Olinger Murder Suspect To Represent Himself In Court

Hope he fails at defense. Fail hard.

Roberts cautioned Ruelas that he would have to prepare for trial without assistance of an advisory counsel and with no greater access to the jail’s law library than any other “pro per” defendant, which Ruelas said was one hour a week.

There are 14 weeks remaining before his Sept. 6 trial.

“I can tell you right now there isn’t a lawyer in the state who would take this case” with only 15 hours of library research, Roberts said.

“I understand, however I really want to represent myself. Honestly, I’m ready to move on,” Ruelas said. “I plan to follow all rules (and) laws and conduct myself in a very, very, very professional way.

Coast Guard Lt. John Suckow said they were called shortly after 11 a.m. on a report that the woman, diving with two men off a 20-foot boat, was in distress. Her dive mates brought her to the surface, placed her in the boat and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation until they met a Coast Guard rescue boat, which brought her to the pier.

Article names the divers and reports they were both certified and had been diving days before. Investigators are searching for the scuba tanks in the ocean.

It likely will be a few weeks before investigators can precisely say how two Nevada teenagers died during a scuba diving excursion Saturday off Cannery Row.

Stephen Anderson, 16, and Keegan Aiazzi, 17, were among a group of divers from a Carson City, Nev., high school oceanography class who went into the water from a commercial dive boat about a quarter mile from shore.

After they failed to surface and were reported missing, rescue divers from the Monterey Express charter boat found them on the ocean floor about 70 feet underwater, and they subsequently were pronounced dead at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.

The divers’ deaths, which left the tight-knit Carson City community in shock, is being investigated by the Monterey County coroner’s office and the Coast Guard. If foul play was suspected, Monterey police would handle the case.

There is, she said, a legitimate connection between Steinbeck and the house, and he likely visited his grandmother there in the summertime as a child, and noted that Elizabeth Hamilton appears as a character in Steinbeck’s novel “East of Eden.”

It’s even possible Steinbeck did some writing there, Trosow said, but that hasn’t been documented.

Steinbeck lived in a Pacific Grove house nearby at 147 11th St. that was built by his father, she said, moving there with his first wife, Carol Brown.

“It’s the largest arts and crafts show in the tri-county area,” Ammar said. “We have top-name bands and entertainment. Look at downtown on Lighthouse. It’s a zoo.”

A throng of people walked along the noisy, smoky Lighthouse Avenue surrounded by the smells of cooking corn dogs, bratwurst, garlic fries, Thai sticks and calamari. The food vendors shared space with arts and crafts booths, children’s face painting, bounce houses and rides.

Two Teen Divers Drown Off Cannery Row

Posted on by

First reported diver death this year.

Two teenagers drowned Saturday while scuba diving in Monterey Bay.

The divers were reported missing after others in their group surfaced and returned to their charter boat, the Monterey Express.

“Nineteen divers went down, two were reported missing,” said Felix Colello, a division chief for the Monterey Fire Department.

They were reported missing about 12:25 p.m.

“The two gentlemen were found on the bottom of the ocean,” Colello said. “They were brought up in cardiac arrest. We did CPR all the way to the hospital.”

The teens, 16 and 17 years old from Carson City, Nev., were pronounced dead at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.

More Hearings For Deborah King

Give it up and take what you get.

For the fifth time since she drove into a Pacific Grove father killing him in front of his son, a judge has appointed a psychiatrist to evaluate the mental competency of Deborah King.

Defense attorney Heather Rogers told Judge Russell Scott this morning she can’t move forward with a motion for a new trial because she doubts her client’s ability to assist in her own defense.

A jury convicted King in February of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in the death of 35-year-old Joel Woods, who was struck and killed outside Pacific Grove Middle School on Sept. 2, 2008. Because she has five prior drunken-driving convictions, one resulting in a prison term, the former correctional officer faces a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
