WHAT IS UP WITH THESE COURT DATES???

[~Souza~]

I just have to ask...


Have you ever noticed that these court dates are on holidays?

Easter: [April 5th]-- also known as Resurrection Day
Flag Day: [June 14th]-- a day to celebrate a historical event.
"... in what will go down in history, as the greatest demostration in the freedom of our nation..." MLK (Thaey Don't Care About Us)


these dates seems pretty accurate to me, but is the third times the charm???
what's the next major holiday coming up that resembles with those???

Easter was on April 4, not April 5

It was here...

Inn my state, if a hearing is scheduled and it falls on a holiday, guess what, you'd better be there.

  I don't want people from overseas to get confused by our discussion, because I think it is a real concern with holidays, dates and times being different to them. If they are investigating inconsistencies etc, it would be hard for them not knowing the US version of the days they are looking at. I am saying this so you will understand why I continue to reply to this thread.
 I know for my own efforts, I wish I could know more about their countries because Michael spent so much time there and loved the culture that any of our investigation may be fruitless. Answers may lie anywhere in the world.

 I agree with you if  they scheduled you on a holiday, you have to be there. I was just saying they don't have the option to schedule on those days because the courts aren't open then (in most all states). The Federal government allows all states the option to close on a set number of days. This means they are excused with pay and barring a crammed schedule I see no reason for a state not to take these holidays and enjoy the time off:

For those of you following the thread for sake of learning this dates and holidays:
Definition of Legal Holidays:
The diversity of our country is reflected in the various holidays recognized by the individual states. While many holidays, including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, are considered legal holidays in all states, others, such as Good Friday and Robert E. Lee's Birthday, are recognized in only a handful, while a few are particular to only one state, for example Alaska Day and Pioneer Day.

The recognition of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday has sparked a great deal of controversy. It is not recognized in every state, and in some of the states where it is recognized, it is not a paid holiday for state employees. And in a few states, though it is an official day of recognition, it is not a legal holiday. The most interesting variation on the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is in Louisiana, where it is one of six other days that are interchangeably recognized. Each year the governor is authorized to declare any two of these days as an official state holiday, except that every two years Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday must be one of the two days selected.

Not true.  The courts are open for scheduled hearings on holidays.  I don't know about Sundays, but holidays that fall on week days the courts still operate.  But as I mentioned earlier,a source informs me that Murray's case will not be heard on the scheduled date.  Don't even put it on your calendars.  It is not going to happen.   8-) I told you that the last hearing date would be continued for the prosecution to read all the discovery info.  This time I wasn't given a reason,  just that it won't take place.  If I get an update, I'll let you know.

Judging on the thread I see posted this morning, I guess my source was point on.
