Assuming that the hearing on April 6, 2021 goes as expected (ie, the defendant receives the sentence and is hauled off to prison for a long time) I will be hosting a get-together at the Taproom. I am thinking 5-7 pm if the weather is ok.
When you come in, find me hanging out, or tell the person behind the bar that you were Shin's Best Friend (TM) for a pint.
Will confirm again on the day of the hearing.

The hearing for the motion to suppress evidence, originally scheduled for tomorrow was cancelled, and a new hearing for a change of plea is now scheduled at 10 am on Tuesday, April 6, 2021, at the Fairfield County Court, in the East Courtroom.
A plea agreement was reached between the prosecutor and the defense. It is expected to be a short hearing where:
Going through the motion to suppress evidence would have eliminated the possibility of a plea agreement, leading to a full jury trial in May. Needless to say, a lengthy jury trial would not only be extremely costly, but a painful process for Bree and her children. Whatever the plea agreement will be, nothing will bring Shin back, anyway. However, we can move on sooner, whatever that means especially for Bree, Kai, and Ayla, without the pain of reliving the dreadful day for weeks.
I will be coming to Columbus to attend the hearing.
