The next appellate court hearing for Death Row inmate Kevin Cooper has been delayed until January. Cooper, who was sentenced to death for the 1983 murders of four people in Chino Hills, had his case scheduled for oral arguments before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Nov. 2.
The court, however, delayed the hearing until Jan. 9, apparently because one of the justices familiar with Cooper's case was unavailable.

How convenient. I wonder which Judge it was and what was so pressing.
This is a convicted death row occupant that got off the hook after concerns were raised that he might feel pain when he was being put into a deep dirt nap.
I hope the victims family and friends don't feel 'put off' by this latest twist.
