Nino and Torres murder retrial moving along ... slowly
Checked in this morning with Deputy District Attorney Craig Hum, who is prosecuting Joe Nino and Miguel Torres in their second trial for killing a friend in Rolling Hills.
He said the trial is proceeding without any major twists or new revelations that would take it off the course he laid out during opening statements on Feb. 18. It is, however, waaaaaay behind schedule and spring break in a couple weeks may prove a problem for keeping jurors. Hum said he expects there's at least three weeks left in the trial, which is only proceeding in the afternoons.
