The pause button has been hit on the preliminary hearing that will one day determine if multiple defendants will stand trial on charges stemming from the murder of Turlock resident Korey Kauffman. On Tuesday Judge Barbara Zuniga ordered a month-long recess on the case to give defense attorneys time to review audio recordings, jailhouse phone call recordings and other reports all recently handed over by the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office. Modesto defense attorney Frank Carson, his wife Georgia DeFilippo, former California Highway Patrol Officer Walter Wells, and brothers Baljit Athwal and Daljit Atwal, who own the Pop N’ Cork stores in Turlock, have all been charged with Kauffman’s murder.
