Murder trial — final Commonwealth rebuttal witness under examination
Lindsay Clancy
Proceeding began
Plymouth County Superior Court, Plymouth, MA
Status On trial. The prosecution rested August 17, the defense rested August 21, and the Commonwealth’s final rebuttal witness remained under examination August 26. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy. The defense contests criminal responsibility. She remains presumed innocent.
FBI psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff continued testimony Wednesday and was expected to face cross-examination before the evidence closed. Reporting moved expected closing arguments from Wednesday to Thursday, August 27. No jury deliberation had begun at the verification cutoff.
Next development Finish the final rebuttal witness. Closing arguments and the final jury charge are expected August 27, but the setting remains tentative and no clock time has been publicly verified.
Status The evidentiary trial is underway. Fernandez Saldana is charged with first-degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony in Jared Bridegan’s death. He has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty.
The defense rested at 9:26 a.m. on August 25 after Fernandez Saldana told the court he would not testify. Closing arguments then began. No verdict had been returned at the verification cutoff. Shanna Gardner’s separate proceeding remains separately calendared.
Next development Complete closing arguments, jury instructions and deliberations. No verdict date is published or predictable.

Durk Devontay Banks, known as Lil Durk — federal criminal trial
Proceeding began
United States District Court, Central District of California, Los Angeles, CA
Case No. 2:24-cr-00621-MWF
Status A sixteen-person panel, including four alternates, was seated August 21, and opening statements were delivered August 24. Banks and two co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to federal charges arising from an alleged murder-for-hire plot. The charges are allegations, and each defendant is presumed innocent.

Status A jury convicted Cataneo Salazar of first-degree murder on August 24 and found all charged special-circumstance allegations true. Because he also pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, the same jury must now decide his legal sanity at the time of the killing.
The guilt phase is complete. The sanity phase begins August 26 in Department 101. A sanity finding will determine whether the judgment leads to state prison or confinement in a state hospital; no sentencing date has been set.

Associated Press and same-day Boston courtroom reporting said testimony was expected to finish Wednesday, with closing arguments likely Thursday, August 27. That expectation is not a court order, no start time has been publicly verified, and the jury has not begun deliberating.

Case No. 26CJCF02399
Status Held to answer, and still presumed innocent. He pleaded not guilty on April 20, 2026 to one count each of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. On July 27, 2026, at the close of the preliminary hearing, Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo held him to answer on all charges and upheld all three special-circumstance allegations — lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. He is held without bail. Being held to answer is not a conviction and decides no one’s guilt; it means only that a judge found enough evidence for the case to proceed. He is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty in court.
Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo held Burke to answer on all counts and sustained all three special-circumstance allegations after the July 21–27 preliminary hearing. The August 31 proceeding is the arraignment on the information, not another preliminary hearing. No trial date has been set.

122nd District Court, Galveston County, Galveston, TX
Status Elmore pleaded not guilty on August 21 to manslaughter in Laura Miller’s death. Prosecutors also have separate felony evidence-tampering charges connected to Miller and Audrey Cook. Every charge is an allegation, and Elmore is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty in court.
Judge Jeth Jones said the August 31 preferential No. 1 setting remains firm absent an emergency. Current reporting says the State intends to try the manslaughter charge first, with a large prospective-juror pool because of the case’s publicity. A 1:00 p.m. Central start appears in a hearing recording and one report but has not been confirmed with the District Clerk, so this calendar does not publish that time.

Case No. 2:26-cv-00301
Status A civil lawsuit, not a criminal case. The family of Kaylee Goncalves is suing Washington State University. Bryan Kohberger is not a defendant in this case. Nothing has been decided: a scheduled trial date is not a finding of liability, and no court has found the university responsible for anything.
We list this because it is the only proceeding connected to the University of Idaho murders that currently has a court-ordered date. The court entered a scheduling order on June 1, 2026 setting a 20-day jury trial to begin September 13, 2027 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 16106; the case was reassigned to Judge Brian A. Tsuchida on the parties’ consent on June 12, 2026. Civil trial dates set more than a year out move often.

