Thanks @Seattle1 - Wondering "what" they can't "settle"....

Bringing forward my post from last October. We should hear about the 1800 pages of evidence and 12 cd's of photos today. It looks like the hearings for both brothers are scheduled together.

Relative to another FSC hearing in August, it doesn't follow that we're back to what happens following an arraignment. Do they want to attempt to settle or talk plea deals again? They already had 18 months of FSC's without making an ounce of progress towards a guilty plea -- or handing over Aranda's remains.

To be clear, a Felony Settlement Conference, scheduled again for August 7, is similar to a Trial Readiness Conference (TRC) and consists of exchanging discovery (info about the case) and attempting to negotiate a final determination of the case. If the attorneys are unable to resolve the case then a Preliminary Hearing is set (which was scheduled for July 8).

^^sbm

It took not less than 8 Felony Settlement Conferences requested by the defense over 18 months -- all continued until finally a Preliminary Hearing was scheduled for May 2020. I was hoping we would finally begin to hear something in the Preliminary Hearing from the 1800 pieces pages of evidence and 12 CD's of photos cited last October, and now we seemed to be going back a readiness conference.

It makes no sense unless the defendants are truly going to give up the location of Aranda's remains under a plea agreement -- now that these nasty men have pretty much guaranteed themselves that AB's remains will be so badly decomposed to provide any meaningful evidence of the crimes committed against her.

MOO

Thanks for those other quotes. I'm following so many cases - I'm some mixed up! I truly HOPE they will tell "where" Aranda is....

Feeling heartsick for Aranda’s family. Hoping that justice can inch along a little more quickly for their sake.

I've seen it that early before.... even at 7am!

So much for the jokes about "California time."

This poor girl. How incredibly unfair.

What's it going to take for the Shover brothers to finally give up Aranda's body? We were teased with a preliminary hearing months ago only to have the rug pulled from beneath our feet, and here we are back at the felony settlement conferences. It's infuriating!

 

[JoeFromLB]

All these court "hearings" and "settlement conferences" are par for the course in California. It could take several years for this case to come to trial. That's not unusual. The court system is completely broken in this state.

Penal Code 1050 PC - motion to continue the criminal case requires good cause for the motion to be granted.

Why did the defense file motion only for Owen?

Is Gary ready to proceed?

Could the Preliminary Hearing really be held today?

 

[Niner]

Sounds like @Seattle1 - preliminary hearing for both. The jail site never gives "what" the hearing is about just the date & time. Hopefully it's FINALLY the preliminary hearing.
So this filing by Owen - it hasn't been "granted" yet - correct? Just filed.
TIA!

Yes, the description is what appeared on the Superior Court calendar for today, Nov 18. Unless I view the calendar on the actual hearing date, the information is not available to me.

I believe the motion is before the court for the Judge to grant or deny continuance for Owen.
