GUILTY TX - Kayla Gomez-Orozco, 10, Bullard, 1 Nov 2016 #2 *Arrest*

If Bingham blows this one...

Hey, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. He has a history. But, this is a big one, if he blows this one, all he's doing is ****ing himself! BTW, I have little respect for the man. Sad, how East Texas has so much corruption when it comes to law enforcement. From what I understand, it's quite deeply ingrained. So, who knows what you're gonna get in ET when it comes to ANYTHING. Sad but true.
 

"Judge Jack Skeen Jr. with the 241st District Court said Thursday he would set a potential trial date for February 2018, four months after the originally scheduled trial date of Oct. 2, 2017.The change comes after attorneys on both sides of the case filed a joint motion for continuance June 29.

In the motion, they cited the massive amount of information to be reviewed and forensic testing to be done as the reason for the request.
There are more than 3,600 pages of paper discovery and 203 gigabytes of electronic information that have been or will be provided to the defense in this case."

Here's an update from yesterday's hearing:

http://www.tylerpaper.com/TP-News+L...f-capital-murder-suspect-gustavo-zavalagarcia

Zavala-Garcia, 25, appeared in the 241st District Court on Wednesday for a pretrial hearing, during which Smith County District Attorney Matt Bingham updated Judge Jack Skeen about the status of DNA testing.
Bingham said based on conversations with a Texas Department of Public Safety employee, he expects to receive a final report on the trace analysis of the originally submitted items by early December.
[.....]
The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for Dec. 14., with four more hearings scheduled for early 2018, before jury selection is set to begin in February. The trial date is slated for March 19, 2018.
Skeen said he would keep the schedule as is until he has a full picture of what’s been tested and the final reports from the trace analysis and DNA testing. At that point the defense has the right to request their own testing.
Skeen said any change to the schedule likely would be made by Jan. 4 at the latest.
