Maybe LE finally handed over the file..... or better yet have decided to re-open the case and do their jobs.
Legal speak is so difficult for those of us who do not "get the jargon"....
I imagine a family suing for evidence and then the case being dismissed, just might mean the "evidence" was finally turned over by the mutual agreement of both parties.
AND more importantly, it could also mean that SDSO said/implied/asserted they
need the evidence to proceed with an "ongoing criminal investigation." (Of course, I am being extremely optimistic in making that supposition.)
If I was the plaintiff in a WDS, I would not agree to anything unless I was assured LE was pursuing a full/thorough investigation, plain and simple.
(The aforementioned observation is from personal/painful experience with that LE agency. I did not stop until I got what was most important to me....to prove my family member was
innocent, to be
released, LE do a proper investigation and put the
real criminal behind bars.)
I support the parents, on both sides of the courtroom, in their quest to get their questions answered....plain and simple. Good night and prayers to all, IQ.:seeya:
