The Santa Barbara Independent Robles Arraignment Postponed
The Santa Barbara Independent Robles Arraignment Postponed: "Bycel said that he was not qualified to defend Robles against capital murder charges, and asked for a 30-day continuance of the arraignment so that CDA attorney James Crowder, who is qualified to defend capital cases, could take over the defense.
Dozer opposed the length of the continuance, saying the matter could not be put off for 30 days. “We’re left in a limbo position for an amount of time that is unacceptable,” Dozer said, adding that he’s concerned that Crowder, who is already involved in another murder case, would have trouble finding time to represent Robles.
With the consent of Robles, who was separated from the courtroom by a glass screen, Gordon granted a two-week continuance. “I expect to have a lawyer here who is prepared to handle the case and can give a realistic estimate of how long it will take to enter a plea,” Gordon said."
