GUILTY NM - Renezmae Calzada, 5, found deceased, Rio Arriba County, 8 Sept 2019 *Arrest*

[Jo in Calif]

Malcolm Torres’ trial for the alleged murder of 5-year-old Renezmae Calzada was pushed back nearly a year Tuesday when the U.S. District Court accepted a joint motion from Torres’ defense and prosecutors for a continuance due to the complexity of the case.

Jury selection, with a trial to follow immediately, has been moved from Dec. 2 this year to Oct. 19, 2020.

The Nov. 13 joint motion stated extensive interviews, medical evidence and digital evidence have been collected in the case. Prosecutors reportedly provided the defense with thousands of pages of discovery—or facts of the case—as well as multiple recordings and a modified copy of Torres’ cell phone contents including nearly 30,000 images.

The parties said they will likely need to consult medical and possibly other experts to draft reports, and will each need to collect additional evidence.

While the Office of the Medical Investigator has reportedly provided preliminary autopsy reports, the final report is not complete.

I wonder if jury selection is going forward tomorrow or if COVID has postponed things. Does anyone know how to check?

I think you have to use the Pacer lookup. And you need an account.

Stepfather of Renezmae Calzada appears in federal court for murder charge | KRQE News 13

Updated: Oct 29, 2019

"Torres appeared in Federal Court on Monday on second-degree murder charges. The case is being heard in federal court as investigators say Renezmae was killed on Pueblo land just outside of Española.

Monday in court, federal prosecutors didn’t share anything new about the case. He was simply advised of his rights and the charges he faces.

Some of Torres’ family members were also in court but declined to speak with KRQE News 13. Torres was expected back in federal court on Tuesday for a detention hearing but he waived his right to one.

He will now automatically be held until trial."

Is that date right? A year ago? Jmo

Thanks for noticing that. When I was looking for an update I used the google tool to limit the search results to only recent articles. That was one of the links the search returned and I assumed it was recent rather seeing that it was a year old.

So I just deleted my post to avoid confusing anyone.

One consolation is that he is locked up and won't be going anywhere.
The bad side is that the mother must wait to find out what happened to her little girl. The photos add another dimension to this. MOO
