In a recent court session, discussions centered around several ongoing cases, with a particular focus on discovery timelines and trial dates. The judge addressed the state regarding an outstanding offer in a case set for January 6, noting that no offer had yet been received. The state confirmed that an offer would be due on that date.

The court also revisited a 2002 case involving Jose Mejia, where the attorney reported progress in transferring evidence, including VHS and cassette tapes, to digital formats. The judge expressed concern over the lengthy timeline of the case, which had its first court date scheduled for July 2024, and emphasized the importance of thorough discovery documentation.

A series of trial dates were established, including a jury trial set for January 14 for Ray Dela Rosa, who is facing multiple charges, including DWI and family violence. The judge instructed the parties to return for a discovery hearing on December 19, ensuring that all necessary materials would be available ahead of the trial.

The session concluded with light-hearted remarks from the judge, who engaged in a brief conversation about personal aspirations, highlighting the human element within the legal proceedings. The court will reconvene in December to address outstanding motions and finalize discovery details.
