@Idaho Lynx - was wondering if there is a new court date yet for Molina?

TIA!

Niner: Are you sitting down? New trial set for April 19, 2021. APRIL!! Holy Toledo....the wheels of justice have clanged to a dead stop.

So I checked Amanda Dunlap's schedule. Her trial is still showing set for December 2020; but I am sure it will be vacated in the near future since her trial dates seem to always be set after Molina's trial. Hit me up down the line to check this again.

APRIL!!??!! Well - I guess the virus is probably to blame for this change. I'll check back in - maybe a 2 weeks or so - maybe Molina will have another court date set for a hearing then.
Thanks for the info!
