SUMMARY: Eight months after a federal judge authorized a new court for the Capitol Complex Improvement District, the court has yet to be established. House Bill 1020 granted Capitol Police jurisdiction over a significant area and instructed Chief Justice Michael Randolph to appoint judges for the cases brought by the Capitol Police. Justice Randolph stated he cannot appoint judges until a courtroom is available, expressing optimism for the future once a building is secured. The old Wright and Ferguson Funeral Home is designated to become the new courtroom and Capitol Police headquarters, while a temporary court setup is in progress.

SUMMARY: Doctor Andrew Clark testified in the defense case, diagnosing the accused, Greg, with Bipolar II disorder, potentially hereditary due to her father’s similar diagnosis. Clark revealed Greg had experienced auditory hallucinations since childhood, describing a male voice that provided elitist affirmations. On the day of the murder, Greg claimed her mind went blank after walking her dogs. Three additional witnesses, including a close friend, corroborated her reports of hearing voices pre- and post-murder. The prosecution is set to present more witnesses, including their own psychiatric expert, as the trial continues, with possible sentencing of 20 years to life for Greg if convicted.
