Once Christmas is past, there’s ... Murder suspect Tons of trash in court By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal Murder suspect Mike Marlin appeared in court Thursday, but did not enter a plea. Marlin has been charged with murder in the death of James Redenius, who was shot and killed in Willits Dec. 17 in the 200 block of Central Street. According to reports from the Willits Police Department, Marlin’s mother told firefighters from the Willits/Little Lake Fire Department that her son had shot someone. Marlin later turned in himself to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. He was represented in court by Keith Faulder, who was making a special appear- ance in this case. Faulder said he would need to look at the autopsy report on Redenius as well as the crime scene pho- tographs before he could decide whether he would represent Marlin. Deputy District Attorney Matthew Finnegan objected to turning over that evi- dence to Faulder as long as he was not appearing as general counsel. “If he’s not going to be the attorney of record then Mr. Marlin needs to get an attor- ney,” Finnegan said. Mendocino County Superior Court Judge Ronald Brown told Finnegan to turn over “basic discovery” evidence to Faulder. “Otherwise, we’re going to waste a lot of time and effort determining who this man’s counsel is,” Brown said. He said a greater understanding of the case would help Faulder determine whether MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal Marlin could afford Faulder’s defense. Redwood Valley resident Jerald Diggs empties a pickup load full of trash at the Ukiah transfer station the day after Brown said he would expect Faulder to Christmas.

THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
