Oh, I hope to see that 'couldn't care less' smirk wiped right off her selfish face. I wonder what Mom will be doing the trial?

MOO

I doubt she and her homicidal daughter will have any more chances to go get Happy Hour margaritas at the beach anymore.

Happy to hear the news. Wasn’t there something recently about her Mom trying to get the kids? Whatever happened with that?

I hope the Judge allows this information to come in. It goes directly to motive and shows her history of abuse, which is important for the jury to see.

It’s all evidence that has to do with Leilani Simon’s prior criminal history, circumstances in the houseprior to Quinton’s disappearance, and her behavior while police were searching for her son.
…
Much of the evidence presented in the state’s latest motion in the Leilani Simon trial is what’s known as intrinsic evidence which is evidence that can put an alleged crime into context.
…
In this case, the prosecution is asking to introduce several pieces of this type of evidence including evidence of Leilani’s “antipathy” towards Quinton. The motion says that Leilani “never bonded with Quinton” the way she did her two other children.
…
The motion specifically mentions an instance where Leilani was seen “partying” on Tybee Island, and “insisted to the media” the she believed her son had been abducted. During that time- she gave an exclusive interview to WTOC where she discussed that belief.
…
The hearing on whether this evidence can be admitted into a trial is coming up within the next two months. A trial is scheduled to take place in October. WTOC will continue to cover the case.

“Not a smoking gun”: State wants to use Simon’s prior criminal history, allegations of abuse against son in trial

Leilani Simon, the former Burke County resident accused of killing her toddler Quinton and discarding his body in a dumpster, made an appearance in court on Friday.

Lawyers are arguing what evidence should be admitted in trial.
…
He also asked the judge to consider videos, text messages, and interviews that he says show Simon and her boyfriend at the time having relationship difficulties.

Prosecutors want statements from Quinton’s babysitter admitted, saying the babysitter “had some information to provide an instance of actual physical violence.”

Simon’s lawyers pushed back saying these personal details should not be admissible because they’re irrelevant to the charges Simon faces.
…
Judge Tammy Stokes did not make a ruling Friday. She did, however, rule just days ago to deny the defense’s motion to quash some of the charges Simon faces.

The next hearing in this case is set for next month before an expected Oct. 9 trial date.

Another hearing is scheduled for September 17 to address any remaining issues before the murder trial begins on October 9.

I looked and didn't see anything on the 9/17 hearing? Hopefully the trial begins as scheduled.

I plan on going to the beach and having a Happy Hour Margarita to celebrate when she is convicted. Ok, I'll most likely have two of them.

Sounds like a plan! I may even go to the place she celebrated at Tybee! Muhaha!

Bring your lawn chairs.

Maybe sit outside the prison, sip your adult beverage and savor your freedom. Hopefully she'll have lost hers for life.

He just wanted to be loved.

After a long search the best information I found was from a Newsweek article dated August 30, indicating that the September status hearing was cancelled and the October 9 trial is still scheduled:

The murder trial starts on October 9 at the Chatham County Courthouse. The Superior Court Administrator told Newsweek that the final hearing, originally scheduled for September 17, has been canceled.

Who is Leilani Simon? Alleged killer mom put toddler's body in trash

Leilani Simon, the Georgia mother accused of murdering her toddler in 2022, returned to court last week as key evidence in the case was reviewed.

The article reported that there were a couple motions still pending. I couldn’t find anything about them. I hope the trial doesn’t get delayed, it’s time for Quinton to get justice.
