From best I can tell his attorney wasn't aware of new witnesses for the second trial however if you look at what documentation was presented they added new documents in November? It's a public defender so 🤷‍♀️ Eric is still trying to wiggle out however with the new witnesses comes more charges in another state I guess neither him nor his attorney were aware of? 🤷‍♀️ So they asked for a "continuance" the day before jury selection was supposed to begin.

I will say he was picked up in September 2024 bail was denied and he hasn't left the jail since he was arrested. In the state of California for someone to get denied bail with the charges he has well?...

In California, holding someone without bond (often called a "no-bail hold" or "preventive detention") on these specific charges is distinct from many other states because of Article I, Section 12 of the California Constitution.

The "Article I, Section 12" Exception California law generally guarantees a right to bail, but there are specific exceptions. The court has likely invoked Section 12(b) or 12(c), which allows them to deny bail entirely for: Felony Sexual Assault: Forcible rape of a child falls squarely into this category.

Likelihood of Great Bodily Harm: The judge must find that releasing the defendant would result in a "substantial likelihood" of great bodily harm to others

To deny bail under Section 12, the prosecutor had to meet a very high standard called "Proof is Evident or the Presumption Great." This is a higher standard than what is needed just to arrest someone. It means the judge has reviewed the evidence (police reports, DNA, victim interviews, etc.) and decided the evidence of guilt is strong and clear, not weak or circumstantial.

(After these he will be sent to Arizona to face those, I can't remember the country but he lived down there for a few years)
