@Niner I've been looking at his records; he has another case that's following this one. Either I didn't know about it or I forgot. IN DOC records show his time served there off and on dates back to 2003. His earliest possible release date for his DOC cases was 08/20/2018.

Here's the other case; prior to this one, he left the scene of an accident. He had some issues with hiring attorneys.

35-47-4-5(c)/F4: Unlawful Poss. of a Firearm by Serious Violent Felon

Do you want me to follow this one - or can we just do Emma's case. Probably has way too many possession charges! LOL!

No, I just posted it because it may help explain why this case is taking so long with (apparently) not much happening. I'll probably check on it when I check on this case.

I noticed this:

August 10, 2023

So I am gathering he has a hearing on 8/10/23... yes?
 
Omnibus Hearings:
The Court will set an Omnibus Hearing before the trial date. The Omnibus Hearing typically does not require the presence of the Defendant. The Omnibus Hearing is essentially a date by which certain pleadings and motions must be filed by the Defendant instead of a date that you must appear in court.
