Judge John Feeney is the trial judge assigned to this case. DDA Stacey Eads was present for the People.
Before his court case was called, I heard Mr. Cockrum tell the bailiff not to bring Bullock down since he is seeing a psychiatrist today.
In court, Mr. Cockrum just said personal appearance was waived.
"Court and Counsel met today. We are still awaiting evaluation and reports from two of the court appointed psychiatrists," said Judge Feeney. The Judge said he "has been in correspondence with the experts."
"For now dates remain set," said Judge Feeney. "Whether we can proceed to trial depends on the status of the doctor's reports." Judge Feeney said they will have a better idea next Wednesday at trial confirmation.
TS' Hunter Cresswell and LOCO's Ryan Burns were in court.

Bullock pre trial continued third time, announced in court just now
A pre trial conference with a special set of 3 p.m. in Courtroom 1 was scheduled this afternoon. It was continued to tomorrow because DDA Eads was not available. DDA Issac works part time and is currently not in the office.
The last court hearing was in a closed courtroom, the one before then was open but only because it was a Visiting Judge and all that happened was the date of September 10 was continued.
The jury trial has been assigned to Judge John Feeney. The case is being prosecuted by DDAs Andrew Isaac and Stacey Eads. Conflict Counsel's Mr. Kaleb Cockrum has been appointed to represent Bullock.
Fr. Eric's sister was in court and found out just as I did around 2:35 when Judge Feeney announced it in court. She walked off upset, which I can understand, this has happened three times now.
Due to the gag order, I can understand why public and press don't know, even though these last minute changes continue in cases with gag orders but to not notify family members of victims when this is happened the third time needs to be addressed.
As I was leaving, Times-Standard reporter Tabitha Soden was walking in and I told her of the rescheduling. No other media was in court.
