This news video puts to rest any idea that the defendant recently visited the apartment/crime scene:
In the defense Motion granted by the Court for an inspection, attorneys are not saying what they were looking for in apartment 201 but only one attorney and a photographer were seen entering the apartment, -- allegedly taking measurements of the bedroom and a closet.
The prosecution and the husband/stepfather both opposed the inspection and the information is being kept private in Court.

"There are measurements of the closets, of how far that is from the bedroom. Where the weapons were located," said Armando Luis, one of Rosa’s attorneys. "Would assist us in getting into the defense’s theory and state of mind at the time."
Whatever information is gathered from inside the apartment will be kept private since it "is necessary to defend against the allegations."

Rosa’s stepfather, Frank Ramos, Garcia’s partner at the time of the murder, is also against the inspection.
In Spanish, Ramos told Judge Richard Hersch he wasn’t in favor because family members, like Rosa’s biological dad and others, cleaned out the apartment. Ramos, in an effort to try and move on after his partner was murdered, will be turning in the apartment at the end of the month.

“The order will allow a 3-hour block this Thursday afternoon. There will be police presence outside the front door. They will not be entering while you are inspecting the apartment. Persons allowed in the apartment 1 attorney, 1 forensic examiner, 1 photographer," Hersch ordered.

Why do Derek Rosa's attorneys want to inspect apartment 201?
It’s unclear what defense attorneys for the teen facing first degree murder are looking for inside apartment 201 at the complex. Because of client-privilege, Rosa’s attorneys did not go into much detail in open court but gave some hints."There are measurements of the closets, of how far that is from the bedroom. Where the weapons were located," said Armando Luis, one of Rosa’s attorneys. "Would assist us in getting into the defense’s theory and state of mind at the time."
