COMING UP ON NEXT ON H. KAY ESCARDA AND SHAROLYN HUTTON JOAN US FROM THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS TO TELL US ABOUT DEMOCRACY ITSELF.

FIVE YEARS ON WE TAKE A LONG ABOUT.

COMING UP ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

>> THIS IS HEADLINE HUMBOLDT I'M JAMES FAULK.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

WE HAVE A PACKED FEATURING A AN INTERVIEW WITH A COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION THAT STERLING NONPARTISAN FOR SUPPORTING DEMOCRACY AND MAKING US ALL BETTER.

KAY ESCARDA AND SHAROLYN HUTTON FOR THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AN UPCOMING EVENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

ALSO AND A RALLY WAS HELD THIS EVENING TO MARK THE OCCASION.

WE HAVE A SPECIAL REPORT FROM TWO KEET CONTRIBUTORS THAT THE OUR KAW DAU AND THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY'S DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S.

>> KAY ESCARDA, AND SHAROLYN HUTTON.

YOU REPRESENT THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS.

BUT CAN YOU SORT OF BACK UP FOR OUR VIEWER'S SAKE EXPLAIN WHAT THE LEAGUE IS.

LET'S START WITH YOU.

WELL, THE LEAGUE IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT CAME OUT OF THE VOTE FOR WOMEN DRIVE THAT TOOK 75 YEARS.

AND THEN THEY TURNED THEIR ENERGIES INTO FORMING INFORMING THE PUBLIC.

FIRST IT WAS TO TEACH WOMEN HOW TO VOTE BECAUSE THEY HADN'T HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY.

THEN IT BECAME EDUCATING THE PUBLIC BROADLY.

THEY WENT FROM A PURELY DEMOCRATIC MOTIVE OF TRYING TO DEMOCRATIC OF TRYING TO INFORM THE VOTERS.

>> YOU COULD SAY ONE OF OUR PRIMARY MISSION IS TO HAVE AN INFORMED CITIZENRY.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE LEAGUE DO?

YOU HAVE MORE THAN 200 MEMBERS.

AND SO WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF THE LEAGUE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY?

WELL, WE HAVE TWO ARMS AND ONE IS VOTER SERVICE.

AND INFORMING THEM BY REGISTERING AND DOING PROS AND CONS.

PUBLIC FORUMS FOR INITIATIVES.

>> BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE.

WE DON'T TAKE A POSITION ON IT.

WE JUST INFORM THE PUBLIC ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE AND THEN PEOPLE MAKE UP THEIR OWN MIND.

>> WHICH IS AN AMAZING APPROACH THESE DAYS.

>> THE OTHER ARM IS TO STUDY AND BECOME INFORMED OURSELVES ON AN ISSUE THAT GOVERNMENT CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH TO.

IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING GOVERNMENT CAN EFFECT.

AND THEN WHEN WE STUDY IT AND SOMETIMES THEY'RE ALWAYS DECIDED BY THE MEMBERSHIP, AND THEN THE STUDIES ARE USUALLY A YEAR LONG, SOMETIMES TWO YEARS LONG SO WE DO AN IN-DEPTH STUDY.

WE DON'T VOTE ON IT.

WE TALK IT OUT.

GET INFORMATION ON BOTH SIDES UNTIL WE COME TO A CONSENSUS.

AND THEN WE WRITE UP SOMETHING.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

BOARD OF EDUCATION, CITY COUNCIL.

>> NOW THE LEAGUE HAS MEMBERS FROM BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES.

>> WE NEVER ASK.

WE DON'T DISCUSS IT AT ALL.

>> YOU MOVED HERE IN 2005 AND JOINED THE LEAGUE.

SO DID MY HUSBAND.

THERE WAS A BOAT SHOWDOWN AT THE BY THE CENTER.

AND DAVE AND I AND CAROL MASTERSON WHO MANY PEOPLE KNEW.

SHE WAS REGISTERING VOTERS, AND WE HAD JUST MOVED UP HERE.

AND IT'S WE KNEW WE HAD TO REREGISTER.

