Attempted Capital Murder, Aggravated Kidnapping and Aggravated Robbery

the Tampering offense. The sentences were to be served concurrently. Appellant

was also assessed court costs. Appellant’s brief was filed on July 2, 2015. The

State’s brief is currently due on August 3, 2015.

in this case. In the past month she has appeared for her regular docket, grand jury

in CR2012-407 which involved Possession of Marijuana between 5 and 50 Pounds,

a third-degree felony. Additionally, she is out of the office for the first part of this
