GOLDEN, Colo.—The teen accused of kidnapping and killing a 10-year-old Westminster girl is due in court for a hearing laying out the evidence against him.
Austin Sigg’s hearing on Friday comes a day after the Colorado Supreme Court overturned a judge’s decision to keep proceedings closed to the public.
Prosecutors expect the hearing to move ahead even though a hearing earlier this month was canceled as the media challenged the decision to close the hearing.
Sigg is accused of kidnapping and killing Jessica Ridgeway in October and also attacking a jogger. Prosecutors say they’re dropping two charges against him but adding sexual exploitation charges because of a video of a child allegedly found during their investigation of Sigg.
