He appeared in a Martinez courtroom today for the few-minute proceeding clad in yellow jail garb and seated behind a glass partition with other inmates. He only spoke to affirm that he understood his right to a speedy trial and that he agrees to waive that right so attorneys have more time to study the evidence.
Schierholtz remains locked up in the West County Detention Facility in Richmond with his bail set to $200,000.
