Sarah Patrick murder case
Sarah Patrick's defense team requested a continuance for her murder trial on July 29, 2026, citing newly uncovered evidence, a potential new murder weapon, and the need to investigate new suspects after a police officer reported a "hunch" about a pawned firearm. As of July 29, 2026, the trial is still scheduled for August 3, 2026, despite the defense's request, which was previously denied on July 16, 2026. Patrick, who was 17 when arrested in July 2025, is accused of killing her mother and stepfather in February 2025. Prosecutors claim to have "mountains of digital and physical evidence" against her, and her bond has been denied multiple times due to flight risk and community safety concerns.
