In a recent hearing of the Corbin Fulton County case, new information has emerged regarding the involvement of a key witness, Ms. Yardy. The defense counsel has argued that Ms. Yardy's testimony contradicts previous statements made during the hearing and is now seeking to quash the subpoena. However, the judge has denied the motion and allowed Ms. Yardy to testify.
Ms. Yardy, who was the executive assistant of Fonny Willis, has been called to provide personal knowledge about the relationship between Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade. The defense counsel objected to this, stating that there was no foundation for Ms. Yardy's knowledge of when Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade met. The prosecution argued that Ms. Yardy had personal conversations with Ms. Willis, who informed her about the meeting at a conference in October 2019.
The defense counsel raised objections, claiming that this information was hearsay and not admissible in court. However, the prosecution offered a stipulation, stating that Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade did indeed meet at the conference in question. The defense counsel accepted the stipulation, and the judge allowed limited questioning on the matter.
During the hearing, it was revealed that Ms. Yardy had allowed Ms. Willis to stay at her condo in April 2021. The defense counsel argued that this information was irrelevant to the case and was an attempt to divert attention from the main issues. However, the judge ruled that Ms. Yardy's personal knowledge of the relationship between Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade was relevant and allowed her to testify.
The defense counsel continued to object, claiming that the prosecution had not disclosed all the information about Ms. Yardy's testimony. The prosecution argued that they were not required to reveal every detail ahead of time and that they had presented a good faith basis for calling Ms. Yardy as a witness.
After considering the arguments, the judge denied the defense counsel's motion to quash the subpoena and allowed Ms. Yardy to testify. The defense counsel's objections based on attorney-client privilege were set aside for the time being.
The hearing concluded with the dismissal of the previous witness, Mr. Bradley, and the anticipation of Ms. Yardy's testimony via Zoom. The prosecution stated that Ms. Yardy's testimony would provide additional insight into the relationship between Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade.
The case continues to unfold as the court examines the evidence and hears from witnesses. The testimony of Ms. Yardy is expected to shed light on the nature of the relationship between the parties involved and potentially impact the outcome of the case.
