Unless a judge unseals search warrants connected to the disappearance of Ryann B. Crow, the gathering evidence in the case against her husband will not be revealed until July.
Judge Russell Scott scheduled a multi-day preliminary hearing to begin July 1 in the potential capital murder case against Jesse Crow. The 33-year-old Prunedale man is charged with shooting his wife for financial gain. She has not been seen since Jan. 30.
The judge has not yet ruled on requests filed in March by The Herald and other media outlets to unseal a number of search warrants and probable-cause affidavits that were filed in connection with the case.
Scott’s ruling Friday was a compromise between requests by Public Defender James Egar, who wanted to delay the preliminary hearing until mid-June, and Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Hulsey, who said Ryann Crow’s family had a right to a speedy trial under Marsy’s Law, the Crime Victim’s Bill of Rights.
