Someone was ill and/or wasn't able to get something completed on time. Something like that.
Is TS not able to get back from Mississippi in time?
It was someone other than Tommy, his attorneys, the victims, their attorneys, the prosecutor, and the judge. That's my understanding.
The thing is that there are a number of aspects that go into sentencing. Remember the reference to a pre-sentencing report somewhere, something like that? If the person preparing that got ill or had some delays, things could be delayed.
Well, it is obvious that it is not due to the prosecuter, Katherine Stott. Based on the daily docket for the Circuit Court, she has a full schedule for Friday morning.