Post-conviction relief petition — pending
Bryan Kohberger
District Court, Fourth Judicial District, Ada County, Boise, ID
Case No. CR01-24-31665
Convicted by his own guilty plea and sentenced. On July 2, 2025 he pleaded guilty to one count of burglary and four counts of first-degree murder in the November 13, 2022 deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. On July 23, 2025 Judge Steven Hippler imposed four consecutive fixed life terms without the possibility of parole, plus a consecutive 10-year term on the burglary count. The plea agreement contained a waiver of his right to appeal.
Expected development: No hearing date has been set on the post-conviction relief petition.
The criminal case has been closed since sentencing and the official Idaho court file shows no future hearing set. On July 27, 2026, Kohberger filed a pro se petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court; the court has appointed counsel and has not ruled on it, and no hearing date has been set. Reporting describing a motion to withdraw the guilty plea is inaccurate — the filing is a post-conviction relief petition. Separately, a federal civil suit brought by the Goncalves family against Washington State University does have a trial date; it is listed above, and Kohberger is not a defendant in it.

Appeal against three murder convictions, heard together with the Crown appeal against sentence — decision reserved
Erin Patterson
Court of Appeal, Supreme Court of Victoria, Court 1, 210 William Street, Melbourne, Australia
S EAPCR 2025 0218 and S EAPCR 2025 0226
Convicted and serving life with a 33-year non-parole period. The two-day appeal hearing concluded on August 20, 2026 and the Court of Appeal reserved its decision on both appeals. Nothing has been decided, and the convictions and sentence stand unless and until the court rules.
Expected development: A reserved judgment in both appeals. No decision date has been listed, and the court has given no timeline.
The hearing ran August 19–20 before Justices McLeish, Taylor and Kidd. Day one covered Patterson’s seven conviction grounds; day two was the Director of Public Prosecutions arguing the sentence was manifestly inadequate and seeking life without parole. The court reserved judgment in both appeals and gave no indication of when it will rule. Reporting suggests a decision could take weeks or months. Ground one is that sequestering the jury in the same hotel as police, prosecutors and media during deliberations was a fundamental irregularity. Widely shared posts describe that ground as a ruling that forced her to testify. That is not what the ground says, and no source supports it. DPP Brendan Kissane KC told the court there is no substance behind it.

Expected development: A venue order naming the county. No date has been announced for it.
The August 14 pretrial hearing is complete. Judge Debra R. McCaslin granted a change of venue, allowed relevant portions of Murdaugh’s prior testimony subject to evidentiary limits, and allowed limited additional DNA testing, but did not name a replacement county and did not decide guilt. The defense and the State have since proposed different counties and no venue order has issued. A defense request to dismiss the indictments has not been heard. Murdaugh’s scheduled pretrial hearing and tentative retrial date are listed in the dated sections above.

A defense motion to move the trial out of Miami County over pretrial publicity and a prosecution motion to sequester the jury were filed August 17, 2026. Neither has been ruled on. Flynn has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty in court.
Expected development: Rulings are expected at or after the August 25, 2026 motions hearing.
Judge Jeannine Pratt is set to hear both motions at the August 25 final pretrial, which is listed in the dated sections above. Either ruling could affect the September 17 trial date.

Final-stage Supreme Court appeal by the convicted man against a 26-year sentence
Death of Orawan Wongsricha
Supreme Court of Thailand (Dika), on appeal from Court of Appeal Region 4, Thailand
Convicted and not final. Chaiphol Wipha remains in custody after the Supreme Court refused temporary release pending his appeal.
Expected development: No Supreme Court hearing or judgment-reading date has been published. The most recent confirmed activity is August 2025, and we found no 2026 development in Thai or English reporting.
Orawan Wongsricha, 3, known as Nong Chompoo, disappeared from Kok Kork village in Dong Luang district, Mukdahan in May 2020 and was found dead days later on Phu Lek Fai mountain. In December 2023 the Mukdahan Provincial Court convicted Chaiphol Wipha of recklessness causing death and child abduction and sentenced him to 20 years; his wife Somporn Lappho was acquitted. On August 13, 2025 the Court of Appeal Region 4 upgraded the convictions to premeditated murder, child abduction, child abandonment causing death and interfering with a corpse, and raised the sentence to 26 years, upholding Somporn’s acquittal for reasonable doubt. The court cited the severity of the offence, the length of the term, social impact and flight risk in denying bail.

