Title: Kealoha trial date pushed back by 6 months!
Post by: RSN172 on November 27, 2017, 05:50:23 PM
US District Chief Judge Michael Seabright delayed the start of the trial from December 19 to June 18.  He also said he is open to delaying it further if requested.  The Kealohas may never to to trial if that keeps up.

On another note, whatever happened to the Deedy case?

Does delaying this case help the defendant or the prosecutor?

It usually helps the defendant because witnesses have a greater chance they can't testify or forget stuff.

The judge is right in delaying the trial.  It is a huge case to form a defense.  Look at how long it took to create the case and the costs involved.

Secret Service must have a very good PR department, because this wasn't on national news much if any at all.  It would make good fake news headlines "Secret Service agent kills man", how often does this happen?
