Father of Crocker children back in court for first time in months

One of the people charged in the deaths of a teenage brother and sister buried in their Effingham County backyard was back in court Friday.

www.wtoc.com

June 11, 2022

EFFINGHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - One of the people charged in the deaths of a teenage brother and sister buried in their Effingham County backyard was back in court Friday.

This December will mark four years since the bodies of Mary Crocker and her brother Elwyn Crocker Jr. were found in the backyard of their family home.
[.....]
State-appointed attorneys for Elwyn Crocker, Sr. filed a new batch of pre-trial motions Friday in Effingham County Superior Court.

The presiding judge, Chief Judge F. Gates Peed, acknowledged this is the first time back in the courtroom addressing pre-trial motions since last fall. The capital murder case has been stalled by the pandemic, as well as a motion to recuse Judge Peed that was ultimately denied.

Capital defenders for Elwyn Crocker, Sr. have entered 30 pre-trial motions as of Friday, addressing issues ranging from how discovery and evidence will be shared by the state, to whether or not the death penalty should even be considered as punishment in this case.

As of right now, there will be 40 pre-trial motions considered by the judge on behalf of Elwyn Crocker, Sr., though the clerk of superior court says that number could change.

The judge will make rulings on all the pre-trial motions heard Friday at a later date.

As for the other two defendants, Kim Wright and Mark Wright, no dates have been set yet for their next appearance in court.

Boy - I'll say - a TON of motions..

Over 60 pre-trial motions filed in Elwyn Crocker, Sr. case

Elwyn Crocker, Sr. will be in an Effingham County courtroom Friday morning for a status hearing.

www.wtoc.com

August 12, 2022

EFFINGHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - Elwyn Crocker, Sr. was in an Effingham County courtroom Friday morning for a status hearing.

A judge heard the latest batch of what’s become a pile of more than 60 pre-trial motions filed on behalf of Elwyn Crocker Sr. alone. He was in the courtroom as all of those were being considered.

New requests from Elwyn Crocker, Sr.’s lawyers were still coming in Friday morning. The ones the judge heard today dealt with things like making sure the defense knows about all the evidence the state might use against Crocker.

There are a handful of motions that have been skipped, at least for now, because they will come up when Crocker’s two co-defendants, Kim Wright and Mark Anthony Wright, are also in the courtroom. Me: that hearing is on 10/28/22

Friday, the judge set a date at the end of the October to bring the other defendants in for a joint hearing, but one of the defense attorneys explained why it might take longer than one to get through all the work that’s left to do.
