The woman charged in the death of 5-year-old Samuel Olson was supposed to go before a judge Thursday morning. The hearing did not happen, and the judge was furious.
(...)
The latest update in this case is that there is a mountain of evidence that the defense team now has to sift through.

11/5/21 Update: Next motions hearing on 3/10/22 for all charges. 3/10/22 Update: Balboa was supposed to go before a judge Thursday morning. The hearing did not happen & the judge was furious. The latest update in this case is that there is a mountain of evidence that the defense team now has to sift through. The team (defense attorney Anthony Osso) said there is about a terabyte of information, with things like cellphone records, body camera footage, GPS location & other information from the investigation. The defense needs time to go through it all so they can start to build their case & also find the experts they need to analyze all the information. Judge Hazel Jones is asking if any more evidence may be handed over because she is trying to set a date for the next court hearing to keep things moving along. Family assault charge: Next attorney consultation hearing on 3/23/22 & for murder/tampering charge: Next motions hearing on 4/5/22.
*Benjamin D. Rivera (27/now 28) – Motions hearing on 5/11/22.
