What a bizarre case. Gwen, I hadn't thought of a party not being available, but that's an interesting possibility. My first thought when I read about it was that the searches in January and this weekend were critical to the hearing going forward, from LE's and the court's perspective. My guess is that they thought for sure they'd be able to file specific criminal charges by the hearing date, and convinced the judge of that as well. Since there was nothing found (presumably) they are still in a holding pattern with regard to the "overlap of evidence". Is there a plausible scenario in which something WAS found last weekend, thereby delaying the hearing again? I'm just baffled by all the twists and lack of information.
