Hobson is charged with the mid-February death of his wife, Anu Anand Hobson, 53, of Fairfield, whose burned remains were found March 4 in rural Fresno County.
A 61-year-old Fairfield man accused of the mid-February death of his wife sat silently, looking haggard and lacking sleep, as his lawyer entered a not-guilty plea to a murder charge Thursday in Solano County Superior Court.
Gregory Grant Hobson’s attorney, Solano County Chief Deputy Public Defender Oscar J. Bobrow, entered the plea during the early afternoon session in Department 11, where Hobson faced jail arraignment, in the Justice Center in Fairfield. Hobson registered no visible emotional response to Bobrow’s statement to Judge William J. Pendergast during the brief proceeding in the Justice Center in Fairfield.The judge then assigned the case to Department 23, Judge John B. Ellis’ courtroom, and ordered Hobson to return there at 8:30 a.m. April 13 for a readiness conference and a preliminary hearing setting.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Bruce Flynn will lead the prosecution. His criminal complaint, filed Feb. 21, indicated investigators believe Hobson killed Anu Anand Hobson, 53, of Fairfield, on or around Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day. Hobson’s latest court proceeding came two days after Fairfield police confirmed Anu’s death and nearly four weeks after he was arrested on suspicion of her death.that burned remains discovered in rural Fresno County on March 3 belong to Anu. The remains, found with the aid of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, were in the custody of the Fresno County Coroner’s Office and were to be transferred to the Solano County Coroner’s Office.
