5/24/24 Update: Case developments: Craig fired his attorneys, Andrew Ho, Liz Delay & John Beller of Recht Kornfeld & 5/24/24 hired longtime Denver criminal defense attorney Harvey Steinberg to represent him.
6/5/24 Update: The defense claims prosecutors lied to a witness-one of Craig's alleged mistresses & coerced her into making statements. They want that evidence excluded. Prosecutors claimed their motion is motivated by desperation, as the witness' claims are 'some of the most damning evidence.' In their response, they included some of the alleged voice memos between Craig & the witness, which appear to show them discussing Angela's murder. Court site has cancelled the next hearings 7/26 & 8/2 & trial dates beginning 8/8/24. Next preliminary hearing on 7/23/24 @ 10am.
6/14/24 Update: Craig switched attorneys just 2 months before his criminal trial The Judge granted the requested continuance & set a case management conference hearing for 7/2/24 & a preliminary hearing to deal with an added fourth count against Craig in the murder case for 7/23/24. Craig's 11-day trial, which was scheduled to begin Aug. 8, now won't likely start until at least November.
