Multiple motions were denied in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon for Larayna Manning, the women charged with murder in the December, 2020 shooting death of Calvin “Cue” Taylor on North Kentucky Avenue.
Manning, who is set to go to trial in December, appeared in Christian Circuit Court alongside defense attorney Jason Pfiel, who informed the court they are requesting specific evidence that was tested be sent to their expert witness for review.
Pfiel also argued once again for bond modification for his client, who filed several motions to the court on her own, saying that she has been incarcerated for quite some time and would be willing to have strict regulations.
Judge Andrew Self denied the bond motion, saying he believes bond is appropriate as it is, as he has already lowered it once before to ten percent of $500,000. He also denied Manning’s other motions, including a motion to dismiss the indictment, a motion to review evidence and a motion to enter an Alford plea.
Along with murder, Manning is also charged with first-degree robbery—drugs, cash and a safe were missing from Taylor’s home when police began the investigation and police say Taylor’s mouth and wrists were duct-taped, indicating there had been a robbery.
Manning’s son and co-defendant, Anthony Manning, has already entered an Alford plea to charges of facilitation to complicity to commit murder and first-degree facilitation to complicity to commit robbery, for his role in the incident.
