Huckaby Entered No Plea

Friday a judge granted a motion by Deputy District Attorney, Thomas Testa to seal Cantu's autopsy and toxicology reports from the public.

The San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge, Linda Lofthus sealed the autopsy and toxicology reports for 8-year-old Sandra Cantu. Lofthus said releasing the details about the "heinous" crime would 'invade' the privacy of the victims family and may result in "great danger of public outrage."

The judge also said sealing the reports was crucial "to ensure a fair trial to both sides," with motioning her hand at nearby reporters chosen by lottery due to the mass media attention.

Huckaby, 28, who was recently transfered to a new public defender, Sam Behar, appeared somewhat disoriented when entering the crowded courtroom.

The accused killer's grandfather, Brian Lawless, grandmother Connie Lawless and a few other relatives were there to support Huckaby.

At the proceedings, Behar withdrew their earlier motion to exhume Sandra Cantu's body when learned that the county's chief medical examiner, Bennett Omalu had preserved tissue samples for the defense team to test.

Attorney Behar and Huckaby did not enter a plea and are scheduled to return on May 22nd.

Investigators searched the Washington church where Lawless was questioned in the 1980's when allegations surfaced but no charges were laid.
