Summary
Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to break down the seven-month delay in the Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial and what it reveals about the prosecution's case — or lack of one.
Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock in Carroll County, Georgia. The couple was found shot in their bed on February 20th, 2025. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911. Five months later, she was arrested after the Carroll County Sheriff's Office announced they had "mountains of evidence" against her.
The trial was scheduled for January 5th, 2026. It didn't happen. Judge Dustin Hightower pushed the case to August 3rd, 2026 after prosecutors said they needed time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and potentially hire their own expert. Back in December, the judge specifically told the state to let him know if they needed a continuance. He anticipated this.
Here's where it gets interesting. The defense's earlier motion for continuance — citing incomplete discovery — was denied. The court found the state was in compliance. But when the prosecution needed more time, they got seven months without issue.
Bob Motta examines what this delay signals. No murder weapon has been produced. No forensic evidence linking Sarah to the killings has been publicly disclosed. No firearm was found at the scene. The prosecution has made claims about cameras being disabled before the shooting — but those remain unproven allegations. We also discuss the social media narrative around this case and whether a teenager's TikTok activity should be treated as evidence of murder.
