Bingo! He is scheduled in Superior Court for 09/24/18!! But it's not listed as "Trial." We must be getting close, however.
He's listed for something called "SUPERIOR COURT M&A," but I don't know what "M&A" means -- I do know if the word, "
TRIAL" were there instead of "SUPERIOR COURT M&A," it very well could be a trial, but sometimes even that "TRIAL" designation lists other names/cases that are somehow handled in that courtroom at that time. But the big deal here is the word, "Superior." That's the Big Time, as we know. Maybe the "M&A" is scheduling the actual trial, or maybe plea-deals are being heard for some of the named persons, or maybe the defense is asking for a waiver of a jury trial. The Court must process all cases in a courtroom with all the necessary principals present.
So anyway, something is happening with this man in a Superior Courtroom on the 24th of this month.
We'll just have to wait & see, and check MSM for any details.
