I don't know why courts and lawyers do what they do in various cases. I just make guesses sometimes.
Maybe the further away from the actual horror the better for the defendant? Postpone things while emotions become less raw as the images of what transpired become less vivid , at least in some minds?
It seems this case has been allowed to go almost silent. I think it's "odd" too , however, I think that about a lot of cases that don't seem to get the coverage that I feel they should. Often very curious.
I hope someone on here with more knowledge than I will answer your question
It's incredibly rare for a case to stay in the news from the day it first happens to the day of the verdict. Once the suspect is arrested, you are going to have large periods of time where nothing is happening. What is the media suppose to report? There is no news. There are also so many other stories out there that also need the airtime. Stories where the victims are missing or where there has been arrest. Cases like the Boston Bomber, Aurora shooter, Hannah Graham, Freddie Gray...they all left the media at points and then came back when something new happened.
