I see where the bond hearing was set on 11/7 for 11/21 but nothing about it after that. The only document posted from the 11/21 hearing was the one setting pre-trial and trial dates. MOO

11/7/24 Docket update: Pass slip. 11/14/24 Docket update: Appeal Court Notice; opinion issued. Appeal-opinion. Next bond hearing on 11/21/24 @ 8am before Judge Nancy Mulder.
11/21/24 Update: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday reversed a lower court ruling that would have suppressed evidence in a Dallas County man’s capital murder case. The ruling restores statements Sedrick Johnson made to law enforcement incriminating himself in the death of an 18-month-old boy who was reported missing. Johnson had asked for a lawyer but ultimately waived his right to counsel before telling police he put the child’s body in a dumpster. “The question before us today is whether the request for counsel before Miranda warnings invoked Miranda protections so as to bar police-initiated interrogation after Miranda warnings were later given,” Presiding Judge Sharon Keller wrote in a decision joined by Judges Barbara Hervey, Mary Lou Keel, Jesse McClure III, Michelle Slaughter & Kevin Yeary. “In line with precedent from the United States Supreme Court, we answer that question ‘no,’” Keller wrote. “The right to counsel under Miranda cannot be invoked anticipatorily. The police were allowed to seek to question [Johnson] after giving him Miranda warnings for the first time. ”Next pretrial hearing on 5/8/25 @ 9:30am & trial set to begin on 6/9/25 @ 9:30am.
*Chrystal Nicole Jackson (27/now 32) “Aunt” arrested (7/18/19) & charged (7/22/19) with child abandonment & endangerment. Held on $35K bond. 11/7/19: felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor & sentence is probation.
