Not only is there a hearing today. Today would have been Erin's younger sister's 16th birthday if she was still with us.
What does this Criminal proceedings suspended means
so the defense has motioned (and the court of appeals has granted) a motion of stay meaning the case doesn't move forward until the DA responds or a new judge is chosen for this case. Today they set another hearing date of June 30th. Which means criminal proceedings are suspended until this is worked out.
The headline would have us believe that the resemblance between the judge and the defendant is the reason they are asking for a new judge. Upon reading the article, though, I don't think that's the case. Do you agree?
That said, I can see why that headline was tempting. There is quite a resemblance. Yikes!!
