Jason Warren jury trial date set for September 28

This morning Judge Marilyn Miles who had been assigned to be the trial Judge for the Jason Warren case recused herself. The case was sent to Presiding Judge Joyce Hinrichs to decide further dates and assignment of another Judge. That was scheduled this afternoon at 2 p.m. and the case was called a little after 3 p.m.

The case that was scheduled to to jury trial on September 14 is the case in which Mr. Glenn Brown is representing Warren.

Mr. Brown said he was clearing his calendar for this trial, DA Maggie Fleming said that in discussions they decided on the September 28 jury trial date so that they do not split jury pools with the Jason Arreaga homicide jury trial starting next week.

Due to scheduling of other cases and Mr. Brown being in another trial, the new jury trial date is September 28 and the case has been assigned to the home court, to Judge Timothy Cissna.

Judge Joyce Hinrichs went over other cases with limited time waivers or not time waivers that are scheduled in September and October and the procedure on how a case is assigned to a trial Judge, disqualifications and why it was being sent to the home court. She also mentioned that while she is not disqualifying herself now, that if the case was self-assigned to her, she disclosed on the record that she knows Terri Vroman-Little, one of the family members of one of the victims in this case.

Pre-trial is September 16 at 3 p.m., Trial Assignment is September 25 at 8:30 a.m. and Jury trial is September 28 at 8:30 a.m.

DA Maggie Fleming is prosecuting the case. Mr. Glenn Brown and Mr. Kevin Robinson are representing Jason Warren on his cases, one in which he is charged with assault, the other he is charged with homicide.

  1. It is interesting that Judge Miles felt she had a conflict and case is now assigned to Judge Cissna, who of course granted Warren the infamous Cruz Waiver that lead to this murder spree.

    1. The Cruz waiver granted under former DA Paul Gallegos in a case prosecuted by DDA Zack Curtis in a plea deal. None of the media reports say who the defense attorney was or the details of the plea agreement or rationale for Cruz waiver for a violent felon. I was not covering the courts at that time but I would have included those details. I do in every case I cover.
