Overview

  • U.S. prosecutors want to exclude evidence hinting at the couple's possible past as Russian spies to focus on the identity theft charges in their upcoming trial.
  • Walter Glenn Primrose and Gwynn Darle Morrison allegedly lived for decades under stolen identities, with Primrose using a stolen identity to obtain a secret-level security clearance in the U.S. Coast Guard.
  • Photographs showing the couple in what appear to be authentic KGB uniforms were found in their home, though prosecutors say they are irrelevant to the charges.
  • The trial is set for next month but may be delayed after Primrose received new legal counsel.
  • Morrison will remain jailed pending trial, while a hearing for Primrose's potential release is not yet scheduled.
