Since July 28, prosecutors and defense attorneys have sat for an omnibus hearing designed to address all motions filed in the case of USA v Richardson Dangleben Jr. Dangleben was arrested July 4, 2023, after an armed confrontation with Phipps in Hospital Ground. The hearing is scheduled to resume on Monday with testimony by potential expert witnesses, and continue through at least Tuesday.
One expert witness has already been excluded, based on proceedings in last week’s hearing.
Jury selection is set to begin Oct. 6 in District Court.
