@Jewels53 - when you have time - is there another court date yet for Cheatham & Head? Did a trial date get set?

TIA!

It’s been like five years! THIS delay is bananas and should be criminal in and of itself!

If this were California, a five-year delay would be nothing unusual, but Missouri?
Justice is not swift anywhere anymore, it seems.

@Jewels53 - might be a bit early to ask - but I will anyway! Any updates yet on either one?

TIA!

Nothing new today and yes I think it is a little early to check. Maybe in a couple more days.
