I wonder what Lopez will think when he discovers she fabricated everything evil about Jamie. Hopefully he will testify against her!
I fully expect that to happen. They have him dead to rights, and the best he can do is cut his losses. She's the most culpable, as she set this all in motion.

Her behavior absolutely fascinates me. Did she manufacture an alternate reality for Lopez with the end result in mind, or did she start this whole kooky affair for attention, and it sort of took on a life of its own?

If no one got murdered, this whole scenario would be a madcap escapade/comedy.
 
  • #346
I'm expecting that he will turn on her.

So since Judge Boyles won't publish the calendar, does this mean we won't hear anything until the trial is complete?

Not at all -- just means the court dates are not readily accessible and will have to keep up with the news media for alerts.

@Niner -- no updates for DL since the federal grand jury indictment handed down last March. The federal case will not likely be heard until his state case in Texas concludes. :)

Thanks for all those updates on Faith & Lopez's Federal case!

So - I take it the 11/12/21 for Faith is not going to happen? I noticed in the summaries you posted - it said next was pretrial hearing 2/25/22 - just a few days before trial.
TIA!

Yes, I believe 11/12 was stricken when there was no longer a jury trial on 11/15/21.
The superseding indictment last Sept - Docket #25 ended that when a new case number was created.

Interesting that the alleged co-conspirators' trials are scheduled to begin 4 days apart. I'm expecting DL to turn on JF.

Faith's is a Federal trial & Lopez is State - just wanted to point that out. Lopez has no Federal hearing scheduled at this time.

Okay. That makes sense. Thank you!

I wonder if DL will be offered anything in exchange for testifying against his High School sweetheart?

I'm leaning towards no. It looks as if there is plenty of evidence to convict Mrs. F as things stand. But surely, DL will be a prosecution witness?
