(Annette Buttner Gonzalez gets a new attorney)…She was in Court this week.

The purpose was to ask the judge to replace her current public defender. Buttner Gonzalez is an Imperial County Office of Education Trustees, charged with two felonies relating to her not telling the truth as to her residence. She claims her residence is in Calexico. The District Attorney’s office claims she does not. The prosecution says Buttner Gonzalez does not live anywhere in Imperial County. This week she asked the Superior Court judge to replace her current attorney Jason Gundel. She said he was married to Judge  Eran Bermudez. Buttner Gonzalez argued that the San Diego Law Firm Bermudez had been a part of had represented the ICOE in the past. She said that created a conflict for her attorney. The judge granted the request and Buttner Gonzalez will get a new attorney.
