I "think" the 6/29 hearing was rescheduled on 7/2, but that is NOT the date of the hearing. They are kind of slow on updating this site. No update for Tanya.

Thanks, Niner.

At least they are still in jail. I wish I could know that Janell’s sister is safe.

Thanks, Niner.

I wish they were in prison, not jail. I am feeling my inner vigilante come out, hard to keep her calm in the face of such atrocities.

 

[Niner]

Only change for Leon. Don't know if it means there "was" a hearing on 8/17 or it is just a "notice" that a hearing will be scheduled.... and of course they don't give a hearing date.

I'm so confused on why this is taking forever...

 

[Niner]

Looks like Leon was in court on Friday...

Case against suspect in Augusta teen's disappearance, death stalled

Oct. 22, 2021

More than four years after an Augusta teen's disappearance spurred months of community-wide searches, the man investigators contend is responsible for her disappearance and death is still no closer to a trial.

Friday in Richmond County Superior Court, Leon Tripp, 42, was back in a courtroom where he faces a possible death penalty trial in the slaying of LaTania "Janell" Carwell whose mother reported her missing the morning of her 16th birthday, April 17, 2017.
[.....]
On Friday, Chief Judge Daniel J. Craig, who inherited the case from a judge who retired in 2017, met Tripp's newly assigned attorneys, the third set of attorneys assigned to his case since his indictment in March 2018.

New lead attorney Adam Levin of the Georgia Capital Defender Office in Athens, told, that he only just received Tripp's case file two days earlier. Levin promised the judge that delay would not be a defense tactic.

Craig set the next hearing date for Dec. 14 and told attorneys to be prepared to present all motions then. After he has ruled on the motions and given the attorneys time to raise any subsequent issues, Craig said he will set a trial date.

Tanya Tripp's case is separate from her husband's. Both are awaiting trial in jail.



No articles on Tanya's hearing on 10/14....
