It was just over a year ago that Sacramento police found Danielle Bock, 17, shot dead in the street. Within a week prosecutors brought a murder charge against Richard Jason Singleton, 19. But it will be January 1991 at the earliest before Singleton comes to trial. Not until December did the case reach superior court. Although Singleton had demanded an immediate trial before that hearing, he later asked for a continuance. The prosecutors agreed, and thus it will be almost two years since Bock's death before her accused killer faces a jury.
