Evidence on Courtney Clenney’s laptop was destroyed.
According to NBC Miami, the Miami-Dade official announced her decision on June 26 and found that the defense had breached attorney-client privilege. Judge Cruz decided that because those conversations took place between Deborah, Kim (Courtney’s father), and their attorneys, they could not be admitted into evidence.
According to CBS News, Deborah Clenney and Kim Dewayne were taken into custody in January 2024 on suspicion of possessing Obumesli’s laptop. The parents were accused by the prosecutors of having illegal access to a computer, computer system, or electronic device.
Courtney was also charged with second-degree murder in addition to the other charges. Later, her parents were set free. But a warrant ordering their surrender by March 2024 was issued. They were freed once more after posting bond in February.
