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

[Marysmith]

He hated them to justify what he needed to do.
He is just so repulsive.
If he doesn’t plead out I hope he gets the DP honestly.

WHERE is Megan's family? I understand there was estrangement to some degree. But doesn't her sudden homicide and the wipe out of all of the kids bring out any of her immediate family?

It looks like the pre-trial meeting was held on 12/16/20. The case was transferred to a different division, and a status hearing was set for 2/5/21.

Here is a link to a news article covering the changes.

Prosecutors will not seek death penalty against dad accused of killing family at home in Celebration

Jan. 4, 2021
ORLANDO, Fla. – Orange-Osceola State Attorney Aramis Ayala will not seek the death penalty against Anthony Todt, who stands accused of killing his wife and three children at a home in Celebration last year.

Ayala, who has made headlines in the past due to her stance on the death penalty, filed a notice of intent to not seek the death penalty in the case of Todt and several other high-profile cases. News 6 has reached out to Ayala, who did not seek re-election, for comment but has not heard back.

12/16/20 Update: Todt was brought from jail to the Osceola County Courthouse & appeared in the courtroom Wednesday afternoon with his public defender. Court officials said an order was signed Wednesday transferring the case from Judge Wayne Wooten & Felony Division 201 to Judge Keith Carsten & Felony Division 301. Divisions 201 & 301 are both in Osceola County, Fla. His case is set for a status hearing on Feb. 5, 2021, at 8:30am. before Judge Carsten. A trial date could be set at that time. On Tuesday, Todt’s attorney, Public Defender Robert Wesley, filed a motion for continuance of the pretrial conference because “additional time is needed in order to prepare this case for trial,” and, “The accused previously waived speedy trial.”
1/4/21 Update: Orange-Osceola State Attorney Aramis Ayala will not seek the death penalty against Todt.

Todt remains held on no bond at the Osceola County Jail.


I had to put this article into Outline - and wondering if there might be a hearing date in the "original" article?

Or @Countem - probably loading the court site - any new dates in there yet?

TIA!

On 2/12, the defense attorney filed a notice of taking depositions from six people on 04/09. Nothing exciting, I’m afraid.
