Overview
- Jury selection is set to begin next week, with opening arguments scheduled for Dec. 1.
- The court denied a request to move the trial or seat an out-of-county jury, finding no showing of pervasive prejudice in Norfolk County.
- The competency review was ordered after a September jail stabbing that the defense said diminished Walshe’s ability to participate in his case.
- Walshe remains in custody on charges including murder, misleading investigators, and improper conveyance of a human body, and his wife's remains have not been found.
- Prosecutors point to alleged Google searches about disposing of a body, surveillance of cleaning-supply purchases at Home Depot, and blood and a damaged knife recovered in the home.
