Ginocchetti trial : Pretrial motions set for May 21st: Defense presents judge with medical reports

Timothy J. Ginocchetti’s pretrial conference ended just a few minutes after its 8:30 a.m. start time at Onondaga County Court Tuesday.

Judge Anthony Aloi was presented with medical reports and evaluations from defense attorney Mike Vavonese, who stood in for Ginocchetti’s lawyer, Emil Rossi, to look at as the case proceeds. Rossi was not present for personal reasons.

Aloi then ordered the minutes from the grand jury proceedings and scheduled May 21 for pretrial motions, which is when further motions will be presented to Aloi. Pretrial motions will be at 8:30 a.m. at Onondaga County Court.

Aloi also said the case would continue without bail.

Ginocchetti, former civil engineering major at Syracuse University, was charged April 4 with second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his mother to death on Aug. 23, 2006. He pled not guilty on April 9.
