A call was received from Bret Alan Phillips about 10:36 a.m. Thursday during which he re- ported that he had been in an altercation with his neighbor and that the neighbor had been stabbed. A call was received by the neighbor, Ryan Wetmore, who re- ported that Phillips had first tried to run him over before attacking him. At that point in the alterca- tion, Phillips reportedly stabbed Wetmore in the hand, according to Tehama County Sheriff's De- partment logs. Wetmore reported there was no need for medical to be dispatched. FEUD Local man arrested in stabbing of neighbor By Margaret Baum Daily News correspondent SACRAMENTO After a little less than three hours of delibera- tion, the Sacramento jury tasked with determining the fate of a man charged with murdering a 14-year-old Red Bluff girl was sent home early Friday. The jury in the Quentin Bealer murder trial deliberated for just 45 minutes before Judge Delbert Oros suspended deliberations for the day. Bealer, 42, is charged with homicide in the strangling death of Marysa Nichols, whose body was found half a mile behind Red Bluff High School Feb. 28, 2013. Oros said only that lawyers were busy working and the jury was to report back to continue de- liberations Monday at 10:30 a.m. Thursday the case was handed over to the jury at about 2:30 p.m. and jurors were excused for the day at 4:30 p.m. During closing statements, Shon Northam, Bealer's attorney compared the case to the Netflix series, "Making a murderer." According to Northam, there were several issues with the pros- ecution's case as it was presented. "Criminal law is not rocket sci- ence," Northam told the jury. "It's about dotting the 'I's and cross- ing the 'T's." Northam told jurors they needed to focus on the concepts of integrity and trust. "You have to trust the investi- gation," he said. "Do you trust the investigation, evidence and pros- ecution in this case." According to Northam, there were several "omissions" or "in- consistencies" on the side of the prosecution. He detailed several of these "omissions." Northam noted that with all the video surveillance shown in this case, the DA did not show video footage from the Juvenile Justice Center that shows proof of Bealer leaving the area. During her rebuttal, Deputy District Attorney Donna Daly said BEALER TRIAL Judgesuspendsdeliberation By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The McGlynn Pool, 119 Sycamore St. in Red Bluff, is scheduled to open for the season starting at 1:30 p.m. today and will be offering a variety of ser- vices to the community. "For the first time in about a decade, we have a Red Cross Learn to Swim Program," Rec- reation Supervisor Chris Hurton said. "We have six staff who are Water Safety Instructor certified. It's not that we have had bad life- guards in the past, but the Red Cross training adds structure. There is a progression they build towards to get a larger skill set. That will allow parents to gauge what class they should sign their kids up for." On Friday, the lifeguards were finishing up with the last of their pre-season, eight-hour training that was in addition to the ini- tial 25 hours of training. There will be an additional eight hours of training in the first week and about 90 minutes of on-going training each week, Hurton said. Friday's training included res- cuing in both active and passive drowning victim scenarios, CPR and other basic skills. While in years past, there has been trouble getting the lifeguard positions filled there were 34 ap- plicants this year out of which 12 were selected to be interviewed from which six were selected to join the nine returning guards on staff. "We went out to three job fairs this year and ended up having to decline some good candidates," Hurton said. "Whereas before there was a shortage, we took a new approach in letting them apply, be conditionally hired and then if they passed the class we hired them officially. Previously, they had to take the class first and then had no guarantee of being hired."
