If I'm reading this correctly, it was rescheduled to 9/17/2020. I was able to download the "Case Summary" to PDF and it is 9 pages. It would not upload because it was too big. I was able to split it into a few different PDFs and it let me upload them.

Thanks a bunch @PayrollNerd !

 

[PayrollNerd]

No way this jerk deserves to be released on bail!!! Seriously, his family KNOWS he murdered this woman and they're using the babysitting of his Gkids as a justifiable reason to release him? Are they nuts???

If they need someone to flip the switch when they fry his arse, I will be happy to volunteer.

Thanks Niner! I can hardly wait to see this @sshle head to his final retirement home. To think a “coach” would rape & kill a kid’s mom. No words.

You and me both. I’d like to give him a piece of my mind for bringing such shame to my ancestor’s (maternal grandfather side) name.

Gotta be a wild addition to the family tree story for sure! If it’s any consolation, every family has a few bad seeds/eggs along the line. Seems as though you got all the good DNA!

Hey @PayrollNerd - only when you have time - is there a next court hearing yet?

TIA!