HERE WAS THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS BOOTH.

WELL HERE.

AND THEN AND HERE'S A MEMBERSHIP FORM YOU DAVE.

AND HE JOINED.

WE BOTH JOINED RIGHT THEN.

WE BOTH JOINED RIGHT THEN.

IT IS A YEAR LONG TERM OF PRESIDENT.

>> I'M CO-PRESIDENT.

I'VE BEEN PRESIDENT IN THE PAST.

>> HOW IS THAT EXPERIENCE.

>> BUSY.

EXTREMELY BUSY.

ONE OF THE THINGS TO REMEMBER THOSE WHO WERE ON THE BOARD CANNOT TALK ABOUT WHO WE VOTE FOR.

WE CAN'T DO THAT.

BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO MAINTAIN OUR NONPARTISAN POSITIONS.

>> WELL I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT -- AT IMPORTANT REASON WHY THE PEOPLE TRUST THE LEAGUE ITSELF.

IT'S NOT A PARTISAN THAT'S CONSTANTLY PUSHING ITS OPINION.

YOU ARE TRYING TO INFORM THE VOTERS.

WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE KIF IN GOVERNMENT.

NOT ON THE SIDELINES.

IT'S FAIRLY DISCOURAGING AND I DON'T VOTE BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM.

AND YOU'RE THINKING, HOW DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO BE INFORMED AND VOTE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

HOW DISCOURAGING FOR YOU TO WATCH CURRENT NATIONAL POLITICS WHERE YOU SEE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES WHERE THEY'RE FRAUTING.

WHAT THE LETTER IS BY YOUR NAME.

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF RESPONDING TO THAT.

THAT'S WHAT THE LEAGUE IS ALL ABOUT.

TRY TO BE CIVIL AND BE INFORMED, AND IMPROVE THE SYSTEM.

>> BUT NOT WE DON'T TAKE PARTISAN POSITIONS ON THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

WE WISH PEOPLE WOULD BE CIVIL IN THEIR DISCUSSIONS, AND BE TRUTHFUL COME FROM FACTS.

WE BELIEVE IN FACTS.

>> THERE IS SOME TRUTH IN THE WORLD AT LEAST.

FOR A WHILE THERE I WAS ONLY WATCHING THE PBS "NEWSHOUR."

I COULD NOT SEE STAND TO WATCH WHAT WAS BEING DONE.

IN FACT, READING THE PAPERS DIFFICULT AT TIMES WHEN YOU READ WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT IS NOT FACTUAL.

>> EXACTLY.

THEY END UP BELIEVING STEREOTYPES AND GENERALITIES AND THE LEAST FLATTERING PICTURE.

I THINK IT'S HARD TO GET FACTS AND IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHO TO TRUST FOR THEIR INFORMATION.

WE HOPE THEY'LL LOOK AT THE LEAGUE FOR THAT.

>> YOU GIVE VOTERS A BETTER ABILITY TO BE CRITICAL ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT.

THEY CAN AND AN ISSUE AND THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU FROM ONE DIRECTION.

YOU GIVE BOTH POSITIONS.

>> WE REALLY WORK HARD AT THAT.

WE HAVE A PROS AND CONS.

WE DO COMMUNITY FORUMS OF THAT.

>> WE HAVE THAT COMING.

THE ELECTION IS COMING AROUND THE CORNER.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KEET TV ON MAY 11TH AND SO CAN YOU DESCRIBE FOR ME HOW THE LEAGUE DOES THAT.

HOW DO YOU FIGURE WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK AND THAT SORT OF THING?

>> THAT'S HARD.

WE'VE LOST ON CAROL MASTERSON WHO WAS OUR GURU WORKING WITH KEET ON THESE FORUMS.

WE HAVE -- PEOPLE CAN PHONE IN THEIR QUESTIONS, AND WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT TAKE THOSE QUESTIONS ON THE PHONE AND RUNNERS COME DOWN AND WE TRY TO SORT THEM INTO CATEGORIES SO WE COVER A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS OF QUESTIONING, AND THEN THAT'S GIVEN TO THE MODERATOR, AND THEN WE TRY TO HAVE THE CANDIDATES HAVE AN EQUAL SHOT.