Charges have been laid in the death of Robbie Thomson only. No charges have been laid in the deaths of Robert Lambert or Lawrence Bertrim.
Next development to verify: No court date has been published for any of the four accused.
The property is a 16-hectare parcel on Kelly Jordan Road in Montague Township, Lanark County, Ontario, northeast of Smiths Falls. This is a Canadian matter and does not belong on a US calendar. Robbie Thomson, 34, missing since October 2023, was found October 30, 2025. Robert Lambert, 75, who bought the property in 2004 and was reported missing November 30, 2018, was found July 20, 2026. Lawrence Bertrim of Smiths Falls, 42 when he vanished on September 30, 2022, was found August 6, 2026 with cause of death undetermined. Charged in Thomson’s death: Christopher Fenton, 48, Erin Mackie, 40, and Joshua Belfiori, 34, with first-degree murder, and Mark Fenton, 42, with accessory after the fact, charged April 2026. The Ontario Provincial Police Criminal Investigation Branch is directing the investigation with Smiths Falls Police Service, the Office of the Chief Coroner and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service.

Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and Jackson County District Attorney, Jackson County, MS
Open death investigation. No cause or manner of death has been publicly released and no one has been charged. Wells, 18, was found in the water off Horn Island on July 6, 2026, after a Fourth of July boat trip.
Next development to verify: The District Attorney has said the case will be presented to a grand jury. No grand-jury date has been announced.
The Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is ongoing, and the sheriff told Wells’s mother shortly after the recovery that he believed the death was accidental. An independent autopsy commissioned by the family returned an undetermined cause and manner of death pending further investigation. The state autopsy is being withheld until the District Attorney presents the case to a grand jury. The NAACP joined the family’s legal team on August 17. We do not repeat unverified claims about the district attorney’s conduct.

Hooper, 18, has not been seen since setting out on a solo hike in Nattai National Park, New South Wales on August 12, 2026. Her vehicle was found at the walking-track trailhead. By August 19 close to 100 Australian Defence Force personnel from the 5th Brigade at Holsworthy had joined roughly 200 police, rescue and VRA Rescue NSW searchers working with trail bikes, horses, dogs and helicopters. Police say there is no trace of Hooper or her belongings, and investigators have examined her phone data. We list this only so readers know it is being followed and that no legal matter exists; it is a search, not a case.

Eugene Albert Horsch — federal firearm and false-credential case
United States District Court, Philadelphia, PA
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Horsch is charged only with federal offenses: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, including a firearm with an obliterated serial number, and possession of an unlawfully produced identification document or authentication feature involving counterfeit FBI and DEA credentials. He was indicted July 9, 2026. He has not been charged with any homicide. He is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty.
Expected next step: Reported federal trial dates conflict — NBC10 Philadelphia reported September 8, 2026 and The Independent later reported September 28, 2026 — so no date is published here until the docket setting can be confirmed.
Philadelphia prosecutors withdrew all five state charges at an August 6, 2026 preliminary hearing, leaving only the two-count federal indictment. Investigators have searched and excavated the Olney property in connection with at least two missing women, but no homicide charge has been filed against anyone and no remains have been publicly identified. This calendar lists only the charges actually on file.

Douglas, Cobb and Paulding counties, Georgia. No court has been publicly confirmed.
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Indicted and held in the Cobb County Jail without bond with a Douglas County hold. No court date appears on any public calendar, so nothing is listed here as scheduled.
Expected next step: No hearing or trial date has been published in any county. The Cobb County case is reported to be moving fastest.
Hart was arrested on August 9, 2025 on three counts of rape, with a fourth rape charge added on August 29, 2025. Posts circulating an August 2026 arrest date are wrong by a year. Douglas County indicted him in October 2025 on 18 charges involving seven women, including rape, kidnapping and holding a victim against her will. Cobb County indicted him over a 2006 sexual assault identified through a DNA match after 19 years. Douglas County District Attorney Dalia Racine announced the DNA linkage; Paulding County District Attorney Robert Lane is investigating a 2012 assault and says potential victims may number around 25. Coverage of this case uses a survivor-coined nickname that we do not repeat, because a nickname is not a charge and it is not how a court identifies a defendant. He is charged, not convicted.

Detained in Dubai since June 22, 2026, in connection with the death of William “Billy” Treeby. No charge has been confirmed by UAE authorities or any court, and no court date exists on the public record.
The only official confirmation of any kind is from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, which says it is in contact with a British woman detained in the UAE and is supporting her family.

