They've had plenty of time to go through the depositions. Totally pisses me off!NOV 14, 2024
Davis' attorney says he has not been on the case as long as prosecutors and still needs to interview about 20 witnesses in what's called depositions. Witnesses testify to both sides, which is not open to the public, so the defense and prosecution can question them before a trial.![]()
'Prove my innocence': Cape Coral murder suspect speaks during court hearing
Christopher Davis is accused of killing Barry Schmalbach in July 2023. Davis told the courtroom he wants to go to trial in January and prove his innocence.www.fox4now.com
"I’m ready to prove my innocence and I agree with them that this is taking too long," Davis said. "I think this should be hurried along."
Sure, didn't look like Christopher was too talkative this time in court? Maybe they are searching in the right area, I hope.The SAO did say they have an area of interest, but wouldn't elaborate further.
As of now, the trial is set for June 23 but that could change based on if investigators find Schmalbach's body

Suspicious scratches, items retrieved from trash
The same day, on July 24, 2023, authorities collected DNA and photographs from Davis.
Authorities reported finding fresh scratches and cuts on Davis' hands, forearms, ankles and shins, which they say he attributed to his cat. Davis told officers he had a Botox procedure done, which they later found he paid for using Schmalbach's credit card.
Police later collected the trash from the communal trash receptacle. Inside, authorities found mail addressed to Schmalbach and a broken iPhone case. They also found remains of shredded credit cards at the condo.
Authorities also traced the use of Schmalbach's credit card in Clewiston days after his disappearance.
Police discovered Davis bought a shovel and a pickaxe from an Ace Hardware store in Clewiston.
An employee told authorities Davis justified the purchase saying he was removing tree roots.
