Got this in my alerts.


Nov. 7, 2023
LUMBERTON, N.C. (WPDE) — More than 20 new motions have been filed by lawyers of 39-year-old Michael McLellan ahead of his trial in the brutal murder of 13-year-old Hania Aguilar in November of 2018.
[.....]
The recent motions filed in the case involve several matters, including a motion for all phone records in the case, names of expert witnesses the state intends to call and information regarding any deals or concessions made to state witnesses, a motion for all investigators who worked hania's killing to turn over all information related to the case, including notes, to prosecutors.

McLellan's lawyers also want the death penalty removed or stricken from consideration.
[.....]
At this time, it's not clear if or when a hearing will be held on the motions filed by McLellan's attorneys.



darn no hearing date...
 
Good to see some movement! Here's another article, @Niner.

NOV 5, 2023
Mclellan will stand trial around the last week in February of 2024, according to Robeson County District Attorney Matthew Scott.
 
Thanks for the updates, P-Mommy and Niner.

Guessing that the death penalty possibility gives the defense attys a bit more time to plan the defense. Dunno.
Twenty more motions... damm

Thank you!! :)

I find it infuriating. The State announced they were seeking the death penalty in June 2019 so the defense has had more than enough time.

It sickens me the way this child's family have been treated. and I wish Hania's case received a fraction of coverage/justice as Murdaugh's victims. :mad:

Today also marks 5 years since her body was located in a swamp.
 
There is typically a 4 year delay in cases coming to trial in Robeson County.

There was a case last month where a man given pre-trial release while waiting for a First Degree Murder trial shot (fortunately not fatally) two policemen.

There is a long backlog of murder cases. In most cases, drug dealers shooting other drug dealers.

It’s a somber anniversary for a Lumberton family whose loved one’s body was found in a muddy pit after authorities said she was abducted.

Monday marked five years since the 13-year-old Hania Aguilar’s body was found in a wooded area off Wire Grass Road, but her family is still waiting for justice.

[...]

Court records show McClellan is expected to have a hearing in the case on Dec. 4.

WMBF News has reached out to the Robeson County District Attorney’s Office several times to find out what will happen during that hearing. We have not yet heard back.
 
Where are you seeing that?

They sometimes call experts in zoology or entomology where there has been animal or insect activity postmortem.
Several times in this thread. I am terrible at searching but will try.

Perhaps it is in reference to that. I don't recall zoology before: "The items listed in the request are the full output from the FBI’s STRmix program used to interpret (DNA) results, all temporaneous FBI lab protocol standard operating procedures from DNA and zoology testing, FBI lab quality assurance manual, the most recent lab audit results and any and all photographs from investigating agencies, according to Pope."