Yolo County Superior Court, Department 14, Woodland, CA
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Committed to a state hospital. On August 19, 2026 Judge Samuel T. McAdam ordered Dominguez placed in a state hospital for a minimum of 180 days, with no eligibility for outpatient treatment during that period. A jury had convicted him of two counts of involuntary manslaughter and acquitted him of second-degree murder and attempted murder, and on July 22 the court found him legally insane at the time of the attacks.
Expected next step: A hearing on the district attorney’s petition to extend the commitment. No date has been published.
The August 19 hearing was a placement review that determined which state facility will house him; state officials will then begin a fuller evaluation of his condition. Family members of those killed delivered victim impact statements before the order was made. His maximum term is six years and four months, already served in Yolo County custody, so the Yolo County District Attorney has petitioned to extend the commitment by up to two years. He would be entitled to a jury trial on any extension. This was never a murder retrial.

Charged, no plea entered. The remains are believed to be Bishop’s but have not been formally identified, and an autopsy is still to be conducted.
Expected next step: ABC News reports a next court date of September 7. Neither the court nor Queensland Police has published that date, so we are not listing it as a sitting.
Remains were found in a shallow grave beneath a cubby house on Old Trafford Road, Bethania. Queensland Police name no victim and say only that detectives allegedly located human remains. The Queensland Police release identifies the accused as a 52-year-old Bethania man and a 45-year-old Windaroo woman; ABC News names them as Courtenay Williams, 52, and Carlie Rochelle Mordue, 45. Both appeared on August 18, 2026 and the matters were adjourned. Court documents allege that on or about March 2, 2022 the pair improperly interfered with a dead human body. Bishop was reported missing from Beenleigh in March 2022.

The 1985 Mansfield newborn case — known for four decades as Baby Boy Doe, or the Mansfield Baby Boy Doe case — was reopened using forensic genetic genealogy. Two outlets that reviewed the court file, The Boston Globe and the Fall River Reporter, both report an August 31 pretrial conference. One broadcast report instead said she was due back in December.

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Adelson, 76, was convicted in the 2014 murder-for-hire killing of her former son-in-law, Florida State University law professor Dan Markel, and is serving a life sentence. Her direct appeal is pending. A motion for a new trial was denied in September 2025.
Expected next step: Trending coverage referring to an unnamed matriarch whose appeal was delayed by a medical emergency refers to this case.
What is pending is an appellate briefing deadline rather than a hearing. Her initial brief was due August 14, 2026, and her lawyers have sought additional time citing an August 2026 arm abscess with suspected MRSA that required hospitalization; an earlier agreed extension had been denied for non-compliance.

Bail is set at $2 million. He is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty.
Expected next step: A continued arraignment. No date has been publicly verified.
The Ventura County District Attorney announced the charge after new DNA testing of a sexual-assault kit. No sex-offense count was filed because the statute of limitations had run; the single kidnapping count carries a maximum of 12 years to life. Arraignment was set for August 14, 2026. Brambles appeared that day and the arraignment was continued. One outlet has since reported a continued arraignment date in September attributed to county officials.

Ian Diaz post-conviction motion: No. 8:26-cv-00442 (C.D. Cal.)
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Michelle Hadley was never convicted of anything. She was arrested in Orange County, California in 2016 after online posts and threats were falsely attributed to her, and she spent time in custody before being released on her own recognizance in October 2016. The Orange County District Attorney concluded she had been framed, and the charges against her were dismissed in January 2017. She appears on this calendar as a cleared person, not as a defendant.
The people who framed her were prosecuted. Angela Diaz pleaded guilty in Orange County Superior Court and was sentenced on October 18, 2017 to five years in state prison. Ian Diaz, a former deputy U.S. marshal, was convicted by a federal jury on March 23, 2023 of conspiracy to commit cyberstalking, cyberstalking, perjury and obstruction, and was sentenced on June 30, 2023 to 121 months in prison. A motion by Ian Diaz to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 was filed on February 23, 2026 and is still pending before Judge Josephine L. Staton; the docket shows activity through July 2026, but the filings themselves are not publicly readable and no hearing date appears on the public record.

Utah juvenile — Eli Painter and Jessica Lyman case

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Local reporting says prosecutors formally charged a 16-year-old in juvenile court in the deaths of Eli Painter, 8, and Jessica Lyman, 44. The charging documents are allegations, the juvenile is not named or pictured here, and the juvenile remains presumed innocent unless and until the case is proved in court.
Expected next step: The first publicly verified juvenile-court setting and any formally filed request to transfer the case to adult court.

