any other shows you would like to quote so it's out of your system?
I have one question: if he doesn't get another continuance, does that mean they are officially setting the trial start date at the next hearing on November 18th?
Pretty much that. Eventually they say no. Usually you get at least a couple and in a serious case, the last thing you want is the conviction overturned because you didn't give the defense time to make their case. On top of that, it's not like Chris is going anywhere.
No, these are holding days. Chris is just waiting for his day in court. When the sentencing happens, then it would be something different.

I'm surprised he doesn't just do a Rob Bell, telling Chris to plead guilty then pocketing the legal fees. But saying that, he's a court appointed attorney, so he won't be getting anywhere close to the $50,000 that Rob Bell charged Chris and Barb.
I assume he actually did that and Chris just refused. After all, he was just spiritually bonding with Barb, us calling it rape is just us being ignorant of his divine soul.
Likely, or a plea deal will have been brokered, and accepted by Jesus.

Not in Virginia they aren't. Rule 6.1 is described as merely "aspirational." They can do it or not. There is no reward for doing it and no penalty for not doing it. He might look bad if he didn't considering his other voluntary activities:
Or 3: judge sees this case thinks "holy shit this is going to be a holy clusterfuck, who would possibly be willing to deal with this shit? I can't just give this one to the county drunk. Oh yeah, Dave, Dave'll do this!"
