@Seattle1 - now I just need the time of the hearing on 10/5. When you get a chance! :)
Hearing at 8:30 AM. ;)

Also, making a mental note that Gary Shover may have been resigned to Dept 44, and Owen Shover is still in Dept 53.

Don't know if this is an attempt to keep the defendants from each other inside the Judicial Court facility or what -- especially given the murder-1 charge against Gary dropped.

Thanks for all that info! :)

I hardly look at the Dept. #s - I guess I should.

9/17/22

A 21-year-old accused of killing a 16-year-old Moreno Valley girl and hiding her body with his older brother’s help must stand trial for first-degree murder and other charges, a judge ruled Friday.

Owen Skyler Shover and Gary Anthony Shover, 25 — both of Hesperia — were arrested in 2019 on suspicion of killing Aranda Briones.

Following a preliminary hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Bernard Schwartz ruled there was sufficient evidence to sustain the murder charge and a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait against Owen Shover.

However, the hearing resulted in the murder charge being dismissed against Gary Shover and substituted with a felony allegation of being an accessory after the fact.

Schwartz scheduled a post-preliminary hearing arraignment for the brothers on Oct. 5 at the Riverside courthouse.

He ordered that both defendants remain held without bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to sheriff’s officials, the brothers were identified as suspects in Briones’ disappearance and death following a weeks-long investigation that ended in February 2019, when the siblings were taken into custody without incident at their residence on Grevillea Street, near Old Ranch Road.

I need to enter the dept when searching the calendar for you -- CA Courts are just too large! :)
 
However, the hearing resulted in the murder charge being dismissed against Gary Shover and substituted with a felony allegation of being an accessory after the fact.

DEFINITION OF PC 32 ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT​

California Penal Code 32 PC contains the relevant language defining this crime:

  • “Any person who, after a felony was committed, harbors, conceals or aids a principal in such felony, with the intent they may avoid or escape from arrest, trial, conviction or punishment, having knowledge they had committed such felony or charged a felony or convicted thereof, is an accessory to such felony.”
In other words, if you aid a perpetrator of a felony by helping them avoid or escape authorities, then you can be held criminally liable as an accessory after the fact pursuant to Penal Code Section 32 PC.

@Niner -- as an FYI from the Court Calendar for Dept 53 on 10/5/22, there are 96 cases scheduled where all but 12 are noted for 8:30 AM and the other 12 are slated at 1:30 PM. The CA court system backlog is insane. :eek:

Defense is back to their old routine of last-minute requests for a continuance after the calendar is published so Gary's 12/9 hearing date is for his Info Arraignment, again.

Seems the same for Owen.

None of the sources I can access have any data on Gary since he's out of custody. If we find a hearing date in MSM, the only time I can access the published details from the court calendar & dept is the week of the scheduled hearing. ;)

Okay - I shall put Owen on 12/9 & will wait for next scheduling week. Thanks a bunch for getting the name. They keep continuing & continuing... :rolleyes:
 
@Seattle1 - are they both still scheduled on 12/9/22 for arraignment hearings?

TIA!

OK, the Shovers are both on the calendar for 12/9-- along with 65 other names. But we know from history that their hearings may or may not happen! ;)
