Where it stood

The September 16, 2025 decision dismissed the two murder counts charged as acts of terrorism; nine counts, including second-degree murder, were unaffected.

The May 18, 2026 suppression decision excluded some items from the backpack search during the Altoona arrest and declined to suppress others, including the firearm and notebook recovered in a later inventory search.

By a brief April 1, 2026 order, Justice Gregory Carro moved the trial from its earlier June 8 date to September 8, 2026; the defense had requested the adjournment.

On June 18, 2026, the defense withdrew its notice of a possible extreme-emotional-disturbance defense, a filing that had been sealed since September 2025, one day after the court ordered it unsealed.
