3/17/22 Update: Status conference hearing for murder & the review hearing for escape attempt have been moved to 4/14/22 @ 3pm. 3/17/22 Update: Now status conference hearing for murder & the review hearing for escape attempt have been moved to 4/21/22 @ 1:30pm.
4/21/22 Update: Stauch needs more time for medical professionals to complete a mental health evaluation, causing another delay in her trial. Evaluators found Stauch competent to stand trial twice, which means medical professionals believe she is aware of what's going on in trial & capable of assisting her attorneys with her defense. However, her attorneys are now alleging that she was not capable of understanding what was going on at the time of the murder. In court Thursday, Stauch's attorneys communicated to Judge Gregory Werner that those evaluators need more time to complete their report, possibly through May. Stauch's court-appointed defense counsel, Josh Tolini, told Judge Werner that he's planning to go to South Carolina next week to get access to some records for her evaluation. It appears the medical professionals want to complete a follow-up interview with Stauch after they receive access to those records. Stauch's next court appearance is scheduled for 6/9/22, to give evaluators enough time to complete their reports.
