A California couple has been convicted of felony child abuse for severely harming their infant son through extreme heat/cold and malnourishment.
Their son, now 5-years-old, suffered permanent brain damage, leaving him a quadriplegic unable to walk, talk, or see...
...and the families of the victims a lot of additional trauma. No circus of a trial, no three or four decades of appeals, just lock him away and let him rot. Some closure at least.
Very frustrating with these endless delays, hearings, etc, but par for the course in many states and localities.
I followed a murder case in Florida where there were literally hundreds of hearings etc before a trial was finally held. That was the murder of Nancy Bruneau by her adult son, who was...
Her trial was set to start and then suddenly rescheduled. I cannot find any other details as the article I looked at was behind a paywall. Many local newspapers require a subscription now to read online.
Here we go again, and again, and again...without end.
Next court date, June 10, 2025.
Endless hearings. Five and a half years since her arrest for this heinous crime. I know this is California, but really! WTH?!
Preliminary hearing was held in December, 2024 and the three suspects bound over for trial on murder and other charges. Who knows how long that will take. I'll try to get access to Orange County court records to update.
Okay, I did find an article from 2017. Hearing postponed as the court is examining his mental competency. Nothing after that. So.... I'm thinking he may have been judged unfit for trial and committed to the state mental hospital. I don't know at this point what eventually happened.
Hearing...
Something nudged me to check on this case, and...nothing. Not a word anywhere after 2013. The alleged killer is not in the state inmate locator, and I cannot find out the disposition of the case. I shop at this Walmart more frequently now and will remember the victim as I enter the store.
Rest...
Next court date:
5/22/2025
I only have access to an L.A. County inmate search which does update the court dates but gives no other details.
She remains in jail on $2 million bail. This is L.A. County so one must be very patient, as this might drag on for years before an actual trial is held.
Only time will tell if an actual trial begins on August 11th. The dreaded "pretrial conference" in June could easily result in another continuance. We've seen it in countless other cases. Hundreds of motions, hearings, continuances, etc and 5-7 years before trial. System broken.
I appreciate...
