A pretrial hearing held Wednesday in the cold case murder of Meagan McDonald featured feuding attorneys, last-minute evidence and bombshell details. News 12 was inside the courtroom when it was revealed publicly for the first time that accused killer Edward Holley believed McDonald was pregnant with his baby when she was killed. Holley and McDonald were broken up when she was killed. He said during the interrogation that they were arguing and she was seeing an abusive ex-boyfriend, who he believes did it. Before the video was played, the hearing was almost adjourned because Holley’s defense said they were given thousands of new pieces of evidence by the special prosecutors on the case two days ago but both sides eventually agreed to continue playing the video since no testimony was expected. The hearing is expected to take at least another two days and is scheduled to continue Nov. 16 and Nov. 20.
