Yesterday, all three stooges were in the court room. It doesn't appear that Maytee's need for brain surgery was addressed. 
If I'm interpreting the court notes correctly, Big John's lawyer is still trying to sever the cases (= he doesn't want his client tried together with the other defendants) and Ramirez's lawyer is challenging the admissiblity of testimony by one of the case detectives.
The trial start date was pushed back one week, from 5/ 16 to 5/ 23.
