Days before his sentencing, Timothy McVay's lawyers filed a motion to have his conviction dismissed.
After weeks of testimony in a bench trial presided by Judge Mike Meersman, McVay was convicted of murdering 29-year-old Carrie Olson. The verdict was read July 17, 2015.
In reading the verdict, Judge Meersman noted that as Olson's death was determined to be homicide by unspecified means, and said there could have been a number of ways Carrie died. Judge Meersman said that the only reasonable inference is that Olson died at McVay's house.
"I don't know how you did it, but you did it," Judge Meersman said directly to McVay.
Judge Meersman found McVay guilty of both first degree murder and concealment of a homicidal death.
Online court records show that on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, McVay's lawyers filed a motion to have the convictions dismissed. Prosecutors responded to the motion Thursday, October 8.
The motions were expected to be heard before McVay's sentencing, which was scheduled for Friday, October 9, at 1 p.m.
News 8 will offer a live stream and a live blog of the sentencing.
