^ Thanks for that Adub.
Looks like Isaiah is going to plead "not guilty" tomorrow. The defense's investigator is probably working overtime looking for possible alternate scenarios.
From the Union Democrat today:
A 12-year-old Valley Springs boy charged in the stabbing death of his younger sister will plead not guilty Wednesday, defense attorney Mark Reichel said.
He appeared in court for arraignment May 15 but the hearing was continued to give Reichel and his law partner, Steve Plesser, time to review the evidence.
Reichel said Friday afternoon that they had not yet reviewed all of the evidence.
A detention hearing will also be held Wednesday, at which the court will determine whether the boy must remain in custody. He is held at a juvenile detention facility in El Dorado County and is not able to post bail before the hearing, Reichel said.
The court will also set a date for the boy to return for a jurisdictional hearing setting.
At the jurisdictional hearing, a judge will determine if the boy is guilty of the charges.
Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested Leila’s brother May 11 at the sheriff’s Valley Springs substation, following a two-week investigation. The 12-year-old was booked on a charge of murder.
Wednesday’s hearing is scheduled for 1:15 p.m. (PST).
