trial date set for oquist/svendsen case

For those of you who were friends, colleagues, or acquaintances of Angela Svendsen and Kjersten Oquist, who were killed by a drunk driver driving the wrong way on I-5 on February 12, 2007, you may be interested to know that the trial dates have been set for the defendant, Fivea Sharipoff, who has one prior DUII conviction.

I received this information via Janet George and Kelly Gronli today:

Trial for the accident is set and looks like the date is going to stick. The trial is scheduled for the first week of June. The dates are June 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10. The trial will start each day at 9 AM. The Linn County Courthouse is located at

300 Fourth Ave SW
Albany, Oregon 97321

I don’t know which court room the trial will be in but people will be able to find out if they just look on the sheet at the top of the stairs. This is a small courthouse and the listing will include the defendant’s name, Sharipoff. Parking is on the street and there are many spots a couple of blocks away that you don’t have to pay for. Any support would be greatly appreciated. -this via Kelli Gronli

Note: as many court dates have been in the past have been rescheduled multiple times, every attempt will be made to post any changes here to this current trial schedule as soon as possible.
