Erie Judge Denies Defense Motion In Nikkia Sawyer Case
December 19, 2012
An
Back in June of 2011... Nikkia Sawyer's
mother found her 27 year old daughter bound, gagged, and stabbed 50 times in
the chest and the face in her bedroom at highpoint towers...
31
year old James Duncan was arrested for the murder...
District
Attorney Jack Daneri tells us the brutality of the crime led them to seek the
death penalty...
But
the Defense Attorney, Jamie Mead tells us evidence is missing, and could
possibly point to a different suspect...that's why mead filed a motion
yesterday to have those charges dismissed...
But
this morning, the judge denied mead's motion, that Daneri had previously
opposed...Mead tells us he filed a motion to continue the case, which will be postponed
from its original February date.
