CA - Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37, speeds through intersection kills 6, including pregnant woman in fiery crash, Los Angeles, 4 Aug. '22

[JoeFromLB]

Par for the course in California for this to drag out indefinitely. At least she's confined and not able to hurt or kill anyone else.
Hoping for the right verdict here when she finally answers in court.

I think many of us will be long gone from this world by the time Nicole Linton ever faces a trial. Meanwhile, her besties will be be doing everything possible to sway public opinion to be sympathetic to her, rather than the victims.

So is this "trial" scheduled on May 28th the preliminary hearing or the actual jury trial? I'm confused.

This case is surely crawling very slowly thru the court system

Sorry MY mistake.... for some reason I read it wrong - no trial - it will be a preliminary hearing on 5/28. From the court site:

[JoeFromLB]

I wouldn't be surprised if this preliminary hearing was "reset" several more times before she's actually bound over for trial. Once that happens, we might see several more years of motions and hearings before a jury is seated.
Very frustrating, but what can you do...at least she's not going anywhere.

The only good thing about this case is that this woman remains locked up-- I wonder why there are so many delays in this case- it is frustrating!

Yes, frustrated in deed! And no articles explaining why the delays....

 

[JoeFromLB]

This is California and specifically, L.A. County. These long delays are routine in such high profile cases. Often it's more than five years before a trial takes place. It really is a scandal but what can be done? I haven't the faintest idea. But yes, very frustrating.

I think that really, the only defense here is to stall, and finally get her declared incompetent for trial.
