Still Missing VA - Codi Bigsby, 4, last seen at dad's home, Hampton, 31 Jan 2022 *dad charged* #2

[LovesPeace2]

I can't find any MSM reference to a plea deal in the works on the abuse charges.

I can't either ,I can't find a new court date for it either . It's just frustrating at least the murder charges are moving ahead

Yep I was able to find the charges both ways but no new date for the abuse charges since the 8/25 date got cancelled. But it's just wait and see what happens next

I've seen charges dropped before. I don't know if they do that for bargaining power or what. The murder and consealing a body can be a life sentence.
You did a great job finding the information and this is accurate.

@LovesPeace2, back in July the defense asked for the child abuse/neglect charges to be separated from the murder trial and that has been granted.

The only recent MSM I found is the video below which is just announcing the Nov 6 trial date. I don't see anything about a plea anywhere. MOO

JUL 6, 2023
Cory Bigsby could face two separate trials
In a letter to the judge presiding over the case, Bigsby’s lawyer asked the judge to separate the child abuse and neglect charges from the murder charges. She stated that these charges “are two separate cases, and they should be treated as such.”

Statement by father in 4-year-old boy’s presumed death came in exchange for meeting with family, lawyer says

An attorney for Cory Jamar Bigsby is contending that officials at the Hampton Roads Regional Jail promised Bigsby a visit with his family if he agreed to provide the statement that’s now being used to prosecute him in his son’s disappearance.

That statement must be tossed from the pending murder case as being improperly obtained, lawyer Amina Matheny-Willard asserts in a motion filed Friday.

[...]

Matheny-Willard filed a motion to suppress the statement, saying her client was largely kept in isolation and wrote the Aug. 3, 2022, statement only after a promise that he would be allowed to see his family for a lunchtime visit two days later.

[...]

“It appears that the representatives of the jail told (Bigsby) that he would need to write a statement,” it contends. “The representatives at the jail then asked him what he wanted in exchange for a statement. Mr. Bigsby’s response was likely that he wanted to see his family.”

Bigsby wrote the statement Aug. 3, two days before the family’s jailhouse visit. The Hardee’s luncheon was “seemingly … a tit-for-tat so that he would give his captors what they wanted,” the motion contends.

Cory Bigsby's defense attorney files motion to throw out statement he allegedly wrote in jail

Bigsby's defense attorney says he wrote a statement, and two days later jail staff allowed his family in for a lunchtime visit.

www.13newsnow.com

[...]

In court documents, Matheny-Willard said jail leaders contacted her on July 24, 2022, expressing concern for Bigsby’s mental health. She said they wanted to arrange a Hardee’s luncheon.

Then, on or around August 3, she said Bigsby wrote a statement, and two days later jail staff allowed his family in for a lunchtime visit.

In the paperwork, Matheny-Willard writes there is a body camera video showing a deputy taking a pen and paper to Bigsby. But she said there is no evidence of what happened before that recording.

[...]

Bigsby remains out of jail on bond.

A judge will hear the defense’s motion to suppress Bigsby’s statement on October 31. The murder trial is set for November 6.

When Bigsby allegedly wrote this statement in August 2022, he only faced child neglect charges unrelated to Codi’s disappearance. A grand jury indicted him on murder charges for his son’s death in June of this year.

So she wants his statements from when Codi went missing thrown out and also now wants a statement Cory wrote in August of 2022 well after he was finally mirandized because "jailers made him do it".

give a statement once without Miranda shame on LE, give another written statement once you have counsel, shame on you. MOO

Boy would I love to know what that statement says.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

“[T]hese statements were obtained in violation of Mr. Bigsby’s Fourth (4th), Fifth (5th), Sixth (6th), and Fourteenth (14th) Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 1 Section 10 of the Constitution of Virginia…” it reads.

Matheny-Willard also alleges that Bigsby told investigators he was tired and wanted to end the questioning more than 20 times

Pretrial motions give glimpse into Bigsby defense

Bigsby’s attorney submitted a motion seeking to block presentation of any statements he made while in police custody.

Cory Bigsby's defense team files motion ahead of trial, asking judge to strike prosecution's witnesses.
a newly filed motion in Hampton Circuit Court, his attorney, Amina Matheny-Willard, said the Hampton Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office didn’t give them a witness list on time.

Because of that, Matheny-Willard said Judge James Hawks shouldn't allow the prosecution's witnesses on the stand.

 

[LovesPeace2]

[LovesPeace2]

HAMPTON, Va. — The trial for Cory Bigsby, the Hampton man accused of killing his 4-year-old son, has been postponed.

The delay happened during a Tuesday morning pre-trial hearing for Bigsby, who is facing charges of murder and concealment of a body in the death of son Codi, who was reported missing in January 2022.

The trial was originally set to begin November 6, but Bigsby's defense attorney, Amina Matheny-Willard, said she hasn't completed a review of the prosecution's discovery in this case.
While Hampton Circuit Court Judge James Hawks agreed to move the trial, he said he didn't know why Bigsby's defense didn't complete their review, despite having "ample time to do so." Hampton Commonwealth’s Attorney Anton Bell told Hawks he wasn't informed the defense would ask to move the trial.
Murder trial for Cory Bigsby postponed, defense says more time needed to prepare

next Wednesday is a hearing to hear defense motions and pick new trial dates.

BBM She had ample time and the judge made sure she knows it even as he allowed the delay. Sick of this woman. Where is Codi Bigdby Amina? Ask your client, he knows.
