Livesay named lead prosecutor in Heather Elvis case, trial possible by wintertime

A new attorney is taking over the legal reins in the trial of Sidney and Tammy Moorer.

Jimmy Richardson, solicitor for the 15th Judicial Circuit, confirmed Monday that assistant solicitor Nancy Livesay is now the lead prosecutor in the Moorer murder trial.

Richardson said the transfer took place about two weeks ago.

Livesay takes over for senior assistant solicitor Donna Elder, who’s been handling the case since the Moorers were charged in February in connection with the disappearance of Heather Elvis.
 
Congratulations Chief Saundra Rhodes! Those who have been following the case will recognize her.

DNA testing has been completed on human remains recently found in Florida that attracted the attention of Horry County police investigating the disappearance of Heather Elvis, according to a Florida law enforcement agency. But the findings are creating more questions than answers since the remains still have not been positively identified

In Florida, autopsy results are considered public information, but Davidson cited an exemption in that state's law that he said allows law enforcement agencies to not release autopsy findings during active criminal investigations. "We won’t be releasing any additional records while the investigation is still ongoing," Davidson said via email. "Sorry, wish I had something more for you, but there just isn’t anything new that we can release at this time."

The report did describe body conditions as "not recognizable" and as a "near complete or complete skeleton." The body was wrapped in a pink bath robe, curtains and a homemade Mickey Mouse print bed sheet, the NamUS report continued. A Volusia County Sheriff's Office incident report said a man walking just outside the city limits of DeLand, Fla. found the remains in a trash bag.

Hi guys. Newbie here so if I break any rules please let me know. Any thoughts on this motion that the prosecution filing a motion to have a new motion sealed and kept from the public? I found it off that TM's name is on this document, and SM's is not. Does that make it possible that perhaps SM has cut a deal? Whatever it is they want sealed must be detramental to their case IMO... Like I said, sorry if I broke any rules... Brand New Newbie :)
