In my 10/4/24 update on Jose Cruz's case which I added to my July 24 post, I wrote, "Mario Tafur wasted so much time and did absolutely nothing on this case." Conflict Counsel was appointed to represent Cruz in October and at the 10/31 hearing, there was a continuance requested by stipulation and granted because Tafur failed to provide Conflict Counsel with discovery and preliminary information.
In the few cases that I have covered, the defendants who made a mistake to hire Tafur like Cruz and Tyler Ruise get held to answer on charges and this despite are numerous continuances. If you have money to retain a defense lawyer, who you hire makes a difference. There is only so much another lawyer can do to fix the mistakes made by your previous lawyer at preliminary hearing.
11/7: Motion to consolidate continued by court to 11/19 which is the same day Readiness Conference is scheduled; jury trial is scheduled for 12/2.
11/19: Once again, another continuance to 11/25.
11/25: Motion to consolidate granted. 12/2 date vacated. Readiness Conference on 3/11; jury trial on 3/25.
