Read this case from the beginning, Obviously she went for a jury trial, These murders suck anything they can out of the “justice” system.
Let out on his own recognizance. Unbelievable.
The informant...I was waiting for a bombshell.
2 rakes.
Missing pills.
Bizarre statement made by RR about the pills.
Just Wow.

Thanks a bunch Mica!
I'm wondering on the attached that someone mis-typed the date of Pretrial hearing for 4/17. It says 4/17 in the 11/29 review of hearing, but has 4/19 as a separate entry. And I see Peat has 4/17 as the next date.
What do you think? Anyone, actually?

I believe the 4/17 date in the review of hearing for RR is a typo.
Attached are the scheduled hearings for RR taken from the Scheduled Hearings and Trial section of the court register. The next hearing is 4/19/19.

I somehow got the feeling when his trial was cancelled and he was released that he may be going to be a witness for the state. I don't have any idea where/how I came to that conclusion. So, it may be just that I had some weird dream about this case, who knows. But, it would make sense that he is sentenced or pleads out after Rebeca's case has concluded, if that is the route they are going with him. Thank you @Laughing for always keeping us posted on these cases. Much appreciated!From Casenet, Rebeca Ruud:

Bench trial, huh? Hmmm, does she think a judge will be kinder to her than a jury? Perhaps offer a parole-based 30--40 year sentence? There are a lot of very tuff but fair judges out there, and they have seen a lot of horror in the cases over which they preside. A judge will likely, IMO, really sock it to her. And should. There is no way out of this thing for her, IMO. And the sooner the better.
