Can anyone interpret that info in above post? Is that another GJ indictment just in the past couple days? Was the previous GJ indictment for all three charges or were any of them not brought by the GJ? Could this be a new charge?

Going to dig to confirm what the GJ already indicted on.

ETA: never mind. Just realized that's Tammi GJ indictment. The parties (001 and 002) tell you whether the item is for Elizabeth or Tammi.
 
They are scheduled to appear for separate hearings in Maricopa County Superior Court on Tuesday

Snip

Johnson’s attorney, Vanessa Smith, who works for the Maricopa County Public Defender’s Office, has filed a motion with the court to ban any media coverage of the court proceedings, arguing that it would infringe on Johnson’s right to a fair trial and jeopardize her safety.

Repeated requests for interviews with Smith and her lawyer in recent weeks were declined. Requests for jailhouse interviews with Johnson also were denied.

In the ongoing investigation, authorities have compiled 1,575 pages of discovery and 52 CDs of recorded interviews, according to Maricopa County Superior Court documents.

Johnson has been charged with kidnapping, child abuse, custodial interference and conspiracy to commit custodial interference. She is being held in a Maricopa County jail on a $1.1 million cash bond.

Why would they ask for DNA testing? Is that standard procedure in case like this or would they need it for a specific reason-like to match it with evidence they currently have?

That would be a good question for the Legal Questions thread. I don't know if they have to have something to match it to before they can ask for it, or if they can request it "just in case".

I'm thinking they might have found something at the landfill they questioned and needed DNA to check against and that might form the justification for the request. But I don't know the fine points of the law on the orders for DNA tests.
 
Could it be for DNA testing on the ring?...another poster on the ring thread questioned if LE had tested the ring for DNA to see who else may have handled or worn it.
 
March 9 at 9:30am oral arugment Defense motion for complex case

http://www.courtminutes.maricopa.gov/docs/Criminal/032010/m4119602.pdf

The initial oral argument is this morning at 9:30am in Maricopa County court. The judge is Judge Ryan.

To find out what time the hearing will be in your time zone, check this website. I already have it set for 9:30am in AZ, so just look for a city in your time zone to see what time it will be for you:
http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/f...hour=9&min=30&sec=0&p1=197&continent=namerica

That's a very handy website to bookmark because not only can you find times in different time zones, you can also find things like what the weather was on a certain date and time in a certain city, what time sunrise or sunset was, etc. Very handy for working on cases, as well as checking what time hearings and pressers are in your own time zone.

You can go to this website to look up information about Elizabeth's case. Just click any of the three links, put in Elizabeth's name or the case number, and the information will come up:
http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CriminalCourtCases/index.asp

Make sure you have the right Elizabeth Johnson - there's more than one. Elizabeth Joanne Johnson - DOB: 7/24/1986.
