Trial Postponed until July 20, 2009

An additional witness/schedule conflict now has the trial of Shannon Shimp (on two counts of second degree murder plus charges for injury to Ian's passenger, Tessa M.) starting July 20, 2009 at 9am in 'D-17' El Cajon Superior Court.

We have pretrial motions on July 17, 2009 same department and time.

At times the agony of postponement after postponement makes me want to scream(which I do upon occasion), but then I reflect on the witnesses, witnesses to this terrible crime and their willingness to testify; to relive the horrible. I very much appreciate them stepping up; it gives me hope; and I scream less.

As always you are invited to join us in court as respectfully silent spectators in support of Ian and the other dead and injured. Thank you for your support in Ian Christopher Kinney's memory. Scott Kinney, Father

Trial Postponed until June 22, 2009

For various reasons the Trial start date has been changed from May 11 to: June 22,2009. To a large extent the delay has to do with witness scheduling; coordinating appearances by witnesses who live out of state being the primary challenge.

The April 24,2009: '995' Motions hearing (before a second judge) to hear arguments by the defense to: dismiss judge Hanoian's ruling that 'two counts of second degree murder may go to trial' ended with (the second judge) ruling that 'the charges can & will go to trial and will not be dismissed'.

Thanks to all who continue to support our family in Ian's memory.
