On Friday, Melissa Huckaby appeared in court, but failed to enter a plea.  She is charged with the abduction, rape, and murder of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu

Judge Linda Loftus also ruled to seal the results of Sandra’s autopsy and toxicology tests.

Huckaby’s attorney, Sam Behar, withdrew a prior request to exhume the body of Sandra for a second autopsy. 

The defense determined the medical examiner had preserved sufficient tissue samples for additional testing. 

Behar requested more time to review the evidence in the case prior to entering a plea, so Huckaby’s arraignment was postponed until May 22.
