I’m thinking this case may end up with a plea bargain.
The attorney is labeled as a “super lawyer”, and one of the top 100 in the country. He is known for high profile cases and is a sought after as a media commentator who has been on all the major news networks but has been relatively quiet about this case since the first year. A super lawyer costs the super big bucks.
Every time I’m scrolling google on the suspects name and I see the page linking directly to PayPal, I can’t help but read it as, free the okrah. org. That’s my trick to remember the guys name, “the okrah”.
It’s a first degree murder charge, I can’t help but think all the delay is because that lawyer already knows there’s no chance Theo is getting out, he’s only going to be transferred to prison, a worse place than he is now, so no need for a speedy trial.

Here are some articles from June-August 2016 that make me think the evidence they have against 27 year old Theo Krah of murdering 58 year old Kris Anderson is irrefutable.
Moo.
Starting with no alibi for his location during the murder.
“Krah’s attorney, Anthony Salerno, said he is working to determine where Krah was at the approximate time Anderson was attacked, but it has been difficult to confirm because Krah’s cellphone was out of battery at the time and cannot be used to track his location.”
“Salerno said police seized evidence from Krah’s car, including clothing and knives.”
“ [Lt.] Rodriguez said police pursued Krah because of his altercation with Anderson, as well as other evidence that cannot be disclosed during the pending investigation”

“According to the Santa Monica Police Department, Krah and an unnamed victim had an altercation on the Santa Monica Pier in the afternoon of June 11. Police responded to the scene but neither individual wanted to pursue charges and officers were unable find evidence of a crime. Police said the two did not know each other and the meeting on the pier appeared to be their first interaction.”

“"It's been very much misreported that there was a fight on the pier," Defense Council Anthony Salerno told the Navy Times in a telephone interview last month. "None of that occurred. The police report described both of them as being calm when they came up on them."
“Disturbed, Krah confronted Santa Monica resident Kris Anderson, 58. He placed Anderson in a "bear hug" and asking for someone to call the police, who showed up a few minutes later.”
“Hours later, on June 11, 2016, Police found the photographer dead in front of the Citibank ATM on 5th Street and Santa Monica Blvd. Santa Monica police arrested the 28 year old Navy Seal for murder.” [snip/edited to try to stay within percentage guidelines]
“"As far as it being a case of mistaken identity," said Rodriguez, "we're confident the evidence will prove the charges and we are not looking for another suspect." Lt. Rodriguez would not comment on whether the ATM machine had taken photos. Most do.”

I hope there are no more delays.
