Davis Jurist Calm on Davis Murder Kidnap Trial
Judge Richard Arnason, assigned to the Angela Davis murder kidnapping case, is noted for calm, courteous conduct. The Davis trial follows a history of dismissals of judges and lethal outcomes in related proceedings. In Marin and surrounding counties, multiple judges disqualified themselves amid Magee’s challenges, while Arnason, a 48-year-old Democrat, takes the case under orders from top California judicial officials. Elsewhere, a Meadville native was killed in Detroit during a rent collection dispute, and Jessop Steel workers in Washington, Pennsylvania, prepared to vote on a company proposal ending a four-day strike.
