Welcome to Pretty Lies and Alibis. Let's seek the truth and travel the long road to justice together.

What's you know, alibiers. Welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis. I'm Gigi. It's going to be a quick one, but I wanted to update you on what happened at the Corey Richens hearing that happened earlier? Not a whole lot, but let's jump in.

First off, there is going to be a two-day evidentiary hearing next week, January 7th, and the 8th.

The court's going to review evidence and motions for the upcoming trial. The judge said unless the defense

specifically asked for witnesses to be

voir-deered live in advance before trial, the judge will make decisions based on the papers that have

already been submitted or a combination of their briefs and oral arguments. Defense attorney

Lewis said from their motion to exclude a witness, her understanding is they

would be hearing from two witnesses, Molly Amund, who is a defense witness and Brittany Fox,

who is a state witness, on a profiling issue. Essentially, the defense is questioning the scientific

methodology of a state's witness. The judge said that would happen on

the 7th, and those witnesses can appear remotely. As of December 30th, they have sent out 1,486 jury

questionnaires that have been completed in Summit County, and also an additional 345 summons worsened out,

but those people did not respond. So they'll be getting reminders either today or Monday with

a deadline to finish by the end of next week. The defense says a few days ago, the state amended

their exhibit list to include 20 to 30 new exhibits. The defense

anticipates at least a few of those will be objected to, and they fall in line with other

objections she's made in a motion in limine. She said it may be they can just add those new

objections into the argument because it's the same nature of the argument that they're

already going to have on January 8th. The judge said he assumes there'll be more of those,

but he says there's eight or more of you and one of me. So his limiting factor is to be making

timely rulings. He said maybe the defense could see what comes from the two-day evidentiary
