Overview
- The San Diego judge ordered Jeffry (Jeff Scott) Brandenburg to supervised release with GPS tracking, no weapons, and drug monitoring.
- Judge Frank Birchak pointed to the 32-year lapse with no sign of recent violence and Brandenburg’s age of 18 at the time of the alleged crime.
- Deputy District Attorney John Philpott sought no bail or $2 million and told the court that old DNA from the evidence matches Brandenburg.
- Brandenburg pleaded not guilty, and the court set a preliminary hearing for July 28.
- Detectives say forensic investigative genetic genealogy led to his identification before his arrest in Santa Cruz and transfer to San Diego in the 1994 stabbing of Clive Bland near Tourmaline Surf Park, with police still asking for tips.
