Overview
- Video testimony from two boys and a teacher described family tensions, including a child recalling Fabian saying his father hit a woman, without clarifying if he meant the defendant.
- A neighbor boy told the court the child had resumed contact with his father after a break tied to disputes involving a girlfriend with horses and said Fabian would not have gone with a stranger.
- The presiding judge cautioned Fabian’s mother after a private investigator reported she may have passed data drives to a friend, while her lawyer denied any handover and said files were only viewed in her presence.
- Prosecutors opened proceedings against the father for suspected false testimony after his earlier appearance, and he told the court he believes Gina H. is innocent and that they are together again.
- A voice memo played in court captured Gina H. saying she has borderline disorder and depression, and she is charged with luring the boy from home, stabbing him at least six times, then burning the body, with the next hearing set for May 21.
