I love this post, thank you. My little Cherokee Momma always taught me that there is a cure for every illness on the planet, but you had to get out in the woods, desert, etc to find it.
Tulessa, thank you. You made my day.

The Latest on the Henry Han Murder Case
Opinion post from the Santa Barbara Independent, full of details:
Nearly four months after Haobshs arrest, and authorities have only just scheduled his preliminary hearing for September 28.
To date, three judges have had their hands on this case.
Murder investigators are notoriously tightlipped. Theyre saying only that Haobsh had an unspecified business relationship with Han, that he killed the Han family for financial gain, and that he did so while lying in wait. This week, documents fell into my lap that provided more detail. They confirmed Han and Haobsh had been trying to start a new business venture Molecular Scientific, LLC together shortly before the murders.
MUCH more at link above.

Of the six principals named, Han is dead and Haobsh is in jail. I spoke with two others, but neither wanted to talk.
and
... he declined to be interviewed, explaining mistakes made by news reporters have a way of getting people seriously hurt.

The visibly slim 27-year-old sat silent as attorneys agreed on a continued preliminary setting for September 27 citing recent "substantial discoveries." The only time the court heard Haobsh's voice was when he responded to a question from the judge with "yes, your honor."
Preliminary Hearing Date Delayed for Santa Barbara-Area Triple-Murder Suspect
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Dec. 9, but that date was vacated and a preliminary hearing setting is set for Dec. 6, according to prosecutor Benjamin Ladinig.

Isn't the 6th before the 9th? The article and its headline make no sense.

In court on Tuesday, Haobsh attorney and the district attorney agreed to tentatively schedule a preliminary hearing in January and February. Reporter Vicky Nguyen spoke with Deputy District Attorney Ben Ladinig, who said additional records and materials about the case is still coming in.
Ladinig turned over a letter written by Haobsh to the judge. Ladinig said the letter was dated August 2016, months after the alleged crimes, and addressed to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.
Ladinig could not comment on what was included in the letter.
http://m.independent.com/news/2017/may/31/han-murder-trial-gets-sordid-start/?templates=mobileThe prosecution wasted little time getting to the point in the preliminary hearing for Pierre Haobsh, who is charged with murdering Chinese herbalist Dr. Henry Han; his wife, Jennie Yu; and their 5-year-old daughter, Emily Han, in their Goleta home on March 23, 2016. According to Santa Barbara County’s Sheriff’s Office Detective Jeffrey McDonald, on the night of the killing, Haobsh confessed to a Thousand Oaks associate named T.J. Direda that he had killed the Han family; Haobsh had been unsuccessfully trying to enlist Direda’s assistance in disposing of the three bodies.
McDonald testified that Haobsh explained he had killed Han for $20 million he believed Han possessed and that he had access to Han’s bank account via his cell phone. McDonald also testified that Haobsh described to Direda how he’d wrapped the three bodies up in plastic sheets, taped with duct tape, after shooting the victims.
The second text was made shortly after Haobsh had returned to the Han home to dispose of the bodies. By then the bodies had been discovered, and there was an abundance of law enforcement. “Am screwed,” the text read. "They just found everything. My life’s over.”
District Attorney Joyce Dudley has never sought the death penalty in any prosecution during her term in office. Typically, that determination isn’t made until after the preliminary hearing has concluded. No such determination has been made yet in the Haobsh case either, but prosecutor Dozer gave a hint that this might be the first.
