Parsing of prelim_hearing_date sometimes getting extra text #67

Closed notchia closed 3 years ago

Occasionally a string like "07/02/2020 07/02/2020" is found instead of just "07/02/2020" for the preliminary hearing date.

Edit: actually, sometimes it also does "07/02/2020 07/03/2020," so maybe it's grabbing the next event after the one we want? Or, depending on the regex used, it's finding multiple matching event entries?

Related enough that it's probably the same issue: the preliminary hearing time regex seems to be grabbing both the date and the time, so the "time" column is currently "date time"
