A California court of appeal recently granted Kelly a hearing at the trial court level. In doing so, the court of appeal effectively overruled the Attorney General's arguments against Kelly's legal claims. The Superior Court in Tulare County will hold a hearing on Kelly’s right to a new trial, this time with the testimony of expert witnesses in the field of intimate partner battering and its effects. Kelly's pro-bono lawyers have again reached out to Attorney General Kamala Harris to try to settle this case without further court involvement, but she continues to be unresponsive.
We will send another update when we have concrete next steps.
Thank you again for your support!
