Maybe the request for continuance has to do with the fact that Ken Schutt had himself removed as Tammi's attorney in her civil suit, so now she has to find a new attorney to represent her in that.... :waitasec:
What is the civil suit about?
Why one one court case have anything to do with another?
Can't she get a public defender in jail for the civil suit.
Just push the civil court back!
You can't get public defenders in civil cases.
Ok everybody, head over here for your latest comments on Tammi Smith Sentencing....
I found it! Thanks, artsy. There's not much time until the sentencing hearing if it is not delayed for some reason.
Does anyone know the nature of the civil suit? I would assume Logan is suing her as he is the victim in this case. Of course, the ultimate victim is Gabriel. I keep hoping he is found alive some day. I just can't give up on him yet.
OH, O.K. Thank you for that.:banghead:
So I guess that is not the reason.
I hope everything that is happening is
leading to give her more time!lease:
The civil suit has to do with one of her many now-defunct businesses, and this is discussed on the background page. It's mind-boggling how many things this woman has been involved in and how many people have been impacted.
This probably isn't the first case where a defendant has been convicted of felony with civil cases outstanding. This grounds for continuance would make sense if it was defense who submitted it. But it was Prosecution who asked for the continuance.
Since she's already been convicted, prosecution and defense would be next preparing their arguments for aggravators and mitigators. Prosecutors already presented enough evidence for the jury to convict her. Usually they want the sentencing to occur sooner than later.
This leads me to conclude that either they have other cases which are taking precedence, or they have more discovery or evidence to add to the aggravators. I looked up information on Continuance, and it stated these are rarely granted without good cause. So if the judge grants the motion, you can assume they have a good reason to want the sentencing postponed.

When did Healing Waters become defunct?
ETA: This is the case that Ken Schutt withdrew as attorney from:
Case Information
I have no idea. She has so many businesses and etc., I don't even try to figure that stuff out. All I know is it paints a very vivid picture of a warped mind....secretive, with intentions to circumvent the law and standards of society....and the judge surely will take that all into consideration.
Sorry, if you can't understand the post above, go to:

And either type Healing Waters on the line where it says business name or enter case number CV2011-050002 in the box to see the case where Ken Schutt withdrew.

Ok, I thought in your earlier post you meant that Healing Waters was now defunct with your comment "The civil suit has to do with one of her many now-defunct businesses".
I thought maybe you found something that none of us had! LOL:fence:
