Thank you.

I find it odd that there are no dates listed for the next proceedings. But they may just plead it out and go straight to sentencing.

You can't put dates for next court appearances because they always change. Only really high profile crimes move faster and with more somewhat solid dates.

Arraignment is set for May 31.

I didn't follow the case all that closely in the beginning. My understanding is that they poached an elk while they were on the clock? Douchebag thing to do, but why all the furor?

Jail time is possible but don't hold your breath. It wouldn't be unusual for anyone facing these types of charges - not just cops - to avoid jail. Especially since they most likely have no criminal history. My guess would be lots of $$ to be paid in fines/costs/restitution and lots of probation time with community service. Just speculation on my part.

Because they preplanned the killing of the elk and then lied about it. The "helper" had called in sick but then showed up to assist the shooter in disposing of the elk.

Plus they are police officers operating under the public trust and lied. The public, especially Byte, will wants something done. This is what PD's do to bad cops, they punish them and fire them...believe it or not.
