A flurry of motions filed in the case show Sidney Moorers attorneys are wanting to suppress evidence that may be used to support the charge or other accusations that he kidnapped and murdered Heather.
On Thursday, Moorers attorneys filed a motion to quash the indictment that accuses him of obstructing and hindering justice in the case for two days after Heather was reported missing.
On Friday, Moorers defense team also filed a motion to suppress two video-recorded statements Moorer made to police during their investigation. The first one was recorded on dashcam video on Dec. 20, 2013. The second one was recorded at the police station on Dec. 21, 2013. Both dates coincide with the dates on Moorers indictment for the obstruction of justice charge.
His attorneys argue those statements were just reporting hearsay and were given in violation of Moorers Miranda rights.
A third motion, also filed on Friday, asks the court for an order suppressing testimony and evidence of any other alleged crimes, namely any evidence supporting Moorers kidnapping charge or his initial murder charge in the case.
This has been a highly publicized case, Moorers attorney said in the motion. If such evidence was introduced, the jury could make the mistake of deciding the case on an improper basis, such as an emotional basis.
The motions have not yet been argued in court.
His obstruction of justice trial will be held in Horry County.
The state plans to retry him on the kidnapping charge in a new trial in Georgetown County later this year.
