The California Highway Patrol says Jason Anthony Warren murdered Suzie Seemann, the university professor who died when a Kia allegedly driven by Warren ran into her and two friends on the morning of Sept. 27 as they went for their morning jog on Old Arcata Road. Her friends, Jessica Hunt and Terri Vroman-Little, suffered major injuries, and Hunt’s dog, Maggie, also was killed.
The CHP, in a news release/collision report issued this afternoon, requests that the Humboldt County District Attorney file several charges against Warren: one count murder, two counts attempted murder, one count animal cruelty, three counts assault with a deadly weapon and one count vehicle theft.
In November, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department asked the DA to file homicide and auto theft charges against Warren for a separate incident — the killing of Hoopa resident Dorothy Ulrich — earlier on the same morning the joggers were hit.

He should have never been out on the streets…..
It’s inexcusable that someone who is agreeing to plead guilty and do jail time wasn’t kept in jail. Count the time between the generous plea deal and his next court appearance as time spent toward the jail sentence he’s agreed to accept. Keep the public safe.
I won’t be voting for this DA again.
Every D.A. in the nation is under pressure, many under court orders, to address our overcrowded prisons. Maybe they can house them in our schools so they can stay open.
Eureka has one of the highest per-capita pedestrian death rates in the state.
Where’s the murder charges?
In Eureka, we have a bunch of dumb-fucks playing chicken on Broadway…….
I don’t see how this would be murder (homicide) unless it is proven it was an intentional unlawful act, willful or premeditated. There is also the legal concept known as the “felony murder rule,” under which a person commits first-degree murder if any death (even an accidental one) results from the commission of certain violent felonies — usually arson, burglary, kidnapping, rape, and robbery. By the way, YEP,…the D.A. had nothing to do with this moron being let out early. When you get a moment, go back and re-read the stories were done about this guy.
“In Eureka, we have a bunch of dumb-fucks playing chicken on Broadway…….”
In Eureka, we have generations of developer-backed candidates silent on haphazard development while every other city in the nation, with a 3 lane Hwy downtown, is posted at 25MPH or less!
Statistically, Eureka has no more dump people than it has right-wing haters like Brian Conners who bend the facts to justify extraordinary pedestrian death rates.
