    It’s worth noting that the actor for John Redcorn didn’t just pass, he was murdered in a hate crime by a white supremacist and then the Texas cops buried the case.

      Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, the man who shot him, had his pre-trial last month and has a new court date (which I just tried to find but couldn’t yet) is set for the future, so the case is going forward.

          Well “hate crimes” in texas isn’t a separate charge, it’d be tacked on if the prosecution feels they can prove it, but he’s charged with 1st degree murder.
