HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – Sidney Moorer’s retrial for the alleged kidnapping of Heather Elvis is now scheduled to take place on August 29, according to court documents filed Tuesday.
On Friday, July 15, 800 summons and questionnaires were mailed out to find prospective jurors for the retrial, according to a scheduling order filed Tuesday. These questionnaires will be sent back by August 15. Final hearing dates on August 19 will address any pre-trial matters that need to be resolved. Attorneys need to provide a witness list to the court by August 26.
On Monday, August 29, the jury panel will arrive at the Horry County Justice Center in Conway for the jury selection process.
According to the affidavit filed July 13, Steven Schiraldi was asked to be in court during the period of Aug. 29 through Sept. 9. Schiraldi previously testified in a June trial regarding the kidnapping charge against Moorer, who is accused in connection with the December 2013 disappearance of Heather Elvis.
Twelve jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict in Moorer’s case during his trial in June, leading to a hung jury and, ultimately, a mistrial on June 24.