>> IT'S LIKE AMAZINGLY RESPONSIVE.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS.

NOW PEOPLE CAN EMAIL THEIR QUESTIONS AS WELL.

IT'S NOT THEY HAVE TO PICK UP THE PHONE.

IT'S VERY HARD AS THE MODERATOR AND YOU HAVE THESE QUESTIONS COMING AT YOU, AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T ASKED THE SAME QUESTION.

>> IT CAN START OUT DIFFERENT.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE ON TOP OF THINGS.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE A TIME LIMIT FOR EACH PERSON AND EACH PERSON HAS TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

>> THEY HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO ANSWER IT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> PEOPLE SORT THE QUESTIONS.

THEY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

SO THAT WE COME AT IT FROM -- SO YOU DON'T ASK QUESTIONS THAT AREN'T APPROPRIATE TO MAKING A DECISION.

>> YEARS AGO YOU HAD JOURNALISTS INVOLVED.

DIDN'T YOU USED TO HAVE JOURNALISTS THAT WERE MODERATORS.

>> I THINK WE DID.

>> WE HAD JOURNALISTS WHO COULD GIVE US QUESTIONS IF THEY WANTED.

LIKE ANY OTHER CITIZENS.

JUST SINCE KOFED IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYBODY.

IT'S PREVENTED WHAT'S PROBABLY YOUR MOST LUCRATIVE FUNDING RAISING EVENT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

>> THE STATE OF THE UNION COMMUNITY LUNCHEON.

>> WHICH IS A WEEK FROM TODAY.

THIS IS YOUR BIGGEST FUND-RAISER OF THE YEAR.

>> IT HAD BEEN.

ACCORDING TO THE LAST FEW YEARS WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A LUNCHEON.

WE HAVE AN ALTERNATE EVENT IT'S THE MARCHES GRAY MUSE SOME.

AND ONLY THE HONOREES WILL BE THERE.

WE'LL HAVE A STATE OF THE COUNTY ADDRESS.

WE ASK THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO DO THAT SO VIRGINIA IS GOING TO GIVE HER STATE OF THE COUNTY, AND THEN WE WILL BE HONORING TWO GROUPS AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.

I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT VIRGINIA IS NOT RUNNING THIS YEAR.

THIS WILL BE HER FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THE STATE OF THE COUNTY.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HER DOING THAT.

>> MAYBE SAY FAREWELL.

>> WE'LL SEE WHAT SHE WANTS TO SAY.

>> WHAT THE FUTURE MAY HOLD.

>> SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE HONORED.

YOU BASICALLY PICK PEOPLE WHO'RE DIN LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> WE SAY THAT THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROVIDED A GREAT DEAL OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.

PEOPLE ARE INVITED TO NOMINATE PEOPLE THAT THEY FEEL DO THAT.

>> YOU SAID IT'S OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY.

>> WE EVEN PUT AN ADD IN THE PAPER PLEASE SEND YOUR NOMINATIONS.

YOU HAVE TO WRITE UP YOUR REASONS FOR THIS PERSON.

AND THEN THE COMMITTEE LOOKS AT ALL OF THESE NOMINEES, AND WE CAN'T HONOR EVERYBODY.

>> OF COURSE NOT.

>> SO WE PICK TWO BY CONSENSUS AFTER A LOT OF DISCUSSION.

AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SAVE THE NAMES OF ALL OF THE NOMINEES SO MAYBE NEXT YEAR THAT WILL BE SOMEONE WE CAN LOOK AT AGAIN.

>> AND SO -- DRAW FROM.

>> NOW YOU GAVE THERE'S ACTUALLY THREE PEOPLE.

ONE OF THEM IS A UNIT.

>> YES.

>> SO THE HOLLENBECKS.

AND VIVIANA AND HOLLENBECK.

>> AND THEY'VE BEEN HANGING IN THE BALANCE ALL THIS TIME.

