Attorneys for several Black Lives Matter protesters expressed interest on March 3 in disqualifying San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge Rita Federman from the case, while at the same time displaying no interest in a diversion program that could lead to the charges being dropped against some defendants.
Curtis Briggs, one of Tianna Arata’s attorneys, said he wanted first to clarify Judge Federman intended to remain on the case, and then planned to file a peremptory challenge against her. Federman replaced Judge Matt Guerrero after he was reassigned to family court more than a month ago.
During a virtual appearance in the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court on March 3, the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney s Office recommended a misdemeanor diversion for five of the seven local Black Lives Matter protesters charged with endangering and violating the personal liberty of nonparticipants in a protest last July. Citing the community s division over the case, Deputy District Attorney Delaney Henretty made the request, asking the court to consider the defendants Marcus Montgomery, Amman Asfaw, Joshua Powell, Sam Grocott, and Jerad Hill lack of criminal history and the belief that their actions were done to stop racial discrimination, a worthy goal.
