Recent name change due to support for JUSTICE & Marano’s charges being downgraded!!!

I have not found any MSM articles mentioning the downgrade in charges for Marano & the FB page has a 1/24/23 hearing for all of them.
That is not what the court site says - plus there are no other motions after 1/18/23 of any downgrade.

Are you finding any articles about this?

Wonder what happened with Lisa Dykes? you may ask?

State's motion to sever cases:

and a Motion for Continuance-granted for Dykes:

So, I answered you but it got deleted bc it can’t be pics without details….
I listened today for hours!! No charges were lowered for Nina AND I think the state presented solid documented evidence. The judge dismissed the jury panel and reset the case for Jan 30th the state entered 399 pieces of evidence & I think the state is still waiting on mitochondrial info on the hair they recovered in the Audi Trunk!!! I saw Nina crossing her arms (defiance) many times!
Charges were NOT reduced after today I don’t think charges will be reduced either. Ya never know but my 2 cents after watching the livestream for 7 hours!!!

I take it no jury was selected yet? And thanks for the next date as the court site still just has yesterday's date.

I did find this for Marano -
Motion to list State's witnesses:

Nothing new on Dykes though.

Dallas police detective fails to turn over hundreds of pieces of evidence in high-profile murder case

Prosecutors said they received a thumb drive over the weekend with more than 300 pictures, audio recordings and body camera video they had never seen.

www.wfaa.com

[...]

Nina Marano is one of three people charged in this case and her trial was supposed to begin Monday.

But the trial was delayed after it was discovered Dallas Police detectives had not turned over all the evidence in the case.

Prosecutors said they received a thumb drive over the weekend from the lead detective with more than 300 pictures, audio recordings and body camera video they had never seen.

[...]

Prosecutors said in court they repeatedly asked Dallas Police for the evidence – including body camera footage of searches and interviews with witnesses. Prosecutors say they are still missing a video from the search of a home, and were told the lead detective would bring the video to them Monday morning, but they say they never received it.

Botello’s family says they don’t like the delay but are willing to wait if it means a stronger case.

“It doesn’t matter how long we have to wait or how many times we have to come here, what we want is justice,” said EV, Botello’s mother.

[...]

Meanwhile, Givens has reset the trial for March.

CB's instagram linked in the media discussion thread had posts from Sept 2022 - I don't currently have the time to fill myself in on whether or not he was in prison at that point, could someone tell me? I could've sworn he was, so I am really confused

I can not access the article that was linked. I see they reset the trial to March. Is that Marano AND Dykes? And does it give a date in March?
I do have Beltran's trial starting on 3/27/23.
TIA!

None of the three have been tried yet, so not in prison, but all are in jail awaiting trial. See arrest dates below. I'm also linking the media thread which is a quick way to get caught up. In this case, just a two-page read.

They're referring to Marano's trial and don't give a specific date in March. Dyke's trial may also be in March but it doesn't really say. MOO

Thank you! I hate these EU rules on not being able to access some articles over in the U.S.
And okay on the trial date for Marano & Dykes.
