Open an evidence card to see what the record supports and what still needs verification.
View More — Medical findings
WFLA describes an autopsy homicide determination and injuries. A medical manner-of-death classification does not by itself decide who committed a crime or the required mental state.
View More — Discovery and witness accounts
The police release supplies the investigative chronology. Roommate observations must be attributed and evaluated with the original statements and records.
View More — Expert review and timing
The October 13 request for additional expert preparation preceded the later continuance. The October 15 report controls the calendar summary here.
06 | Prosecution and defense
View More — Prosecution position
Authorities charged Moore with aggravated manslaughter of a child and related offenses. Police reported an autopsy finding of homicide. The criminal responsibility and elements of each charge remain unproved at trial.
View More — Defense position
Counsel requested more time for expert review. October 15 reporting attributes the further delay to witness and expert scheduling conflicts. No complete substantive defense theory or expert testimony is adopted here.
07 | Trial testimony and courtroom developments
The existing directory’s November listing is replaced by the October 15 postponement and reported December 3 hearing. Earlier reporting alternately described November 2 or November 6; neither is presented as a current firm setting.
View More — Read the proceeding in context
A reported question, an attorney’s argument, an admitted exhibit and a court’s finding are not interchangeable. Where a full transcript, exhibit or signed order has not been obtained, the gap is identified rather than filled with an inferred result.
08 | Verdicts, sentencing and appeals
No verdict or sentence is established. The case remains pending, with trial scheduling to be addressed at the reported December hearing.

December 3, 2026 — reported disposition hearing to set trial
Future settings can change. The sources identify whether this entry is based on a filed record, an official announcement or attributed court reporting. A source check does not establish that no later filing exists.

This case file was reconciled with Jaded Evidence’s master trial records and the public sources listed above. The source descriptions preserve the difference between a primary court document, an official party announcement and reporting. A prosecution release states the prosecution’s account; it is not a substitute for a verdict.
The page links to available originals and clearly identified reporting. Missing transcripts, exhibits, expert reports or signed orders are listed as research gaps. No quotation, timestamp, forensic result or ruling is supplied from inference.
