I was trying to download the document about DNA out of curiosity but it isn't available. Maybe because it's the weekend. I'll try next week.

I was able to open the DNA document and quickly scanned it. It appeared to be them whining about how evidence and Miranda Rights weren’t done properly. I can download it later and post it. I need to get out in the yard this morning before it’s 90 degrees.

 

[PayrollNerd]

@Niner I don't see your post that had this thread updated for today's hearing. Perhaps they're still working on getting everything moved over. Here is what I see tonight online and there isn't anything prior to 2022 on the schedule yet. The corresponding document on the docket isn't available yet. Maybe once it is viewable it will explain this cryptic note in more detail.

@PayrollNerd - too early to ask for an updated court hearing date? Next one I have is depositions on 11/18/21.

TIA!

 

[PayrollNerd]

Nothing new on the hearing tab and the docket tab hasn’t been updated either. Maybe later this week…

I don't see anything updated regarding the depositions done on 10/13, 10/14 or 10/19. The next set of depositions is 12/14/21.

Thanks for checking it out @PayrollNerd ! I'll be back in a week - to see if there might be a hearing before the 12/14 depos.