Karmelo Anthony
Collin County Courthouse, McKinney, TX
Cause No. 296-83565-2025
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Anthony’s June 9 murder conviction and 35-year sentence remain in force. Retired Judge Michael Chitty denied the motion for new trial on August 22 after a two-day evidentiary hearing. Anthony’s attorneys have said they plan to pursue the direct appeal filed June 10.
Expected next step: A direct appeal remains pending. No appellate argument date has been publicly verified.
The defense argued that courtroom restrictions, an asserted unwritten evidentiary agreement, and jury-instruction error deprived Anthony of a fair trial. Prosecutors disputed those claims. Judge Chitty denied post-trial relief; the ruling does not end Anthony’s separate appellate process.
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Carson Peters-Berger pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide in Lily Peters’s death. Judge Steven Gibbs accepted the plea, entered the conviction and imposed a life sentence. The court set eligibility to petition for release to extended supervision after 25 years.
Expected next step: Any verified postconviction motion or appeal. No future hearing date has been publicly verified.
The guilty plea replaced the planned November trial. Wisconsin law does not provide ordinary parole for a life sentence imposed for a post-1999 offense; the 25-year point permits a petition to the sentencing court for release to extended supervision and does not promise release. The outcome reporting reviewed for this update does not establish the formal disposition of the two previously charged sexual-assault counts, so this calendar does not infer that disposition.

Chief Judge Nicholas Primm imposed the maximum parole consequence after a three-day sentencing hearing. No upcoming court date was identified in the reporting reviewed on August 8, 2026.
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Pleaded guilty on August 10, 2026, to manslaughter with a deadly weapon in the April 3, 2022 stabbing death of Christian Obumseli. Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson sentenced her to six years in prison followed by five years of probation, with credit for time served since her August 10, 2022 arrest.
The plea resolved the second-degree murder prosecution without a trial. The sentence includes credit for time already served, but the calendar does not state an exact release date because release calculations can depend on corrections records and applicable credits.

Marín Mendoza faked a full-term pregnancy after miscarriages and took a newborn on June 17, 2009 from the hospital where she worked in administration. She was arrested at a nearby hotel hours later and the baby was returned to her mother, Mayra Navarro. The judge rejected her claim that the birth mother had consented, noting Navarro’s prenatal care was at a different clinic. Her husband Arturo spent roughly two years in custody and was acquitted. We list this because the Netflix documentary A Child of My Own, released August 13, 2026, has driven renewed interest, and readers should know there is no live proceeding.

A jury convicted Killins on all six counts on August 13, 2026: armed kidnapping, sexual battery with a deadly weapon, robbery with a firearm, attempted first-degree murder, robbery, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was sentenced the same day to four life terms plus 15 years each on two counts.
The jury returned its verdict after roughly 20 minutes of deliberation, and the court proceeded directly to sentencing, so no separate sentencing date follows. Killins was removed from the courtroom after an outburst. The surviving victims include a sexual-assault victim, and this calendar does not republish evidentiary detail from the case.

The recusal motion was granted. Senior Judge Sid L. Harle removed trial judge John Roach Jr. from the post-trial proceedings after the August 19 hearing in McKinney. Anthony was convicted of murder by a jury on June 9, 2026, in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet, and sentenced to 35 years. A notice of appeal was filed June 10, 2026. Cause No. 296-83565-2025.
Expected next step: The motion for new trial remains set for August 20, 2026, and is listed separately.
Judge Harle heard the verified motion to recuse and removed Judge Roach from further post-trial matters. A successor judge had not been publicly named at the verification cutoff, so this calendar does not list one. The recusal is a procedural ruling about who hears the remaining motions; it does not disturb the conviction or the 35-year sentence.
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Sentenced July 22, 2026, to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of Lindsay Geary. A jury convicted him June 22, 2026, on four counts — aggravated first-degree murder, first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, and violation of a court order, each with a domestic-violence aggravator.
Judge Cindy Larsen imposed the life term on the aggravated first-degree murder count, with a concurrent 34 months on the burglary count. The first-degree murder and court-order counts were vacated on double-jeopardy grounds. No notice of appeal had been filed as of July 25, 2026. The 30-day window from the July 22 sentencing has now run; whether a notice of appeal was filed inside it has not been publicly verified.
Los Angeles County Superior Court, Probate Division, Los Angeles, CA
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
The August 17 probate hearing concluded without a final merits ruling categorically denying Reiner access to the trust. The dispute was sent toward mediation and further proceedings. This civil matter is separate from the criminal case and does not decide guilt.
Expected next step: A further trust proceeding is reported for October 23, 2026; the date has not been confirmed against a filing.
Public reporting says the trust dispute remains unresolved and that the court continued it to October 23, 2026, with mediation to follow at least two weeks later. That date comes from court reporting rather than a filing this calendar has reviewed, so no future probate event has been added to the scheduled list. Reported figures for the amount sought are not published here.
24th Judicial District Court, Jefferson Parish, LA
Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.
Keller pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the shooting death of Taj Laurent Sr., 51, and was sentenced to 35 years on August 17, 2026.
The Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s office says Keller admitted shooting his girlfriend’s father during a Christmas-night argument, and that the plea was entered as jury selection was beginning. The case is resolved and no further court date is expected.

