GA - Mary & Elwyn Crocker Jr, both 14, starved, beaten & buried, Effingham Cnty, 20 Dec 2018 Arrests
6/15/21 Update: Notice of status hearing on 7/15/21. 7/13/21: Order-Media Order for WTOC-TV on 7/15/21.
7/15/21 Update: A schedule of when each defendant’s pretrial motions will be considered. All defendants have filed a number of motions in recent months. Elwyn Crocker has filed 40. Kim Wright has filed 107. Mark Anthony Wright has filed 79. Beginning 8/27/21, the presiding judge will hear motions that attorneys weren’t able to resolve amongst themselves. Elwyn Crocker’s will be first beginning at the end of August, then from that point on every four weeks the judge will meet with prosecutors & defense attorneys to work through the motion list. All of this is expected though, especially given the amount of discovery & overall magnitude of the case. Judge Gates Peed gave his estimation in court Thursday of when a trial could begin. “I would like to be in a position to have a jury in place in the first quarter of 2022. Like I said, that might be overly optimistic, or it might not be,” said Judge Peed. The judge asked the counsel to have each defendant also meet with the State in the coming weeks to hash out what motions truly need to be brought to the court for a hearing. He wants a comprehensive list made by July 30. The first motions hearing for Elwyn is scheduled to take place on 8/27/21 except for Motions #8-10. The court wants to begin with the motions filed by Elwyn Crocker Sr. Crocker will be tried first. Attorneys for Elwyn: Jerilyn Bell & Mary Dayton. Kim's attorneys: Nathaniel Studelskia & Christina Rudy. Mark's attorneys: Allan R. Sincox & Melinda Rayls. Brian Deal, ADA & Matthew Breedon, ADA present.

OrderThird scheduling Order & notice of hearing. 8/18/21: Motion #41: Status of motions & motion to continue (corrected) & Supplemental Motion to continue all filed by Jerilyn Bell.
