CA - Maurice Taylor Jr, 12 & Maliaka Taylor, 13, decapitated, Lancaster, Dec 2020 *parents arrested*

I just can't believe this case.

 

[Niner]

Anyone know if they both plead not guilty at the arraignment hearing on 11/10?

TIA!

Is there any chance you can download the documents?

I just can't wrap my head around why this case isn't getting more attention in the media (or on WS for that matter). It's baffling to me!
Two innocent children lost their lives at the hands of one or both of their parents and two others children will most likely suffer the effects of what they were allegedly shown & subjected too for the rest of their lives.

Is it possible that there is a media blackout on this case? They can be put in place here in the UK, but not sure whether it is possible in the US?

Don't know what documents you want me to download - as I can only access the court site - which I gave the link to when I posted the new court date.

 

[Lusitana]

I wonder if the media is silent because there are surviving children and this might be a way to protect them.

'Case not found' when I use your link. I have tried MA08033502 but that is not bringing up anything either.

Maybe @gitana1 can help you with finding documents. I only know "how" to get into where the court site gives the next trial dates. Sorry it doesn't work for you.

If you go to the link I provided - on the top blue tabs - hover over the Online one & click on Criminal Case Summary - then "I Agree" click - and it should bring up a page where you can put the case # in.

Any update on this?

Had to go to the inmate lookup at lasd.org to find this info, but per attached screenshots, next court date is 1/25/2022. Then, a week later, they’re both scheduled to appear on 02/02/2022.

 

[Lusitana]

I really want to know what the heck happened, who did the actual killing, what the surviving kids know, what was the plan, etc. Such a morbid, strange case. I'm actually shocked that everything is so quiet.

Do you know if they got arraigned - or is that reset to 1/25/22? And the name of the court hearing for 2/2/22?
TIA!

 

[realanastasia]

Well, the next court date listed when I put in the case number MA080335 in the court calendar is February 2, 2022, which is described as "Arraignment and Plea" for both defendants. See attached screenshots!
I also got screenshots of the pages listing all past hearings/court activities for both defendants, just as a matter of record and in case there's anything listed there that we weren't previously aware of.
FYI, I have had luck putting in the case number as MA080335 (take off the -01 and -02 suffixes; these refer to Defendant 1 (him) or Defendant 2 (her).

 

[Niner]

Yes, @realanastasia - I can access that page you posted above.

And was just coming over to post their next hearing date. Looks arraignment & plea hearings were reset. I'll go ahead & post this just in case someone can't "see" your attachments.

Thanks @realanastasia & @Niner
The media is so quiet on this one......

 

[airportwoman]

There are probably things going on that the authorities believe the public does not need to know.