Lindsay Clancy
Murder trial — final Commonwealth rebuttal witness under examination
Updated: August 26, 2026. All dates are subject to change by the court. Corrections: cassiancreed@cassiancreed.com.
This calendar tracks cases worldwide in one view. Cases that have finished and aged out of this page are kept in full in the archive.
How We Verify Court Dates
A wrong date is not a small mistake. It sends a victim's family to an empty courtroom, and it puts a scheduled proceeding in a defendant's name that may not exist. So we hold every line on this page to the same rule.
Cassian Creed maintains this Neural Edge Publishing calendar as a verification index, not a source of record: every published date must trace to a court, prosecutor, state agency, or identified courtroom report. When a date cannot be tied to a public source, Neural Edge Publishing leaves it unconfirmed rather than turning an expectation into a scheduled proceeding.
The source is never us. Each date traces to a court filing, a prosecutor's office, a state agency record, or a reporter who was in the room. We do not cite our own articles as the source for a date.
We name the source type. A district attorney's announcement and a news report are not the same thing, so we label which one you are looking at.
No sourced date, no dated entry. If a case is active but nothing is scheduled or credibly expected on a specific date, it goes in Dates Not Yet Confirmed. A sourced expectation may appear as Tentative, but it is never presented as confirmed.
We review the calendar daily. We re-check every entry before publishing the page's Updated date. Each entry also carries its own verification date, and we do not move that date forward unless we actually re-checked the entry against a source that day.
Nothing is quietly deleted. When a matter is finished and has been closed long enough to leave Recently Completed, it moves to the archive with its text and sources intact, so a page that once carried a claim still shows it.
Each proceeding appears once. A hearing is written out in one entry, indexed once in the case-by-case table, and referenced from the FAQ by link. We do not restate the same proceeding in several places, because copies drift apart and one of them ends up wrong.
Legal status is stated exactly. Charged is not convicted. A plea is not a verdict. An appeal is not a retrial.
Worldwide cases share one display. Jurisdiction changes how we verify and describe a proceeding, but it does not determine prominence. Court and country appear as factual details; current worldwide interest determines which tracked cases receive the most visible positions.
An investigation is not a case in court. Matters where police are still working and no court has scheduled anything are kept in Active Investigations, labelled as having no court proceeding. Several involve no charged person at all, and the page says so rather than implying a docket exists.
A press conference is not a hearing. Briefings and announcements do not go on the calendar. Confirmed court proceedings and clearly labelled, sourced tentative court events do.
Even so: courts continue courts. If you plan to attend, call the clerk's office first.
The full Court Calendar and Case-Tracking Policy sets out what inclusion on this page does and does not mean, what every entry must show before it is published, and how to report a correction. If something here is wrong, email cassiancreed@cassiancreed.com and we will fix it.

Olmedo held him to answer on all charges and upheld all three special-circumstance allegations — lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. He is held without bail.

Can these dates change?
Yes, and they often do. Hearings get continued, trials get pushed, and courts reschedule with little notice. Treat every date here as the best current information, not a promise.
How are these dates verified?
Each one traces to a court filing, a prosecutor's office, a state agency record, or courtroom reporting. We review the calendar daily, and each entry names its source. See How We Verify Court Dates.
