GUILTY TX - James Faith, AA tech director, fatally shot walking his dog, Dallas, 9 Oct 2020 *ARRESTS/wife*

[Seattle1]

Doesn’t he have some federal charges on this?

Yes, he does -- violating federal firearms law.

 

[Niner]

Yes, he does -- violating federal firearms law.

And I have a note to NOT ask you about this until the State trial is over.

There must have been a glitch when I tried searching for him this morning. He came up just now for me. They are taking a while to put up another hearing before trial. I shall keep checking the court site for maybe a hearing date before trial.

Thanks for checking this out.

Interesting that the court also added a second chair to his defense. Suprising but I guess he's really going to trial.

On the 2nd item here - I can hardly read the handwriting, but there is a date of July 24, 2023 but can not make out what it is for?? Another hearing? Trial won't start April 3rd??

The Court site is down for maintenance at the moment so can't look it up there. But then it does not update much anyway....

I think I can add some clarification here:

The case was set for trial by jury on 4/3/23 but by defense motion dated 3/23/23, the defense requested a continuance after it received voluminous military & medical records from the federal govt on 3/8/23 pursuant to the defense's request dated Nov 2022.

Defense motioned they needed more time to review and index the records for discovery and also locate military and/or federal govt expert witnesses.

The slip sheet dated 3/24/23 provides that the defense motion for continuance was granted -- prompting jury selection on Friday, July 21, 2023, and the Trial set for Monday, July 24, 2023.

Okay - thanks for the explanation! You are SO good at explaining things!

Okay - thanks for the explanation! You are SO good at explaining things!

I have to say that I'm surprised that it took DL's defense more than two years to seek his military and medical records after we've long known about his traumatic brain injury and discharge from service.

Faith admits to reconnecting with Lopez, a former boyfriend, in March of 2020 and over months making affectionate statements such as, “In you, I have everything I’ve ever wanted.”

She learned that Lopez had sustained a traumatic brain injury from IED while deployed as a soldier in Iraq; admitted she told Lopez that her husband was physically and sexually abusing her; and repeated those assertions while pretending to be her husband.

She misled Dickson ex-boyfriend now charged with murder. Her sentence: Life in prison.

A Texas woman was sentenced to life in federal prison after admitting to deceiving a Dickson County man who is charged with killing her husband.

I just now read this case from the beginning under the title “ARRESTS/wife”.
It was fun seeing all websleuthers had this one figured out from the get go, page 1.

I notice that the Docket sheet said 7/24/23 but the court site has 7/21/23. Now wondering if jury selection starts on 7/21/23 & the trial on 7/24?
