ABC13 - (with video) Suspect in Vanessa Guillen murder asks judge to dismiss indictment
KCEN6 - Defense moves to dismiss all charges in Vanessa Guillen case | kcentv.com
The indictment charges Aguilar with one count of conspiracy to destroy records, documents, or other objects and two counts of destroying records, documents, or other objects.
"The Indictment in this case is shockingly bereft of factual detail from which Ms. Aguilar might be apprised of the charges against her," the motion reads. "Each Count is largely a recitation of the statutory language of the offense it charges, with limited or no application to Ms. Aguilar." .....Gainor argues that while the complaint alleges Aguilar helped Robinson dispose and conceal Guillen's body, the indictment is not sufficient because her body is not an object.....“An indictment is multiplicitous if it charges a single offense in multiple counts, thus raising the potential for multiple punishment for the same offense, implicating the Fifth Amendment double jeopardy clause,” the motion argues. The motion will be heard in Judge Alan Albright's court. A date was not set for the hearing.
Meanwhile, a motion filed March 23 to suppress Aguilar's confession was scheduled to be heard on May 25. @Niner A trial date has not been set.
KHOU11 - Army releasing details in Vanessa Guillen death investigation | khou.com
Friday's press conference is set for 1:30 p.m.
Legislation was introduced in Congress Thursday to change the way the military handles sexual assault investigations. It’s similar to the I Am Vanessa Guillen bill and could be the biggest bipartisan effort we’ve seen.
Washington Post (Lengthy Good Article MOO) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2021/04/30/vanessa-guillen-aaron-robinson/
A report will detail a chain of missteps that allowed the suspected killer of a fellow soldier to flee an unarmed guard before fatally shooting himself last year, in a case that rocked Fort Hood in Texas and sparked calls for systemic changes in how the Army cares for soldiers.
Four pages of the report, obtained by The Washington Post ahead of its Friday public release, offer a previously unreported glimpse into how Spc. Aaron Robinson slipped away on June 30, despite leaders putting him under observation more than two months after the disappearance of Spc. Vanessa Guillén.
The documents obtained by The Post do not say where Robinson got the gun he used to shoot himself or if the Army found negligence among commanders who failed to keep Robinson under guard. The larger report, led by Gen. John Murray, the commander of Army Futures Command, will focus on actions taken by Guillén’s chain of command amid her disappearance and murder.
Authorities were monitoring calls and texts between Robinson and Aguilar while he was under watch. Simultaneously, police were building probable cause and coordinating with prosecutors on how they would arrest him, Army officials said. Robinson’s leaders developed a ruse. He was already under quarantine because a colleague was infected with the coronavirus, so they told him he was to be guarded because he violated quarantine protocols.
He was restricted to a conference room with one entry point, and he would sleep there, the report said, under the watch of a noncommissioned officer on rotating shifts and another supervisor who regularly looked into the room. The guard was unarmed and Robinson kept his cellphone, which he used all night, the report said.
A senior enlisted leader left after an hour and did not brief an incoming guard about the situation, leaving that duty to a junior leader, the report said. Commanders appeared concerned Robinson would learn he was a murder suspect and try to flee. One officer said in a text chain for unit leaders that the guard must “tackle his *advertiser censored* and call the MPs” if Robinson ran away. But the soldier guarding Robinson at that moment was not on the text chain, the report said, and it is unclear whether all the soldiers involved understood he was suspected of murder.

The I Am Vanessa Guillén Act would create a new system for reporting and investigating sexual harassment and assault in the military, putting trained professionals outside an accuser's chain of command in charge. It would also change the way the military handles missing persons cases and give sexual assault survivors who are service members the right to make civil claims against the military. Currently, service members have no such recourse.
Vanessa's sister Mayra is also starting a foundation that will bring awareness about the issues of sexual harassment and abuse in the military and help provide services for those affected.
