I couldn't get either of these links to work which makes me think their online court record system is down. Maybe later this week it up be updated. But the article posted above does have some dates listed.

There was a review hearing in Pima County on Tuesday, July 19, and the judge confirmed the new dates for both trials.

Clements will face a jury in Maribel’s death starting Thursday, Sept. 8. Jury selection could last at two days and the trial is scheduled to run through Friday, Sept. 30.

Clements will face a jury in Isabel’s death starting Thursday, Feb. 2, 2023. Jury selection will last at least two days and that trial could run through Friday, March 3.

Thanks! I shall wait for the times of the trials & maybe they will have his next court hearing date also.
 
Just an FYI for those that are interested looks like there will be live audio of the trial. Pima County Superior Court

Look for criminal/civil hearings. Search for Clements. It will link you to a YT feed. AUDIO only. Nothing so far, but it doesn't start for a few more minutes,

Update: And it is up. I can hear people in the background

OMG----I read the title of the article and thought his trial was delayed. once again....thank goodness they re refer ng to the previous 4 delays, and now it is supposedly on track.

Since this monster led LE to the bodies , it will be interesting to see how the defense tries to spin that.

This is Maribel's murder trial going on - not Isabel's yet...
 
A judge also will hear testimony Nov. 14 for a possible change of venue for Clements’ other murder trial, scheduled for Feb. 2 involving the death of 6-year-old Isabel Celis.

Man seeking a new trial, venue change in Tucson murder cases

Authorities say a man convicted in the first of two murder cases in Tucson is seeking a new trial. Christopher Clements was convicted Sept. 30 of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of …
yourvalley.net
 
Also from the article.

Christopher Clements was convicted Sept. 30 of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of 13-year-old Maribel Gonzalez.

He was scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday in Pima County Superior Court, but the date has been moved to Nov. 14.

Court officials also said Clements’ attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial and a motion for judgment of acquittal not withstanding the verdict.

A Nov. 7 hearing is set for both motions.

A judge also will hear testimony Nov. 14 for a possible change of venue for Clements’ other murder trial, scheduled for Feb. 2 involving the death of 6-year-old Isabel Celis.


So he will have a motions hearing on 11/14 re Isabel's case & will also be sentenced on that same day for Maribel's murder. And a motions hearing for new trial (Maribel) on 11/7/22.
