesterday's preliminary hearing is that all three defendants were held to answer on all charged felony counts and enhancements. "Held to answer" means that the court found sufficient probable cause to proceed to trial. The next step is the arraignment, which will take place on Oct. 15 at the Kern County Superior Court."

ReplyDeleteHey Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteIs that you I see out there walking across the lake?
Let he who hath not sinned, cast the first stone.
Are you really that worthy?
Justice seeker-
ReplyDeleteMost are more worthy than Ott and Hughes- who deserve to be castigated and stoned.
It doesn't take a non- sinner to want to see evil doers get their "just deserts"
If you want to quote the Bible- it goes both ways.
As they say...."an eye for an eye", or.......
"Whatever he has done must be done to him" (Lev. 24:19, NIV)
What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? When was your kangaroo court held and why wasn't the public invited?
ReplyDeleteJustice for the elderly-
ReplyDeleteAs Americans, when accused of a crime we are given the PRESUMPTION of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.
Put another way: Innocent Until Proven Guilty - First, it should be pointed out that if you did it, you are guilty, no matter what. Therefore, you are not innocent unless you are truly innocent. However, our system presumes innocence, which means that legally speaking, even the obviously guilty are treated as though they are innocent, until they are proven otherwise.
Outside of a court of law, we are entitled by the first amendment to form opinions however we like. It is not "innocent until proven guilty". If that were the case how could we lock someone up before they have went to trial.
Most people don't understand this concept as it really is. If you were Innocent until proven guilty, no one would be in jail until the trial was over.
Of course if the courts really thought the accused was innocent, they wouldn't be on trial - they must withhold judgment i.e.; punishment - until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
As for your remark "kangaroo court"- it's called public opinion.
You know what they say about opinions. They are just like a**holes. Everybody has one.
