I attended the motion hearing yesterday. The judge said that the two sides had reached an agreement and ended the Zoom call. I have no idea what happened.
I attended Trujillo’s pre-trial hearing yesterday. Both trials have been postponed to give the defense time to prepare.
Another pre-trial hearing has been scheduled for August 9th and a second on October 18th.
The first trial will be for the felony on November 17th-23rd. The second trial will be for the misdemeanors on December 21st-22nd.
Trujillo will be traveling out of State and out of the country in the mean time. Judge Bull told him that he’ll need to submit a waiver of extradition.
Trujillo guilty on 2 of the 3 charges. Faces trial on Dec 21 and 22 for allegedly erasing evidence from his phone in front of police.
Trujllo’s atty, Riley Selleck has started a GoFundMe to cover the costs of the appeal. Here’s some of what Riley says…
My name is Riley Selleck. I represent Talmage in Chaffee County case 21M347. Last November, Talmage was convicted at trial of the misdemeanor counts of Harboring a Minor and Obstructing a Peace Officer. I won’t use this space to tell the whole story of the case, because if you’re here, you’re probably familiar with it – suffice it to say that Talmage, who was then the principal of Salida High School, was helping a child in need and ran afoul of local police.
Talmage has chosen to appeal his conviction, at my urging. I believe that there are legal issues that should be reviewed by a higher court, and which may go Talmage’s way.
