GUILTY FL - Megan Todt 42, Alek 13, Tyler 11, Zoe 4, & dog Breezy, murdered, Celebration, Jan 2020 #2

[Kecharaeq2]

My speakers blew out - would this be the same motion - this is what I have in my notes:
3/9/22: Notice of hearing-State's Motion in Limine, regarding diminished capacity or mental health issues of the defendant.

Or is the one you mentioned a different motion? TIA!

The same one I believe. It didn’t report that it was a new motion.

Edit: According to the Osceola County Clerk, there is still just 1 Motion in Limine hearing on 3/30/22 at 11am between now and the trial date.
