The preliminary hearing was moved to 2/27/2019. It was requested by the defense.

There will be a status hearing on 2/12/2019. I think it is to determine if she should be put in protective custody in a different prison.

Looking at the court summary, it looks like the formal arraignment did happen. I checked local news and didn't see any coverage of it.

She is scheduled for a pre-trial conference on 4/11/2019. Her court of common pleas docket is looking pretty empty still, so there's no details to hint at what might happen at the conference yet.

 

[Niner]

Thank you lsv!
