COMMONWEALTH vs GEORGE HOPKINS 10-23-19


Recommended Posts

FWIW, the last paragraph of the 21 July WFMX article does clarify some earlier comments / discussions in this thread:

"Hopkins, who remains free on $50,000 unsecured bail, is awaiting trial in the criminal case. On-line court records show that Lehigh County Judge James Anthony in June dismissed the defense’s motion to dismiss one of the sexual assault charges and its motion to compel the Philadelphia Inquirer to hand over the unedited video interview with one of Hopkins’ accusers."

Yep, they're still around but believe they moved to only winter programs at this point. I don't think they had a 2019 fall season, which is why bands like Trumbull and Norwalk participated more heavily in US Bands. I wonder if this may be a catalyst to get things going again in the fall, though.

Oh, did not know that. Good info. I have been out of the CT loop. Spent many fall weekends there in the 80’s through mid 90’s judging band showd.

The 90s were a great time for CT! Lots of terrific bands competing in EMBA back then. We even made the trek down every year to compete with the CT bands.

Sorry, couldn't help but take a detour and reminisce for a second. Back to the original topic!

I was one of those who started EMBA in 1979. I judged there through the mid 90’s, until I went on staff with West Windsor/Plainsboro where I lived. That took my fall time through my final fall season 2017. What band were you with?

We had a bunch of bands outside of CT that came down to CT, so I am not sure...let me think on it.

and we can add his lawyers to that list seeking cash

No doubt.. The economic impact on DCI and DCA are going to take its toll. I really don't see any survival for DCA. DCI maybe.

It actually might be a resurgence for DCA. DCA has been failing for quite sometime but being only weekend, don't have to travel by bus, most not over night, don't have to feed, it might come back sooner. Now with that said DCA has become very young, which can throw out all I just said....OH wait just realized this was a GH thread..lol..sorry

Commonwealth vs Hopkins Update:

I guess no news is good news?  We really do need a "mole" in the DA's or defense attorney's office.  Any of youse guys in PA got any connections?

(Keeping thread back on topic; totally irrelevant scene, but one of my favorites.  Just watched The Godfather for the 15th time.)
