The gruesome death of Kathleen Noble in 1989 was unsolved for 10 years before prosecutors charged Mark Hensley, Noble’s roommate and a former Santa Clara County resident, with her murder.

Gavin Newsom to encourage him to reverse the decision.\r\n",

Flames sweep through rugged terrain near Santa Maria, California, forcing evacuations and endangering nearby communities and wildlife. Firefighters battle extreme heat, shifting winds and dry vegetation as they work to contain the rapidly expanding wildfire. The blaze, fueled by ongoing drought and high temperatures, sends thick smoke across the region, prompting air quality warnings and road closures. The Gifford Fire becomes one of the largest wildfires of the season in California, illustrating the intensifying impact of climate change on fire behavior and frequency in the American West. Authorities continue to monitor fire lines while urging residents to remain alert to changing conditions. ",

With no forced entry and Hensley holding the only other key to the apartment, he became a prime suspect.[aside postID=news_12050640 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250801-BERKELEY-OSHA-DEATH-MD-05-KQED.jpg']“It was a thorough reexamination,” Wagstaffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hensley, who had moved to Virginia but was originally from Los Altos Hills, was arrested on Dec. 20, 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors argued that Hensley made romantic overtures to Noble, which were rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He made an effort one night to get romantic with her, to get physical with her. She declined it and he beat her to death,” Wagstaffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Wagstaffe, the jurors were most impressed by the testimony of Dana Margulies, Hensley’s ex-fiancée in Virginia. She told the court that Hensley choked her “almost to unconsciousness” when she broke up with him, several years after Noble’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her graphic testimony, plus circumstantial evidence, clinched a guilty verdict of first-degree murder and a sentence of 25 years to life. Hensley \u003ca href=\"https://www.rwcpulse.com/blogs/from-the-crime-files/2022/06/16/blog-slow-justice-for-kathleen-noble/\">successfully appealed\u003c/a> and changed the conviction to second-degree murder, with a sentence of 15 years to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hensley appeared to \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2009/10/29/murderer-deemed-not-suitable-for-parole/\">admit responsibility\u003c/a> for Noble’s death in 2016, when he told a parole board that he hit his roommate with a champagne bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Thursday parole hearing was attended by Noble’s sister and two brothers, all of whom strongly opposed his release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Noble, Kathleen’s twin brother, who did not attend the hearing, said the news was both a “painful shock” but something the family also expected, after attending multiple parole hearings over the years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a cold case,” he told KQED. “He had 10 years of freedom. That time should be added onto his sentence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagstaffe said the parole board considered the Youthful Offender Law and the Elder Parole Law, which allows for early parole consideration for people 50 or older who have served 20 or more years of their sentence. The board also noted that Hensley had not had any recent rule violations at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center state prison, ultimately finding him suitable for release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data released by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2019 showed that people 55 and older make up about \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/research/wp-content/uploads/sites/174/2021/11/201912_DataPoints.pdf\">16% of California’s incarcerated population\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, it costs California a little more than \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/policyareas/cj/6_cj_inmatecost\">$106,000 per year\u003c/a> to keep someone in prison, according to the state Legislative Analyst’s Office. While the agency doesn’t track expenses by age group, the nonpartisan office \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/handouts/crimjust/2010/Elderly_Inmates_05_11_10.pdf\">reported\u003c/a> that in other states, it can cost two to three times more to incarcerate an older person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su Kim, senior policy manager for parole justice nonprofit UnCommon Law, said elderly parole has been successful “in releasing elderly people who do not pose a danger and reducing exorbitant incarceration costs, all without any trade-off in public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim cited \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/research/wp-content/uploads/sites/174/2024/11/FY-2018-19-BPH-Supplemental-Recidivism-Report.pdf\">a CDCR report\u003c/a> that showed an elderly parole recidivism rate of just 2.4%, and less than 1% for crimes against a person — 20 times lower than the overall CDCR recidivism rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If parole consideration is concerned primarily with public safety,” Kim said, “then advanced age absolutely needs to be taken into consideration given the indisputable evidence that people age out of crime and violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a murder conviction, Hensley’s case must now go through an administrative review and then must be approved or reversed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, Wagstaffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Noble and Wagstaffe both said they would write letters to Newsom to encourage him to reverse the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort, however, “doesn’t bring Kathleen back,” Noble said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/shossaini\">\u003cem>Sara Hossaini\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

