The Baker family has hired award winning and top criminal defense attorney Patrik Griego, to represent them in the case against David Lockhart. He was successful in getting the city and the People's suit against former EPD officer Adam Laird dismissed. He has successfully represented and won cases on behalf of many victims.

David Lockhart charged with vehicular manslaughter led away in cuffs in front of victim's family and friends; "What a difference this new DA has made"

David Lockhart was supposed to be arraigned on May 14. That date was vacated. Yesterday, when he was finally arraigned, he would have liked to stay out of custody, however, he was led away in cuffs into custody in front of the victim's family and friends.

There is an OR/Bail hearing set for 2 p.m this afternoon in Courtroom 2. Intervention is on June 4 at 3 p.m. and Preliminary hearing is June 10.

"What a difference this new DA has made," is what one of the victim's friends told me outside court. They are very pleased with DA Maggie Fleming and her office's handling  of the case.
