SALEM, Mass. — A Sept. 10 trial date has been scheduled for Mathew Borges, the Lawrence teen accused of beheading his classmate, Lee Manuel Viloria-Paulino.

Attorneys involved in the case were in Salem Superior Court on Friday morning, although Borges, 16, was not present.

The attorneys proposed the Sept. 10 trial date, which was approved by Judge Thomas Dreschler.

Cell phone records and text messages are among the potential evidence prosecutors said they have against Borges.

Among potential evidence investigators found on Borges' cell phone was a deleted message from October 2016 in which Borges allegedly wrote, "'You and I need to discuss demons we will face when the task is done,'" according to court paperwork.

Hayden and prosecutor James Gubitose are due back in court next week to argue motions in the case. It's unclear if Borges will attend the hearing.

Really hate it when they don't give an actual date.... :gaah:

Bumping this up - wondering if anyone find any updates?

Gang expert Emmett Folgert, executive director of the Dorchester Youth Collaborative, said he is being called to testify in that case.

“I have been called by the defense to talk about the organization of gangs in general and the Latin Kings,” Folgert told the Herald yesterday.

Trial delayed again for teen charged in beheading murder 

Mathew Borges, 16, is accused of beheading Lee Manuel Viloria-Paulino, 16, and was first scheduled to go to trial on a first-degree murder charge in September. That initial trial date was moved to Nov. 5.

Then, this week, a continuance was requested in the case as Borges' defense attorneys are still awaiting requested records.


Also, defense attorneys just notified prosecutors they intend to call six expert witnesses and "the Commonwealth needs additional time to prepare," according to court records.

[...]

Attorneys involved in the case are now scheduled to meet in Salem Superior on Nov. 15 to discuss another trial date.

Teen's murder trial postponed until April

From your link

Attorneys will be back in Salem Superior Court next month discussing expert witnesses that can potentially be called at trial, however.

In court papers filed already, defense attorneys for Mathew Borges have indicated they want to call as many as six expert witnesses to testify during his trial.

A discussion on Thursday in court about a motion pertaining to the expert witnesses was continued until Dec. 5.

The trial itself is now scheduled for April 22.
