Niner......UPDATE: Once again Covid-19 reared its ugly head and caused the trial to be vacated for Oct 13. No new date has been set.

 

[Niner]

Thank you @Idaho Lynx !

 

[Niner]

Me again @Idaho Lynx - just going thru my list & wondering if there might be a court date for Molina? Or is it too early (again?!)?

TIA!

Niner: Are you sitting down? New trial set for April 19, 2021. APRIL!! Holy Toledo....the wheels of justice have clanged to a dead stop.

So I checked Amanda Dunlap's schedule. Her trial is still showing set for December 2020; but I am sure it will be vacated in the near future since her trial dates seem to always be set after Molina's trial. Hit me up down the line to check this again.

APRIL!!??!! Well - I guess the virus is probably to blame for this change. I'll check back in - maybe a 2 weeks or so - maybe Molina will have another court date set for a hearing then.
Thanks for the info!

Well - almost a week... @Idaho Lynx !
Anything new for either one?

TIA!
