Update: New Hearing Date Fixed for Raghunandan Yandamuri

***************

Media reports from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania say that the preliminary hearing of Raghunandan Yandamuri has been postponed.

The hearing was postponed at the request of Yandamuri’s public defender attorney Stephen Heckman.

26-year-old Raghunandan Yandamuri

Yandamuri has been charged with the murder of fellow Telugus, Satyavathi Venna (61) and Saanvi Venna (10-months) and kidnapping of Saanvi Venna  among other charges .

Heckman asked the court for more time to prepare for the case since he was only appointed Friday by a panel of Montgomery County judges.

The new date for the preliminary hearing is not known.

Yandamuri’s hearing was earlier scheduled for Friday, November 2, 2012 in the court of Magisterial Judge James Gallagher.

Yandamuri’s hearing was set to be held in the Upper Merion Township building rather than the court room for security reasons.

Police might have reason to be concerned because Yandamuri’s alleged killings have provoked deep revulsion among the Telugu community to which he belongs.

The victims were also Telugus.

Yandamuri’s attorney Stephen G. Heckman, who was previously chief public defender of Montgomery County, PA, from January 2008 through April 2012, has a hard job ahead of him.

Heckman has an office on Morris Road in Blue Bell, PA.

Raghunandan Yandamuri – Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Despite the loss of his police constable father at a tender age, Telugu bidda Raghunanda Yandamuri’s life did not skid into a Dickensian hell of poverty.

Au contraire, it took on an entirely different trajectory.

Thanks to the heroic efforts of his mother Padmavathi who secured a job in the Vizag district police department as a clerk, the fatherless boy was able to secure a good education.

To his credit, the young boy was an earnest student who didn’t let his early misfortunes deter him.

In this post, we look at the young man’s past, present and future.

This post posits that the past has little bearing on one’s future actions.

Nothing, nothing in Raghunandan Yandamuri’s past would suggest the complete train-wreck his future would turn into.
