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.

Raising Canine
The Latest on the Henry Han Murder Case

Opinion post from the Santa Barbara Independent, full of details:

Nearly four months after Haobsh’s 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. They’re 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.

Fascinating info in the article. Thank You. Sounds like there was big money to be made plus a lot of hush-hush and fear involved in the new venture. Wow, they had huge plans in their business venture, and PH ends up killing the doctor, wife, and their little girl. I guess he acted alone, but makes me wonder about PH's connections.

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 man charged with murdering a local doctor and his family was back in court Tuesday. This time, he was wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, thick glasses, and sporting a buzzcut.
(...)

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.


Well of course, delay, delay, delay and a few more delays here and there for good measure.
Thanks for posting, Shana.


Snipped from KayElJays article in post #127, http://www.keyt.com/news/han-family-...esday/41115418
BBM:
Reporter Vicky Nguyen spoke with Haobsh's attorney Christine Voss, who declined to discuss how Haobsh is coping with incarceration. Voss did say, however, she has a lot of documents to review regarding this case. This case is still in its early stages. Blah, Blah, Blah.

Oh for crying out loud, Haobsh murdered Dr. Henry Han, his wife, Jenny and their precious 5 year old daughter, Emily.
I don't give a rats big-booty-behind, how this 🤬🤬🤬 is 'coping' behind bars.

“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.

I think what that means is they are meeting on Dec 6th to set a date for the preliminary hearing since it is no longer Dec 9th. They definitely could have worded the article better.

The delays are frustrating, but there's lots of evidence against him that should keep him behind bars. Wonder what he wrote in that letter.

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.

Just ran a search for updates on this case and nothing new came up. Why? I haven't forgotten three human beings - one was just a little girl! - were killed by this blank faced, greedy man.

:cow: That's my opinion, too, said the cow.

The 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.

Motive was pure greed.

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.

If only a giant would...:python:.


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.”

Money, the root of all evil.
I will never understand how something so monetary can be worth three innocent human lives, including a 5 yo little girl.

This is all just my own opinion. Pierre was suppose to be highly intelligent according to the family's business site. (see earlier posts) He must have lied about how he could help Dr. Han start up his new business ventures when all he wanted was to steal money like a common murdering thief. I don't know if his father is sticking by him. His father had that questionable company and background, IMO. His sister got married in the Santa Barbara area and I wonder if that is how Pierre knew of Dr. Han. Sister (post #52) has worked hard to become a somewhat public figure and hasn't made any comment about her brother's arrest. Used her maiden name on one book, now goes by her married name. She's been busy promoting a new royalty-related novel and raising her own young daughter. I'm sure she's horrified that her brother killed a lovely couple and a five year old little girl.