SO WE FINALLY DECIDED MY GOSH WE'VE GOT TO DO TO ACTUALLY LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE HONORED, AND THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT WE HAVE HONORED THEM.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING IT THIS YEAR.

THEY RUN THE BLUE OX MILL WORKS.

>> WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE THAT DOES GREAT WORK.

>> SINCE WE NOTIFIED THAT THEY WERE OUR HONOREES NOW THEY HAVE A SHOW OF THEIR OWN.

>> AND THEY'VE BEEN HIGH IN THE PUBLIC.

>> THE RADIO MAN.

BUT WE VALUE THEM AND WE LIKE TO GIVE THEM OUR RECOGNITION AS WELL.

>> THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS WENDY -- WANDA WAS LUND.

>> MY WIFE'S GRANDMOTHER IS NAMED WANDA.

WHAT DOES SHE DO.

SHE'S BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN THE FRESHWATER RANGE.

AND THE THINGS THEY DO OUT THERE.

THE QUOTA CLUB.

THEY HAVE SUPPORTED A WOMEN'S SHELTER ORGANIZATION.

SHE'S BEEN ACTIVE IN THE SEE'S CANDY PROGRAM THROUGH THE CANCER SOCIETY.

SO SHE'S BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN A NUMBER OF YEARS IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

SHE HAD SEVERAL NOMINATIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY.

AND WE DO LIKE TO SELECT PEOPLE THAT ARE AREN'T SO WELL-KNOWN.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE BACKGROUND THAT DON'T GET RECOGNIZED.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THE BETTER OFF THEY ARE.

>> IT'S NICE TO GET A LOOK FROM SOMEBODY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND OFTEN PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED THEY'VE BEEN NOMINATED.

AND THEY ARE SELECTED.

THEY DIDN'T SEE IT COMING.

>> SO AS ALWAYS HAPPENS WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

WE HAVE A ONE MINUTE LEFT.

>> YOU'RE KIDDING.

>> NO ONE MINUTE.

SINCE YOU MENTIONED IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE TO FUND RAISE.

WWW.VHC.org.

AND THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> YES.

AND THEN P.O.

BOX 3029 EUREKA CALIFORNIA.

>> TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

>> NO.

WELL, IF YOU DONATE TO THE EDUCATION FUND THAT IS DEDUCTIBLE.

JUST TO THE LEAGUE BECAUSE WE COULD DO ADVOCATE FOR THINGS WHICH THROWS US IN THAT CATEGORY THAT'S NOT DEDUCTIBLE.

>> WEERDON GUYS.

>> I DIDN'T GET TO MENTION THE MENTAL HEALTH STUDY.

>> ONE MINUTE.

>> WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

TO MARK THE FIFTH YEAR SINCE THE STABBING DEATH OF THE DAVID JOSIAH LAWSON.

TO CONTINUE THEIR DEMANDS FOR ARREST AND PROSECUTION IN THE ARREST.

MADE BY THE ARCADA POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THE ARCADA ORGANIZATIONAL FAILURES AND INVESTIGATIVE AND LEADERSHIP ERRORS DAMAGED THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE APRIL 2017 KILLING.

IN 2018 THE CITY HIRED THE FOUNDATION FORMER COPS TO EVALUATE ARCADA POLICE.

THAT ARCADA POLICE DEPARTMENT BEGAN WHEN SHIFT KRYSTLE ARMINIO FIRST RESPONDED TO THE STABBING.

SHIFT SUPERVISORS HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED SPECIALIZED SCENE MANAGEMENT OF MAJOR CRIMES.

AS A RESULT MANY OF THE BASIC TENETS OF THE CRIME SCENE SECURITY WERE NOT FOLLOWED.

FRIENDS WERE ALLOWED TO TALK TO THE SUSPECT WHEN HE WAS DETAINED IN A COP CAR.

AN AQUAY OPPORTUNITIES DROVE AWAY IN THE SUSPECT'S VEHICLE.

OFFICERS COLLECTED THAT LAID DORMANT FOLLOWING THE 2016 REASSIGNMENT OF THE EVIDENCE TECHNICIAN.

