Bullock jury trial dates confirmed for February 2016, his family attends

This morning a special set for a pre trial hearing was scheduled in Courtroom 1. There was no other media in court.

Just me, a victim witness representative, DA Investigator, the attorneys. Bullock was chatting with his attorney. An older man and woman named Carol walked in, she tried to talk to Bullock but was cautioned by bailiff. Bullock did not even look at her. He sat stone faced for the rest of the brief hearing. Carol Bruno is Bullock's mother.

Deputy District Attorney Jackie Pizzo subbed in for her colleague, Ms. Stacey Eads who is prosecuting the case. Conflict Counsel's Kaleb Cockrum who is representing Bullock said he spoke wirh Eads and they are confirming dates.

Judge Feeney hinted at a possible delay by asking if any additional dates needed to be scheduled, both attorneys said no.

Judge Feeney said, "We will leave future dates for the time being."

Mr. Cockrum thanked the Court, "I appreciate the extra time that the Court gave me to speak to Mr. Bullock about the second doctor's report."

Other than once during the preliminary hearing, one of the pre trial hearings, this is the only time Bullock has had any family members or supporters in the courtroom. After court, Bullock's mother and step-father spoke privately with Mr. Cockrum in a conference room.

No third psychiatrist will be appointed for Bullock, second doctor's report in

Today a pre-trial hearing was specially set at 4 p.m. in the Gary Lee Bullock case. The purpose of the hearing was to see the status of the report by the second psychiatrist, Dr. John Chamberlain, who was supposed to evaluate Bullock. By his attorney's request last time, Bullock's personal presence has been waived for today's hearing.

 Mr. Cockrum said he did not know before today's hearing that Dr. Chamberlain had met with Bullock.

Judge Feeney said he received Dr. Chamberlain's report on October 9. He made copies for both attorneys today.

Judge Feeney said he will not be appointing a third expert as he indicated last time. He cited Section 48.47 and said that in a not guilty by insanity plea, "the Court must appoint two, may appoint a third."

The appointment of the third expert is discretionary, said Judge Feeney.

He set another pre- trial hearing for October 30 at 9:30 a.m. to give "counsel time to review the report." He indicated Mr. Cockrum would probably want to meet with Bullock about Dr. Chamberlain's report.

Judge John Feeney is the assigned trial judge for this case. Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads was present for the People. Conflict Counsel's Kaleb Cockrum is representing Bullock.

Fr. Eric Freed's twin sister, Karin, was in court.
