Scheffler paying anything. 

The County Attorney looks pretty silly in this video, IMO.

It looked like a normal court hearing to me.

He's making an argument about not treating Scheffler different while actively trying to treat him different by not wanting the arraignment moved.

Unless Jefferson County does things differently from the rest of the state (which wouldn't shock me), it was probably the Commonwealth Attorney that was involved in that hearing.

Could be, I'm not sure on that.

The arraignment isn't moved too often, without it already being agreed upon by the prosecution and the defense, even then it's pretty rare. Now people may waive their preliminary hearing (not the same as arraignment) or ask for it to be continued to a later date for various reasons. I've definitely seen that done as a more common practice.

Let's face it, they are already treating him different.  They let him out on OR and now they pushed his arraignment back until June.  Considering the nature/type of charge, this is probably the only time in the history of Jefferson County that those two things have happened.  Sure it happens all the time for much lesser charges and such but not in situations like this.  

Plus as sf41 alluded to, the Commonwealth Attorney of Jefferson County is probably involved in this.  All eyes are on this case and it is one of those cases that could severely alienate and damage the relationship between the Commonwealth Attorney and every law enforcement official in Jefferson County.  And on that point, forget Scheffler, (because we know not much if anything is going to happen to him) no citizen of Jefferson County wants that type of division.  It is horrible for the city of Louisville/Jefferson County if this is not handled properly by the Commonwealth Attorney. 

Who will get more preferential treatment: Scheffler or the police officer?

What are you suggesting with the police officer? 

With Scheffler, like I mentioned in my last post, my guess is he is getting the greatest preferential treatment of all time.

The original date/time was set without input from Scheffler's counsel. That is the reason for the move from what I can gather.

How, in your opinion, should it be handled differently than it has to this point?

Assuming that is true (and I am not arguing the point) that would be standard operating procedure because in almost all cases the alleged perpetrator would be sitting in jail so the system is required to give the perp a quick arraignment.

First or all, he should not have been let out on his own with no bond.  I know it would not be any issue for Scheffler to post a bond but that is not the point.  The point is you want blind justice/equal treatment and if celebs/rich/famous get preferential treatment then justice certainly isn't blind.  Now, once they let him out with no bond that put us down the rabbit hole.  Fast forward to today, normally the perp would be sitting in court in his orange jump suit and then court would have been much different today.  But since they already gave Scheffler preferential treatment, the prosecution was between a rock and a hard place today.  If they just agree to the continuance it would be considered more preferential treatment by many so the prosecution had to object even though they knew they would be overruled by the Judge. 

With all that said, I am glad it was continued so the dust can settle and all sides can take a hard look at all the facts and come up with a resolution.
