GUILTY IL - Skylar Mendez, 4, killed by mom‘s boyfriend for spilling juice on Xbox, Waukegan, 13 Dec 2018

[Niner]

I just checked the docket. It says no upcoming hearing dates scheduled so the trial is off calendar. I’ll check again in the coming days to see if it updates.

Must have received a continuance of trial due to COVID - I would assume. And again! Thanks for checking it out.

Nice! We only get rain but wish we got snow. It would give me a good excuse to stay at home playing hooky

Just checked the docket. The next hearing is a status one and is set for 3/11/21 at 9:00 am. Looks like defendant’s presence was waived the last two times so he’s not being transported to these hearings.
