My poor Court Tracker. When things get busy on the Crime & Courts beat, the database takes a back seat.

With some of the hoopla from the last couple days settling down, I got some quality time today with the Tracker.

Stop on by and check it out. Some things to note on this recent update: Hermosa Beach resident Michael McDermott now has two cases; I've added the recent Carson tagger arrests (they were scheduled for an arraignment today) and Pedro Nunez and Matthew Acosta are scheduled to be arraigned in a couple days - meaning their preliminary hearing is over and a judge found there was enough evidence to hold them for trial for allegedly holding up a Torrance sandwich shop.

I try to update it every couple days, so check back often!

Got this in the inbox recently:

Dear Ms. Nix:
Gosh, your COURT TRACKER department in the DB is fantastic!
What public documents do you use to compile this valuable reporter's resource.
I'd like to maintain something like this for the rest of the county.

In Admiration,

For those of you who don't know what my new best friend Dwight is talking about, you should check out my little labor of love, The Court Tracker. It's the criminal cases I'm following, most of which we've written on and will report on again when there's a significant development. I try to update it as often as possible - usually a couple times a week. It's searchable by defendant, upcoming court date, etc. One day soon, I hope to add civil cases, too.

Check it out and let me know if I've missed anything!
