The judge in Odessa granted the delay of the pre-trial hearing because David's son, Chris, is still trying to finalize funding for a loan to hire a private attorney. The lender is waiting for an appraisal of Chris' property.
The pre-trial hearing is now scheduled to begin sometime between the last week of November and the first week of December.
Chris sued David several years ago for squandering his inheritance, hated his father and cut off communication. What would cause him now to take out a loan to hire a private attorney for this man who confessed to the murder?
Why not let the court appointed attorney handle the conviction?
What attorney would want to take a case they would lose (assuming that there is one in the area who doesn't hate the Clarks)?
It makes you wonder what Chris is thinking.
