[...]Marisela Botello murder trial: Suspect Lisa Dykes denies stabbing Seattle woman
Lisa Dykes, the Dallas woman accused of killing 23-year-old Marisela Botello in a jealous rage, took the stand in her own defense Tuesday.www.fox4news.com
On the stand, Dykes says Beltran, a rapper, was an investment and that the two were never intimate.
[...]
Dykes denied stabbing Botello, saying she did not come in contact with the 23-year-old and wasn't aware of any issues until the FBI called her. The murder suspect claimed she wasn't even home at the time of the stabbing.
[...]
Dykes claims she went with Marano, who is an attorney, to a FedEx distribution center in Hutchins that morning to try and locate some legal documents Marano needed.
The prosecution maintains the two women were instead dumping Botello's body in nearby Wilmer.
[...]
Dykes said the package wasn't there, so they went back home. She also said that Beltran was a violent person who used to beat his dog and carried a gun at all times, contradicting previous witnesses who described Beltran as someone who avoided conflict.
[...]
"We cut the monitors off because we both felt very much persecuted in this case," Dykes said. "I did nothing but work and raise children all my life. Why would I even be suspected in this?"
[...]
The prosecution will continue its cross-examination of Lisa Dykes on Wednesday.

Was wondering if anyone reading here can access this court site:
courtsportal.dallascounty.org
That is the new Dallas County court site that I have not been able to get into.
I was wondering IF Marano had another hearing before her trial on 2/20/24?
Looking for F-2175652 Tampering. Her murder case F-2175475 was dismissed...
TIA if anyone can help!
