You can watch the entire interview with Wichita County District Attorney John Gillespie in the link.
There are a few sound issues in the beginning but it will have sound.
DA Gillespie brought up some information that we the public were not privy to before concerning the video of JS3 slapping the 2 year old little boy and the date's. There is clear and convincing evidence with the manipulation by Staley of the videos that prove there was premeditation on Staley's part showing he was attempting to create proof that Wilder McDaniel fell from his crib the night he was murdered by this psychopath.
Makes my stomach sick!!

The interview also touches on the court motion hearing for JS3's public defender being appointed. According to Mr. Gillespie and the video link Staley was brought into the hearing wearing only a paper gown and was observed crying throughout the hearing while clinging to the lawyers.

What a difference a week makes! He was shown sauntering through the courthouse hallways with his cellphone and arrogant, better than everyone else attitude. Now with the LWOP sentence the Tarrant County jury convicting him of he's suddenly a mental patient? GTHOOH

Can you please help me understand the difference between the two dates of
08/04/2023 & 08/11/2023?
It's basically like the court knows that there will be a continuance or reset with both of the dates are for the pre-trial hearing? TYSM
