Bruce “Jason” Stallings-Hunsucker to stand trial for murder

Judge: Sufficient evidence for fourth suspect to stand trial in Willow Creek homicide; Stallings-Hunsucker held on murder charge - Thadeus Greenson/The Times-Standard

A judge ruled Wednesday there is sufficient evidence to hold Bruce “Jason” Stallings-Hunsucker to stand trial on a murder charge stemming from the May 2011 shooting death of volunteer fireman Darrell Hanger in Willow Creek.

Humboldt County Superior Court Judge Dale Reinholtsen also found there was probable cause to hold the Hoopa resident to answer to charges of burglary, conspiracy and taking a vehicle without the owner's permission. Reinholtsen did not issue a holding order on charges of attempted murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to Humboldt County Deputy District Attorney David Nims.

Defense attorney Neal Sanders said his client was also not held to answer to a number of special allegations and enhancements that he personally used a firearm in the commission of the charged offenses.

  1. I hope the judge makes this a legal case and do his job and get a change the area and/or makle sure that the jury has no affiliation and unlike the surber case which hands down should have had the jury sequestered and they weren't well they better be on this case because the media has done nothing but put them down not saying anything good about them and just really playing one sided with the whole volunteer fire fighter thing acting like if your a volunteer fire fighter your an angel Im not saying that he wasn't a good guy I didn't know him but the media for sure effects this case.
