Leon Circuit Judge James C. Hankinson set an April 13 trial date for Katherine Magbanua, whose charges in the murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel ended in mistrial earlier this month.
Magbanua, wearing a blue Leon County Detention Center jumpsuit, appeared in the courtroom with her attorneys, Chris DeCoste and Tara Kawass. Hankinson asked about her legal representation moving forward; DeCoste said he and Kawass intend to continue defending her.

This is one of those child cases that are hard to read about. However, for some reason it is not getting much MSM coverage and little from Youtubers as well, I am unsure why since it certainly has, sadly, the elements to make it major news. It is not a new case but again, it is not getting a whole lot of coverage.
This article today is not the start of the case by any means. It does give a bit of a recap though. Read to the ending, the end says plenty about the two charged just with those remarks...

A man accused of murdering a Salem mother and her toddler son is fighting for the dismissal of an aggravated murder charge — a change that would make him no longer eligible for the death penalty.
On Friday in Yamhill County Circuit Court, attorneys for Michael John Wolfe, 52, argued for dismissing the aggravated murder charge Wolfe faces for allegedly murdering 3-year-old William "Billy" Fretwell, his biological son.
One of the two aggravated murder charges Wolfe initially faced after Karissa Fretwell, 25, and Billy went missing in May was already reduced after a new law drastically narrowing the use of the death penalty went into effect in September.
Michael Wolfe, 52, appears in court as his attorneys argue for dismissing an...

I haven't done a case thread in a long, long time so an admin may need to fix/change this or move its spot if incorrect.
This is a case I for one have never heard of. This starts out with the initial story, some arrests last year and now more arrests so watch the 15 minutes or so throughout to see what happened then and is happening now.
This is before Covid and yet another story of how kids were claimed to be elsewhere and more. Not only is the mother and her girlfriend charged but now the girlfriend's mother and father as well who they were living with. I don't know how a case like this is basically unheard of. Of course the investigation I guess was ongoing but still why is there not news now???
