The legal proceedings involving the death of Luis Noriega stalled on Friday.

Nathan Schrank, charged with two counts of first degree murder, one count of involuntary manslaughter and three counts of aggravated battery, was scheduled to have a status hearing Friday, Sept. 21. His attorney, Matthew Walsh, having mistaken the court date for Sept. 27, was not present and no progress could be made.

“He’s on his way or he forgot all about it or what’s going on?” asked Judge Kurt Klein.

Walsh was in Chicago and not en route to the courthouse.

The hearing was rescheduled for 1:30 p.m., Sept. 27.

“It’s annoying more than anything,” said first assistant state’s attorney Joe Cullen. “It won’t affect the outcome of the trial, but it slows it down.”

According to Cullen, this is the second time this has happened.

Gilberto Noriega, Luis Noriega’s father, said he was very disappointed.

“Lawyers are supposed to be professional; they’re supposed to do their jobs,” Noriega said.

“We have followed the whole process so far with all the suspects,” Noriega said. “We’re asking for justice as a family for our son.”
