Judge Rules Key Evidence Excluded in Courtney Clenney Murder Case

 The legal proceedings of OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney, accused of murdering her boyfriend Christian Obumseli, reached a critical juncture in a Miami courtroom on Wednesday, June 26.

During the hearing, which saw Clenney dressed in a red jumpsuit, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Laura Shearon Cruz deliberated on whether a crucial piece of evidence concerning Clenney's parents would be admissible in court.

"I am granting the defendant's motion to exclude [evidence], in part," Judge Cruz announced from the bench.

The judge sided with Clenney's defense team in a computer hacking case involving her and her parents, ruling that prosecutors had violated legal principles in their acquisition of the evidence.

Following the ruling, attorney Jude Faccidomo, representing Clenney, spoke to the press about the implications of Judge Cruz's decision.

"The state attorney's office has breached attorney-client privilege," Faccidomo asserted. "The next step should be the dismissal of charges against my client and their withdrawal from the homicide case against Courtney Clenney."

Clenney faces a second-degree murder charge stemming from the fatal stabbing of Obumseli at their upscale Edgewater condominium.

Earlier this year, prosecutors also charged Clenney's parents, Kim Dewayne and Deborah Clenney, along with their daughter, for allegedly hacking Obumseli's laptop. Investigators accessed Dewayne's iCloud account, discovering messages indicating attempts, with defense attorneys' involvement, to guess passwords and access the laptop after Obumseli's death.

Despite arguments that the laptop was shared between Clenney and Obumseli, and that the parents had authority to access it, all three Clenney family members were charged with hacking offenses.

"They intruded on attorney-client privileged communications," Faccidomo emphasized. "This breach of privacy rights led Judge Cruz to exclude any evidence derived from it."

Following a protracted legal battle, defense attorneys achieved a significant victory on Wednesday with Judge Cruz's decision to exclude the contested messages as evidence in the homicide case.

The next court hearing in this ongoing case is scheduled for August.
