Judge Joseph Guimond has announced that a hearing for death-row inmate Gary Haugen will be held on Friday, October 7th at 9:00am, in courtroom #1B at the Marion County Courthouse, 100 High Street, Salem.

Originally, this hearing date was set for an in-chamber status conference, but at the request of defense attorneys, Judge Guimond is planning to enter into a colloquy with Mr. Haugen to determine his mental competency to waive further appeals of his death sentence. This process will include asking Mr. Haugen a series of questions defined by statute.

KATU 2 will connect a live video feed to the courtroom. Consistent with the prior public access order (which remains in effect for this hearing), there will be no live broadcasting of the proceedings.

Contact Gino Corridori from KATU 2 (503.231.4264) for assistance connecting to the feed.

A copy of the public access order, signed by Judge Guimond on May 12, 2011, is attached to this release. Please be sure that all reporters sent to cover the hearing are familiar with the order.
