Hearing in Barbour case to compel discovery evidence
By Mark Gilger March 4, 2014
SUNBURY - A hearing will be held 9:15 a.m. April 1 on a motion filed by Miranda Barbour's attorney to compel discovery evidence from the district attorney's office in a murder case that has drawn international attention.
In a related order issued Friday, Northumerland County Judge Charles Saylor granted permission to the commonwealth to preserve hard drives from Troy LaFerrara's computer and his mother's computer seized by police upon the execution of a search warrant.
LaFerrara was found stabbed to death in a yard in Sunbury in November. Miranda Barbour, 19, and her 22-year-old husband, Elytte Barbour, are charged with homicide in the Port Trevorton man's death.
Saylor said preserving the hard drives will allow the defense attorneys or an expert of their choosing to examine them in the future....
During last week's prison board meeting, Johnson said the international attention about Barbour's claim to The Daily Item that she killed more than 22 people has disrupted security and efficiency at the prison, which among other issues, prompted her transfer.
