Still nothing new - no new notes for future proceedings.

What is this - the 3rd one to withdraw?
I wish they'd quit dicking around. They'll probably extend it again so a new lawyer can get up to speed. How many times/how long is he going to get away with this bu11$h1t?
A precious little girl's justice is awaiting!!!
So frustrated.....

 

[PommyMommy]

What the heck?!

 

[Skillz]

I’m sure it’s him. MT is probably not taking councils advice and being difficult on purpose in order to extend the process out. Purely speculation here but I have seen this in other cases—especially ones involving children.

Aug. 7—An Española man accused of killing his 5-year-old stepdaughter in 2019 has rejected a plea agreement offered by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albuquerque.

Malcolm Torres, 28, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Renezmae Calzada, a Santa Clara Pueblo girl whose body was found in the Rio Grande several days after her mother reporter her missing in September 2019.

He is scheduled to stand trial on the charge in March. Online court records indicate a hearing was held last month to formalize for the court record Torres' rejection of a plea agreement he'd been offered by federal prosecutors.

Right. Because stalling is the only remedy for a case that is a done deal. I have often seen last minute Alford pleas or exchange of DP for LWOP.
