I peeked ahead on my calendar and found an entry for May 17 that says: “Paul Hoover Trial Begins.” It turns out the trial has been pushed back – again. This time to Aug. 2, 2021. The wheels of justice are grinding much slower than Paul Hoover ran even on a bad day.
It is yet another devastating delay for the Hoover family. This time it is a discovery delay – witnesses are vacationing.
It happened so fast – in the blink of an eye. We may never know all the details of what happened on May 23, 2017. However, we are certain that Jarvis Strickland blasted over a hill on Springhill Road in his Toyota Camry driving at extreme speeds before plowing into Paul Hoover at a speed of 89 miles per hour ending his life at the age of 66.
