I've searched and searched, but the last word I've been able to find in the press about Mohammed Whitaker's legal situation is this article from this 5/2/14 Associated Press piece in the Columbia Tribune:
KC highway shooting suspect goes to court
"Whitaker was silent as the judge bound his case over for arraignment May 19 [2014]."
Dozens of news outlets had reported his arrest, but there has been nothing that I could find about a trial, or the case being dropped. There have been subsequent pieces questioning whether he got a bye in press coverage, but not even they updated his legal status or mentioned a trial.
Something is rotten in Denmark.

Defendant is admonished for sharing highway shooting evidence with The Star
Jul 23, 2014 - This is a really, really bad idea, Jackson County Circuit Judge Robert M. Schieber told Mohammed Whitaker while holding up a copy of a Kansas City Star article. Schieber accused Whitaker of making it difficult for him to conduct a fair trial with an impartial jury.

I'm sorry, you are right. I had seen that, and somehow thought it was from earlier than the last reference I'd given. But my point remains that there has been no news of an actual trial.
