"The victims have been subpoenaed 12 times. Every time they relive the horror."

Once again, the Seth Morton jury trial was continued despite objections from the People and the victims, this was on May 6 during the trial assignment calendar.  The jury trial was supposed to start on May 9, 2016.

May 13, 2016 is the new date for a disposition and reset.

Public Defender Casey Russo, who represents Seth Morton, requested another motion to continue.

Deputy District Attorney Jackie Pizzo told Judge Joyce Hinrichs that, "People are in opposition. This has been going on for some time. "

Mr. Ed Denson, who represents the victims, Morton's own mother and her partner, agreed with Ms. Pizzo "The victim has the same right to a speedy trial as the defendant. The victims have been subpoenaed 12 times. Every time they relive the horror."
