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:
- The defendant changes the plea to guilty for some of the charges
- The judge accepts the change of pleas.
- The prosecutor asks for sentencing per plea agreement
- The judge approves/disapproves the sentence.
- The defendant is sentenced.
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.
