Fans of Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney (Turtleboy) will have to wait another week for the possible return of their hero to broadcasting as his court hearing scheduled for Friday was postponed until February 26, 2024.
Turtleboy seemed skeptical as he announced the possibility of a delay on his Twitter account on Thursday due to prosecutor Ken Mello’s apparent illness, stating:
Ken Mello has requested his court date for tomorrow, with Aidan, be postponed until Feb 26 because he is “sick”. This has not been approved by the judge yet, but Aidan’s defense team will not be opposing it. This WHOLE process makes us sick too.. Stay tuned for updates!

While Turtleboy never delivered on his promised update, reporter Grant Smith Ellis confirmed the delay in a tweet on Friday morning:

Per sources; pending Judge approval, today's hearing regarding jailed #TurtleBoy blogger Aiden Kearney is postponed until 2/26 due to an illness.
Kearney will remain jailed for the time being, after his bond on felony witness intimidation charges was revoked for DV. https://t.co/WphMYqb5o1
The hearing, a pre-trial Conference in Norfolk Superior Court, is now officially rescheduled for February 26, 2024, the same day as the next hearing in the Karen Read murder trial.
As with any hearing related to Turtleboy, fans of the jailed blogger expected the possibility of his release. Turtleboy himself has been fueling some of those expectations as he had been having his social media team post a nightly countdown until his expected release at the end of sixty days of incarceration. The change to the scheduling would require the blogger to be in jail beyond that deadline.
This is a breaking news story.
Update: Broken twitter links fixed.
