I looked up this 995 PC:

A motion under Penal Code § 995 is known as a “995 Motion.” It asks a judge to dismiss the whole or just parts of an information (the criminal complaint after a preliminary hearing) when the judge at the preliminary hearing in the matter failed to do so.

Is this case ever going to trial? The poor victims families, what a nightmare this is for them.

Is this case ever going to trial? The poor victims families, what a nightmare this is for them.

I am waiting a similar outcome to "Nubia Barahona". Tons of hearings, changing attorneys, and finally, perpetrator is "Not Competent" for trial. And it goes no where.

The courts cater to the defendants in so many high profile cases
Who cares,about victims families? Not our court system
Defense attorneys play their little delay games and,drag cases out for years
It is disgusting and frustrating!!!!

 

[PrairieWind]

So we are 2 1/2 years later and where is this case at?

Give it another three or four years. There still needs to be several hundred more motions, filings, etc before a trial can commence.

Now where is the sarcasm emoji?

Only time will tell if an actual trial begins on August 11th. The dreaded "pretrial conference" in June could easily result in another continuance. We've seen it in countless other cases. Hundreds of motions, hearings, continuances, etc and 5-7 years before trial. System broken.
I appreciate folks keeping track of this case.
