[Niner]

Hey @SeesSeas - sorry to bother you, but I can't find anyone else to look up this case for me....

His trial is supposed to start in March, 2020 - but I highly doubt it! Anything "new" on the court site? TIA!

@SeesSeas - hmmm.... "Judicial Call of the Trial" - do you think that means the trial IS happening on 3/9? Sort of late start for a trial at 1:30pm.... ??

 

[Niner]

Okay - I googled that term & here is what I came up with:

What does this mean? It means that the offender either chooses to have a judge hear the case and waives their right to a jury trial, or they choose to have a jury hear their trial.

So - no trial yet....

My post last month:

They have scheduled, and then cancelled, the trial every month for the past TEN MONTHS!

03/09/2020 is the 11th "Judicial Call of the Trial" - one every month since 05/06/2019.
All at 1:30 pm. All previous dates 'continued' or 'moved'. Bizarre!
