SAN LUIS
OBISPO, Calif. - It was an unusual court hearing in San Luis Obispo
Tuesday, that shed new light on a recent kidnapping case. Annette Hale,
the alleged kidnapper, made her first court appearance via a video
arraignment.

Hale is accused of kidnapping 4 year old Jeremy Guthrie last Friday in Atascadero.

Tuesday, when a San Luis Obispo County Judge
asked Hale if she wanted an attorney, she interrupted and explained why
she took Jeremy Guthrie. Hale is claiming she is a CIA Agent and that
on Friday, she was trying to save Jeremy Guthrie. "I'm guilty with an
explanation," said Hale.

She is now facing charges of kidnapping and child endangerment.

Police say Hale kidnapped the young boy from a homeless shelter in Atascadero where he had been staying with his mother.

Hale's daughter spoke to a local newspaper
(TRIBUNE), saying Hale has a history of mental illness. She said quote,
"She's not high functioning… she'll find housing, get evicted and then
live on the streets. Once she's homeless, she's not getting the help
that she needs."

Annette Hale requested a court appointed
attorney. She is expected at the San Luis Obispo Courthouse Wednesday
morning for a formal arraignment. Her bail remains at $1 million
dollars.
