Couple more thoughts and I'll stop hogging the thread.
If I had to guess, if one case was actually assigned a trial setting, it was probably Sanchez, as Speaks hasn't even been arraigned yet. Seems premature to be giving a trial setting to someone who isn't even arraigned yet. Just a guess though that could be completely wrong. It could also be that it was just a tentative date and not a firm trial setting. In other words, everyone was at the bench looking at their i-phones to see what their availability is and 1/12 worked so they all pencilled it in without it actually being a firm date. If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised to see that date change once things do become more certain.
IF IF IF that is Sanchez's date though, it tells me if anyone is talking, it is probably Speaks. On the one hand I would have thought Sanchez would be the one to talk if you asked me a year ago. Now, after Speaks got caught up in his own words, he may very well feel the gig is up and be the one that is doing the talking, which would make sense if the 1/12 date is for Sanchez like it seems to me.
Final thought for now...really wish that with the gruesomeness of this case, they would have been charged with 1st degree murder. At least put the death penalty on the table. Not in every case, but in many that involve narcissistic people like this, one thing I seem to see is that they will actually view it as a win if they can plead it down from 1st degree to 2nd degree, thereby avoiding the death penalty such that the State isn't determining when they die. I'm not one who is opposed to the death penalty, but for some reason, I'd prefer these 2 live a long life in prison being miserable every single day of their lives.
