There are 64 items on Wednesday's calendar and I can't believe the Shover brothers are finally on the docket. I'm afraid it's going to be a painful day of horrific details for Aranda's family

Thanks for the "name" of the hearing - the jail site doesn't have that. I have changed my notes.
Can't believe we are only at the preliminary hearing stage....

Finally -- after about 18 continuances and settlement conferences !! I recall early on the DA said they had a lot of evidence to go over.

DA commented that there are 1800 pages of evidence, and 12 CD's of photos. Hope more will be shared at the preliminary hearing..

Maybe when you have time @Seattle1 - you can check for me the "name" of the hearing. Wonder "what" happened at their preliminary hearing? Plead guilty? Probably not, eh?
TIA!

Will do --but I can only access the court calendar with this information 7 days in advance so I guess that's Aug 1!

I've spent hours scrubbing for any crumb about the long-awaited preliminary hearing and not a word from even the family that were only weeks ago soliciting for support to fill the limited seats in the Courtroom.

I believe the defendants and attorneys are still appearing in court via video and I wonder if there was some technical difficulty and the hearing continued?

 

[Niner]

Okay - on the the checking out date!

Strange it is that there is not more news on this case... I guess there is no place on the Riverside court site where you can actually "see" the documents, eh?

CA court docs are all fee-based!

OK, this is what I could get for GARY SHOVER from a different site:

A couple of observations about last Wednesday's Preliminary Hearing and the recently scheduled August 7, Felony Settlement Conference Hearing (FSC).

I don't believe the preliminary hearing happened on Wednesday because there was no media coverage and no update from the family or tweets on what should have been a very raw and revealing hearing. (Even though the hearing remained on the court calendar Weds).

Relative to another FSC hearing in August, it doesn't follow that we're back to what happens following an arraignment. Do they want to attempt to settle or talk plea deals again? They already had 18 months of FSC's without making an ounce of progress towards a guilty plea -- or handing over Aranda's remains.

To be clear, a Felony Settlement Conference, scheduled again for August 7, is similar to a Trial Readiness Conference (TRC) and consists of exchanging discovery (info about the case) and attempting to negotiate a final determination of the case. If the attorneys are unable to resolve the case then a Preliminary Hearing is set (which was scheduled for July 8).

That's where we are. Tune in again on August 7!

 

[Niner]

I believe you @Seattle1 - probably no preliminary hearing last week. Hopefully a plea deal in the works would be nice! Thanks for getting it straight here!

Family posted on their page that hearing not held due to COVID19. I actually questioned that post because the Aug 7 hearing is noted as another felony settlement conference and not a preliminary hearing. I'll wait and see if there's a response.

This is ridiculous. It shouldn’t take YEARS for a trial, much less a prelim hearing. I’m disgusted with all the rights and protections that accused get.

The two defendants have been dragging the system because they can -- there is no body and we do not know the strength of the case or evidence the prosecutor has for this case because there's been no preliminary hearing yet.

I anticipate the defense is trying to work out a deal in exchange for the location of Aranda's remains. Both guys are relatively young and want some assurance they will get out one day. Tragic but I'm sure it's being considered. MOO

I don't think there was a hearing on 8/7 and I missed the court calendar to confirm but I do know that the October 2, 2020 is another felony settlement conference which we all know can be continued for months on end just as it had been until we were wrongly led to believe the preliminary hearing was about to happen! Grrrrrrrrrrr.
