This is unreal. I don’t understand how this is possible. There hasn’t been anything released about SW time behind bars either. It’s been quiet and stagnant.

Well as usual - not finding anything on this case for recent articles.

So @jash is the court site updated yet? Wonder what happened yesterday? Are defense ready for trial or is it postponed... again... :(

TIA! :)

This is weird - they scheduled a hearing at the same time as the trial is set to begin. Hope it's not a sign of more delays.
