Torrance Courthouse Theft / Robbery Case Results
The Torrance Courthouse handles misdemeanor theft / robbery offenses in three courtrooms (P, 2 and 5) in general. Judge George Bird is in Department P and hears matters arising in Torrance and Lomita. Judge Rene Gilbertson is in Department 2 and hears matters arising in Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach. Judge Amy Carter is in Department 5 and hears matters arising in Redondo Beach and Gardena. The misdemeanor cases start in Department 3 with Judge David Reinert before being transferred to P, 2 and 5.
Felony theft / robbery cases can be heard in many more courtrooms, but usually start in Department 4 with Judge Thomas Sokolov, proceed to Department 8 with Judge Nicole Bershon and then are assigned to one of several courtrooms.
Which department hears a particular misdemeanor case is determined by where the arrest took place. Each department has one or more prosecutors assigned to it.
Over time, prosecutors are transferred to other courtrooms.
Prosecutors also change in their approach to theft /robbery cases, some more than others.
