GUILTY CA - Elizabeth Sullivan, 31, San Diego, 13 Oct 2014 *Arrest*

[Niner]

Any local news on sentencing or if it did not happen? The court site still shows it happened on 4/13.
TIA!

 

[Niner]

Just tried searching for a recent article, but just coming up with oldies. Anyone local? Any news on sentencing?

TIA!

 

[Niner]

so.... nothing from the locals?? I sure haven't found anything...

Court site still says the same thing... No pending events.

 

[yeshax]

I have tried to find something too but like you, found nothing. Very frustrating.

 

[Niner]

Wondering if anyone local has found any sentencing for Sullivan??

TIA!

05/28/2020 appears to be the next...thing...whatever you want to call it. COVID is making it drag along. But the above site is where you can check on his status. Also, Amazing that Kay is still pinning after him....disturbing.KayTaylor (@kay.taylor_2) • Instagram photos and videos

 

[Niner]

Thank for that info @WellDrawn !
I can't access the jail site - is there a time of the hearing? Does it say "Sentencing" or just "hearing"?
Can you copy/paste what it says?

and

to WS & this thread!
