The OSCN report now reflects that Tywone Parks waived his right to District Court Arraignment Monday and it has been rescheduled for June 23 at 1:30 PM.

I was at the courthouse for Tywone Parks’ arraignment yesterday. As for details, I don’t have many. It was crowded in the courtroom, so I was sitting in the hallway waiting for Judge Steidley to deal with his sounding docket before they brought prisoners over from the county jail. My plan was to enter the courtroom when I saw the defendants in custody brought over.

At one point, I looked up and saw Parks’ attorney, Jack Zanerhaft, standing the courtroom. I got up and headed for the door to see what was happening, and Zanerhaft came out before I could get there. I heard him tell a sheriff’s deputy that they had not received the transcript from the preliminary hearing so they had requested–and received–a later arraignment. And that was it. I didn’t report it before now because I was hoping to see what the OSCN site reported. As of a few moments ago, it has not been updated since May 19. As soon as I get details I’ll post more.
