San Francisco Superior Court Judge Kenneth Wine continued a bail hearing Wednesday, necessitating the accused’s continued custody while he reviewed the case. This decision occurred despite both the prosecution and defense agreeing the charges were non-violent offenses warranting reconsideration under Kowalczyk.

During an arraignment hearing in Yolo County Superior Court, Judge Stephen L. Mock reduced an accused’s bail from $1,000 to $100 after the defense argued the accused earned only $10,000 annually. The court, however, denied release on supervised own recognizance, with Deputy District Attorney Martha Wais opposing release due to the accused’s history of failing to appear in court. The accused, facing a felony charge of second-degree burglary and possessing multiple prior convictions, will proceed to an Early Disposition Conference on July 15, aimed at resolving the case through a plea agreement.

A Yolo County Superior Court judge denied a defendant’s request for release on his own recognizance or a reduction in bail, citing a history of non-appearance in court and persistent violations of judicial directives, notwithstanding defense assertions linking the defendant’s conduct to substance abuse.
