Still can't read it. He was convicted and is in prison isn't he?

What the hell is a status hearing. I don't get the auS justic system it seems slow and ridiculous.

What the hell? Hearing for what?

I can't access due to EU

Apparently a post-conviction petition challenges a sentence based on violations of constitutional rights.

Procedural appeals BS.

It sounds like someone or some group has a petition challenging his sentence.
From the article:

"In 2019, the Third District Appellate Court upheld the conviction and sentence: McVay was sentenced to 40 years for the murder charge, and five years for concealment of a homicidal death, with the charges to run consecutively – one after the other.

Over the years, the case has drawn national attention and has been featured on true-crime television shows and podcasts.

According to Illinois Legal Aid Online, the Post-Conviction Hearing Act controls post-conviction petitions. A post-conviction petition challenges a sentence based on violations of constitutional rights."
