Despite what their parenting skills might be, it must have been an absolutely gut wrenching decision to give two more children to the system which has already killed one of theirs. It's hard enough to decide to give up your child, and I'm sure they weren't given much choice, but I can not...

That doesn't suprise me at all. In fact, I was suprised that they hadn't tried to move it out from the beginning!

I've been told that the judge has given the defense a firm "no" on any trial extention. Judge feels 6 months is plenty of time for them to catch up and be prepared. That however is not official, published information.

What do you think the chances are of the public deffenders office having more availability for trials and the trial moving up? I suppose it's little-to-none considering the ammount of time the new folks will need to get the case all straightened out, but here's to wishful thinking!

Yes, I wish they would release more information about their "history" in the UK. The fact that she was allowing the adult boyfriend of the teenage daughter to live with them makes me wonder if there is a history of sexual abuse within the family, or physical abuse/domestic violence, maybe even...

No new news, but more detailed info on these people has been released. It's a good article. http://www.nevadaappeal.com/article/SS/20070822/NEWS/70822006

Oops, ha - I don't even know what day it is. The testimony would have been earlier this morning if it even happened!

The judge is supposed to hear the testimony from the three witness' TOMORROW at 8:30am, Dept. 2. I would guess that it will be closed door. And it won't happen if Kovacich's lawyers get what they want - which is to be let off the case. In my opinion, thats a stall measure...

Did you find an article? I couldn't find one. Just wondering if they named the witness'.

Although you could still go and take notes because I would guess they'll reveal who the witness' are, and a general idea of how detrimental the testimony is.

I think it is just the "motions" being heard on Aug 10, not the testimony. I don't know that for sure, but that's what I'm guessing. I wish the reporters would make this more clear in their writings. They act as if we all understand the legal system perfectly.

Her parents are deceased, I think. Thats an interesting motion. I mean, it means having to know now what questions to ask - minimal time to prepare, and then it would give them the possible opportunity to ask more questions later which is more than most people get when they're on trial. It...

FYI, Kovacich got out on bail yesterday. I don't think the media knows yet.

I'm highly irritated that the trial won't start for another year just because his attorney's don't have the availability until then.

Sure enough, there's an article in the Sacramento Bee today about this very topic!
