Johnny Wall in Court
In October 2013, six months after Johnny Wall's arrest, a preliminary hearing was heard in Salt Lake County criminal court. A judge decided the State of Utah had enough evidence to try Dr. John Wall for murder. Wendy Wall says that jail is tough on her brother for a crime he didn't commit and their family can't meet the exorbitantly high bail.

Johnny Wall in Court
Howard Lundgren and Fred Metos, Johnny Wall's attorneys, argue that Uta must have taken Xanax and that the deep cuts on her body are self-inflicted, an indication of suicide.

The Defense
Prosecutors presented DNA evidence saying it potentially puts Johnny Wall in Uta's bedroom. Defense attorney Fred Metos argues the DNA only indicates the presense of a Wall male, which could be one of Johnny's two sons.
