We're in a bigger courtroom right now than the standard District 15 spot, they're talking about if they can keep the big room for next time. Room is full here so a smaller room is bad.
That's that! Off to @KKTV11News for my live shots. I'll have a full story tonight in the 10PM
A last note from court today. Both Al and Landen were wearing blue. Either blue tie or a blue mask and eyeshadow.
Small signs, but a constant reminder.

We’re about 15 mins from the expected start of the #LeteciaStauch preliminary hearing. We know these things run late often, so we’ll see when it actually kicks off.
Mostly just me and a few other reporters sitting outside the locked courtroom right now.
Mr. Tolini has entered the courtroom. He's the "newly" appointed defense attorney for #LeteciaStauch after the whole fiasco earlier with her representing herself, then backing out.
He was given the mighty task of starting from scratch earlier this year on the case.
We just watched @4thJudicialDA and his team walk in too. Both attorneys are now in the courtroom, but doors for reporters haven’t opened yet.
A lot to talk about after going through the 32 pages of the arrest affidavit for #LeteciaStauch, here's a full breakdown of what we learned.
It's important to note, this was filed BEFORE they found #GannonStauch's body in Pace, Florida.
This will be a long thread (1/?)
The report is filed by the @EPCSheriff, and broken up into different segments to help keep the timeline in order. I'll be doing the same to keep the story on track.
We start with the fact that in those tips to investigators, someone subbmited a randsom note for Gannon...
asking for bitcoin. They were not able to track down the person who submitted the note, but that is absolutley disgusting.
*The initail report*
A lot of this is the same as we've said, but #LeteciaStauch makes a call on 1/27 saying Gannon is missing, calling at 6:55 PM.
