As the red light for jury trials in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County drags on, Chris Hottingerâs frustration grows.
Sheâs been waiting since the Aug. 5, 2019, crash that killed her daughter, Raven Morgan, 30, of Broadway, for the man accused of causing the wreck to face trial.
The trial has been postponed because of a statewide judicial emergency issued by the Supreme Court of Virginia due to COVID-19 precautions.
âItâs gut-wrenching. I want closure,â said Hottinger, 52, of Bergton. âWhen you know the date of the trial is approaching and then they reschedule it, you get that feeling of âHere we go again.â Every time we go back to court, it brings that night of horror up.â
