Yolo County Superior Court Judge Samuel T. McAdam instructed the jury to disregard prosecutorial comments regarding Carlos Reales Dominguez’s nationality and background during his retrial. The directive followed the defense’s filing of a California Racial Justice Act petition, which alleged the prosecution improperly emphasized these aspects. Dominguez faces two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in connection with a series of stabbings.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Matthew Kahn held an accused individual to answer on felony charges of attempted mayhem and using violence against a deputy sheriff following a July 13 preliminary hearing in Department 11.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Lianne M. Dumas set bail at $25,000 and issued a bench warrant, stayed until July 24, for an accused individual during a recent bail hearing.

Judge Dumas acknowledged the individual’s physical and mental health conditions, requesting a report on their status.
