In an effort to stop sexually violent predator (SVP) Joshua Cooleyâs placement in a home just outside of Galtâs borders, local officials have petitioned Humboldt County Superior Court Judge John T. Feeney with reasons why Galt is not a good fit for the convict.
Feeney is slated to hear testimony from representatives from Liberty Healthcare and California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) this Friday asking that Cooley be allowed to be placed in the Harvey Road home. Sacramento County Deputy DA Brian Morgan will represent the county at the proceedings to try to stop the placement.
Morgan and the DA office solicited comments from community members to use at the hearing.