She told the court that Hensley choked her “almost to unconsciousness” when she broke up with him, several years after Noble’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her graphic testimony, plus circumstantial evidence, clinched a guilty verdict of first-degree murder and a sentence of 25 years to life. Hensley \u003ca href=\"https://www.rwcpulse.com/blogs/from-the-crime-files/2022/06/16/blog-slow-justice-for-kathleen-noble/\">successfully appealed\u003c/a> and changed the conviction to second-degree murder, with a sentence of 15 years to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hensley appeared to \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2009/10/29/murderer-deemed-not-suitable-for-parole/\">admit responsibility\u003c/a> for Noble’s death in 2016, when he told a parole board that he hit his roommate with a champagne bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Thursday parole hearing was attended by Noble’s sister and two brothers, all of whom strongly opposed his release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Noble, Kathleen’s twin brother, who did not attend the hearing, said the news was both a “painful shock” but something the family also expected, after attending multiple parole hearings over the years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a cold case,” he told KQED. “He had 10 years of freedom. That time should be added onto his sentence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagstaffe said the parole board considered the Youthful Offender Law and the Elder Parole Law, which allows for early parole consideration for people 50 or older who have served 20 or more years of their sentence. The board also noted that Hensley had not had any recent rule violations at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center state prison, ultimately finding him suitable for release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data released by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2019 showed that people 55 and older make up about \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/research/wp-content/uploads/sites/174/2021/11/201912_DataPoints.pdf\">16% of California’s incarcerated population\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, it costs California a little more than \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/policyareas/cj/6_cj_inmatecost\">$106,000 per year\u003c/a> to keep someone in prison, according to the state Legislative Analyst’s Office. While the agency doesn’t track expenses by age group, the nonpartisan office \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/handouts/crimjust/2010/Elderly_Inmates_05_11_10.pdf\">reported\u003c/a> that in other states, it can cost two to three times more to incarcerate an older person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su Kim, senior policy manager for parole justice nonprofit UnCommon Law, said elderly parole has been successful “in releasing elderly people who do not pose a danger and reducing exorbitant incarceration costs, all without any trade-off in public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim cited \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/research/wp-content/uploads/sites/174/2024/11/FY-2018-19-BPH-Supplemental-Recidivism-Report.pdf\">a CDCR report\u003c/a> that showed an elderly parole recidivism rate of just 2.4%, and less than 1% for crimes against a person — 20 times lower than the overall CDCR recidivism rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If parole consideration is concerned primarily with public safety,” Kim said, “then advanced age absolutely needs to be taken into consideration given the indisputable evidence that people age out of crime and violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a murder conviction, Hensley’s case must now go through an administrative review and then must be approved or reversed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, Wagstaffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Noble and Wagstaffe both said they would write letters to Newsom to encourage him to reverse the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort, however, “doesn’t bring Kathleen back,” Noble said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/shossaini\">\u003cem>Sara Hossaini\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Over the weekend, the blaze grew out of multiple smaller wildfires that sparked Friday afternoon along Highway 166.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire has so far spanned southern Santa Barbara and northern San Luis Obispo counties. As of Monday morning, it was still spreading north and south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Padres National Forest spokesperson Flemming Bertelsen said that the southern direction is a multiple-front fire and has entered the San Rafael Wilderness — one of the first wilderness areas in the country to gain federal preservation protections.[aside postID=science_1998021 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2025/08/240109-CAWindStorm-069_qed.jpg']The area’s status makes firefighting more difficult, Bertelsen said, in part because it prohibits crews from using certain tools, like specialized bulldozers and chainsaws, without federal permission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were doing our best to try to keep it out of the wilderness,” Bertelsen said. “Once the fire gets established in pretty much any wilderness area, it’s significantly more challenging to stop due to the lack of roads and trails and fuel breaks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The topography on the northern front of the fire is slightly more forgiving, Bertelsen said, and to the northeast, the blaze has already run into an area that burned in a separate, fully contained wildfire. He said firefighters are focused on ensuring flames don’t reach another wilderness area, the Machesna Mountain Wilderness, farther north.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the steep, sloping terrain and critically dry brush and other fuels in the area, Bertelsen said it’s likely that tall columns of smoke and gases will form within the fire throughout the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just imagine lighting a match, turning it upside down and observing how much faster it burns and how much more aggressively it burns,” he said. “When you have everything coming into alignment — the steep slopes, continuous fuels, the wind and then the solar radiation — it kind of sets things up to burn aggressively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840687\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840687\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A building destroyed at Calistoga Ranch in the Napa Valley on Sept. 30, 2020, after the Glass Fire tore through the area. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Monday’s weather is supposed to be slightly more favorable for fire suppression, Bertelsen said, “We’re still a long ways off from hooking around these flaming fronts and buttoning them up to the point where we can say we’re approaching containment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, there have been three fire-related injuries. One person driving a car along Highway 166 shortly after the blaze began Friday was burned, and two others were injured while conducting a utility check in the area.

