Defense attorneys get paid by the hour, so they benefit from delays.

The prosecution attorneys are paid a salary and will do whatever it takes, no matter how long, in order to get a "guilty" verdict.

That's the point, when it's in their client's best interests. And when it's the prosecution, it's often to ensure a conviction, or due to the realities of staffing. They're not doing it because they feel like going to the beach instead of work next Wednesday.

The usual one-month delay before the transcript for the 9/21 hearing becomes available.

Did anything of significance come out of this latest hearing?

When is the next hearing scheduled?

> Is anyone going? Is anyone still following this story?

Not going, but definitely still interested.

I wonder if we should have a single (sticky?) thread to track all court proceedings involving cycling crashes. That would perhaps give similar/better exposure to all active proceedings. I'm thinking, in particular, of the Hector Avalos case:

http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/hector-avalos-courtroom-up...

I don't remember where I heard of this case, but it certainly seems to have fallen off the radar screen. I haven't been following it like the Bobby Cann case. The last update on that thread was about a year ago.
