Guam – While Liana Cabrera remains on the run from authorities for her alleged role in the conspiracy to promote major prison contraband, the courts are moving forward with the 12 other defendants implicated in the case.
You may recall that Gerry Hocog’s case was severed earlier this week, but for the remaining 12 defendants scheduled to be tried together, time is of the essence as Jerome San Nicolas asserted his right to a speedy trial.
His attorney Thomas Fisher requested for a trial date to be set stating, quote, ” my client is driving the train because he has asserted.”
Judge Vernon Perez however, continued San Nicolas’ trial setting until Wednesday, indicating that there may be a possibility of trying the case along side Gerry Hocog in December.
Meanwhile, Shawn Paul Johnson the man alleged to be one of the main conspirators was finally arraigned today,he pleaded not guilty to all charges. Johnson not only has this pending case but he has also been implicated in 5 other cases related to prison contraband, as well as charges in federal court.
As for Roxanne Hocog, she has secured representation by former US Attorney General Clyde Lemmons.
The next court date for all defendants is set for November 1 at 1:30 p.m.
