What you know, Alibyers, we had a big day in the case of the state of Utah versus Corey Richens.

I don't think the hearing has been posted online yet, but I wanted to bring you the latest.

It was a status hearing day as well as the initial appearance for Corey.

That initial appearance today was for those 26 new charges filed back in June and those related to mortgage fraud

and other financial crimes. Attorneys Kathy Nestor, Wendy Lewis, and Alex Ramos have been

assigned as her attorneys for this new case in addition to representing her in the case for the

aggravated murder of her husband Eric Richens. But there is a little hitch.

The assignment is currently temporary because the defense team has not finalized the contract

with the county manager for Summit County.

And I posted earlier this week that Summit County is on the hook for $1 million for this case.

Judge Morazik promised no substantial hearings until after the

conclusion of the murder case. Now, for the aggravated murder case, there was a lot of planning today

for the upcoming trial, which is scheduled for February. There were some discussions around

upcoming hearings in early January, and those will revolve around the motions

in Lemony, as well as the defense challenging expert witnesses being offered by the state.

Also, deadlines for jury instructions and just other motion work.

Don't expect to hear too much about the case from public filings.

The defense is filing most things under

seal, and Judge Morazic is okay with that, given how close the trial is. So if that entire hearing

is posted online, I'll do a more detailed breakdown. I also have a new filing from today,

as well as some previous filings from the past few weeks that I'm going to go over this weekend. Hope you guys have a new filing from today, as well as some previous filings from the past few weeks

that I'm going to go over this weekend.
