Hearing will reveal evidence against Jesse Matthew in Hannah Graham murder
By Neal Augenstein
January 10, 2016

WASHINGTON — Despite extensive media coverage of the search and arrest of Jesse Matthew for the September 2014 kidnap and murder of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, very little is known about the prosecution’s case against Matthew.

New details will likely be revealed Monday, in a day-long pretrial motions hearing, in which 14 witnesses have been subpoenaed to testify.

[...]

In the months since Matthew’s arrest and eventual indictment for capital murder, prosecutors and the defense have gone to great pains to guard details of evidence gathered by investigators.

Police believe Matthew met Graham, while she was walking in downtown Charlottesville, after an evening of drinking. Surveillance video from 1:08 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 13 depicted Matthew and Graham walking together, minutes after he first observed her walking alone.

Jesse Matthew to appear in court in Graham capital murder case

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The Charlottesville man charged with the abduction and slaying of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham is scheduled to appear in court Monday with a new prosecutor leading the case.

Monday’s appearance for Jesse L. Matthew Jr., who faces the possibility of the death penalty on charges related to Graham’s disappearance and death in September 2014, will be the first under Robert N. Tracci, who defeated two-term incumbent Denise Lunsford in the November election for Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney.

[...]

The proceedings for the Graham case are scheduled to begin Monday at 9:30 a.m. in Albemarle County Circuit Court, with judge Cheryl V. Higgins presiding.
 
Is there any way we can follow this hearing? TIA
 
Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. appeared in Albemarle Circuit Court for a motions hearing around 9:30 a.m. Monday.

That search warrant was for #jessematthew's apartment. His attorney says police didn't have enough evidence to merit the warrant.

Judge grants request for hearing on legality of search warrant used on #JesseMatthew's apartment. - http://www.newsplex.com/home/headli...utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_Newsplex …
 
So is the hearing still going on? Or done for today? If they decide the search warrant wasn't legal, I will vomit.
 
Well...if a blood hound marks the spot in front of JM's door, that would appear to be a good reason for an affidavit. The affidavits are under seal so we don't know what reasons LE gave at the time. I'm going to go out on a limb a state the judge granted the request to show good faith toward a fair trial. BUT the defense will not be able to "prove" that anything was omitted. JMO and I cannot wait for this to proceed.
