Today's hearing is set for Melissa "the rapist, child killer" to enter a plea.There has been some speculation as to her public defender Sam Behar making a request for a speedy trial as well. California is known for having a slow forensics lab and by pushing this to trial ASAP attorneys feel Behar could eliminate some of the charges and testimoney by expert witnesses from the state.
Due to the gag order from the judge most news at this point is pure guess work and speculation, but if it was the defense's game plan to move forward quickly with the murder, rape charges Huckaby was facing against 8 year old Sandra Cantu, then the state just threw a little wrench in that plan with some additional charges.
Prosecutors on Thursday filed three additional felony counts against Melissa Huckaby, charging her with poisoning two people, including a 7-year-old girl and an adult man.
The new complaint charges Huckaby with a single count of child endangerment and two felony counts of furnishing a harmful substance, which is not identified in the document.
In both counts of alleged poisoning, the complaint says Huckaby "did willfully and unlawfully mingle a harmful substance with food or drink with the intent that (it) be taken by a human being."