POLICE CORDONED OFF A PORTION OF THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THE SHIFT SUPERVISOR SAW BLOOD BUT THE STABBING OCCURRED ON THE ADJACENT LAWN.

THAT MISIDENTIFICATION CAUSED MISDIRECTION BY.

BUT BECAUSE SHE DID NOT ASK THE RESPONDING UNIVERSITY POLICE STAURGE TO CONTROL THE SCENE AND COORDINATE COMMAND AND CONTROL OF THE SCENE, EVIDENCE AND WITNESSES AND INVESTIGATION WAS INSUFFICIENT.

FOR EXAMPLE IN DECIDING TO PRESS CHALLENGES RELIED ON A POLICE REPORT INDICATING A WITNESS SAID THAT THE SUSPECT STABBED LAWSON.

THAT DETECTIVE WHEN SUMMARIZING THAT.

AUDIO RECORDING INDICATE ANOTHER WITNESS SAID A BLACK MAN ATTACKED A SUSPECT.

THE WITNESS SAID THAT THE SUSPECT GRABBED THE ATTACKER'S KNIFE AND STABBED THE ATTACKER.

THAT THE SUSPECT NEVER HAD A KNIFE AND NEVER STABBED ANYONE THAT WITNESS AS ANGELICA McFARLAND TOLD FOUR DIFFERENT STORIES IN FOUR DIFFERENT INTERVIEWS.

WHEN TODD DOKWEILER DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DOCK WILER OR BEFORE CONDUCTING WHAT THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOCIATION A KURT INSTEAD OF EXPLORATORY 15-MINUTE INTERVIEW WITH THE SUSPECT.

EARLY RESPONSE ERRORS COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED WITH PROPER OVERSIGHT.

OPERATIONS LIEUTENANT BART SILVERS DID NOT RETURN FROM HIS PLANNED VACATION THREE HOURS AWAY.

MPF ONCE SILVERS LEARNED OF DIFFICULTIES AS SOON AS THE MORNING AFTER HE SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL SUPERVISION TO ENSURE A PROPER INVESTIGATION.

HIS KNOWLEDGE AND ASSISTANCE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INVALUABLE ASSET.

HE DID NOT REVIEW THE CASE FILE AND DID NOT REVIEW POLICE REPORTS FROM THE NIGHT OF THE KILLING.

SENSING POLICE APATHY AND IN COPY OPPORTUNITIES ACTIVIST SHUT DOWN CITY HALL IN 2018.

TOM CHAPMAN THAT THE KAS WAS BEING WORKED ON EVERY DAY.

BUT THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOCIATION SAID THAT THE POLICE CHIEF WAS NOT PROPERLY INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE KILLING.

CHAPMAN DID NOT WANT TO CEDE CONTROL.

OTHER AGENCY COULD HAVE PROVIDED VALUABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE IDENTIFICATION OF WITNESSES AND CRIME SCENE DOCUMENTATION IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE INVESTIGATION.

ARCADA POLICE FORGED FORWARD SOLO.

CHAPMAN DID NOT REVIEW THE CASE BEFORE SUBMITTING IT TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

A JUDGE THAT DA HAD INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO FORCE A TRIAL.

THE SUSPECT WAS RELEASED.

THE CITY HIRED A F.B.I.

THE CHIEF WAS NOT REALLY ON TOP OF THE CASE.

I WOULD ASK WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE CASE.

THE STANDARD CASE I DON'T KNOW.

LET ME CHECK AND I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

I FOUND IT ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING WOULD NOT KNOW RIGHT UP TO THE MINUTE.

>> KEET RYAN HUTSON HAS WITH CHARMAINE LAWSON DAVID'S MOTHER.

'S LAWSON FAMILY AND THE GREATER COMMUNITY STILL WANT TO SEE THE PERPETRATOR BROUGHT TO LIGHT AND CONVICTED FOR THE HOMICIDE.

WHILE THE CITY OF ARCADA AND THE ARCADA POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN SCRUTINIZED SO TOO HAVE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S ACTIONS OR INACTIONS IN THE CASE.

