 The
honorable John
Ervin is one
of the many judges who
officiate in the County of Santa
Barbara. He presides at
the preliminary hearing between Victoria
Lane Capwell and
the prosecution represented by the district
attorney Keith Timmons,
within the framework of Paul Marshall's
aggression. John Ervin
seems to already be
familiar with the district attorney's behavior,
since at the beginning of the
hearing, he blames him
strongly for his delay without believing in the silly excuses of this
latter.
During
the hearing,
he accesses the defense
motion carried by
Julia Wainwright, and
orders the temporary
placement of Victoria Capwell
in a mental institution for
an evaluation of
her condition. And following
the proposal of C.C.
Capwell of whom he is a
close friend, Judge Ervin goes
against the Victoria's
wishes, by requiring the
placement of Chip with
his grandparents.
The
hearing ends with this cruel
separation for Victoria,
who feels more isolated
than ever.
