Summary Of The Judge Nunley's Court Case

Judge Nunley held the court cases at the Robert T. Matsui Federal Courthouse, located at 501 I street in Sacramento, California. I attended the courthouse on April 6, 2017, from 1:45pm to 2:45pm in courtroom: No. 2 on the 15th floor.

The prosecutor in due course decided to keep them out of custody until there next trial.

He voluntarily pleas guilty, giving up some of his rights that are originally granted before pleading guilty. The judge then proceeded to ask the defendant basic questions about his career and his involvements in the past couple of days, before laying out the case and case number to the defendant. He was then read his Miranda rights and his rights at trial. Nicholas Votaw was also granted the right to remain out of jail until his trial as long as he didn’t violate any laws or else his case would be
