[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone in NoVA able to attend AP's preliminary hearing on 1/17 at 2pm? Open to the public.

[/quote]I’m attending.[/quote]

Just remember that family members and friends who are grieving will be there. This isn't a reality show. [/quote]

Well actually our criminal justice system is the ultimate reality show - free and open to the public nearly 100% of the time. Just mind your manners in the audience, please! ~ former prosecutor[/quote]

Good point.

Former prosecutor, when might the trial date for AP be set with a prelim on 1/17? [/quote]

I practiced out in the mountain west, so I cannot speak to the docket speed in NoVa post-covid, but I am sure it is slow. Before covid we would typically see cases stretch out from prelim to trial over 2-3 years. An initial trial date will be set much sooner of course with a nod to speedy trial, but typically defense will waive speedy and will stretch things out themselves as they make various pre-trial motions.[/quote]

2-3 years??[/quote]

Lawyer here and yep several years is completely normal. [/quote]
