Kimberly Holian Smith case - "Continued" (again!)

Last Friday Kimberly Holian Smith's case (11CF000521) was called again in Judge Condon's court. And it was continued - again.

Smith is charged with crimes but not directly connected to all the charges of her husband in the fatal shooting last May of Kurt Milliman just outside Woodstock.

Smith's charges?

Obstruction of Justice/Destroy evidence (two charges)
False Report of Offense
Prostitution

Just how many times will Judge Condon allow continuances?

After two continuances, the public defender was replaced by the law firm of Donahue & Walsh on September 19, 2011. Since then, there have been continuances on October 19, November 23, January 13 and February 10. Her next court date is March 16.

There would seem to be some obvious legal maneuvering, strategy and tactics, in view of her husband's trial date set for May 7, 2012. Will Kimberly's lawyer try to get her trial delayed until after the trial of her husband? Timothy Smith is charged (Case No. 11CF000520) with First-Degree Murder, Aggravated discharge of a firearm in a building, Obstruction of Justice/Destroy Evidence, Pandering and Pimping.

The unanswered question in all this is why hasn't Kimberly Smith been charged as an accessory or accomplice to Murder. Why is she out on a $15,000 bond, while her husband sits in Hotel Nygren on a $900,000 bond?

Kimberly was right there when Milliman was shot. Supposedly, Timothy and Kimberly delayed calling the sheriff's department, while they tried to cook up a cover story.

Why aren't more people raising questions and demanding that the State's Attorney upgrade the charges against Kimberly?
