The criminal cases against Now Mining defendant Jeremie Sowerby are collapsing in dominos, each delay knocking the next trial further down the calendar.
Two court-appointed attorneys abandoned the Now Mining case in September, both citing new jobs. Sowerby's CJA attorney filed to withdraw on September 11th. The court approved it four days later and assigned him a replacement. Ortega's attorney followed the same path on September 29th, with the court granting withdrawal on October 1st.
The exodus left both new lawyers scrambling to catch up on case files. On October 6th, the court yanked the Now Mining trial off the calendar entirely. It had been set for November 18th, 2025. A status conference is now scheduled for November 24th.
That single cancellation triggered a cascade of delays across Sowerby's other pending cases.
His Dunamis Mining trial, also scheduled for November 18th, got vacated the same day. The court gave no public reason, listing only "reasons set forth on the record." A status conference in that case is also set for November 24th. Both hearings are in the same Arizona District Court.
The Softek and Justice Capital trial hit a different wall. Sowerby's attorney filed a motion on October 4th requesting a postponement, arguing the case should wait until after Now Mining wrapped up. The motion spelled out the problem plainly: with Now Mining facing "extended continuance" while new counsel got oriented, Sowerby's attorney couldn't prepare for two trials back to back. He asked for 60 additional days. He also disclosed that another trial he was handling had been declared a mistrial and rescheduled for early December.
The court signed off on October 6th and pushed the Softek trial to February 24th, 2026.
A December update brought a slight reprieve in the Dunamis case. At Sowerby's request and with prosecutors agreeing, that trial moved to January 13th, 2026.
By February, the calendar had shifted again. On February 11th, the court slapped a "non-firm" trial date of August 21st, 2026 on Now Mining. The non-firm designation suggests the court isn't confident that date will hold either.
🤖 Quick Answer
What caused the delays in Jeremie Sowerby's Now Mining criminal trials?Two court-appointed attorneys withdrew from the Now Mining case in September, both citing new employment. Their departures forced replacement counsel to review extensive case files, prompting the court to remove the November 18th, 2025 trial date entirely and schedule a status conference for November 24th instead.
How did attorney withdrawals create a cascade effect in the Now Mining case?
The sequential resignation of Sowerby's CJA attorney on September 11th and Ortega's attorney on September 29th left newly assigned lawyers insufficient preparation time. The court cancelled the scheduled trial on October 6th, triggering a domino effect of postponements across related proceedings on the calendar.
