Huntsman and Curiel back in court
Tami Huntsman and Gonzalo Curiel, the Salinas couple accused of killing two children and abusing a third child under their care, were back in court on Wednesday.
The hearing was supposed to find out when Huntsman’s new attorney, Scott Erdbacher, would be ready for trial. In court, he said he still needed time to review hundreds of pages of evidence.
Huntsman and Curiel are accused of abusing and killing Delylah, 3, and Shaun Tara, 6, then hiding their bodies in a plastic bin in a storage Redding facility. They’re also accused of abusing the children’s older sister, who was found in Plumas County.
The trial was originally scheduled for Feb. 2017, but it was delayed. A new hearing to set a trial date is scheduled for Jan. 11, 2017.
