Notes from Emergency Hearing, Judge denies all motions except one, for now

Judge Strickland has denied motions in the Emergency Hearings except for the Second Autopsy, which will be decided upon the finalization of the primary autopsy.

Judge Strickland stated that he cannot tell Law Enforcement what to do, when they are investigating a murder case. A murder has been committed and to do their investigation, law enforcement has to do whatever they can do to determine any evidence they can find. They may have to disrupt the crime scene if need be to collect any evidence found and law enforcement has their own protocol that they follow as they go about this.

Strickland stated that he heard of the defense being at the crime scene over the weekend and this could have caused law enforcement work harder, longer, and more diligently, than they already were. seemed to be a shot by Strickland at defense team for visiting the site.

Strickland also said this is an unusual case, however he can not bend the rules for this particular one. When forensics is finished with the crime scene, the defense will be allowed to do further investigating.


More updates to follow.
