Judge Rules Confession Will Be Heard in Trial of Murdered Ardmore Model
March 11, 2019
"Norristown, PA — A Montgomery County judge ruled on March 8 that the alleged confession of the man accused of murdering Ardmore model Christina Carlin-Kraft will be heard by a jury at trial later this year.
Judge William R. Carpenter denied accused killer Jonathan Wesley Harris' request to suppress an alleged statement he gave to police detectives on August 29, 2018, in which Harris allegedly admitted to killing Carlin-Kraft in her home on August 22, 2018.
In this alleged statement, Harris reportedly says he killed Carlin-Kraft, 36, in what he suggested was a dispute over sex and cocaine. After his arrest, Harris allegedly told detectives that she thought having sex was sufficient for payment for the cocaine she acquired from Harris, but he still wanted the cash....
Since being arrested and charged, Harris has been held without bail. His hearing is tentatively scheduled to begin on May 6...."

Trial Begins for Man Accused of Killing Main Line Model
The jury was picked today, and they gave their opening statements. The video is more informative than the article. Based on the defense's opening statement, Harris is claiming to not remember what happened. Christina's boyfriend and police have already testified. According to police, Harris attempted to cover the body with blankets, which shows that he did know that Christina was dead. One of Harris' friends is expected to testify that Harris confessed to him.
Melton's trial did not happen yet. He's on the schedule for a pre-trial conference on 6/18. He has waived his right to a prompt trial. From what I understand, the pre-trial conference was automatically scheduled for 60 days after it was supposed to take place originally.
