“An Augusta man accused of killing his stepdaughter who went missing in 2017 made his
first court appearance in over a year Friday.
[SBM]
Tripp’s Richmond County Superior Court case was recently reassigned to Judge Daniel J. Craig.
The case was specially assigned because District Attorney Natalie Paine filed notice of her intention to seek a death sentence if Tripp is convicted of murder.
Craig told the attorneys Friday that
he wanted to ensure Tripp’s case was on track after a 19-month delay since Tripp was arraigned.
Craig set an April 6 deadline for the attorneys to file all motions.
The motion hearing will be May 21 and 22.
Craig and the attorneys went through the formal checklist created for death penalty cases in Georgia. Tripp is being represented by two members of the Georgia Capital Defender Office, Brad Gardner and Emily Gilbert. They are the second set of attorneys appointed to his case.

Tanya Tripp is also charged with murder for allegedly failing to protect her daughter. She has pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately from her husband.
Carwell’s remains were found in a grave off Golden Camp Road on March 8, 2018.” (BBM)
