On Friday morning, Judge Jack Alsop held a pre-trial hearing in the Hacker Valley triple homicide case.
Among the rulings made by Judge Alsop were the following:
- As both of the defendants stipulated to certain evidence gathered by the State during its investigation of the case, the State will be able to present at trial the various statements made by the defendants, including 911 calls made by the female defendant, recorded statements made by both defendants to police, and certain other verbal statements made by the defendants.
- As a result of the stipulation (meaning the defendants did not object), evidence gathered by police at the scene of the crime as a result of searches conducted at the victims' and defendants' residences and vehicles will be admissible.
- The female defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment claiming that she was not properly charged was denied.
- The defendants' motion to dismiss the case based on a claim that the State was late in providing discovery of its evidence was denied.
Trial of the two alleged murder defendants is set to begin on April 23, 2013. For a full listing of all of the charges against the defendants, please click on this link:
