Civil Trial Date - SET!

I went to the district clerk's office last Monday to see what progress was going on with the civil trial since the last hearing in December where Matt's attorney finagled a few more months in continuances. (MUCH to the Judge's great irritation!) The Judge was adamant that Matt's attorney's work with the Dulin's attorneys POST HASTE on scheduling this court date. After almost 3 months of Matt's attorney not responding on agreeable court dates, the Judge just set it himself.

I called the 19th District Court office and spoke with Joy. She told me that the civil trial was set to begin on September 29th. She also indicated that this case had a "PRIORITY RATING." When I asked her what that meant she said that this case was taking priority over other ones and the date was set in stone....not to be wiggled out of once again by one of Matt's long line of court-avoiding lawyers.

So at least one form of justice will commence this September. I wonder if the criminal justice will come even before September? It's possible.

Civil Suit

Well, it's all over the news like it's some shocking story. But if you think about it, it's basic "MyDaughterWasMurdered 101" + Simple Math = 2 year deadline coming up.

You have two years from the time of death to file a wrongful death suit. It will be 2 years April 8. The DA's office is moving along, too. It looks like someone may get it from both ends. Justice is not blind. Thank God. Everyone get ready.
You can see the news blips here:

KCEN-TV (Channel 6) - Family of Central Texas teacher re-files wrongful death suit
KXXV (Channel 25) - More drama for ex-pastor accused of Killing Wife
KWTX (Channel 10) - New lawsuit filed against Matt Baker

Now, let's see how easily Matt's side answers for their actions coming up tomorrow. Desperation is an ugly thing to watch.
