This morning the last of the pretrial hearings ended with a judgment allowing a video prepared by the DA's office to be entered into evidence. The video is from a drivers perspective traveling to the collision site on Hwy 78 from both East and West directions.
This was the last huddle before the trial; which will begin Tuesday, September 8, 2009 in department-17 at 9am. We understand that the trial could take up to two weeks. The first day or two will be spent seating a jury. No court Wednesday, September 16.
Please feel free to attend any day of the trial to support the DA's prosecution of Shannon Shimp.
Thank you for your support in Ian's memory. Ian's family

Trial Postponed until September 08, 2009
This morning (July 21, 2009)in Department 17 of El Cajon Superior court, a new trial date was set for Tuesday, September 8, 2009 in Dept. 17 at 9am.
The July trial date was scrubbed because the George F. Bailey detention center, where Shannon Shimp is being detained, had imposed a "Swine flu" general quarantine and Shimp was not allowed to attend the trial.
A pretrial motions hearing is scheduled for August 7, 2009 in Dept.17 at 9am.
Tomorrow, July 22, will mark one year from the day when Tessa Maderis was critically injured and both Ian Kinney and Joseph Edwards were killed by Shannon Shimp.
We, remain committed to staying the course, no matter how distant no matter how far, to verdict and sentence. Ian's Family
Thanks to all that care in Ian's memory

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.
