The Southern Pines Pilot has a follow up on the Jeff Hardy court case. As we mentioned on the site yesterday, the prosecution asked for yet another continuance at the 3/16 session because the state was still waiting for testing results from the alleged drugs that were found at Hardy's house in 2009. Yes, 18 months apparently is not enough time to run drug tests. Amazing.
Anyway, the piece notes that Hardy's attorney Jim Van Camp was ready to take a plea bargain when Assistant District Attorney Warren McSweeney told him that the state is still waiting for the results.
The ADA asked for a 6/2 hearing and the judge asked him, "Have you asked them to rush this? How long does that take?" McSweeney told him that it typically takes 30 days.
The judge asked if they could both be ready in 30 days and Van Camp said he could be. The judge then ordered that the testing results be "rushed" and set an April 20 court date.
PWI
