Defense attorneys were expected to discuss what motions they intend to file in the case during a conference Monday before Superior Court Judge Joseph W. Oxley. Instead, Patrice Bearden, a deputy assistant public defender who is representing Caneiro, told Oxley she just received 1,172 pages of additional investigative reports from prosecutors late Friday and she needs time to go through them before deciding what motions to file.

Caneiro, 57, of Ocean Township, has been in jail five years, four months and seven days awaiting trial in the November 2018 murders of his brother, sister-in-law, and the couple's two young children, Superior Court Judge Joseph W. Oxley said at a conference in the case on Tuesday.
