Nick Schultz trial update

I will add to this post as I obtain more information next week:

Just checked on the DC Courts website and here's what I see.

A few explanations: I don't have contact with the misdemeanor prosecutors so I can't ask questions yet (it's Sunday folks) but I will try.  A dismissal by Praecipe is new to me.  Google tells me it's basically a motion to dismiss.  Looks like there was a motion to dismiss based on Double Jeopardy filed by the defense on June 9, then a motion to hurry things up by the defense June 11 (I'll get copies of these)... then the state dismissed a charge or two (filed the motion on the 26th and the court acted on it, same day, not sure but it looks like two charges were dismissed)... Had a jury trial that day (not uncommon to handle some charges with a motion to dismiss and then move forwards into the trial phase on the same day) and looks like he got a not-guilty from a jury.

I don't know what more to tell you.  The last entry (top of the list) is confusing to me, I don't know why there would be a "non jury trial" scheduled in relationship with this case, unless it means there was one more charge hanging around, which was separate from what got tried on June 26, but it, too, was dismissed by the prosecutor (that's what "nolle" refers to... a "nolle prosequi".)

Also sorry it's so light, I copied and pasted into a word document first to narrow the boxes so it would fit and I don't know how to quickly/efficiently change the text color, so please, forgive me.
