Woman who killed child denied new attorney
Sentencing is set to go ahead as planned next week for a Santa Maria woman who murdered her 3-year-old foster son, after a Superior Court judge denied her request for a new attorney.
Sylvia Dominguez, 30, and her attorney, Senior Deputy Public Defender David Ogren, took part Friday in a closed hearing with Judge Edward Bullard in which they apparently discussed Dominguez’s concerns over her legal representation.
When a defendant indicates he or she wants a new lawyer, the judge must hold a “Marsden hearing” if the attorney is court-appointed. A hearing on a Marsden motion is what transpired Friday.
