• Text messages dispute pregnancy date in kidnapping-murder case of ex-girlfriend, attorneys say (wlbt.com) — A high-profile capital murder case tied to the Canton Nissan plant is moving forward as defense attorneys push for medical and autopsy records they say could undercut the charge involving an unborn child. They argue newly obtained text messages suggest the pregnancy ended before the date listed in the indictment, which could affect whether prosecutors can seek the death penalty. A hearing on the records request has not yet been set.
