Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #52

[NCWatcher]

Considering the Judge said the trial wouldn't start until April 4th - after jury selection - then LS can still plead not guilty by reason of insanity per her defense attorney. They'll get the eval by March 31st - trial wouldn't start until 4 days later.

That's true. But I guess I was thinking a trial really starts with jury selection. And that's slated to begin earlier than the 31st.

But doesn't the defendant enter their plea at start of trial? or close to it - maybe they'll stick in another hearing before trial during jury selection? Who knows with this case! LOL!

Yes. that's probably true. (Since I'm not an attorney I don't know for sure when certain kinds of pleas are entered.)

But I do know questioning of potential jurors might proceed differently with knowledge of the report. (For both sides.) And if there's going to be a delay in the "trial" part of the trial after jury selection, that may not work scheduling-wise for jurors. They are allowed to have lives.

Plea was entered during a hearing last fall.

Plea was entered during a hearing last fall.

Yes - but per my notes from yesterday's hearing - I have this:

Defense attorneys state that, depending on the results of the mental health evaluation, an insanity plea could still be coming.

Don’t know if this would have anything to do with it, but just yesterday all jury trials in the 4th Judicial District scheduled for January 31 thru February 11 were put on hold due to Covid-19.
Maybe Judge Werner doesn’t want to lose their “ place in line “ so to speak? I have no idea if it works like that.
Perhaps he already assumes it will be pushed out because of this. JMO

You could be right. I don't know if it's a matter of a place in line exactly, but the judge has requested 6 weeks for the trial. That's a big chunk on the calendar. Maybe there are ways to "work around" the various problems although I'm not so sure about that 63-day requirement @Seattle1 brought up. (63 days from now is April 4 but the eval hasn't even been done yet.)

If the trial can't go forward at the end of March/beginning of April as planned, there's probably a backlog of shorter jury trials that could make use of the courtroom and the jury pool during at least part of those 6-weeks. But more than a few days notice would be needed, I'd think. And March 17 isn't far from March 28.

Not a big update... but now we know why the previous January 13 date for #LeteciaStauch's hearing was canceled.

An attorney involved in the case would not have been able to appear because of "COVID-19 related issues."

Has anyone tweeted or youtube a pic of LS from the hearing last Thursday?

There would not have been cameras/recording in court last Thursday so any images would have been from prior advisement.

TY that's what I thought. Just checking if anyone leaked a still from Zoom.

That's an old photo. It's from her first appearance in Colorado I'm pretty sure.

I recognize the yellow jumpsuit from LS 3/11/2020 first appearance when she was advised of the charges against her.

Not sure what motion(s) needs to be addressed… the last thing filed online is from late December.

I saw the court date listed on the EP county jail site last Friday. It wasn’t listed on the court docket site at that time, so I wasn’t sure what was going on.

I didn’t realize that the County jail site would show that! Do you have to be set up for alerts ?