AS THE MOTHER OF THE VICTIM PREPARED FOR THE FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST DIFFICULT THING FOR HER AND THE FAMILY.

AFTER THE MURDER OF MY SON DJ IT LEFT ME NUMB AND I'M STILL NUMB.

WHAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST HARDEST THING TO DO WAS TO SEND MY SON ANTHONY OFF TO COLLEGE.

TWO MONTHS LATER.

KNOWING THAT DJ DID EVERYTHING HE WAS SUPPOSED DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

I SENT HIM OFF TO COLLEGE AND HE WAS MURDERED.

AS WE DISCUSSED THE STATUS OF THE CASE AND THE INVESTIGATION, LAWSON LAMENTED THE SLOW WHEELS OF JUSTICE BUTTERY ITERATED SHE WAS FOCUSED ON THE LONG GAME ACHIEVING A CONVICTION FOR THE 2017 MURDER OF HER SON DAVID JOSIAH LAWSON.

THEY HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO HOLD MY SON'S MURDERER ACCOUNTABLE.

WHY HAS IT TAKEN FIVE YEARS?

>> SO MANY FAILURES STARTING FROM ARCADA POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND THE DISTRICT FAMILY MAGGIE FLEMING AND JOEL BUCKINGHAM.

SO MANY THINGS WENT WRONG.

>> I GUARANTEE YOU IF THOSE WERE TWO BLACK HSU STUDENTS THEY WOULD NOT BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW.

THEY WOULD BE IN JAIL.

AND YOU CAN SUE ME ALL THE WANT.

YOU CAN SUE ME.

YOU CAN SUE ME.

YOU WILL NEVER GET A DIME I PROMISE YOU.

BUT THE D.N.A.

ON THE KNIFE AND KYLE ZOELLNER.

IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAGGIE FLEMING.

>> WHOEVER IS ELECTED TO BE THE NEW DA WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THEM TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD.

WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

JUST LIKE WE DID MAGGIE FLEMING.

I WANT TO KNOW THEY WILL BE THE VOICE FOR VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

>> WHY IS IT DIFFERENT BECAUSE MY CHILD IS BLACK.

WHY IS IT DIFFERENT.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

>> I AM ASKING ATTORNEY GENERAL ROB VAUGHN TA TO TAKE MY SON'S CASE OUT OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

I DON'T BELIEVE MY SON WILL GET A FAIR TRIAL IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY BECAUSE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAGGIE FLEMING AND HER FAILURES TO PROSECUTE AND BRING HIS MURDERER TO JUSTICE.

I AM ALSO ASKING THAT HE ATTACH THE HATE CRIME TO MY SON'S MURDER AS MY SON IS LAYING DYING ON THE GROUND WITH MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS, STAB WOUNDS TO HIS CHEST AND HIS CHEST.

THEY SLICED A PIECE OF MY SON'S HEART.

LAYLA ORTEGA IS SAY I HOPE DAVID WILL DIE.

WE HOPE THAT THE HATE CRIME WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE MURDER.

CURRENT DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAGGIE FLEMING PROVIDED A WRITTEN STATEMENT EXPLAINING IN REGARDS TO AN IN COMING DISTRICT ATTORNEY FLEMMING SAID UNDER EVIDENCE-BASED AS OPPOSED TO POLITICAL DECISION MAKING BY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS CASES ARE NOT PASSED FROM ONE DA TO THE NEXT.

ADDING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IMMEDIATELY CHARGED SOMEONE IN THE LAWSON WHEN POLICE REPORTS WAS POSSIBLE BUT TESTIMONY AT PRELIMINARY HEARING CONTRADICTED CRITICAL CONTENT IN THE POLICE REPORTS.

THE $100,000 REWARD IS STILL ON THE TABLE AND ARCADA POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE STILL LOOKING FOR WITNESSES.

>> I'M RYAN HUTSON.

MAGGIE FLEMING SAID ALL OF THE EVIDENCE WAS PRESENTED TO A GRAND JURY WHO CHOSE NOT TO INDICT ANYONE.

THAT'S IT FOR HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

I'M JAMES FAULK.
