Setting a trial date for Michele and Steve Kubby is proving to be very elusive. Both sides met in Judge Larry Gaddis' courtroom Tuesday hoping for a date, but Steve Kubby's attorney, Joe Farina, filed a motion requesting Gaddis step down from the case.
By Jessica R. Towhey,Journal Staff Writer Farina said he believed Gaddis to be prejudiced against the case and therefore cannot be fair and impartial. Gaddis accepted the motion since it was given in a timely manner. "I can't imagine why it is being made, though," Gaddis said. The law allows each side to file such a motion once in a trial. Since the Kubbys are being represented separately, though, the defense has another opportunity to file. And, because Farina invoked California Penal Code Section 170.6, he does not have to explain why he believes Gaddis would have prejudices. "We'll see what happens tomorrow," said Assistant District Attorney Chris Cattran. While Gaddis cannot hear the case, the code allows him to assign the case to another judge. But, Gaddis said he didn't know the odds of getting a courtroom today, and said the assignment will go on a day-by-day basis. The two sides will meet today at 8:15 a.m. in Department 3 of the Historic Courthouse on Maple Street. The Kubbys' were arrested Jan. 19 at the Olympic Village residence. They are charged with suspicion of cultivation of marijuana and suspicion of cultivation with intent to sell.Pubdate: Wed 28 Jul 1999Source: Auburn JournalCopyright: 1999 Auburn Journal Contact: ElPatricio aol.com Address: 1030 High St., Auburn, CA 95603Website: http://www.auburnjournal.com/Author: Jessica R.
