Wondering when their next court dates are?
Do you have a link? The ones I found want $$$.Joseph Daniels wants to transfer back to Dickson County
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) - The public defender for the father accused of killing 5-year-old Joe Clyde Daniels plans to file two motions this week to change venue for trial and move him back to the Dickson County Jail.
He also plans to have his client's confessions thrown out, which is has been a big evidence for prosecutors.
[.....]
In the motion, which has yet to reach circuit court, public defender Jake Lockert said his client is "being adversely affected physically and mentally by his being housed with TDOC inmates and away from his family."
The motion also stated that Daniels has lost more than 45 pounds in prison, and is mentally ill and requires medication to remain competent to stand trial. Recently, Daniels was deemed fit to stand trial after a mental health evaluation at Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute, his second mental institution since being arrested.
[.....]
Despite the confession, there is little or no physical evidence including a body, so if Lockert gets the confessions thrown out, it could be troubling for the state.
"He's [Daniels] got no clue where the little boy is," Lockert said.
Lockert said detectives coerced this confession and he'll hire an expert to show how they manipulated and confused his client.
[.....]
A hearing will be scheduled later this month to discuss the motions. Daniels is expected to go to trial in March, but Lockert says there could be delays until next summer or fall.
So... if anyone can get into Dickson County court records & could get the date for this motions hearing, it would be greatly appreciated!

Aw, poor guy doesn't like maximum security. GMAB! Where's 'lil Joe?!
IMO his "genius" brain is focused on weaseling his way out of the murder charge. By now he's aware of "no body" cases in other jurisdictions - some are successful, others are not (Delano Wilson's dad got off even with video evidence). IMO he's playing the odds.Right? And now he’s saying he’s so easily influenced. What happened to the genius IQ? It couldn’t be that he’s trying to get out of trouble or anything. I swear if they get off for this I will lose it.
Just read that David Marshburn is on his way to Tennessee. Hopefully he can bring him “home” like he did with Lucas.I got a little deja vu reading some of the posts from poor little Lucas. Some of the elements are very similar.
