According to the court docket, Jim Bell was arraigned on Nov 29 and pled not guilty to two charges of interstate stalking. A jury trial is set to begin on Jan 22, 2001. Pretrial motions cutoff is Dec 20. Jim remanded. Entries on Dec 11 show something is up: a motion was made for a Dec 22 closed hearing on the topic of defense counsel, and Jim has sent a letter to the judge, "re: counsel."
