11/14/19 Update: Palomino's counsel, Ron Smith, notified the court Tuesday he has to withdraw from the case due to a conflict of interest. Smith said he couldn't disclose the conflict. The judge now has to decide whether or not to take Smith's withdrawal from the case. Nick Heatherly is Smith's co-counsel, but if Smith is withdrawn from the case, a new second attorney will almost certainly be appointed for Palomino since it is a death penalty case. That could also delay the setting of a trial date. Palomino is currently slated to go on trial in December for trafficking methamphetamines.
