ER Mad River dog trial ends
John and Stacy Malcolm found not guilty on all charges.
The verdict came on the heels of a motion for mistrial filed by Trinity County Deputy District Attorney Eric Heryford, after he learned early Thursday that the Malcolms’ defense attorney, Timothy Noal Gray, had failed to disclose to the court that he was currently representing Bugenig in a civil case against Humboldt County Public Guardian Ramon Herrera.
Both Bugenig and Herrera testified during the trial — Bugenig for the defense and Herrera for the prosecution.
Heryford said Trinity County Superior Court Judge Anthony Edwards denied the motion, but was in the process of forming an instruction to the jury to disclose the information when the jury returned with its verdict.
