Almost 5 years now and this killer has still not been brought to trial. That's par for the course in California. 5-7 years is not an uncommon delay. It's maddening. The justice system, if not the entire state, is broken.

Yes, it is unfortunate. He did have trial set back in October, but COVID interrupted that... and not yet set for a new trial date.

The court site has not been updated as of now - so not sure if this trial has started. I will check back in the morning & see if they have Monday's date on the next hearing.

And of course, only coming up with old articles on this case! :rolleyes:
