We are heartened to report that on Wednesday November 19 2008 El Cajon Superior Court Judge Louis R. Hanoian ruled there is sufficiant evidence to hold Shannon Shimp for trial and set a December 3 hearing to determine a date. Shimp is charged with two counts of murder and two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter and drunk driving causing injury.

Judge Hanoian's ruling of 'sufficiant evidence for trial' belies the rarity of such a ruling in murder cases like this. We appreciate El Cajon DA Monte Bennett for prosecuting this case so aggressively.

The next hearing will be in; Dept. 11, fourth floor at 1:25 pm Wednesday, Dec. 3 2008. All interested parties should feel free to attend as the court room is open to the public.

We're told the Court is 'aware and sensitive' to the presence of Ian's supporters as it is of Shannon's supporters. Please be respectfull of all parties present. Business casual dress is recommended. Thank you for your support.