He said firefighters are focused on ensuring flames don’t reach another wilderness area, the Machesna Mountain Wilderness, farther north.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the steep, sloping terrain and critically dry brush and other fuels in the area, Bertelsen said it’s likely that tall columns of smoke and gases will form within the fire throughout the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just imagine lighting a match, turning it upside down and observing how much faster it burns and how much more aggressively it burns,” he said. “When you have everything coming into alignment — the steep slopes, continuous fuels, the wind and then the solar radiation — it kind of sets things up to burn aggressively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840687\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840687\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45154_008_KQED_Napa_GlassFire_09302020-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A building destroyed at Calistoga Ranch in the Napa Valley on Sept. 30, 2020, after the Glass Fire tore through the area. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Monday’s weather is supposed to be slightly more favorable for fire suppression, Bertelsen said, “We’re still a long ways off from hooking around these flaming fronts and buttoning them up to the point where we can say we’re approaching containment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, there have been three fire-related injuries.

For example, he said, “No one wants you to be on a jury if the case is about race discrimination and you already have preconceived biases coming in one way or another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re uncomfortable being honest in an open court, Sanford recommends that you ask to approach the bench and speak to the judge privately about what you’re thinking.

How much time from your work (and your personal life) should you set aside for the case?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That depends on the type of case you’re assigned to, said Solano County’s Walker. In her experience, a case involving a DUI may take a few days. “If it’s a big felony case, because there’s more to introduce, those will take longer,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, it’s likely that you won’t know what type of case you’re assigned to until you’re sitting down inside the courthouse for your orientation. If you’re assigned to a complicated case — which could involve certain felonies like murder or other violent crimes — and you believe that you cannot fulfill the responsibilities of a juror for several weeks, \u003cem>this \u003c/em>is the moment when you need to let the court know about any potential hardships you’re experiencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do I get time off from work for jury duty?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In California, employers \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/howtofilelinkcodesections.htm\">are required by law\u003c/a> to give you time off to serve on a jury.

They never talked to me about him at all, actually.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through his attorney, Weible denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records obtained by KQED from San Ramon Valley Unified show that in 2011, police and district personnel found unused condoms on the desk, a condom wrapper on the ground and a used condom in the garbage can. The district reprimanded him, instructing him to “refrain from inappropriate conduct while on school property” and to stop staying overnight on school property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the records, Weible argued that the professional theatre industry uses condoms as a protective measure against the moisture damage of wireless body microphone transmitters. He said his sound manager had accidentally purchased the wrong type of condoms.[aside postID=news_12050036 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/DeltaSFOGetty.jpg']The suit claimed that Weible’s inappropriate behavior was frequently on display. He gave students side hugs, hand massages and had female students sit on his lap, the suit alleged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re an institution managing multiple schools, and you’re just going to keep blowing clear, crazy red flags off? How many kids are you going to hurt to protect your reputation?” Doe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, district Superintendent CJ Cammack said the allegations are deeply disturbing, and the case does not reflect “the high quality of our SRVUSD teachers and staff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cammack said the district followed all legally required hiring practices and, in recent years, has made comprehensive improvements to its hiring and background check procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am confident that our current staff are committed to acting responsibly and with vigilance in support of student safety,” Cammack wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weible resigned from San Ramon Valley Unified in 2012. Records obtained by KQED show that as part of his separation agreement, the district promised only to share basic details of his job, like dates of employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district also agreed not to provide any negative comments or give a negative impression about Weible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who does that protect?” said Lauren Cerri, the attorney representing the victims. “It doesn’t protect the students. It protects the district and it protects him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Cerri, San Ramon Valley Unified did not report Weible to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the state agency with the authority to revoke teaching credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the lawsuit was filed in February 2024, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbalawfirm.com/second-sexual-abuse-victim-sues-san-ramon-valley-unified-school.html\">a second victim came forward\u003c/a>, alleging Weible sexually assaulted her on school grounds from the beginning of the 2011 school year at San Ramon Valley High School.
