ORLANDO, Fla. — The Winter Park woman accused of stabbing her UCF executive husband to death in January was granted two court victories Tuesday.
- Investigators: Danielle Redlick stabbed husband to death in January
- They say she and UCF executive husband, Michael, argued often
- Judge OK'd supervised visits with their children at Orange County Jail
- PREVIOUSLY:
During a hearing at the Orange County Courthouse, Judge Dan Traver granted Danielle Redlick's motion to have visitation with her kids at the Orange County Jail, but only with the supervision of a court-appointed guardian.
Those children were interviewed by law enforcement officials investigating the killing and will be listed as witnesses in Redlick's murder trial.
Redlick is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of her husband, Michael Redlick, who was director of the UCF DeVos Sport Business Management program. He was found dead at the couple's Temple Drive home on January 12.
Investigators say Danielle Redlick stabbed her husband during an argument and that she tried to cover up the attack. Police say she waited 11 hours before calling 911, and in that time browsed various dating websites and tried to clean up the crime scene.
One other court matter is a motion in another case: Danielle Redlick's sister and stepfather are petitioning for joint temporary custody of the children, who were appointed an independent guardian ad litem by the judge. The Redlick relatives said in a court filing that they are the closest family members and best to care for the children in the interim.
There were also arguments about the Redlicks' finances, including their million-dollar home. Prosecutors told a judge they were concerned that Danielle Redlick may have unknown access to cash and assets. But in the end, Traver ruled there was not enough proof of that. Therefore, with no means to pay for an attorney, Danielle Redlick will be allowed to move forward with the help of public defenders.
Redlick will continue to be held in jail without bond as she awaits her murder trial in June.
