I ON THE COURT
Nantucket Court Report
Following a fairly quiet New Year's weekend the District Court docket began filling to a more normal volume with several cases that had been carried over from last year and a few new arraignments. Because weather prevented a judge and assistant district attorney from getting to the island Monday, most cases were continued.

An arraignment not included on the docket was held late morning for Patricia Newell, 47, of 41R Essex Road who was charged on Jan. 6 with assault to murder. She was released on $1,000 cash bail until her pre-trial hearing Feb. 26. During the interim she must continue a treatment program in which she is already enrolled and notice of her release from that program must be provided to the police prosecutor. She must also stay away from her victim as long as court orders are in effect.
