Bird Rock Bail Unchanged
Jan 28th, 2008 by Mark
Emery Kauanui Jr
Seth Cravens was in court today to attempt to have his bail reduced. It was denied. He is accused with others for the murder of Emery Kauanui Jr.
Not so rich anymore
Although having paid $175,000 to Pacific Law Center (a well known local private law firm) and living in La Jolla (very upscale neighborhood) Seth Craven’s family is now relying on the public defender’s office for assistance.
His new lawyer, Deputy Alternate Public Defender Mary Ellen Attridge, said Cravens’ bail should be lowered to a level his family could afford. She said the Cravens family paid the Pacific Law Center, his previous lawyers, $175,000 to represent him, but Attridge said in court that the firm had done little work to show for it. The Cravens family is trying to get some of the money back but that could take time, she said.
Pacific Law Center runs ads day and night on television here in San Diego County. They strike me as a law firm that deals mostly with low level cases. I doubt they have anyone who can handle a Capital Case. They are subject of an article at the UT. It appears that they have a long history of deceptive and high-pressure tactics.
Not So Golden
Privileged Brats go off the trolley tracks. Many have characterized Emery Kauanui as a ‘golden boy’. He wasn’t. In reality Kauanui was no different than the four charged with his murder. Just goes to show, if you live a rowdy life you most likely will die a rowdy death.

5 against one is what will have all these guys going to prison for a long time. Bullys and gangs from a bunch of rich kids, how pathetic.

I am sick of hearing the bullsh*t defense of Craven’s family. His parents clearly did a horrible job raising this overly aggressive meat-head and they are completely delusional and oblivious to the monster that he truly is. I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison and I hope his family suffers. I hated Mormons before but now I really hate them, especially the ones who plague the world by having 14 kids.
[MARK: seems to me the only plague on this world is those who hold ignorant views of religion in general, and some religions specifically. To call children a plague shows just how depraved our culture has become]
What is wrong with you people? Haven’t you heard of overpopulation?
[MARK: Yes it is one in a long line of lies trotted out by left wing nut jobs to destroy our country, our way of life, and our success. It was/is a con, just like global warming]
No one wants more Mormons in this world so stop having so many kids you selfish bastards!
[MARK: seems to me Mormons do more good than surfers. I am guessing that many would love to see fewer surfers. Did you ever think about that?]
5 against 1. How many foolish boys did it take to rest 1 man? That just goes to show they wasn’t man enough for the situation. Shame on thier parents. Shame on these ignorant boys. Shame on the City for not charging a group called Bird Rock Bandits as a gang. I say boys because obviously being a young adult doesnt fit the description of them. It is sad to hear that another soul has been taken over what? A spilled drink? Alcohol does miracles doesn’t it? Even the government can’t understand how DEADLY alcohol is. And its these type of fools that give liquor and alcohol a bad name. Can’t handle the liquid don’t touch it.
Besides, I live here. And this is not the only act these fools have done while trying to make a name of themselves. “Bird Rock Bandits.” How pathetic. And what makes it worse is that the Judge dismissed the gang charges….So I guess sarcastically saying, me and a group of guys should get together and name our group then go around beating up people while drunk….and so we call ourselves a gang, but in the judges eyes WE AREN’T? I vote for LIFE in prison. They should all be punished for these actions and be made an example out of. It is not a mistake. It wasn’t an accidental. It wasn’t a fluke. It was for fun and pleasure…..And if they get less than 10 years then hell with it we should go around beating up people to DEATH and not worry about doing LIFE in prison!!!!!!! God bless the loved ones of EMERY. No worries Ohana….these men will get it one way or another. The soul of Emery will live forever…in all the Oceans to the air we breath and the Earth we walk on!!!!!!
you do not read the courts papers, these kids agreed to fight, meaning eric house and emery; one to one; on the phone: emery beat up Eric who lost a tooth, no on touched emery he had not a single mark on his body said the autopsy, get off your histeria , what killed him was seth’s punch the others did not touch him, he dies from falling back and striking his head
you are hysterical and wrong
Not so sure I believe what they are saying. “Agreed to fight” is a typical response in a situation like this. It may be true, however I am not so sure any of them are trustworthy, and this appears to be self serving.
In order to form an opininion, one must read everything; court papers, depositions etc and examine all the articles ; good, bad and indifferent , then one can have a better idea.
Emery and we grieve his death was a fighter like some of the other kids, actually he was the only one on parole for agressions, the four other had a past , some worse and some better than the rest
One kid did not and that was Hank Hendricks and Emery’s mom is not suing his parents because he did not have a violent past ; read the LA Times article by Joel Sappel where he speaks of each one of these kids , on page six he talks about Hank Hendricks who was he says ” a model citizen” and mr Joel Sapell wonders why the DA arrested him
Read the Cornell times article by Sy Brozinsky an old friend of Hank since they were eight years old, he called him ” the pride of his high school ” where he excelled in three sports; basketball, football and baseball , he says that Hank taught him how to send a curved ball
No one ganged up on Emery, he faught one to one with Eric House, then when they got up Seth threw a sucker punch for something Emery said
Emery did not have any marks on his body showing that no one kicked him while down, he died from one punch and one fall on the back of his head which was not planned
Still people who live by the sword die by the sword it seems
Doesn’t change the fact that he died due to the fight. At the least he is guilty of Manslaughter. As for “reading everything”; how can you pass judgement since YOU have not read or heard everything? That’s called a trial.
How can anyone say Hank Hendricks was a “model citizen?” The guy was a thug, just like his buddies. The LAT printing it, does not make it so; in most cases, makes it suspect. Even more suspect is a puff piece by an “old friend”. Please, spare me.
BTW, if you provide links it’s much easier to follow your orders to read something.
