September 6, 2024
Kelly McGuirk has *allegedly* returned to shoplifting, this time it's Macy's.
Complaint Filed by District Attorney
McGuirk has waived time for a speedy trial, and a pretrial hearing is set for November 5, 2024.
McGuirk applies for "mental health diversion"
On November 5, 2024, Kelly McGuirk's attorney applied for "mental health diversion," which allows a defendant to seek mental health treatment in lieu of criminal proceedings. A series of hearings are held before such a request is granted.
The next hearing is set for December 16, 2024.
Court continues hearing
On December 16, 2024, a San Mateo County judge hearing this case for mental health diversion made a motion to continue the hearing. The hearing was reset for February 3, 2025.
Attorney withdraws
On February 3, 2025, in a San Mateo County courtroom, Kelly McGuirk's attorney of record withdrew from the case at what was scheduled to be a mental health diversion hearing. The defense attorney's motion was granted, leaving McGuirk without an attorney of record in this case.
A new hearing date was set for February 28, 2025, where McGuirk is to be arraigned and identify new counsel.
McGuirk arraigned again, early
February 24, 2025 — In a Redwood City courtroom last week, Kelly McGuirk had a hearing in her latest petty theft case. In this hearing, McGuirk was arraigned again.
At this hearing, McGuirk requested a public defender (called a private defender in San Mateo County), and the request was granted.
Accordingly, the taxpayers of San Mateo County will pay for McGuirk's defense in what amounts to her eighth known theft case.
