*Motions Hearing (@ 8:30am CT) - MO – Jane M. Moeckel (61), Zoe J. Kasten (8), Jonathan D. Kasten (10) & Kate Kasten (39) (mom of kids) (Dec. 28, 2018, St. Charles; shot) - *Richard Darren Emery (46) (BF of mom) charged (12/29/18) & indicted (4/12/19) with 4 counts of 1st degree murder, 7 counts of felony armed criminal action, 3 counts of 1st degree assault (attempt-serious physical injury/special victim) & 1 count of 1st degree attempted robbery. No bond. DA will seek DP.
Trial set to begin 2/8/21.
Officers arriving after a hysterical 911 call (midnight Friday 12/28) — in which the dispatcher could hear several shots being fired in the background — spotted a vehicle leaving near the crime scene at a high rate of speed, said cops. Police fired at the fleeing vehicle, believed to be driven by the killer. One of the cops’ cruisers was riddled with bullet holes. Soon after, a suspect matching the same description of the suspected killer tried to carjack a woman. He stabbed the female driver before zooming away, said investigators. She is expected to recover. Seven hours later, the bleeding man was tracked down to a convenience store, where he was arrested.

Court information from 12/31/18 thru 8/26/19 reference post #102 here:
MO - 4 family members gunned down in St. Charles home, 29 Dec 2018

10/29/19 Update: No hearing on 11/1.

Therefore, the media coordinator, shall be granted access to the courtroom. Motions hearing on 11/13. Also Motions hearing also scheduled for 12/16.

Murders were one year ago.:(
Nothing new on the docket since my last post 1 1/2 weeks ago.
Trial is scheduled more than one year from now FEB 2021, so likely not much activity for the next 8 or 9 months

Thank you very much @oviedo - too bad they didn't tell us the next court date.... :(
 
bumping up for @oviedo - wondering if there is a next court date yet? Last one I have was 12/16/19.

TIA! :)
 
and another bump for @oviedo - maybe something "new" on the court site? And you don't have to copy everything - just where you left off (post #110) at 1/13/20.

TIA!
