NC - Hania Noelia Aguilar, 13, abducted and murdered, Lumberton, 5 Nov 2018 *Arrest* #5

[Seattle1]

Dearest Hania Noelia was in the 8th grade when she was ripped from her family and friends. I think of her mother this time of year-- knowing she never got to watch her child graduate high school, and go away to University. Today, Hania should have finished her first year of college and coming home to her family for the summer. Instead, this family still awaits justice.

Forever 13...

What a sweet tribute to the pretty, young girl so many of us know, Seattle1.
Hoping July will actually be the month when justice is done.

Fly high, Hania. You are one we will not forget.
Thoughts of her family who will always love her and who will think of her every day.

Another trial delay for man accused of killing 13-year-old Lumberton girl in 2018

The trial of a man charged in the abduction, rape and brutal killing of a 13-year-old girl in November of 2018 has been delayed a second time.

Michael McLellan appeared in court Thursday for a status hearing. He was set to be tried on July 22.

However, one of the lawyers filed a motion asking if she could withdraw because she has another job.

Robeson County District Attorney Matthew School opposed the motion saying it's been nearly six years since Hania Aguilar's death.

Scott told the judge Hania's mother and family have patiently waited in all that time and are ready for McLellan to be tried.

The judge granted the lawyer's request to withdraw. However, he urged the defense to move forward, with haste, to get a second lawyer to represent McLellan.

McLellan’s next court appearance is scheduled for early July, and an update is expected regarding his new legal counsel. No trial date has been set.

@Niner, I tried the court site again to see if I could find the July date but still can't access his cases.

UGH - is right... I think the judge should NOT have granted that motion to withdrawn - come on - 6 years!! Just does not seem right... especially for Hania's family!!

I shall check in next week - and maybe there will be his new hearing date in July.
Thanks for those articles.

Edited to add - I noticed they mention a Thursday hearing - so moving him in my notes to 6/6/24.

This is so beyond unacceptable, getting another lawyer and starting over will probably be another year or more.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Hania mattered.

^^rsbm

Six years and counting!

It's simply additional injustice for Hania's family.

I've said it before that I find it very sad no big names a la South Carolina legal fame have ever come forward to express support for this family.

I dunno. Maybe it's not a big headline -- black defendant, and the victim a little brown girl living on wrong side of the tracks?

[I make this post on the date of another exclusive for Sherri Papini-- serving as a reminder that justice is not equal]!

Hania did matter! I see a child murdered for nothing more than getting up that morning and being ready for school. Being ready 5 minutes too early. MOO
