"pretrial conference". LOL.

It could be months or years before an actual trial takes place. We've seen this over and over again in California courts. Patience, Grasshopper!*

*semi-obscure reference to 70's TV show with David Carradine

But thanks, Niner, for keeping tabs!

@JoeFromLB - I see you commented on this case. Can you find anything on the trial - all I am getting are articles from 2021 & the court site still says nothing about trial continuing today.

TIA if you can find something! Hoping this trial has NOT been postponed for a 3rd time.... :rolleyes:
 
Well - there is nothing on the court site on next date. So I will stop posting the trial until someone helps me here! :)
I am just getting very old articles over here...

I wish I could help you. I cannot access the L.A. court site. I will keep trying.

Many of the serious murder trials get postponed over and over again. It's not unusual for many years to go by before they finally get it done. The court system is extremely overburdened, and we also have a 'progressive' D.A. who wants to release criminals right and left.

Sorry to be so negative, but it's reality here in Los Angeles County.

What court room? Is this the Clara Shortridge Foltz courthouse? Do you have a case number?
 
I have seen this before in other cases, where the site says only "trial continues" or "Jury Trial" for each day. Rest assured that if there's a verdict the media will jump in with a story. Until then, nothing. The L.A. Times, for example, is a tiny newspaper now, a shred of what it used to be. They won't cover this until there's an outcome.
It's a positive sign that an actual trial seems to be finally happening.

Jury selection begins on October 17 and the testimony will begin on October 24. Nothing until October 17. I don't predict there will be a plea deal in the meantime. It seemed like not much happened today except final preparations for an actual trial.

I'm curious what you all think about this case?
