Ah! Thanks for the explanation!

Sorry - but I get Access Denied on the vinelink url. Could you maybe post what it says on there? TIA!
And thank you for that info that he had a motions hearing on 8/29/22 - I shall correct my notes.

The link still worked for me. Odd. Anyway, all it says is that he remains incarcerated and states 8/29/22 was a motions hearing in De Soto Parish Court.

Okay thank you!
I can not access it because I am in Europe. I could when I lived in the U.S. though. Quite a few court sites I can not access over here. That is why I asked.

Convicted DeSoto killer denied appeal, new trial date set

MANSFIELD, La. – The Louisiana Supreme Court last week chose not to hear an appeal filed by a DeSoto Parish man previously convicted and sentenced to death for killing a 12-year-old Stonewall child.

The Supreme Court denied a writ application from Brian Horn, meaning the justices did not even take a look at it.

At issue were motions filed by Horn’s defense attorneys alleging the DeSoto District Attorney’s Office did not give them adequate notice of what crimes Horn was being charged with.
[.....]
Horn, 46, of Keachi, was convicted and sentenced to death in 2014 in the March 2010 death of Justin Bloxom. He sat on death row at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola until the fall of 2018, when the Louisiana Supreme Court overturned his conviction and death sentence because of precedent set by another Louisiana case. In both cases, the defendants accused their attorneys of conceding their guilt before the juries without their approval. But the panel still said there was sufficient evidence to find Horn guilty.

A DeSoto grand jury indicted him on the same charges in 2019. Then a superseding indictment was returned in 2021.
[.....]
DeSoto District Judge Amy Burford McCartney recently set a trial date for Horn on June 19, 2023. The jury will be picked from Vernon Parish and transported to DeSoto for the trial proceedings.

Hall said there is one other issue pending appeal to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal. The defense is challenging the state’s plan to introduce evidence of Horn’s other crimes. Hall has asked for a hearing on the issue.

Horn is a twice-convicted sex offender, having served time in a Missouri prison for felony sexual assault. Still, he was able to get a job as a taxicab driver in Shreveport.

@wendybtn - was wondering if there might be that hearing date that the defense lawyer asked for in the court site yet?

TIA!

 

[wendybtn]

No new motion hearings scheduled as of now. Still in custody, thankfully. Thanks for posting that article!

Thanks for checking. I will come back next week - maybe something will be updated. I figure the defense wants a hearing soon.
