Unsual twist in Silverio Sanchez and Vincent Ortiz cases

Demurrer is the word of the day. Both cases have jury trial dates set. July 28 for Sanchez and July 20 for Rodney and Vincent Ortiz.

Both Silverio Sanchez and Vincent Ortiz may not make it that far though.

Nolo defines demurrer as:

In a criminal case, a demurrer is a defendant’s assertion that the document laying out the charges—the complaintinformation, orindictment—is legally insufficient. In demurring, the defendant claims that the charging document is so flawed that it can’t be used to convict him or her.

  1. That would be Vincent Ortiz, not Vincent Sanchez......Vincent Sanchez, murdered my friend and neighbor Rick Storre.....a total different case.

    1. Good catch. I fixed the headline but I had it right in the post. When you are covering four or five cases at once and getting information out as fast as I do, even if I edit a headline, the typo stays.
