Found Deceased GA - LaTania 'Janell' Carwell, 16, Augusta, 17 April 2017 *mom & stepdad arrested*

[Keytonmom]

for Leon - the only new thing on court site is:

11/6/2018 NOTICE OF SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL

and nothing new for Tanya.....

Thank you. Lord this case is taking so long to go to court.

 

[Keytonmom]

Just wondering if they posted new court dates or any updates on the case

 

[Keytonmom]

Any updates

Is Leon going to throw Tanya under the bus? I've always wondered if it was actually 'mom' that lashed out and killed this sweet girl. Jealousy and all that?

I think that is exactly what happened. because mom was jealous of her husbands attn. I also suspected she was pregnant. from Leon.

Sorry didn't see these updates on this thread - I'm thinking I am NOT getting all notices for my "Watched Threads" for some reason....

No updates on Leon - BUT!! looks like Tanya's case is going to trial next week!

I messaged a reporter , Kelly Wiley WRDW, who had updated it previously. last April. Maybe she will reply...

 

[katydid23]

WOW, she got right back to me:


Hey Kay! From what I understand the trial did not start last week. Tanya Tripps case is on a long list of cases up for jury trial. But from what I understand, she’s not up yet. Hopefully, I’ll have more information for you soon!


I said, maybe we are mistaken


she replied:

I believe so. I’ve checked with the District Attorney and I’ve been told it has not started.

 

[Niner]

Thanks a bunch for checking this out Katdid!
