Attorney Kyle J. Humphrey Represented Bakersfield Principal Suspected of Murdering Husband

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Nov. 6, 2013 - PRLog -- In recent months, the principal of a Bakersfield elementary school was arrested because she was suspected of killing her husband, but she was later released due to the fact that she had not been formally charged with a crime, according to a Sept. 4, 2013 CNN article titled “DA: California school principal, arrested in husband’s death, released from jail.” Bakersfield Criminal Defense Attorney Kyle J. Humphrey, who provided legal representation for the woman, spoke to CNN in a video accompanying the article about the lack of evidence in the case. The lawyer, of The Law Offices of Kyle J. Humphrey, works diligently to help his clients protect their best interest when their futures are jeopardized because of criminal allegations.

According to the CNN article, the body of the 46-year-old principal’s husband of 17 years was found in an almond orchard in Bakersfield in late August. Even though the school principal was arrested, she did not end up facing any charges and was released after her court hearing was postponed. The maximum amount of time the woman could be held without charges had expired as prosecutors waited for the Kern County Sheriff’s Office to provide additional information related to the case.

Attorney Humphrey was quoted in the CNN broadcast video that was posted online with the article. The lawyer noted in the video that law enforcement officers sometimes rush to judgment and try to make allegations that they cannot back up with evidence. Noting his client’s “shock and confusion” following the allegations, the lawyer stated that this was a case in which he was ready to work to prove that the woman was innocent.

According a Sept. 3 Good morning America article titled “California Principal to Be Arraigned for Allegedly Killing Husband,” the husband’s body was found with multiple gunshot wounds. A friend of Attorney Humphrey’s client described the spouses as a couple that seemed to be happy. She also noted in the article that the principal was quiet and never seemed like someone who would hurt others.
